Her Way Home

Chapter 10

I'll stopped in one condition." He said, he's on top of her. He gently removed some stray hair on her face and put them behind her ears.

She looked at him confusedly, because all of a sudden he became serious.

"Move in with me."

"Move in with you? Why?"

"I never felt so happy and contented all my life. I never laughed so hard, and you're the only person who can make me do that. And I want to sleep and wake up every morning with you."

"But its too fast."

"Does it matter, I want you. I care for you. Please say yes." He said softly. His eyes is begging her.

"Can I think about it for at least a day. I'll give you my answer this evening."

Tumayo ito at maingat siyang inalalayan patayo. "That's fine. Come let's take shower together."

"Damn." Hindi siya maka-concentrate sa ginagawa niya. She looked around her place madami ng nakakalat na papel sa sahig. Malapit ng maubos iyong sketched pad niya. At wala pa siyang nagagawang bagong design. Kanina pa naglalaro sa isip niya iyong pinagusapan nila ni Anton, about living in with him. Her minds been telling her it's too fast, but her heart been telling her it's all she's ever wanted. She wanted to call Carla but she's out of  town with Rick and she don't want to disturb them.

She stopped working, she need to breath fresh air so she can think properly. Binuksan niya ang bintana sa workroom niya and she let the fresh air in.

A heat spread all over her body, when she remembered what happened kanina bago sila umalis sa penthouse nito, She never thought she could be that wanton, he made love to her twice, first was in the bathroom and next one, in his bed. He's insatiable, if she will not used contraceptive pills, mabubuntis siya kaagad. But on the other side deep in her heart she wanted to bear him a child. But she don't want to trick him, he trusted her.

Hindi niya Alam kung saan patutungo ang madaliang relasyon nila. Lalo na at one sided lang iyon. She love him so much and maybe for him it's just purely lust. She smiled sadly, she should expect it and accept the fact ngayon pa lang. So when it's time for him to leave, she's ready. It will be less painful. Kasi hindi siya masyadong umasa.

And if ever that will happen, she wanted to have a child with him. Kaya naman niyang buhayin ang anak niya ng magisa. At balak na niyang hindi na magasawa.

So she finally decided to move in with him. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Saka na niya iindahin ang consequences nitong gagawin niya, when it's over. She took s deep breath and made a final decision.

Isang katok sa pinto niya ang nagpatigil sa mga daloy ng iniisp niya. Sumilip doon si Claire, her sales manager. Mukhang kilig na kilig ito.

"Ellie, may bisita ka. Pinatuloy ko sa office mo."

"New client?"

"Maybe, oh my gosh he's so handsome Ellie. He kinda looked familiar. Parang nakita ko na siya somewhere. Pagpasok nga niya kanina sa boutique natin literal na napako lahat ang tingin namin sa kanya. Kahit iyong mga customer natin they were all mesmerized.

Suddenly, she felt nervous. She looked at her watch. It's just 3pm in the afternoon. it's impossible, it couldn't be him. "Did you asked for his name?"

Claire bite her lips. "I'm sorry Ellie, I forgot. Eh kasi naman nataranta na ako. Sige na puntahan mo na. Baka importating client natin iyon."

"Okay, paki sabi na papunta na ako."

Habang papalapit siya sa office niya ay hindi parin tumitigil ang puso niya sa malakas na pagtibok niyon. As if her heart knew who's her visitor. She composed herself. She quickly check herself, if she's presentable enough.

She slowly open the door and she was paralyzed for a moment, because she saw Anton staring at their picture that hang on her wall, the one that Carla took. He immediately sense her presence.

Before he reach her, she immediately close the door. He pressed his hard on the door and gave her a ravishing kiss.

"What are you doing here?" She said breathlessly.

"Walang masyadong work sa office, and I missed you." He murmured in ear. She bit her lip to suppress her moan.

He chuckled, when he saw her reaction. He gently kissed her temple. Habang nakayap pa rin ito sa kanya.

"Did you miss me too?" He looked at her teasingly.

She blushed. "Yes, actually wala akong nagawang trabaho." She pout her lips while she played with his necktie.

"Me too sweetheart, sa meeting ko kanina wala rin akong masyadong naintindihan. My mind is filled with the things we did this morning." His eyes were teasing her.

Muli itong tumingin sa picture nila na nakasabit say wall niya. "I want one like this in my office." Bulong nito buhat sa likod niya.

"My friend Carla, the one who's with me in the exhibit took that picture. Pina blow up ko because..." She quickly think of an alibi. "Because I like the painting."

"Be honest sweetheart..." She can feel his kisses on her hair while he tighten his embrace. "I knew you like me too."

She lean her head on his hard chest.
She bit her lips. "Can I deny the obvious?"

"No."

Humarap siya dito, she looked straight in his eyes. "I like you, from the moment I first I saw you in the exhibit."

"I knew it." He said happily. "Well I saw your magazine collection, you secretly fantasizing me ha?"

"If I said no, will you believe me." She said.

"No!" He chuckled. "Since we parted this morning I'm so anxious to know your answer."

"Yes, I'll be moving in with you."

"Really? Yes!" He happily raised his fist into the air. "I promise, I'll do my best to make it work. As long as will be honest with each other."

She nod happily. "I'll promise to make you happy." And I'll do my best to make you love me.

Bago sila umalis ay ipinakilala niya si Anton sa mga staff niya. They literary swoon over him. And she can't blame them. She was touched by his gesture, because he never hide his affections, he never let go of her hand or her waist. Kahit sa harap ng mga empleyado niya, she can feel their stares behind her back.

"Everyone here is mesmerized by your charm. Mukhang mga fan mo ang mga clients ko, even my staff can't stop ogling at you."

His eyes were smiling at her. "I have my eyes only for you sweetheart."

"Come on, show me around your boutique."
