Way Back Into Love

chapter eight

MARGAUX

A MORNING wind blows into my skin. Opening my eyes, seeing beautiful scenery is wonderful feeling to start a day but my smile vanish when I realize where am I right now.

I look around and observing my surroundings. This wooden bedroom walls, a glass open balcony, I know this is not the cottage I occupied. I look at myself wearing an over-size t-shirt, by sniffing the scent from it a scene flashed in my memory. The memory of last night sex in the beach with the man that is still stranger to but not with my body.

I hissed as I recall how I response on his kiss and touch. I leave the bed and walked out at the balcony.

When I arrived here the other day, I feel so relax. Pagkakatapak ko palang sa buhangin nang isla, naging kumportable na ang pakiramdam ko lalo na nang makilala ko si Theodora but last night my heart abnormally beats when I smell the familiar scent and when he start talking.

A wind blows and flied my hair backward. I decided to go back at the room when a splash of water caught my hearing. I look down and saw a back of a man that well-built. I gasp when seeing him wrapping with water.

Dalawang beses palang kaming nagkikita pero alam kong si Greg ito. Maybe I'm secretly observing and studying his body back at Paris, I questioned myself why I'm doing that but I don't know also, I can't find any answer for that.

Last night when he offered me that nonsense offer I was taken a back and shock. Sino bang siraulo ang magbabayad nang fifty thousand a day para lang sa sex? He's ended insane.

But my mind poke me, I still had a lot of money to sustain my status. May mga paparating pang projects for me. My Dad's business still on top, alam kong matutustusan pa nito ang pag-aaral ni Carlos until he finished and take over the company. My dad has an Engineering Firm.

I response to his kisses because I don't know what should I say about his proposal. Nagbalik ang diwa ko nang ma kumatok sa pinto.

I leave the view and open the door. A warm smile of a mid-forty woman showed.

"Miss Margaux, naabala po ba kita?" maypag-alala sa boses nito, nagtataka man dahil bakit nito alam ang pangalan ko, ay sinagot ko parin ito na may ngiti sa mga labi.

"It's okay po. Palabas narin naman po ako." I lied because she doesn't knock at all perhaps I'm still looking at the evil man at the pool.

"Mabuti naman po, halika na po at bumaba. Nagpahanda na ho si Sir Gregory nang agahan niyo." Anas nito.

Tumango naman ako at sinabing susunod na. I just need to fix myself. Wala akong mahagip na short man lang to wear buti nalang talaga at may kataasan ang t-shirt nang walanghiya kundi nakita na ni Manang Sita ang pang-ibaba ko. Yes, she told me her name. Sya at ang asawa nito ang care taker nang bahay bakasyonan na ito ni Gregory.

I just realize that I was in the third floor of this glass house. I was so amaze by the interior design and so is the exterior of this side of the house. Speechless when I reach the deck where the pool was built and looked up, I saw the balcony where I'm standing a while ago.

"I was wondering if I look good on that view over there." A baritone voice said.

I turn and saw a man only wearing trunks, showing of his well-built body while a water dropping from his wet hair.

I groan enough for me to hear when he took the towel and wipe it. Kinurot ko naman ang balat ko upang bumalik sa realidad. I don't want this man invade my fantasies anymore.

"So you were watching from the start." I said and walk at the prepared table.

"No, I've got a feeling that someone is watching me, seductively." And then he gives me that alluring smile.
