Her Way Home

Chapter 7

Will you take a chance on me?" He said with his eyes looks serious and sincere.

"What?" Did he heard him right? 

"I know you heard me."

"Why me?"

"And why not you?" He asked her back.

"For so many reasons, you want me to innumerate them for you?" Pero deep inside her heart is rejoicing.

"I don't care, when I first saw you, I already like you. Simula noon hindi na kita nakalimutan, So I have you investigated.  We should have meet earlier, but things happened the day I will supposed to visit  you, I need to fly back to Italy dahil nagkaroon ng major problem iyong bagong hotel ipinapagawa ko doon, and it needs my immediate supervision. And for the past few months , you gave me so many sleepless nights. When my plane landed in the airport, I instructed my chauffeur to drive me straight to your house, but Uel called me.... And the rest is history."

"I give you time to think about it. I'm not rushing you or anything." He said for while.

"Yes." 

"You agreeing already?" She saw how his face lit up, he surely doesn't expected her quick response.

She just simply nod.. She's too happy that she couldn't think of anything to say, she just follow her heart and to her surprise. He lifted​ her up and he turns her around na para bang kasing gaan lang siya ng bulak.

"Can we sealed this with a kiss?" He said.

Of course yes! Her inner voice said. Then suddenly she remembers that this will be her first kiss.

It's as if he read her mind. "Is this your first kissed?"

Her face flushed, she looked down to avoid his gaze. She said softly. "I'm just a little embarrassed because in my 29 years of existence in this world, ngayon lang ako mahahalikan. I'm too naive I'm sorry."

He gently raised her chin, he bend down a little. "Don't be, I'm honored that I'm your first in everything."

Slowly he leaned down, closer and closer and she can smell his breath, their eyes locked​ with each other, she just closed her eyes and wait for his first move. When she felt his lips gently kissing her, automatically envelopes her arms in his neck and tiptoe, while she follows every movement of his experienced lips. She just felt his strong arms embracing her tightly. A moan escape from the two of them, when they have to stopped to catch their breath.

It feels heavenly, is this what first kiss feels like. And then she was mesmerized again by the beautiful fireworks display.

"Did you know anything about this?"

Tumingala siya dito, nakasandal siya dito, habang yakap siya nito buhat sa likod.

"Nope." She can feel him kissing her hair softly, "Well I  want to give my thank to whoever is behind this."

She just smile softly and together they watch the beautiful scenery in the sky.
When they go  back, the sorrounding were already cleaned, wala na iyong pinagkainan nila kanina. They decided to finished the wine bottle while they reminisce their past, they both got wasted, lalo na siya. She never laughed so hard, surprisingly Anton has a good sense of humor. And everything from there went blur.

She can't quite remember kung nasaan na sila. She just felt the soft matress, when he carefully lay her on the bed, while they were exchanging passionate kisses and their hands were all over each other. She felt like she's burning, and she tremble when she felt his hands on her breast.

"Sweetheart, tell me to stop." He whispered softly in her ears, a soft moan escape from her mouth, when he lips travel down her neck. That moment she can't think of anything.  She wet down there, she's so aroused that all she want right now is him, to be inside her. If she's going to lose her virginity, she'll gladly offer it to him.

She can feel the hardness of his manhood  press on the lower part of her body, when she embraced him tightly. At inihanda niya ang sarili sa mangyayari.

After that she can't vividly remember what happened next.

When she woke up the next morning, she's naked and her body felt sore. Napangiwi siya ng dahan dahan siyang umupo, itinapi niya ang kamot sa katawan niya. She felt nervous ng gumalaw si Anton. Ang akala niya at tuluyan itong magigising. Thankfully, he didn't.

She need to get out of here bago ito magising. Wala siyang mukhang maihaharap dito. After this baka isinip nito na wala siyang pinagkaiba sa mga naging babae nito. Bigla tuloy bumaba ang tingin niya sa sarili niya ng mga sandaling iyon.

Mabilis siyang nagbihis. It's already 5 in the morning. Before she leave, her eyes lingered one last time to the man she surrender her body, her heart even her soul last night, he's still  sleeping peacefully in his bed. Mas mabuti siguro na itigil na niya and ilusyon niya dito habang maaga pa, they both live in different worlds. And she knew it wouldn't work. Now he gets what he wants from her, he will discharged her like a used clothes.

She need to get out of here.

Kung puwede lang hindi siya dumalo, but she has to endure seeing him hangang sa matapos ang kasal.

Bago siya umalis sa mansion ay nakita pa niya si Uel na nagkakape. She's thankful he didn't ask her anything.

Pagdating niya kila Kate ay hindi siya nakaligtas sa paguusisa ni Lizbeth. She told them what happened at masaya iyong dalawa para sa kanya.

They both know her feeling towards him.

"Kate, after the wedding uuwi na agad ako sa Manila." Paalam niya dito.

"Why? Dahil ba Kay Anton?"

"Yes."

"Bakit hindi ninyo pagusapan ang nangyari sa inyong dalawa?"

"I honestly don't know Kate. Basta gusto ko lang muna na makalayo sa kanya, maybe to think. I'll be staying with Carla, he know my house and my boutique address, he got me invesgated. At pahapyaw niyang ikinuwento dito ang unang beses niyang nakita si Anton.

"I think he likes you."

"You think so?" Her voice is full of uncertainty, "I'm scared, baka isipin niya na easy to get akong babae na wala akong pinagkaiba sa mga naging babae niya." Mahinang bulong niya.

"Of course your not like them, don't think poorly of yourself. You're beautiful, smart and kindest person I know, if he let you go, it's his lost."

Pagkatapos ng kasal ay saka lang siya nakahinga ng maluwag. Kanina pa siya hindi mapakali dahil sa malalagkit na tingin ni Anton sa kanya, she's blushed when she remembered what happened last night. Kahit mainit ay sinuot niya pa rin iyon pinahiram ni Kate sa kanya na brown turtle neck blouse to hide the love marks, she saw them kanina when she take a bath and to her horror hindi lang Isa o dalawa ang nandoon, she saw 5 kissed mark,   she just paired it with a simple black skirt.

During the duration of the wedding his eyes never left her. Nang unang magtama ang paningin nila, his  eyes were questioning her, Alam niyang gusto siyang kausapin nito, Kaya dapat habang busy itong kausap si Uel, ay samantalahin niya ang pagkakataon na makaalis.

Sinamahan siya ng kapatid ni Kate habang nagaantay ng bus, mabuti na lang at may dumaan agad na air-conditioned bus pa Manila. Sabi ni Romel ay 8 oras ang haba biyahe niya. And it's fine makakapag pahinga siya ng maayos.

"Have you seen  Ellysee?" He asked Kate. Kanina pa niya hinahanap ito.

He wanted to talked to her, and asked her why she leave this morning without waking him. He felt incomplete and lost when he woke up and find an empty bed. Kanina pinigilan niya ang sarili niyang puntahan ito sa bahay nina Kate.

"She already left Anton kanina pa, pinahatid ko nga kay Romel sa sakayan."

"What?" Hindi niya inaasahan iyon. Why did she left without saying goodbye??? No, no, no, this could not be happening.
