Reever
Finally.
She was with him. In his arms. Her lips were soft and sweet. Her scent was addicting. His beautiful 'Lady In Red'.
He smiled inwardly. Wasn't he becoming so possessive already?
The first time he saw her on the dance floor. He declared at that moment that this woman was going to be his. She was so alluring with the way she moved. So tantalizing. He could almost feel his body twitch in desire.
He noticed some of the men watching her with obvious lust in their eyes. How he wanted to punch the faces of the drooling fools. But he was grateful enough that no one ever dared to disturb the dancing goddess. Until one has dared to do so.
Napatiim-bagang siya nang maalala ang nangyari sa dance floor. How he wanted to terribly hurt Andrew, his bastard of a cousin, for touching and scaring her.
Matinding pagpipigil ang ginawa niya sa sarili kanina dahil kung hindi baka nga sinaktan na niya ito ng tuluyan. And he wouldn't just settle for a punch or two. How he wanted to rip the bastard in pieces. The rage he felt was still consuming him.
And he needed this kiss to console his raging nerves. To assure himself that she was safe.
He deepened the kiss and hugged her closer but she must have felt the tension enveloping his body because she left his mouth and looked up at him questioningly.
Her cheeks were pinkish and her eyes hooded. Her lips were swollen from his kisses. Beautiful. She was beautiful.
"You're angry." she muttered assuringly.
"He touched you. Yes I am." he declared under his tone.
She smiled soothingly.
'Damn. Beautiful.'
Her hands in his chest went to circle his nape and she whispered.
"I'm fine. Thanks to you."
He dipped his head to touch her mouth again and she responded immediately.
Matagal nang nakahinto ang private elevator na sinasakyan nila sa third floor ng building kung saan ang dalawang floor ay ang kabuuan ng River, ang bagong bukas na bar na pagmamay-ari niya.
The third floor was his own bachelor pad.
He kissed her one last time, curled her to his side and guide her out from the elevator.
He settled her first on one of his couch before he went to fetch a glass of cold water from his kitchen.
Then he heard his phone ringing. It was Raymond, his friend, on the caller ID.
"Reever pare, where are you?" bungad nito pagkasagot niya sa tawag.
"Upstairs."
Kumuha siya ng baso at sinalinan ng malamig na tubig mula sa refrigerator.
"Congrats pare. I've heard a lot of compliments from everyone.They love your place. Even my girlfriend wants to meet you and wants to ask for a free pass." Wika ng kaibigan sa kabilang linya.
"I didn't know you have a girlfriend, Raymond. One of your easy lays again?" He twitched his lips amusingly.
"Cecil is different, Reev. I love her. And I already mentioned her to you earlier."
Saka pa niya naalala na sinabi nga nito kanina na ipapakilala siya nito sa girlfriend nito. Ngunit nahuli ito ng dating at may importante siyang inasikaso kaya hindi na dumating ang pagkakataon. Hindi na bago ang marinig mula sa kaibigan na may girlfriend ito. Pero ang marinig itong seryosong nagdedeklara ng pag-ibig sa isa ay nakakapanibago. He must have finally found the right woman.
