Chess Pieces #2: Hunter Sanford

Chapter 24

When did I start falling inlove with this man?

I have no idea. Basta isang araw, namalayan ko na lang na naiinis na ako sa mga pasaring ng Jane na iyon. One day, I just realized that I want Hunter all by myself.

I fell inlove with him at the most unexpected time. I was so broken but he did fix my broken heart. Iyan tuloy. Mas malalim ang pagkahulog ko sa kanya.

I brushed his hair with my fingers and planted a kiss on his cheeks. He chuckled. Nakangiting isinandal ko ulit ang ulo ko sa balikat nya. Inayos nya ang pagkakaupo ko at mas hinapit pa ako palapit sa kanya.

I laughed. "Clingy..." asar ko pero ngumisi lang sya. I pinched his lips. At first, I was irritated whenever I see this smirk on his lips but now, I realized that I was just irritated 'cause he looked more charming with that badass smirk of his.

Natatawa nyang inilayo ang mga labi nya sa akin. "Kulit mo."

I returned my hug on his neck and just settled myself inside his arms. Even by this moment, my heart is still beating so fast. Hindi na yata matatanggal ang ganitong epekto nya sa akin so I should get use to it instead.

The calm moment that we had was disturbed by the sound of a helicopter. I frowned. Mukhang malapit lang kasi yung tunog. Like the chopper has landed in this yacht!

"Finally..." Hunter muttered and that's when I knew that it must be Creed.

But Hunter looks like he wasn't planning to move at all kaya ako na mismo ang tumayo mula sa kandungan nya. Pinigilan pa nga ako ng mga braso nya kung hindi ko lang sya sinamaan ng tingin. I heard Creed's voice na kasi.

"Yoo-hoo! Pizza delivery! Anybody home?"

Hinila ko pa si Hunter patayo at inakbayan nya agad ako. We went to the yacht's helipad and we saw Creed who looked like a chopper's model instead of a pilot.

His brown hair is visible because of the sunlight. Mahahalata lang kasi ang pagka-brown ng buhok nya kapag natatamaan ng liwanag. He was wearing an aviators and a gray hoodie with a black tight jeans and a brown combat boots.

He whistled when he saw us. "Wow! Parang may nag-iba yata, ah? The last time I saw you together, you were having your lover's quarrel pa."

Creed winked at me and I saw Hunter rolled his eyes. Napatawa ako but he glared at me so I just pouted instead.

Kasalanan ko bang cute at nakakatuwa sya kapag umiirap sya?

"Where is it, fucker?" Hunter asked with a deep and serious voice making it look like his friend is being an annoyance and he doesn't want to meet him at all.

Creed placed a hand on his chest, just the part where his heart is. Then he acted like he's hurting.

"Aray naman! Wala man lang bang welcome hug dyan? Ang layo pa ng nilipad ko makita ka lang!"

"Bilisan mo na lang at umalis ka na. You're being a nuisance."

Creed tsked before he went to his chopper to get something while muttering words I couldn't even decipher. Pero tingin ko naman ay nagrereklamo lang sya sa pakikitungo ni Hunter sa kanya.

"Ito na po, kamahalan." Creed sarcastically said. My jaw drop when I saw him holding like ten paper bags in his hands.

"Ilagay mo sa loob."

"Ang galing naman! Ako na nga ang bumili, ako pa ang uutusang magdala sa loob. I am your friend, Hunter, not a fucking maid."

"Binabayaran kita."

That's when Creed stopped. "Sabi ko nga." pero nang dumaan sya sa harap namin ay bubulong-bulong naman sya. "Palibhasa kasi hindi mo alam kung paano ang kumayod para sa lumpiang shanghai kaya nagsasayang ka lang ng pera."
