“Nina, what are you waiting for? hop on your horse now!” Diane said enthusiastically while grinning down at me as she rode the tall ebony-colored horse
We were now at Picnic Grove, one of the newest attraction in Tagaytay which offers a panoramic view of the Taal Volcano and other greenish pro-mother earth ecstasy.
I gulped as I felt the horse glared daggers at my wary anxious self, my knees tremble by just gazing back at the maroon-colored horse, which I think was named Samantha.
I was even afraid to touch it with my bare hands so I titled my head back and tightly close my eyes
My hands were still trembling when,to my surprise, I felt someone hop on to Samantha right away and grabbing my hands in a most affectionate touch
I looked up and saw Iñigo who was smiling down at me, his brown eyes shone as the sun lighted it up.. his complexion still at the brightest sexiest tan
“Let’s go?” He said with such beam in his eyes
then from the corner of my eyes, there was another flash of the camera from Diane’s direction
I was right, it was Diane who was still holding tight her Nikon D90
“AWW! Prince charming sweeping off Cinderella’s feet” she said, slightly pouting her lips before she released a long sweet chuckle
with a little “Humph” and pull, I was already on top of the horse with Iñigo's protective embrace around my frame.
My back was leaning on his Hard-to-touch well-defined chest and shoulders which made me slightly blush as he drew those warm tempting breathe on my neck
our faces were just inches apart, his head rested on my shoulder while he was gripping the rope thingy of the horse
“Sir, bawal po ang dalawa” said by a 5’6 old guy with his hat on. Diane just rolled her eyes while she eyed the guy from head to toe
“Manong, don’t worry. The girl isn’t that heavy you know, besides.. I’ll pay double, triple.. how much do you want?” ang sunod sunod na sabi ni Diane, who’s obviously trying to lure the man with her undeniable charm as she smiled at him
“Hindi po talaga pwe-“
“Manong, naman! Sige na!”
After a minute of long gushing and waiting, I heard the man took a very long sigh before he finally said “Ok”
which made Diane squealed in delight and started kicking her horse for it to start moving
This was one horseback riding experience that I actually completely enjoyed. Not because Iñigo was there stealing glances and kisses from me but because I did actually had a good time riding with it.
At first, I was a little worried, but after a while, I got the hang of it. Plus the horse was just wonderful! She followed my, or rather Iñigo’s cues and didn’t stray off the path.
on the other hand, Diane just did what she wants.. like some kinda pro-equestrian while her flowing long black hair added the effect of some commercial of a facial product, consequently, it made some heads turn and a lot of attention to turn on her direction and be captivated with her natural beauty
one foreigner, who looks like an Australian to me, even approach her to exchange pins but she refuse to and brushes off the offer of even hooking up.
After all, she was engage right? I thought while I glanced back at Diane who seems to be lost in thought ,just gazing at the wide green field
She’s definitely had something she didn’t want to spill I thought
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Man! That was just one hella weekend experience! Although its nothing compared to Ocean Park in Hongkong or the cable cars at the Alps, atleast I’ve enjoyed!”
Diane said as she took loads of shopping bags from her Beige Cadillac CTS Sedan
“You should’ve seen your face while you were on the zipline. Geez! how i wish i've capture and took a picture of you back there! Your cheeks were like .. blowing off on your face which kinda reminds me of some kinda crazy chimpanzee” Iñigo, who was still holding three bags of groceries that we bought in the morning, commented while he was laughing hysterically
On the other hand,Diane just gritted her teeth and glared at his brother
Nasa Villa na kami ulit ngayon habang kaka-park pa lang ni Iñigo ng car sa may tapat. We were talking about the next thing we’ll do the next day.. Diane said we should go out of the sun and have some fun on the beach
We were in the midst of our conversation when We were startled when we saw a gray Mercedes-Benz SL-Class parked, just in front yet not so far from the villa itself
I saw Diane’s reaction drastically changed as her smile abruptly faded when a silhouette emerged and approached us.. one step at a time, slowly.. just like his silhouette
“Diane, let’s talk” a deep masculine voice said almost sounding so commanding yet soft and captivating
but instead of glancing back, Diane continued her stride and
walked passed the man who was apparently standing in front of the Villa’s doorstep
When Diane switch the lights on, the man was now easy to see (although, I couldn’t still pinpoint who could he be)
He was somewhere between 27-29 years old, fully built (I couldn’t tell how built because he was with his tie), about a foot taller than Iñigo, had those cheeky almond eyes but you could still tell that he’s a half Caucasian male with his almost-dirty blonde hair
“What is there to talk about, Tyler?” She snapped while she threw the shopping bags on the couch and turn around just in time to face the man once again
I just watch them from the kitchen while I’ve helped Iñigo lay the grocery bags on the kitchen island
I was still gazing at them when I bumped into Iñigo who’s not entirely affected with the screaming from the living room
“Don’t be bothered, it happens.” He said while taking a sip on the glass of water, leaning so casually on the kitchen island, his back facing the table
“So that’s—“
“Yeah, her fiancé.. isa lang naman ang reason why umuuwi si Diane sa pinas usually pag nagaaway silang dalawa. The usual thing, they’ll fight then make up then – uhh do little intimate stuffs together then go back to states with Scarloe.”
