His Surname

11: The Plot

A/N: Ambilis!!! NUMBER 2 AGAD SA BONGLENI ENGLISH?!?! Anyways...

***

Bongbong looked up at her in awe.

Is she really mine?

Today was Leni Robredo's inauguration and he had been staring at her like the rest of the world did not exist. They came to the venue separately and it still was not long since they confessed to each other. Nothing much had happened. They were both busy in their own ways.

"Ako, si Maria Leonor Gerona Robredo, ay taimtim kong pinanunumpaan na tutuparin ko nang buong katapatan at sigasig ang aking mga tungkulin bilang pangalawang pangulo ng Pilipinas." Her voice was well modulated and calm that could lull him to sleep.

After the ceremony, they were finally face-to-face as Leni descend from the stairs. He approached and and to his surprise, Kit also offered his hand to the Vice President.

His eyes glared at Kit but the congressman did not back down.

Bongbong locked eyes with Leni. She smiled at him and he almost melted when she chose to hold his hand.

"Ang ganda ng girlfriend ko." He whispered while they were walking out of the venue.

Leni giggled before she continued thanking the people who were greeting her on their way.

"Finally," Bongbong said after he sat down at the driver's seat after opening the door for Leni who was now beside him. "Nasolo din kita."

She smiled shyly.

God. That smile will be the end of me.

Bongbong went silent. It made Leni's heart race. Did she do something wrong?

"You did not tell me what you'll wear." Bongbong seriously said and looked at Leni with a blank expression.

Leni blinked. "There was nothing wrong with it." She said - looking at her off-shoulder fiber dress. Her heart was already knocking at her ribs.

"You want to know what's wrong with it?" He asked and leaned closer to her and whispered. "It looks so awful."

The vice president frowned. "Panget ba?"

His thumb caressed her cheek. "Yes."

Their faces were so close she could feel him breathing. It was hot and wet.

Bongbong then kissed the corner of her lips and whispered once more without withdrawing his face. "It's so ugly, I want to tear it off."

She gulped. She knew what he wanted. "Is this my inaugural gift?"

"No." He kissed her lips again. "It's my birthday gift."

Leni pushed him slightly. The tension was cut off. "It's your birthday?"

Bongbong chuckled and leaned back to his seat. "Yes."

Leni was suddenly teary-eyed.

He was startled. "What happened, mahal?"

"I didn't know." She burst into tears. "Hindi ko alam na birthday mo." She wiped them off with her arms.

Bongbong held her to calm her down. "It's okay, mahal. It's not your fault. We just met and we did not know each other pa. It's understandable."

She stopped and looked at him softly. "Do what you want with me, mahal."

Bongbong smiled. "In that dress? I sure will." He pushed her to lean on her seat.

His lips met hers with a clash. He moved softly and she reciprocated. His hand travelled down to her waist. He had been wondering how it would feel between her thighs since she saw her that morning.

"Uhm..." He moved his lips and travelled to her cheek and down to her exposed neck. "Mahal..." She gasped as he felt him biting her collarbone gently.

He took his time there. She could really fell how he fantasized about her while she was taking her oath. "Aahh." She complained when she felt him biting her neck. "Mahal..."

"Para hindi ka makapag-off shoulder." He said and added. "Dapat ako lang nagnanasa sayo."

He went back to kissing her lips while caressing her waist. She pushed him softly and cut off their kiss. "'Wag dito."

Bongbong remembered that they were inside his car and just outside the venue of her inauguration. People would notice them even with tinted window. He could not promise to be gentle with her - especially in that dress.

"Let's take this somewhere else. Shall we?" He tucked her hair behind her ears and wiped the lipstick smeared on her face.

She found it sweet - how he was fixing her dress. "I love you." She said unconsciously.

He grinned and gave her a peck. "Mamaya na, mahal. Baka 'di ko mapigilan. Nasa balita nanaman tayo bukas kapag nakitang kumakaldag yung sasakyan ko."

She laughed. "Okay po."

Minutes after he began driving, his phone rang. It was Imelda. Leni looked at him and she asked her to answer the call instead.

"Hello." She hesitated.

"Hello?" The former first lady's voice was strong and confused. "Robredo?"

She looked at Bongbong who was smiling at her encouragingly. "Yes po. Kasama ko po si Senator. Nagdadrive po s'ya."

"A-ah. Okay, hija. Mag-ingat kayo. Tatawag nalang ako ulit."

She frowned when Imelda ended the call right away and assumed it to be a sign that she did not approve of their relationship.

I don't approve of her as a future in-law, anyways. 

Bongbong noticed her pouting. "It's okay. Ngayon lang 'yan. She'll love you." His hand reached out for hers.

"What the hell, Bongbong?" That was the first thing he heard when he arrived at the mansion.

Unfortunately, they were not able to do the deed due to his mother who had been calling him. He had to do it himself instead since he was too shy to ask his girlfriend to do it for him.

"Why did you allow that woman to answer my call?" Imelda asked, angrily.

Bongbong slumped on the couch. "So that you'll know na I'm with her." He explained. "Mahirap na. Baka mamaya kung ano-ano pa sabihin n'yo."

Imelda glared at him as she approached weakly.

"I can't allow you to ruin my plans." He added.

The former first lady sighed. "Do you really have to do this?"

"You saw what happened, ma. She won. Even after all the rumors. She won the election. She's THAT powerful, ma." He said, emphasizing each word. "I did not expect to lose but if I can use her for something bigger, then I will."

She decided not to argue with him as she saw the glint in his eyes.

"She will not run for the presidency."
