The Possessive CEO

CHAPTER XII

Chapter XII: Little glimpse of him

Kalev Stanislaski's Point Of View
     I felt horribly guilty for wanting her. I wanted her more than I'd wanted a woman in a long time. I'd ever known who could give me an erection by mere discussion of unzipping a gown. Umuwi ako sa penthouse ko and it's already 3 hours since I left her in the hospital. She's simple yet beautiful. Kung di ko lang napigilan ang sarili ko, I would take her more ways than one.

The penthouse is still the same. Paintings in gilded frames hung from each wall. It's clean, not particularly cheerful just black and white but it wasn't dull. Full of expensive furniture and accessories yet empty. And the only thing that make the penthouse alive is the grand piano at the side.

She wanted me, hindi ako manhid para hindi ko 'yun maramdaman. It probably made me a cad. I came here for business not for sexual affair. Pero sa tuwing pinipikit ko ang mata ko she's there hunting me. And the idea of Marsh in my bed makes my di*k hardened. I fucking need a cold shower. Iniisip ko pa lang siya tinitigasan na ako. I took her innocence and I'm so proud of it. Good God! I want to be inside her. Having a blue balls right not doesn't help at all. I seemed deadlocked with pent-up emotions of so many kind that make my head spin. Only Marsh could put an emotion inside me. And I wanted to ask, why.

"So glad you dropped in." A jocular tone of Nikos  shook me immediately.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked. As far as I remembered, nasa La Casa Dela Lorsiendel pa sila. Umupo si Nikos sa sofa like he own the place. Remind me to change the password of my penthouse.

"Thanks to you, napauwi ako dito sa Manila ng wala sa plano. And I planned to spend a night here." He returned, unmannered. I throw my coat in the sofa and headed straight for the kitchen and grabbed a cold bottle of beer. Popping off the lid and tossed it into the can. I chugged the beer down, draining half.

"Hinatid ko si Haneah pabalik dito sa Manila. Tori's acting like a brat at pinilit akong ihatid dito si Haneah. And Tori threatened me if I didn't bring her here hell will open the ground itself. Alam mo naman ang kayang gawin ng babaeng yun. She has a Stanislaski blood after all. And Haneah, that girl is all over you, Kalev. Damn lucky bastard." Umiling na lang ako. "I don't give a fuck about her, Nikos. You know that. I'm only nice to her because her family is one of the stockholders in my company."

"Being nice isn't in your vocabulary." Naglakad si Nikos at kumuha ng baso. He opened the whiskey bottle and poured it. He took a sip.

"So, why are you keeping the Marsh woman around?" I nearly choked and my heart begun to pound in my chest. I cleared my throat at sumandal sa island counter. "Keeping her around?" Even Nikos noticed that.

"I expected you to left her by now. There's no merit if you keep her. Anong makukuha sakanya, Kalev. Spare her. Are you using her for something else?" Am I?

"I won't answer that." A perfect simple answer. Yes, I'm planning to keep her around until I know why am I reacting every time she's near. Maybe I'm using her for my own satisfaction. My own desires. And my own selfish reasons.

"You're fucked up, man." Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Nikos. Maybe I am really fucked up. "Ohh." He said like he remembered something. "Isn't she the girl? Don't play with fire, cousin. Baka ikaw din ang mapaso sa apoy na nilalaro mo. I'm off." Sabi niya at umalis ng kusina.

Marsh Lahm... I whispered. Sometimes, it's better if some story is left untold.

I wanted to see her. I needed her. And I can't wait for tomorrow to come. I'll probably see her. I'll claim her. Because the first time I laid my eyes on her, she became mine.

But for now, I need her phone number.

Marsh Lahm's Point of View

          "Iha, magpahinga ka muna. Pasado alas dose na ng umaga. Ako naman ang magbabantay kay Marco." Sabi ni Aling Nelda. Bumalik siya kaninang alas onse ng gabi. At kumuha ng gamit. Nagpapahinga na si Marco at ako naman ay lunod sa iniisip ko. Paano ko mapapagsabay ang trabaho ko? "Dito na lang po ang magpapalipas ng gabi Aling Nelda. Uuwi na lang po ako sa apartment mamayang umaga." Sabi ko at biglang nagvibrate ang phone ko.

From: Stacey
     It's okay Marsh. And by the way, isasara ko muna ang coffee shop until I'm away with Kelvin. You know, honeymoon. [/chuckles; Bye!

Napangiti ako sa sinabi ni Stacey. Nagtext ako sakanya kanina saying sorry I can't make it to the reception. Something came up but didn't speak about Marco. Mabuti na lang naiintindihan niya.

Hindi niya bubuksan ang Coffee Shop niya means mawawalan ako ng trabaho. Biglang lumuwag ang pakiramdam ko. Means magkakaroon ako ng oras maging PA ni Kalev. Biglang nagvibrate ulit ang phone ko. Siguro si Stacey ulit to. I checked my phone and it came from unregistered number.

From: +63 90********
      Still awake?

Hindi ko alam kung sino ang magtetext sa akin ng ganitong oras. Isang tao lang ang pumasok sa isipin ko.

To: +63 90*******
        Kalev?

I bite my lips at hinintay ang reply niya. Why am I acting like a teenager? Like I'm a teen girl waiting for my soulmate to reply.

From: +63 90*******
       Yes. Save my number.

So I did. I add his name to my contacts with the name Kalev S.

To: Kalev S.
       Thank you for today. I appreciate it.

I'm thinking twice kung isisend ko ba o hindi. But still clinick ko ang send button. Agad nagvibrate ang phone ko.

From: Kalev S.
       Don't thank me yet. Meet me at the Stanislaski Enterprise. 8 AM. For the signing of contract.

I rolled my eyes like he could actually see me. So bossy. Kahit sa text hindi pa din mawala ang pagiging busy niya.

To: Kalev S.
      Yes, sir.

Hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko pero mas mukhang naexcite ako kung anong mangyayari mamaya. Naghintay ako ng limang minuto at hindi na siya nagreply. Mukhang nakatulog na siya. I smiled. This is going to be exciting.