He said while he laid the glass on the sink and then wrapping me from behind in his warm embrace
“pero, masyado na yatang intense. I mean, look at them.. screaming, shouting and almost trying to get hold on each other’s neck” I said while putting my palm in between us to stop him from planting another set of hot kisses on my neck
“That’s normal. Si Diane kasi, pag may gusto dapat nakukuha niya..” he said while leaning his back on the sink
“like their wedding, masyado siyang atat. She’s not even thinking na isang anak ng billionaire ang pakakasalan niya, ofcourse Tyler’s going to be hella busy attending their family business. He’s a Walton afterall” he added
“Hey! That’s not an excuse, even when someone’s busy—wait, what?! Walton?! You mean those pips who own Wal-mart?!”
“Yeah. That’s them. He’s Jim Walton’s youngest son”
Jim Walton!? Omg wasn’t he ranked as the 12th of the world’s richest men? I thought surprise with a sudden bubble of news... my eyes were wide open in shock.
Then , suddenly, we heard a loud “Clash” sound of a broken vase from the living room
“I think that’s a cue, let’s go upstairs” Iñigo whispered to my ear and took my hand
We were tip toe-ing our way up to the stairs when I heard two from the living room who were still shouting and screaming at one another
“I’m sorry if I told you—“
“Told me?! You yelled at me, Tyler! You yelled at me! Sayin’ I should grow the fuck up!” Diane said as I saw tears streaming down her cheeks, her mascara entirely ruin by it while Tyler’s attempting to lock her on an embrace
“Grow the fuck up…” she repeated while she yanked away Tyler’s attempt to hug her and then sobbed while she covered her eyes with her bare palm
“I’m sorry, Dee.. I didn’t mean to.” He said attempting to wrap his fiancé on his tenderness
Diane complied and wept more while she cried on his arms
“Come on, Nina.. I wanted you to see something” Iñigo said while trying to pull me on one of the rooms. I was still glancing back at them when Iñigo lure me inside the oak-door room from one of the villa
Teka, one of the rooms?! Don’t tell me—I thought horridly while Iñigo covered my eyes with his bare hands.
“Hey, what’s with this?!” I asked while holding his hands that was covering my eyes
“No peeking okay?” He whispered, sounding so seductive this time.. with those warm inviting breath of his sent this tingling reaction in my spine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“San mo ba ako dadalhin?”
“Wait.. wag ka masyadong atat, we’re almost there” He said while he lead me to what i felt like no where
He chuckled a little before finally letting his hands off my eyes
It took me awhile to adjust in the blurry vision, until I could finally see the horizon..
I glanced upon the blazing sunset, my eyes focused on the glistening, shining sea. As I stare in admiration, the tantalizing, play-full whisper of winds and the flirty gesture of the sea to provoke me and join them in the water.
“Ang ganda” I breathe while I engrossed my self with the view right in front of me.
Then I watched the sun slowly lower from the sea’s horizon which engulfs the sky with rainbows of red and yellow. the sunset was smoothly drinking what was left of a hot day to quench it's thirst before nightfall, slowly..
it was relaxing over the hillside while the aura was a prism spectrum with blended edges of streaking color..
We were at their Villa’s veranda (the largest I supposed) while Iñigo trapped me between his huge muscular arms, his chin resting on my shoulders while my back resting on his
Then he whispered in my ears
“Yeah, katulad mo”
I titled my head, giving him a full access to brush his lips unto my skin and trail small kisses on my neck
A mischievous smirk came upon his lips as he brought me closer to him, "Don’t you think its time for bed, Nina?" He said in a most low husky commanding tone
I just couldn't help but to giggle as my body became stiff, Iñigo pressing his plump lips against mine while we finally walked inside the room.
