Just How I Like It

Chapter 33

NAIARA

I was already wearing my outfit for today's dinner at my family's house when I went to Ken's condo. Sabay na kaming pupunta roon gamit ang sasakyan niya. Pagdating ko roon, katatapos niya lang maligo.

Habang nagbibihis siya ay nag-make up lang ako nang very, very light. It's just dinner at our house and pamilya ko lang naman ang nandoon.

And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins, wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living, if it's not with you

I hummed along with the song playing on Felip's playlist from his studio's speaker. I put on some mascara on my lashes and completed the make up look with a pink shade of lipstick.

"Distract my brain from the terrible news . . . It's not living, if it's not with you," mahinang pagsabay ko sa kanta.

Hindi makita sa half body mirror sa sala ang kabuoan ng suot ko kaya pumasok ako sa kuwarto ni Felip dahil nandoon ang whole body mirror. I looked at the champagne colored satin casual dress I was wearing through my reflection. Above the knee ang haba at ang ganda ng pagkaka-fit sa kurba ng katawan ko. It has a square neckline and short, little sleeves.

Hindi ko napansin ang paglapit sa akin ni Felip mula sa likod ko. I watched him on his reflection on the mirror as he hugged me from the back. Ang higpit ng pagkakayakap niya sa akin but not to the point na hindi na ako makahinga. His strong veiny arms looked so possessive. The tattoos on his right arm only added masculinity on his physique.

He rested his chin on my shoulder as he stared at me gently through the mirror. Pinakatitigan ko rin siya at parang mas lalo lang siyang gumaguwapo sa paningin ko. Lalo pa't napakalinis at pormal ng ayos niya ngayong gabi. His hair was brushed up so neatly. He was wearing a beige short sleeved polo that was tucked in his black trousers.

This wasn't his usual wardrobe, but he managed to wear something like this for this event. Sinabi ko kasi sa kaniyang pormal ang susuotin namin at wala namang problema iyon sa kaniya. Now hindi ko na alam kung anong look ang mas gusto ko sa kaniya -- Felip with casual and stylish clothes or Felip with formal clothes like a very honorable man.

Ang hirap pumili kasi kahit anong suot niya, sobrang bagay sa kaniya. Pormal man o naka-tshirt, napakalakas pa rin ng dating niya. Nag-uumapaw ang sex appeal niya kahit anong style.

"Ang ganda-ganda mo naman . . ." malambing niyang puri sa akin.

I smiled and reached for his cheek. "Thank you, handsome. Syempre dapat bagay ako sa 'yo. Ang pogi yata ng kasama ko ngayong gabi."

Natawa siya nang maikli. He closed his eyes and comfortably leaned his face on my neck. I smiled at how peaceful he looked like and by the way he hugged me protectively. Sobrang gaan ng mundo sa tuwing ganito kami. Sana ganito kami palagi.

"Do you think your family will like me?" tanong niya.

I nodded. "Sinong hindi magugustuhan ka? You're the sweetest, my love. You have a very loveable personality. Imposibleng hindi ka nila magustuhan."

He sighed and gave a smack kiss on my cheek. "Thank you. Gagawin ko naman ang lahat para magustuhan nila ako para sa 'yo."

Humarap ako sa kaniya at ipinalupot ang kamay ko sa batok niya. His arms remained on my waist. 

"They should feel honoured 'cause I'm dating a rocksta," I teased.

He laughed a little. The way his eyes lit up when he laughed brought so much comfort in me. Sobrang guwapo niya lalo kapag ngumingiti at tumatawa. Para akong kinikiliti. I chuckled and rained kisses around his face. He giggled more and seemed to love it so much.
