Hotel De Amore

Chapter 14

Kabanata 14

“Hey..”

Muntikan ko nang maisara ulit ang pintuan ng kwarto ko nang bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Jandro.

“Bwisit ka, marunong ka naman sigurong kumatok ano?” inis kong sabi at inirapan siya.

“Ang hinhin mo talaga, miss Gallego” he uttered as he smiled playfully.

I scowled at his teasing, but before I could walk past him, he effortlessly swept me into his arms, his hands wrapping around my waist.

I gulped as I felt my throat go dry.

I looked up to him and damn... My knees weakened as his gaze met mine. Damn those deep, soulful auburn eyes.

“J-Jandro!” nauutal kong saway sa kanya at bahagya siyang tinulak sa dibdib but my strength is just not enough to push him away or maybe I am not investing enough effort at all.

“What is it, my feisty little lady?” he asked huskily and hell... That almost made me faint.

He gently put his hand into mine na nasa dibdib niya, brushing it softly.

My breathing was uncontrollable as I felt his heartbeat beating under my palm. It was so fast, so uncontrollable like mine.

“S-si n-nanay...” nanghihina at munting sabi ko nang maramdaman ko ang hininga niya sa ulo ko at ang pagtaas-baba ng adams apple niya.

“Oo, S-si nanay! N-nasa kusina lang k-kaya bumitaw kana” nauutal na saway ko but it doesn't sound like it! I sounded so damn soft and pleasing! Mahabagin, hindi ako 'to.

He let go of my hand and held my chin gently, guiding it to look up to him.

I gulp as I stare at his eyes once again and he's also staring back at me. From my left eye to my right eye then down to my lips before he licked his lips.

He did what I did back then and he's even sexier. Damn... what a trick!

He leaned slowly... very slowly but stopped midway when our lips were just an inch apart.

We stared at each other's eyes.

“Can I?” he asked huskily and deeply as he looked at my lips na marahang hinahaplos ng hinlalaki niya.

I swallowed before I slowly nodded. He smiled before he continued to lean in slowly but before our lips could meet, nanay came in.

“Jusko mahabagin!” nanay appeared stunned dahilan upang mabilis kaming maglayo ni Jandro at nag-iwas ng tingin sa isa't isa.

Jusko naman...

“Ahh sa labas lang po ako 'nay, doon nalang ako maghihintay” paalam ni Jandro at magalang na lumabas.

I looked up to nanay and smiled awkwardly but she just shook her head, still surprised before she went to me.

“Dalaga kana talaga” puna nito na nagpanguso sa akin.

“Nanay naman e. Dalaga naman na talaga ako. Magb-bente sinco na nga” aniko na nagpatawa na lamang kay nanay.

Nagpatulong siya sa akin na dalhin ang mga pagkain sa garden dahil doon daw kami mag-uumagahan na sinunod ko naman.

“Bakit sa garden kakain? Hindi ba't malalate na yata kami sa lagay na iyon 'nay?” nagtatakang tanong ko habang dinadala na namin ang trey palabas.

“Hindi naman daw kayo magt-trabaho ngayon dahil may pupuntahan daw kayong meeting” she responded.

“Sinong nagsabi?” nagtatakang tanong ko, I didn't remember that he said anything about it.
