Diane’s P.O.V.
As if it was the cue, Leandro instantly scooped me in his arms. He was carrying me in a bridal way habang nakataas ang kaliwa niyang paa. I had no other choice but to snake my arms on his neck for him to have an easier balance.
“I remembered when I saved you from that Zander, ganito ka rin kagaan noon.” Leandro smiled, but I looked away. He was reminding me of what had happened before, but my eyes went directly to Liam and Sharmaine.
At ganoon na lang ang inis ko nang makita kong karga na rin ni Liam si Sharmaine. Tuwang-tuwa pa ang bruha, but who wouldn’t relish the feeling when she was being carried by the great billionaire—Liam Arthur Evangelista?
For the second time, I diverted my gaze away. I decided to look at Karen and Samuel—na hindi na yata matatapos pa ang pagbabangayan over the newspaper game.
“S
Diane’s P.O.V.“Don’t you want to exchange your post-it note with Karen, Diane?” Leandro asked me, which earned a wrinkle on my forehead.Why would I even change my post-it note when fate already brought me back to the one I desired to be with? Napakaliit ng chance na kaming dalawa ang mag-partner ni Liam sa game na ito, pero nangyari pa rin.Luminga ako sa paligid. Almost everyone already got their partners in the second game. I was about to open my mouth to respond to Leandro’s query when Karen intervened, saving me.“Why, Leandro? Don’t you want me to be your partner?” Karen then linked her right arm to Leandro’s, not letting him off the hook. “Ouch, I’m hurt!”Napabuga naman ng hangin si Leandro. Being with Karen, he was kind of hopeless.“Hind
Diane’s P.O.V.Hindi ko na masyado pang binigyan ng pansin ‘yong sinabi ni Liam nang makita ko ang isang blue ribbon na malayang nakasabit sa isang sanga ng puno. Bumitiw ako mula sa pagkakahawak ng mga kamay namin sa isa’t isa, mabilis na tumakbo sa puno, at pilit na inabot ‘yong ribbon. Tumalon-talon na nga ako, pero hindi ko pa rin iyon maabot.“Wait, stay still… I’ll reach that for you,” Liam proposed.Mabilis na nakalapit sa kinaroroonan ko si Liam at tumingkayad siya para abutin ‘yong ribbon. Tumalon-talon na rin siya at kahit pa tingin ko ay over six feet ang height niya, hindi pa rin niya ‘yon maabot.“How on earth did they tie it up here?” Liam was rubbing his clean-shaven jaws with his fingers. “Ah, of course, they might have used a stepladder. Hmm… I guessed I have to carry you to get tha
Diane’s P.O.V.It took us a few minutes before we reached the supposed-to-be end of the forest and all the time, Liam effortlessly carried me. When we were in front of a wall full of vines, Liam slowly brought me down to my feet and I stood straight beside him.The combined green and red vines in front of me became a perfect backdrop which complemented the entire nature. As the vines covered the large brick and stone wall, they left some small gaps where you could still see the wall, creating great pattern and texture.“Hmm… mukhang dead-end na yata ito, Liam? Naliligaw na ba tayo?” tanong ko sa kanya. Pero malabo namang maligaw kaming dalawa rito dahil pagmamay-ari pa rin ni Liam ang ilang hektaryang lupain at man-made forest na ito.Pinakiramdaman ko na lang tuloy ang buong paligid. I must admit that I was always lost by how Liam used to stare at m
Diane’s P.O.V. A few moments went by and I found myself straddling into his body, gasping beneath his athletic frame. I could feel in between my thighs that Liam was already hard down there and I couldn’t be more excited at the thought. After what happened to us in his pad, alam kong hahanap-hanapin ko ito. It was as if I could feel that my body did not forget the intensity of being underneath him, flesh-to-flesh, and skin-to-skin. No other man could ever make me feel like this. My maxi dress was already pulled down to my navel after Liam threw my bikini top, revealing my bare mountains. I could see too much admiration on the way he looked at me and it was making me feel submissive to him. Liam kneaded into my breast, with my hard nipples being trapped and played by his fingers. Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang magpatianod sa nararamdaman ko para sa taong mahal ko. He was
Diane’s P.O.V. “So, you’re telling me that you’ve accidentally drowned before?” Liam furrowed his not-so-thick eyebrows. We were holding hands and true to his promise, he would never want to let me go. Pabalik na kami ngayon sa resort niya at magtataka lang naman ang kung sino mang makakakita sa amin dahil basang-basa pa rin kaming dalawa. Nakita na rin namin ‘yong dalawang blue ribbons kanina and just how we managed to get the first one, we did it again with teamwork and love. It was already one in the afternoon at wala na rin kaming makitang mga tao sa paligid. People might be back at the Moulin Paradise Resort, and they might be already eating lunch or enjoying themselves while swimming. Mukhang kanina pa nga natapos ang second game. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang ma-curious kung sino ang nanalong pares. Who would have ever thought that while every pair was busy competi
Diane’s P.O.V.“If you’re not gonna break that damn fucking law, then you’re only letting Ernest reign over you. Can’t you see it? Your cousin is only controlling you, Karen. He’s depriving you of your rights! Why don’t you just admit that you’re only resisting your feelings for me? If not, then why would you even respond to my—” Samuel was almost gritting his teeth but Karen viciously cut him off.“Enough, Sam!” Karen was looking at him like she was about to murder him with her scorching glares. Her jaws were also clenching hard like she was competing against him. “I was only carried away so let’s just forget about what happened to us, okay?”“Why would I, Karen? Justify your reason.” Disappointment crossed Samuel’s handsome face.“Because I like Lorenz! Will that be eno
Diane’s P.O.V.“Do you have a turtle-neck blouse, sissy?” Karen asked me all of a sudden. Siya pa ang sobrang busy na naghahanap sa nasabing damit sa duffel bag ko.We were both done with our shower when Karen went inside my room a while ago. Pareho na rin kaming nakabihis, so I wasn’t sure kung bakit pa siya nagtatanong.“Hmm… wala, best. Bakit?” Nagtatakang tanong ko kay Karen. We were both wearing a spaghetti-strap top tank that could show a little bit of our cleavage.As far as I knew, she doesn’t want to wear a turtle-neck blouse because she always wanted to flaunt her slender neck. She still had a white towel on her hair but after drying and combing it, I guessed she would be all set.“Because you have a hickey on that pretty neck of yours,” she frankly spoke. “Wait here, I’ll get mine
Diane’s P.O.V.“So, guys… let’s start. Para hindi magtagal, sa simula lang natin gagawin ang bobo game. At baka sabihin ng iba na unfair na naman dahil ako ang magbibigay ng category, I’ll answer in the middle na lang, okay?” Xielo stated, na parang sinasadyang paringgan ang mga lalaki.“Siyempre, obvious naman na napaghandaan mo na ‘yan! Baka nga hindi na nawala sa utak mo ‘yong sagot eh!” Tumatawa si Peter habang nang-aasar sa kanya.“Well… it would be a little advantage for me dahil kung wala ako, this getaway will only bore you to hell,” Xielo refuted. “Aba! Hindi madali ang mag-organize ng games ha? But enough na, Peter. Huwag ka na lang sumali kung marami kang reklamo!” She scowled at him before clapping her hands to alert us. “Alright, everyone! Just get ready and I’ll definitely start in three,
