Head Over Heels For Ezzio (Villaverde Series #1)

Chapter 30

Paris

"I don't need your help," sabi ko, inaalis ang pag alalay niya sa'kin nang makababa kami ng kotse.

Matapos nang pagd-drama ko kanina ay napagtanto ko kung gaanong nakakahiya 'yon. And when he realized I couldn't tell him anything more, he finally decided to take me to... wherever. I had no idea. Heto kami ngayon at kararating lang sa kung saan. Surprisingly though, I seemed to not care at all.

I winced and held my temple again as I felt my head pounding. All I wanted to do was to crash on a bed and go to sleep.

"Yes, you do," rinig kong sagot ni Ezzio. Hindi ko siya pinansin at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad nang pagewang-gewang.

Where the heck are we?

I figured we were on a parking lot, judging by the cars parked here. Pero ang tanong, saan ba kami patungo?

"Shit!" sigaw ko nang matalisod sa pavement.

Screw these stilletos!

I heard Ezzio sigh behind me before feeling his hold on my arm.

"I told you," he said. Tuluyan akong umupo sa semento at tiningnan siya. I watched him take my heels off and I couldn't help but secretly admire him in this view. His medium-length hair still hadn't changed. But I could say it suited him better than the last time.

I giggled.

"Ang pogi mo, Martinez."

Napatingin siya sa'kin. Akala ko mananatili na lang siyang seryoso at tahimik. I was caught off guard when the side of his lips rose in amusement.

"Lasing ka nga talaga," sabi niya. "The 'sober' Paris would never say that to me."

I could only purse my lips. Hindi niya na 'yon inalintana. Sa halip ay tinalikuran niya ako at nag-squat. My brows creased in confusion.

"Anong ginagawa mo?"

"I'm giving you a piggyback. Mas matatagalan tayo kung aalalayan pa kitang maglakad."

A what?

I almost laughed at the idea. But I also thought he was right. Masyado na akong pagod at inaantok. Nakakahiya mang gawin 'yon, pero wala na akong pake. Maybe I'd eventually forget about this tomorrow. And so, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held both my legs before propping up. Hawak-hawak niya ang dalawang heels ko sa isang kamay nang magsimula siyang maglakad. I sleepily rested my head on his shoulder. Nakita kong pumasok kami sa isang lobby pero hindi ko na 'yon ipinagtaka pa. We also got inside an elevator. He managed to push one of the buttons while I was busy inhaling his manly scent, specifically on his neck. Something about it made me feel a bit of a rush inside me. At the same time, it gave me comfort.

I closed my eyes for a while. When I opened them again, I found Ezzio entering his passcode and opening the door. Bumungad sa amin ang living room.

Is this his...?

Before I could come up with my conclusion, he opened another door and it led us to a room. The walls were colored white. Minimal furnitures. Mostly black or grey. At the center was a king sized bed. Marahan niya akong inihiga doon. Agad kong naramdaman ang kalambutan ng kama. He threw the comforter over half my body. I wanted to go straight to sleep but my see-through top wasn't very comfortable to sleep in, so I started taking it off. Kakatayo lang ni Ezzio nang makita niya ang ginagawa ko.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Bahagya akong napatawa sa tono ng pananalita niya. Hindi ko siya pinansin at tuluyan na lang na hinubad ang suot kaya naman ang itim na bralette na lang ang natira. I threw the piece of clothing on the left side of the bed before taking a look at him. Umiwas siya agad ng tingin bago ako tinalikuran.
