LoDi Unexpected Love

LoDi #2

LBMaskara Episode End Scene

"Wow, gentleman ka naman pala, eh. " Biro ni Diane nang pagbuksan siya ni Lorenzo ng pinto papasok sa sasakyan nito.

Nginitian lang siya ng binata.

Diane could tell the changes he had and she really wanted to be friends with him. For the Cardinal family, she told herself, she considered them as her own and Lorenzo is a part of it.

So far, talagang maayos na ang samahan nila. Hindi na siya nito sinusungitan at pansin talaga niyang nabawasan ang pagka beast mode nito kapag may hindi ito nagugustuhan.

As she sat down, umikot naman ito papunta sa driver's seat.

Hindi niya maiwasang mapangiti dahil, ewan ba niya, basta masaya siya sa pakikitungo sa kanya ngayon ng boss niya.

Nakaupo na si Lorenzo, pero hindi pa niya nasusuot yung seatbelt, mukhang ayaw sa kanya.

Napansin naman ni Lorenzo na hirap siya.

"Ako na, Diane." Nagulat ang dalaga ng bigla na lang hinawakan ni Lorenzo ang kamay niya na pilit na humihila sa strap.

And that made them both looked at each other.

Lorenzo leaned over her, his face got close to hers, and Diane felt his hot body almost pressing her.

She felt something clench at her stomach. And Diane saw how Lorenzo gaze at her parted lips.

'Oh, no! Hahalikan ba niya ako!?!' Diane felt herself panic, but she couldn't do anything.

Although her mind was telling her to push him away, her body was anticipating what would happen next.

Lorenzo was having an inner battle with himself. He knew it wasn't right, he knew he had to stop. But Diane's nearness, her scent and her soft body were temptations.

As his eyes dropped and stared at her lips, he felt the urge to taste those sweetest lips again.

But out of nowhere, Diane's words came back to his mind again..

"... Hindi porke't may nangyari na sa atin, gusto na kita.. Mamahalin kita. Hindi ganoon kadali iyon! Hindi!
I'm sorry, Sir... Pero hindi ikaw  iyong tipo nang lalaking mamahalin ko. Hindi ako naniniwalang mahal mo ako."

Agad na iniwas ni Lorenzo ang tingin niya kay Diane at inayos ang seatbelt nito.

"Yan, okay na." He said and sat straight.

Si Diane naman ay hindi pa rin makagalaw.
'What'd happened?' She looked at Lorenzo who started the engine.

"Sa tagal mo nang nagtatrabaho sa amin, sa akin, ngayon ko lang mapupuntahan ang bahay mo. Okay lang ba talaga sa'yo?"

Tanong sa kanya ni Lorenzo at nagsimula nang magmaneho.

'Ganoon lang iyon?'  Sa isip ni Diane. O baka siya lang ang nakaramdam ng kuryente kani-kanina lang?

"Diane, are you okay?" Tanong ulit ni Lorenzo nang mapansin niyang ang tahimik pa rin ng dalaga.

"Ha?! Yes, okay lang ako. Ano nga ulit yung sabi mo?" Medyo may iritasyon sa boses nito.

"Ahm. Nilalamig ka ba? Hinaan natin yung aircon?" Napansin ni Lorenzo ang mga kamay ni Diane na nakayakap sa mga braso nito.

"Err.. Medyo."
