Falling For Him ☑️

Chapter Twelve

She was disoriented when she opened her eyes. The dim light on the nightstand was the only soft glow that lightens the spacious room. It wasn't familiar to her. She was about to panic and tried to catch her breath when she felt something moved beside her. Then, two strong arms enveloped her upper body.

She was unable to breath after remembering she came with Anton in his mansion here in one of the exclusive subdivision in Bacolod. He bought it a year ago after investing in some real estate business in the city and signing his partnership with one of the largest BPO Company in the city as well.

"Goodmorning, cara." He softly whispered while kissing her temple. She was immobile for five seconds before reacting.

"Goodmorning... Anton, I can't breathe..." she was stammering. "Please, let me go." She softly protested trying to loosen his embrace.

"Just five minutes of cuddling, cara and I'll be good." He murmured while looking at her face. She was conscious but deep in her heart something was going on. She was wishing he would look at her like that every morning. But she pushed that idea away. That was one of a hell of wishful thinking.

She liked the adoration in his eyes. He was looking at her with the emotion in his hazel eyes she couldn't name. There was elation in her heart but she didn't want to give in in the longing of her heart and soul. To be loved by the person who owns your heart!

"It would really be a joy waking up in the morning and having you in my arms like this, sweetheart. Kissing you like this, cara..." He whispered again and kissed her left cheek again. Nagulat man siya sa ginawa ni Anton but she couldn't react. She knew she was blushing as hell. Mabuti nalang at hindi masyadong maliwanag and silid and the curtains were blocking the sunlight from the outside.

Di ba dapat nagri-react na siya? Bakit parang wala siyang maisip. She was in panic. Gusto niyang pakawalan siya nito but a part of her was rejoicing she was in her arms. She was going crazy. At bakit ba siya pumayag na sumama at matulog sa bahay ng lalaki at sa mismong kama pa nito. Hindi ito gawain ng matino at disenteng babae. This was not her! But hell! Kung malalaman ito ng mga nakakakilala sa kanya ay hindi ang mga ito maniniwala. She was known to be Miss Sensible and Miss Prim and Proper.

"I really like it when you don't fight me anymore, cara." He said then kissed her left cheek again and drew her even to his body. She could feel his body heat and that was making her to panic again. Hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin. Her body suddenly felt languid and was in tune with his. But she could not let him continue his little advances.

"I am not your cara or sweetheart, Luis." She said and pushed him a little to have a little space between their bodies. But Anton Luis didn't let her. "Please..." she pleaded.

"Please, what sweetheart?" he asked with the wicked grin in his face. He even drew his head closer to her face. She was mesmerized with his beautiful eyes. There was excitement but with hesitation. She didn't want to get burnt and in the end she would just cry. Takot siyang sumugal pero bakit kung si Anton Luis ang nasa harap niya ay parang nawawala na ang mga agam-agam. Suddenly, she wanted to experience romance and she was enjoying this courtship, if you could call it courtship then.

"Please, what cara?" he asked again with playful grin on his face which was an inch away from her face. She knew she was teasing her.

"I need to get up. I have to go home." Sagot niya na pilit nang bumangon. Pinayagan naman siya nga binata para may nakakalokong ngiti pa rin sa mga labi nito. His eyes smiled in mischief at natataranta siya sa kung ano ang iniisip nito. She stood up and tried to fix her hair and clothes.

"Cara, have you ever been kissed before?" He asked, but this time his tone was serious. That stopped her swift movements. Her fingers were still tangled in her long wavy hair. She heard his movements and the next thing she saw were his serious hazel eyes looking at her. Nasa harapan na niya ito at hinihintay ang sagot niya. Would she admit it to him? Pero kahit hindi niya aaminin malalaman pa rin nito. She really blushed and was embarrassed.
