Versailles Series Book 9: The Lawyer [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 68

H E R A

Unlike the last time I came here, I was wearing a more appropriate clothing especially because we were on a beach. I was wearing a flowy maxi dress to Enteng's delight who was wearing a loose polo shirt and khaki pants. I usually dread this day and drag myself to it just to make my parents happy. I don't know how the day will end but hopefully, it is not as bad or worse than what happened in the past.

"Are you ready?" Tanong ni Enteng sa akin habang kinukuha ang mga bag namin sa likuran.

"I know these people. Nothing they'll say will shock me or embarrass me more than what they've done in the past."

"You'll introduce me as what?" A playful smirk was on his sensual lips as he asked me.

"Manliligaw." I poked his cheek. "Masyado kang nawiwili."

He shrugged. "Can you blame me? But you know, take all the time you need, baby."

I smiled and held onto his awaiting hand as we walked towards the pavilion where the rest of my family were. I looked up at Enteng. He is definitely the tallest one here and will probably stand out effortlessly. His confident aura is commanding already and top that off with his gorgeous looks and manly scent.

"Heraclea!" Niyakap ko si Nanay. Hindi ko na binanggit dito kung anong nangyari sa huling bisita sa akin ng ama ko. Ayokong makita na malungkot siya para sa akin.

Kasunod ko namang niyakap si Tatay na kasunod nito. "Na-miss ko po kayo."

"Eh, dalasan mo kayang umuwi?"

"Marami pong trabaho, Tay."

Tumango ito bago bumaling kay Enteng na kayayakap lang ni Nanay. "Hindi ka naman nawala papunta rito?"

"Hindi naman po."

"Mabuti naman kung ganoon. Halina kayo at baka gutom na kayo."

Bago pa kami makaupo ay naharang na kami ni tita Angie. "Ay, may bisita pala kayo Ferdie."

Tumingin sa akin si Tatay. "Ahm, manliligaw ko po. Si Enteng."

Tinignan nito ng mataman ang katabi ko. "Ah, pinoy ba siya? Bakit iba ang kulay ng mata niya?"

Enteng smiled at my aunt and instead of doing the mano with her, he kissed the back of her hand. "I have Filipino blood but I am fluent in the language. Ako po si Enteng Llamanzares."

"Oh...napaka-gwapong bata."

Enteng winked at her. "Bagay na po ba kami ng pamangkin niyo? Boto na po ba kayo sa akin?"

"Ah...eh...oo naman." My tita blushed. Blushed!

I shook my head. Enteng's charms know no bounds. He must have been so smooth like this before he met me. No wonder he can easily lure women to his web and probably it shocked him how immune I was - not now obviously because I am head over heels in love with him - when he met me.

"Bakit hindi mo pa siya sagutin, Heraclea? Hindi ba, matanda ka na para patagalin pa ang ligawan?" Baling sa akin ng tiyahin ko.

"Kahit ilang taon pa niya akong paghintayin, hihintayin ko pa rin po siya." He dropped a kiss on my forehead and I swear my aunt could have collapsed in front of us.

Nginitian ko ng pilit ang tiyahin ko. "Galing pa po kami ng biyahe, tita. Kakain po muna kami."

"Oo naman. Sige..."

At least they let us sit first before my relatives flocked over to our table and got to know - more like interrogate - Enteng. From knowing his family, occupation, hobbies, and most annoying of all, why is he courting me of all women?

I stood up to get us some refreshments when my bitch of a cousin stalked behind me. Still clad in her designer-not-designer clothes, she gave me that judgmental assessing look.

"Sino naman ang dinala mo ngayon?"

My eyes remained on the cup I was filling up. "Hindi pa ba nakarating sa iyo kung sino siya?" I set the cups down to stop myself from shoving them in her face. "Do yourself a favor and Google - Laurent Llamanzares." Binigyan ko ito ng pekeng ngiti. "Enjoy!"

When I got back to our table, Enteng is still flocked with my relatives. "Baka po nalunod na iyung mga anak niyo tito, tita." Nang walang gumalaw ay sinamaan ko ang tingin ko. "Pwede po bang kumain muna kami ni Enteng? Bisita po siya rito."

I rolled my eyes as they dispersed one by one.

"I missed feisty Hera."

Tumaas ang isang kilay ko. "Whose better? Hot-torney or Ice Queen?"

He squinted his grey eyes. "I don't know...I like both ladies."

I chuckled and swatted his arm. "You are such a womaniser."

He caught my hand and pulled me to him. "You know it's just one woman. Hot-torney is for hot and slutty Hera. Ice Queen is when you're bitching."

"Me? Bitching? How dare you!" I feigned my hurt expression.

"I love you even if you have a hundred personalities. Do you know why? Because at the end of the day, in my bed, there's only one woman who loves me and sees me for who I am and that's enough for me to accept the other hundred crazy personalities."

"I want to believe you but I also know you have a sweet tongue."

His eyebrow cocked at me teasingly. "Is that literally or figuratively? Because I know you can prove both."

My cheeks burned as his eyes stayed glued to mine. "Enteng?!"

His thumb caressed my lower lip. "I miss kissing you and the other things that come with it. I am nothing but excited to be deserving of your lips again. Until then, I'll continue to tease you and fan the flames until you offer this to me."

My finger seductively touched his chest. "What if I tell you I look forward to it myself? I wonder if your stamina and endurance are still there. Just like how I remember it?"

"Tease me like that and I will make sure I will wreck you on our first night together on my bed. It's the kind of wreck that will have you moaning my name until the sun rises, Hera. I will make sure you're going to feel how much I miss you and your body. No inch of your skin will be left un-kissed by my lips or tongue or both." I swallowed the lump in my throat. His eyes followed it down to my chest. "I'll bet all of my money in the bank right now that when I swipe my finger in that wetness between your thighs, my finger will be glistening with your arousal." His grey eyes seemed to darken with lust too.

I bit my lip and played with the button on his shirt. "Looks like you have to wait then."

"Even if you have to wait too?"

I nodded. "Yes, even if I need to wait too."

I crossed my legs to stop the throbbing there only for Enteng to notice it and give me that sensual smile.
