Daring to Date the Boss

Chapter Twenty-eight

"Monique?"

Biglang bumukas yung pinto ng banyo. There the Ken stood. Yep. Preppy Ken. Evil Ken. With his bewitching smile. Nakatapis lang ito ng tuwalya. She groaned inwardly.

Bumagsak ang pagod na katawan ni Monique sa higaan. Na eeskandalo sya sa itsura nito "What. Kailangan talaga nakahubad pa?" Bulong nya.

No reply.

Naramdaman nyang lumubog ang kama sa gilid nya. Tumagilid sya. Patalikod dito. Hmp. What did he think of her? Hard-to-get to no. Hindi pa sila okay. Hindi porke may nangyari sa bath tub bato na sila. Sabi nga ni ate Champ. Ang mahirap makuha, mahirap pakawalan. Gusto nyang sabihin ditong: Amuhin mo muna ko.

She have right to be angry with him.

Naramdaman nya ang pag hawak nito sa balikat nya. She felt his hard naked chest against her back when he tried to peek above her soulder.

"Okay ka lang ba?" Parang biglang nagkaron ng tenderness sa boses nito. O baka imagination nya lang yon. He sighed. He still didn't move from behind her. Didn't ke know what he's doing to her senses?

Yumakap ang kamay nito sa may mid section nya. Mabilis syang umisod palayo dito papunta sa gilid nya. And he also moved along with her! Umusod ulit sya. Umusod ulit ito.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Ang laki laki ng kama dyan ka nagsusumiksik."

She coudnt believe it!

"Ang laki nga ng kama dikit ka naman ng dikit."

Inis na humarap sya dito. Sa pagkakaalam nya, hindi nya sinasadya na magkatapat na pala yung muka nila. Their nose touched. Didn't eskimos kiss like that?

Tapos, hinila sya nito lalo palapit. Nilagay nito yung kamay nya sa may bewang nito kaya nagmuka silang magkayakap. Hindi na sya nanlaban because she found their position comfortable. And almost intimate. Well, hindi na nga almost e.

"I already said Im sorry. Kaya wag ka na magalit." Nagsalita ito sa may ulo nya kaya napapikit sya. Habang sinasamyo ang hininga nito. Hmm. Amoy mint.

"You have the right to accuse me of being scoundrel. Alam ko kung ano iniisip mo Monique. I didn't want to make excuses and allowances for my behavior. And being a man didn't qualify for trysting just to gain your trust." Zaint whispered softly. "Nung tinanong kita kung nagsisisi ka, natakot ako sa pwede mong isagot. Im afraid you might said yes. That thought scared the hell out of me more." Lalong humigpit ang yakap dito sa kanya.

"I know you more than anyone did. Siguro iniisip mo, i may think you odd, but i didn't. Alam kong ako palang ang lalaki sa buhay mo." Something tugged at her heart at the sincereness in his voice. "I felt proud like i wanted to shout as I stared at the evidence on the sheet. Maybe I was confused at the same time. I was more afraid of myself now. Mas lalo na kitang hindi kayang pakawalan. "

In an instant, she was already facing him.

"Bakit mo ko kailanga pakawalan, kung hindi ko naman gustong kumawala sayo?" Madamdamin nyang tugon dito.

Kaya pala ganito sila kanina, kung ano ano naman iniisip nito. Napangiti sya. Maybe Zaint only need an assurance. Assurance na hinding hindi nya ito iiwan kahit kailan.

Mataman lamang sya nitong tinitigan. Walang emosyon. Pero parang may hinihintay. May hinahanap sa mga mata nya. Pag katapos ay hinalikan sya sa noo.

"I'd let tomorrow take its toll. I was being unfair but I knew there was no turning back now. We had a past that we both can't outrun. We had a future ancertain for both of us. We only had today. We could only grasp the present." Tumigil muna ito bago nag salita muli.
