Unsuccessful Landing II: To Crash on His Arms (COMPLETE)

𝓚𝓪𝓫𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓪 25

It won't be easy. Nahihiya ako sa naiisip kong gawin para maakit siya, pero pakiramdam ko walang mangyayari hangga't hindi ako kumikilos. I'm getting impatient. It's shameless of me, but I want to hold him now.

I wanna have him.

I carefully planned out the things I wanted to do to seduce him. I have a list of it. I just hope it will be effective. I can do this!

First, provocative clothes!

We'll be having lunch out for today. Late na ako nagising dahil sa pagod mula sa bonding namin kagabi ni Tita, idagdag pa ang jetlag. While Santi is with Tito in his office. Ayon nga kay Tita, ginawa nilang agahan ang trabaho.

I pulled out a white dress from the closet. It's a turtle neck, long-sleeved style, but a body-fitting dress. It has a hole in the cleavage part, showing a bit of my proud globes. It ends past half my legs. A conservative, but provocative dress. Bagay na bagay sa plano ko!

I wore a khaki coat over it, and a pair of white knee-high boots. Nagtagal ako sa harap ng salamin para masiguradong perpekto ang suot at make up ko. I'm sure he will be shocked with my get-up for today. Cause I'm not the type who puts this much effort just for a casual lunch outside. I usually do this just for formal parties we need to attend. Kaya siguradong maninibago siya kapag nakita niya ako!

I grin at my reflection. Excited na ako sa magiging reaksyon niya!

"Darling, are you done? We're going now."

Saktong tapos na ako nang kumatok si Tita. Malawak ang ngiti ko ng buksan ko ang pinto. Tita cover her mouth as she scan me from the bottom, to the top. Halos maging bituin ang mga mata niya na bahagyang ikinapula ng pisngi ko.

"Wow. You look fabulous! You are so gorgeous, Maxine hija!"

"Thank you, Tita." Namumula ang pisngi na sabi ko.

She can't stop staring at me as we walk down the stairs. Pulang pula ang pisngi ko sa mga papuri niya. She is very beautiful and to receive a genuine compliment from her feels amazing. I feel more confident because of it. May hiya pa rin, pero kakayanin!

"Santi is already inside the car. He's still busy with calls from the management his father assigned him to work on. That boy just can't sit still. We told him to rest and enjoy, but look at him! He asked his father to give him legal-related work!"

"I told him the same, Tita. I'm worried about his health. He only sleeps six to four hours a day. In fact, he doesn't sleep at all when his exams are near!"

"Hindi talaga nagpapapigil ang batang 'yan." Tita replied in Accented Tagalog. "All we can do was just leave him be. He'll take a rest on his own if he needs to. He's just like his father."

We went outside the house. The car is waiting in front of the house and there is Santi leaning on the passenger side. Napatayo siya ng maayos nang makita kami, ngunit agad din natigilan nang mapasadahan niya ako ng tingin.

Isinantabi ko ang hiya. I smile at him and went to kiss his cheek. He stare at me like I will disappear if he stops looking. Hindi ko matukoy kung anong nasa isipan niya dahil nakatitig lang siya sa akin. He looks amused but confused at the same time. Parang hindi niya alam kung anong uunahin.

"Enough staring, son. We all know that your girlfriend is gorgeous. You look like a lovesick fool right there."

Santi blink and clear his throat. Tila wala sa sariling binuksan niya ang passenger seat. Hindi niya maalis ang tingin sa akin kahit nung alalayan niya si Tita papasok sa back seat. Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang ngising gustong kumawala dito.

I knew he would be shocked, but not like this. He can't keep his eyes off me!

"Stop it! Focus on the road, Santi!" Sinabi ko nang mag-green light na at hindi pa siya umuusad.

Humalakhak si Tita sa likod. Santi lick his lips and cover his mouth with his knuckles. Natawa na din ako nang mapansin ko ang pamumula ng tenga niya. He's not easily swayed but look at him now. He's so adorable!

"Why'd you have to dress up like that? You look so beautiful." Now it's my turn to blush.

Nasilip kong nakangiti sa aming dalawa si Tita. Like she's watching her favorite romantic movie. She looks beyond happy.

We arrived at the restaurant. Halos kami lang ang nag-uusap ni Tita habang kumakain dahil nakatitig lang si Santi sa akin. Tita is teasing him about being head over heels for me and he even looks proud of it! Nawala na sa isip ko ang gagawin kong misyon para sa trip namin na 'to.

We went shopping after lunch. Hawak niya ang bewang ko habang nakayakap ako sa braso ni Tita. Tahimik pa rin siya. Kung hindi nga sa init ng katawan niyang nakadikit sa akin, I would think he's not here with us. Hindi naman ako nag-alala dahil natural naman talaga siyang tahimik kahit pa sa mga lakad namin noon. I was the talkative one in our relationship.

Palubog na ang araw nang mapagod si Tita mag-ikot. We were about to go home but Tito reserved a restaurant for our dinner instead. Humabol siya sa amin mula sa trabaho kaya ang tahimik na si Santi ay nagkaroon ng kausap. We ate in a five star restaurant and now we're having wine.

Magkatabi kami ni Santi at nasa harapan ko naman si Tita Lucia. She's telling me their love story. I've heard their story before from Santi, but listening to Tita made me feel like I'm in the story, watching it unfold. The way her eyes sparkle whenever she mentions Tito...the way she smiles and laughs... it's love. It's true love.

Napatingin ako kay Santi. He's saying something to his Dad. I wanna hold his hand but he's holding the wine, while the other is resting on the table. Nahihiya naman akong hawakan ang kamay niya sa itaas ng table dahil nandito sila Tita. I just had this sudden urge to touch him. Anywhere is fine. I just want to feel him.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa hita niya. He won't mind if I rest my hand on his thigh, right? Ginagawa niya naman sa akin 'yon lalo na kapag nagmamaneho siya. I like it. I wonder if he'll like it if I do it to him?

Mabagal akong sumimsim ng wine at pasimpleng binaba ang kamay kong nasa lamesa. I didn't look when I place my hand on his thigh. I felt him stiffened then he got silent. Ngumiti ako kay Tita na nagku-kwento pa rin sa harapan ko. Pinakiramdaman ko ang katabi ko ng hindi lumilingon. I acted like it was all natural for me to do that. I even rub it softly.

"Son?"

Natigil ang kwento ni Tita nang tawagin ni Tito si Santi. Sabay kaming tumingin sa kaniya. I met his gaze. I saw his throat bob up and down, making me smirk. Binasa niya ang labi niya bago napailing. Then he lower his hand to cover mine that's on his thigh. I thought he will remove it, but boy I was wrong!

My eyes widen when he slid my hand up until it's centimeter away from his crotch! Parang nahulog ang puso ko sa kaba. I tried to remove my hand but he stops me. Kinulong niya ang mga kamay ko doon!

He lean on my side. I flinch when his hot breath touches my nape. Para akong matutunaw sa lapit niya.

"You started it, baby," He whispered. "Now, make sure you finish it."
