Trent Morris (Gentleman's Possession Series #1)

Chapter 14

Nakasimangot siya habang nakasuot ng cute na apron at nakaharap sa niluluto. She's quite annoyed of Trent who ditch their cooking session. After their grocery, dali-dali siya nitong hinatid sa suite nila at umalis din kaagad. Batid niya ay pupuntahan nito ang taong nag message sa binata kanina sa kotse.

"Hindi naman sa nagseselos ako dahil gusto ko siya at may ka meet siyang kung sino lang pero tama ba yun? He's very aware that we're gonna cook for our meal today but he ditched me? Huh! Where is justice in that!?"

"Is he meeting a girl?" tumagilid siya at tinignan ang sarili sa salamin.

Inirapan niya ang sarili, and then flipped her hair.

"I'm pretty. I'm sure I'm more prettier than all her past girls."

She cannot comprehend herself. Ngayong araw ay sobrang ang dali niyang mairita. Naiinis siya sa konting bagay, naiinis siya sa nag message kay Trent at naging dahilan ng pag-alis nito.

Sobrang lala na ba talaga ng feelings niya sa binaya at nagkakaganito siya? Well, 'di pa naman gaanong alam kung 'yun nga. Pero sobrang lapit na sa sukdulan.

"No. I guess it's my period. Right."

Binalik niya ang atensyon sa niluluto. Tahimik siya. Napangiti nalang din siya ng maalala na para ito sa binata. She'll make sure to cook this right for him. It takes that for a while until a warm masculine arms embraced her that made her eyes widen in fear. Agad pumasok sa isip niya na baka someone sneaked in their suite.

Goodness! Is the security not tight?

"Who ar-"

"Let's stay like this for a while, please."

"Trent?"

Instead of answering, he put his head over her shoulders. She cannot deny this fact that she also wants this. She loves his arms encircled over her. The comfortable feeling she's having while their body touched. Can they stay like this forever? Because, she wanted it.

As a response, she hugged him tightly. They stayed like that for how many minutes before he loosen up.

"Why did you suddenly hugged me?

May pag-aalinlangan niyang tanong.

"Something came up?"

He locked her face in his palms. Tinitigan siya nito ng mariin. The emotion in his eyes, they're full of desperation.

"I wished you could just tell me what happened that day. So, we can't suffer this way." he's in sorrow.

"Trent, anong sinasabi mo? Care to tell me? May problema ba? Sa'n ka galing?"

"I wished you did call me, so that I can come to you."

A lone tear escape his eyes.

"I wished I was in your side that day. I'm sorry."

"Trent, what is this?" her heart is breaking while seeing him this terrified.

She's not used to this. She knew him as a strong and firm man and this is the first time he cried in front of her. As far as she remembered.

"Clarion, listen to me." he cupped her face once again.

"I'm saying this because I can't endure it. So, please listen to me." puno ng emosyon ang kanyang mga mata.
