Lust At First Sight (R-18)

Chapter 23 (Part 2)

DINNER was served on each table. Danielle wanted to celebrate a part of their heritage and so they served Filipino foods. Their wedding theme is very Filipino as well. There's abaniko as part of their decorations.

The six of them sat in the same table, including the 2 kids. Ella and Liv were talking to each other, they had their own world. They were talking kinda gibberish, like what a normal conversation between 3 years old have.

Liam couldn't stop staring at Maeve from across the table. Naka clench ang kanyang panga habang nakikita na masaya itong nakikipag-usap kay Matt.

While Matt and Maeve were happily talking, catching up about the past 3 years.

Hindi din mawala sa isip ni Liam ang pagtawag ni Matt kay Maeve na "babe"

He used to call her that.

Liam was taken aback from his overthinking nung nagsalita si Vanessa. "So, tell us. Matt and Maeve. Liam and Vanessa. Kind of a spooky switcheroo huh?" She said and smirked at Maeve.

"Well, what can I say. Maeve is an incredible woman. Sinong hindi magkaka gusto sa kanya? She's a successful model who has a good standing with Victoria's Secret. She's a good person, she's hot, and plus hindi siya manloloko." Matt said with full of cockiness in his voice. He looked at Vanessa while saying the last part and he smirked.

She laughed a little bit but you can see how furious she is.

Hindi ba't totoo naman? Matt just said what the rest of them were thinking.

"When did you start seeing each other?" Liam asked seriously while he downed his drink.

Maeve looked at Matt and he just shrugged.

A few years have passed pero ang tolerance ni Maeve sa alcohol ay mahina pa din. She is on her second glass of chardonnay and she's feeling a bit fuzzy. That's where she got the confidence to lie to save her dignity. What's left of it.

"Well, when I arrived in Manila, Matt and I saw each other from the Airport. Fortunately his flight from Milan arrived the same time as my flight from New York. So we went from there." She lied confidently.

"The most fortunate thing that happened to me in the last 3 years I might say." Matt said at hinalikan niya ang kamay ni Maeve.

Maeve felt a slight electricity when Matt kissed her hand. She looked into his eyes and he winked at her. Napatawa naman siya.

They continued eating their dinner, pero ang isa sa kanila ay malapit nang mag alburoto sa galit. Any time the volcano that is Liam Sebastian is about to blow up.

The party continued on and on.

And it wouldn't be a Filipino party kung walang endless na sayawan. All of them were dancing. Tapos na ang program, so the emcee announced that they can do whatever they want.

4 of them were in the dance floor. Well, 6 if you can the 2 little kids that are doing the up and down with their knees while clapping their hands.

Maeve was drinking alone at the open bar. She was looking at the little boy.

His little boy. Says her subconscious.

Liam was looking at her. Looking at her too intently. Nilapitan niya ito.

Let the situation be dammed he said to himself. Gustong gusto niya itong maka-usap. Hell! Gustong gusto niya itong mahagkan, from the moment he saw her. Gusto niyang ihawi lahat ng makita niyang harang para mapuntahan niya ito.
