DAVID
"When are you going to fulfill your obligation to your family David? You've been neglecting them."
When are you going to give up? I wanted to ask him that but I stay quiet.
I can hear the disappointment and frustration in my father's voice through the phone. I just shrug and ignore his nag.
"Are you listening to me?" irritable na tanong nito.
"My answer will always be the same, father. I don't care kung anu man pinagkasunduan n'yong dalawa. Labas na ako doon," I said coldly.
Paulit-ulit na lang naming pinag-aawayan ang ang ganitong pag-uusap. Kahit anung pilit n'ya hindi n'ya ako magawang mapasunod sa gusto nito.
We have a civil relationship but that doesn't mean he has the right to control my life. He lost that right many years ago. He was just too prideful to accept the fact he will never fix the relationship we had, that already broken for a long time. He will never regain the respect I had for him, he destroyed it too.
He keeps ranting on the phone but I'm not listening to his words. I lost interest. It's always the same blackmail and threat he was blubbering.
I decide to continue my work...
"---- ne! Be that way. Isapubliko ko ang engagement n'yong dalawa ng dalaga, nang sa ganoon magawa mo'ng tuparin ang obligasyon mo."
That threat caught my attention. He better not!
Napatiim bagang ako sa narinig.
"Do that father at siguraduhin kong mapapahiya ka lang. Dahil kahit anung gawin mo hindi ko susundin ang sinasabi mo. I don't give a damn about you and your company. I have my own, way more successful than you have. You don't OWN me...never been. Goodbye, father."
Pinatay ko ang tawag bago pa man ito makapagsalita. Damn him for trying to mess up my life again. Napamasahi ako ng aking noo sa kakulitan ng aking ama. Kailang kaya papasok sa utak nito na wala s'yang aasahan sa akin?
Thinking about the conversation I have with my father this afternoon made my mood turned bitter. When he's going to change? I guess... never.
I sighed deeply.
"Let me guess, you had a heated conversation with your father again?"
Napaangat ako ng tingin para tingnan s'ya. Leaning in the doorway of my home office wearing only my shirt, almost made me want to drool. She's so beautiful and mine. Just looking at her made me forget about all my worries and focus on how amazing she is.
"Tungkol sa ano na naman ang pinag-awayan ninyo?" she asked curiously.
I sighed. I can't hide those from her. She knew those issues with my father ever since anyway.
"As usual baby girl 'yong tungkol sa pinagkasunduan nilang magbusiness partner. And my answer will always be no though," I replied.
She looks into my eyes to see the truth of my words. Satisfied, she smiled gratefully and relief washes away in her face.
Wala akong balak o planong ipagpalit s'ya kahit kanino... not even my father can manipulate me to do that. I waited for her for nothing then. She's too precious to me than my father's company.
"Come here, my angel," I said hoarsely while staring at her intensely. I miss her today. She was very busy at school and I am in my business kaya ngayon lang kami nagkita na dalawa.
She walks towards me like a model, swaying her hips seductively. Looking at me with desire and playfulness. She bit her lower lips that arose me more, my buddy is waking up because of her. I waited patiently until she was inches away from me, pulling her into my lap instantly.
"Do you know how hot you are with my shirt brat?" I whispered to her ears and playfully bite her earlobe.
Hinawi ko ang kanyang buhok sa kabilang side at hinalikan ang kanyang mabangong leeg. I press my erection into her butt causing her to moan. Damn her! So responsive. Pinalandas ko ang aking palad sa makinis n'yang hita habang patuloy s'yang hinahalikan sa leeg.
"Ohhh Ash!!!" she moan. Her nails are digging in my arms but I'm used to her reaction. It's so damn hot if she does that. I love hearing her moan my name every time. All I could wish I can ravish her, right there and then. It was too painful to stop sometimes, but I don't want to rush her.
Reluctantly, I stop. I take a deep breath of her scent and control my raging hormones. It's difficult lalo na at nakaupo s'ya ngayon sa kandungan ko ngunit kaya ko magtiis makapiling lang s'ya ng ganito. Maybe later, I will have a way with her.
