Trent Morris (Gentleman's Possession Series #1)

Chapter 12

Nakaupo ng komportable si Clarion sa harap ni Trent na nakatingin sa kanya at kumakain 'din. After what she said, Trent just looked at her for about a minute and nod afterwards but she didn't ask a thing yet, not yet. She's still hoping that he would just tell her without her asking, that way, she'll be relieve and contented.

“Are we okay?”

He asked, worry is in his eyes, it's begging too. May naramdaman siyang kiliti sa kalamnan. Kahit madilim ang mata nito ay kita niya parin ang pagsusumamo.

She sighed. Nod and smiled at him. Marupok.

“Yes, but as promised.”

“I will.”

She smiled at him..kahit na,  gusto niyang magsabi nalang ang binata sa kanya para mas gagaan ang loob niya. But when? Why is he holding up? Nag-aalala ba 'to sa kalagayan niya?

Umiling siya at pinagpatuloy ang pagkain. This night, she'll definitely enjoy this and forget the things that's on her mind, for now. Kasi nag effort na ang binata, kahit ano pang mga komplekadong bagay ang nasa isip niya ngayon, she won't let it ruin this beautiful fascinating night that Trent made. At nararamdaman niya, through his stare, gentleness and assurance, that he feels something for her, too. Kasi kung wala bakit ito mag e-effort ng ganito? For a bestfriend, really? Nope. She knew he likes her, too. Why didn't she noticed it before? Talking about self-preservation again?

In some ways, that's how love works. Definitely complicated at first of course with the participation of hardships, trials and misunderstanding but never let that wins, never be a loser.

She roam her eyes at the beautiful scenery, the yacht, the shining moon, stars, the table which was set simply yet elegantly, the foods and of course the man who made this night special.

“You made this for?” she can't help but ask.

She wants assurance.

He halt and focused his dark menacing eyes on her.

“For you. I want to apologize.”

Parang piniga ang puso niya sa narinig. How could a man so handsome, masculine and successful do this things?  Ganito  ba ito dati noong sila.......pa?

“For what, then?”

Tinitigan siya nito ng mabuti.

“I think I annoyed you when I became rude at the park. I'm sorry.” his dark eyes are pleading as he said those.

“Just don't do it again. I might really stop approaching you if you do that again, try me.” as if she can really do that.

He smiled and tap her head, softly.

“Always the bossy miss.”

She slapped his hand.

“Hey!” napatawa nalang siya.

Nakakakilig pala ang ganito. Yung free kang gawin ang lahat kasi walang pumipigal na mga sagabal.

Tumawa ang lalaki, binulabog ang mga insektong nasa apat na corner ng silid. She eyed him seriously, parang tumalon sa saya ang puso niya habang nakatitig sa gwapo nitong mukha na tumatawa. This is the first she saw him laughed like this. Is he really that happy? Because of her? Paano niya nasabi?
