Chapter 16

MAAGANG pumasok si Chloe sa office. Ilang araw din syang binigyan ng leave ni Damon upang mapagpahinga.

"Chloe!" bati sa kanya ni Jilian.

"Kamusta na? magaling kana ba ?Ikaw ha, hindi mo man lang sinabi na si boss pala ang boyfriend mo."

All she can do is to stared at Jilian and give her a smile.Wala kasing gana ang dalagang magpaliwanag. She wanted to keep her life private, lalo na ngayon at tuluyan na nga silang nagkabalikan ng binata.

Naging masaya naman sya sa ilang araw na pahinga. Hayun ngang lagi syang pinupuntahan ni Damon sa kanyang bahay. Nanonood ng TV, kumakain ng sabay at nagkikipagkwentuhan. Sinusulit talaga nila ang bawat taong hindi nila kapiling ang isat-isa. They tell their stories vice versa. May masaya at malungkot. Parehas nila iyong pinakinggan mula sa puso kaya naman mas naging komportable sila sa isat-isa.

-

Maaanghang na salita at ingit agad ang narinig ni Chloe ng makapasok sa office in Damon.

"Anong immitation? Fuck those companies! mga walang originality! Go contact Attorney Visco, and file a case against them all"

Galit na Galit nasabi ng binata sa kausap nito sa kabilang linya. Umagang-umaga ay binibigyan nanaman ito ng problema. Kapagkuwan ay hinilot nito ang kanyang sentindo at naupo sa kanyang swivel chair.

"Cups" bati ni Chloe sabay lapit sa binata at hinawakan ang kamay nito "Are you alright?"

Awtomatikong lumingon at ngumiti si Damon at sinabing "Yes Cups, okay lang nagkaroon lang nang kaunting problema." kasabay nito ang mahigpit na paghawak ng binata sa kamay ni Chloe at mahinang pinisil ito.

Chloe smiled at him in returned at tsaka umalis papunta sa customize table nito. Nang makaupo, ay agad na binuksan ng dalaga ang kanyang laptop at nagsimulang magtrabaho. Kahit naman si Damon ang boss niya ay hindi nito kinakalimutan na sekretarya pa rin sya. Ayaw ni Chloe na maging abusado na porket katipan niya ang may-ari ng company ay magiging tamad at aasta na rin syang boss.

Hours passed,isinara ni Chloe laptop kasabay ang paginat ng kanyang mga braso.Sa wakas, natapos nya rin ang patong patong na documents na kailangang i review at gawan ng draft. She gently massage her lids,remove her glasses and decided to take a nap.

As she opened her eyes, she saw Damon beside her.Tahimik nitong pinagmamasdan at binabantayan ang dalaga.

"Ummm...Cups kanina ka pa dyan?" she said after pulling a yawn.

Damon frowned and said"We forgot to ate lunch."

"It's okay Damon ,at least natapos natin lahat ng trabaho diba?"

Damon nodded "Mag dinner tayo sa labas."

"Cups"

"Yes Cups?"

"Chloe Cups?"

"Ano nga?! Cups ka nang Cups dyan!"

"I'm fucking tired and fucking drained right now. I badly need a medicine."

"Isang kispirin and yakapsul, okay naba?"

Damon smiled at him and said "Yeah, I would love that."

Chloe immediately placed her hands around him and gave Damon a tight hug. Kaagad naman itong niyakap ng binata pabalik.

Damon shut his eyes when Chloe hugged him. He seized what he felt on that moment. His heart and mind is in calm state. Napakasaya ng binata na sa walong taon ngayon nya lang naramdaman ang maging masaya kahit na pagod. He feel really relaxed when Chloe is around.For him she's an angel who tamed a demon like him.

She give him plenty pecks. "Oh okay na" saad ng dalaga sabay kalas sa pagkakayakap nito.

But Damon really needs more.He clutched Chloe's hands and brushed his lips against her.

Her eyes almost popped out when Damon initiate to kiss her sensually.

"Stop Damon baka may makakita sa atin!"

But Damon grinned and continue to kiss her.

