Chapter 6 - Secret Affair

2486 Words
The following day was Saturday. It's almost afternoon when I woke up because I went to bed as late as 5 in the morning. I was very careful not to run into Sean on the second floor. Safety first! I am dressed for night out with friends although it's still just afternoon. Staying here all day is not an option to me. When I was giong down the stairs, I heard a loud noise coming from the pool area. I bite my lower lip when I contemplated that Sean is not alone in the house; his friends might also be here. Making sure that he won't notice my presence, I tiptoed. Maybe we will get used to each other's presence in the future, but now is certainly not the moment for that. I have successfully gotten to the 1st floor when I suddenly heard a sarcastic question. "Are you trying to escape like a highschool kid who's forbidden to go out? Tiptoeing and sneaking don't suit you, Chunsa." I was almost out of breath when I turned around and my face bumped into his chest. I walked backwards with my chin up. He's too hot in white bathrobe with his hair wet. "W-why would I do that? Anyway, I might go home late tonight because..." He didn't let me finish. "I don't care about your reason, Chunsa. Be here at 11:00 if you don't want to be punished." His lips pursed as he raised the bottle of wine and he's holding in his right hand. In his left are wineglasses. I never thought he's a person who loves to stay home for weekend. He turned around to go to the pool area. "Why do I have to abide with that? Even I come home at 5 in the morning, your father won't kick me out." I only whispered that, but he stopped from walking to face me again. Damn. I shouldn't have said anything more. Being stared at that way by Sean Montenegro gave me butterfly in the stomach. I started walking away when he scanned my body. Never will I get used to that. "Don't dare me, Ms. Lopez. My father and your mom are not here to defend you from anything I want to do with you. It's just the two of us, so don't ever mention about them again." "I'll make sure this rude attitude of yours reach Uncle Paul." I murmured again. He let out a singular laugh which echoed in the whole sitting room. That gave me goosebumps. "Don't expect me to stop you, Chunsa. Go ahead and tell him how interested I am with my stepsister." It's a surprise how vocal he is with that thing. I walked out of the door and shut it. He might really think he can get me by doing that. I am worth more than the women he bedded. I went to Jade's house to rest again. She just woke up when I came. As usual, I lounged in her movie room while waiting for her to get ready for our night out. In the middle of the movie, she came inside and sat 2 seats away from me. "Thanks!" I told her when she put bowls of chips and cookies in the seat beside me. "What happened last night with your stepbrother? Was your first night alone memorable?" I hate how that question sounded malicious. "Nothing happened. Can you please stop talking about him? If Warren finds out about this..." She cut me off. "You have to deal with the devil he is. We all know how good of a man Warren is, but everytime you two would fight, it's like you're both in hell. As early as now, you should tell him how Sean is treating you." I shook my head. Everything is still indefinite. How can I cause animosity between them when Sean hasn't done anything to me yet. I mean he might just be kidding because he expects me not to fall for it. That may just be the case, so I'll try to play along. "We have been together for 4 years, and I have no intention of giving up on Warren. That's clear to me, so even Sean butts in, I won't get swayed by him. I am made for Warren only!" I saw her wrinkled forehead when we looked at each other for a while. "You sound really serious right now. I wish you'll stick to your words until the end." I rolled my eyes. They know me. Nothing or no one can halt my final decision. Jade and I used my car in going to the club where we will spend the night. Phoebe came with her new boyfriend, Lemuel, and his friends. Warren is informed that I'll go out with my friends. I am assured that my friends will take care of me when I get drunk, so I fill my body with alcohol all night. I dance with the people I just met. They all seem nice. It's past 10 when I checked my phone again. The loud noise and laser lights passing through our way made me want to throw up. I'm so dizzy when I stood to go to the comfort room. Someone held my shoulder when I almost tripped to the ground. I raised my head to see that person. "Oh hi! Thanks!" It's one of Lemuel's friends. "Are you going home?" He asked when he let go of my shoulder. I felt too dizzy that I had to hold on to his polo just to remain standing. I heard him laughed and guided me to where I was heading. "To the bathroom. Sorry for interrupting you." I murmured. He guided me until in the door of the bathroom. I washed my face to keep me awake. I had too much of that blue cocktail. My stomach is burning. I felt like vomiting, but nothing's coming out. It took me a while before I went out. I was able to redo my make up. I felt better after that. I was not expecting to still see that guy when I went out. "Are you waiting for me?" I asked before he smiled from ear to ear before he offered a handshake. "We were not properly introduced a while ago. I'm Joseph. I shouldn't be saying it now, but I'm your fan, and it's an honor to finally meet you in person, Ms. Chunsa Lopez." I accepted his handshake. "Thank you." I only said. "What are you doing here?!" Andrea suddenly appeared behind Joseph. I have been looking for her and Phoebe to tell them that I want to go home. "Just talking. Since you're already here, I want to inform you that I'm already going home." She walked closer to me. Her brows are raised and her lipstick is messy. She seems enjoying the night. "It's still to early." Her voice wants to imply something else. "I already had enough alcohol! I already called my driver and he's on his way, so.." "Why don't you go with me? Montenegro's mansion is along the way. I want to see it myself too. Wait for me here. I'll just fix myself." She entered in the comfort room leaving me and Joseph there. "Does she have a driver?" Joseph asked. "Yeah. Kindly tell the others that Andrea and I went ahead." He looked at the floor as if thinking. "Actually, I'm on my way home too. Do you want me to drive for you?" I don't know if I heard that