"Now, what did I do this time?" Adam asked while holding his side of the face slapped by Samantha.
"Wag na wag kang hahabi nang kung anu-anong kasinungalingan sa daddy ko para lang masunod ang gusto mo!"
So she thought he was just lying?
Ibinaba niya ang kubyertos na hawak niya at sinimulang ligpitin ang pinagkainan niya.
"Tapos ka na?" tanong nito sa kanya. "Ako na dyan."
Um-oo lang siya, not saying anything.
Masama ang loob nya.
Pero masisisi ba niya si Samantha kung pagduduhan man nito ang mga sasabihin niya?
Noong isang linggo halos ipagtulakan niya palayo ang dalaga, ngayon naman sasabihin niyang mahal na niya ito.
And he expects she'll immediately believe him?
Yes, he deserved that slap from her.
Sinimulan na nitong ligpitin ang pinggan at kubyertos at dinala sa lababo. Nagdadabog ang babae habang sinisimulang hugasan ang mga ginamit niya.
Siya naman, nakatayo lang, sumandal sa pader at tiningnan ito.
Now it's his turn to stare at her long shiny, wavy brown hair, her perfect shaped body, her curvy behind that he's sure would fit to his hands, her white creamy, flawless legs down to her pinkish heels.
Perfect.
His woman is perfect.
Yes, he branded her already as his.
Bago pa man siya makalayo mula sa opisina ni Edward papunta dito, he's already convinced he loves Samantha, and whatever fear he's feeling towards that emotion, he'll bravely face it. He'll face it with her, and he'll trust her she'll be true to him and won't leave him in the future.
Everything is new to him, and he doesn't know how to start, how to go on.
But he'll start with her words.
"I love you."
She loves him.
And he believes she meant it.
Not the "I love you's" he heard from other women, especially when he gave them gifts and more especially when they were in peak of having sex.
No, Sam's "I love you" is different.
And he'll start from that belief.
"Look. I'm sorry, I slapped....are you staring at my behind?!"
Lumingon si Samantha sa kanya at nahuli siyang nakatingin dito, specifically at her behind.
"Nice butt you got there, miss," biro niya.
Ang totoo, hindi niya alam kung paano sisimulang magpaliwanag. Hindi siya sanay manuyo, hindi siya sanay magsalita nang mabulaklak na salita para lang maging maganda sa pandinig nang kausap niya. He always say his words straight to the point, walang paliguy-ligoy. As for the women, it's the same, but he say them using his charms, so he could get what he wanted.
Pero kay Samantha, hindi niya gagawin yon. He'll be himself. He was actually himself with her. Kaya nga tawag nito sa kanya ay Beast.
Now it's his turn to show her that the Beast can truly be a prince somehow.
But she loves that beast on him.
Better use it then to his advantage.
"Magsu-sorry sana ako na sinampal kita, but I changed my mind, you pervert!"
