A Night with a Stranger

Chapter 22

Naka-kunot ang noo ni Jamaica habang nakatingin sa computer monitor niya. Tinambakan siya ng paper works ni Light eeh. Mag 6:00 p.m na pero Hindi pa rin siya naka-uwi.

Minutes later, pumasok si Light sa office niya. Hindi niya ito pinansin pero lumapit ang binata sa kanya.

"Let's go." masiglang sabi ng binata. Pero hindi niya pa rin ito pinapansin at patuloy sa ginagawa. Light gets closer to her and whispers in her ears.

"Let's go now. It's time to go home." He said in his most seductive voice. It makes her body shiver because of the tingling sensation.

"Lumayo ka nga sa akin. You are too close." pagtataboy niya sa binata. Tinawanan na lamang siya ni Light. Inayos niya ang kanyang gamit para maka-uwi na rin. She is really exhausted from her work. She wants to sleep and lay down on her bed.

"Oh, bakit ka pa nandito? Sabi mo uuwi na." she said while furrowing her eyebrows to Light.

"I am waiting for you." he said casually.

They went outside the office together but nobody wanted to break the deafening silence. Tahimik lang din sila sumakay sa elevator papunta sa basement area kung saan nakaparada ang kanilang sasakyan.

Jamaica opened the door of her car when Light stopped her.

"Ano na naman? Look Mr. Del Monte I want to go home now and take some rest." she said irritatingly.

"I know you are exhausted from work that is why I will drive you home." he said. She doesn't have the energy to complain and disagree with him so she gives him the key to her car. She sat in the passenger seat while Light maneuvered her car.

"Sleep." he said to her. Tumango na lang si Jamaica kasi inaantok din naman talaga siya.

Light looked at Jamaica intently. He familiarized every angle on her face. He did not know but he is fond of looking at her especially when she sleeps peacefully. Ayaw niyang gisingin ang dalaga kaya dahan-dahan niya itong binuhat papasok sa kanyang penthouse. He carefully laid her on his soft bed and placed the blanket. Naligo muna siya at nagbihis bago pumunta sa kanyang kusina para mag luto ng kanilang hapunan. He prepared vegetable salad and chicken teriyaki for their dinner.

He went inside the room again after cooking their dinner to check if Jamaica was awake but the woman still slept peacefully like an angel on his bed. He did not dare to wake her up, instead, he carefully laid himself on the bed and slept beside her. He did not know but he found solace every time Jamaica was around her. He can not explain what he feels. Unbeknownst, he cuddled her while peacefully sleeping together.

Naalimpungatan si Jamaica dahil sa mabigat na nakadantay sa kanya. She opened her and was flabbergasted when she saw Light sleeping beside her. She can't think carefully. She remembered what happened a while ago. She looked at the clock and it was almost midnight.

"Gosh, how come that I did not notice this." she whispered. She carefully removed Light's masculine arms around her but he hugged him more tightly. Her stomach growled because she was already hungry. She slowly pushed Light's body but it was no use. Wala siyang other choice kundi gisingin ang binata. She slowly his broad shoulder.

"Assher.... Assher... Wake up.. Hey.. Assher. wake up." sabi ng dalaga habang ginising ang binata.

"Hmmmm" tanging tugon lang ng binata at mas lalo pang hinigpitan ang yakap nito. Dahil naiinis na siya dahil sa gutom, piningot niya ang tenga ng binata kaya napahiyaw ito.

"Ouch.." sigaw nito. "Why are you pinching me?" nayayamot na sabi nito sa kanya. Natawa siya sa naging reaction ng binata dahil sa ginawa niya.

"Then, you are laughing at me huh." pagmamaktol ni Light habang hinimas-himas ang kanyang tenga.

"Tulog mantika kasi." she said at inirapan ang binata. "Why are you bringing me here?" tanong niya dito. Nag-iwas ng tingin ang binata sa kanya.

"You peacefully fell asleep. I don't dare to wake you up." he said adoringly.

"Hmmmmm." she hummed.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat? I cooked food for us." he said. Bumangon ang binata sa kama nito at sumunod naman si Jamaica sa kanya papuntang kusina. Light reheated the food and set the table.

"Just take your seat. Wait a minute, I'll just reheat our food." he said sweetly. Tumango lang si Jamaica sa kanya.

They ate silently their food. Paminsan-minsan nagnakaw nang tingin si Light kay Jamaica ganon rin dalaga sa binata.

"Do you like it?" Light asked to break their silence.

"Yeah. You improve your cooking skills." she replied. Natigilan ang binata sa sinabi ng dalaga at tinitigan niya ito ng mataman.

"What? May dumi ba yong mukha ko?" na conscious na tanong ng dalaga kay Light.

"Wala naman. Just continue eating your food." he said.

Si Jamaica na ang nag presenta na maghugas para at least naman may ambag siya. Nakakahiya naman kasi kung ang binata pa ang pahuhugasin nito. Hinintay na lamang siya ng binata hanggang sa matapos sa paghuhugas.

"Thank you for accommodating me tonight. I need to go home now." she said calmly as she looked at him.

"It's already midnight. It is not safe for you to go home anymore. You can stay as long as you want." He said casually. Jamaica is hesitant. " And besides, it's raining cats and dogs outside. The more it is dangerous for you to drive." he added. Light was right. Malakas talaga ang ulan sa labas kaya wala siyang choice kundi ang manatili sa penthouse ng binata. Light gets closer to her. He did not know but he loves to cuddle the lady in her arms right now.

"I like your smell." he said while sniffing her. She never protested his actions. She just let him hug her and feel his warm embrace. It feels like home for her.

"I don't know what have you done to me but I was enchanted by you. If you are uncomfortable just push me away." mahinang sabi binata sa dalaga. Binigyan pagitan ni Jamaica ang kanilang distansiya at saka mataman na tinitigan ang binata. They were looking at each other and were being hypnotized by their gaze. Without any words, they shared an intimate kiss. They kissed torridly and passionately. They stopped when they were panting for their breath. A kiss can not suffice the heat that they have felt at the moment. Light carefully gave sweet kisses to every part of her. Little moans escaped from her mouth because of the tingling sensation. He then slowly removed her upper garments and gave her tiny kisses.

"Assher.." she said sweetly.

"I like it when you call my name baby. Just push me away if you don't like it." he said hoarsely. But Jamaica did not say any words. She permitted him to fully access her entire body. It might be cold outside the building but it was filled with heat inside the penthouse as they touched their body and shared an intimate scene.
