My Pretend Niece

C 1.1

Chapter 1.1

Caine

“KEYS!” I snapped.

Agad akong pumihit pabalik sa loob ng kwarto pa kunin ang susi ng kotse.

Damn. Nababalisa ako na sobra dahil sa sinabi ni Nikka. Baka naligaw na si Nassy at hindi na alam kung paano pupunta rito.

Bakit naman kasi pinayagan ni Jix ang makulit na iyon na lumipad mag-isa. Wala akong kaalam-alam. Tulog ako sa kandungan ng babae.

After getting my keys, I turned around immediately to leave. Agad akong bumaba at dumiretso sa pinto. Agad ko itong kinabig.

I almost literally dropped my jaws when I saw this gorgeous teen in front of me when I opened the door.

Nandito na ang babaeng hahanapin ko.

Thank God!

“Daddy Caine!” she screamed my name and jumped at my doorstep like a five-year-old kid who saw her newest toy.

What the f**k?

I widened my eyes in surprise. Is she for real? Para akong binuhusan ng yelo sa kinatatayuan ko. Kahit na alam kong nag-flight na siya, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nandito na siya ngayon.

My little Kisses.

She was supposed to be here next week.

I can’t help but to take a closer stare at her for a while. She had long blonde straight hair that reached her spine, a pointed nose, and pink sultry lips.

Iba ito sa debutante na nakita ko sa video? Balot siya noon ng pulang lipstick sa labi, katerno ng kanyang mapulang princess gown.

Dalaga na ang anak ni Jaime Rix de Lorenzo. Papasa si Nassandra bilang isang modelo ng mga branded na damit, sapatos at bags. Sa ganda nitong taglay, kulang na lang ay mag-audition ito para sa isang pelikula o teleserye para maging artista.

She was really beautiful in her lightest brown shade of eyes, with long curly lashes just like her Mom. She has a cute mole beneath her left eye like her Dad. Her natural pink lips today are in perfect pout, and not to mention her dimples which I loved the most.

She must’ve convinced her father that good to let her live here, far from the overprotective Jix.

Oh, I was the one who convinced that motherfucker. But I did that just to grant this bratty girl's request because she wasn’t talking to me over the phone when I said I never liked her idea of staying here with me. I never knew Jix would even agree. He was guarding his only daughter like a mad dog. But now she’s here, all those damn obligations are on me.

Agad ko siyang napasadahan ng tingin.

She’s wearing a s**t!

Her shorts was too short and her blouse hung above her navel, exposing her bare small waist and her – oh s**t! She has developed a nice pair of boobs. Her cleavage is peeking, inviting. Why was I even thinking this way?

Oh hell, Caine Walker, she’s like your daughter! Don’t look at her the way how you look at those women who were willing to spread their thighs apart without any of your single commands!

“Holy s**t, Kisses. Is that you sweetheart?” I can’t help but smile at her and she even blushed a bit as she smiled.

Pilit kong inayos ang sarili ko. Tumingin ako lagpas sa kanya dahil napansin ko ang ilang lalaki na nakatingin dito, mga basketbolista ng subdivision.

Agad na uminit ang ulo ko pero hindi ako nagpahalata. Mukhang mapapasubo ako rito. Mukhang gagana ang aking batas militar.

God, she looks like heaven.

I returned my gaze to her.

She has a really lovely smile and a timid deceiving look, but I know her well. She isn’t timid. She’s bubbly and a very tough young girl. She’s a great resemblance to her parents, a strongheaded little tigress.

I just don’t know if she still is. When I left her before I went to Afghanistan and fought the hardest battle of my life, she was that young sweet twelve-year-old cute teen who was a true replica of her father, only that she has that brown set of eyes, which she inherited from her mother and those pair of dimples from her ‘fucker’ Dad.

I and Jix made sure that no one could ever touch this girl who turned out to be a fuckable one now. Holy moron! I’ll kill any bastard who will even dare touch my Kisses! Nobody must. Surely that dumbass will face my gun. Well, mine isn’t just a gun, it will be a f*****g machine gun along with a bag of grenades!

Napakunot noo akong muli nang makita ko ang panibagong grupo ng mga kalalakihan na nakatingin kay Nassandra, na para bang isang piraso siya ng karne.

Normal na dito ang mga ganung uri ng tingin. Wala ako sa Pilipinas, pero Pilipino ako at nasanay ako na hindi tumitingin sa mga babae ang lalaki nang hindi karespe-respeto.

Talaga ba? E ako? Ano ba ako?

Why am I even counting myself?

Knowing the people here, they’re used to some sort of girls who wear clothes like what Nass' is wearing right now, but why are they staring at her butt like they've never seen a woman like her before?

“Turn around,” I commanded her but she kept on looking at me.

I managed to look at those teenage guys with one of my deadly gazes. But when I look at her eyes, I can see how she greatly misses me and I miss her, too; only that I’m not vocal about it. I’m keeping it, I always do.

“I said turn the f**k around.” I made it more demanding but she pouted and rolled her eyes.

