Chapter 10 - Be Still My Heart

885 Words
True to his word, Harper is at her doorstep not a minute less than 5 am, at nang makita niya ito in a black sleeveless shirt and grey jogging pants, let's just say she doesn't feel the coldness of the early morning at all. " Wow, I'm impressed! Akala ko tulog ka pa rin at this hour but you've proven me wrong." Laking gulat ng dalaga nang pagbuksan si Harper ng pinto. " I told you I'll be here, and Princess I'm a man of my word." He answered with a smirk on his lips and a spark in his eyes while it travels on her sexy body. She just takes his breath away and chased his sleepy mode all at once. She is in a terno grey jogging pants and midrib shirt, which showcases her flat tummy and boy does it look yummy. His morning just gets a little too hot to handle. " Hi guyth!" Pukaw ni Max sa dalawang di maalis alis ang paningin sa isa't isa. " Ano jogging pa ba tayo o magtitigan na lang kayo? Magandang exercise din yan sa mata" Pang-aasar nito sa dalawa na nagpablush sa dalaga. And seeing her blush just makes Harper wished he could just hug her and kiss those blushes away. " Hay naku Max sobrang aga pa para mag-umpisa ka sa kabaliwan mo, tara na nga bago pa tayo abutan ng pagsikat ng araw." Kunwaring inis na sambit ng dalaga, ang totoo gusto niyang iwasan ang titig ng binata dahil baka in a few second para na siyang melting ice cream sa harap nito. After a good one hour jog, naglalakad na pauwi ang tatlo, enjoying the sunshine and the cool breeze. Harper saw that Riley is breathing heavily and noticed that she didn't bring any water bottle with her. So after drinking his water he offered it to her, which by the way if she accepts will again be their indirect kiss. " Want some babe?!" He offered, he saw that she's contemplating whether to accept or not so he gives it a little push. " Come on, I know you're thirsty love, you didn't bring water with you. If it makes you feel better I don't have rabies." He grins at her and offered the bottle to her again, she shook her head but accepted it anyway. She rolled her eyes at him but secretly smiled, but dahil uhaw na uhaw nga siya tinanggap niya rin ito. " There happy now kulit?" Sabay abot dito ang water bottle, and she noticed titig na titig ito sa kanya. " What?" Taka niyang tanong. " Ahm nothing love," sabay kamot nito sa batok at umiwas ng tingin. Habang si Max ay aliw na aliw na nagmamasid sa dalawa. "Eh kasi bestfwend uminom ka sa water bottle niya na ininoman niya kanina, which means nagkiss kayo, hehehe." Panunukso ni Max sa dalawa and instantly the blush on her cheeks appeared and nothing looks more endearing to Harper than this sight. Buti na lang malapit na sila sa bahay nila kaya nagmamadaling lumakad palayo si Riley and just wanted to crawl in a hole somewhere. " Hey, Princess wait up! He's just joking babe, no need to feel embarrassed." He smiles down at her na sinuklian niya ng irap. " One of these days Max itutumba na talaga kita." Inis niyang lingon sa best friend niya na sinuklian nito ng pagdila na para bang 5 years old. " Anyways we're here, sooo ahhm see you? ooor, do you wanna come in and join us for breakfast? I'm sure maraming niluto si nanay for almusal." Kiming ngiti ng dalaga. " Oo nga pogi halika kain tayo masarap magluto si nanay Sabel, ang favorite ko is yong tosilog niya." Naglalaway na saad ni Max nag heart heart ang mga mata sa pag-iisip ng pagkain. "Tosi what?" Nalilitong tanong na man ni Harper. " Tosilog. Consist of Tocino, sinangag and itlog." Paliwanag ng dalaga. " Kaya tara na at gutom na ako." " Okay, are you sure it's okay with your mom? I don't want to impose, nakakahiya." Pagtatanong ng binata. " Wag ka na mahiya pogi magiging nanay mo na rin na man si nanay Sabel, I'm sure okay lang sa kanya." Sabay kindat kay Harper na nagpapangiti naman dito. Hindi nga na man masama na makilala ang family ng bababeng nagpatibok ng kanyang puso. Max is right, sooner or later he has to introduce himself to Riley's family if they are going to pretend to be married for their mission. And He is not sure if all they will do is pretend, this s****l tension between them is getting stronger. " Hay naku Max bumanat ka na naman tara na nga!" Inis na napailing ang dalaga. Pero sa isip nito nag aalangan din siya. Tama ba ang desisyon niyang imbitahan ito sa bahay nila? I mean ang kuya niyang malandi and nanay niyang sinapian yata ng ibang nilalang simula nang naging kapit bahay nila si Harper and ang uncle nito ay naa loob. Tiyak di siya tatantanan ng mga yon ng tukso at ipagtutulakan siya kay Harper. But, andito na to napasubo na siya, di niya kasi napigilan ang bunganga niya nakakahiya naman kung bawiin pa niya. Well, here goes nothing, Lord, give me strength.
