Enemy's Trap (4th Gen #1)

Chapter 20

"H-heixon." Natauhang tinulak niya ng marahan ang binata. 

Napangisi ito at nagpadala sa tulak niya.

"So,  can you eat now, wife-baby?"

Hindi na siya nakasagot bagkus para siyang tutang sumunod sa sinabi nito. She sat in the chair and eat her food he prepared.

Habang sumusubo siya ay panay ang ngisi ng binata habang siya ay masama ang tingin niya rito.

"You are so adorable, don't you know that?" He said while he's staring at her face.

Bigla ay nahigit niya ang hininga at naramdaman niya ang pag-init ng pisngi. Umiwas siya ng tingin dito.

She saw on her peripheral vision that he smirked on her reaction. Napairap na lang tuloy siya. So boastful!

Tumikhim ang binatavpara kunin ang reaction niya.

"By the way, it is the 25th death anniversary of the King and Queen of Benjamin. We should come to the palace, it's mandatory for all."

Napaangat siya ng tingin sa binata.

Palace? Yes, they call it the palace. It is the home of his great grandparents. It is called palace because it is bigger than the mansion, way way bigger than the mansion. Like four times?

"So all the Benjamin will gather?"

"Yes, and it happens every year. Lahat ng mga Benjamin ay kinakailangan dumalo. No excuses."

Na-amaze siya doon. Benjamins are really powerful people. They are not just an ordinary family. At alam niyang may mga Benjamin ay kasali sa underground organizations.

"Tito Spade is a dangerous man, right? Does it mean other Benjamins also part of illegal or underground organization?" Kuryusong tanong niya sa binata.

Ngumiti ito. "You can say that. But our generation are quite peaceful unlike my father's generation. They are the dangerous and chaos one."

Napatango-tango siya rito. Kung iisipin mabuti ang buhay ng mga Benjamin ay nakakahilo at nakakahanga. And Benjamin's won't exist without the King Benjamin and his Queen. Jayce Vaso Benjamin and Charmie Fonraquias.

"So, when is the party?" Tanong niya rito. Atleast she can prepare right? She will design her own gown---

"Tonight."

"What?!" Gulat na singhal niya rito.

Tonight?! How can she prepare that fast? Urgh! Why didn't he tell her last few week? At least man lang nakapaghanda siya. It's a Benjamin's gathering. She should come prepared!

She glared at him. "How can I prepare for that short span of time, Mr. Benjamin?"

He looks confused. "Huh? You still have 6 hours to prepare. That's enough time already."

She look at him disbelief. "Enough time? Are you kidding me? I will go to spa, salon, choose the gown I wear, make up---hmpfh!" Natigil siya sa pagsasalita ng halikan siya ng binata. His kiss was deep and intense kaya hindi siya basta bastang nakakawala. Masarap, eh.

Ng maghiwalay ang labi nila ay habol niya ang hininga ay napahawak sa dibdib nito bilang suporta. Nanghina kasi bigla ang tuhod niya sa halik ng binata.

"You're really a spoiled brat." Ani nito. Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin pero naiwala iyon ng patakan siya nito ng halik sa labi.

"And I love it. Basta ikaw."

Bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya. 'Yung tipong hindi na siya makahinga. They were just staring at each other until unti-unting lumapit ang mukha sa isa't-isa.

At akala niya talaga ay hahalikan siya nito sa labi. But she was wrong, instead he kissed her forehead instead.

She found that gesture sweet.

"Go now. You start preparing. Or else mabawasan ang oras mo dahil hindi ko na kayang pigilan pa ang sarili ko."

Napalunok siya at wala sa sariling tumango dito.

Ngumiti ito at nilisan ang kusina, kinuha pa nito si MaRha.

Siya naman ay nanatiling nakatulala sa kusina.

Heixon Marcus, what have you done to me?

SIX hours, did she really make it?

Usually kasi isang buong araw siyang maghanda kung may isang bonggang party. And nakakainis lang kasi 6 hours lang ang binigay ng binata. And that wasn't a simple party. Ang mga Benjamin, ang lahat ng Benjamin ay dadalo.

She needs to look pretty and a wife that can be proud of.

Natigilan siya sa naisip. Really, Cleo? Like, kailan ka pa may pakialam sa sasabihin ng ibang tao?

She sighed. Oh my gosh, since when did you stop being bitchy all the time?

Napatitig siya sa salamin. She was alone on their room. She's now prepared. All done.

Since her hair was natural curl, and it was a beautiful slightly spiral curl. Many was envious because of that. So she let it stay natural, she didn't iron it. And for her make up it was kind of natural and looks like a goddess. Not her usual make up type that is smokey and seductive.

And she loved her dress. It wasn't her usual sweetheart, low v-neck gown. It was off shoulder yet she looked so elegant on his peach gown.

What happened, Cleo Pat Rha?

Her thoughts was cut when she heard a knocking of the door.

"Wife-baby?" Heixon asked on the back of the door. "Are you done? If yes, then come downstairs. We are leaving."

Bago siya tumayo ay sinipat na muna niya ang sarili para tiyakin na lahat ay nasa ayos. When she was satisfied, ay lumabas na siya ng kwarto. Wala na roon ang binata. Probably downstairs.

The house was silent, only her heel were making a sophisticated sound.

Kyah, she feels like she was in a movie.

Slowly a smile form on her lips when he saw Heixon facing his back at her. He was talking on phone, probably Dence because he mentioned Kuya.

"We'll be here a few minutes, I'm waiting for Cleo to go down. Bye, Kuya. Laters." He said. Ibinulsa pa nito ang cellphone.

"Marcus." Her mouth suddenly called him, on his second name.

Napalingon kaagad sa kanya ang binata.

His body went stoic upon seeing her. And he can't blame him that. Tonight's look wasn't her usual look at alam niyang naninibago roon ang asawa.

"Cleo..." he muttered in low voice pero sapat na iyon para marinig niya. He seems out of breath.

"Well, how do I look?" She sweetly smiled at him.

"You made me breathless." Usal nito tila wala pa rin sa sarili.

Ng tuluyan na siyang nalapit sa binata ay ipinulupot niya ang braso sa batok nito.

"Then, I'll give you air to breathe."

Then pull him closer to shared a kiss with her husband.
