Captivated by a Thief Chapter Eighteen
Few days later...It's now Gabriella's birthday. Agad nagpareserve si Ryce ng buong restaurant dahil doon nya balak dal'hin ang asawa para kumain ng dinner. Plano nya rin na doon ibigay ang kaniyang regalo para dito.Pero tumawag ang kaniyang asawa kanina na baka hindi daw sya makauwi ng maaga dahil meron syang plano kasama si Jewel na mag celebrate ng kaniyang birthday sa bar. Dahil doon ay hindi na sya nag-abala pang sabihin dito ang tungkol sa restaurant na pinareserve nya.Siguro ay ibibigay nya na lang ang regalo para dito pag-uwi ng asawa mamaya.Sabay na pumunta sa bar sina Gabriella at Quel. Ilang minuto ang nakalipas ay dumating narin si Jewel na agad ikinataranta ng kaibigan."What the hell, Gab? You didn't tell me that she's going to join us!" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Quel at halos pagpawisan nang tuluyang makalapit sa kanilang dalawa ang pinsan ng kaibigan."Hello, Gab! Happy birthday!" Jewel cheerfully greeted at hinalikan sya sa pisngi bago niyakap ng mahigpit.Pag

Biglang napakurap sa nabasa si Gabriella at inulit itong basahin ng lima pang beses para masigurong hindi sya nagkakamali sa nabasa.She was about to reply yes, pero naisip nyang magkikita lang rin naman sila mamaya sa bahay kaya sinabi nyang kung pupunta lang naman ito sa bar para sakanya ay 'wag na at hintayin nalang sya sa bahay.After chatting with his husband on the phone, muli nyang sinamahan sina Jewel at Quel sa dance floor.##It was 11:15 pm nang magpasya silang tatlo na umuwi. Bago sumakay sa kani-kanilang kotse ay mahigpit na niyakap sya ng dalawa at muling binati."I want to spend more time with you but I can't do that because your husband is waiting for you..." ani Jewel habang nakatabas pababa ang nguso.Halatang lasing na ito dahil namumula ang dalawang pisngi ng kaniyang pinsan. Sa kanilang tatlo ay ito ang pinakamabilis malasing. Gabriella is worried about her cousin kaya nakiusap sya sa kaibigan na isabay ito dahil alam nyang hindi ito makakapagdrive ng maayos.Quel

When Jewel woke up the next day, she was inside an unfamiliar room.Agad syang napaupo at inalis ang kumot na nakabalot sa katawan nya. She sighed in relief when she saw that she's still wearing the dress she's wearing at the bar last night.Jewel tried to remember what happened at hinawakan ang kaniyang sentido nang bigla itong kumirot.She really doesn't know and have any idea where she is."But this smell..."The pleasant smell is very familiar to her. The pillow, the blanket, the bed, the whole room... they smells exactly like Quel—her childhood friend.Is she inside Quel's room? Did she just sleep on Quel's bed? But why? She can't remember everything that happened last night. All she can remember is dancing on the dance floor, a strange man trying to hit on her but Quel protectively wrapped his arm on her shoulder so the strange man would back off.She thanked him because of that and went back to their table to drink again and that's when she totally passed out.What about her ca
Captivated by a Thief Chapter Twenty-One
KinabukasanGabriella and Quel are already at the studio, waiting for Ryce. Kung bakit ito dadalaw, iyon ay dahil gusto daw nitong makausap ang kaniyang manager.Gabriella asked kung bakit gusto nya itong makausap pero hindi sya nakatanggap ng matinong sagot mula dito. Her husband only said that she would know the reason when he finally meet her manager."Bakit pakiramdam ko ay merong kulang?"Nagtatakang tanong ni Gabriella habang nililibot ang tingin sa paligid. Tinapunan sya ng tingin ni Quel at tinanong."Anong ibig mong sabihin na merong kulang?""There's no make up artist and photographer here. Konti lang rin ang mga gamit natin dito. Tingin mo ba hindi maghihinala saatin ang asawa ko?"Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Quel sa narinig at maya maya ay nagpigil ng tawa."Anong nakakatawa?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Gabriella dahil sa naging reaksyon ng kaibigan."You sounded like you're cheating on your husband with me. Just relax, Gab, wala pa naman tayong ginagawang masama." sag