"No...Ummp...Damon ... Stop..."

He even bit her lower lip, deepened his kiss,slid his tongue and exploring her mouth.

"Da...ummp...Damon!" she said after they broke the kiss.

"What?" iritableng saad ng binata

"Anong what?! nasa office tayo oh!baka kung sino pang makakita!"

"So what? I don't care! you're my girlfriend and this is fucking my company I can do whatever I want"

"Do you really need you cussed?"

"Hell yeah, you don't want me to kiss you."

Chloe punch his shoulder lighty "Not here Damon, this is working place. One peck is enough, abusado ka naman!"

"Please, one more, I really miss your lips Chloe."

"But we kissed a while ago, wala pa nga atang limang minuto ang lumipas."

"But for me, five minutes is equivalent to five days"

"Tumigil ka!"

Ngunit makulit ang binata, Hinawakan nito ang pisngi ng dalaga at akmang hahalikan uli ito ng may biglang kumatok sa pintuan.

"Boss, Can I come in?!" saad ng sekretarya nyang si Lucas.

"Fuck!" he cussed then he removed his hands to her cheeks.Akmang aalis ang binata papalabas ng pinto ng pigilan ito ni Chloe.

"Wait! may lipstick ko pa yung labi mo.Napaghahalataang naghalikan tayo."she blunty said while rubbing off the stain using her hands.

He was stoned and suprised to her implish behavior.He feels like his body is heating up. He would love to see Chloe underneath him,now.

"No Lucas! not now, Fuck off!" at agad na sinunggaban ang dalaga ng halik.

He pressed his lips to her. He doesn't care If Chloe would be angry after this. Damn! God knows how Damon really want to taste and to feel her lips

Their lips crushing like there's no tomorrow. His bony hands started to caressed her back and lowered until he groped and squeeze her butt. It gives her pleasure to release a soft moan.

"D-Damon!"

That turns him on, when he was about to loosen his necktie his phone rang.

"Da...ummp...Damon your...ummmp phone."

Ngunit walang narinig ang binata at patuloy parin ito sa paghalik sa dalaga. Si Chloe nalang itong nahiya at humiwalay sa pagkakahalik at sinabing "Damon I said you're phone, baka emergency yan."

"Fuck!"he cussed,kasabay ang pagkuha at pagsagot nito sa kanyang phone.

Nang matapos ay ibinaba ni Damon ang tawag.

"What? ano daw sabi urgent ba?she asked.

"Nothing Cups, shall we continue?"

"No! Kumain na tayo nagugutom na ako."

"But Cups?! Can I have one another kiss?nabitin kasi ako kanina eh!"nagmamagktol na saad ni Damon.

"Tigilan mo ko Damon.Hindi pa ako kumakain,nagdidilim ang paningin ko sayo."

Awtomatiko namang sumunod si Damon. "Fine, basta may utang ka sa aking isang kiss."

Chloe's eye rolled in skyward. "So ano pang hinihintay natin? Yung bulate ko sa tyan nagwawala na."

"Saang restaurant gustong mong kumain?"

"Goodbye Kiss Resto" tipid na sabi ng dalaga.

AFTER Damon skilfully manoeuvre the car, then went inside. Chloe immediately sit to her favourite spot.Sa pinakadulo sa tapat ng glass window.

Matapos makaorder sa menu, after fifteen minutes dumating na ang order nila. Chloe's eyes are delighted by those mouth watery foods and started to eat. Chloe was fully immersed by the food. Wala na nga itong pakialam kay Damon basta ang focused nya ay kumain at mabusog. Oh God! She's hungry to death.

"Your too hungry Cups?"

Chloe nodded while chomping the food inside her mouth.

"Bakit hindi ka masyadong kumakain? Ayaw mo ba ng food?"

But Damon hold a stare and focused on her lips.He gently rub off the remaining sauce into her lips by his finger and sucked it.

Chloe lashes lowered as she blinks multiple times. Gracious! kinilig sya doon.May mga kilos talaga ang binatang madaling magpalundag sa puso nya agad-agad.Magaling din itong bumuhay ng lukso ng dugong maging malandi paminsan-minsan.

