Chapter 9 - His Signature Scrutinizing

1921 Words
Two days went by so fast. Sean was always busy with work, and I love that he has no time to pester me. Now, everything is clear to me. He only wanted to try if I will give in to him. He might be thinking lowly of me. He thinks I am some dumb woman who will risk everything in my life just to f**k with him. Today is Daniela's birthday, so I invited them in the house. They wanted so bad to meet Sean Montenegro, and I am giving them this chance. It's killing two birds with one stone. We celebrate her birthday, and they steal Sean's attention from me. I asked for a little help from the housemaid to prepare some food in the bar. All wines there are expensive, so anything will do for us. Phoebe won't leave her phone because she's talking with Lemeuel while there's me who always wait for Warren's call. I know he's busy, but how can he not make some time for me? I am not used to this set up, but I'm still trying to understand him because it's his passion. "Can we stay for the night? I don't think I can still go home," Jade was slumping in the big sofa when she said that. Right at that moment, I saw someone's shadow walking in the direction of mini bar in that house. Who could it be? Sean Montenegro stopped by the door and wore that sexy grin as he scanned the room. "Hi there!" My friends chorused. I cringed when they sounded like they rehearsed it. They are disgusting. What's so great about that man? "Hello, ladies. I heard one of you is celebrating her birthday." I felt a little in danger when he walked in the room. Phoebe suddenly looked like a sober after seeing him up close. "It's me! Daniela Smith. Nice to finally meet you, Sean Montenegro." He's not even an actor or model, but her eyes are twinkling when they shook hands. Like a sly fox, she bite her lip and giggled when Sean greeted her a happy birthday. "Enjoy the rest of the night, ladies. I will ask the housemaid to prepare the guest room. Stay for the night, it will be dangerous if you go home late." I laughed sarcastically when he tried to sound like a gentleman. It doesn't fit him honestly! The girls looked at me which leads to awkward silence. I stood, but I tripped in front of Sean. So freaking disgusting. I even looked up, and I saw him looking down to me with one of his brows raised. I gulped several times when I tried to stand, but I'm so dizzy. My friends screamed when Sean knelt, so our eyes will be on the same level. His lips curved up for a judgmental smile. Why can't I even stand now? The floor is cold, and this is beyond embarrassing. "Are you that confident to kneel to me in front of your friends? Can't we keep it in private now?" My breathing went fast when he caressed my hair. I removed his hand away from me. "Don't touch me!" I shouted. "You can't even hold yourself, lady. How am I supposed to let you alone?" He guided me to stand. I am disappointed when I felt warm with the way he touched my shoulders. I smelled alcohol from him, so I think he's coming from one of his women. I pushed him away when he fell on top of me in the sofa. I screamed so loud, but he only laughed. I felt his hard body against mine, and even I am drunk, I know it's wrong. My friends were giggling and laughing while watching us. They shouldn't be entertained with stepsiblings trying to flirt. He stood, but his eyes stayed in my legs that's now exposed after I fell in the sofa. "Eew. For sure you just had s*x with your w***e. How dare you touch me now?" He took it bad. His fiery eyes brought me back to reality. I felt sober now all of a sudden. Daniela coughed loudly to catch our attention, but Sean looked aggravated with my question. "I love how vocal you are when you're drunk." I was taken aback when he walked to me cornering me in that sofa. I fell over again, and he climbed on the sofa. Damn. I felt all heated when he lifted my chin to make me look up to him. "Remember what I told you in the hospital when you almost killed me? I'll stop being a womanizer because I have you now." "Excuse me. What is happening? Am I asleep now, and just dreaming this dirty scene?" Phoebe interrupted, but Sean didn't even bother to look at her. He gave a smack to my lips. The devil in me wished it was longer than that. "No one beside you can touch me, Chunsa. So next time you kneel to me, I'll make sure we are both dying in pleasure. Enjoy the rest of the night, ladies. I need to shower." His sensual way of telling every word got me feverish. I watched his sexy back as he made his way out of that bar. He shut the door, and didn't even look back. I took a deep sigh when he completely disappeared in my sight. "WHAT.THE.HELL.WAS.THAT?!" Daniela shouted. Enough alcohol for tonight. I already composed myself that I will never fall for him, but I am now sick down for him. I want to cry when I realized there's no way to avoid this feeling. The rush in my system spoke volumes. Even I try to ignore it, the feeling came rushing to