Blood: Under the Shadow of Love

Chapter Five

I left my room and went downstairs to go to the kitchen and have a drink. Tangina naman. Iinom lang ako pero ang haba pa ng lalakarin ko.

Should I be satisfied that I'm in a nice house or should I be upset because it's too big and a hassle for me? It's early morning so I don't know if I should go back to sleep. Habang umiinom ng tubig ay napatingin ako sa labas.

May mga lalaking naglalakad paikot ikot lang dito sa lugar. It's really impossible to get out of here. Bawat sulok ng bahay na ito ay may mga nakabantay.

I was completely caught off guard when I heard a sudden voice behind me, causing me to almost jump out of my skin.

I turned around abruptly and saw that it was Archer standing behind me. He had caught me by surprise by appearing unexpectedly and I felt startled by his sudden presence.

“What?” I stared at him.

“Why are you here? It's still early,” he asked, seeming genuinely curious as to what I was doing.

Natigilan ako sa biglaang tanong niya at medyo nataranta ako. My thoughts began running wild and I felt uneasy under his penetrating gaze.

“I was just getting some water,” I answered straightforwardly.

I felt a bit embarrassed and awkward being caught off-guard by the situation, but I wasn't going to let him see that.

“Really? Water? At this hour?” He said with a smirk, seeming a bit amused.

His response caught me off-guard and I felt a bit embarrassed of my actions.

“Yep, I was thirsty. Is there a problem with me getting some water at this hour?” I replied, feeling a bit uncomfortable with his questioning.

“Well, I'm thirsty too,” he smirked, coming closer to me as he held the glass that I was holding. He then made me drink the water and I followed him into doing so, surprised by his sudden close proximity.

Then, he grabbed my shoulders and put his lips on mine. I was surprised by the sudden action and I froze, completely shocked and caught off guard.

I was surprised by the sudden gesture and couldn't help but feel a surge of unexpected butterflies in my stomach. My heart fluttered and I felt stunned and almost speechless at this unexpected development. Natigilan ako ng todo pero hindi ko rin maitatanggi na nagustuhan ko ang paglapat ng labi niya sa labi ko.

Archer continued kissing my lips, his lips gently caressing mine. I could feel the tender and passionate way that he was kissing me and I felt the butterflies intensifying in my stomach.

It was a magical moment and I couldn't help but sink into the feeling of his kisses, losing myself in the sensation.

I tried to back away from his lips but he held onto me firmly, gently forcing me to continue our kiss. I felt my heart pounding and my breath became shaky as I was unable to break off the kiss.

“We should stop…” I mumbled with a sigh, trying not to let myself get carried away by his lips. It was hard to resist but I tried my best to pull myself away from him.

“No, we shouldn't,” he replied with a boldness that surprised me, not giving up on our kiss.

I couldn't help but feel overcome by his passion and intensity, unable to deny how arousing it was to be kissed like this. He was so insistent and his boldness was attractive.

He pulled me in towards him again and I felt tempted to keep kissing him even though I knew we should stop.

Humakbang pa siya papunta sa akin kaya naman napapaatras ako. Nagpatuloy kami sa gano’n hanggang mapatigil ako nang tumama ako sa lamesa. Napasinghap ako nang walang kahirap hirap akong binuhat ni Archer at pinaupo sa ibabaw ng lamesa.
