BURNING RED

Chapter 21

WARNING: SLIGHTLY SPG (HEAVEN)

"Why don't we go back to our table Merida. Let them catch up." Carl said then pulled Merida away.

I instantly followed them. I couldn't be with him alone.

Nakaramdam ako ng kilabot nang lumakad din siya pasunod sa akin. Masyado siyang malapit.

Damn him. I didn't know that seeing him again would be this intense. He has changed a lot. Kung dati ay gentle at sweet siya, ngayon ay rough, sexy and domineering na. Sobrang naoverwhelm ako.

I swallowed hard when he took my elbow and guided me towards my chair.

The familiar tingles ran through my body again. Suddenly my whole being had woken up from a deep slumber.

"Thank you." I said shortly then looked at Carl and Merida. But that gaga was almost swallowing Carl again. I awkwardly looked around the room instead.

Shit naman. How could I survive this night?

"Carl, stop that. Get a room instead." Bryce said.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at binalingan ko si Bryce habang umiiling. Hindi pwedeng maiwan ako kasama itong lalaking ito. No way! Baka magapang ko lang siya!

"I-I'm fine. That's normal. I do that all the time too. You know.. getting cozy with your date." I said nervously.

His sexy eyebrow raised up then asked. "You want us to do it too?" I nearly choked on my spit with what he said.

Nang titigan ko ang mga mata niya ay nakita ko ang pagnanasa sa mga ito. I suddenly got hypnotized by his dark eyes with lust. He then licked his red lower lip.

Damn..

I parted my lips to take in a breath. He was too much. Too hot to handle.. too sexy.. hindi ko akalaing magiging ganito siya ka HOT sa muli naming pagkikita.

Without waiting for my reply, he pulled me closer to him then dipped his head.

"No Bryce!" Taranta kong naisigaw at inilayo ang aking mukha sa kanyang mga labi. Napasinghap ako nang maramdaman kong dumampi nang bahagya ang mga ito sa aking tainga. My heart pounded like crazy.

But instead of withdrewing, he licked and bit my earlobe hard enough to get a moan from me.

"Okay. Not yet then." Saad niya sabay layo. Tease! Nakakainis. Bakit ba kasi sinabi kong hindi?!

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Naguguluhan ako sa tinatakbo ng utak ko.

Nang pakawalan niya ako ay inilayo ko ng bahagya ang aking upuan. As if it could make any difference.

Kainis. Asan yong pinagmamalaki kong flirting 101? Rusty na ba ako?

Bryce called the waiter then ordered for the both of us. I looked at him when he ordered the food that I liked.

I chewed on my lower lip. Natatandaan pa rin niya..

I looked everywhere but not Bryce. Hindi ko talaga matagalan ang init ng mga titig niya sa akin. Bigla akong pinagpawisan.

When I remembered I was wearing a coat, I stood up and slowly removed it. Siguro kaya ako naiinitan dahil dito.

I tried to clear my mind then sat back down again, now more confident. Kailangan ako ang manalo dito. Hindi ako makakapayag na ako lang ang naaapektuhan sa aming dalawa.

When our food arrived, we chatted for a bit while eating. We would go to the party after this.

The party was for Bryce pala. He just bagged a multimillion dollar project sa America. To think na kakagraduate lang niya. He was really making me proud.
