Seduction 101

32-Label

She does not know where they are going.

It was 6 pm at kaka-out lang nila.

Ang sabi nito ay antayin niya ito sa entry way and he'll pick her up. Mataman naman siyang naghihintay.

Until now, she couldn't believe that they had a steamy encounter in his office.

They made out for pete's sake!

They cuddled the whole afternoon. Rome cancelled all his appointments and settled at the sofa.

They kissed and touched but never the home base. May katinuan pa naman siyang natitira.

And right now, while she's waiting patiently on him ay hindi niya mapigilang kabahan.

Saan sila pupunta?

Her thoughts was awakened when a car parked in front of her. Hindi na niya kailangang manghula kung sino ang nagmamaneho niyon.

Rome got out from the car and smiled. Ngumiti siya pabalik.

Never in her life she thought na darating ang araw na iyon.

Rome opening the front door of his car for her.

Rome and her, kissing.

Rome and her, cuddling.

Rome and her.

But until when?

Hindi niya mapigilang hindi mag-isip.

Paano kung magsawa ito sa kanya?

Paano kung isang araw magigising siyang isa rin siya sa mga babaeng pinaiyak at pinaasa nito.

What if...

"Ysabelle?" She snapped.

"May problema ba, mi bella?" Rome looked worried. Napailing siya.

Hindi niya namalayang napatanga na pala siya sa kakaisip.

Sino ba namang hindi mag-iisip?

Hindi niya alam kung ano ang lugar niya sa buhay nito.

They kissed, yes.

Pero sa araw-araw na nakakasama niya ito ay napapatanong siya.

Ano nga ba siya sa buhay ni Rome?

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Rome appeared in front of her. There's a glint of weary in his eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

She smiled.

"Oo naman. Let's go. Saan ba tayo pupunta?" She asked while hopping inside the car.

"That's a secret, mi bella." Napaingos siya.

Malalaman din naman niya mamaya.

Rome got inside the front seat and put the engine to life. Minutes later, they are hitting the highway.

She remained silent, hindi rin naman ito nagsasalita.

"What are you thinking?" She looked on his side and gave him a comical look.

He snorted.

"Tuwing tahimik ka, napapaisip ako. Napapatanong. Ano bang iniisip mo? How I wish I could hear your thoughts." Turan nito. Napangit siya.

"Wala nga akong iniisip. Am just enjoying the road, looking around." Napailing ito.

"Liar." He said.

She shook her head and focused on the view outside the car.

After a short trip, the car stopped and she looked around.

They stopped at a magnificent subdivision.

The view of the place was eye-capturing.

Naglalakihan ang mga bahay sa paligid at nagkikinangan sa mga ilaw.

But what caught her attention was the modern bungalow in front of them.

She blinked.

The bungalow's gorgeous.

"Mi bella, welcome to my humble abode." She closed the door of the car and admired the sight in front of her.

The bungalow was styled meticulously.

Tanging itim at puti ang kulay ng kabuoan niyon at mukhang mamahalin ang lahat ng kahoy.

The rope was painted black.

Rome smiled and held her hand.

"Come." Rome said.

Rome fished a key in his pants and opened the thick door.

They step inside and she greeted by the receiving area. The couch was colored black and white, so as the floor.

Parang spade ang loob ng bahay.

Connected to the receiving area's the bar and follwed by the kitchen.

Para ding setting ng bar ang loob niyon, may stools at kitchen counter.

Sa gitna naman ay may pahabang misa and she smiled when she saw the head rest of the chairs, it's white.

Lalaki nga talaga ang nakatira doon.

Napansin niya kanina pagpasok nila ay may glass na hagdan.

Maybe it led to Rome's room.

They settled on the kitchen counter and Rome stared at her.

She smiled awkwardly.

"What?" She asked.

Ngumiti ito and folded his long sleeve.

"I'll cook." Napatanga siya.

Cook? As in pagluluto?

Rome? Rome knew how to cook?

Narinig niyang tumawa ito.

"Yes, baby. I can cook. Surprise?" And she gasped when he stole a peck from her.
