CHAPTER 55

Constantine's phone was ringing like there was no tomorrow. Its sound was echoing through the whole room.

Hindi naman 'yon masakit sa tainga kaya lang ay paulit-ulit ito na para bang walang katapusan. Katulad ng tahasang pambabalewala rito ng lalaking tahimik na nagbabasa ng libro sa tabi Ella—wala ring katapusan.

"Kanina pa tumatawag ang manager mo."

"Bayaan mo siya."

Ella's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing Constantine's reply. Magkasama silang nakaupo sa mini living room ng kuwarto nito. She is on one end of the couch, and he is on the other.

Dalawang araw na ang nakakaraan mula nang kopyahin niya ang master key na makakabukas ng opisina ni Constantine. Base sa paulit-ulit na panunubok niya kay Aling Pacing ay hindi naman magiging mahirap ang salisihan ang matanda.

Ngayon niya balak tumakas sa penthouse na iyon. However, Constantine's presence  was a game changer.

Hindi ito katulad ng matanda na madaling takasan. He is a smartass and a quick thinker. Mahihirapan siyang gawin ang plano kung mananatili ito sa bahay.

'God. Ang hirap mag-isip,' she mentally complained when her gaze moved down from his sculpted chest to his washboard abs. Constantine was just wearing his boxer that morning while cozying up with her.

Was it just her, or was it that he lost some weight? She shook her head. Sandali pang nagtagal ang titig niya sa mapipintog na kalamnan nito bago unti-unting bumaba...

at bumaba pa...

hanggang....

'Dmn it.' Pasimpleng binago ni Ella ang kanyang pagkakaupo nang may pumintig na kung ano sa kanyang pagkababae. It wasn't like she hadn't seen him naked before. It was just that she couldn't get used to it.

Ni-hindi man lang nga nag-e-effort ang binata habang abala sa pagbasa sa bago nitong paboritong libro—a baby name book. He was just there, breathing, and blatantly being an asshole to Ivano.

"Hindi mo ba sasagutin?" She tried to wave the warm feeling off by changing the way she sat again. Crossing her legs, she discreetly squeezed the pleasure spot between her thighs and shot him a flat glare. "Schedule ng photoshoot ninyo sa La Union, 'di ba? I remember putting that in your schedule two weeks ago when I was still Aron's P.A--"

"Can you refrain from mentioning that name on my face?"

"H-Ha?"

"Pwede bang pangalan ko lang muna ang maririnig ko kahit ngayon lang?" Binaba ni Constantine ang hawak na libro sa kaharap nilang coffee table. It created a mild thud, denoting the controlled force the brute exerted on it. Tipong nagdabog pero sa huling segundo ay hindi tinuloy. Buong akala ni Ella ay dadamputin na nito ang telepono nang sandali nitong tignan 'yon.

She wanted him to.

She needed him out of the house.

Kaso...

'Sht!' Bigla siyang napasinghap nang walang-babalang hatakin siya nito. Hinuli nito ang kanyang baywang at sa laking gulat niya ay iangat siya mula sa couch. One swift move, at kandong na siya nito, forcing her to open her legs wide so he was between them and she was intimately facing him.

'Oh Lord...' Wearing nothing but his usual button-up and her undies, daig pa ni Ella ang nakuryete nang sumayad ang kanyang pagkababae sa kandungan nito. There wasn't a need for her to ask what that hard thing pressed against her femininity was. Init pa lang na kumalat sa kanyang kaselanan ay alam na alam na niya kung ano 'yon.
