Dangerously Beautiful (Gozar Sisters #2)

Chapter 13

Miranda Lucille

We don't hook-up anymore. Instead, we just cuddle. The contract no longer exists. I thought I was gonna be frustrated because I was used to having a lot of sèx but surprisingly, I didn't. Being in his arms is way better.

I stared at him for a moment. He's peacefully sleeping. Ever since that night, siya na ang nagsusundo at naghahatid sa akin sa bookstore dahil "ginagawa pa daw" 'yung sasakyan ko. I thought he was gonna drop me home but he'll continue to drive until we're at his house.

It went on like that until I got used to it. Until we're so comfortable with each other that I was doing my make-up while he's taking a piss. Until I get used to his presence, I can't imagine a day without waking up next to him.

Each day, I realize how much it would hurt if I let him go. Each day, I realize how lucky I am to be loved by this incredible man. Each day, I realize that there's no going back on this because I'm madly in love with him.

I'm in, way too deep and I don't want to be pulled out anymore because this is heaven.

I discovered that he had my car fixed way before and It has been sitting in his garage. He just didn't want to tell me because he wants me to stay in his house.

And that makes me so happy. So desirable in a way.

Kahapon ko lang nalaman. So, now, I'll take it home. Inilapit ko unan ko para iyon ang yakapin niya. It's just six in the morning. Mamaya pa 'yan magigising. I kissed his forehead before I left his house. 

Being with him is like being in a freaking cloud nine. It's a bliss to be cherished by him. 

I decided to run around the park when I got home. Hinihingal akong huminto sa pagtakbo nang mag-ring ang aking phone.. I pulled it out from my phone armband. Sweat is running on my skin.

"Hello?"

"Leaving me while I'm asleep is becoming your habit, Miranda Lucille." His voice was sexily raspy.

I chuckled.

"Oh, good morning, Mr. Jonas. Is hiding my car now a habit?"

Tumawa siya sa kabilang linya.

"Well...sort of."

"Thank you...for having it fixed. I appreciate it.."

"It's nothing...why did you leave me?" 

I rolled my eyes in the air.

"Babalik din ako.. have a good day at work. I'll see you tomorrow."

That made him pause.

"Why? Don't you wanna go home?" Mababakas ang lungkot sa kanyang tinig. He sounded like a lost kid and for some reason I felt a twinge of pain in my heart. God, I'm so attached to him that if he feels something, I feel it too.

I bit my lower lip before I answered.

"I-I just need a little space. I'm not going anywhere, I swear. I just need a little time for myself." Deretsong sagot ko. There's no point in lying anymore. I feel something for him. He knows it because he can feel it even though I haven't said it yet.

He paused for a while bago siya sumagot.

"S-sure...no problem, just call me, if you need me. I would always be here, Miranda."

My heart raced as a smile crept up to my lips.

"Okay...take care." I love you...gusto kong idugtong ngunit kinagat ko ang aking dila.

"You too..I'll miss you."

"Me too."

Napabuntong hininga ako nang matapos ang tawag.
