Chess Pieces #2: Hunter Sanford

Chapter 32

Zuri gave birth to a healthy baby girl and a baby boy. I laughed on the line when Kuya Helios called to tell me that Zuri is in labor na. Of course, I got nervous for her but the sound of my big brother's voice while panicking was so hilarious. I've never thought that he can act that way! He's a ruthless billionaire pero noong tumawag sya ang parang naging ibang tao sya!

He became busy taking care of his family. Minsan na lang din syang pumasok sa Gallagher Empire 'cause he said that he wants to take care of Zuri and his children. Ngayon daw ay babawi sya since he wasn't there when Summer is growing up.

Apollo and Daphne already picked a date for their wedding. They've been busy ever since but I'm helping them naman if I have my free time. Apollo looked more and more stressed kasi everytime that I see him. He wants their wedding to be perfect. He wants Daphne to experience every perfect thing that she deserves.

Both of my brothers were busy while me is having a good time in my life. Hunter is always with me, which is not something new, but he became more clingy now. Kulang na lang ay makiupo sya sa cockpit area kapag nagtatrabaho ako. We go a lot on a date na rin pero feeling ko ay hindi pa rin sapat ang oras naming magkasama.

I smiled at my reflection when I get satisfied with my look. I was wearing a cream white flowy dress na above the knee ang haba. It was sleeveless and since I'm wearing a light-colored dress, kitang-kita ang pagiging maputi ko. I curled my hair and put on a light makeup. I got my purse and decided to went down since Hunter is already waiting for me.

I saw him sitting on the sofa with his elbow resting on his slightly parted knees. He must've heard the sound of my heels while I'm walking down the stairs 'cause he looked up to me. Napatayo sya nang makita ako.

Nakangiti akong lumapit sa kanya. Heck, he's really, really handsome with his light blue sweatshirt and a dark blue pants. The sleeves were rolled up to his arms kaya nakita ko na naman ang couple bracelet namin. The leather bracelet with a bow and arrow ornaments. And that's the only accessories that we're both wearing in our right wrist

"Ready?" he asked. Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinawi ang buhok nyang tumatama na sa mata nya.

I smiled at him. "Ready."

He smiled back and took my right hand. He intertwined our fingers at magkahawak kamay kaming naglakad palabas ng bahay.

We decided to go on an amusement park for our date today. We almost tried everything and it's been a while since I last went to an amusement park. Bata pa lang yata ako noon. I wonder how does it feels na sakyan ang mga rides when you're already a grown up? Good thing na napilit ko si Hunter ngayon. With his bad guy aura, amusement park and him doesn't suit each other.

"Where are you going?"

We stopped on our tracks when we saw Mom and Dad na kakapasok lang sa gate. Mukhang may pinuntahan sila at ngayon lang nakauwi.

What? Did they have an overnight outside?

"Oh, Hunter. Ikaw pala 'yan." Mom greeted Hunter beside me and hugged him. While Dad shook his hand.

"Good afternoon, Tito... Tita."

"Saan kayo pupunta? Nag-almusal na ba kayo?" Dad asked.

"We're going to an amusement park. We'll have our breakfast before we go there na lang." I answered.

"Then why don't we all go inside and have our breakfast together?" asked Mom with a smile on her face.

I frowned. I don't want Hunter to have breakfast with them. Baka kung ano pa ang sabihin nila. Especially Mom. Walang preno pa naman ang bibig nya kung minsan.