"Sorry! Sobrang sarap kasi ng pagkain."

"It's okay I know, take your time wag mong madaliing kumain baka mabulunan ka Cups."

"Ikaw? hindi mo pa masyadong ginagalaw yang pagkain mo.Kumain kana,Masarap kaya!"

"Mas masarap ka." he gave a sheepishly grin while his both hands are trussing his chin.

Chloe's eye dilated and give him a death glare." Alam mo Damon kaunti nalang may ikatitirikan tong kutsilyong hawak ko."

Matapos yon sabihin ni Chloe ay agad na sumubo ng pagkain ang binata.Damon always listen to Chloe. He automatically do whatever she said.Takot lang nya!

"Cups?! Do you have plans for weekends?"

"Wala naman masyado Damon, Iuupdated ko lang si Doc Bismuth about the accident las-" ngunit hindi na ito tinuloy pa nang dalaga. She doesn't want him to worry about her. Marami na itong problema at ayaw nya nang makadagdag pa. "Available ako."

"Good, I will fetch you in morning, magdadate tayo Cups"

"Sure...san pala tayo pupunta?"

"You will know it,soon."

"Okay."

"By the way Cups, can I ask you kung kilala mo yung taong nagtangka sa buhay mo."

"Don't bring up that topic Damon, hayaan mo na tapus na iyon."

"It's a big no for me Chloe, hinding hindi ko hahayaan lang ang ganong pangyayari.He have to pay for what he did. I want him to taste the hell,to scream in pain and to beg for his life coz I will kill him with my own fucking hands." he hashed in anger

"Damon Please,hindi mo gagawin yan."

"But this is the only way to make you safe Cups because I don't let that rotten shit to harm you again." he flashed flames in his eyes. It's not Damon.Para bang ibang persona ang kausap ng dalaga.

"I know Damon, don't worry okay na ako.You don't have to do that, and the kill thingy...It's not a good thing Damon, You should stop thinking about cruel things and don't you dare to do that. It's against the humanity." Chloe said as she stared at Damon to calm him.Gracious! He's fuming mad.

All she can do is to hold his hand for him to come into his senses.

"Sorry Cups, I'm fucking worried. I don't want to lose you again."

"It's okay Damon,hindi ko rin naman hahayaang may mangyaring masama sa akin. By the way, you're cursing too much."

"This is me Chloe, I released my stress through cussing."

"Ahhh...ganoon ba...okay lang naman sa akin na ganyan ka.Kasi kahit ako aminadong ginagawa yan.Naniniwala naman ako na hindi lahat ng nagmumura ay masamang tao. Medyo bawasan mo lang kahit kaunti."

"Yes Cups" he saluted.

"Good boy."

"No Chloe,I'm not good.I have many imperfections, I'm evil and unlovable that's why my mother left me." He's face saddened,the pain is visible to his eyes.

"It's not true Damon..."she exclaimed.

"Thank you for still loving me kahit hindi ako kamahal-mahal."Chloe cut him off.

"Shhh... Tama na Damon, don't said that you're not worthy of my love, Coz you really are. After you save me for killing my self, Sabi ko sa sarili ko 'kung ako man ay magkakaroon ng katipan o taong pwedeng mahalin.Isa ka doon at deserve mo yon."

"You are the only man who gave me purpose to live again, to start again,and thank you for that."

"I love you Damon, Trillion times"

Damon heart melts after he heard her speech. That was deep and touching. Kaya nya nagustuhan ang dalaga. Dahil ito lang ang kayang magpagaan ng loob nya.

"I love you too Cups, my life neverless meaningful because of you.Pinagtagpo siguro talaga tayo para isalba ang isat-isa." Then he leaned forward and kiss her forehead.

"I will never be tired on saying I love Cups,promise."

"Oh sya... uwi na tayo.... inaantok na ako." Chloe said while yawning.

"Cups, Pwedeng matulog sa bahay mo?"

Her brow arched "At bakit naman Aber?"

he lowered his head "I can't sleep."
