Breaking Her Rule (Jonas Lei & Kaitie Carina Story)

Chapter 18

"Jonas. . ."

"Hmmm?" He hummed as he continued giving me feather light kisses on my shoulder. He pressed his front harder on my back and I bit back my möan when I felt his bulge against me.

"M-maliligo sana-a muna ako?" Why does is sound like a freaking question?

He slid the strap of my sundress down, his hands roaming and caressing. His lips are nipping, gently bitting my sensitive flesh making me shiver. My knees are starting to tremble and my better thinking is about to fly out of the window if I let him have his way.

Baka mangyari na lahat ng mangyayari rito sa tapat ng pinto ng unit niya.

"Jonas. . ." I tried again.

He hovered his mouth on my ear and I can feel his hot breaths against my skin and it all but push me more over the edge.

"Yes, baby?" He whispered, and holy hell, it sounds freaking veneral.

Jonas Angcaya really is the master of seduction.

His hand dug on my hips, giving it a harsh but a gratifying squeeze.

"Gusto ko. . .gusto ko sanang maligo. . .amoy pawis ako." Hindi na tunog tanong pero hinang-hina naman ako nang nasabi ko.

His low and deep chuckled is the next sound I heard before he gave me one last kiss at the spiring pulse on my neck.

"Okay, baby. If that would make you comfortable." He says.

Pinakawalan niya ang baywang ko saka niya pinagsiklop ang kamay namin. He led me through the foyer, to the living room, to the hall to the right and into the sole wooden, black door.

"Ang laki." I numbled to myself which he obviously heard because he gave me one of his playful smirk.

"Of course, you know."

Namula akong bahagya. "Gago, 'tong unit mo kako. Ang lawak. Hindi iyang ano mo."

Natawa siya saka muli akong nilingon at kinindatan. "Kaya nga. Ano bang sabi ko? Alam mo kasi nakita mo na."

It's been a little over a month after we decided to rendezvous on the baby plan. A lot has happened ang changed, but one thing who remained consistent was this overly gorgeous man holding my hand and his efforts.

Not once did he miss any of my check-ups kahit na puwede namang hindi siya sumama. Sa bawat tests na ginagawa ko, he's also presents, and I'd be lying if I say he didn't make things easy.

We've been through a lot together than most couple, and hell, we aren't even in a relationship.

Though, he's been on a mission to change that.

And little by little I know he's succeeding.

I gave up fighting this feeling a week ago. The day he showed up in my office carrying a paper bag containing a blue onesie with 'made by the best mom and dad' printed on it in gold was when I capitulated.

I cried and all launched myself at him. I saw the slight panic in his eyes, but when he saw me laughing with tears spilling, he knew he did right.

Kamuntikan ko na ngang markahan ng tsek 'yong 'YES' sa bughaw na papel na inabot niya sa'kin pagkatapos. But I held myself, thinking it wasn't the right time.

After that, we're nothing but a hot mess of matted lips and hands frantic on groping and exploring each others bodies. But that's it. The only thing we've done more kissing was when I extended my help for his sperm analysis.

Ayaw niya kasi. Hindi niya na raw mapipigilan ang sarili niya kapag nagtuloy-tuloy kami lalo na't hindi pa pwede. As much as it disappoints me, I know he's thinking rationally. But what made me convinced was when he promised of stellar sëx once we get the go signal from Doctor Madelyn.

And that is today.

When I forwarded him the text, I thought he's going straight to baby making mission. But he took me by surprise when he said he wanted to take me out on a date first. Kasi hindi pa raw namin nagagawa dahil hectic ang schedule namin parehas.

Kaninang umaga pa kami magkasama. We took a road trip to Patapat Bridge. Naglibot, kumain, tinaguan si Jonas sa National Museum - na kinainisan niya pero tinawanan ko lang - and most importantly, enjoy each other's company.

I can't remember a moment in my life that I've enjoyed a date this much. And what makes it even more is Jonas admitting that it's his first time taking someone out too.

Needless to say, the butterflies on my stomach are on a rampage since this morning.