"I miss you baby. How was school?" masuyong tanong ko sa kanya.
Humilig ito sa katawan ko at hinalikan ako sa pisngi. "Tiring babe. I miss you too. Sorry kung ngayon lang ako umakyat dito. Marami kasi akong project na dapat tapusin at kailangang maipasa ko bago ang holiday break namin."
She was pouting while continue complaining about how hard their project was in one of her courses and how it was time-consuming.
She's adorable when exaggeratedly complains, about how stressful her second year in college is. Na kahit gusto n'ya ang kursong kanyang kinukuha hindi pa rin maiwasang magreklamo dahil mabusisi ito.
I just listened. I love hearing her voice. I won't be tired of hearing them. It's become my stress reliever. Kung sa iba, hindi nila gusto ang madaldal na girlfriend, ako naman love it when she shared her daily activities or even gossip.
I find it adorable and cute when I watch my bratty angel talk with her expression, portraying every words she said. Sanay na ako sa kadaldalan n'ya lalo na kapag kami lang na dalawa ang nag-uusap.
Brat man ang tingin ng iba sa kanya, sa'kin she's only being herself. Being raised in a loving family, she's abundant with so much love and spoiled with the material thing in life. She may be a brat to others but for us who truly knew her, she is a sweet, caring, and loving person.
My bratty angel. Christina Angela Gonzalez. The only woman who owns my heart, body, and soul. The moment I saw her when she was a baby, I know she was made for me, to love and cherish forever. I became her knight and protector growing up. Now her lover and this our secret affair.
Not because we wanted to hide our relationship or be ashamed of it, but because we want less drama for a while. To get to know each other on our intimate level without everyone watching our every move.
We both agreed on this set up especially now that my father is pushing me to an arranged marriage. Wala akong ibang papakasalan kung sakali kundi si Christina, kung ako lang matagal ko na s'yang pinakasalan.
Only with my angel, I can be myself. I could talk to her for more than just a sentence and show my emotion and vulnerability. She long passes the wall I build around myself and she discovered who I am beneath the calm and silent persona I mask. She and my brother are meant so much to me, and also my best friends.
Christina is my light. The beacon in the darkness in my life. The reason I'm living and breathing every day. Sa kanya lang ako humuhugot lakas para sumikap mula noon upang bigyan s'ya nang magandang buhay ngayon.
I waited 18 years for her to love me back and those years of waiting for her were worth more than I could imagine. She's very much worth waiting for. Being here with me, holding, kissing her proves it all.
"It's ok baby. Alam kong kayang-kaya mo 'yan. You're intelligent. Tsaka pangarap mo naman ang magawa mong abutin. Besides, you also need a stress-free holiday so you could enjoy it. But I will miss you here baby girl."
Sa mansion kasi s'ya ng kanyang mga magulang titira pagkatapos ng klasi nila for holiday break. 2 weeks na hindi ko s'ya makakasama sa pagtulog. Nasanay ako na katabi s'ya halos gabi-gabi. Every weekend lang kaming hindi magkasama o kapag nasa isla ako.
Napayakap ito sa'kin para lambingin ako. I groan when she moves in my lap to adjust our position making my buddy react again. She giggles and kisses my lips hard but she pulled back before I could respond. I almost pout. Damn!
"I will miss sleeping beside you, babe. Kahit makikita kita madalas iba pa rin talaga ang makatabi kita sa pagtulog dito. Pero babawi ako pagbalik ng pasukan. Spend time with your brother and your best friends Ash. We'll be alright. " nakangusong sabi nito na may konting lungkot sa kanyang mga mata.
"I know baby girl. I understand. Someday we could openly express our relationship. I have a feeling though, that our family and friends in RdA Island had an idea of what happening between us. They are just waiting for us to confirm their suspension and respect our decision to keep it hidden for now, " I stated.
Alam kong nagbubulag-bulagan lang ang mga kaibigan ko sa relasyon naming dalawa, hindi rin nila ako pinapangunahan na umamin. Tsaka kung hindi lang sa kakulitan ni Angel, gusto ko sana noon na makatapos s'ya sa kanyang pag-aaral bago ako gagawa nang hakbang para mapasa-akin s'ya, ngunit nagbago ang desisyon ko nang s'ya mismo ang nagpakita ng interest.
