Unforgotten Love Affair

Chapter 25 His Promise

He cooked beef steak. As requested, it was indeed medium cooked. He also served mixed seafood steamed with Lemongrass and other spices.  I was the one making veggie salad.  There is choco mousse for dessert and homemade lemonade.
He is undeniably a good cook.  It's a first. Since we always have it thru room service or we'll just dine outside. Usually at fancy restaurant.
My mood is somehow elated this time. After I've seen our cousins being caught off-guard while doing groceries. And now... this superb food.  I can feel the fullness of my stomach already. We finished having dinner for almost two hours having conversation while enjoying the food.

Sobrang hot niya kanina while cooking.  He is still wearing his light blue button down shirt folded up to his elbows and a white apron with red lining. He is busy browsing while cutting some of the ingredients. I did not bother to ask kasi parang engrossed siya masyado sa mga pinag gagawa niya. He looked more damn hot while doing it. I even thought having a loose panty line then.  I'm starting to curse my hormones for reacting violently. I wanted to do dirty things with him during that time. I wanted him for dinner. Gosh! What's happening to me! I am such a pervert. Ugh!

"Babe, hey! Are you okay? Your spacing out again." He snapped at me.
"Nothing. Naninibago lang siguro ako. Sobrang busog ko kasi." Palusot ko sa kanya.
May inabot syang red wine. "Here, pampatunaw." Here he goes with his killer smile again.
"Ehhem. yeah sure!" I felt so uneasy. Di ko rin maintindihan sarili ko. I felt hot all off a sudden. I was looking for a ponytail. I wanted to tie up my hair. Then I realized di pa pala ako nakapagpalit. Paano ba naman. Kanina, para akong high schooler who keep on drooling him while cooking our food. Literally bang naglalaway ako? Shit!
I just finished with two wineglasses. Then excused myself cause I badly needed hot cold shower then. Habang sya ay busy kakalikot sa phone Nya with I don't know whom.
After taking a very cold shower, I felt somehow relieved. Sarap mag babad sa malamig na tubig. Feeling ko naliligo ako sa ulan.
The usual night routine. Brushing teeth, Applying a butter cream all over my body and moisturizer on my face. Tonight, I chose to wear a white cotton night dress. Loving the comfort of wearing it. When everything is done, I decided to check on Raphael downstairs. Ano kaya ang ginagawa nun.  Naghuhugas pa yun ng mga pinagkainan namin nung iniwan ko sya.
While stepping downstairs, I saw him seating on the enclined seat while watching TV. He is already in his white shirt and sweatpants. He looks so fresh and God knows how long can I hold back my desire not to touch him.
But I have to stick with my plan. Pretend not to be affected with his charm. And due to my bruised ego, I settled sitting on the sofa instead.
I realized he is watching late news now. Matagal na din ako Hindi nakapanood ng news. Hmm... might as well join him.
Nilingon niya ako. "Hey!"
I just smiled timidly at him. If you want to play games, I can do better than you think.
Not long after that, he already seated next to me. Ha! Akalain mo.  You're under my spell Raphael Marko. I smiled to myself.
I can feel his arms wrap around my body. He kissed my temple and my hair as if savoring my scent. "You smell so divine baby... Hmmm." I don't know long he stayed that way. I felt so loved.
His hands started to roam my arm, a lot of pressing on my waist. Parang nanggigigil sya. The other hand caressing my legs up to my thigh. I am losing my sanity with the sensation given to me with just his mere touch. "I might go crazy not touching you". He murmurs while showing me with light kisses while his hands are doing their own wonders. He shifted our position as we both lying on the sofa.
I felt so distracted. He is the one making me crazy! "Then why are you holding back?" I can't hide now my exasperation. He is acting really weird. I mean for almost a month now, he never touched me except with cuddle and kissing.
"It's not that baby, I just have to fulfill my promise." His eyes reflects so much desire for me.
"Promise?! What do you mean promise?"
"Your parents talk before the welcome party. They asked me if I could try myself not to go beyond the limit... You know." He explained.
"What? They told you that?! Like... seriously?" Nanalaki ang mga mata ko.  I am quite surprised my parents did that. Well, they have been so protective of me ever since I was a kid. I can't blame them, that's what real parents do.
"Yeah. I understand and I swear before them to respect you and behave like they wanted me to be. I don't want to disappoint them baby." He leaned more closer.
"I-I know." Gosh! Your stammering Sophia.
"But... kissing you like this is not among them." I felt his lips over mine. His breath is mixed with mint and wine. So addicting. With much anticipation, I responded to his kisses once again.

"I love you Raph." I gasp for some air.
"I love you more babe". Once again, we enjoyed a more passionate kiss. Our hearts beats as one. I never thought he could be this gentle lover.