He flicked a switch beside the door a dim light illuminated his room giving in a soft glow. He has a king size bed in the middle of the room and behind it is a big glass partition for his very open bathroom.

Everything there is in black granite. He has a full body jet shower at the far left and a bathtub in a middle. One the other side is a wide expanse of mirrors and the sink.

"Na-nasaan ang pinto?" I dumbly asked.

"Wala. I get to watch a live show of you bathing." He said with a shrug.

I cursed and smacked at him on the chest making him laugh. He captured the hand I used and kissed my knuckles.

"I'm just kidding, baby. May built-in blinds 'yong banyo ko. Here, I'll come show you."

He toggled on a control pad on the wall and true to his words, a multiple raw of angled slats mechanically lowered giving the space privacy.

"Wow." I hushed out.

"Glad you like it." He smirked.

I'm still admiring the interior of his room when I yelp because of the subtle smack on my ass.

"Go shower, baby. Baka hindi na ako makapagtimpi."

I scurried and retreated behind the shutter. I heard him bellowing where to find the robes and towels but I was too busy calming myself.

We're really doing it.

I'm going to do it with Jonas.

Sh!t.

I was so immersed with my raging thoughts, still not moving from where I'm standing.

"I don't hear the water running, baby. You have to hurry or else I'll join you there."

I squealed and scampered to undress. It took me a little time to figure how to use his shower because my mind is elsewhere. Alam naman niya na wala akong experience at sinabi naman niya na siya ang bahala pero nilalamon pa rin ako ng kaba.

I scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned every part of me, especially down there. It's the least I can do in preparation.

I pat dried myself with his towels and wrap myself in his robe. Loving the feeling of me being envelope by his scent. Maximizing the use of his bathroom, I gargled some of his mouthwash. Giving myself a final once over, I breathed in courage and stepped back into where he is.

Feeling my presence, he shut off the telly. Nilingon niya ako at may mabagal na ngiting dumampi sa mga labi niya.

It wasn't of hunger or desire. It is pure admiration.

My cheeks flare making me avoid his gaze.

He sat by the side edge of his bed and spread his legs wide.

"Come here my future baby mama." He called, raising his hand midway.

I gingerly walked to him and took it. He gave me a faint tug, so I would land standing in between his parted thighs. He let go only to reach up and caress my cheek with his thumb.

"Damn, I'm one lucky bastard." He murmured, staring deep into me. His eyes shining and gleaming of appreciation.

Forget about foreplay! This is all I needed to get me ready for him.

I chewed my bottom lip. My body primed and waiting. He dropped his hand only to wrap both arms on my thighs. Hitching the hem of the robe I'm wearing, his left hand started grazing my skin up and down, always ending at the swell of my buttocks.

"What do you want to do first, baby?" He asked, deep and seductive.

I all but gasped. My senses spiraling all over the place. Smiling at my reaction, he started kissing my body against the robe. Hindi ko alam kong sadyang manipis lang ba 'tong suot ko dahil ramdam ko ang bawat halik niya sa balat ko.

"Hmmm." He murmured, moving up until he found my puckered nîpples. He unsheathed his teeth, giving my attentive nîpple a soft but demanding tug.

I moaned, bracing my hand on his shoulders. Hindi ko alam kung alin ang uunahing bigyan ng pansin, 'yong kamay niya ba sa hita ko o 'yong bibig niya na patuloy na nag-iiwan ng apoy sa katawan ko.

"Jonas." I rasped. I don't even know how to warn him that I may fall on the floor because my knees are beginning to feel like jelly's.

He nuzzled his face in the valley of my breast. He left bite size kisses until his mouth found my other nîpple. I let my head fall back when he did the same to it. But this time, it's rougher.

When I looked down, I saw carnal fire in his eyes. The coffee colored irises I adored are completely pitch black. I inhaled a sharp breath, my heart thundering when I watch him grab the ends of the robe's belt.

He was about to give it yank but something rang. Napatigil siya at kinunutan ako ng noo. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nang una, saka ko napagtanto na ring tone ko pala ang bumubulabog sa amin.

