Chapter Twenty Six
Crazy"No. You're not part of the team."
"Yes. Else, your team is not going anywhere."
I know he'll have a say on this! Damn it!
"Exactly, Rian. You're the CEO, you think they'll be comfortable with you around? Tss. You're spewing intimidating air even without that label."
"And you're not? You're the heiress of that empire."
"But I'm friendly."
"And I'm not? I'm friends with everyone in your company."
Lagi syang may sagot! I frustratingly sighed. Nang matapos ay diretso na akong umakyat sa kwarto namin.
I drew myself a bath. Kailangan kong tanggalin ang pawis na alam kong ibang init ang nagdala at hindi ang panahon.
Nakababad ako sa bath tub nang biglang pumasok si Rian at dire-diretsong nagtungo sa shower room.
What the?! Nakalimutan ko bang i-lock ang pinto?
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked when he went out of the frosted room, to get a new bath gel from the cabinet below the lavatory.
"Showering," kalmanteng sagot nya.
"I'm in the tub, Rian."
He glanced at me. Making me cover my nakedness with more bubbles.
"Yes? I can see that, Rafaella."
"Why don't you just use the bathroom down the hall? Or wait until I finished?"
"Will you be using the room?" he pointed at the shower room.
"Later, but-..."
"Then I can use it now, can't I? Come on, baby. We already showered together. What's the matter?" he smirked.
"I'm fucking naked right now! That's the matter, Rian. I showered with you with my undergarments still on."
Humarap sya sa akin. Don't look, Rafa. Don't look!
Damn it! How can someone be so smart and sexy at the same time. Akala ko ba hindi ibinibigay lahat? Biglang nag-init ang katawan ko kahit nakababad ako sa tubig.
"Do you want me to take this off so you can call it a tie?" nakangiting sambit nya at hinawakan ang garter ng boxers nito.
Does he know? Does he know that I'm affected by him? I feel like he knows. I'm damned. Ang mga nakakaloko nyang ngiti ang ebidensya na alam nyang apektado ako sa kanya.
Unbelievable!
Mas lalo kong inilubog ang sarili ko sa ilalim ng tubig. Kung lunurin ko na lang kaya ang sarili ko dito? I stopped submerging myself more when the water level reached my bottom lip.
Hinayaan ko na syang pumasok sa loob ng shower room. Sigurado naman akong mauuna syang lalabas ng banyo kaysa sakin.
"Rafa, baby..." he called out. I looked his way and I saw his head sticking out of the shower room's smoked glass door.
"Call it quits?" natatawang aniya at ihinagis ang boxers nito sa sahig.
What the actual fuck is wrong with this man?! I looked at his shorts then to him.
"Very funny, Ri-..." naputol ang sasabihin ko ng pasukan ng tubig ang loob ng bibig ko.
Nakalunok ako noon dahilan ng masakit na pagkakasamid ko. I sat up straight and coughed more.
