Chapter 17.1NassPASIMPLE kong tiningnan si Caine. He’s finally home. Inakbayan siya kaagad ni Daddy. Lumabas kami ng bahay habang ako naman ay yakap si Rechel sa braso.I smiled when I saw the preparation outside. This feels like home. I feel like crying. The last time we had Caine in a dinner like this was more than 5 years ago.“Kumusta ‘yong pagpunta mo sa school kanina?” biglang tanong sa akin ni Rechel kaya nabaling sa kanya ang atensyon ko.“It was good. You know what, my professor is so beautiful. Para akong natotomboy, Rech,” bulong ko.“Gaga,” natatawa niyang batok sa akin, “May mas gaganda pa ba sa mukha mo?”“Meron nga kasi. Ang ganda niya sa lahat ng anggulo. Hindi siya maharot na tulad ko.”“Hindi naman porke hindi maharot ay maganda na. May mga gano'n na minsan nasa loob ang kulo parang volcans.”I furrowed. Volcans?We looked at each other and both laughed.“Volcano!” I giggled.Nakakalimutan ko ang sama ng loob ko kapag ganito. Oo, masama ang loob ko dahil ang hirap
Chapter 19NassI FEEL so really sad again, looking at my parents leaving with Andi.“Bye, sis,” si Kuya ang huling nagpaalam sa akin, saka ako hinalikan sa may tainga, tapos ay bumulong siya.“Kuya is always willing to listen when everything turns rough, ha,” he reminded me again, and it was enough reason for me to look up at him with a smile and nod.“I know, big brother. Thank you,” I kissed him on the lips.Agad siyang nagpahid ng bibig at sumimangot kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.“Daddy o, ayaw ni Kuya pa-kiss!” I immediately called Dad to have a backup.“Andi,” Dad warned when he looked back, “Magpa-kiss.”Napahagikhik ako dahil parang dismayado si kuya na itinulis ang nguso. I kissed him again and hugged him.After that, he rumpled my hair before turning away.“Babye!” Kaway ko sa kanila saka ako nagpahid ng imaginary tears ko, but the truth, naiiyak talaga ako.They all waved at me until they were out of my sight. I saw Caine, walking toward me. Siya ang naghatid kina Mommy
Chapter 19CaineI POCKETED my hands and sighed, pursing my lips at the same time.A lucky bastard was giving my Nassandra a handkerchief. I wanted to tersely walk toward him and grab his collar, but I controlled myself. I just inhaled deeply as I watched them. Humakbang ako, isang hakbang pero tumigil din ako.I looked away. This is not fatherly jealousy. Kahit hindi pa ako ama, alam kong hindi ganito ang selos na nararamdaman ng ama sa lalaking nagpapansin sa anak. This jealousy is the kind of jealousy that kills. And what's my right to do that? I don't have any right. I am a dirty old man.Muli ko silang tiningnan. Nag-uusap na sila. Nassandra refused to accept the handkerchief but they were talking now, and I immediately tilted my head when I felt a hand on my shoulder.Nakangiting mukha ni Sue ang nakita ko.“You never told me that you were already a Dad,” She said.“She’s my niece.”“Niece? Hindi naman kayo magkahawig,” natatawa pa niyang sabi.I just didn't bother answering tha
Chapter 20NassI HEAVILY slept. I looked around when I woke up. It was dark outside. Buhay na ang ilaw sa kwarto at pailaw sa labas. I grabbed my phone from my bedside table and checked the time, as well as my messages. It was seven in the evening.I rubbed my eyes and moved out of bed. Sumilip ako sa bintana at totoong gabi na nga.Nasaan na ba si Caine?I decided to go out of my room. I looked at his room's door and Moved like a rat. Pinakinggan ko ang pinto niya. I heard a sound. Tumikhim siya.“Nass,” he said, so I widely opened my eyes.I immediately stood up straight when I saw him standing in front of me.“You're…not inside your room.”“I wasn't. I just finished cooking.”I smiled. He was half naked and sweating.“Next time, I'll do the cooking na,” nakangiti kong sabi. Ayokong mapansin niyang nakatanga ako sa katawan niyang nilalabasan…nilalabasan ng pawis.He smirked, “I don't Want to compromise my house, sweetie.”“How dare you?” I snapped right away, frowning, “I know how