Sasabihin ko palang na hayaan na lang namin pero naunahan niya akong magsalita.

"Tignan mo kung sino, baby. Baka si Tita Keira." Sambit niya, sabay buntong hininga.

I timidly nodded my head and scuttle towards my purse on the table beside the threshold. I mindlessly took my phone out only to be confused when I saw an unknown number.

"Who is it?"

"Hindi ko alam." I answered. I gave Jonas an apologetic look. He gave me a small smile before he gestured for me to pick up the call. Saka niya tinuro 'yong pagkalalaki niya na bakat na bakat na sa suot niyang pants.

Napalunok ako saka wala sa sariling sinagot ang tawag.

"Hello? Is this Kaitie Carina Real?"

Still looking at Jonas, I replied with a gulp. "Y-yes. Sino sila?"

He started undressing, teasing me with his slow and seductive movements. I lost focused and leered at him, until I heard the woman say Inigo's name.

"I'm sorry, did you say Warren Inigo Tobias?"

Napahinto si Jonas sa pagtanggal ng butones ng suot niyang polo. 'Yong mukha niya, hindi na maipinta. I saw his jaw clenching and his face crumpling to anger.

"Yes ma'am. Ikaw po kasi ang nakalista na emergency contact niya rito. He's already inside the operating room."

I went dizzy. Then everything she said earlier came back to me, her working at the hospital and Inigo being rushed there.

"What? What happened to him? Naaksidente ba siya?"

"No, ma'am. Ruptured appendix. Makakapunta po ba kayo rito?"

"Yes. Yes! I'll be there."

She barked few more directions before I was able to drop the line. Jonas is still quiet but his face etched with contained aggravation. He's squaring his jaw and regarding with eyes that says 'tell-me-the-fücks-happening'.

"Inigo's at the hospital, ruptured appendix daw and he's for operation."

Hindi nagbago ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya. Nagtaas siya ng kilay. "Bakit ikaw ang tinatawagan? Wala ba siyang pamilya?"

"Mayroon I've been his emergency contacts for a year. Hindi pa niya napapalitan. I - " I paused. Not really sure of my next words.

Jonas watched me intently. His face shifting to that of disppointment. "Alright. Magbihis ka na. I'll drive you there."

Guilt washed over me. The day was so going well, hindi ko naman akalain na ganito matatapos ang araw namin.

"Jonas, I'm sorry. I've been looking to this night and - "

"Don't. It's fine, baby." He sighed, redoing his buttons. "Go on. Magbihis ka na. I'll wait for you outside."

I nodded my head. With my head down, I went towards his bathroom. Ngunit bago pa ako makalagpas sa kinauupuan niya, hinapit kiya ang baywang ko.

He gave me a kiss on my stomach before leaning his chin there and looking up. "I'm livid but going there is the right thing to do. I'll get over this. Marami pa naman tayong araw para rito."

I raked my fingers on his wavy hair, emitting a soft rumble from him. "Thank you, Jonas."

He left another kiss on my tummy before he ushered me inside his bathroom.

The drive is quiet. I don't trust myself talking and it look like Jonas is lost in his thoughts, too. I don't blame him if he's furious about the situation. It's really shitty.

When we arrived in front hospital's emergency room, I peered at him. He looks deflated, defeated. His eyes listless as he stared at the red sign above the intituition's swinging double doors.

"Sige na. Go look for him. Text or call me na lang kung papasundo ka na." Tugon niya na hindi tumitingin sa akin.

My heart hurt. I don't want seeing him like this.

"Jonas." Tawag ko saka ko hinawakan ang kamay niya. This is the first time I initiated it and it took him by surprise. He slowly lowered his sight and soon we're both looking directly each other. "I promise to call his sister as soon as I locate him."

He ran his thumb on my knuckles, letting go of a heavy sigh. "Yeah, you do that. Then come back to me, alright?"

"Of course."

His lips rose lopsidedly. "Good. Now, come here and give me your mouth."

I unbuckled my seat belt, him reaching out. He grabbed the back of my head, crushing me in one hungry but longing kiss. I was out of breath after and it felt like we did it because it's our last.

