Under the Billionaire's Possession [R18]

(29) See Her Again

Stone's POV

"Diane, I'm leaving the casa to you. I won't have my dinner here later and I'll be back late at night," I said as I attached the buttons on my sleeves.

Mas maaga ako ngayong aalis dito dahil may lalakarin pa ako sa kabilang bayan. And I have 2 more meetings just for this morning and another 3 in the afternoon.

Napatingin ako sa direksyon ni Diane na ngayon ay nasa ibabaw ng aking kama.

Her hair is a bit of a mess and she just woke up. She's not looking at me but rather she's eyeing the two birds chirping outside my window.

Hawak-hawak niya ang aking puting kumot na tanging tumatakip sa hubad niyang katawan.

I stopped and walked towards her direction before sitting on my bed. Itinukod ko ang isa kong kamay sa higaan habang nakatingin sa kanyang mukha.

Diane's side profile was like sculpted by a fine sculptor. Her small yet sharp nose adds definition to her face, her long and thick eyelashes define her eyes, and her swollen lips were redder than before.

Naibaba ko ang aking paningin sa kanyang leeg habang dahan-dahan na inilapit ang aking bibig sa kanyang balikat atsaka 'yon hinalikan.

She didn't flinch which made me smile a little bit. I traced her shoulder blades using my lips before reaching the crook of her neck.

"Stone." Aniya atsaka mahinang itinulak ang aking dibdib.

I wrapped my arms around her waist while pressing her nape using my other hand to kiss her neck more.

"S-Stone, anong ginagawa mo?" Mahina niyang saad na halos maging bulong na.

I opened my mouth and suck the skin of her neck gently and licked it using my tongue.

"Kissing my wife." Tipid kong sagot atsaka siya tinignan sa mukha.

Hindi na siya nagsalita pa ulit at mas hinigpitan pa ang pagkakakapit sa kumot na tila ba natatakot ito sa oras na bumaba iyon.

"You're still hiding those?" Wika ko habang nakatingin sa kanyang dibdib na tinatakpan niya ng kumot.

"I already saw every inch of you Diane. Wala nang saysay ang pagtakip-takip mo ngayon." Dagdag ko pa.

I reached both of her cheeks while maintaining eye contact. Napakurap ito ng ilang beses dahil sa aking ginawa.

"Don't cover them." Napalunok ito sa aking sinabi bago dahan-dahan na umiling.

"D-Diba aalis ka? Hindi ka ba mahuhuli sa pupuntahan mo kung hindi ka pa aalis ngayo--"

"Don't. Ever change the subject." I caught her off before.

I stared at her eyes for a few seconds. Nang makita ko ang takot sa kanyang mga mata ay bigla akong natigilan atsaka umiwas ng tingin.

"Yeah, you're right. I have to go." Payak kong sabi nang hindi siya tinitignan.

Napayuko ito atsaka tinignan ang kumot. I stared at her for a while before reaching her face. Hinawi ko ang ilang hibla ng kanyang buhok na tumatakip sa kanyang mukha bago ito pinatingin sa akin.

I leaned closer and closer until I reached her lips and gently kissed it. Pinagdigkit ko ang aming mga noo matapos ko siyang halikan.

"Eat on time, okay? I'll call from time to time to check on you," I said while rubbing her cheeks using my thumb.

Hindi ito sumagot kaya hinayaan ko na lang. Pagsasabihan ko na lang si Aling Cena na dapat niyang siguradohin na kumakain si Diane ng tama rito habang wala ako.

"May gusto ka bang ipabili?" Tanong ko pero hindi parin ito sumasagot. She just shook her head.

"Okay, I gotta go." Tumayo na ako atsaka kinuha ang aking cellphone at susi ng sasakyan. I took my suit and wear it while looking at her.

After looking at myself in the mirror, I walked past my bed and went straight to my door. Napahinto ako habang nakahawak sa doorknob atsaka siya nilingon ulit.

Dammit, I don't want to go.

Madiin akong napapikit bago umiling atsaka tuluyan ng lumabas sa aking kwarto. Deretso lang ang aking tingin sa harapan at hindi na ako lumilingon pa.

I just need to get out of here before I throw myself on my bed with her and decide to stay in the casa the whole day.

Alpha men don't do that so I better get going.