His hot tongue still penetrated my parted mouth and a moan from my lips smoothly escaped from the sensation.
Our mouths still locked in a fiery kiss, Iñigo's hand began to wander. It slid down to my firm butt, kneading and squeezing which made me moaned and pressed my body against his firmly, my hands feeling his back.
Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my body into him. He responded by enclosing his arms around my hips tightly and kissing me back softly.
He wrapped one of my legs around his waist and I lifted the other one around him as he carried me to the bed to lay me down on it, slowly crawling over me and lifting my blouse up and crawled his hands inside it to touch my mound
“Don’t you think they’ll hear it?” I asked between heavy breathings while Iñigo’s mouth attached itself to my neck as his hand began to slowly knead my shoulders and sides.
His erection bulged through his pants and pressed between my folds, almost feeling every bits of it despite of still having a short on, which gives exciting feeling forming between my legs
“SHH! They wont. The wall’s sound-proof” He said in a low tone as he completely crushed his lips unto mine once more
He kissed me with so much emotion I was practically blown away. Its as if my soul had left my body and All I could see is his passionate eyes digging deep into my very soul.
“I love you” He whispered
before I was totally lost with feeling of love he was giving me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Good morning, Nina.. Igo! Breakfast’s ready!” Diane said while smiling ear-to-ear on me. She laid the Cheese and Sausage Breakfast Casserole on the dining table
I darted my gazes at Diane..
I thought I almost witnessed world war 3 last night I whispered in my head while I noticed her hair was obviously fresh from bed ; it was messy but still falls perfectly unto her smiling beautiful face. She was wearing a long-sleeve bottom up dark blue polo which didn’t even reach up to her long aphrodisiac shape-y legs
A man, whom I recognized as Tyler suddenly came from behind her and wrapped his arms around Diane’s small waist which made her giggle and titled her head so their lips were finally as one
“Told you they’ll be fine the next day” Iñigo whispered right next to my ear while he gave me a soft quick peck on my cheek as he walked passed me to approach and get something inside the fridge
I took a glimpse at the right to find the two love birds who was obviously making out as if tomorrow’s gonna be the last day they’ll kiss
Diane’s hands traveled on the man’s corded arms, her ring flashing its glimmer right before me.
It was stylish bridal ring made up of exquisite white gold and lavishly prong set with 59 sparkling round the huge diamond on it
Diane suddenly broke the heated drowning kisses they’ve shared and she slowly pushed Tyler’s chest away from her to glance at my direction and smile at me once again
“Um.. Nina. This is my Fiancé, Tyler” She said softly
“Hi!” I said while I smiled at the man before me who genuinely smiled back
“Sweety” She said while back gazing at Tyler’s
“this is Nina, My brother’s girlfriend and my future sister-in-law” She added while winking at me
“Nice meeting you, Nina” Tyler said as he let out his hand for me to shake, and I did
“Wow, looks delicious!” My attention went to Iñigo who said that while he spooned the food straight to his mouth,
“Hm.. nice one, Tyler!” He added while still chewing the scrumptious delicacy right before him
“Hey! I was the one who made that, FYI!” Diane shouted back while she laid her shoulder across her chest
“OH? Really? Last time I’ve checked, this is Tyler’s specialty not yours” He said while pouting a little just to annoy his sister Diane in a most childish way.
“Oh, come on, Iñigo.. don’t you think its time for you to give Dee a chance? After all, she really did prepare that.. I just did a little help for her” Tyler said in a most tender voice as he locked Diane in another warm embrace and kissed her on top of her head
Diane giggled and returned the kiss on his cheek.
Iñigo just gave them a disgust look and then turn to my direction to smile at me and by just looking back into his eyes, I don’t wanna turn away anymore
“Hey” Diane said as she broke the kiss
“since it would be the last day of our mini vacation.. what if we go to the beach for once?” She added turning to Tyler while pouting her lips
“Wont it be nice, Babe?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Nina, are you done?”
No I don’t think I’ll ever be done with this I thought while I tried to merge an ounce of courage left with in me
The swim suit that Diane bought for me yesterday was too much! It exposes a lot of my bare skin.. at first time kong magsuot ng ganon ka-daring na swimsuit
“Ready or not, I’m coming inside.." She said as she opened the door and slid inside
"Wow!! you’re—hands down—hot!!” Diane said while she eyed me from head to toe
We’re now at the rest room in a resort near the Bustamante Villa, just a few blocks away from it.. and you’ll be graced by a marvelous view of the sea.. trying to lure you and join them under the sun
Diane could drew gasps and applauses from every men when she appeared right in front of me in a daring navy and white one-piece, complete with plunging neckline and daring side cut outs
not even bothering to pull a cover up with it..