He rested his forehead on mine, his hand gripping me by my nape. I gave him all the time he needed until he was ready to let go.

Once I got out, I waved at him and waited for him to drive away. Bago pa tuluyang mawala sa paningin ko ang BMW niya, nakita ko pa iyong bahagyan tumigil, na para bang nagdadalawang-isip siyang iwan ako, bago ito tuluyang dumiretso palayo.

Shaking my head and huffing out my frustration. I stalked my way towards the concierge to look for Inigo.

---

"Kaitie, thank you sa pag-asikaso kay Inigo." Bati ng Ate ni Inigo nang makarating sila.

The three of them took turns to give me a hug.

It took them a while to arrive since they live outside Vigan. Inigo's already in recovery room and as per the nurse, he'll be transported to his private room in a few moments.

Hindi naman mahaba ang appendectomy kaso natagalan siya sa recovery room dahil hindi pa raw stabilized ang vitals niya. Kaya inabot na ako ng alas-onse rito.

I've been texting Jonas but a little over past ten, hindi na siya nag-reply. Pinipilit kong nakatulog na siya, but something tells me he's not.

"Wala 'yon, Ate. May pinagsamahan naman kami ni Inigo. Ang sama ko naman kung hindi ako magpupunta rito dahil lang nag-break kami."

Tita Irish gave me a sad smile. "Sana nga hindi na kayo naghiwalay. You're good for him."

I reflected her expression on my face. Kung alam niya lang ang rason kung bakit kami naghiwalay, sa tingin ko magbabago ang pananaw niya sa'kin. Laking pasalamat ko lang dahil walang nakukuwento si Nanay sa kanya kahit alam kong sa samahan nilang magkakaibigan walang lihiman sa isa't-isa.

"He's better off without me, Tita."

"He loved you dearly."

And I can't say I did love him, too. Because I didn't. I cared for him, a lot. Kaya nga ako dali-daling nagpunta rito, pero 'yong pagmamahal. It's a different thing.

The nurse came to my rescue, announcing that Inigo's already in his room and that he's awake and looking for me. We all agreed to go there at the same time as the nurse informs us that he's okay and in about two to three days, he'll be cleared to leave the hospital.

"Sir, you're family's here." She announces once she opened the door.

'Yong mata ni Inigo, diretso ang tingin sa'kin. He looked sorry and pain. Tita Irish and her husband rushed to hug him but careful not to jostle him too much.

I gave them time. His sister was right beside me holding my hand. When his parents calmed down, he looked at me with wary eyes.

"Does he know you're here? It wasn't my intention not to remove you as my emergency contact. Nawala sa isip ko." Sabi niya.

I smiled at him, trying to reassure him. And myself. "It's fine. Siya ang naghatid sa'kin dito. Don't worry about it. Ang kailangan mong gawin ngayon ay magpahinga."

Nakita ko ang mapagtanong na titig ng magulang at ate niya sa'kin. Gustong magtanong kung sinong tinutukoy ni Inigo pero walang lakas loob para gawin.

Seeing that they are already settled, I decides that it's best to leave.

"Thank you ulit, Anak." Pahabol ni Tita Irish sa'kin bago ako tuluyang nakalabas ng kwarto ni Inigo.

I leaned in the wall once I'm in the hallway. Everything is exhausting. Napagod ako hindi dahil sa pagbabantay kundi dahil sa pag-aalala ko kung nasaan si Jonas. He never mentioned where he'll wait, I just assumed he'll drive back to his unit.

With heavy breaths, I dialed his number to let him know I'm out of emergency duty but my call was pushed to voicemail.

I texted him, my mind racing on gruesome ideas. Paano kung naaksidente siya? Paano kung napaaway siya dahil galit siyang umalis kanina?

Nakaramdam ako ng ginhawa ng naka-receive ako ng reply. But it was short-lived. I felt my heart sinking at the pit of my stomach, my whole body going rigid cold.

Jonas Angcaya: I can't.

What does he mean he can't?
