Trent Morris (Gentleman's Possession Series #1)

Chapter 25

Nang makarating sa penthouse ng binata ay dumiretso siya sa kwarto nila. Her breathing is not yet normal. Natatakot parin siya, kahit alam niya na nandito ang binata ay hindi naman nila alam ang magiging galaw ng kalaban.

She sit on the side of the bed. She can feel the fast pumping of her heart. Kahit walang nangyari ay takot siya, the possibilities are always there. And the wicked are aiming her.

After all this years, they're still after her? Can this subside? Ano ba talaga ang gusto nila?

She heard the door opened. Pumasok ang binata habang nakatitig sa kanya ng mariin. Trent is looking at her while standing in the doorway. His arms are cross.

"Are you okay, now? Tell me, please." he's worried.

The desperation on his voice, it's bothering her. As long as she can hide this for him to not feel burdened and worried, she will.

"I'm not fine but I'll live." she smiled, a reassuring one.

Lumapit ang binata sa gawi niya. He sat beside her and kiss her forehead. She smiled, parang kinurot ang puso niya sa ginawa ng binata. Pansin niya na palagi siyang kinocomfort ng binata through this way, by kissing her. And it's the perfect way. She loved it. Nawala bigla ang pangangamba niya, with him beside her, in his arms and his kisses.

She stared at him. Hindi niya mabilang lahat ng kabutihang ginawa sa kanya nito. Kahit noon paman ay gentle na ang binata, tho noong first encounter nila ay medyo cold nga ito at mukhang marahas, sa huli ay makikilala mo ang tunay na katangian ng lalaki.

She reminisce their first ever encounter, it was in a bar and she was around 17 years old back then. She was a new graduate that time, she was supposedly happy that time but she heard the most incisive truth about the death of his father. Nang araw na yun, she wanted to get wasted so she sneaked in to that bar. It was her first time tho, and even it was, walang nakapansin na menor de edad siya. She's tall at the age of seventeen.

That's the day she gave her self to a man she bumped into. It's a one night stand, wala siyang pake noong araw na yon, maybe because of alcohol or her problems that time she gave in. Pero, hindi niya inakala na sa pagpasok sa koleheyo ay makikita niya ulit ang binata. And it was Trent. Una ay hindi niya maintindihan ang binata, he's so cold and aloft but he's got lots of girls around him. He's so busy with his study and girls, but she captured him really hard.

Trent is cold for people he doesn't know and softie for the one he cares.

Kaya ng makaalala ay naalala niya ang encounter nila sa anibersaryo ng mga magulang ng binata, he's cold and strict, his eyes held no emotion, no life. Halatang may galit ito dahil sa pag-alis niya, dahil sa aksidente. Pero noong araw na yun ay wala siyang maalala kaya hindi niya din alam kung bakit ganon.

And talking to that, ang pag attend ba sa party na yun, is that coincidence or intentional? Possibleng sinama siya ng Ina doon para magkita sila ng binata, and Trent's parents, are they aware too? Magkakilala na ang mga magulang nila noon paman at boto ang mga ito sa relasyon nila. That adds perfection to their relationship because they're legal to both.

And she was not supposedly not revert that time. Mama forced me. Oh, my. Pinauwi niya ba ako to attend the party and reunite with Trent?

"Trent? Your parent's anniversary....."

"Next year? Why?"
