Domineering 


It's a fine morning, I said to myself once I opened my eyes. My gaze directly locked to the windows. Hati ang kurtina niyon at mukhang nakalimutan kong isara kagabi. Sa sobrang pagod ko siguro kaya nakaligtaan ko nang isara pa.

I gasped and jumped out the bed when I smelled something. Bacon? Fried eggs?

"Shit." I muttered when realization hits me like a wrecking ball. Nandito pala and kuya ni Gabriel! How did I ever forget that? Guess I have to blame my tiresome job again.

I gathered myself as I mentally note the things that I needed to point out to this soon-to-be-brother-in-law of mine. I glided through my walk-in closet to get some fresh undergarments and my corporate attire for today as well.

The man is cooking. It's pretty obvious since umabot pa dito sa room ko ang bango ng kanyang niluluto. And my stomach somersaulted. I'm hungry. And it has been days since I last had a decent breakfast.

After I took a shower, pinatuyo ko ang aking buhok nang mabilisan at nagbihis agad ako. I glanced myself at the whole-body mirror. I wrinkled my nose when I noticed how short my pencil cut skirt is. But I don't have much time left to change.

Isang buntong-hininga na pagkalalim-lalim ang aking pinakawalan before I decided to show myself off to the devil. A handsome devil, so to speak. Natagpuan ko itong nakatalikod sa akin at busy sa pagluluto ng kung ano sa kalan. He was too preoccupied with what he was doing that he failed to notice my presence.

He's even whistling at bumubulong-bulong. He's singing quietly at mula dito sa aking kinatatayuan ay hindi klaro sa akin ang kanyang kinakanta.

And good lord! He's wearing an apron without anything underneath! Naka sweatpants lang din ito at nakapaa pa. He's sexy, one hell of a sexy man at that.

My throat became dry for some inexplicable reason that I wanted to grab a full glass of water. I looked away from his chiselled back at pinagtuunan na lamang ng tingin ang kitchen counter. Tatlong plato iyon. Apat na pirasong hotdogs sa unang plato, ang gitnang plato ay bacons at ang pangatlo ay apat na fried eggs. Nagulat ako nang masulyapan ang kanyang pinagkakaabalahan. Fried rice? Ano yun nagsaing siya para gisahin lang din niya?

I rolled my eyes upward. I cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked surprised knowing I have been here for quite a while now.

"Hey there. Kanina ka pa diyan?" He asked while taking off the ear buds from his ears.

Yeah, long enough to study how sexy your back is. I dismissed the thought.

"Not that long. You cooked?" Pinagaan ko ang tono ng aking salita.

He smirked. "Obviously." Humila ito ng upuan. "Have a seat, Julianne." Tinanggal nito ang apron at sinabit sa hamper.

And I obliged. The food looked delicious. "Thank you. Nag-abala ka pa." Are we in good terms now? The last night's argument was quite intense for me.

"Nah. I just can't start my day without having a breakfast."

"I see." Tipid kong sagot. Ako kasi, okay lang kahit magtrabaho na walang laman ang tiyan. Bumabawi nga lang ako tuwing tanghalian.

Umupo ito sa katapat kong upuan. His broad, muscled chest was very distracting. I couldn't even take my eyes off it.

He caught me looking at his chest and my face turned crimson red. He raised a perfect brow at me. "You look bothered. Are you okay?"

I bit my lower lip. "Ang pagkakaalam ko ay masama ang kumain nang walang suot. Magtatampo daw ang grasya so if I were you, I'll put my T-shirt on."
