Ace Of The Beauty (El Vicente Series #3) COMPLETED

Kabanata 19

Sabay kaming nag-enroll ni Rashid sa school. Kung dati ay lagi kaming magkasama, ngayon ay halos hindi na kami mapaghiwalay. My parents agreed that they would find me an apartment. Kaya nagrepresinta ako na ako na lang ang bahala sa paghahanap.

Of course, why would I want an apartment far from Rashid? I bought a house near his house!

Mom was smiling sadly at me while I took my things from our house. Dad was just looking at me, hindi ko siya pinansin. I went to my mother and hugged her. Pumapayat si Mommy, a thing that I'm concerned of lately. My heart was bleeding, too, as I see her look sad and thin. She burst her tears out when I hugged her. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako din ay naluluha.

"I love you, Mom." I whispered and kissed her cheek.

She wiped her tears like it was my first time to say it. Well, it was. Nagkatinginan kami ni Dad, I just smiled and left.

Kasama ko si Rashid maglipat ng mga gamit ko. Dalawang bahay ang nasa pagitan naming dalawa. My apartment is quite larger than his and its two storey house. Gusto ko sanang mas maliit pero wala na akong makita. The rent of this house is paid by my parents but I'll try to budget my allowance to pay it, too.

I flashed the camera when Rashid hugged me from my back after a tiring day of fixing my house. I smiled and looked at our picture. Nakatakip ang camera sa mukha ko at ang mukha ni Rashid ay nakasubsob sa leeg ko. He was hugging my thin body.

"You can sleep here." I smirked at him. Umikot ako para asarin siya lalo.

Mula noong gabing iyon, hindi na ulit naulit! Naiinis ako dahil pakiramdam ko nadisappoint siya sa akin. Tuwing sinasabi ko iyon ay naiinis siya sa akin pero kapag niyayaya ko ay umaayaw. That doesn't makes sense at all.

"Papaluin na kita," banta niya pero nangingiti naman.

I frowned. "Come on, Rashid. Kawawa naman ako, nalanta kaagad ang sex life ko.."

"Gianna." he glared at me. "Ang aga aga.."

"Yes. So what? I'm can't be horny during the day?"

Pumikit siya ng mariin at hinilot ang sentido. Humagalpak ang tawa ko kahit na seryoso naman ang sinabi ko sa kaniya.

I never thought I'd be independent for so long. Mukhang hindi naman dahil laging nandito si Rashid buong araw, siya din ang nagluluto ng pagkain ko at wala akong nagagawa dahil hindi ako marunong magluto. That's why I thought that I should cook too.

Nangingiti si Rashid nang maabutan niya akong nanonood sa YouTube para matutong magluto ng simpleng adobo. Tinakpan ni Rashid ng kamao ang labi at umiiling akong tinignan. He looked like a husband who just came home and I'm the wife wearing an apron and cooking for our dinner.

"What?" natatawa kong tanong habang naghihiwa ng sibuyas gaya sa video. It wasn't as perfect as it is but surely, it will be!

"What are you cooking?" he said after sliding his phone on his pocket, looks like he took a shot of me while I was busy in the kitchen.

"Our dinner!"

Lumapit siya sa akin at niyakap ang baywang ko. Naghugas ako ng kamay at nakipaglampungan muna sa kaniya dahil napagod na ako kakaluto. I held his hand and placed it on my breast.

For the first time, he didn't remove it. Humalakhak siya sa tenga ko habang hinahawakan ang dibdib ko. He squeezed my boob. Ako naman ngayon ay hindi gumagalaw.

"Can I eat you instead?"

Namilog ang mata ko. "Nag.. luluto ako."

"We can do something about that."
