All Chapters of Something Borrowed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Nang makabalik si Misha sa tamang huwisyo, tinulak niya si Lucien kaya pabagsak na napaupo ito sa mabatong daan. She glared at him. "You did it again, you asshxle." Tumayo siya saka pinagpag ang sarili. "Bahala kang bumalik mag-isa, gxgo," dagdag niyang sigaw saka nagmarcha paalis.Naiinis na bumalik siya sa suite nila. Dumeretso sa kwarto niya at naligo. She went straight to bed right after. Nakasarado na ang mga mata niya pero ang tenga niya naghihintay ng kahit na anong tunog na magpapatunay na nakabalik na si Lucien sa tinutuluyan nila. She waited and waited as she tossed and turned until hours passed. She became worried when the night deepened and Lucien has yet to come back.Naiinis na bumangon siya sa pagkakahiga at bumaba sa kama."Napakagago naman, bakit 'di pa rin bumabalik?"Nag-echo sa pandinig niya ang mga salita ni Cedric tungkol kay Lucien. *I remember the first time we drink outside together. I was shocked because this fxcker turned into a complete idiot when he was

"Pinili ko ang bahay dito dahil may sariling training space dito na nasa basement.""And there is also something you need to know," dagdag ni Eveline. Tumango siya kay Eveline para hayaan itong ipagpatuloy ang sasabihin."Actually, the information she left me about you included a key to this house. I think that there might be some clue here kaya dinala na rin kita dito. Maybe you can find something here that can tell any valuable information."Napamaang siya. "Have you looked around? I'm guessing you did."Tumango si Eveline. "I did, pero wala akong makita. So, I'm leaving the job to you."She nodded. "I'll try to look at it. Any more information I have to know?"Umiling si Eveline. "Nothing. Just continue your training. In a few weeks, we'll practice your shooting."Tinapos nila ang pag-uusap at tinawag na ni Eveline pabalik si Lucien at nag-usap silang tatlo. May mga binilin ito kay Lucien at sa kanya bago sila nito tuluyang iwan sa bahay."Hon, we're cohabiting—"Hindi niya hinaya

Dapat mainis siya o 'di kaya magalit kagaya ng mga nauna niyang reaksyon tuwing hinahalikan siya ni Lucien. Pero hindi, sa pagkakataon na 'yon hindi niya naramdaman ang mga 'yon. Bagkos ay gusto niyang maramdaman ang binata. Gusto niyang tumugon.Kaya ginawa niya. Niyakap niya ang mga kamay sa leeg ng binata at hinila ang katawan nito papalapit. Looks like he took her actions as a consent to deepen the kiss. He coaxed her lips apart to let his tongue enter her mouth. She gave him an access. He squeezed her waist making her whole body shivers in excitement. She moaned.Hinigpitan niya ang kapit sa leeg ng binata dahil feeling niya mapapaluhod siya sa sahig dahil sa nanghihina niyang mga tuhod.Hinigpitan din ng binata ang kapit sa beywang niya habang eksperto siya nitong hinahalikan. He kissed her with so much passion and mastery making her breathless. He seems to notice she was out of breath so he let her lips go for a moment. They briefly stared at each other, then his gaze fell ov

The following days, Lucien continued to be distant. Tinuturuan pa rin naman siya nito professionally. Yes, he trained her like a professional. Hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o maiinis pero hinayaan niya lang ito sa kung anong gusto nito. At least, kahit galit hindi pa rin siya nito pinapabayaan. Nagti-training pa rin sila sa basement pero hindi na madalas dahil mas marami ang oras nila sa shooting range. Iba't-ibang klase ng baril din kasi ang tinuturo sa kanya. Before she knows it, it's been a week since Grumpy Lucien comes to life.Two days ago, they had an argument. No, more like she tried to talk to him and he got angry.She just asked him: "When are you going to stop being mad?"Then he replied nonchalantly. "I'm not mad.""You are mad, can we talk about this?" She told him patiently.He was silent for a few seconds before answering. "If I'm the spy, what are you going to do about it?"She was a little surprised. "Lucien, we know you are not. We trust you. I trust you."

Nang mapatumba nila ang lahat ng kalaban, nakahinga ng maluwag si Misha. Napaupo siya sa sahig at napatingin kay Lucien. He was walking towards her. He kneeled on one knee beside her and checked her wound. At pagkatapos ay tinignan siya nito sa mga mata. She just stared back at him. "C'mon. Let's get you treated," sabi nito na tumayo at tinulungan siyang makatayo. Dinala siya ni Lucien sa kusina at saka pinaupo sa silya. Binuksan nito ang ilaw at naghanap ng medicine kit. Ilang sandali pa ay bumalik ito sa tabi niya. Hinila nito ang isang upuan palapit sa gilid niya at sinimulang linisin ang sugat niya. She flinched when the cotton swab with medicine touch her wound. Napatingin sa kanya si Lucien."Stay still," he said in clear plain voice. Tahimik na tumango siya saka hinayaan itong magpatuloy.Bumalik ang tingin nito sa sugat niya at sinimulan ulit na linisin 'yon. Nakagat niya ang ibabang labi niya at pinigilan ang sarili na magreklamo. Siguro kung okay sila, kanina niya pa
