Embers of Love (Isla de Vista Series #5)

Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Return

"Diretso na tayo sa amin?" kabado kong tanong.

Tumingin siya sa akin at bahagyang hinaplos ang aking hita bago ngumiti ng mah makahulugan na pahiwatig. Napatingin muli siya sa daan at pinagpatuloy ang pagmamaneho nang nagpalit na ang traffic light.

"Hindi, baby. Sa atin tayo uuwi. I told your father that we would be back but I didn't tell him when. And I certainly did not agree to take you back to that fucking house."

Sumandal ako sa kanyang kanang balikat. Umangat ang kanyang kamay patungo sa aking kanang pisngi bago bumalik sa aking hita. He caressed my inner thigh slowly before keeping his right hand there while driving.

"Are we staying at your penthouse, then?"

"Our penthouse, princess," he emphasized. "And yes, we will stay there."

I smiled. "Alright."

With a quick kiss on my forehead, he steered the car towards the left alley to the well-known BGC thoroughfare. We are currently headed in the right direction approaching his place of residence in Vista Towers, which he told me about in one of his stories.

"Should we go shop for your things or you wanna see our place first?" malamyos niyang bulong.

"Do we need to go shopping?"

"Uh-huh. To buy your necessities, snowflake. Maybe new clothes too and some other things. Penthouse mo rin naman iyon. I want your marks all over our place."

Abot tainga ang aking ngiti. "Can I buy some books for the master bedroom? Or are we not staying in the same room?"

Humalakhak siya at inaamoy ang aking ulo bago humalik doon. Bahagyang pinisil niya ang ilalim ng aking hita.

"We're always sharing a room. Pwedeng pwede mong i-renovate ang master bedroom natin, princess. You got yourself an Engineer." nakangising sambit niya.

"I got an Engineer." halakhak ko. "A Buenavista at that."

"Your lips, please. Kiss."

Inangat ko ang sarili patungo sa kanya. Pinatakan niya ako ng mapusok na halik ngunit mabilis lamang dahil nagmamaneho pa siya.

"Gusto kong makita ang penthouse, Z."

"Alright."

I smiled. "Yeah. Then we'll go shopping after."

"As you wish, Miss." he grinned.

He brushed a tender kiss on the surface of my forehead. I hugged his arm, cradling it to my chest while he probed the road and then looked at me. I feel like the most precious lady in all of human beings because of how Zeke adores me.

"I love you so damn much." aniya.

Ngumiti ako ng malapad. "I love you too."

"Of course, baby. As you should. But I love you more than anything in this world."

Natawa ako dahil doon. Hindi talaga siya nagpapatalo sa mga bagay na ganito. Gumawa siya ng dalawang kaliwa patungo sa Vista Towers. It is one of the most expensive and luxury condominium buildings. Sa Tower 1 kami pumasok at dire-diretso lang dahil alam na ng mga security guard kung sino ang taong nasa loob ng sasakyan.

"Are you excited?"

Mabilis akong tumango. "I have never lived in a penthouse before."

"Oh, this time, you own the penthouse itself, baby."
