Kapitulo 18
"Bakit ka ba nandito?" Cyrex asked the man, and he just grinned while looking at me. "Stop looking at my girl."
I stoop my head.
"Wala nga lang. Sinabi ko na sa 'yo kanina, 'di ba?" The man sounds jeering at him. "Besides, I know that it's lolo's birthday today, isn't it?"
I bring my sight back to Cyrex. I see him sighed and nodded. They really love their grandfather, I can sense that. The man stared at me, I study his face and I saw how sleek it is. Unlike Cyrex, it's rough but good for him because it matched with his dark demeanor.
"So, anong plano mo ngayon na nandito ka na?" Cyrex asked.
He shrugged. "I don't know. Find some girl friday. I still have no idea, cuz."
"'Di ba may girlfriend ka?"
"We're over."
Cyrex brows furrowed. He sipped on his juice and make us wait for a few seconds. He has a beard too, but not that thick unlike Cyrex before. Dazron hasn't beard, but he's an earring and it's good for him.
"She cheated on me," he said simpering. "But don't worry about me. I'm good now. Well, at least be far from the pain."
That supposed to be a joke. I pity this man. Why some of his cousins had to experience this kind of pain? They should be treated like special, because I know that they're special.
"So, you come up here for recovery?" Cyrex's voice low. "I'm sorry, cuz. I didn't know. I thought Cannon was the one experiencing this."
He fixed his gaze at him, alarmed. What kind of reaction was that? He seems like he knows Cannon. Not just because their relatives but there's something I need to know.
"Yes, your brother," Cyrex added. "He came here and the same as you he walked off from the pain."
He sighed. "Why didn't he tell me?"
Cyrex shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe he was just embarassed."
"Embarassed? He should not to—" someone cuts him off.
"Kuya?" That was Cannon's voice.
Zohr turned round. "What the f**k are you doing here?"
Cannon ignored him, he settled on the chair. Grabbing his juice, he sip on it as his brother looked at him.
"Cannon. I'm asking you," he repeats.
Cannon shrugged. "Chilling."
"Chilling? Mom and dad were looking after you. Are you kidding me?" Zohr's voice hefted.
Cannon glanced at him, sighing. "They knew that I'm coming back to Manila. Sinabihan ko si manang. Pero hindi ko alam kung sinabi niya sa inyo. But I guess she did't base on your reaction."
"God. Kahit kailan pasaway ka," he scolded his brother. "Nabati mo na ba si lolo?"
"Done," Cannon replied shortly.
"Good," Zohr added.
I look at them. Cannon was white while Zohr was beyond white but his face is reddened, maybe because of the heat of the sun. These two men sitting in front of me are like celebrities. Some people would come to look up at them just to see their face.
We continue eating while the two talking to each other like we are not here. Cyrex leaned in my ear. He sucked the corner of my earlobe and I tingled. My hand landed on his thigh as he put his hand on my backhand, guiding to rub on his shank.
"Uuwi na muna kami," Zohr told Cyrex, and he nodded.
"Zohr. Lolo wants to see you," Cyrex said, and he just nod.
"Let's go?" he asked his brother, and Cannon nodded.
I look at Cyrex who is no staring at me. His lips smeared with a souce. I care to wiped it as his hand lands on my thigh. Rubbing, I look at him and smiled.
Cannon and Zohr pulled out of the building. The mall was gigantic and Cyrex was just spitting a look at the stature. I do think that some people here knew him very well. Especially he was one of the most richest man in the country.
"Your mall is huge," I said in nowhere, and he turned his gaze out me. "You really are rich, aren't you?"
He exhaled. "How did you know that this is mine?"
"From my peers," I replied.
"This is an individual project of mine. I didn't know that it bacame this big."
"Because you're smart enought to manage your properties."
He looked at me. "Fereine..."
"Aren't we go to your lolo's house?" I asked and he nods, sighing.
He lays a hand at me. I get it and we stormed out of the mall. We pull through the parking until I come inside. He accelerates the speed to sixty and I just close my eyes at the speed. Later on, we arrived at the palace of his lolo, I climbed out of the car and he clicks the controller and we pushed through the house.
As we strolled to the house, I fidget. He turned to me, and gave me a look. I glanced at my watch. It's almost nine o'clock. I raise my chin and look at him. He raise an eyebrow and I shook my head.
