"My Ex Husband Is My Boss"(SELF-PUBLISHED)

Chapter 21

Irine misses her mom so much. It has been months since she passed away. Dahil nga sa sobrang pagka-miss niya sa kaniyang ina ay lagi niyang binibisita ang puntod nito tuwing weekend. Buti na lang at laging nandiyan si Daine para samahan siya, pakiramdam niya kasi ay malulunod na naman siya sa sobrang lungkot kapag binibisita niya ito nang mag-isa. Pero sa kabila noon, pinipilit pa rin ni Irine na maging okay sa bawat araw na nagdadaan.

"Good morning," Daine whispered as he hugged her from the back. Nasa kusina lang silang dalawa habang nagluluto siya ng kanilang almusal. Bumalik na nga pala sila sa dating bahay nila kasama si Danica, ayaw man sana ni Irine na lumipat, kaya lang... mas lalo siyang nakakaramdam ng lungkot sa dating tirahan; lagi niya kasing naaalala roon ang namayapang ina. "By the way, are you planning to sell your old house?" Daine asked her.

"No... I'm not going to sell it," tipid na tugon niya.

"Can we now reveal to others the real score of our relationship? Since it has been a month now." Dahil sa narinig ni Irine kaya naman agad niyang hinarap si Daine. Hanggang ngayon kasi ay wala pa ring nakakaalam na nagkabalikan na silang dalawa.

"Daine... I'm not ready to tell them yet. I'm sorry, hindi pa kasi ako handa sa iisipin ng iba kapag nalaman nila. Baka magulat s—"

"Can you not please don't think of what others might think about you? Just think of me and you and Danica."

"Maybe next time. I hope you still understand."

"Okay. If you say so."

Daine's eyes flash as he lowers his head, capturing her lips with his. Daine kisses her from her forehead down to her nose and her lips. It was a steamy and hot-mouthed kiss Daine had given to her.

His hands are all over her now, and she kiss him back, dizzily, and deeply. She wrapped her hands around his neck and the kiss deepens. Napaungol si Irine habang humahagod ang labi ni Daine sa labi niya. Naramdaman niya pa ang pagdapo ng mga palad ni Daine sa kaniyang pang-upo kasabay nang paghila nito sa kaniya upang mas mapalapit siya rito. Irine grind back helplessly.

"I could kiss you forever, Irine."

"You should then."

Daine's lips trail from her mouth along her jaw, then up to her ear. "I can't get enough of you, Irine. I never feel tired of kissing you."

Tangling her fingers in his hair, she drags his lips back to hers. Napabuntong-hininga siya habang ang dulong daliri ni Daine ay nagsisimula nang maglakbay sa kaniyang nipple na natatabunan lang ng munting tela mula sa suot niyang damit. Irine gasped as his mouth blazed a fiery trail down her neck.

"W-wait, Daine. Danica might see us if she wakes up." Pinilit ni Irine na sabihin 'yun kay Daine sa takot na baka magising na ang natutulog nilang anak at makita sila sa ganoong posisyon.

Daine pauses, pressing his forehead against hers, eyes closed. "Fine. Let's stop this for now." Isang munting halik pa ang iginawad ni Daine sa labi niya, mas mabagal, mas malambot, bago ito tuluyang humiwalay .

"I'll see you in the office then."

"Hindi ka ba muna mag-aalmusal?"

"Hindi na. Take care of yourself and our angel, okay?

After taking Danica to school, Irine went to the office. She was panting as she went to her desk and saw Daine's brows arched as he looked at her.

She bowed her head and sat down. Irine checked all the schedules that Daine had for that day, but she couldn't help but frown when everything was gone; all the files about his schedule were gone.

Sa sobrang pagtataka ay ginalaw niyang muli ang mouse ng kanyang computer at chineck pa ang ibang mga folder and files, pero wala pa rin siyang nakita. Sa pagkakatanda niya ay may mga files pa siya na dapat asikasuhin.