Sanay na sanay eh.. I thought
“Come on, Nina.. we don’t have the time of our lives you know..” She said while pulling my wrist
“Teka, Diane.. I don’t think I could just flaunt around with this.. I really can’t” I said while shaking my head in disapproval
Diane took a long deep breath before she rolled her eyes and said “Nina, wala kang dapat ikahiya! Look at you! You have the curves that women will definitely die for!”
“Pero---“ I said pulling my self out of Diane’s grip
“Ugh fine!!” She said while she started scanning her Flowery Chanel bag for something
“Wear this over that”
She handled me a white see-through cover ups that reached my thigh, it was like a mini dress but doesn’t have enough coverings..
I looked up to her face and saw a smirk completely plastered across her face
“Come on, Nina! Pag ‘di mo yan sinuot.. magtatampo ako”
I opened my mouth only to close it again for I have nothing else to say, Diane seems to be serious about it.. and I don’t have a choice.. so I sighed
“Alright” I murmured while looking down at the tiled floor of the comfort room
“Splendid! Now.. let’s go”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Wow you look hot!” I heard Tyler uttered and planted a small sweet kiss on her cheeks which made her giggle a little
“Of course!” She said turning around for Tyler to see a better view out of her
“That’s why you went all the way from New York to sweep off my feet” She brushes her index finger to Tyler’s lips, which then broke into a seductive smirk
“Why.. I wouldn’t want to lose some hot mumma like you, Dee..weeew!” He whistled in a flirty wolf-like tone
“Where’s Nina, Diane?” Iñigo uttered standing before Tyler
“Oh yeah.. she’s just behi---“ She said turning around and expecting me to come out right next to her
“Nina! Come out now, will you?” She said chuckling, obviously amused with my shyness
“Coming..” I uttered softly while I tugged both of my hands behind my back
I walked right next to Diane, my head looking at the sand while I looked up slowly to be graced by Iñigo’s brown eyes
He was looking at me intently, while his jaw was left hanging open. Then he gazes up and broke into a smile
“Wow.. She’s---“ He muttered
“Yeah I know right?” Diane said while she winked at me
Then she glanced at her Fiancé and grabbed his hand
“Sweety! Let’s go somewhere else alright?”
“Oh, okay..but how about—“
“No, they’ll be fine.. right, Igo?” She said turning to Iñigo who was staring at me for awhile now
He just nodded at Diane
“Have fun, Nina.. Igo”
and by that, I followed their gazes before they completely disappeared right before my eyes
“Ahem!” Iñigo broke the silence between us as he diminish the spaces between us
I looked into his brown eyes and smiled . Are hands moved closer to each others while he grabbed my hand for him to hold and then we started walking on the sand . I felt as if we were the only people on that beach
I smiled at him before we were interrupted by a girl who approached us..
“Hi, can you do me a favor and put some lotion on my back?” The beautiful woman about our age said while she handled a bottle of lotion to Iñigo
He glanced at me first as if asking a permission while I, deep inside is kinda annoyed..
I just pulled a smile and said..
“Go ahead, I’ll be just waiting over there!” I said pointing into one of the ratan-made chairs hovering by the sand,
I walked towards that and settled my self inside for a shade. It was perfect for laying around and gaze at the breath-taking view of the sea. It has comfortable cushions with rolled neck pillows, foot rests that slide underneath when not in use and hinged side tables make this luxurious.
I pulled my glasses on top of my head and darted my direction to Iñigo and the girl, whom I don’t even know..
I rolled my eyes as I watched them. The girl seems to be having fun lying on the abaka-made mattress not even conscious with her butt exposing to a guy she barely knew
I sighed.. thinking..
He’s one of the sought-after bachelor afterall..Natural madaming maghahabol sa kaniya I thought while I closed my eyes and laid my back
“Miss..” a husky male voice uttered
I looked up and saw some random guy I barely knew who was smiling down at me. I stood up from Ratan-made chairs
“Yes?May I help you?”
“Oh yes please.. im looking for a good subject for my photos and I was wondering if you could model for me?” He pleaded while he held into his Canon Eos Rebel T3 digital SLR camera
I shook my head and said “I’m not a model.. in fact, I never was one.. and I don’t think I’ll be good enough for—“
“Oh.. mas maganda pag amateur.. fresh ang mukha sa public.”
