The Taste of Forgotten Love (Sweet Sin's Revenge 2) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 15: Showdown

"Ma," sagot niya sa tawag nito habang naglilinis ng baril.

"You need to come back here. The elders wanted you to explain about what happened to Spencer."

Halata sa boses ng ina niya na kakagaling lang nito sa pag-iyak. She and Spencer were best buddies even before her mother's marriage to his father. Nagkaroon lang ng alitan sa dalawa nang akuin ni Spencer ang kasalanan ng isang elder lalo pa at pamangkin ni Laura ang naging biktima.

Pero gayunman ay agad nagboluntaryo ang tiyuhin niya na bantayan siya noong mag-aral siya sa Amerika.

"I will come back now. Don't worry. And ma?"

"Yes? What is it, son?"

A bitter smile curved into his mouth as the image of his uncle dead's body came into mind.

"I will clear his name no matter what it takes," he promised.

Pinatay niya ang tawag at naghanda na sa pag-alis. Pinuntahan niya si Cas sa kwarto na naabutan niyang bagong ligo at nagkukusot ng buhok. Suot nito ang damit na hiniram sa kaniya noon ni Cin.

Frozen to his feet, he stared at her as if she was some kind of apparition. Parang nakikita niya si Cin dito. Her hair, her built, and her nose. Ngayon lang niya napagtagni kung gaano kaparehas ang mga ilong nito. It all reminds him of the little lady who always gave him lovestruck gazes.

Would she also ask for a chocolate drink? Would she look at him, smile, and then blush innocently?

"Lang? Lang? Langdon?"

He blinked when he realized that Cas is already in front of her looking at him curiously. Ni hindi niya namalayan na nakalapit na pala ito sa kaniya dahil sa lalim ng iniisip niya.

"Yes, yes. What?"

Tumawa ito at iginalaw ang kamay sa harapan ng mukha niya. "Are you okay? Kanina ka pa nakatitig sa akin. Is something wrong?"

"N-No," he stammered and cleared his throat. "Nothing's wrong."

Bumaba ang tingin nito sa bihis niya partikular sa baril na nakaipit sa pantalon niya.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving back to Monte Vega. I'm sorry but I can't hitch you in. Masyadong delikado sa iyo. You can stay here. Ligtas ka rito. If something comes up, call me right away, okay?"

"Lang." She held his hand and pulled him back. "Are you really going to go? Can't you take a day off? Bukas ay may gagawin ako. Gusto lang sana kitang makasama ngayon. Please, stay here with me."

Nagdadalawang-isip siya kung sasang-ayon ba pero hindi na siya binigyan ng pagkakataon ni Casindra.
Pinatahimik na siya ng halik nito sabay dukot nito ng baril niya at itinapon sa ilalim ng kama.

She threw her arms around his neck while her lips were pressed hard against his.

He quickly took over. Hinayaan niyang mas lumalim pa ang halikan nilang dalawa. Ipinikit niya ang mga mata at nag-concentrate sa amoy ni Cas. If he could only remember the  feelings he had while kissing her in the past, maybe he'll also remember how to love Casindra back.

Their tongues danced in a rhythm that he had already forgotten. Even her touch felt foreign now.

Trying hard to stay in the moment, he licked her lower lip and grind his lower body in the hopes that he would be turned on but nothing happened.

"Lang."

Everything became standstill when he heard Cin call his name. Slowly, his grip on Casindra's hair loosened. Sighing, he snapped out of it when Cin's face formed into his head while responding to Cas' kisses. It's not right. He's being unfair to Cas.
