XXVIII. The Pretense
“Kumusta naman ang trabaho?” Marsden asked Vivien while they eat in a classic reataurant.
“It’s almost done, baka next month matatapos na namin,” anitong nakangiti.
Trisha concentrated on eating, trying not to hear their conversation. She doesn’t wan’t to feel more insecure habang unti-unting nalalaman ang mga bagay tungkol kay Vivien. She was also an engineer after all!
Napatingin si Trisha kay Marsden when he put fresh lumpia on her plate and he even poured the sauce. How sweet! Isa ito sa paborito niya.
“Thank you,” she appreciatedly said.
“I know you’ll like it,” sabay kindat sa kanya.
“Not really!” aniya. He was playing the part well para pagselosin ang babae. Hindi daw type. Liar!
Marsden laughed at akto sanang babawiin ang fresh lumpia but she playfully pinched his side. She knew she have to pretend that they were lovey-dovie to help him out so she pasted a smile on her face.

“Ahmm…have a drink with me?” tanong ni Marsden sa kanya. “Please!” agad naman niyang sagot at isinirado ang car door. She was relieved dahil tama ito nang sabihing she was still in shock about what happened the previous night. Hindi niya mapigilan ang pagtaas ng kanyang mga balahibo sa batok nang masilayan ang madilim na apartment. Chloe will be here tomorrow for a sleep over. Galit na galit ito nang malaman ang nangyari at nagdesisyon na sa kanya muna matutulog for a week pagkagaling nito ng Cebu. Nahihiya siyang maging dependent kay Marsden dahil napakarami na nitong naitulong sa kanya. Mabuti na lamang at inalok siya nito ng alak. Makakatulong ito upang makalimutan ang paninikip ng kanyang dibdib sa tuwing maaalala na napakaimportante ni Vivien para kay Marsden, that maybe he felt something for her deeper than meets the eye. Napagkasunduan nilang sa condo ni Marsden na lamang mag-inuman. Dumaan sila ng convenienc
Be Officially Mine XXX. If Only
“You should forgive yourself first…to begin with.” Trisha said with a loving caress not just on his face but his heart. Marsden didn’t meant to share with her the anguish of a lost child and of a regretful man. He doesn’t wan’t her to be sad. But he felt light and relaxed with her as if she can heal him from the pain and hatred that keep on pulling him back. Without planning it, he was talking and telling her everything. From what happened before her mother died and what he’d became after. How he had not talked to his grandparents for almost a year. How he always had bruises on his face when he went home from school. How he hated music instruments. His grandparents knew how much he loved it. In High School, when his grandparents were called upon by the principal after the big fight that happened inside the school gym against Max and his friends, they’ve decided to have an appointment with a psychologist fo
Be Officially Mine XXXI. For The First Time
Trisha was in pain when she heard everything. The things he’d been through. She remembered her parents’ death. She also didn’t had the chance to say goodbye. Even though she loved her parents so much, she was used to not seeing them regularly. They were always busy with their priorities which were obviously not their children and not even each other. She was devastated but she had his brother to share the pain with. And their deaths were quick, an accident and Trisha knew it didn’t made them suffer. It’s not a disease that will slowly eat them up and gave them pain of knowing that every passing day might be their last. Trisha understand that Marsden had a lot of if onlys–but she also understood why his mother distanced herself from him. It’s always for her son’s sake. So that he could learn and get used to live without her already because she knew her time was ticking. Trisha’s heart was aching for h
Be Officially Mine XXXII. He's Not Mine...Yet!
