Forbidden Desire

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Days passed just like a blink of an eye. It's been two weeks since mom introduced me his husband, and it's been two weeks since he started clinging around me.

He would take me to school, fetch me, buy me foods, hand me crafts for motivation, cook me meals, and sometimes sleeps in my room that I never could imagine would actually happen. I mean, just what the hell, right? Hindi ako ang asawa niya pero kung makaasta parang kami ang mag-asawa.

Kagaya na lang ngayon. Kasalukuyan siyang naghahanap ng damit for my graduation ceremony mamaya. Yes, people. Finally, graduate na ako. My life is about to begin the moment I'll accept the diploma on-stage. And I'm feeling nervous with a mixture of being thrilled.

“Cara, how about this?” he asked showing me a business suit which made me laugh.

Sa loob ng dalawang linggo, may mga pag-uugali niya ang nasilayan ko na hindi ko lubusang maisip na meron pala siya. He's funny sometimes. He would initiate corny jokes, specially whenever I'm down.

Having him around lifted my mood.

Minsan ay hindi ko na lang pinapansin ang mga matatalim na titig sa 'kin ni mama kapag nahuhuli niya kaming nag-uusap ni Lace. It gives me thrill sometimes. Thinking that mom might catch us give me thrills.

“Graduation ceremony ang pupuntahan mo, hindi business meeting,” I replied.

For the past two weeks, unti-unti na rin akong nasasanay sa baril na palagi niyang dala. I really don't know the deep reason behind him bringing gun all the time.

“I want to look handsome,” saad nito sa malamig na tinig.

Tumayo ako sa kama at nilapitan siya. My arms wrapped around his waist and my lips pressed on his jaw. “Gwapo ka naman, e.”

He look down at me and captured my lips. Narinig ko ang paglagatak ng hanger na pinaglagyan ng hawak niyang business suit kanina at kinabig ang batok ko para mas palalimin ang aming halik.

His other arm pulled me by my waist while his other hand that was used to pull my nape was now busy caressing my jaw. Sinuklian ko naman ang kanyang halik.

“Damn, huwag ka na pumunta sa graduation mo,” he mumbled between our kisses.

I pulled away and pinched his cheeks. “Silly, I need to. Cum laude kaya ako.”

He just rolled his eyes on me before capturing my lips again. Napahawak naman ako sa mga balikat nito at naramdaman ko ang kamay niyang nilalamas ang dibdib ko.

A knock on the door disturbed us. Ayaw pa sana niyang lumayo ngunit kunurot ko ang tigiliran nito. Pinandilatan ko siya ng mata para magtigil.

“Darling, have you seen Keith? Nandito na stylist niya,” tanong ni mommy mula sa nakaradong pinto.

I rolled my eyes after hearing her endearment. Irita kong tinulak si Leslie at tinalikuran. Nagtungo ako sa kama at umupo. Napansin ko namang nakasunod lang ang tingin nito sa 'kin at parang walang planong sagutin ang pagkatok ni mommy sa labas.

I raised my eyebrows at him and he took a breath. Bumaling siya sa pintuan at sinagot si mommy, “I haven't.”

Hindi ko maiwasang mapangisi. I am not as wicked as my mother, but well, I think I think I got this traits from her. Isa pa, I'm sure darating ang araw na malalaman ni mommy kung ano ang meron kami ni Lace, if that day happens, I would be the most victorious person for breaking my mother's heart.

“I don't like the way you smirk. Are you plotting something inside your head?” he asked, slowy walking in my direction.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin dito at ngumisi. Tumayo ako sa kama at nag-inat. Pinikean ko sya ng ngiti. “I need to go. My stylist has arrived. Baka ma-late na rin ako sa graduation ceremony.”
