All Chapters of Chasing the Runaway : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MADILIM pa sa labas pero maingay na ang paligid. Nagising si Dorothea sa tunog ng humaharurot na mga sasakyan. Masakit pa ang ulo niya at hindi maimulat ang mga mata dahil doon. Mariin niyang naipikit lalo ang saradong mga mata nang subukang umupo. Wala sa sariling minasahe niya ang kanyang sintido. “Sakit!” she moaned while massaging her temple.Ano bang ginawa niya para sumakit ang ulo niya? Wala siyang matandaan. At isa pa, bakit ang lamig-lamig sa kwarto niya? It was usually not that cold in there kasi masyado nga siyang madaling lamigin. Sinubukan niyang imulat ang kanyang mga mata para hanapin ang kumot nang magulat siya sa kung ano. “Hmm…”Nanigas si Dorothea sa kinauupuan. Who…Mabilis pa sa alas kwatro ang naging pagbaling ng dalaga sa kanyang tabi. Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata nang matagpuan doon ang isang lalaking walang pang-itaas, nakatalikod sa kanya ngunit alam niyang hindi niya kilala. Malakas na kabog ang naghari sa dibdib ni Dorothea at hindi niya alam kung bakit, d

Chapter 2Father “Mama?” Pareho silang napalingon ng kaibigan sa maliit na boses na tumawag sa kanya. Dorothea found her little one standing by the kitchen’s door, cutely rubbing his sleepy eyes in his mint green, avocado-printed pajamas. Akmang tatayo na siya para lapitan ito nang mauna na si Rita. “Ako na. Alam kong pagod ka.”Tumango siya. “Salamat.”Pabiro siya nitong inisnaban. “Tigilan mo nga. Para kang others d’yan.”Lumapit na ito sa anak niya saka ito binuhat. Hindi naman nagreklamo si Raisen dahil sanay na sa kanyang tita Rita. Pinakandong ito sa kanya ng kaibigan nang makalapit. Agad namang yumakap ang anak kay Dorothea. “I’m sorry nagising ka namin. Tulog ka na ulit,” alo niya sa anak na humilig na sa kanyang dibdib. “You’re late again, Mama,” nagtatampo nitong sabi. “Busy kasi sa work si Mama. Don’t worry kasi I promised you we will go out this weekend, ‘di ba?”“With tita ninang?” He was talking about Rita who immediately smiled when heard the child’s endearment fo

Chapter 04 Girlfriend Dorothea wanted a longer break but she knew she couldn’t just leave her work. Ilang minuto matapos magpahangin, bumalik na rin siya sa kusina. Co-workers asked her kung saan siya nanggaling at ano ang ginawa niya pero hindi na rin naman siya nakasagot dahil nagtawag na ng tulong si Lucas sa service area. The weather was just a little warm but Dorothea felt like she was working under a hot summer sun. Pigil ang panginginig ng kanyang mga kamay, it was a complete struggle to serve the tables much as well walking with her wobbly knees. Gusto niyang kumalma. God knows how much she wanted to stop the frantic beating of her heart and the nervousness rocking her whole system pero paano? How would she calm the heck down if she was being watched with Clarence Eissen Palma’s hawk-like eyes? “Ayos ka lang?” tanong ni Lucas nang marinig nito ang buntonghininga niya matapos mag-serve sa isang table. It was the only chance she got to breath when she returned to the kitchen

Sigurado si Dorothea na pareho lang sila ng reaksyon ng babaeng kumakausap kay Rence sa mga oras na iyon."A-Ah. Sorry, Miss. Hindi ko alam na... girlfriend ka niya." The woman immediately excused herself, mukhang napahiya na but Dorothea didn't miss how she quickly scanned her before walking away. Masyado naman siyang gulat sa narinig para isipin pa ang pangmamata nito. "Sorry about that." Hindi pa siya nakakabawi ay si Rence na iyon. He already pulled the chair for her kaya napalunok na lamang si Dorothea bago umupo. Dikit na dikit ang mga tuhod niya sa ilalim ng lamesa. Tuwid na tuwid ang upo at halos naninigas. She couldn't believe how cool Rence was with all of it. Nagawa pa nitong itukod ang dalawang siko sa lamesa habang siya, hindi na halos humihinga!"Sorry about what I said," muli itong nagsalita. "You seem uncomfortable. I just thought she wouldn't leave if I hadn't done that. She's just so persistent and decided to sit here without asking me first. I'm sorry.""Okay lang

“SHIT…” Rence muttered in a low voice followed by their labored breathing. “Thea, fuck!” The woman pulled him closer, as if holding on for her dear life as his deep thrusts became desperate. He could feel her too. Dorothea was following his rhythm, back and forth, dancing to the tune of the dirtiest sounds of their overlapping bodies. They were so fucking near. “Oh!” Dorothea moaned. “R-Rence!” It was like the trigger for him. He muttered multiple curses under his breath and thrusted, filling the gaps between Dorothea’s limp fingers near her messy but still beautiful face. Rence looked straight at the woman beneath him. Kaagad itong nag-iwas ng tingin. “’W-Wag mo akong titigan,” she was almost whispering in her hoarse voice. And it was erotic as fuck Clarence couldn’t help but smirk. “Ang ganda mo, Thea. Why wouldn’t I look?” Dorothea bit her lower lip as her cheeks tinted with red. “Bolero…” “Hindi ako bolero kung totoo ang sinasabi ko.” “Hindi—ah!” Hindi na natuloy ang mga s
