CHAPTER 1
1043 Words
Benedict is staring at his wife Beth. She is facing the vanity mirror and applying some lotion on her soft naked body.
The lower half of his body is covered by white towel because he just got out of the shower.
He walked slowly to his wife and kissed her shoulder.
"Why do I miss you so much even if we are always together?" he asked.
Beth turned around and faced him. She put both her hands around his neck.
"You tell me, hon," she answered and kissed him.
They kissed hungrily like they never did it for a year. Beth is already naked, so he just let the towel slide on the floor and carried Beth to their bed.
He started kissing her neck to her collarbone to her br*ast.
"Uhh, hon!" she moaned.
He squeezed it and licked her n*pple.
They were loosing it when suddenly Cassy their daughter cried.
They let her cry for a second. But Benedict coudn't concentrate. He is about to stand up and go to her daughter when Beth stopped him.
"No, hon. She will stop if she gets tired. Please continue what you are doing."
"No, Beth. I'm going to her room. She must be scared." He walked to his closet put some clothes and went out to their room to go to his daughter.
Naiwan na naiinis si Beth. Nagtakip na lamang siya ng kumot at hihintayin ang asawa. Halos isang buwan nang walang nangyayari sa kanila ng asawa dahil sa pag-iyak ni Cassy ng wala sa lugar.
It took an hour bago muling nakabalik si Benedict sa kanilang silid. His wife is covered by a blanket. He tought she is sleeping. But when he sat on the bed. She quickly got up and sat on his lap.
"Ituloy na natin and naudlot kanina," Beth said.
"Wala na ako sa mood, hon! I'm sorry. Grabe ang iyak ni Cassy, nanaginip na naman daw siya. Napapadalas ang panaginip niya ng hindi maganda." Marahan niyang inalis ang asawa sa kanyang kandungan.
Hindi ito nagsalita na halatang nagtatampo. Ngunit hindi niya ito iniisip. Mas nag-aalala siya sa anak.
"Maybe, she can sleep here in our room for a while," he continued.
"What? No! Kaya nga may sariling room siya hindi ba? Ang usapan ay tuturuan natin siyang maging independent."
"Pero, napapadalas ang masamang panaginip niya, Beth."
"You know what? Mas mabuti pa kung kumuha na lang tayo ng nanny. May kakilala ako na pwede."
"Mahirap ngayon humanap ng ganyan. Mahirap ipagkatiwala ang anak natin sa iba. She is aloof. Baka hindi lang nila maintindihan si Cassy."
"No, hon. I trust this girl. I was her regular customer in a coffee shop. She was the barista."
"Was?" he asked.
Niyakap ni Beth ang asawa na ngayon ay nakahiga at nakalagay sa likuran ng ulo ang isang kamay.
"Yes. Buti na lang ay naroon ako. Dahil kung hindi, ay baka na r**e na siya ng manager nila. Muntik na siyang mapagsamantalahan. Kaya ngayon ay wala na siyang trabaho."
"Tatanggapin naman kaya niya ang pagiging yaya?"
"Oo naman. She needs it. Nag-aaral pa kasi siya. Graduating na. Kaya kailangan talaga niya ng pera."
"Wow! Mukhang kilala mo na talaga siya, huh!"
She laughed.
"Yes, we were able to build friendship. And, guess what? She never had a boyfriend, pero mayroon daw isang guy na hindi niya malimutan. Kaya nga lang hindi na niya alam kung nasaan."
"Okay, that's personal na. Ayoko na malaman pa ang detalye. Papuntahin mo na lang siya rito bukas, nang makilatis ko rin."
"Sure! Para mas marami na tayong oras." Then she kissed Benedict. Tumugon ito at muling uminit ang kanilang mga katawan.

"BETH, thank you talaga, huh! Nakakadalawa ka na sa akin. Samantalang ako ay wala pang nagagawang mabuti sa'yo."
"Samantha, nakakainis ka. Kanina ka pa paulit-ulit diyan. Ang alagaan nang maayos ang anak ko ay malaking kapalit na."
Beth is now driving going back to their condo. Sinundo nya si Samantha sa University nito upang ipakilala sa asawa.
Hindi naman siya nahirapan pilitin itong mapapayag na magtrabaho sa kanila as nanny.
"We just live in a Condo. Ginagawa pa kasi ang future house namin."
Nakita ni Samantha ang pagpasok ng sasakyan ni Beth sa isang Exclusive condominium.
Sa canopy mismo huminto ang sasakyan. Beth gave the key to the vallet.
Then, they entered the building. Everyone there was greeting them.
Nailang si Samantha.
She heard Beth lauged.
"My husband owns this whole condominium kaya expect mo na ganyan sila kagalang sa'yo."
Nakasunod lamang siya sa kaibigan.
Pumasok ito sa elevator at pinindot ang 16th floor.
She was looking at Beth na medyo nakauna sa kanya ng bahagya. Hindi niya akalain na magkakaroon siya ng kaibigan na ganito. Mayaman, maganda at sopistikada.
Ting...
The elevator opened.
She followed her.
Then finally, they stopped at the room 1601
Ito lang nag-iisang room sa 16th floor. This looks like a Penthouse.
When Beth opened the door.
Samantha entered. She can see some expensive and detailed interior.
White and blue theme.
Light colors that match every furniture.
"Mommy!"
Samantha heard the little girl called her mom. This girl hugged her mom. Hanggang bewang lang ito ni Beth.
"Cassy, this is Samantha. She is your nanny."
Lumuhod si Samantha upang maabot ang bata.
"Hi, Cassy. My name is Samantha but you can call me, Sam."
Bahagyang lumapit si Cassy kay Sam.
"Wow, you are so beautiful, Cassy."
The little girl smiled a little.
"Y-you too. You look like a princess," Cassy answered her with low voice. She is obviously soft-spoken.
"A princess? Why do you think so?"
"Sometimes, I imagined a face of a princess and I describe them as you."
"Coincidence. Because I describe my princesses looking like you."
Then Sam touched Cassy's hair.
Kumunot ang noo ni Samantha nang makita ang pagpikit ng bata, nang simulan niyang haplusin ang buhok nito. It's to obvious that this girl likes it. But it's not normal and she knew it. There is something different about Cassy.
"Hon, come here. She is Sam ang tinutukoy ko sa'yo."
Samantha heard Beth. Kaya agad siyang tumayo at lumingon sa pwesto ni Beth.
At lumaki ang kanyang mga mata sa taong nakita na katabi nito!
"Sam, this is my husband. Benedict Suarez."
