The Hidden Gem

Chapter 57

Binalik ko sa upuan namin si Aria pero umalis ako para pumunta sa banyo. I needed to think things through. I told mom to give me two days para umuwi and I'm currently thinking a way kuna pano ko sasabihin sa iba.

Iniwan ko silang nagtataka at naghilamos ako ng mukha sa banyo. Nang matapos ako ay biglang bumukas ung banyo at pumasok si Lumiere.

"That girl told you something that disturbs you. What is it?" nag-aalala niyang tanong.

"Two days. I only have two days." Diretso kong sabi na nagpasimangot sa kanya.

"Why so sudden?" he moved closer and touched my face. Caressing it like fragile porcelain. "I'll help you."

"Don't." I said and he smiled. "I got it covered. Don't worry." binaba niya kamay niya at pareho kaming napatingin sa pintuan. Pumasok si Harvey at blankong nakatingin sa direksyon namin. Tumingin muna sakin si Lumiere saka lumabas ng banyo.

Nakatingin lang siya sakin na para bang may ginawa na naman akong mali.

Ano na naman kaya yon? Hindi ko naman inaway ung babaeng yon!

Imbes na tanungin siya ay nilagpasan ko nalang siya pero hinatak niya ang braso ko at isinandal ako sa pader. I planned to protest but he immediately crashed his lips to mine. His hand gripped my jaw while the other was wrapped around my shoulders. I was trapped as he pressed his body against me and forcing himself to me.

He shoved his tongue down to my throat invading me as I started to lose my breath with his doings.

Someone then grabbed his shoulders and he was pulled away from me. I saw Lumiere gave him a punch. Medyo napaurong ito pero agad namang nakaganti ng suntok.

"Stop!" Papagitna sana 'ko pero may humatak ng kanang kamay ko. Si Lumiere. Nilagay niya ko sa likod niya at matalas na tumingin samin si Harvey.

"I've had enough of you interfering, Roux. Let him go." Harvey was gritting his teeth when he said that. His position's saying that he's ready to strike any time.

"Why would I? Clearly, you have no business with him like I do." Lumiere wiped the blood on his lip and smirked that made Harvey's anger seems to doubled.

"Lumiere, stop. Don't provoke him." Tumingin siya sakin at ngumiti.

"I'll enjoy breaking your bones." Tinulak ako ni lumiere palayo at naghanda sa papasugod na si Harvey. Their gaze were clashing both were ready for attack. I wanted to stop them but the room was a bit small for the three of us to move widely.

Harvey was about to strike when someone called him from outside and he stopped. "Harvey?" Gem called and knocked. "Babe, nakarinig ako ng mga ingay. Okay ka lang ba dyan?"

Harvey growled at tumingin samin. Mukang nagdadalawang isip siya kung anong gagawin niya.

"Your girl is waiting for you." sabi ni Lumiere. Tumingin sakin si Harvey parang naghihintay ng sasabihin ko pero tinignan ko lang siya.

I observed his actions from then and now. I concluded that he had something for me. Dahil sa pagtatalo nila ni Lumiere, pakiramdam ko at pareho sila. I admit I'm lusting over him sometimes but my control is so much stronger than that.

Harvey scowled then went out.

Nang makalabas kami ay may kinakausap sa telepono si Harvey at nagyaya itong umuwi dahil may kakausaping bisita daw sa mansion. Nauna na silang umuwi at naggala muna kami nila Yka at Aria sa mall. Saglit lang kami don dahil nanood lang kami ng sine at nagtaxi na pauwi. Pero hindi ko inaasahan ang madadatanan ko don. It was mom.