FEELING exhausted, I pinched the bridge of my nose before looking at my phone. May natanggap akong text mula kay Roezl kaya binasa ko 'yon kaagad.

We're meeting Hayden later. Prepare your gun.

Napangisi ako bigla at bigla na lang napatayo mula sa aking kinauupuan. I took my suit that was resting above my chair before wearing it.

They finally reached out to Hayden's older sister named Blaire. She prepared a dinner with Hayden without knowing that he would share a table with the three of us.

Dumiretso kaagad ako sa aking sasakyan habang nakatingin sa aking relong pambisig. It's almost 8pm in the evening.

The moment I stepped my foot inside the car, I automatically started its engine and drove away from the company's basement.

"Nasan na kayo?" Sambit ko sa kabilang linya habang nakatapat sa aking tainga ang aking phone.

I dialed Roezl's number to ask for some updates.

"Kakakuha ko lang kay Caleb--Hey, man! What's up? Papunta ka na rin ba?" Bigla kong naranig ang boses ni Caleb sa kabilang linya.

"Ako na muna ang kakausap sa'yo. Roezl is driving for me-- Ulol! Anong driving for me?" Their voices are mixing on the other line.

I rolled my eyes while grinning. We talked for a while as I parked my car in a vacant area.

Pinutol ko na ang kabilang linya dahil papalapit na rin daw silang dalawa. I turned off the engine as I roamed my eyes in the entire place.

This diner looks fancy. May maliit na bridge pa ito bago ka makakapasok sa loob. And there's a little pond underneath with some water lilies.

Saktong paglabas ko mula sa aking sasakyan ay may pumarada ring isang kotse sa tabi ng kotse ko. Roezl and Caleb got out of the car and greeted me.

"Nervous?" Roezl asked.

"Tss! Kinakabahan kayo? Si Hayden lang 'yon!" Pabalang na wika ni Caleb atsaka ngumisi.

The three of us started to walk inside the diner and looked for Hayden. May nag escort sa aming isang babae papunta sa isang mesa na nasa pinakagilid.

A man sitting on a chair while facing the fancy menu book caught our attention. Hindi kami pwedeng magkamali, ito na nga si Hayden.

Basing the way he sits, looked at the menu book and his style, it was really Hayden. Narinig kong napahinga ng malalim si Caleb bago umuna sa paglalakad patungo sa direksyon ne'to.

He suddenly stopped when he reached at his side and curled his fist in a ball, showing some of his veins. Napahinto sa pagbabasa si Hayden atsaka napatingala kay Caleb na nasa tabi niya lang.

I saw how his eyes widened and froze for a split second.

"You f*****g asshole." Caleb hissed before taking Hayden's collar in a swift and made him stood up in an instant.

"Caleb," Hayden said. Matapos ng ilang taon, sa wakas at tuluyan na rin naming narinig ang kanyang kalmadong boses. It was calmer than before and gentler but there was a hint of confusion.

Halatang nagtataka ito kung bakit nasa harapan niya si Caleb. Bigla siya dinala ni Caleb sa labas ng restaurant habang nakahawak parin sa kwelyo ne'to dahilan upang mapatingin sa direksyon nila ang ibang kumakain dito.

Some of the restaurant staffs immediately approached the both of them but Roezl stopped them.

"Everything is fine. Don't worry, our friend won't kill the man." Roezl said and gave them his best smile. Kaagad naming sinundan ang dalawa sa labas, saktong paglabas naming dalawa ni Roezl ay nakita naming itinaas ni Caleb ang kanyang kamao sa ere.

Caleb hits Hayden on the face but he doesn't even budge.

"Tangina mo, Hayden, ang kapal ng mukha mong bumalik dito sa Pilipinas matapos ang lahat. That's for leaving the group without any f*****g valid reasons." Madiing sambit ni Caleb sa kanya.

Hayden faced him and looked at him straight on the face. Bumuwelo na naman ulit si Caleb ng isang suntok pero bago pa man ito lumapat ulit sa pisngi ni Hayden, kaagad kaming tumakbo ni Roezl papalapit sa kanila.

"Caleb, that's enough," Roezl said. We are about to stop his punch when Hayden held Caleb's fist in mid-air. Natigilan kaming tatlo nang sumeryoso ang mukha ni Hayden bigla.