Marsden can’t sleep. His mind was very awake. Everytime he closed his eyes the memory of Trisha’s smooth lips and soft skin keep him awake especially the gentle sounds she made out of pleasure as he submitted to his desires. But Amber’s words compelled him to stop. ‘I’m not yet ready to handle you.’ The moment he remembered those words Marsden knew he needed to stop. Those words changed him in a way that women like Trisha don’t deserve someone like him…with his past still coping up with him. His conscience poked at him particularly when he saw her confused look the moment he suddenly stopped. He also saw the hurt when their eyes met before they avert their gazes almost at the same time. She looked so beautiful seating there, trying to compose herself. Her hair was a little bit disheveled when he gently gripped it to kissed her deeper, her red lips that looked thoroughly kissed and when he subtly stared at her ne
Be Officially Mine XXXIII. A Friend's Request
Pinilit ng batang si Marsden na huwag isipin ang sitwasyon nila ng kanyang mama. Huli niya itong nakita kahapon bago siya nagkulong sa Music Room. Natulog siyang nagtatampo dito. Mahal niya ang kanyang mama ngunit nasasaktan siya sa trato nito sa kanya nitong nagdaang mga buwan. Mainit ang ulo nito. Mas nagiging madalas ang business trips kaya naman hindi na niya ito masyadong nakikita. Minsan nahihiling niya na sana mahirap na lang sila. Nakatira sa isang maliit na bahay at simple lang ang pamumuhay. Nanaginip siya na dinalaw siya ng kanyang mama sa kanyang kwarto, hinimas ang kanyang noo at hinalikan ang kanyang kamay habang ito ay umiiyak. Kinaumagahan ay maaga itong umalis at hindi na sila nagkita pa. Gusto niyang magsorry dito sa inakto. Gusto niya itong makausap bago ito umalis ngunit hindi na siya kailanman nabigyan pa ng pagkakataon dahil pagkatapos ng tatlong araw, dumating ang

“C’mon man, let’s have a drink later,” saad ng lead Engineer at batchmate niyang si Liam. “Okay I’ll see you at 9:00. Mr. Muran was delayed in delivering the supplies I’ll think I need a drink. He’s making my head aches,” saad niya habang nakasandal sa backrest ng kanyang armchair at minamasahi ang sentido. “He is a good businessman, surely they will cope up soon.” “They better, they were breaching the contract and it’s affecting us.” “Kalma muna pare, see you maya at Raizone.” Nang makaalis ang kaibigan napabuntong-hininga na lamang si Marsden. Alas siyete na nang sulyapan niya ang kanyang relo. He took his phone and put his feet over the table and relaxingly lounge over his chair. “Hey!” “Hey! Kumain ka na ba?” saad ni Trisha sa kabilang linya. “Not yet…I’m still in the office.” “Take good care of yourself. Padalhan na lang kita d’yan ng picture ng niluto ko para
Be Officially Mine XXXV. A Cruel Love
Hinatid niya si Rheanne sa room nito dahil halos hindi na ito makalakad sa kalasingan. He even had a hard time convincing her to leave. Nang mabuksan ang pinto ay agad niya itong pinahiga sa kama. She was still laughing and even singing. May sinasabi ito pero hindi niya maintindihan. Pagkatapos alisin ang sandals nito ay kinuha niya ang kumot and covered her with it. Aalis na sana siya nang hablutin nito ang kamay niya. “Don’t leave,” anitong pilit tumatayo. Her eyes were pleading. “I should leave Rhey, just sleep okay?” Dahan-dahan niyang tinanggal ang pagkakahawak nito to help her lay down. “I love you. I love you Mars,” anitong puno ng emosyon sabay yakap sa kanyang leeg. Sandali siyang natigilan sa sinabi nito. She what?! Bago pa man siya makareact ay hinalikan siya nito sa mga labi. “Rhey!” sabay iwas dito. “What are you doing?” He detached himself
Be Officially Mine XXXVI. Like A Wedding Dress
"Rhey is in Cebu to confess,” saad ni Myrtelle. Tumingin siya dito. Pilit tinatakpan ang ang biglaang kirot na naramdaman. Gusto man niyang magsalita, wala siyang maisip na sasabihin. In her mind, “Rhey is going to confess, must have already confessed and by the look of it… things have been good between her and Marsden.” Napansin niyang napatitig ito sa kanya kaya naman pilit siyang nag-isip ng sasabihin. “She love him?“ “For years…” anitong nakatanaw sa malayo. “She love him more than Amber did. Had sacrificed a lot just for him and now that he’s back she won’t waste another minute to let him know.” She subtly cleared her throat as if realizing that she had shared something she shouldn’t have especially to her. “Atleast now, nagkaroon na siya nang pagkakataong sabihin kay Marsden,” aniyang pilit ngumiti. Honestly, she admired Rhey for finally taking up the courage. “Hindi ka ba naiinis o di naman kaya
