Herrera Series 8: The Last Heiress

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

NABIGLA si Caleb nang yakapin siya ni Scarlet pag-uwi niya sa bahay. Hindi niya inaasahan na sasalubungin siya nito ng yakap.

After what happen to them, Scarlet has been clinging to him. Umaasta itong natural lang ang kanilang relasyon gayong alam naman niyang tawag lang ng laman ang meron sa kanila.

It's been a more than a week since they decided to have this kind of relationship. Akala niya ay sapat na iyon para malaman niya kung hanggang saan ang hangganan ng pagmamahal niya kay Scarlet.

But something is definitely change on him. Something he couldn't even dare to imagine in his whole life. For more than five years, he's been loyal to Scarlet. Kahit sino pa ang ikama niya, walang sinuman ang makakapalit kay Scarlet sa puso niya.

Itinaga niya sa sarili niya na si Scarlet lang ang mamahalin niya habambuhay. Kahit pa nasasaktan siya na makita ito na kasama ang kanyang ama.

Pero, simula nang dumating si Alexa sa buhay niya, nagbago ang lahat. Hindi niya alam kung kailan niya naramdaman, pero alam niya sa sarili niya na merong lugar si Alexa.

Maybe that's the reason why he has sex with Scarlet in the first place. Because he wants to deny the fact that he is falling for her. He doesn't want to hurt his ego and tries to proved himself with Scarlet.

Hindi lang niya matanggap na may isang babae na kayang bumago sa takbo ng puso niya.

Fuck it!

Maybe the first time he looked at Alexa, he already fell in love with her. At the bus terminal when he saw her get inside his father's car, he thought, another innocent girl had fallen into his father's scheme.

Noong makita niya ito sa bahay nila at nagtapat ang kanilang mga mukha. Alexa had no idea how his heartbeat so fast back then. He got nervous. And the fact that her first impression of him  makes her even more angry of himself. I'm screw!

At noong makilala ni Alexa ang mga kaibigan niya. Hindi man niya aminin pero, nagselos siya. Lalo na kay Wyatt, na alam niyang nagkaroon ng pagtingin kay Alexa.

Noong kinuha niya ang dalaga para tulungan siyang ayusin ang resthouse ng Mommy niya, siguro dahil alam niyang kung makikita niya ang maamong mukha nito ay gagaan ang loob niya.

When she accidentally saw the photos of Scarlet on his tablet. He wasn't angry of her, he was angry of himself for not deleting those photos. For letting Alexa see all of it. And he wanted to punch himself for saying those hurtful words to Alexa.

And how worried and scared he is when she got bitten by a snake. How her beautiful face became so pale. Gusto niyang suntukin ang sarili sa pagiging pabaya sa dalaga, gayong gustong gusto niyang hawakan at yakapin ito.

And how frustrated he is when Wyatt warned him. Kung alam lang nito kung gaano niya kagustong angkinin si Alexa. Kung alam lang nito na siya ang unang nagkagusto sa dalaga. He wouldn't have said those words to him.

He tried to distance himself for Alexa but when he saw her again after a week, he couldn't help but feel relieve and happy. He got to see her smile again. Her beautiful face ang voice, made him calm.

And seeing her trying to like Wyatt made him so jealous. The person that he started liking after five years of being stuck in his past miserable love has falling to his friend, it's frustrating.

"Caleb.."

"Yes?"

"Anong gumugulo sa isip mo?" Kunot noong tanong ni Scarlet habang nakapulupot ang braso nito sa leeg niya. "Sabihin mo sa akin. I can make you feel better." Dumukwang si Scarlet upang gawaran siya ng halik.
