Still Into You (Negros Series #1)

Still Into You 26

He park his car in front of his mansion, near the fountain. Lumabas siya sa driver seat at agad na isinara iyon. Walang alinlangan niyang dineritso ang lakad patungo sa akin, o sa aming kinatatayuan ni Cheska.

"Alex!" Francheska stated, almost like a whisper, yet her voice were marginally trembling.

I stared at him. He's wearing a black tuxedo, the first two buttons of his white inner was open. His hair was messy and the coat were crumpled.

"La Cuesta." I whispered. His eyes is directly looking at me.

Pagkalapit niya ay niyakap niya ako. It was tight, my head rested on his chest and I can smell his branded masculine perfume.

"Alex, your mother called." Cheska interrupted.

Nakalimutan ko din na nandiyan siya.

"Later, Ches." Khalex said without letting go of the hug.

"It was about your company, Alex. Its urgent!"

Jesus. Her tone raised.

"I said later, Francheska."

Nanlaki ang mata niya sa seryoso at bilog na boses ni Khalex. It was awkward for the three of us. Siya ang umalis at iniwan kami. I can hear her heels tapping the cemented ground.

"Anong nangyari?" May problema ba sa trabaho niya? Sa kompanya nila.

"What is that?" Kumunot ang noo niya ng makita ang bag na hawak ko. "Let's go inside."

He's here. I waited for him to come back. Alam ko na babalik siya.

"Are you okay, Khalex?" He look so tired! I want to take care of him.

"Everything is fine. I can handle it."

Of course he can! Alam ko kaagad kapag malaki ang problema dahil ganyan ang sinasabi niya.

"Kinuha mo ang mga gamit mo? Uuwi ka sa bahay mo?" He's looking at my bag.

Umupo ako sa couch at tumabi siya sa akin. We can talk here. Hindi ko lang inaasahan na dadating siya ngayon.

"Sasabay ako sayo." He holds my wrist.

Huminga ako ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili. No, I'm leaving.

"I want to hear it." I can't sleep while ignoring that matter. "Did my father really asked you that? Pumayaga ka?"

"He did asked me. We met in Cebu where an event was held. I knew your father for a long time and he told me that you were here, working under my property. He asked if you're doing fine. I don't know what to said at first. Hindi ko din alam na nagtatrabaho ka dito sa resort."

"Is that the reason kung bakit umuwi ka dito noon?"

"Yes because I want to check on you. Titingnan ko kung maayos ka ba dito, kung maayos ba ang resort, kung may mga problema ba. And everything is doing fine so I left."

"And you came back. Why? You still need to report to my father about me?" Tanda ko ang araw na iyon.

"I came back not because of that. Bumalik ako dahil gusto ko at dahil sayo. I didn't lie when I said that I was captivated by you the first time I saw you in front of my house. If you're thinking that I stayed on your side because your father asked me, then, no Margaux it's not like that."
