Most of the time, Logan takes care of her emotions in bed. Being with him makes Erika feel comfortable, otherwise he would not be able to continue that relationship today. Kaya nga lang ay wala naman sila sa libro o sa teleserye. Batid niyang hindi magiging maganda ang kahahantungan ng ganong relasyon lalo na sa estado ng lalaki. Not to mention that he was Zion’s father, so Erika had to avoid him.Nang makarating siya sa kanyang condo unit ay nadatnan niya si Dylan sa labas ng building, tila may hinihintay roon. Nakasandal ito sa malaking puno na naroon habang naninigarilyo, tila ba kanina pa ito roon.She didn't stop, stepping on her high heels so fast that she wanted to disappear immediately.“Where have you been so late?”Awtomatikong natigilan si Erika nang marinig niya iyon. Nilingon niya si Dylan at agad na sumalubong sa kanya ang kalmado nitong mga mata, ngunit tila may pagbabadya ng panganib.“Mr. Florida, kung saan man ako nanggaling nang ganitong oras ay wala ka na roon. We
Erika looked around cautiously and made sure no one heard what Frida said before speaking. Kinalma niya ang kanyang sarili at hindi pinakita sa kaibigan ang kabang nararamdaman.“What? We didn’t go anywhere last night. Nagtaxi ako pauwi. Huwag mo na ngang banggitin iyon. Baka mamaya may makarinig sayo,” saway niya sa kaibigan niya at agad na nag iwas ng tingin sa takot na baka mapansin ni Frida ang tinatago niyang lihim.“Oh, I see…” Makahulugang sambit ni Frida. May nais pa sana siyang sabihin, ngunit tinapik na siya ni Erika sa balikat.“You should be careful and aware. I mean, I can tell you’re very in love with Gio and he is too. Ayoko lang masaktan ka na naman… Sana hindi na,” pag-iiba niya ng usapan.She wanted to show Frida her support at wala rin namang problema sa kanya si Gio. Katunayan ay naramdaman niyang mabuti itong tao at bagay na bagay silang dalawa ni Frida sa lahat ng bagay at sitwasyon.Ayaw lang ni Erika na mangyari sa kanyang kaibigan ang nangyari sa kaniya. She h
Wala sa sariling naglakad si Erika patungo sa maliit na open space ng school nila. Walang kahit na anong makikita roon bukod sa mga iilang mga puno. Bigla niyang naalala ang unang pagpunta niya sa lugar na ito noong nakaraang taon. A child from the orphanage climbed up this tree to pick mangoes and handed one to her.Ngunit agad na nawala ang ngiting iyon sa labi ng bata at napalitan ng iyak habang sumisigaw kung gaano nito kaayaw umalis sa orphanage. Ang tanging nagawa na lamang ng dean noon ay patahanin ang bata.The director who took over the orphanage also grew up here. Erika often helped the children and became familiar with them over and over again. Separated by a wall, the children in the kindergarten here are enjoying air conditioning and eating snacks in a room with excellent conditions, while the abandoned children over there are crying so hard that even this small home will soon be unable to be saved.Sa tuwing naaalala niya ang katotohanang ito ay hindi mapigilang maging
Logan was followed by several people of the same style dressed in black. When he appeared, Erika’s eyes automatically blocked everything around him, and he was the only one left in her pupils.Iyon ang unang beses na napansin ni Erika kung ano ang epekto ni Logan sa kanya. The man simply stood out from the crowd. They’re at the airport. Maraming taong pabalik-balik doon, at bukod pa roon ay may mga kasama si Logan na nakapalibot sa kanya, but in Erika’s eyes, Logan was the only one she could see at that moment.Putting aside that face, he has a unique aura about him that isolates him from the crowd and makes others become his foil. His sharp eyes searched the crowd, and the moment they landed on Erika, it was like knocking out glue, and he could no longer look away.Bahagyang umangat ang dulo ng labi ng lalaki nang sandaling makita si Erika kaya agad niya itong nilapitan. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. How could he? Simple lang namang babae si Erika, ngunit hindi simple ang kagand
