Chapter Twenty Three
Valerie's POV
I was done unpacking ang putting my clothes in the closet. This was now my new home. I should be happy that I was finally with Axel but the sudden realization of this whole situation sank into me. I didn’t know what to expect from Axel. Mula ng umalis kami galing sa restaurant he never uttered a single word. He never showed anything other than icy indifference. His room was as masculine as he was, done in black and white with a muted gray colored scheme. Heavy, dark mahogany furnitures sat like sentinels against the walls. A black four post queen sized bed with a gray and dark blue comforter draped over it. His delicious scent lingered in the room, making me miss him. I let out a frustrated sigh. Siya na lang ang kulang.
I felt my heart constricting painfully. Nasa iisang bubong na nga kami, iniiwasan pa rin niya ako. Alam kong mali ang ginawa kong i-blackmail siya pero ito na lang ang naisip kong paraan para mapalapit sa kanya. But what if what I did would just draw him further away from me? What if all these backfires on me? I can’t let that happen. I would do everything to win his love, no matter what it takes. I would love him so hard he would have no choice but to love me back.
Magmamadaling araw na pero hindi pa rin pumapasok si Axel sa kwarto. I had already taken a bath and finished a movie and I still hadn’t seen him. Isa lang ang bedroom dito sa unit niya kaya wala na siyang matutulugan kung hindi sa tabi ko. Maliban na lang kung natulog siya sa couch sa living room o hindi kaya umalis siya sa condo. There was no way I will sleep alone tonight. Nasa akin ang alas. Hindi ko hahayaan na siya ang masunod. I quickly got out from the bed to check on him. Lumabas ako ng kwarto pero hindi ko din siya nakita sa living room. I saw a light pass by the crack of the door on the left of the living room, just right across the bedroom. Lumapit ako doon at binuksan ang pinto.
Axel was sitting in front of the desk in the middle of the room with his eyes fixed on the computer. Lumapit ako sa kinauupuan niya at huminto sa harap niya. He paused to look up at me with his broodingly dark eyes, his eyes raking over me in a way that makes certain parts tingle.
“Ano’ng ginagawa mo dito?” He coldly asked as his eyes narrowed at me.
I licked my lips and bit the bottom of it, slightly intimidated by his hostility. “Hindi ka pa ba matutulog?”
“Marami pa kong ginagawa.” Sabi niya bago ibinalik ang atensyon sa screen sa harap niya.
“Gabi na at maaga pa ang pasok natin sa trabaho bukas.” I said.
“Hindi ka ba nakakaintindi? Marami pa akong ginagawa!” He raised his voice in an angered demeanor. “Will you just fucking leave me alone? Nasunod na ang gusto mo, hindi ba? Bakit pati oras ng pagtulog ko kailangan mo pang pakialaman?”
I flinched in surprise, I was both taken aback and a bit scared. I never had anyone shout at me and I had never seen him this angry. But I was quick to compose myself. No one had ever shouted at me like that! Sumosobra na ang lalaking ito. I had been nothing but patient and docile to him, which was totally the opposite of me, at ito pa ang makukuha ko mula sa kanya. The bitchy part of me was screaming to be let out. I’ll show him!
I flawlessly walked behind him like a model in a catwalk with my chin held high. Placing my hands on both his shoulders, I leaned down and brought my lips to his ear. “Unfortunately for you, I’m in control here. Not you.” I said in a mocking tone. My hands started rubbing his shoulders. “I’ll give you ten minutes. Hihintayin kita sa kwarto.” I whispered before gently biting his earlobe, my lips traveled to hi. Narinig ko ang mahinang pagsinghap niya and a sly smile crossed my lips. I nuzzled his jaw and pressed soft kisses to his cheek. “Ten minutes, Mr. Lavigne.”
Pagkatapos ay lumabas na ako sa library at bumalik sa kwarto. Wala pang sampung minuto nang sumunod siya sa akin. He went straight to the bathroom and then I heard the shower running. I snickered to myself.
I have you under my control now, Axel.
Maya-maya ay bumukas ang pinto ng banyo at lumabas siya mula doon, wearing nothing but a pristine white towel around his waist. He looked firmly at me with his dagger eyes as if he wanted to eat me whole. Tinanggal niya ang natitirang saplot sa katawan niya. My eyes went down to his thing. Even when not excited, he was still huge.