me the moment he shows up. "Are you really cheating on Warren?" Daniela's voice was too serious like she's ready to pull my hair anytime. "We are just both drunk," I answered discreetly. "No! What we just saw could not mean just a joke! You were touching each other. You... you even kissed!" Phoebe came to me so aggressively. I thought she's going to hurt me, but she just shouted until I came back to my senses. "You can't be serious with this affair, Chunsa! He's your stepbrother! Not only you will ruin your name, but will also put your companies at risk! What about Warren? You know how dangerous he is when he gets mad!" Jade put her glass on the counter and faced me. I closed my eyes, and just tried to sleep at that situation. I'm afraid the night will be long enough for them to make me admit my true feelings. I am not prepared. The light coming in from the glass wall woke me up. Who did draw the curtains? My friends are no longer here beside me. I searched for my phone to look at the time, but can't find it anywhere. I stood to check it under my bed, in the shower room and even walk in wardrobe. "Shit." I murmured as I hurried to the mini bar of that house. I almost trampled when I ran down the stairs. Thinking I might have missed Warren's calls made my heart shrunk. I was so drunk last night that I forgot about him. "No! Nothing like that!" I heard Jade's loud voice from the dining area. I sneaked a peak, and my brows raised when I saw them having a meal with Sean and one man that I have never seen before. Sean noticed me, and the big smile in his lips disappeared. Looking so devilish handsome in smart casual early in the morning is just his thing. From his hair to expensive pair of shoes, I find it all in harmony to make him appear sexy. He gave me his signature scrutinizing from head to toe. I looked down to see what I'm wearing. I immediately grabbed the ribbon of my bathrobe when he smirked. I felt like he can see through my attire. I flipped my hair and left that place. I traced the way to the bar. When I opened the place, it was already clean and everything is organized far from how we left it last night. My phone is not on the counter. I checked under the counter, the stools and everywhere else, but still could not find it! I was about to stand when someone spoke from behind. I almost screamed in shock! "Looking for this?" Sean Montenegro was standing tall behind me. I hate how little I felt when he looked down to me. In his right hand is my phone. I stood immediately and grabbed it from him. "Why do you have it?!" I asked in annoyed tone. "Didn't I instructed to dress modestly when you are in the house, Chunsa? Seeing you in that short bathrobe makes me... horny early in the morning." My jaw dropped. I looked at the door to make sure that it's close. "We talked about it, Sean. We will not cross the line." Even I tried to ignore what he said, I still blushed. I opened my phone, but it won't turn on. My battery is dead. "Your boyfriend called last night. I happened to be here fixing the mess you made our of my bar, so I answered. He didn't know that you and I kept a close relationship as stepbrother and stepsister. Too bad he has to hear it from me." What he said made me stop. I felt like I'm cheating when I'm not even doing anything...yet. I mean, I am not cheating on my fiance! "You have no right to touch my things, Sean. I don't want this to happen again." "I'll do what I want in my house, Chunsa." He laughed when he looked at my bathrobe. "What are you laughing about?!" "You look so beautiful in the morning in that pink sassy bathrobe with your cheeks blushing. You don't deserve a boyfriend who stays far from you. If I were him..." I cut him off. "It will never be you, Sean." His reaction became serious. "Don't speak so confidently. I'll be home late tonight, but I will still know if you come home later than 11. I have a conference in Batangas, but I will definitely go home. If something happens, call me. I saved my number in your phone." He wore a triumphant smile. "You don't have to inform me about your plans, Sean. Even you don't go home for 3 days straight, I won't bother to look for you." He loosened his tie and took steps closer to me. "You love acting tough, Chunsa. But there will come a time when you will need me too." He was just talking, but I am already flustered. This is bad. "No. Don't make it sound like I'm just pretending. I am really independent. That's why even my boyfriend isn't around, I can manage to go on with my life. No need to look for an affair." I tapped his shoulder as I passed by at his side. This perfume is familiar, Dolce & Gabbana if I'm not mistaken. "How long can you resist? I want to see till the end, Chunsa." He followed me. When I was about to reach for the doorknob, he pulled it and gestured me to go out first. He's a maniac bastard, but also a gentleman. He has several personalities, and all of them felt dangerous. Whatever he does made me fall.
