Alta Sierra 1: Troilus Sandejas

Ikapitong Kabanata

Ikapitong Kabanata

I cannot fathom how I can bare my feelings for someone. It is so unlikely for me to give my trust easily but I did. My heart thump like a wild animal whenever he's around. Is this even allowed? He screams danger but he makes me feel secure.

I breathe deeply before sneaking out my room towards the main door. Marahan ang bawat yapak ko dahil ayaw ko ng makaabala sa mga tao sa mansiyon. It's almost eleven but my excitement to see him is as just equal as his.

I bet he parked his car somewhere dahil hindi ko iyon makita. I almost screamed when set of warm arms enveloped me from behind. Right there, I found my comfort in the middle of the darkness. I am almost sniffing his scent. He smells so good that it makes me feel intoxicated... in an unfathomable good way though.

He slightly chuckled before making me face him and giving me a soft peck on the lips. He continued caressing my waist after the kiss and I cant help but ogle at his appearance... Damn gorgeous. His hair is disheveled and he looks exhausted but he still looks good...way too good.

He can't seem to get enough of our kisses kaya mabilis niya akong hinalikan ulit sa labi. But this time, it was deeper and there was longing. I pushed his chest, pinandilatan ko siya at hinampas sa braso. Afraid that someone from the mansion might see us.

He just shrugged it off and pulled me swiftly again for a kiss, pero mabilis akong nakaiwas kaya nag-landing iyon sa pinsgi ko. Damn this clingy man!

"No kissing, yet..." I bat my eyes at him to give him a warning look.

He lowly chuckled again before pinching my nose.

"Can't help it...I missed you..." He licked his lip and that made me gulped, reminiscing the one and only time when we made out inside his car.

Tahimik akong nagpasalamat na walang sapat na ilaw ang gabi para mapansin niya ang pag-iinit ng mukha ko.

Hinaplos ko ang braso niya at lumapit upang yumakap sa bewang niya. I hugged him like I don't want to let go. I felt him sniffing my hair and this just felt so good. Just when did I become so clingy to him?

"If you really missed me, why weren't you answering my calls?" Napanguso ako, naalala kung paanong nagtatampo ako kanina lang dahil sa hindi siya sumasagot sa mga tawag ko. It's been a week that I did not see him again! Hindi ko alam kung paano ko napagkakasya ang sarili ko sa ganitong set-up.

He renewed our embrace and kissed me again on the cheeks.

"I was on my way here... Naisip ko na sorpresahin ka. It seemed to work though. You missed me this much, huh?"

Ngumuso lang ako at kumalas sa yakap. I lingered my stare on him and I am always loving the view. Alam kong hindi tinatago ng mukha ko ang kalungkutan dahil mas madalas na hindi kami magkasama dahil sa trabaho niya sa Maynila. My words may not voice it out, but I'm pretty sure that my face is a give-away.

"That is the last time..."

"Hmm?" Napataas ako ng kilay sa sinabi niya.

"That will be the last time that I'll be far from you. Inayos ko na ang lahat. I'll stay here for good."

He'll stay here for good.

Is that an answered prayer? My face suddenly lighted up. Hindi ko na napigilan at inambahan ko siya ng yakap. I was ecstatic with the idea of him not having to go back and forth to Manila... that he can stay beside me..always.

His lips protruded while looking at me, seemingly happy with my reaction. Ni hindi ko alam kung paanong buhat-buhat niya ako ngayon. My thighs are straddling his waist while his hands are supporting my back. Mahigpit ang yapos ko sa batok niya. He has a huge built and since I am slim, tila wala sa kanya ang timbang ko.