Chapter 21NassExcited to have my license, I woke up early and prepared early. Yes. I did it but I ended up finishing late.I giggled when I looked at the time. Hindi kasi ako matapos-tapos sa pagpapaganda. I feel like nasobrahan na nga ako, hindi na pantay ang pulbo ko. Para akong nadapa sa harina. I grabbed a tissue and wiped my face. Thick make up doesn’t really suit me.Nasaan na kaya si Caine? Mamatay-matay ako sa kilig kagabi. I wasn’t able to sleep right away. Nakipag-video call na muna ako kay Kuya hanggang sa nakatulog na ako. My brother was so generous to ask me about my status. I hope I can give him a nice update next time because I’m not making any progress, I know. Since then and now, what I feel for Cain is just truly the same. Kung may nagbago man, dumami lalo.I just feel glad that he doesn’t go out to bed a woman. Napapanindigan naman niya ang pangako na babawi sa akin sa mga pagkukulang niya. If there’s one thing that I am worried about, ‘yon ay ang paghanga ko lalo
Chapter 21.1Nass“Y-YOU said what?” nawala ang ngiti niya at napalitan iyon ng madilim na pagmumukha habang nakatingin sa akin.Help me Lord. Ang kapal ng mukha ko na humingi ng tulong sa Diyos pero kanino nanan ako hihingi? Kay Darna?This is what I feel, and if suppressing this means letting some bitches take him away, and seduce him, hell I will not let it happen.Eto na ang epekto ng kalokohan ng puso ko. Of all the people in the world, why him? Bakit ang lalaki pang ito na kaunti na lang ay senior citizen na.I gulped, “I said I love you as my dream guy.”“Jesus Christ!” he spat. His face was filled with so much fear, “You’re crazy.” He shook his head and took a step backward.“I am not,” I said, playing it cool. Cool ako kunwari peeo ang puso ko ay tatalon na papalabas dahil sa nerbyos. This makes me so nervous and badly shaking inside.“Holy hell! How can you act this so childish, Clariz Nassandra?! Your family members were my family, the only family I have, and you’re here con
Chapter 21.2NassOh shit! I opened my eyes again and saw his eyes locked into mine. He’s ravaging my mouth, invading it in a not so decent and gentle way. My god, this kiss is burning my body. He’s being rough but I like it, I will always like it as long as it’s him.“Caine,” I moaned when he bites my bottom lip. Oh my, did I just do that? I felt the tightening of my lower belly when I heard my own voice.He urgently cupped my face and pushed me against the wall, leaving me speechless. I tiptoed, until I felt his arm on my spine lifting me off the floor.I moaned louder when he pushed himself on the juncture of my thighs.“Geez, slow it down, Kisses. They’ll hear us.” He panted like he almost ran a mile or five but he spoke against my lips.Geez din, para akong sasabog na hindi ko maintindihan. I will never forget this moment. I will treasure this, no matter what. I will fight for him in hell or high waters. I’ll fight him against all odds but I would still love my Dad no matter how
Chapter 22CaineDamn it!I grab the key and put on my cap and jacket.I don’t know what to feel. How am I going to face Nikka and Jix after what happened? After what I did to Nassandra? Up until now, my dick is aching. It’s still hard and roaring inside my briefs, and I need to release it. I need to release the sexual desire that’s gripping my entire system, but not inside her. I need another pussy. I need more than one. Jesus Christ, I dry-humped the girl I took care of for almost half of my life. What kind of stupid jerk am I? I wasn’t able to control myself back there. She’s just so very tempting, and God, she tasted so sweet. She’s pure and innocent and… I must not touch her anymore. Never again“Kiko!”Shit!I stopped at the door when in my imagination, Nikka called me. I don’t know if I can go back home to them and face her because I can’t. How could I face the woman who treated me like her brother and in the end my lust just betrayed her? I made her little girl experience the
