One Last Crime

Kabanata 26

Treasure

Last night was fun. I got to meet some of his relatives and I got to know his brothers more. His cousins are also there. I was shocked when I found out Daxon is his cousin. I thought they were just co-workers and friends.

And because of my curiosity about the Garzon girl, they're talking about. I searched for her on social media and I found out that she's a doctor at Monteclars hospital.

She looks quirky and clumsy, I was not expecting her to be a doctor but she is. Well, you should judge at first. She seems good at her profession.

She's a doctor, one of the best professions and she came from a great family as well. They're known for business.

Nangalumbaba ako sa desk ko habang tinitignan ang mga pictures nito. Parang masyado naman ata siyang maganda para sa isang doctor?

Kung ako ang tatanungin ay pwede itong artista. Makikipagsabayan din ito pag dating sa modeling, maganda ang kurba ng katawan niya at maganda ito.

She's gorgeous and sexy, I cannot help but envy her curves. Looking at her photos my eyes cannot stop staring at her breasts. They're perfect! She's not flat and it's not that big though. Unlike me, I'm a model, what can you expect right?

She's very charismatic. I can tell just by staring at her picture.

So why did the two of them didn't work out?

Now I can't get over it. Hindi ko maintindihan bakit ganito ang nararamdaman ko. I'm not mad at Verine, I just envy her in a good way. She almost married Lendhel. How can she say no to him?

Probably because of his husband? I admit his husband is also gorgeous. But for me Lendhel looks way better, or is it because I like Lendhel that's why I feel like that?

Siguro gano'n talaga, pag gusto mo iyong tao, siya pa rin ang pipiliin mo kahit sa tingin ng iba ay may mas maganda pang option. Hindi mo papansinin ang sasabihin ng iba dahil siya lang ang gusto mo. Umaasa ka rin na gano'n siya mag isip, na wala siyang ibang nakikita kundi ikaw. Kasi handa kang ibigay ang buong puso mo para lang sa kan'ya.

My ringing phone interrupted my thoughts. I picked it up.

"Congrats cousin."

"On what?"

"Duh, you're engagement?"

"Kalat na kalat," aniya.

Nangunot ang noo ko. "I thought they wouldn't announce it yet?"

"At inaakala mo talagang hindi nila ia-announce ang kasal ng nag iisang anak ni Miguel Callejo? At sa isa pang Montallion! Damn you girl, what a perfect combination." She laughed.

I rolled my eyes. "Tsk. Akala mo ba papalagpasin ko ang ginawa mo? Why did you tell them that he slept in my room?"

She barked with laughter, "I don't have a choice, Chantrea. Isa pa, maswerte ka nga na iyon lang nasabi ko."

Mariin akong napapikit. She has a point. Mas malala nga naman kung nasabi niyang nakipag one night stand ako kay Lendhel.

"You keep on avoiding my teasing and confrontation about him but here you are engaged to him! What about Adrian now? I thought you too are a thing? Isn't he your boyfriend? Alam niya na ba ito?"

I sighed. "It happened so fast, Emory. This is Dad's only wish for me."

Isa pa iyon sa iniisip ko. Paano pag nalaman ito ni Adrian? He knows how important he is in my life. But this is Dad's only wish, I cannot disobey.

"I wish Dad had the same wish as Tito!" She laughed.

"I would definitely obey, without hesitation!"

"So... You really like him huh?"

I smiled at her question. I think it's deeper than attraction.

"Enough about me, how are you?"

"Still the same--- Daxon ano ba?!"

Nangunot ang noo ko. "Daxon? He's in your condo?"

"Uh... Yeah just for some cases." aniya.

My eyebrows raised. "Really?"

"Yes Chant, I gotta go!"

Binaba ko na ang phone. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa laptop, pinatay ko na rin iyon.

It's nonsense stalking her. Lendhel and I are engaged. But what about Mary? Paano kaya siya nakilala ng mga ito?

Should I ask him?

What for?

He said they're friends, but it's obvious that Mary likes him.

I sighed.

Masyado akong nagiisip, dapat siguro ay lumabas muna ako ng kwarto.

"Are you hungry?"

"Why do you always ask that when I get out of my room, Lendhel?"

"Because that's one of the two things that you need and don't have in your room."

"What's the other one?"

"Me." He grinned.

"If it weren't for the death threats and planned accidents. I will think that you did this on purpose to be with me Detective Montallion."

He chuckled. "I won't let someone protect you when it's my duty to keep you safe."

"As a detective or as my my lover?" I teased. I was caught up with what I said. Hindi ko man lang naisip iyon bago ko sabihin!

He grinned, "Your lover huh?"

I gulped. "Well..." I pursed my lips, "You confessed to me... It's not direct but I get what you want to say unless I'm the only one assuming that you like---" I was cut when he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer, lips touching.

My eyes widened for a second. His kiss is sweet and gentle. I got lost in the moment.

"You wouldn't be my fiance if I don't like you baby," he said, eyes piercing mine.

"I don't want to pressure you to feel the same way but I want you to know that what I'm feeling for you is getting deeper Chantrea." he said as he brush his thumbs on the side of my lips.

"And I want you deeper somewhere else." I said as I tiptoed to reached for his lips. He pressed my body to his. Para bang nawawala ang mga iniisip ko sa tuwing mag lalapat ang labi maming dalawa.

I almost died in that accident. I should live better today... and do the things that would make me happy, at least for once.