"Letting you hit me again will cost your bones to shatter. Do you want to take the consequences?" Biglang nagsalita si Hayden at mas diniinan ang pagkakahawak sa kamao ni Caleb.

Binawi ni Caleb ang kanyang kamay mula kay Hayden atsaka ito binigyan ng isang masamang tingin. Both of them stare for a while before flashing a wide grin. Caleb pulled Hayden for a hug and tapped his back. Sinuklian naman din ito kaagad ni Hayden at masayang niyakap si Caleb pabalik.

"Gago ka, san ka ba kasi nagpunta!" Napatawa si Hayden bago humiwalay.

"Just choosing my own path to take. I'm sorry for not reaching out in 6 years." Napatingin si Hayden sa direksyon namin ni Roezl. The moment he looked at me, his smile grew wider.

"Stone, nakabalik ka na rin pala sa Pilipinas." Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya atsaka ito nilapitan. Roezl and I gave Hayden a hug before walking ourselves back in the diner and start chatting like there's no tomorrow.

WE laughed, drink, and catch-up Hayden's life. He finally told us his reason for being MIA in 6 years. According to him, he's trying to build his own life and legacy without the presence of his parents. Hayden tried everything he can to choose his own path.

Hayden's parents are controlling freaks so he's doing anything in his power to prove that he can stood up on his own without their help nor presence.

Isa pa, hindi gusto ni Hayden ang plano ng mga magulang niya para sa kanya. Ayaw niyang matulad sa nakatatanda niyang kapatid na si Blaire na palagi na lang sunod-sunuran sa magulang nila.

"So Roezl, how's married life? I heard you marry Rhin." Kaagad na napangiti si Roezl sa tanong ni Hayden atsaka ikinuwento sa kanya ang kanyang naging buhay simula nong nagpakasal na ito at nagkaroon ng pamilya.

Hayden also asked Caleb but knowing him, he was still in the stage of 'playing around'.

"What about you Stone? Naisipan mo na ba ring magpakasal?" Deretso akong napatingin sa kanya bago ko inilapag ang aking mga kubyertos sa ibabaw ng aking baso.

Silang tatlo ay napatingin sa akin at halatang hinihintay ang akin sagot.

"I... No, I'm not." Kumunot ang noo ni Hayden sa aking sagot.

"Why? Wala ka bang babaeng napupusoan ngayon?"

"Ako meron." Bigla kaming napalingon kay Caleb nang magsalita ito bigla sa gilid. He drank his beverage before continuing to speak.

"I like Diane." Natigilan si Hayden sa sinabi ni Caleb.

"You do?" Hayden's voice sounds intrigued.

"Yeah."

"Romantically?" Seryoso akong napatingin kay Caleb nang itanong 'yon ni Hayden sa kanya. Both of us are waiting for him to asnwer.

"Hmm, I like her body and her face... but no, not romantically." Napasandal naman ako sa kaing kinauupuan atsaka kinuha ang aking inumin.

"I see... speaking of, how's Diane? Nakatira pa rin ba siya sa casa, Stone?" Nilingon ako ni Hayden habang nakangiti. I gulped my drink before saying something.

"Yes. She's living under my roof." Forever.

Tumango-tango si Hayden sa aking sinabi habang nakangiti. Napatingin ito sa kanyang kamay bago ako nilingon ulit.

"How is she? Tell me about her, Stone. Matagal na rin mula nong huli ko siyang nakita at nakausap, I wonder if I can pay a visit in your casa." Napatitig ako sa mukha ni Hayden habang nakahawak sa aking baso.

"Gusto ko ring bumisita ulit sa casa." That's Caleb.

"I bet my wife Rhin would love to pay Diane a visit again as well." Si Roezl naman 'yan.

"Is it okay with you?" Hayden continued while playing the glass in his hand. Napatingin ako sa kanyang kamay bago ko siya nilingon ng deretso sa mukha.

I remained silent for a while before flashing my smile at him.

"Sure, that won't be a problem." Isang malapad na ngiti ang ibinigay sa akin ni Hayden sinalinan ang kanyang baso at ganon din sa akin.

Hayden raised a toast and clashed his glass against mine before drinking his drink.

"Can't wait to see the casa again..." He uttered while looking at the golden liquid in his glass. Napatingin ito sa akin atsaka ako ningitian ulit bago magsalita.

"And also, Diane of course." he continued which made looked at him straight in the eye.
