Alden Richard Faulkerson is a successful architect, the quintessential office hunk who breaks women's hearts because............. Surprise! He's gay. Nicomaine Dei Mendoza is the corporate IT Girl with a bad reputation but a good heart. The two ar...
Good morning my dears. Here's the much awaited continuation of the previous chapter's cliffhanger. I'm sure most of you are wondering if they kissed. I won't prolong the agony, read on.
Hope you enjoy this chapter, let me know what you think, ok? :)
"Have you ever kissed a girl, Alden?"
He swallowed, his eyes glued to her luscious lips. Her hand reached up to caress his chin, her thumb running over his finely shaped lips. Their hearts were beating erratically. Within an inch of movement, and her lips would be his.
"The rains stopped."
"Ha?"
"The rain.....listen, it's quieter now."
"Oh.............yeah."
She felt deflated. Was she really stupid enough to believe that Alden would be attracted to her, even just a little? But even if he was, her reputation probably turned him off. She backed away from him, her eyes absurdly filling with tears.
Gahhhhhh. I'm must be fucking hormonal. There's something about you Alden that makes me want you badly, enough to go beyond my boundaries.
A sob escaped her, making him look at her closely.
"Maine? Hey........"

His hand cups her face, the warmth of his palm feeling good on her cheek. She takes his hand and caresses the calluses on his palm, roughened by his workouts.
"Alden? Bakit ka naging bading? I mean......there's nothing wrong with being one. Pero, you seem like a nice guy, and shit, konti na lang ang katulad mo, nabawasan pa kasi naging bading ka........."
Her voice broke in the end, making him pull her close to wrap his arms around her.
"Tsk. Halika nga, grabe ka sakin."
He laughed, not at her but more because he was embarrassed and touched by her sweetness. This hot girl, who was the fantasy of every guy in their office, was wrapping her arms around him, snuggling against him. Surreal.
To touch a woman's body again, feel its warmth against his.........it wasn't so bad after all. It felt good......damn good. But it was dangerous too.
"Maine........you're a hopeless romantic. I'm not what you think I am. If you only know my secrets, you might be running away from me by now."
"Tell me. I promise I won't judge you."
"Not the right time. Basta, it's enough that you know you're safe with me. I won't take advantage of you."
"There's a part of me that wishes you would."
"Don't say that. Is that how you see yourself? As someone men will take advantage of?"
