The Mistress in Brooklyn

Chapter 31

He bit his lips before he threw his stare at me. "I thought I couldn't take you here anymore," he said before taking his right hand away from my thigh.

"Bakit naman?" I chuckled.

"You know, you're not an easy woman to get. That's why I thought it would take me years to bring you here again," he added.

"Don't mess with me, Love." Tumawa ako. "Marupok ang girlfriend mo. You know, you can get me in just a snap."

"Believe me," he chuckled. He held my left thigh again and leaned on me. "Do you want me to go into more detail?" nang-aasar niyang sabi.

Nang marinig ko iyon sa kanya ay biglang nag-flash sa isip ko iyong mga ginawa kong pag-iwas sa kanya noon nang sabihin niyang gusto niya ako.

Actually, I don't know that I'm not easy to ask out because Philip got my yes so easily. So when he said that, I realized that I was one.

Marami nang nagsabi sa'kin noon na kaya nilang ibigay sa'kin ang lahat, isa na ron ang apelyido nila. They told me I didn't deserve to be a mistress and that I would be better off as a wife.

I only realized it now because Dior made me feel that way. That I shouldn't be number two if I can be number one in his heart.

I don't deserve to hide in a cave like I did in my past relationship because he can tell the world he loves me.

That I don't deserve love without surety.

Dior made me feel like I could be a wife to be proud of and not the one that should be hidden.

"I'm sure Manang will be surprised," aniya.

Bumaba siya ng sasakyan para pagbuksan ako ng pinto. When he opened the door for me, I swiftly slung my bag over my shoulder. Nilahad niya ang kamay niya sa akin na agad ko namang tinanggap para alalayan ako.

"Let me hold your bag."

Wala na 'kong nagawa nang kunin niya iyon sa akin. Sandali akong natigilan habang pinagmamasdan ko ang boyfriend ko. When he holds my purse in his enormous grip, it appears small to him, so I burst out laughing when it looks like a wallet to him. Ang laki-laki kasing tao.

He's trying to reach my hand and when he realized that I'm not beside him, natigil siya sa paglalakad. Agad niya akong hinanap at napagtantong kanina ko pa siya pinapanood. His eyebrows furrowed, followed by a smirk.

"Yes, my lady? Why are you staring at me?"

My cheeks flushed like a cherry when he said that.

"Nothing. Ang gwapo mo kasi," nakangiti kong sabi.

Walang ano-ano'y agad ako nitong siniil ng halik bago niya padulasin ang kanyang kamay sa aking bewang. He pulled my waist against him before he stopped and whispered in my ear.

"No puedo esperar para casarme contigo, mi amor. (I can't wait to marry you, My Love.)" aniya.

Hinalikan niya ako muli sa pisngi bago kami nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Nakatingala pa rin ako sa kanya, nagtataka kung anong binulong niya sa akin.

"Love, hindi ko naintindihan. Ano 'yun?" nakanguso kong sabi.

"Secret..." nang aasar nitong sabi.

"Love?" I pouted.

"How can I refuse?" he smiled and rolled his eyes playfully. "I said, your kiss keeps me coming back for more."
