Our Promised Land (The Valdirrama's Series #1)

Chapter 14.

Phone Calls

I was busy preparing our dinner when I heard Lucien's voice talking to someone over his phone. I took a quick glimpse on him standing and talking seriously outside my terrace. His voice was soft and I can't even hear a little. Maybe, it was just about business or important matters.

Bumalik ako sa aking ginagawa at nang matapos ay hindi pa rin natatapos ang pagtawag niya. I wonder who is it. Is that so important that it takes a long minute to talk? At bakit mukhang napaka seryoso naman yata.

I took a few step without making any noise. Lumapit pa ako ng kaunti upang marinig ang kanilang pag-uusap. I don't want to be an eavesdropper, but curiosity kills me deep inside.

"Hayaan mo na ako. It's out of your concerns. You don't have to think about me, do you understand? Kaya ko ang sarili ko. I don't really need you." I can sense the authority within his voice.

Halatang pinipigil ang galit at inis sa kausap.

"Just shut your damn mouth. Fuck! Don't call me again." asik niya sa mahina paring boses.

He ended up the call and took a heavy breaths. Umalis ako kaagad sa aking pwesto upang hindi niya malamang nakikinig ako.

When he entered the door, he smiled to me as if nothing happened between him and whoever is in the other line.

Binalik ko rin ang ngiting ibinigay niya.

"Let's eat?" anyaya ko.

We ate peacefully and silently. Minsan ay magkakatinginan at ngingiti at agad din magbabawi ng tingin.

I wonder what's with him. Minsan ay misteryoso siya at may kakaibang pinapakita. I can sense it. Hindi man sabihin ay ramdam ko.

Knowing someone doesn't mean knowing all things about them. Sometimes, we just know a little but not the wholesome about their reality. They can be mysterious in their own ways.

I drop that thoughts about him. I'm sure it was just nothing. He can't lie to me. I trust him.

"Sasama ka ba bukas sa pagdalaw ko kay daddy?" I asked him while I was cleaning the table.

Nagpresinta siya na siya na raw ang maghuhugas ng mga pinggan habang ako naman ang naglinis ng lamesa.

"Sorry, I couldn't come with you, baby. As much as I want to go with you, I still have things to do. Just send my regards to your father." he answered while doing the dishes.

I was just staring at his back. As he move, his muscles flexes. It was perfectly moving as it flexes. Pinagmasdan kong mabuti ang kabuuan niya. Napakaperpekto ng kaniyang pangangatawan. Halatang inaalagaan at mas pinag tatrabuan bawat laki sa kaniyang katawan.

"Done staring?" he said as he chuckles sexily.

Napakurap na lamang ako at dumiretso sa aking kwarto.

I went directly inside my shower room to clean myself and to freshen up.

When i'm done, dumiretso naman ako sa aking closet upang magsuot ng pantulog na damit.

I was busy wearing my undergarments when Lucien entered.

Malagkit ang kaniyang bawat tingin. Kaakit-akit at may halong panunukso. He's biting his lower lip that makes him so damn hot.

"Bakit magsusuot ka pa ng mga iyan kung aalisin rin naman mamaya?" tukso niya habang naglalakad palapit sa pwesto ko.

I am now with my undergarments. I was about to put my pajamas when he grabbed it. He threw it somewhere.