"Like what you're seeing?" He asked with a taunting smirk as if saying 'You're not going to get it tonight'. My cheeks heat up as I took my gaze away from it. That thing... I had held it, stroked it, it even went inside me but here I was, blushing like a virgin. Wait, virgin pa rin naman ako. Technically speaking.
Humiga siya sa tabi ko at tumalikod agad sa akin. Tandaan mo, Valerie, you're the boss here. Nasa iyo ang alas. Umusog ang palapit sa kanya at inilapit ko ang mga labi ko sa tainga niya.
"I don't want you to turn your back to me." I said.
He let out an annoyed groan. "Will you just let me sleep?"
"I will, kung haharap ka sa akin." Sagot ko.
He huffed before shifting and lying on his back. I cuddled up to his side and rested my head on his chest and wrapped his arm around me. His natural scent mixed with aftershave was drugging my senses. I wondered if I could be any closer to him. I nuzzled my face on his neck and inhaled his scent. This was where I belong, in his arms. I didn't need anything else because everything was perfect. At least that's what I'd like to think.
Ang sarap magkunwaring nasa tabi ko siya ngayon dahil gusto niya. We were now living under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed next to each other. Kahit sa isip ko lang, kahit sa ilusyon ko lang... ang sarap isipin na mahal niya din ako.
"Axel?" I called him, running my fingers on his bare chest. I lifted my head to see that his eyes were already closed.
An exasperated low growl escaped his lips.
"Where's my goodnight kiss?" Malambing na sabi ko.
His eyes slowly opened, magkasalubong ang mga kilay na tinitigan niya ako. "Abuso ka na, Val. Matulog ka na nga."
"Isang kiss lang."
"Valerie!" He scoffed.
I puckered my lips to him. He sighed before pressing his lips to mine, giving me a soft and quick kiss.
"Thank you, Mr. Lavigne." I said with a smile.
"Go to sleep." He answered.
"I love you." I layed my head back to his chest and cuddled tighter to him.
Axel's POV
After just laying here for a few minutes, I could tell by her breathing that she was now asleep. This brat just wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.
She was killing me slowly, and fuck she doesn't even know it.
Her beautiful scent, her warmth, her arms around me, her skin touching mine. She was killing me. She has no idea what she does to me.
I shouldn't be enjoying this. Dapat magalit ako sa kanya dahil sa ginawa niya pero ngayon nasa tabi ko siya, hindi ko magawang magalit. I liked the feeling of having her this close to me. I liked the fact that she was now living with me. Now I don't have to wonder where she goes after work, or what she's doing or who she's with. Ngayong dito na siya nakatira mababantayan ko na siya mabuti katulad ng ipinangako ko kay Jaime.
Boning his daughter isn't a part a part of it. Sabi ng isang banda ng isip ko.
She was in my care and I was just going to take care of her. There wouldn't be any boning involved. Ang nangyari sa party, iyon na ang huling beses.
Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang isang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa akin. The motion caused her to moan and clump her legs shut around one of mine. Fire shot through my veins as I felt her crotch pressed against me.
FUCK ME.
I stayed still as I tried to think of a way to get away from her without waking her up. Inangat ko ang ulo ko. I tried to gently slide away from her but...
"Mmm, Axel." She moaned in her sleep, nuzzling her face even deeper into my neck and her arm around my torso clamped down harder. I closed my eyes as I dropped my head back onto the pillow and groaned quietly. She was dreaming about me.
I cursed to myself when I realized I was in for a long, sleepless night. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the heat radiating from her against my skin and how it felt so good to have her this close to me.
"Axel..." I heard Valerie's voice whispering in my ear.
I grumbled in response, unable to open my heavy eyes. She slightly shook my shoulder. "Axel, wake up."
"Leave me alone..." Inis na sabi ko bago ko tinakip sa ulo ko ang unang unan na mahagip ng kamay ko.
"Ano'ng oras na, baka malate na tayo kapag hindi ka tumayo d'yan." Valerie said as I felt her ran her fingers through my hair.
My eyes slowly opened to see her smiling at me. "Good morning."
Waking up to her and her face being the first face I see in the morning made me feel oddly warm inside. I could get used to this easily.
But I shouldn't.
I ignored her and got up from bed heading striaght to the bathroom. I did what I do everyday. I took a nice shower, getting rid of Valerie's sweet scent on me. I didn't know how I could get through this, sleeping beside her in the same bed every night and knowing that I had to restrain myself.
Nang makalabas ako mula sa banyo nakita ko si Valerie na galing sa closet at may hawak na dalawang button down shirt.