There were only two people in the car. In the open-air parking lot, the street lights cast a dim yellow light, which fell on Erika through the car window. Her cheeks were blushing, and the red cloud spread behind her ears. In the cramped space, the strong rose fragrance on her body was like a feather, teasing him.Erika opened her red lips and bit his fingertip. Tila ba sinasadya niya iyon upang mas kabaliwan siya ni Logan. It's not painful or itchy, but it's like a candle knocking over an oil tank, instantly elevating the ambiguous atmosphere to the extreme.With such a face, she speaks so straightforwardly and does such seductive things.Logan’s dark eyes deepened, and the hand holding her chin became harder and harder, "Who taught you to do this?"Marahang tinulak ni Erika si Logan palayo sa kanya at nang makaupo nang maayos sa upuan ay agad siyang sumampa sa mga hita nito. Inangat niya ang kanyang kamay at marahang hinaplos ang mukha ni Logan. Ramdam na ramdam niya ang kakaibang i
Lalong namungay ang mga mata ni Logan habang nakatingin kay Erika na nakatayo sa kanyang harapan. Tila pagod na pagod ito. Marahil ay marami itong ginawa sa business trip kung saan ito nanggaling at heto siya, sinusubukan pa rin ang lahat para lang akitin ito. Lihim tuloy na nakaramdam ng hiya si Erika para sa kanyang sarili.“Is there anything to eat?” Malamyang tanong sa kanya ng lalaki kaya saglit siyang nagulat dahil hindi iyon ang kanyang inaasahan.“Huh?”Bigla niya tuloy naisip na baka nagbibiro lamang ito gaya ng nabasa niya sa internet. There was a scene from a famous movie wherein the male lead joked about eating and the female lead suddenly removed his pants. Iyon kaya ang tinutukoy niya?But Erika hesitated when she noticed the tired look of Logan. Tila ba babagsak na ang mga mata nito anumang oras. Kung naghahanap ito ng makakain, hindi kaya hindi pa ito kumakain mula kaninang flight niya?“Meron naman, pero lulutuin pa ang nasa ref. I can cook if you want to wait—”“Can
The two of them had done it many times, mostly in hotels, but this was the first time they had done it in the kitchen.Hindi maiwasang kabahan ni Erika nang mga oras na iyon. Halu-halong emosyon na ang namumuo sa kanyang puso, lalo na nang sinimulang lakbayin ni Logan ang kanyang balat gamit lamang ang mainit nitong kamay. Tila may hinahanap itong kung ano sa kanyang katawan.The small kitchen window was open, and a gust of evening breeze blew up, lifting her thin shirt, revealing Logan’s arms with prominent veins. Sa tuwing nagdidikit ang kanilang mga balat ay kitang kita ang mapusyaw at mamula-mula niyang balat sa kayumanggi nitong kulay. Naputol lang ang palalim nang palalim nilang halikan nang tuluyan nang bumagsak ang tsinelas ni Erika sa sahig at gumawa ito ng ingay. They could hear the slurping sounds from their kiss the moment they separated, na tila ba ayaw pa nilang mahiwalay sa isa’t isa.Masyadong nakakadarang na ang halikan na iyon para tumigil pa sila.Erika blushed so
Ang totoo ay ayos lang naman kay Erika na hindi na lagyan ng kahit na anong gamot o ointment ang kanyang paso, ngunit patagal nang patagal ay lalong tumitindi ang hapdi nito kaya hinayaan na niya si Logan. It’s true that her mother had really taken care of her skin. Ngayon lamang siya nagkasugat ng ganito kalala.She even said that only when a woman is more delicate will men feel pity for her.Erika struggled to get up.“Ang sakit. Huwag mo na lang lagyan…”Bago pa siya makaalis sa hawak ng lalaki ay mabilis siya nitong nahawakan sa kanyang baywang at tila inayos pa ang kanyang pwesto.“Don’t move. You need this, kung ayaw mong magpeklat ito nang malaki,” anito sa kanya na tila ba magulang na nag aalala. Napanguso siya roon. His voice was calm and authoritative, and his expression was so majestic that people dared not resist. Erika stopped struggling and had no choice but to lie in his arms obediently.Kababalik lamang nito galing grocery at katatapos lang din kumain ng noodles na hi
