Stonehearts 3: Aquamarine

Eight

May mga instructions pa sila daddy kila Karen at kila Brinx kaya nauna na akong umalis sa conference room. I have to meet Ate Amy and Kuya Cube today. Akala ko nga tuloy na tuloy na si Ate sa US, something came up daw pero saka na lang daw nila sasabihin sa akin once they see me personally. Minabuti ko na rin silang kitain since I have to thank Kuya Cube rin for granting my requests. Hindi nga siya nagpabayad sa akin kahit na sa akin nagrereport ang ilan sa mga engineer at architects niya.

I was busy texting ng may biglang humila sa kamay ko. Everything happened way too fast. Napansin ko na lang nasa loob na ako ng ladies room and Brinx is with me.

Ni-lock niya yung pinto bago siya napahilamos sa mukha niya. I creased my eyebrow at him completely ignoring my raging heart. Why did he drag me here? Kaming dalawa lang ang andito. Bakit niya ba ako hinatak dito?

Nakatalikod pa rin siya sa akin habang bumubulong. It was inaudible. I leaned on the sink beside while I continue gaping at him. Neither of us is making a move. The awkward atmosphere inside the powder room heavily caving in.

"Brinx-" My mouth automatically shut on its own when he turned hastily around to face me. He was red on the face. Walang duda, nagagalit siya. I should know, I dated him for two years and seven months.

"Why are you dressed like that? Bakit ganyan ang itsura mo?" Inis na tugon niya habang nakapamewang sa harap ko. Hindi niya ba nagustuhan? Para sa kanya kaya 'to.

I rolled my eyes at him before I crossed my arms. "What do you mean by that?" I said as I arched one brow up.

Itinuro niya ang buong ako before he answered in exasperation. "Like that! Your skirt is too short, you're showing too much of your legs! That damn engineer of yours can't stop leering over you. Kulang na lang magpa-mop na ako dahil binabaha na tayo ng laway niya! At yang make-up mo! Masyadong-masyado-..." Then his voice trailed off.

I grinned at him, nawala ang galit sa mukha niya saka siya nag-iwas ng tingin. "Masyadong ano Brinx?" I asked, enjoying the shy look on his face.

He was looking at his right, murmuring something I didn't catch. I chuckled, making him stare back at me. I grabbed him by his suit coat before I pulled him closer to me.

I saw him suppressing his breathing, pero hindi na niya inalis ang pagtitig niya ng diretso sa mata ko. "Too what Brinx?" I again asked.

His hands landed on my waist as he scooted to close in the tiny space between us. "Too beautiful.. I'm angry because you're not mine anymore at wala akong karapatang ipagdamot ka." He whispered, resting his forehead on mine.

My heart beating like crazy, pounding hard on my eear drums. Q, don't fall for his words. You did it once and where did that lead you?

"Rina.." He said in a manner my heart and my mind cannot comprehend. His breath brushing onto my face slurring my perfect thinking.

"Just shut up and kiss me Mr. Bardoquillo." I commanded. He smirked the lopsided way before he consumed my lips.

The kiss went deeper and hungrier. We never kissed like this before. Torrid, bold, rough. Brinx was really strict to himself when it comes to respecting me. He never forced me to do something I am not ready for before.

I snaked my arms on his neck before a moan escaped my mouth. "Hmm." I whimper, grabbing a fistful of his hair. He grabbed me by the ass saka niya ako inupo sa lababo. I instinctively girded my legs on his waist.

I bit his lip, yanking it downwards. He growled, our husky breathing becoming louder, clouding the four walls of the restroom. "Rina, we need to stop or I'll bring you inside my office." He said in a coarse voice. His eyes dilating with lust.

I smiled foolishy at him. It didn't take him a moment before he mirrored my expression. "What happened to my sweet, childish, and innocent Rina?" He asked in a playful tone.

I started to draw crazy lines on his chest just to forget how nervous I was because of our position. Nilason ng halik niya ang tama kong pag-iisip. I keep telling myself that I can do this, I can manipulate him pero parang bumibigay ang tuhod ko sa kanya.

"Well, she's gone. Don't you like to have me instead?" I answered.

He stooped down, his lovely, olive eyes extracting the sanity out of me. He looks so damn serious. Ung kaba ko nararamdaman ko na sa ulo ko. Ano bang iniisip mo? "Rina.."

"It's Q." STOP CALLING ME RINA!

"No, it's Rina. You are my Rina." He muttered firmly.

"Then I dare you to make me remember who she was Brinx. Hit me with all you got."

He smirked before he stole one swift kiss on my lips. "I will love you with all I got Q. I'll love you so hard until my carefree Rina resurfaces on that tough front you're pulling."

I almost lost my entire cool. He was smiling but his voice was so sharp, it cut through me. It sounded almost like a threat. Pero hindi ako susuko, I won't give in to him.

"Yeah? Then I wish you the best of luck Mr. Brinx Antheros Bardoquillo. Good luck finding the woman who died a long time ago." I answered with the same confidence as him.

Hindi ako papatalo sa iyo Brinx. Ikaw ang uuwing luhaan at hindi na ako.
