THE MAN I LOVE. "Completed" MAYWARD

chapter 9

"How could you be so heartless?" He hissed. Their faces almost a millimeter away. At halos mapaso ang dalaga sa matinding galit na nagmumula sa mga mata nito. But there was something else. His hard breathing was fanning her face, making the hair in her nape stood. His breath was as fresh as sunshine and the masculine scent she sniffed from him seemed to drown her spirit.
   She needed to fight his enigmatic effect on her to stand her ground. At Hindi siya dapat makaramdam ng ganito  sa lalaki. He looked as if he cared much for the person she hated and cursed. And therefore, she was her enemy!
    Marydale tilted her head." Why, you're  talking as if my father was the greatest in the world and that I'm  the worst daughter." Ang galit at pagdaramdam sa kanyang dibdib para sa ama ay mistulang biking sa lalamunan niya that she struggledvto speak. "Your father doesn't  deserve this cruelty from you. Sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay kapakanan mo ang iniisip nya" " oh, I can see what a great father he was!" She cut him in mid- sentence.
    "Ikaw ang pinakawalang - kuwentang anak na nakilala ko." Mahina ngunit malinaw na umabot sa pandinig ni marydale ang sinabi nito. Nagpanting ang kanyang tainga sa narinig. "Hindi mo alam ang puno't dulo ng lahat kaya wala lang karapatang husgahan ako!" She was raging with wrath.
    Nakita niyang sandali  iyong natigilan. Hindi ito umimik at tahimik na pinakatitigan ang kanyang mukha.  Bigla siyang  na conscious. From very angry, now she was uncomfortable under his probing eyes. And God, she did not know what other kind of emotion he could instantly pull from her. That scared her most.
   His gaze roamed around her pretty face. Bang bumaba ang paningin nito sa kanyang mga labi at tumagal doon, pakiramdam niya ay biglang nanuyo ang kanyang lalamunan. Unconsciously, she licked her drying lips habang malakas ang tahip  ng kanyang dibdib.
    "Don't do that again, marydale. You're driving me crazy," his whispered in a horse voice, his eyes not leaving her now moist lips.
     She could not believe her own ears. Ngunit mistulang musikang umabot sa kanyang pandinig ang sinabi nito. He whispered her name in a way like it was the sweetest  name in the world. Mas lalong lumakas ang kabog ng kanyang dibdib at pakiramdam niya ay nalalasing siya sa Bangor ng hininga nito. Their faces were so closed that they were almost sharing breathing!
    I'm glad you went home," anito. Namumungay na ang mga mata ng dalaga at kanina pa niya inaasam na lumapat ang mga labi nito sa kanya. They were almost kissing sa lapit ng mga mukha nila. Kanina pa niya nilalabanan ang urge na ipikit ang mga mata at pagdikitin ang kanilang mga labi. The mere thought of its excited her. Pakiramdam niya ay lihim na nanginig ang kanyang pagkatao sa naisip.
   " your father will be the happiest man in the world." Napangiwi si marydale sa ideyang iyon. Surely, she did not come home to please her father. Much more, give him happiness. Umuwi siya para tuklasin ang katotohanan sa sinabi ng kanyang tita lerma..... Kahit alam niyang maaaring sine set up lang siya ng tiyahinm upang umuwi.
     "My father's happiness is the last thing I wish," she said bitterly. Mula ay nabuhay ang galit sa kanyang dibdib.
    She moved her head. Her intention was to spat him bitter words at pakawalan ang sarili mula rito. Ngunit sa ginawa niya, lumapat ang kanyang mga labi sa main it na labi ng lalaki.
