'Til I Found You (COMPLETED)

12

Christmas break has come. The teachers plan to spend their year-end party at a resort. Aga rented the entire venue for two days. He'd spend whatever amount just to be near her. Just to feel her inches closer again. Everything was set a week before this day. She was flurry with anxiety. He is her weakness and being near him again might let her guard down. He is willing to bridge the gap she set in between. Weeks of keeping her distance didn't peeve him. In fact, it defies him to amp up his actions. Little did she knew that Aga took a course of action with all the teachers and admin staff's help. His friends teased him regarding it but he's desperate to win her back. Even if it takes to bring out the man in him. William, his Casanova friend, once told him, "gapangin mo na kase tol. Buntisin mo para wala ng kawala pa". He chuckled from that thought but if things turned rough and such idea is his last resort, he might consider it. Both of them are no longer at their young stage. He wants to settle down - be with his future kids, attend school meetings, drop them off and pick them up from school, and raise children with his dream wife, Lea. He pulls back to his senses when Cielo informed him that Lea has just arrived. Everyone acts casual so Lea won't smell something fishy. He stays at the pool area where the cottage is clear to his vision.

"Ay ang tagal, madam!", Jason helps to prepare their fest.

Lea steps in the cottage, "told you. I was a hesitant to come"

"Sus! Ang KJ Ms. Lea ha. Ikaw lang ang wala kung hindi ka pumunta", Trina, the HR head.

"Yeah. Right", she furtively roams her eyes around without knowing that he can see each move she makes from a distance. He smirked upon seeing her looking around the place, seemingly searching for somebody. She wears a one piece swimsuit with plunging neckline while her waist down is covered with scarf. It would be a big lie if he said that wasn't a turn on. She wakes up the wildness in him.

Emma clears throat and sings few lines from a song, "Pasulyap-sulyap ka't kunwari'y
Patingin-tingin sa akin
Di maintindihan ang ibig mong sabihin
Kung mayro'ng pag-ibig ay
Ipagtapat mo na sa akin
AGAd naman kitang sasagutin"

Lea seems to grasp the teasing look of her co-teachers that she shakes her head, smiling. He isn't around yet, she thought. Somewhat she feels comfy for the meantime knowing that Aga might be late or stuck in a traffic but there's an urge in her to ask it. "Mmmmm. So .... uhm .... t-tayo lang ata ang nandito noh? I mean walang ibang guests?"

Jason responsed, "may gusto kaseng solohin si Sir Aga eh". Emma elbowed him that he reacts, "aray ko ha! Ang ibig ko lang naman sabihin ayaw ni Sir na may ibang makisalo sa atin. Gusto niya ma-SOLO ..... yung buong place"

"So he rented the whole place?", she asked.

"Yeah. I did"

A manly voice answered her from behind. The teasing eyes kick off, she can't move. His musk scent mixed into the air that she breathes, his warm presence kisses her smooth skin. He slowly takes steps forward her. She feels him behind her.

"Teka sandali. San ba si Cielo? Yung batang yun talaga bigla-bigla nawawala. Hahanapin ko nga", Emma excused herself.

"Naku macheck nga kung maraming gwapong crew dito", Jason excused himself and drags his three co-teachers with him. The rest finds excused to leave as well. They're both alone. He reached for a glass of water on the table fronting Lea. She feels his bulge on her bum.

"G-good morning, Sir", she moves a bit but he leans his hand on the table that blocked her way.

"Good morning too", his lips are an inch apart from her neck. He can feel the heavy breathing she takes. "Why are you late?"

She remains facing her back at him. After many days of spacing out, there she is again - entrap in his arms. "I ... uhhh ... I ... I lost track of t-time, Sir. Sorry"

"Is that how you talk to your school director? Nakatalikod?"

She slowly turns around. He stunned her on his half-naked body. He's wearing a board short in black that reveals his curves. "S-sorry, Sir. I ... I meant to say that ... uhmmm", she's losing her mind. This man in front of her is such a tease.

"That what, Ms. Salazar?", he moves a bit closer, almost touching his chest against her mounds. Men around dart sticky glances at her since she arrived so seeing her wearing a revealing suit peeves him.

"Th-that because of the ... the traffic, Sir. I ... aaah ... I arrived late", she avoids his burning gaze. It's heating up her whole system.

"Alright. I see. Change your suit", he ordered.

"What?", she gazed up to him.

"Do I have to repeat what I said? You heard me. Change that damn suit or I'll rip that off"

She scoffs, "excuse me, Sir, but I think you're crossing the line. I'll wear what I want"

"Don't impugn me. Wear something that covers your tits or my hands will cover those for you", he takes a closer look at her face. "And you know what's next. You choose"

She sneers at him, "Why do you care? Atsaka hindi naman ata ako nainform na may required outfit pala. Eh di sana I wear sweatshirt instead"

"I don't want to argue with you. Magbihis ka"

"What if I won't?", she crossed arms as well.

He gets a hold of himself from not pulling her and suck that pair of red lips. Though his palms itched to do it. He leans his hands on the table, pen her against it. "Don't push me to my limit"

She plasters her tough side despite the heartbeats that scream for his name. "I'm not. Baka lang kase nagkakalimutan tayo. We broke up already, Sir"

"Baka lang din nagkakalimutan tayo. Wala akong naaalalang pumayag ako"

"You don't have to. I don't need your validation. Ayoko na. That is all", she thought he'd walk away but that was a lie. Instead, he smirked at her.

"We'll see", he turned to walk away but she replied.

"What do you mean?", she raised her brow.

He remains his back facing her, hands slid in pockets. "No one else can have you like I do, Lei. Mananatili kang akin". That shut her up. Her friends are right when they said that he'd never let go just like that. He's a person who gets what he wants. Each step she takes away from Aga drags him even closer to her. He's not giving up but she can't be defeated by her weakness again. She has to take control of her emotion. This is not for her but to someone she loves dearly - him.