"Inayos ko na ang mga susuotin mo." She said as she carefully layed down the shirts on the bed with a silver coat and a pair of trousers. "Tinitignan ko lang kung mas bagay itong blue shirt sa suit mo o yung white na lang." Sabi niya habang tinitignan ang mga iyon. She turned her head to me. "Maganda naman yung white pero palagi na lang kitang nakikitang naka-white na shirt. Bagay din naman ang blue. Ano sa tingin mo?"
"It doesn't matter." I said, nonchalantly.
I took off the towel that was wrapped around my waist. She looked at me with the same look she had last night, her lips slowly parting and her eyes widening. I wanted to laugh everytime she does that face.
She watched me put on my underwear and trousers as if she was watching a movie. And was she enjoying it. Nang masuot ko na ang trouser ko lumapit siya sa akin na hawak ang asul na button down shirt.
"Let me put this on you." Sabi niya.
I just shrugged my shoulders. Ipinasok niya ang isang manggas nito sa isang braso ko at ganun din ang ginawa niya sa kabila. Then she went in front of me and buttoned my shirt. I felt like a king being served and pampered. Pinanood ko si Valerie habang abala siya sa pagbubutones ng damit ko.
Itong babae sa harap ko na sanay na pinagsisilbihan siya ay siya rin babaeng nagsisilbi sa akin ngayon. I couldn't believe that the hard-headed and defiant brat could be this submissive. She smoothed down some wrinkles on my shirt with her hands before looking up at me and smiling. It had always drawn me in. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at aalis na ng pigilan niya ako.
"Teka, yung tie mo pa." Sabi niya bago pa ako makaalis. She took a dark blue silk tie and staIrted putting it on me.
"Marunong ka ba?" I asked with brows furrowed.
She nodded. "Ako ang nagsusuot ng tie ni daddy dati."
"I see." Simpleng sabi ko.
"O, 'yan. Okay na." She said, smoothening it.
Kinuha ko ang coat ko mula sa ibabaw ng kama. I hanged it on my arm and walked to the door. Pagbukas ko ng pinto, the smell of something delicious filled my nose. I followed the smell which lead me to the dining room. Nakita ko ang mga nakahaing pagkain doon. Ometette, bacon, sausage, pancake.
"Nagluto na ako ng breakfast." Narinig kong sabi ni Valerie mula sa likod ko. "Kumain na tayo."
"I don't eat breakfast." I said in a stoic tone.
"Kaya pala palagi kang nakasimangot sa tuwing magkikita tayo sa opisina." She chuckled and took my hand. "Umupo ka muna dito." She said as she pushed me down on one of the dining chairs.
"Ano bang gusto mong inumin? Coffee, tea, or... or orange juice?" She asked.
"Coffee, please." Sabi ko. "One teasepoon of sugar and no cream."
She nodded her head and went to the kitchen. Pagbalik niya may dala na siyang isang baso ng kape. Inilapag niya iyon sa harap ko at umupo sa silya sa tabi ko.
I took a sip of my coffee.
"Okay na ba ang timpla?" She asked.
"It's alright." I answered.
"Subukan mo naman itong pancake na niluto ko. At saka itong omelette." Sabi niya habang nilalagyan ang plato ko.
"Val, it's okay. I don't eat breakfast. It's just coffee for me." I said, trying to sound annoyed.
"Kahit ilang subo lang, Axel. Tikman mo lang itong mga niluto ko. Sayang naman ang kung hindi mo kakainin." She pouted. She cut a tiny piece of omelette the a fork and lifted it up to my mouth.
"I didn't ask you to make breakfast." Inilayo ko ang ulo ko.
Her pout suddenly turned into a frown. "I woke up early to cook for you. Natalsik-talsikan pa ako ng mantika tapos hindi mo kakain ito. "
I sighed, not wanting to argue with her so early in the morning because of something petty as this. She finally smiled when I opened my mouth at isinubo niya sa akin iyon.
"Masarap ba?" She eagerly asked.
Kibit balikat lang ang isinagot ko. It wasn't bad. It was quite good actually. I couldn't imagine her cooking breakfast for me. Alam kong sanay si Valerie na siya ang pinagsisilbihan. She was the life of the party, a carefree and an irresponsible brat. Pero ito siya ngayon, pinagsisilbihan ako. Maybe having her here wasn't such a bad thing after all.
I thought she was the same as... I shook my head, let's not even fucking go there.