Oh, here she is again. She’s still my bratty Kisses. She’s still so really sassy and a little spoiled kid.

Ang nakasimangot niyang mukha ay pinag-partner-an niya ng mga nakataas na kilay.

“You’re so sungit! You should’ve just hugged me, Daddy Caine.” She spat as she turned halfway.

“Later, sweetie.” I can’t help but smile at her sassiness as I look down at her butt and s**t!

Lumaki ang mga mata ko.

She’s wearing ripped white shorts yet she has a red stain! She has her period!

“Son of a wench, Clariz Nassandra! Get in.” I dragged her arm and she almost landed on my chest.

Hindi niya napaghandaan ang ginawa ko.

“Aw! Careful, you old man!” her eyes dilated and the heck I found it sexy.

I want to see her eyes dilate differently while doing a different thing.

Oh shut the f**k up! I commanded myself. What the hell is she doing to me? I left her like a cute little kitty but now she has grown up gorgeous.

I never found her Mom so attractive before – no, what I meant was Ate Nikka was a beautiful woman, too, but I never had any potent attraction toward her. And why the heck do I find Nassandra so seductive and… stop.

Christ! She’s a lot different from her Mom. She’s bolder and smarter.

I never imagined seeing her again after almost six years and it brought me a different feeling!

Jesus, why the hell I find her so womanly gorgeous despite her age? Baka masunog na ako sa impyerno dahil sa mga kaisipan ko na ito. Hindi ito tama. Walang tama rito.

Ganito ba talaga ang magiging tingin ko sa kanya paglipas ng anim na taon na wala ni hoy o ni hay?

She’s only eighteen! Now I regret why did I help her convince her Dad to live here in Walla Walla and stay with me for the longest time. I now find it so hard to imagine. But maybe, I just miss her this bad that’s why my mind keeps on making different indecent thoughts about her. She’s like my daughter and I’m her godfather. Jesus Christ!

Huminga ako nang malalim.

Yes, I’ll stick with that. She’s not counted as one of those slutty bitches that I can f**k.

“Brat. Why not give me a hug?” I whispered and it made her giggle. Geez, she’s way more than her Mom. She’s a perfect upshot of Nikka and Jix.

“I miss you, grumpy old man.” She said as she clung her arms over my nape, and almost jumped off the floor.

“Jesus, Kisses. Careful.” I mumble as I catch her butt but she just giggled again. I can feel the thumping of her heart.

I could feel her face buried into my neck and felt her sniffing me. Thank hell I already took my shower after spending the entire night with that woman I met.

Mabuti at wala na siyang alam sa mga babae ko. Nass would probably bring that little tigress again out of her cocoon. She’s always jealous about those slut I’ve dated and I knew she’d always feel the same way by now.

Naalala ko noon, parati siyang galit kapag nakikipag-date ako. Napakaselosa niya pagdating sa akin. Gusto niya ay kanya ang atensyon at ang lahat ng oras.

I could still remember those times she was terribly upset. She was only 10 years old at that time when I visited them with my fiancée, Winslet. Nass cried like a lunatic when I told her I was going to marry my girlfriend. She ran upstairs and cried like a baby. Nagsasalita siya ng mga bagay na hindi niya halos alam, masasamang salita tungkol sa ex ko...

“She’s ugly and I don’t like her for you. There’ll be no woman in this world who will suit you! I will hate you forever if you’re going to marry that douchebag! I don’t want you to get married.”

“Please, don’t be selfish, sweetie,” I softly said but she gritted her teeth.

“I always am and I will always be when it comes to you! If you’re going to marry her, you must forget me then!”

She never talked to me for a week or two after that and Iaswor3 my whole world collapsed with the thought that the only girl who brought so much meaning into my life would loath me to death. Then, I messed with my fiancée. I screwed another woman and Winslet found it out. Sa maikling salita, siguro ay hindi talaga ako handang lumagay sa tahimik. I can’t abstain from having s*x.

After that, I never took a woman seriously. I made myself attached more just to f**k. I joined my troop in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and bombed the hell away like a piece of s**t. After six years, I decided to have a vacation here at my house in Washington. Utang ko pa ito kay Jix noon, una kong binayaran nang ako ay kumikita na.

I had seen a doctor and was mentally and physically examined so I could start up my own business, after that war. I became a trainer, military tactics, and taught expertise in jet navigating.

Hinalikan kong muli si Nassandra sa sentido makalipas ang ilang saglit na naalala ko ang nakaraan.

“Listen, baby. You have your period. You have a stain on your...” I whisper against her ear after planting a soft kiss on her neck.

Jesus, she smells like cotton candy.

“The what?” she looks at my face and I can’t help but stare back at her.

God, I miss this girl so much. Now that she’s here, I realized what I had been missing in my life. I had missed a sweet young girl who treated me like a father. Seventeen years of age gap and whatever I've got, I’d give her all the properties that I have. Actually, she’s my beneficiary but she’s not aware of it; not even her Mom.