“Hindi ako marunong eh..” I reason out
“Sige na!” I was surprise with the way he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer
“Sayang naman, maganda at sexy ka pa naman” he added
“Hindi ka ba nakakaintindi? Ayaw ng girlfriend ko” A voice uttered and came between us
Iñigo grabbed me by the hand and held me closer. He wrapped his hand around my waist and held me tighter
“I’m a professional photographer and I could envision your girlfriend in the modeling field.. why don’t you give it a try, Miss?” He said turning his direction to me
“Ano ba?!” Iñigo grabbed the collar of the man. His fist wA prepared to blow a strong punch across the stranger’s face
“Gusto mo upakan kita para maintindihan mo na ayaw ng girlfriend ko?”
“Chill Man!I thought she ---uhmm--was alone..” He said while Iñigo was still glaring at him intently
“Sige, ‘tol!” and by that, he ran away from us.. almost tripping on the process of his flee
Then Iñigo sat at the ratan-chair.. he slowly closed his eyes, thinking about something
“You shouldn’t be that hard for a poor guy” I muttered
“That guy isn’t poor. He has this overprized camera hanging over his neck”
“kahit na—“
“and besides, he was obviously not looking for a photo subject”
He sat up from the chair as he open his eyes to gaze at me.. His eyes bore into my soul and his expression was hard to read
“He was hitting on you, Nina”
Somehow, I didn’t expect something like that to come out from his mouth..
was he jealous? I thought
“Oh come on!” I went closer to Iñigo and then sat on his lap
“You were just jealous!” I playfully uttered while I brushed my index finger to his lips
He pulled me closer so that our faces were just inches apart
“Who wouldn’t be? Every man with dicks will be tempted when you’re wearing something like that..” He seductively said eyeing down my body
I chuckled a little while his arms slowly wrapped around my waist
“Ikaw nga eh, mukhang type mo yung girl na nagpalagay sayo ng lotion”
“What?!” He said, his eyes widen and he released a sarcastic laugh
“hindi ko type mga ganon, she’s skinny as sticks and doesn’t have these”
I was surprise when he grabbed one of my boobs and grope it smoothly. I slapped his hand and pushed it away from where it was settled awhile ago
“Iñigo, we’re in a public place.. ano ka ba!” saway ko while I looked around checking if someone might see us
“Oppsy! Can’t help it.. my girlfriend’s wearing a swimsuit and she’s sitting on my lap”
I gasped lightly, when he finally crushed his lips unto mine.. I moan softly against his lips as he pulled me closer, kissing me all the more fervently. As He pressed his forehead against mine as, brown orbs watching as I shut my eyes tightly and moaned his name breathlessly.
Large hands cupped my face and I opened my eyes again to meet his own, a blissful smile grazing my lips as he leaned in and kissed me on top of my head
“I love you Nina”
“I love you more, Iñigo”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were now on our way home and we’re stuck on a heavy traffic across dasmariñas’ high street
I was so tired its as if 100 kilo of something was attach on my lids and I could hear Iñigo’s complaints on how the traffic frustrates him more
Nauna nang umuwi sa amin sina Diane and texted me that they misses their baby so they wanted to have a little family bonding one last time sa pinas before going back to states
Iñigo’s Silver Lamborghini Murcielago was running out of gas so we passed by a gasoline station first before heading out our way
“Good evening, sir!” the gasoline boy greeted us as he tilted his hat
I saw a mini grocery store not so far away from the gasoline station, I thought it would be best if I grabbed something to eat ..
“Samahan na kita” Iñigo offered but I held on to his hand and said..
“Nah, its okay.. I could do it.. I wont be gone for long”
Iñigo planted a quick kiss on my lips and said
“Okay.. be back soon, and be safe”
I nodded and got out of his car.. then I walked straight to the convenient store
I grabbed into few chips and a can drinks.. before finally making my way to the counter.. good thing the store was open 24/7.. and there were few people inside that’s why I immediately had my way on top of the line
“that would be 300, maam” the cashier girl said
I handled her my 500 peso bill and then.. when I looked at the side of the counter.. there was this news stand with magazines and news papers
it was a typical news stand but something caught my eyes. It was a newspaper.. with a picture of Kendra and Iñigo…….
… kissing
And the large red printed letters on top of the picture said …“Former lovers reunited?”
I felt my heart was crushed into pieces as a tear fell helplessly down my cheeks..
“Ma’am are you okay?” the cashier said while she looked at me confuse