"Maybe on RdA Island fiesta, we could announce about us, babe. For now, I want you for myself alone without them breathing in my neck. I'm selfish when it comes to you, Ashton. I will fight alongside you if your father will go against us. Your so-called fiancee better back off," she exclaimed. She hugs me possessively like I'm going anywhere right now. We are both possessive after all.
I hug her back, murmuring sweet words in her ears, and caressing her back reassuring her that I won't let her go. We stay hugging each other for a few minutes before she reluctantly sits properly in my lap, making me groan again because my buddy is still hard beneath her. She giggles, loving the effect in my body that is very responsive also when it comes to her.
"By the way babe, pasalubong ko sa hallway sina Ace, Philip, Azel, and my brother, Angelo. They asked me where I'm going and when I answered in your condo, they just nod then Azel said; 'Ah okay. Say hi to kuya David for us' and leave. I was dumbfounded because as if they are expecting it, but when I was going to study in my male friends' house they always acting protective monkeys on me." Kwento nito na hindi makapaniwala sa nalaman, na s'yang ikinangisi ko nang konti habang nasa mukha niya ang pagtataka at nakanguso sa reaksyon ko.
So adorable! I peck a kiss on her lips. As I said, hindi bulag ang mga pamilya namin, at kung meron man ang unang nakakahalata nito ay ang mga binatilyo dahil sila ang madalas maka-witness ng pakitungo ko sa kanya.
"You remember when you celebrated your 13th birthday and had a tantrum? You and Laura wanted to go with the boys, nang magpaalam ang mga ito na gumala dahil nababagot na sila sa princess party mo?"
She pouts again when she remembers the scene.
" You didn't want them to leave unless you and Laura would come, because you two knew they are going in somewhere fun too. They didn't agree, so you threw a tantrum about it. They tried to calm you down but you didn't listen and continued being a brat. I happened to be there too and I sternly called your name so that immediately you stop throwing a tantrum. You looked at me with pouty lips and misty eyes but I shook my head. They were shocked for a while and when they realize you were distracted used the opportunity to escape. Mula noon may idea na sila sa magiging relasyon natin," I continued, shaking my head when I remember how bratty she was at that age.
She blush. Nahihiya ito minsan kapag ikinikwento ko sa kanya ang childish at bratty na ugali nyo noon.
"You only listen to me baby girl since you were a kid and even now. I don't care about your brattyness because I found them adorable. I won't be surprised if they knew we have a relationship. They had it coming and accepted it more than those boys lamely courting you before. Haven't you noticed no one passed in their expectations," I added? She playfully hit my arms.
The boys are very protective of her and Laura. Halos walang lalaki na makalapit sa kanila simula ng magdalaga ang mga nito. Azel, Philip, and Ace being the same age as her and Laura are their protector and scared away those who dare to get under their pants with their false love.
"I guess you're right, my Mr. Knight and shining armor. My dad and grandpapa are my kings, my two brothers are my princess, and you're my only true love and Knight. Thank you for waiting for me."
She passionately kisses me and I respond with the same intensity. Our tongues dart out dancing together as our lips meet. I ran my palm into her leg again, causing her to shiver. I groan hearing her moan on my lips. I want to taste her. Reluctantly I pull my lips. We both panting and our forehead press together.
"Did you eat your dinner baby girl?" I asked. Confused with my out-of-the-blue question she nods.
I smirked.
"
So did I my angel. Now, I want my dessert with you."
Quickly, I stand up carrying her from my lap, making her squeal from shock, and hug her arms around my neck. I walk out from my home office going to my... our bedroom.
"Ashton David!!" Her eyes go wide when she realized what I mean. Her face was scarlet red which I love to see all the time.
Grinning, I wink at her.
"You're my dessert baby girl tonight," I stated hoarsely pouring my desire and lust in every words I uttered and into my eyes.
Her eyes dilated matching the burning fire within me.
"Then I'm yours," she answered.
"With pleasure."
