Not Too Late

CHAPTER 1

Dream or Not

💕 Aracelli Calderon

It’s crazy. No - this is crazy. Ito ang unang beses na nakaramdam ako ng ganito. Kahit sa ex-boyfriend ko ay hindi ko ito naramdaman. I'm so turned on that I feel like a wanton woman. I never felt so alive and naughty at the same time. His manly scent is so alluring and it is making me dizzy.

I want to feel more of him. I want him to roam his hands all over my body and never stop.

I couldn't help but gasped and moaned as I felt his lips kissed the valley of my breast. While his hands hike up from my legs to my buttocks and give it a gentle squeeze.

"Hmmn." I moaned as I slip my hands in his shirt. Feeling his abdomen. I felt him slightly shiver under my touch.

"Aracelli, Love." He moaned then kissed me. And it only encourages me more to roam my hands from his abdomen to his back. Feeling his constricting muscles overwhelmed me. He reaches both of my arms and stops me.

"Stop roaming your hands or I will take you right here, right now." He groaned against my lips.

"Take me then." I urge him, parting my lips inviting him to deepen the kissed, which he did. I feel so drunk and intoxicated.
He eagerly lifts me up not breaking the kiss while I encircle my legs around his waist. I then held his jaw slightly upward to dominate the kiss.

After some time I break the kiss and I was restless and panting, he, on the other hand, chase my lower lip giving it a gentle bite, showing me a naughty smile. I looked directly into his eyes. I touch his face trying to figure out what he is thinking. But I only felt lost in his deep gaze.

The next thing I knew, I was blinded by a light coming from the window. Kasabay ng tunog ng aking alarm clock. Mabigat man ang paghinga ay kinuha ko ang unan sa gilid ko at itinakip ko sa aking mukha.

It was just a dream. Sabi na nga ba, it was too passionate to be true. I don't even remember the guys face even though I remember looking directly into his eyes! Bumuntong hininga ako.

Kinapa ko ang cellphone ko sa beside table at tinignan ang oras.

6:00 AM

Mariin kong pinikit ang mata ko, trying to remember the man in my dream. Pero wala… wala akong maalala na kahit anong tungkol sakanya maliban sa mainit na tagpong pinagsaluhan namin. Muli akong nagpakawala ng buntong hininga.

After few more minutes nang pagmumuni-muni tumayo na ako to get ready for work. 8AM kasi ang bukas ng store ko until 8PM, but of course almost 10 na na-uubusan minsan ng tao kaya hindi rin naman ako nakakauwi agad.

Maybe that's the reason why I'm always alone, it’s because I'm always busy with work. Kaya wala na akong time to socialize with others. Well except meeting with friends once in a while as in sobrang bihira and they also have work and family to look out for.

Mostly each day of my life is only composed of... home - work - home - work. Yep! This is how my life works. And no wonder it’s dull, lonely and boring.

Pumasok na ako sa trabaho and I arrived at exactly 8AM, saktong nilagay ng isang staff ko ang OPEN sign sa pinto. I greeted everyone as soon as I enter the store. I talk to my manager tungkol sa bagong putaheng idadagdag sa menu.

Buong araw ginawa ko lang ang daily routine ko sa restaurant. Making sure that everything is in place and that we are operating smoothly.

I'm a graduate of BSMA. I also studied and graduated from a culinary school kaya naman tumutulong din ako sa kusina. We even have a signature chocolate cheesecake for dessert na ako lang ang gumagawa.
