Sometimes you need to know your place in someone else's life because you might get hurt if you expect too much...

[Fia's POV]

"DOWN, Fia. What are you waiting for?" Kayden ordered firmly while his eyes were on me.

I swallowed hard and nodded but good heavens, I couldn't find my own hands to unbuckle my own seat belt. Kayden didn't say something nang pumasok na ako kanina sa sasakyan. I wasn't able to utter a single word too. Natetensiyon ako. Did he feel it, too? O ako lang talaga ang apektado?

I heard him heave a sigh then he leaned towards me to help me with my seatbelt. I almost gasped for air. Boy, but he really smelled so good and so nice and so deliciously clean. I wasn't even aware that I was holding my breath while my lips were inches away from his neck.

"There. Bumaba kana," he said pero hindi parin ako gumalaw.

"You can smell me for as long as you like later, Fia. But right now you need you to move," he added with a soft chuckle saka napatuwid ng upo.

"Pa-no ako gagalaw... eh nakaharang ka pa?" Thank God I found my tongue. "Tsaka ikaw pa ba ang aamuyin ko? Dito ko trip ang pabango mo, no!" I equipped defensively but he just laughed at me.

"Halika na, babe. Lumalaki lalo ang butas ng ilong mo kapag nagsisinungaling ka."

Before I could rant at him, nakalabas na siya.

Ugh. He will always be Kayden. Kayden is Kayden. I should have to remind myself of that. AT. ALL. TIMES.

Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng sasakyan saka siya sinundan papasok sa...teka..teka.. akala ko sa bahay nila ang handaan? Why the hell was he inside a signature ladies boutique?

Hindi ko maiwasang mapaismid. Huwag niyang sabihing bibili siya ng damit ng isa sa mga babae niya? Tapos, dadaan pa kami at susunduin ang bruhildang babaeng 'yon? Tapos, palilipatin niya ako sa likod ng sasakyan at gagawing third wheel? Hayop siya!

I squeaked out for a while at gigil na napalakad papasok ng boutique. Kayden was already talking to a pretty sales lady when I came in, and the sales lady was listening to him attentively too, ang landi pa ng ngiti. She seems to know him. Then, they averted both of their attention on me. The girl gave me a once over na hindi ko napigilang taasan ng kilay while Kayden was saying something on her habang nakatitig sa'kin.

Hindi na ako nakatiis at nilapitan silang dalawa.

"Bakit?" I raised a brow at the girl habang nakapamewang. How dare she give me a once over.

But before the girl could utter her answer, I felt a hand envelope my waist. "Easy, babe. Sinasabi ko lang sa kanya kung anong klaseng damit ang gusto kong suotin mo. It's not what you think," Kayden said in an almost suppressed playful tone then he pressed his hand even harder on my side and kissed my temple. "Come and go with her, I'll just make phone calls." Then he turned his back and fished out his phone from his pocket as if nothing happened while I was having a hard time catching my breath. I almost felt like my heart was in my throat. How dare he kiss and touch like that?!

"This way po, Ma'am," said the sales lady to me with her almost perfect plastic smile.

I wanted to say something filthy and I wanted to curse at him but my tongue had literally been paralyzed. Kahit ayaw ko ay sumunod nalang ako sa babae at sinukat ang mga damit na pinili niya.

May tatlong damit na inabot sa'kin ang sales lady. Nanlalaki ang mga matang sinipat sipat ko iyon bago inis na dinala sa dressing room. Ano bang plano ng lalaking iyon? Pagsimbahin ako sa birthday niya? Lahat ng damit na gusto niyang ipasuot eh hanggang siko ang manggas at sobra sa tuhod ang haba. Though the dresses fit prefectly and the fabric were really good, balot na balot naman ang katawan ko.
