Jake was busy looking and reviewing all the reports from his hotel and resort in Bohol through his email that her secretary sent when Bea walk in front of him and went to the kitchen.
Gustuhin man niya itong pagsilbihan but Bea refused.
Im happy to do it tho..
She said she doesn't want to get used to it.
He felt like he got stabbed ten times when she said that in his face but he knows she didn't mean to make him feel bad.
Bea still innocent in some things. And he is much more willing to give her time to know more.
Jake continues his work when he saw a cup landed on his desk.
Nag angat siya ng paningin at naka ngiting Bea ang nakita niya.
Dang baby! I can live more than 100 years if everytime like this..
He automatically put a sweet smile to his lips and motion kisses to her.
"Baliw!" sambit nito saka lumayas sa harapan niya.
"Matagal na akong baliw sa 'yo.. Ngayon mo lang napansin?"
Bea turn around and face him with wide open eyes.
Napatanga ito sa kanya.
Nagkibit siya ng balikat at tumingin sa computer.
Bea agreed to live with him—that's the time he became the happiest man on earth —while waiting for her to be pregnant, of course it's his idea.
And Bea just working through her computer—because she can't go to her company in her situation —its been already a week since the day they made love.
It's good that his body got used to her presence already.
But his horniness is killing him, it's last day tho.
He got excited all of a sudden just thinking that now is the last day of Bea's medication.
He has been drooling over her since how many days already.
He look at her, this time she's now sitting—but most likely confuse.
"stop looking at me.. Hindi ako maka hinga!" sikmat ng dalaga na nakaupo sa sofa habang nakatutok sa laptop nito.
"Anong hindi ka maka hinga, can you please humor me cookie? " ngisi niya.
"Ah basta! Ano ba kasing ginagawa mo sa akin?!" sikmat nito.
Tumaas ang isa niyang kilay at pigil ang pagtawa.
"Anong ginawa?, I'm working here woman—"
—"Then just work and don't look at me! Because you're making my heart beating so fast and I don't know why!. Just don't look okay?" litanya nito.
Ngumisi siya at umirap naman ito.
"You mean, your heart is beating so fast while you have butterflies on your stomach and it's like your having some —"
—"Jakey.. Naiinitan din ako sa tingin mo, Lang'ya naman e, may apoy yata 'yang mata mo.. Argh! Basta stop looking!!"
Jake blows a loud laugh making Bea looking at him with narrow eyes.
He's happy.. If only his woman knows what is really happening to her, then he would be the happiest man on earth already.
And she's a romance writer.. And still innocent?
" Okay! " he said it in sing-song voice and focused on his computer when suddenly he heard Bea's mobile is ringing.
Naka pout na naman ito, he put one of his fingers on his lips and bite ot just to not make any reaction that Bea would hissed at.
"Yes Ging?" anang dalaga na naka taas kilay.
Most of the time her facial reaction made his day.
"No.. No.. I'm.. Ahhm..what were you saying?!!" halos hysterical nitong sambit.
Nagkunwari na lang siyang nakatutok sa laptop kahit all ears naman siya sa dalaga.
Ang cute lang kasi nito, lalo na ngayon at pulang pula ang mukha.
"Inararo?" kunot noo nitong sambit.
Fuck?!
Halos alam na niya kung anong sinasabi ng kausap nito.
"Hoy babae!. Hindi ako lupa tang'na ka.. Paano ako araruhin ba?!" tili nito.
Lumingon ito sa kanya at lumabi ito. He cleared his throat and blink three times just to hold his laughter.
What the heck??
Did they just talk dirty to her??
He should have feel mad but, No. Bea have her own circle of friends and he should not invade her own life.
Bea is blushing, she can feel he face is burning.
"What the heck Ginger?! Hayop ka, kapag ako makalabas dito sa lungga ko babae ka, lintik lang ang walang ganti nimal ka!"
Argh!! That site didn't have the chance to teach me!!
She shut her eyes, she doesn't want to look at Jake, because she doesn't want to embarrass herself.
She couldn't blame her friends, they don't know her plans and happenings in her life at this point.
I will just cross the line when I get there.
For now, she should focus on how to get pregnant before she go back to New York to face her real world.
"Bea, ilang ulit ko bang sasabihin sa'yo na Jake is a good catch bakla.. Hey Cathy, what the heck? Cathy is there too??! And oh, Beatrice ilng beses na kaming pumunta sa bahay mo, walang katao tao kaya huwag ka nang mag deny pa okay?" –she can imagine how Ginger brows is high right now.
Paktay na!
" Hey Bea baby" it's Cathy.
"What?!" sikmat niya, na tinawanan lang ng kausap.
She stood up from the sofa and walk to their room—Jake's room—while talking over the phone.
Hindi na siya nag abala pang tingnan ang binata.
"Gurl, don't you know that your fish is a good catch? He's the most talk bachelor and the great attorney in town gaga!" tili nito.
Napa buga na lang siya ng hangin.
If only they know.
Sorry guys. Magkukuwento ako pagdating ng panahon.
She feels sorry for them but she needs to.
" Sige na, papasok na ako bukas sa company, I will drop by to your café tomorrow Cath, bye!" she cut the call without hearing her friend saying bye to her.
Napa tanga siya sa kama, it's nice to have Jake but at the same time it's scary.
He's good, she didn't see him yet at his worst.. Wait.. Bampira ba talaga? Ilang gabi na kaming magka tabing matulog e.
And she did not see him yet making just any changes.
Malambing lang ito. Laging nakayakap at lagi nitong gusto na sa braso nito siya nakaunan lagi.
And for that, Bea just drowned to her thoughts.