We continued walking until we stopped at the door. He fixed my hair and kissed my lips. So soft. I smiled at him and he opened the door. My heart beats fast when I hear some chattering.
"Come inside, sweetie," Cyrex and opened the door widely.
I come behind him. He was looking at the sea of people inside. I try to smile each one of them but my lips hide my instict. His hand wrapped around my waist as he pressed me to his. Talking to his relatives.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet my girl," he said with full of glee.
I smiled at them. Even they see it forcefully. I want to have a good impression on them. I cast out my glance around until I saw Cannon, carrying a glass in his hand. His hair made him looks like a snow man in Antartica.
"What's her name?" someone asked him. Cyrex looked at me. I smiled at him and he smirked as he pressed his hand on my waist.
"Her name is..." Cyrex looked at me for the last chance and I half-smile. "Her name is... by the way, I have a food in the car."
I smiled at the thought that he's protecting me, by securing my name from anybody. I can tell he was really happy right now but I couldn't just figured if he really is. He's so dark. Not the skin but the countenance that even his cousin afraid of him.
"Yes, Tita. Nadalaw rin naman kasi si daddy sa Palawan, for the school project of the nation," he said when the woman asked him about his farher's absence.
"Sus, sabihin mo hindi gusto ng papa mo na makita si Jander. 'Yon 'yon, 'wag mo nang pagtakpan," the woman pressed on.
Cyrex shook his head, smiling. As we walked out of the crowd, Cyrex held my hand tight and I leaned on his broad shoulder. We stopped at the gazebo, but there's a man and a woman hugging each other. So we choose to search some spot for our romantic night.
"Did you grow up here?" I asked him, and he nodded. I figured that he's really a shy type of person back then, or I was just hinting nothing to be true.
He nudged his hand on my back. I rest my hand on his chest as I hide in his neck. He kissed my head and rubbed my shoulder as if he wants to make me calm. Have I saw him got mad? I don't think so. Just a little but not that full mad.
"Did you see that star?" he pointed out the sky, and I nodded. "You're one of them. But what makes it difference is you're here with me, brightening my night."
I flushed. I want to hide my face but he saw it beforehand. He tilts my chin and leveled his sight at my nose. The corner of my lips quiver to form a smile as he put all of my locks in the corner of my earlobe.
"You're the only one I want to be in bed," he said, brushing my face with his back hand. "Always..."
My hand on his chest curled. He lifted me and settled my butt on his lap as he fix the corner of my hair. I pursed my lips as he looked at me seriously, I really can't resist his charms m. It's too pythonic.
"Cy..." I called out to him. He pressed his lips on my lips as passionate as ever. I barely close my eyes when he move his tongue in my mouth. "Cyrex..."
His tongue slowed down until the motion stop, while his sight fern at me. Our lips detach as his hand is rubbing my back, easing the sensation he was giving me. I don't want him to stop but he chooses to stop. My hand clumped at the back of his shoulder as his lips pressed in my neck, creating a tingling, circular motion around there.
"So, why didn't you tell me that you had a crush on me?" he asked when we sat down at the pool. I am sitting in between his lap, feeling his thing arousing while watching me.
I winced. "You're not my crush. It was Dazron."
He smirked. "You sure?"
Damn. Why can't you stop smirking?
"Y-yes..." I replied, almost fumbled. "It's him. I liked him because he's not callous, unlike you. You're not making love, you're making the person die in tense."
He pouted. "I'm sorry, darling. Did I gone that far?"
I nodded. He stooped his head but I title it. I face his obscure pair of eyes. Even my father was sacred of this man upon knowing that he really is swanky. It was not the typical rich man with cars and houses. He's not just owning houses, he's owning massive ships and gigantic establishments.
"However, I like the pacing. Even if it's..." I winced again, and he waits for my answer. "Panful."
"I'm sorry..." he whispered, and hide in my neck. "I'm embarassed at the thought of f*****g you that harsh. I really am sorry."
I patted his head. "It's all right. No matter how painful it was, I still like the way you do romance with me."
He c****d his head, and looked at me. I smiled and put his head back in my neck. My big man is like a baby, indeed. I can't expect this was happening as a matter of fact I have just imagined this before. I was thinking to be with him, in his bed, everywhere with him, how will it feels like. And now, I can tell it was really beyond perfect.