right because the metallic rock is too loud. "I brought my car, and Andrea brought hers too. We don't want to bother you on our first time of seeing each other. We look forward to some other times, Joseph. Be safe on your way home." I was about to go inside the comfort room again when the door opened. Andrea walked out. "What happened?" I asked. "Dad is looking for me. I forgot to tell him that I'm going out tonight. Let's go, Chunsa. Can you drive? Or should I drive?" My jaw dropped. I thought she has a driver tonight! I will never entrust my life with her driving skills. "Are you kidding me? Let's just wait for my driver. He'll be here in 20 minutes." She shook her head and snatched my right hand. "I can't wait for another minute. Dad will kill me if he comes home earlier than me. Damn! He just blocked my credit cards last week after finding out that I went to Bicol with other friends! He can't find out about this!" I rolled my eyes. Even she yelled and hissed here right now, there's no way I will allow her to drive. "Let me take you home. My driver is waiting in the parking lot." Joseph meddled. We both gave him a look, but Andrea seemed to consider his offer. "Okay. I'll return this favor to you someday, Joseph. Thank you so much! Where's your car?" She asked while leading the way out of that club. She bumped into the bouncer, so Joseph caught her before she fell on ground. This guy is interesting. One look and I can say that he's better than Phoebe's boyfriend. "Careful, lady." Andrea blushed when she stood and walked again. Served you right, friend. We are already 22, but she's still depending so much in her parents' money. Joseph opened the door for backseat. He guided Andrea to enter and then me. He sat in the passenger's seat while I try to remain awake to give him directions. When I told him the subdivision of Andrea's house, he immediately knew where it was. "My cousin lives there." He mentioned. It took almost 30 minutes before I got home. Rain is pouring heavily, and and there are lightnings. Joseph offered to get the umbrella from the trunks, but all the lights suddenly turned on in the driveway. We were all astounded as the main door opened and Sean went out from there. Andrea who just woke up scrutinize the man in his sleeping attire. He's holding an umbrella in his right hand while his eyes were directed to the car. "I keep seeing high profiled personalities tonight." Joseph murmured. "Oh my gosh, Chunsa! I want to live in this house too!" Andrea whispered. Two guards are following Sean and they opened the door of the car for me. Jjoseph rolled down the window beside him to greet Sean. "She left her car in the club, but I can ask someone to pick it up for her." Joseph said. There's really no need for that because my driver is on his way. "Thanks for taking her home, but I will be the one to send someone to get it." His voice was hoarse as if he just woke up. His eyes are sleepy now. He placed the umbrella near me when I went out of the car. "You're getting wet!" I shouted. "I'm fine. Is she your friend?" I was blushing when his face moved closer to me as he looked inside the car. "Hmm. Hi! I'm Andrea! It's my pleasure to meet you." She didn't even hide how pleased she is to meet him. "Nice to meet you too, Andrea. Let's have coffee someday with your other friends. Take care." He closed the door and his next move made my jaw dropped. Sean Montenegro pulled me in the waist before we start walking away. For sure, Andrea saw that. "Remove your hand from me!" I shouted and tried to push him, but the umbrella swings which made him so wet. I stopped when he chuckled and remained in that position. The guards behind were offering another umbrella, but Sean acted like he did not hear them. "What the hell, Sean?!" I crossed my arm in my chest when we reached the house. He ordered the housemaid to bring him two towels. "Do you know what time it is?" His voice is more serious now. I looked at my wristwatch that's also wet by the rain; it's already 10:53 PM. "I made it to the curfew!" He smiled evilly. I looked around to avoid his eyes when he took off his wet shirt. Afraid of what I could feel, I turned around and yawned to pretend that I'm already sleepy. "I had a long day. Good night, Sean." "Good that you actually care about the time. Next time you need a driver, call me. I don't want some random guy taking you home." He walked fast, so he can block my way to the stairs. The sight I was trying to avoid exhibited in front of me like a statue curved by the best sculptor. "You don't have any say to what I do. Please move away." "Can't you even thank me for bringing you umbrella?" I'm quite guilty that he got wet because of me. He could just let the guard bring me an umbrella. I remained silent while he's looking down at me. My pride won't allow me to thank him. "It's okay. I'm not expecting for anything like that anyway. Just don't allow any guy to take you home next time. Apart from me and Warren, don't think of adding more men into your life because I assure you that you can't handle me." "You are not a man in my eyes, Sean. You are simply my stepbrother. Don't overrate yourself because expectations hurt." I made sure those sharp words made an impact to him. "Really? But why are you blushing now? And why are your knees shaking? Why are you avoiding eye contact with me? Before denying anything, make sure you're not affected with my touch." So he noticed everything. "I'm drunk, so all of those are normal. I will never choose you over Warren." He laughed as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I lost all energy to resist. His smell and the reek of alcohol from me were combining when he pulled me close. I can feel his cold naked body against me. My breathing went fast when he put some strands of my hair behind my ear. His hot breath touched my earlobe, and I felt a strange sensation with what he's doing. "Then don't choose anyone between us, Chunsa. I'm willing to be your secret affair while your fiance is away. How's that?" He whispered in my ear. His lips touched my earlobe which made my body quiver. He laughed silently. "I'm not taking no as answer, but I will also not rush you. Take your time to review my proposal, stepsister." I don't understand myself, why am I disappointed when he suddenly walked away from me. It has been long since he went away, but I'm still standing there feeling his body against me. Damn. Why am I falling for him?