Niyaya ni Gabriella na pumunta ang dalawa sa bagong bukas na coffee shop, katapat ng building ng kaniyang studio para magpahangin.Konti nalang kasi ay parang magsusuntukan na ito. She doesn't know what's going on between the two.Naninibaguhan sya sa kinikilos ng asawa at mas lalong naninibaguhan sya sa kinikilos ng kaibigan.To Quel's defense, he just want to tease his friend and he really didn't mean what he said when he told Gabriella that he doesn't mind the idea of them, having an affair earlier.Alam nyang hindi sya papatulan ng kaibigan. He also doesn't have any hidden feelings towards her. They are just really close friends at kahit ilan pang taon ang lumipas, they would never cross the line na mas humigit pa doon.Hindi nya inaasahan na makikita sila ng asawa nito na magkalapit kaya naisipan nyang asarin si Gabriella.Her husband looks really jealous earlier when he wrapped his arm around Gabriella's shoulder. Now, he did it again because he want to tease his friend's husband

After Ryce got his wife's manager's permission, nagpaalam si Quel na mauuna ng umalis dahil meron pa syang mahalagang gagawin.Ryce waited for Gabriella to finish eating her parfait. Pagkatapos ay sabay silang lumabas ng coffee shop."Meron ka bang ibang pupuntahan?" tanong ni Ryce sa asawa pagkarating nila sa labas.Bilang sagot ay umiling si Gabriella ng dalawang beses."Wala. Babalik lang ako sa studio."Ryce nods his head, gesturing his wife that he understands."Ikaw? Diretsyo ka na ba sa art class mo?""Yup. Medyo maaga pa naman kaya tingin ko ay makakarating ako doon sa tamang oras."Ngumiti si Gabriella habang nakatitig sa asawa. The man really met her manager para makapagpaalam personally na kukunin sya nito bilang model. She can't help but became amused. Her husband is really cool."Sige, una na ako sa'yo, kita nalang tayo mamaya sa bahay." nakangiting paalam ni Gabriella. Nginitian sya nito pabalik."See you later,"Dahil kaharap lang ng building ng kaniyang studio ang bagon

A week laterEvery after class, Gabriella visits the school where her husband works dahil nga sa napili sya nitong maging model para sa isang art piece.He will draw her for an hour. Nang tinanong nya kung bakit isang oras lang, sinabi nitong baka daw mangalay sya ng sobra kapag sa isahang upo sya nito pininta, kaya pagkatapos ng isang oras ay sinabi nitong ipagpapatuloy nya ang pagdrawing kinabukasan then they will both go home together.While Ryce is busy painting her, panay ang pagkukuwento ni Gabriella sa asawa ng kung ano-ano.Ryce listens attentively kahit pa busy sya sa pagpinta."Don't you think all the flowers are pretty? I want to smell all of them!" ani Gabriella, habang nakangiti. Then she yawns.Ryce noted that he will buy his wife a bouquet of flowers later."Yeah, they are all pretty..." he agrees.He stop from painting to glance at Gabriella and admire her beauty."You are pretty," he mouthed.However, the woman didn't hear it.Ngayon nya lang napansin na nakapikit na

Gabriella slowly open her eyes when she felt someone gently shaking her shoulder.Unti-unting umangat ang tingin nya sa taong gumising sakanya at nakangiting mukha ng asawa ang unang bumungad sakanya."I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, pero masasarahan na tayo ng guard ng gate kapag hindi pa tayo umuwi ngayon." paliwanag ni Ryce gamit ang mababang boses.Gabriella just realized that she fell asleep while her husband was painting her earlier. She looks at Ryce apologetically and slightly bow her head."Pasensya na, nakatulog ako." paghingi nya ng tawad dito.Ryce shakes his head to gesture his wife that it's alright, pero dahil nakayuko ang asawa, hinawakan nya ang pisngi nito at marahang iniangat."It's okay, I had fun staring at your sleeping face earlier. You're too cute so I couldn't get mad at you...""Ha? Ano yun?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Gabriella at pinaulit sa asawa ang sinabi.She only heard him said, "it's okay". Hindi nya narinig at naintindihan ng maayos ang kasunod nitong sin
