Who's the Boss? (Salvaje Caballero Series 1)

Dieciocho

Ynoa's POV

I have never felt this way towards anyone. Ni kahit kay Harry, hindi ganito ang naramdaman ko. I thought I loved Harry so fucking much, it's only now that I realized my feelings for him was shallow. Dahil kay Roemer, hindi ko alam kung paano naging ganito kagrabe. I never thought I could feel this much towards anyone.

My breathing hitched because of too much foreign feelings. Saya, kilig, kaba, at sakit ang namutawi sa dibdib ko.

"These are all lies right?" I whispered. Halos hindi ko na makilala ang sarili kong boses. Mas humigpit ang yakap niya. Damn, I feel so secured and safe. He makes me feel like he always got my back. I bit my lip, my eyes watered.

"Are these still lies?" He asked, whispering. He withrawn from our hug, my heart broke. It made me feel incomplete.

My eyes met his. I bit my lip when I saw his pleading eyes filled with care, frustration, and the least I expected....love.

His rough hands touched cheeks. He wiped his thumb with my tears. Doon ko lang napagtanto na lumandas pala ang aking luha.

"Why are you crying? Hmm? Are this still part of our lies?" He whispered huskily.

Kinagat ko ang labi at umiling. What is this I'm feeling with you Roemer? If it ain't love, then I don't know what it is. Naiyak na ako nang tuluyan. Hinila niya ako sa isang mainit na yakap. I cried my heart out.

"Let's be real. No more secrets, Ynoa. We've been fooling ourselves for months." He whispered. I cried even more. Gusto ko ng sabihin sa kanya ang totoo. Na hindi ko anak si Zeijan, na anak siya ng Chairman. Gustong gusto ko ding magpakatotoo, Roemer. Trust me, I want to be honest with you so bad.

"Kaya kong panindigan si Zeijan, I love him like my own." He uttered, still his arms wrapped around me.

"Why are you crying this much, baby? You're breaking my heart." He whispered and kissed my head.

Lumayo ako nang kaunti sa kanya. I bit my lip and reached for his face. His stares are still serious, I smiled genuinely.

"Is it really okay?" I asked.

"What?"

"To love you?" I whispered. Please say no. Please. Dahil hindi ko na kayang pigilan pa ang damdamin at sarili. Sabihin mong hindi at bibitawan na kita.

"Yes." He whispered. I closed my eyes. I tiptoed and wrapped my hands in his nape. Kasabay nang pagdampi ng labi namin ay ang paglandas ng luha ko. Hindi dahil sa lungkot o sakit, kundi dahil sa saya.

Hinagod niya ang beywang ko at mas inilapit sa kanya. Still my eyes closed, his lips moved softly and passionately. Sinuklihan ko din ng marahan at mabagal na halik. Sa bawat galaw ng labi namin ay ramdam ko ang kanyang pag-iingat na tila ba isa akong babasaging kristal. I smiled in between of our kisses.
