POSSESSIVE 21: Knight Velasquez

CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 8

TE QUIERO means 'I like you' in Spanish. Nalaman 'yon ni SM pagkatapos niyang halughugin ang internet kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng sinabi sa kaniya ni Knight. Some articles says it means 'I want you' as well. Te quiero is like the lightest version of Te Amo. It's an affection confession but not as deep as Te Amo.

It's like saying 'I like you' to someone. Romantically speaking.

Malakas siyang napabuntong-hininga. Sana sinabi na lang ni Knight sa lengguwaheng naiintindihan niya na gusto siya nito, hindi na pinag-research pa siya kung anong ibig sabihin nun.

But why does he likes her anyway? Wala naman siyang ginagawa rito na magugustuhan nito? Wala rin namang espesyal sa kaniya. Bakit nga ba?

He keeps on kissing me though... does he want the same thing as normal male? Sex?

Napatingin siya sa pinto ng banyo niyang nasa kuwarto. Si Knight ang nagluto ng hapunan nila. He can actually cook— pili nga lang ang kaya nitong lutuin at hindi kasing sarap ng luto ng butler nito pero puwede na.

And after their dinner, she went to her room to rest and he followed. To her shock, he said he's taking a bath in her bathroom!

Sinabihan niya itong may banyo sa ibaba pero matigas ang ulo nito. He wanted to bath in her bathroom— in her personal bathroom! Hindi talaga ito nakinig sa kaniya.

Napailing na lang siya saka isinandal ang likod sa headboard habang nakaupo sa uluhan ng kama niya.

She was reading a book, passing the time while waiting for Knight to come out from her bathroom.

Ilang pahina na ang nababasa niya sa librong hawak ng bumukas ang pinto ng banyo. Awtomatikong doon tumuon ang mga mata niya at napatitig siya kay Knight na nakahubad-baro.

He's only wearing a rugged jeans and he's topless.

"Huwag ka ngang ganiyan sa harapan ko." Kaagad niyang rekalmo kahit maganda ang pangangatawan nito.

"Boss, 'di ba sabi ko naman sa 'yo, aakitin kita?" Wika nito.

Napailing siya saka natigilan ng nilapitan ni Knight ang backpack nito saka kumuha ng damit doon. At dahil nakatalikod ito sa kaniya, kitang-kita niyang maigi ang likod nitong puno ng pilat.

Some are old, some are new!

SM felt her hands tremble while looking at Knight's back. Then pain he might have felt because of those scars— the pain— the pain must have been too much! These scars on his back— these must be the reason why he has a high pain tolerance!

She can feel pity towards Knight. And fury towards the person who hurt Knight like this.

Tapos pinagsusuntok pa niya ito. I'm so sorry, Knight.

Kaagad ibinalik ni SM ang tingin sa librong binabasa ng matapos magbihis si Knight at bumaling sa kaniya.

She acted like she didn't see his back. Siguradong hindi nito gugustuhing makita niyan 'yon tulad ng ayaw niyang makita ng iba ang mga pilat sa likod niya.

Napatingin siya kay Knight ng kunin nito ang libro na hawak niya saka itinapon iyon sa paanan ng kama.

"What are you—"

SM stops speaking when Knight's knee rested on the bed, beside her, his hands pressing against the headboard, both his arms are caging her while his face was moving near hers.

This closeness... this should be suffocating for her but she's used to it. Being taken care of Knight while she's sick made her comfortable with him around.
