The CEO's Woman

Chapter 7

Breakfast was thankfully peaceful.

Nagustuhan niya lahay ng inilagay ni Andrew sa kanyang plato.

Nagreklamo pa siya dahil ang dami nitong inilagay na talagang ipinaubos nito sakanya.

“So gaano ka na katagal dito?”
“It’s my 10th day today.”

“Magdadalawang linggo ka na pala dito. So ano nang nagawa mo?”

“Nakakahiya man pero wala pa. All I did was to eat, sleep, sun bathe, go to the spa and read a book from the veranda of my room.”

“What? So kung wala ako yun lang ang gagawin mo buong buwan?”

“May masama ba doon?”

“Wala, but maraming maiooffer ang Safe Haven para maenjoy at masulit mo ang stay mo dito.”

“So what, you turned to be the resort’s endorser know.”

Nangingiting umiling ito. “Let me be your guide here then.”

“Hindi ba–“

“Kaya nga ako na ang nag offer sa’yo diba? Kaysa naman sa mga di siguradong tao ka pa mapasama makapatay pa ako.” Anito na may ibinulong pa na hindi na niya narinig.

“Ano yun?”

“Sabi ko, dumikit ka lang sa akin and I’ll help you enjoy your vacation.”

“Ano namang makukuha mo sa pagsama sa akin?”

“Oh, Gabby more than you’ll ever know.”

Napakunot ang noo niya at magtatanong pa sana nang tumayo na ito at dinampot ang bag niya saka siya hinila na palabas ng hotel and towards a waiting boat.

“First thing you should do in El Nido, Island hopping. So come on and hop in.” Anito na yumukod pa at inilahad ang kamay para alalayan siyang makasakay sa bangka.

Ilang sandali pa’y nasa gitna na sila ng dagat at palipat lipat na sa mga naggagandahang kalapit na isla ng resort.

Sa dami ng Islang pinuntahan nila, wala ata siyang mapiling pinaka-gusto niya because they are all beautiful and each island always have a different thing to offer parang yung Helicopter Island na may underwater tunnel and reefs and here's Matinloc Island na may secret beach which is a pocket of a white sand beach in a corner of a sinkhole which unfortunately e hindi accessible sa mga bangka marami pa kaming napuntahang mga isla at lagoons na inabot na kami ng hapon.

Nakakapagod pero sobrang worth it! Tinatawanan pa nga ako ni Andrew sa itsura ko daw na manghang mangha na parang batang binilhan ng bagong damit.

Inihatid ako ni Andrew hanggang sabtapat ng tinutuluyan kong kwarto.

“So, hihintayin kita sa baba?”

“Uhm. Bakit?”

“Magdidinner. Lunch na yung huling kain natin kailangan mong kumain bago matulog.”

“Okay. Maliligo at magbibihis muna ako.”

“I’ll see you in an hour.” Anito and then I saw his head dipping ang involuntarily, my eyes closed and few seconds later, she felt something warm in her forehead. ‘Forehead lang?’ giit ng maharot niyang isip.
Ngumiti nalang siya at pumasok na at dumeretcho sa banyo.
Habang hinihintay ang tub na mapuno ay namili nalang siya ng isusuot saktong pagbalik niya’y nangalahati na ito kaya lumusong na siya.

She moaned when she felt the delicious feel of the warm water and the aroma of the lavender in her body after a whole day of island hopping. She savor the feeling for almost 20 minutes kaya naman bago pa siya makatulog at aksidenteng malunod ang sarili nagbanlaw na siya. Nagpatuyo ng buhok, nagsepilyo at ginawa ang kaniyang facial routine.

She felt good when she went out and was about to change when she saw the bed inviting her napakagat labi siya. She look at her watch and she still has 30 minutes.

“10 minutes lang. Promise.” Aniya at humiga na.

Hindi niya namalayan ang 10 minutes ay naging 20 minutes hangang naging oras na.

Napabalikwas siya ng bangon.
“I am so late!” aniya saka napatingin sa bintana at nakitang maliwanag na and when she looked at the time, 6:15 na ng umaga!

Napatampal nalang siya sa kanyang noo.

Nakarinig siya katok mula sa labas. It must be the housekeeping. Aniya sa sarili saka disoriented paring naglakad at binuksan ang pinto. But the one on the door is no house keeping. It is the smiling face of Andrew na agad na nalukot ang mukha ng mapagmasdan siya.

“Damn! Is that how you always open your door for someone?” anito sa tila nagpipigil ng galit na boses.

Wala sa sariling napatingin siya sa sarili saka naintindihan ang galit nito napatili siya at patakbong tinungo ang kwarto leaving Andrew there. Paano ba naman, her robe was already loosely tied at kalahati na ng dibdib niya ang nakalantad. What’s worse ay wala siyang kahit anong panloob dahil magbibihis palang naman dapat siya kagabi nang makatulog. That was so embarrassing!

Nagtungo nalang siya sa banyo to have quick shower so quick na wala pa atang limang minuto ay nakabihis na rin siya.

Hinihingal pa siyang humarap dito pagkasara ng pinto ng silid. He was pacing back and fort in her receiving area and stopped when he saw her.

Seryoso ang mukha nito at matiim na pinagmamasdan siya.

“I’m sorry.” Aniya na wala sa sariling napakagat ng labi.

His eyes sparkled in an unkown emotion. “What are you sorry for exactly?” he asked in a husky voice.

She pouted. At bigla itong napapikit ng mariin and when he opened his eyes, she can see his clear brown eyes darkened in—desire?

Humakbang ito palapit sakanya. His stare froze her in her place.

“Are you sorry because you slept on me last night?” he said still stepping slowly towards me not breaking eye contact.

“Or because you opened your door in a most unconventional way?”

“Or because of what you did just now.” He said as he take his last step. He is now looking down in front of me.

Kumunot ang noo niya. “A-ano na naman ang n-nagawa ko?”

“Or the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing to me?”

“What am I doing to you?” I said getting confused by the passing minute.

“This is what you do to me.” And before I could say anything, he already pinned me by the door his other arm on my waist pulling me closer and his other hand holding my hands above my head and his lips pressed on mine kissing me roughly making me high.
