One Chance For Redemption

Kabanata 40 - Jealous

I am thankful for letting me experience this extreme feeling that they called love.

I have also believed that death is the worst thing that ever could happen to anyone. I have always lived my past life like a trap bird. Now, as I live this life, Amaury's second life, I came to realization that there are more things much worse than death itself.

Not be loved, and to not be able to love, that is worse.

Being in love can make you feel happier than you've ever been, sadder than you've ever been, and even angrier than you've ever been. It can elate you and deflate you at almost at the exact same time. I felt all those extreme emotions when I felt love. That is when Dale came in. And I can't thank him enough for letting me experience love.

"What are you thinking of so deeply, hmm?"

Nawala ako sa pag-iisip when a calm baritone voice echoed inside my room. Agad umusbong ang ngiti sa labi ko. Ganoon lamang kadali mabuo ang araw ko.

Just him leaning on the door frame with his white loose house wear, disheveled hair, and grinning lips. Malumanay ang mga mata na tila kagigising lamang.

"You are up early, Dale. Hindi ka yata nakatulog kakaisip sakin?" I teased him sabay humagikgik. Bumangon na ako mula sa pagkakahiga at umupo sa gilid ng kama ko.

Ngumisi siya pinasadahan ng isang hagod ang magulong buhok, he licks his lower lip before speaking, "I could say the same to you, Amaury."

Damn! Look at him... just look at him! Look how seductive he looks right now! I always find him adorable and handsome, but never this sensual! May ganito ba talaga siyang side? Bakit ngayon ko lang napansin? O masyado lang akong tigang at marupok pag dating sakanya kaya ganito ako kabilis mahumaling?

He took large, quick steps. I watch him charmingly walk towards me. Damn. Hindi ako magsasawa sa view na ganito. Because I could watch him for eternity and enumerate the things that I love about him.

Nang makalapit ay agad na tinukod ang dalawang braso sa magkabilaan ko. Trapping me on his arms. Not that I'm complaining... I kind of like it, though... but I want it much closer so I could kiss him...

Ugh! Amaury, seriously. Mukhang kailangan ko nang alcohol para sa madumi kong isip.

"Did you sleep well?"

Earlier, he used his baritone voice, but now I can hear his deep husky voice... almost sounded as sleepy and breathless...

This is not my imagination anymore! He really is seducing me, huh?!

"Uh... yes," habol hininga kong sagot. "Yes... I think I did."

Hindi matanggal ang mata ko sa labi niya as he licks his lower lip. "Gusto mo bang maglibot at mamili dito before we head back to our mansion tomorrow?" he said using his seductive voice.

I groaned and looked away as I gulped, "Sige mamimili tayo... Uh... mamaya."

"Hmm. After lunch or will you take your tea first? Hmm, Amaury?" He said, using his breathless voice again.

"A-ayusin mo nga yang boses mo! Nakakainis!"

Ngumisi siya at tumaas ang isang kilay. "Alright."

Tumayo siya ng maayos sa harap ko. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag dahil sa paglayo niya.

"There's something I want to ask you, Amaury." panimula niya.

"What is it?"

His playful demeanor vanished, and he suddenly became serious. "I wanted to know kung bakit ka nagalit sakin ng ilang araw pagkatapos nating mamili ng gamit mo?"
