Alluring Temptation (Familiá Altamirano #1)

CHAPTER 19

Photo booth

        I WOKE with Reeve's arm around my waist. I could feel his warm minty breath on my bare shoulders. Nakayakap sa baywang ko ang dalawang kamay niya habang nakapalupot sa binti ko ang kanya.

Hindi ko alam pero napangiti ako at maingat na hinaplos ang mukha niya, I planted a soft kissed on his cheeks before I quietly removed his arms on my waist. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang hindi siya nagising.

Dumiretso kaagad ako sa banyo para maligo and to prepare for work. Nasanay akong sa loob ng bathroom nagsusuot ng undergarments kaya lumabas akong nakasuot lang ng bra at underwear habang nasa buhok ang towel. I was shocked when I saw him on the edge of the bed, as if he was waiting for me.

Mabilis akong humila ng robe at sinuot sa sarili ko. He already saw me naked, but I still felt awkward and the embarrassed prickled on my skin when he saw me wearing my undergarments only.

"My wife, you didn't wake me up," he said as he stood up and embraced me. I felt him sniff my hair before he let me go.

I gulped. "Sorry, I don't wanna disturb your sleep," I said apologetically.

"Maliligo lang ako at ihahatid kita sa hospital, alright?"

I shook my head, refusing his offer. "You don't have to. I have my car at baka mabinat ka niyan. Kagagaling mo lang sa sakit," I reminded.

"Please?" he pleaded.

My mouth slightly fell open when he looked at me with puppy eyes. I gulped before I slowly nodded.

"O-Okay," I muttered in defeat.

His lips stretched for a smile before he marched towards the bathroom. Habang nasa banyo siya ay sinamantala ko na ang pagkakataon. I went to the closet to get my clothes. I wore a dusty pink blouse with a ribbon in the collar that I partnered with my brown trousers and heels from Dior.

I did my make-up before I went downstairs. Reeve, and I had our quick breakfast together before we bid our goodbyes to Scout and Beau, including Celine.

Hinatid na nga ako ni Reeve sa hospital, and since I don't have my car with me, susunduin niya ako maya maya. He even informed me that he would only take a half day at work since he just went off from being ill, which I totally agreed with.

DAYS went on, and today was my off. I decided to buy some groceries since our stocks were about to run out, and I didn't have things to do since my parents were both busy in managing our companies. Khrizanta is also busy because she's incoming third year this year.

But I texted mom that I would be fetching Kryptone in his school today. Balak kong magbonding kami pagkatapos ng pasok niya kaya ako na ang nagvolunteer na sunduin siya. I also texted his driver, which is my old driver, si Kuya Bong.

I'm just wearing a black cut-out tank top that I paired with my denim jeans and Dior heels. I let my hair down and just wear a ribbon clip as an accessory. I was about to get my keys when Reeve suddenly entered the room. His eyebrows knotted when he saw my look. Pinasadahan niya ako ng tingin.

"Are you going somewhere?" he asked.

I grabbed my keys and nodded. "Yup! I decided to shop for groceries in the mall, and I'm also picking up Kryptone in school,"

His eyes narrowed slightly. "You're going to the mall without me?" He sounded like he got deceived.

My mouth fell open. "But you have a visitor. Nandito si Luhen,"

"He already left, wife." He clarify. "Wait for me, okay? I'll come with you,"

Wala na akong magawa kung hindi ang hayaan siyang samahan ako. Siguro nga mas maganda kung kasama ko siyang mamimili ng mga groceries, since he was the one cooks our food.
