Safe Haven (Completed)

14

Tahimik lang sila buong biyahe pauwi. Si Wyatt ay kanina pa walang kibo simula nang iwan nila ang Senador. From the looks of it, the Senator care about Wyatt. It's just that, his wife couldn't accept his illegitimate child.

No matter how much she hates that Sabbina, she also can see where she's coming from. Hindi niya ma-imagine kung ano'ng gagawin ng Mommy niya kapag mag-cheat ang Dad niya tapos ay magbunga pa 'yun. It's like, giving someone everything that you've got, but still it wasn't good enough. Her Mom might hurt her Dad in any possible ways, pero hindi nito sasaktan ang inosenteng bata kagaya ng ginagawa ng asawa ng Senador kay Wyatt.

She's just so glad that her Dad is a faithful man. Alam niya, at walang duda, kahit sino sa Mom and Dad niya ay hindi magagawang mag-cheat.

Growing up, ang masaksihan ang relasyon ng parents niya, it left a high standards regarding relationships. Kaya hanggang ngayon, for her, no man is interesting enough. She wanted a man just like her Dad. Someone who would stick around for the rest of their lives.

She wanted a man who will value her opinions. A man who is man enough to let her make her own decisions.

Some guys are control freaks. To be fair, ganu'n din naman ang ibang babae. But she wasn't like that. So, she was kind of hoping to find a man who won't try to control her life. Just like her Dad to her Mom.

Nang huminto siya sa tapat ng apartment building nila Wyatt ay tahimik pa rin itong bumaba ss motor niya. She've never seen someone so broken before. Ngayon lang. And it hurts too, because it's Wyatt who's hurting.

"Hey, Wyatt," pagtawag niya sa pansin nito.

Nag-angat ito ng tingin sa kaniya. "Bakit?"

"Come closer. May ibubulong ako," seryosong sabi niya. Nakasakay pa rin kasi siya sa motor niya.

Bumuntong hininga ito pero sinunod ang gusto niya. Yumuko pa ito nang bahagya para maabot niya ito. Itinagilid pa nito nang kaunti ang ulo para nakaharap na sa kaniya ang kanang tenga nito.

Napangisi siya. She leaned in and kissed him on his cheek. It was not just a simple or soft kiss on the cheek. Madiin ang pagkakalapit ng labi niya sa pisngi nito. Tumagal din nang mga nasa limang segundo bago siya lumayo.

He stayed on his place. Natulala pa ito at naging malalim ang paghinga. Medyo naka-awang pa ang labi nito nang dahil sa gulat.

Fuck macho guys. This cute and adorable man is for keep.

She chuckled because she found his reaction so endearing. Isinuot niya na ang helmet dahil baka ano pa ang magawa niya. Nanggigigil na siya kay Wyatt ng mga sandaling 'yon. Baka kung saan niya na ito mahalikan kapag hindi pa siya umalis.

"I like you. I just thought you should know," diretsong sabi niya rito.

Hindi niya na ito hinintay sumagot at nag-drive na palayo. She didn't need to hear his answer. Hindi siya assuming na tao, pero alam niyang gusto rin siya nito.

Mayabang? Over-confident? Assuming? No. It shows in the way he looks at her. She can clearly see it in his eyes.

He's just too insecure to say it outloud.

She was driving when she noticed a black car following her every turns. It did not bother her at first, pero nang sinadya niyang umikot sa iba't ibang daan, nakasunod pa rin ito. She even tried to stop in a gas station to "buy" something, natanaw niya pa rin sa 'di-kalayuan ang kotse.

Nagtagis ang panga niya. So, this is how you pathetic people are going to play? Trying to scare the shit out off me? You're just pissing me off.
