Intelligence series 1: Mi hermosa amante

Kabanata 40

Belle's POV

I can't see anything. He blindfolded me and he tied both my hands. 

Probably because I was struggling earlier. 

Wala na akong nagawa pa kundi manahimik and tumigil nalang. It's no use.

By now, alam kong alam na ng parents ko na nawawala ako. Alam ko ring alam nila kung sino ang dumukot sa'kin. Sinong hindi makakaalam kung pareho kaming wala?

"Blindfolds, really? My security can still trace me even without me telling them." Mataray kong sabi sakanya. Kanina pa siya tahimik dito sa tabi ko habang lumilipad ang chopper.

Masyado niyang minamaliit ang security ko. Porke nakuha lang niya ako kagabi, akala niya panghabangbuhay na.

"They're highly trained ya'know" Pagmamayabang ko but I received no response.

Why is he silent now? Must be hard to think the way out, huh.

"If I were you, I will take of my blindfolds and free my hands," I tried convincing him.

A moment of silence. Only the chopper's noice can be heard. 

Is he asleep? But I can feel him beside me, base on his slight movements I know he is not in slumber. 

Is he ignoring me? How dare he!

I look sideways in his side irritatedly and to my surprise, a soft breathing welcomed me. His face is so close that I have to look away. 

Nag init ang pisngi ko sa ginawa. Kanina paba siya ganyan?!

Is he staring at me at the moment? 

"Look again," He whispered near my ears. I can smell his minty breath.

"Finally said something, huh" I sneered at him. Akala ko tatahimik na siya buong biyahe. 

"I am reserving my voice later, Baby, and preparing my vow to you," He said teasingly as he caress my cheeks. 

I feel electricity run down my body because of his touch. 

I hate the way my body reacts to him.

"We're not getting married," I said harshly.

This can't be real! Marriage out of convinience?! No way!

"Oh we will, after we land." He assured me. Nanigas ako sa kinauupuan ko nang isandal niya yung ulo niya sa balikat ko. 

He made himself comfortable in my neck. 

Damn. This whole thing is damned.

Dahil na'rin sa walang magawa ay hinila na'rin ako ng antok. Before the darkness  consumed me, I felt him moved and gave me an embrace. It feels like he is cuddling me. 

Unti unti akong namulat nang maramdaman kong parang may bumuhat sa'kin.  

Lawrence carried me and he walk with so much gentleness. Afraid of waking me up. 

I'm still half awake. Ilang oras ba tulog ko? Ganon ba kalayo yung pinuntahan namin?

I surveyed my eyes around the area and I see a house. A vacation house. I tried familiarizing the area but I couldn't see anything since the sun has already set but I can hear the sound of wave. 

I cam smell the scent of ocean. Are we on the beach?

"You're awake," I heard him said. Naputol yung pagtingin tingin ko sa paligid nang magsalita ito.

I stared at him but he only throw me swift glance and proceeds to go inside the house.

I see men following us, probably his security. He has its own squadron, wow. Are they the same men he was ordering around in the hotel?