Jake is twisting his head, a little genuine smile on his face while thinking how Bea gone wild talking over the phone.
She's cute.. And I can't get over her.
Now he's thinking on how he could make her stay by his side while she's pregnant so he can take care of her.
He knows some woman who is struggling on the pregnancy thing, his kuya Samuel's wife is the craziest.
He was once a victim of Samuel's command — to buy for heart shaped coconut..
Mother f*****g uno!.
He laughed at himself. Well, it's nice to have a pregnant wife tho.
Wife...
Natigilan siya sa laman ng isip. But well, he's much more than willing and happy to have her as his wife.
He's ready tho... Anytime.
Bea is somehow thinking about herself when Jake enters her office.
She's working her ass off this day, for one f*****g week that she didn't come to work, natabunan ng mga folders ang mesa niya.
Now she's taking over on the publishing company that her father built for her.
Though she's a writer, she needs to focus too to make this company a successful one.
Hmm. Should I start to write again?
"Hi gorgeous!" masuyo nitong sambit.
"Hey" sambit niya na hindi tumingin dito.
Naramdaman niyang umupo ito sa harap ng mesa niya na nagsisilbing upuan ng bisita.
"What you doing here?" sambit niya sa pagitan ng pag pirma.
Pasimple siyang suminghot dahil sa nanuot sa ilong niya ang pabango nito.
Ang bango naman this boy..!
"Taking you home" maikli nitong sabi.
Home..
How I wish I could call you my home.
But she—of all people —knows that it cannot be.
Nalungkot siya pero hindi niya hinayaang mahalata iyon ng lalaki.
"You done baby?" malambing nitong tanong.
"Nope... Go, I will pass by to my friends Jakey.. Sana tumawag ka muna kasi" narinig niya ang pagtawa nito.
How can you melt my heart so easily.
Just his chuckle, his wink, his smiles can make her heart melting or should she rather say... Burning.
Nag angat siya ng mukha ng wala siyang marinig mula dito.
And she was daze in seconds when she saw him taking pictures using his phone!.
The heck?!
"What's that for?" takang tanong niya after she smiled at the camera and pose some, she even make a heart shaped fingers that made Jake laughing.
"Madaming lamok sa bahay, gagamitin ko para lumayo sila akin" and he wink.
Huh??
Napatanga siya dito, ngising ngisi naman ang gago.
"What do you mean?" she's frowning and Jake is just giggling.
"So they'll know that there's someone who needs my body and strength most especially at night—he wink sexyly— And for that, they will not suck my blood to cause any problems or sickness" anito saka dumukwang sa mesa at tinuwid ang pagitan nila and put wet kisses on her lips and went out to her office.
Naiwan siyang tulala.
Ano daw? What's in his mind??
Why would I need his strength at night tho??!
Napailing siya saka nagmadaling tinapos ang lahat ng kaya niyang pirmahan.
Jake is grinning while entering RR's bar.
"What's up bro?" sambit ni RR at umupo sa tabi niya.
He shrugged his shoulder and drinks.
He spotted Geoffrey entering—in their private glass room —with a bottle of rhum, tinted ang glass walls at nakikita nila sa labas, while people doesn't see them inside.
It's their haven in RR's kingdom.
"Hey buddy!" he did manly tap on each other's shoulders with Geoffrey and sit back.
"You okay man?" takang tanong niya sa pinsan.
Geoffrey nodded while RR is just looking at them —one after the other—that somehow makes him cleared his throat.
Before he can talk, RR spoke that makes his jaw dropped.
"You're in love brother!" ngisi nito.
Am I that transparent??!
"who's in love?!" Adrian said, hindi niya namalayang nakapasok na pala ito.
And the f*****g RR just shrugged his shoulder while grinning.
Asshole!.
"Wala.. Nasa tabi tabi lang na hindi kayang pangalanan ang laman ng puso at isipan!" pabale walang sambit pa nito.
Sarap lang hambalusin at sampalin ng mag asawang left and right amputa!.
He grab the bottle of beer and hand it with his middle finger raising and showing RR.
RR just smirk and said nothing.
"What the heck bud.. Kung ako nga na inlove sa mahabang panahon na, hindi ko maamin amin e.. Putik na to!" sambit naman ni Adrian na ikina ubo niya.
"Man, you're sucks in love department dude!" suntok naman ni Geoffrey kay Adrian.
And so do I..
I'm afraid to tell her, because I know she's still not going to know her feelings.
She's innocent and first in this thing, and I don't want to push her out too much.
Yes, he loves her so much.
But he doesn't have to pull her out to her innocent world just to have her.
She can't even sense everytime I'm giving her a hint.
How many times did he use pick up lines to her already.
And all that he can have as a response was just a confuse looks.
Ahh.. Im hurt..!
He can just go straight to the point and tell her he is in love with her for more than years now.
"You okay bud?" Adrian tapped him on his shoulder making him come back to his senses.
He nodded and smiled lopsided.
"What if we go camping, I mean rock climbing man, to have a break?" Geoffrey said.
"Hindi ako puwede bro. I'm busy" sambit niyang naka labi.
"Work?" anang Adrian.
"Or with girls?" Geoffrey added.
"Well, good luck brad.. Looks like you're ready to step on Samuel's footsteps now—"
—"What do you mean?" kunot noo niyang sambit kay RR.
"To be the most Understanding man on earth bro!" sambit nitong naka ngisi.
"Damn! You're on trouble bud!" sambit ni Adrian na tinungga ang beer.
Well, Love comes in different shapes.
And mine is circle.
No ending point.
And if love comes with trouble, then so be it.. He can make it though.
