Her Twisted Mistake

Chapter 43

"You can start now," Franklin whispered.

I wanted to roll my eyes. How can he expect me to tell my experiences when he's being so near. Nasa likod ko na ang dalawang kamay niya at ramdam kong umiikot ang isang daliri niya sa likod ko. I couldn't push him because I'm trapped. Nasa pagitan siya ng magkahiwalay kong hita at kahit nasa sink ako, medyo nakatungo siya sa akin.

He was only wearing a towel and I'm aware I'm only wearing a bathrobe. Just by thinking that made me think of an unholy thing we could do.

I licked my lips in anticipation.

"Uhmm. We can.... talk when we dress up," nag-iinit kong sinabi. Kasi ramdam kong may gustong gawin ang sistema ko. It's been a long time since I experienced that kind of thing and now that he's so near, it awakens my desire to do it again!

"I want it now." The hoarseness of his voice didn't help me to ignore my damn stupid desire.

"But..." reklamo ko. "My son..."

"Our son, Sierra!"

I licked my lips again and annoyingly looked at him. I saw him raise a brow and hid his smirk.

"But it's hot in here, Franklin. We can just talk some other time!"

He chuckled and immediately shook his head.

"It's Reu and not Franklin. Now start talking so we can do something about that hot thing you're feeling."

Hindi ko alam kung nang aasar ba siya o ano. Napamaang nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

Hindi pa ako nakakapagsalita nang maramdaman ko ang labi niya sa noo ko. And then in my nose before it landed on my lips.

"Why did you meet up with your cousin?" he asked gently. He looked at me, urging me to speak. I saw desperation on his face like he really wanted to know all about what happened to me. And maybe he did something hypnotising because I started to talk.

I licked my lips before I started talking.

"Okay. The thing is, before I went back. I already met Carolina in the US. She was in trouble at that time and I saved her. She was so shocked when she saw me and we had a row fight. And then she told stories about you to our son kaya nagka interest si Francis na e meet ka."

I looked down at my legs when I felt him pitch it a bit. When I looked at his eyes, namumungay na ito.

"And then?" he urged. His voice was laced with sadness and longing. Pero inognora ko lang kasi baka hindi naman.

"Kaya 'yon. Pinasama ko si baby Francis sa kaibigan ko para kunwari e meet ka pero hindi totoong me-meet ka. Kunwari lang. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit nagkatotoo. And then Carolina called me and told me she saw baby Francis with you and I was so shocked. Carlos can't be reached so I have no choice but to go back. And then, my cousin, Cedric saw me and now the whole family wanted to see me." I paused to exhale dramatically. "I think I'm in trouble," nanlulumo kong sinabi.

"You are in trouble," pag sang ayon ni Reu. He kissed my lips again kaya napangiti ako despite my problem. Pero hindi siya nangiti.

"How did you survive the accident?" napapaos niyang tanong. He was staring at me with his hurt and sad eyes. I could also feel his longing.

I was about to reply but I stopped talking. He looked away when he saw me staring at his eyes. I tried to get his attention but he didn't want me to look at him. Bumaba ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. His hands that were in my back embraced me tight. He cling to me tight habang nasa balikat ko ang ulo niya. I don't know if he's crying or not. I just know he needed the tight embrace na para bang mawawala ulit ako kung papakawalan niya ako.
