First Kiss - LEGACY 5 (AWESOMELY COMPLETED)

What's Wrong

21

Naramdaman ko iyong maliit na braso ni Thalia na yumakap sa aking leeg kaya tuluyan na akong nagising. I sat up and looked at my nieces all sprawled on my bed. Kinuha ko iyong kumot ni Clio at inayos iyon bago ako tuluyang tumayo.

Callie yawned and opened her eyes only to close it again. Sumiksik siya kay Thalia at muli na namang natulog.

I just stared at my nieces before I kissed each of their foreheads. Thalia, Callie and Clio are my only reminder of my grandparents. Thalia looked exactly like Lolo while Callie and Clio is the spitting image of Lola. But then the three of them all have the same temper of Alessandro Montreal.

I went to my bathroom to prepare for my meeting. Isa't kalahating taon na rin mula ng simulan kong hawakan ang MCorps. Magmula noong natigil ang mga death threats dalawang taon na ang nakakalipas ay pumayag na si Papa na palitan ko si Lolo bilang CEO.

It was so weird that people who are after my life stopped trying to kill me all of a sudden. It stopped two years ago, kasabay ng pagkawala ni Ashton.

Reports say that his team did not even make it to Iran. Nasa ere pa lang ay pinasabog na ang sinasakyan nila at tuluyan silang bumagsak sa dagat. Their bodies were never found. Ang tanging naibalik sa amin ay ang mga parte ng helicopter na ginamit nila.

I rubbed myself harder just to distract myself from the pain. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nawala siya ng ganun ganun lang. He told me he'll be back. He promised me that he'll be back. Pinanghawakan ko iyon. Nagtiwala akong muli sa kanya dahil naniniwala akong may sapat siyang paliwanag kung bakit ginusto niya akong patayin.

But he did not come back. He never came back.

I closed my eyes tightly. Se, you have to forget about him. Just, forget about that guy. He is a liar. Kalimutan mo na siya. You have Noah now. Please, just please. Please, be happy now.

Gusto ko ng maging masaya kaya Ashton, parang awa mo na. Please, give me the chance to be happy now. I really want to forget you so stop entering my mind every single damn moment.

Binilisan ko ang pagbibihis para lamang maaliw at hindi na siya maisip. I opted to wore my favorite leather skater skirt and paired it with a white cropped top. Pinusod ko lamang ang buhok ko at muling chineck ang mga batang tulog na tulog pa rin.

Pagkalabas ko ng aking kwarto ay sumalubong sa akin ang amoy ng piniritong bacon. I checked my kitchen only to see a half naked Festines cooking. I watched the muscles in his back stretched as he reached for the eggs on the counter.

"Morning babe." I greeted him. Humarap siya sa akin at sinalubong ako ng malawak na ngiti.

"Hey gorgeous. Umupo ka na, patapos na ako. Are the kids up?" he asked. Kumuha ako ng plato para sa aming dalawa bago ko kinuha iyong gatas ng mga bata. Thalia is six now but she is still bottle fed. Kahit na si Calliope na dalawang taong mas bata ay sa dede pa rin nakasalalay ang buhay.