"Pa'no, hijo. Una na kami," a man approached him.
"Already?" he said in surprised. "Kadadating n'yo lang po."
The man looked at the back of us. Until a woman approached him, she kissed his cheek, she's pretty like real models in New York. Cyrex's rubbing my shoulder as I leaned on his shoulder for a while, and looked at the man after the woman left.
"Shannelle was so happy to see you this happy, hijo," he said and Cyrex half-smiled.
"Salamat po, Tito. 'Nga pala, si Vaniana nga pala?" he asked and my brow creased.
"She's with her husband. Medyo naantok na rin ang anak nila kaya pinatulog muna nila sa taas," the man replied.
Cyrex nodded. "Gano'n ba? O, sige. Mag-iingat po kayo sa biyahe."
"Hindi kayo uuwi?"
Cyrex shook his head.
He smiled. "Mabuti naman nang may kasama si dad dito. Medyo na-miss ka na no'n. Bakit ka nga ba 'di pumunta no'ng anniversary nila ng lola mo?"
"I was in Vietnam po. In-invite kasi ako ng ambassador doon," he replied.
"No, I mean... no'ng nakaraang araw. Bakit wala ka?" the man pressed on.
He glanced at me. "May inaasikaso lang po ako."
The man nodded. "Mabuti naman nang sa gano'n ay malibang mo naman ang sarili mo. You're really in a constant battle of your own company, eh?"
Cyrex laugh slightly. "Hindi naman po."
The man nodded, smiling. "O, siya, mauna na ako sa inyo. Paki kumusta na lang ako sa kapatid mo."
"Sige po," Cyrex replied.
I just look at him.
The party is over. Cyrex is in between my thighs, nuzzling his nose on my shank. I take off the prince-nez and look at him passionately. He is the only man who can made me feel like this. I had few men before but he persists in my heart, until he drew up and walked right in front of my face, to prove that he was the right person for me. I smile.
"Aren't we going to sleep?" I ask as if bored with him. I saw his brows furrowed. Thick and black. Love it.
"You can either scream or pass out with my brisk," he jeered.
"Come on. It's, what, eleven thirty?" I raise my voice as he continued lapping my skin. He's still in his outfit; he's in a bit tired to slacked off his dress.
"Darling, this is what we called snail romance." He traced a line with his tongue up to my abdomen. It is frustrating, indeed, but I have to endure it. As it stopped at my busts, I moaned.
"Nababaliw ka na. Eh, hindi pa nga natin nagagawa," he jokes and I grabbed his lips.
"I beg you to spare my s*x. Let's sleep," I said as if I am kneeling, my voice is distraught.
He heaved a sigh. I watched his eyes as it focused on me. I can't take my eyes off of him. But I knew I can make him stop, and this was it.
"Fine," he said as if tired, crawling his head in my neck. "Would you mind?"
I shook my head. "It's all right."
He didn't talk. I sense him as the time runs well. I look up at the ceiling and find some answers with my problem. How would I marry this man? If he only knew what I did to him, he would probably seize me to hell. But the fact that he loves what he's doing with me, I knew that he would never huet me than what my brain thought.
"Hindi ko alam kung sadyang tanga ka lang," I heard someone laughing. I pulled off the duvet, gliding my sight to the man standing a few inches away from me.
"Gago. Hindi, 'no. I'm with my girl," he said giggling. "Yeah. Umalis 'ata sila Vaniana. Hindi ko alam, pero siguro nandoon sila ngayon sa kuwarto ni Dazron."
I lick my lips, clearing the scums on the corner of my eyelid. I was about to jump off the bed when I noticed what I'm wearing. I covered my breast with my hands as I snatched the bedsheet, and cover it on my body.
But a tiptoed made me wiggled, and stumbled on the ground. Cyrex turn round and haste to went in my direction. His phone kissed the floor when he released it.
"Are you okay?" he asked, and I nodded. "Bakit ka ba bumaba. Your feet swelled yesterday. Didn't you know it?"
I shook my head. "Aw!"
He seized me when I was about to fall. I look into his eyes, the sweet combination of ash and jet black. His lips moved as I stared at them. I'm fully aware that he's on his boxers, trying to make me feel somewhat comfortable with his presence.
"They're mine," he said leaning, and leveled my nose. "Perfectly mine."
