Pilyong ngiti ang sumilay sa labi ni Brielle habang papalapit kay Ivana. His desire was awakened when he saw an admiring look from his wife.
"Wipe your drool, wife! You've seen my sexy naked body several times, but you still couldn't hide your desire towards me,"
Ivana blushed when she heard Brielle's naughty words. She choked back the lump that forms inside her throat, then smirked. "Excuse me, it's you who can't resist your desire,"
Brielle stood next to her and gradually loosened the towel and let it drop down his feet, exposing his nakedness. Mabilis na nagtakip ng mukha si Ivana ng makita ang hubad na katawan ni Brielle.
"Hahaha, ano ka teenager? Bakit ang pula ng mukha mo at nagtakip ka pa talaga," dumukwang si Brielle at bumulong sa kanang tenga niya.
Hindi pa rin niya tinanggal ang mga kamay na nakatakip sa buong mukha niya habang tumugon dito. "My gosh, tanghaling tapat Santillian, makahubad ka rin wagas. Magbihis ka na nga at baka biglang pumasok si Kyree di nakalock ang pinto,"
Brielle fastened his steps towards the door and locked it. Mabilis rin siyang bumalik sa harapan mismo ng asawa niya na tila di pa rin nakahuma matapos siyang maghubad sa harapan nito.
"Hmm, care to remove your hands and look at me?" His tone was arousing some pleasurable desire.
Bago pa man niya matanggal ang mga kamay sa mukha naramdaman na niyang kinarga siya ni Brielle at ibinaba sa kama. Brielle quickly climbs to the bed and imprisons Ivana's body beneath him. He lowered down his head and began to rain tiny kisses on her lips.
"We should make out for even a short minute," His grinning naughtily while his hand was busy making way down to her curves.
She managed to catch his hand and pushed them aside. Brielle drops his naked body beside her, but he hugs her tightly. "Saglit lang naman, madalas kasi nitong mga nagdaang araw busy ka. Di mo na ako pinapansin,"
Bigla siyang humarap dito at pinisil ang pisngi nito, "Ang OA mo, parang sa loob ng isang linggo di ka naman pumapayag na walang make love, suntukin kita dyan eh. Malalate ka na. Akala ko ba nagmamadali ka,"
He didn't answer; instead, he quickly pulled her under his body and managed to undress Ivana. Passionate lovemaking had happened in just thirty minutes. Bumangon na si Brielle mula sa kama at dinampot ang damit na inihanda ni Ivana sa kanya, habang ang huli ay naiwang nakahiga pa rin at balot ng kumot ang hubad na katawan.
"Take some rest, and don't wait for me. Tiyak madaling araw na ako makakauwi. Kailangan kong matingnan maigi ulit ang CCTV footage ng hotel na pinagdausan ng engagement party, baka sakaling doon makakakuha kami ng important lead,"
She jumped out of bed and picked her dress. After putting it on, she walked towards him and planted a soft kiss into his lips. "Sasabay na ako sayo palabas, kukunin ko si Kyree kay Yaya Santina, hindi na magandang sa kanya pa rin natin ipapaalaga ang bunso natin, masyado ng malikot ang batang 'yun at matanda na rin si Yaya,"
Hinila na siya ni Brielle palabas ng master's bedroom at naglakad na sila sa pasilyo ng ikalawang palapag ng muli itong tumugon, "Wala ka bang importanteng gagawin ngayong araw? Pwede mo namang iwanan muna kay Yaya si Kyree, di naman malikot iyon katulad ng kambal. Tahimik nga ang bunso natin di gaanong nagsasalita,"
She gave him a pleasant smile, "I am not too busy today. I can take care of our youngest son. Hindi na kita ihahatid sa baba, diretso na ako sa kwarto ni Yaya Santina,"
"Okay!" kinabig siya ni Brielle at mabilis na hinalikan sa labi. Napapailing na lamang siya habang sinusundan ng tingin ang anyo nito bago tumuloy sa kwarto ni Yaya Santina.
Pagbungad ni Brielle sa mismong main entrance ng bahay nila nadatnan niyang nakahalukipkip at nakatingin kina Brianna at Caroline si Brendon. Bakas sa anyo nito ang tila magkahalong inis at iritasyon. Naabutan pa niyang ilang beses itong mabigat na ipinadyak ang paa. Di nito naramdaman ang paglapit niya at bahagya itong nagulat ng tapikin niya ang balikat nito.
"Bakit ayaw mong lumapit sa kanila? Ramdam ko naman gusto mong makisali sa laro ng dalawa,"
Nag-angat ito ng tingin at sinalubong ang mga mata niya, "No Dad, I just felt annoyed of their loud voices. Saka di ko bit ang larong pambata," nakasimangot pa ito bago nagtungo ng ulo.
"Aminin mo na anak, gusto mong makipaglaro at panay pa nga ang titig mo kay Caroline. It's not good to be serious all the time; enjoy your life like a kid. I mean, sometimes act like your twin. Look at her, she's happy obviously. She enjoys what she's doing. There's always time to become mature when you're at the right age. One day, when I step down from my position, you'll definitely inherit everything, but it's too far from now. And take note, you'll need a wife, and we look forward to Caroline as the best candidate to be your future wife," His last words shocked his son.
Resisting the urge to argue with his Dad, Brendon rolled his eyes, "Nah, there's a lot of women in the future that way better than Caroline. I don't have any plan yet to settle down early once that time would come,"
Brielle frowned and cross his arms around his chest, "Why, don't you like her? Look, your twin sister likes her so much, and we also like her. Besides, she's the daughter of Mr. Yang, I'm sure Caroline will grow up demure and educated,"
Brendon waves his hand out of displeasure, "Dad, may lakad ka diba? Malalate ka na,"
"Ah, yeah! Napahinto lang ako dahil nakita kasi kita rito na di mapakali. Lakad na anak, lumapit ka na sa kanila at makipaglaro. Bantayan mo ang kapatid mo at huwag kayong lumabas ng gate, okay?"
Tumango naman si Brendon at ngumiti ng bahagya, "Sir yes sir! Take care, Dad!"
Brielle smiled at his son and left in quick pace. Hinatid ng tingin ni Brendon ang papalayong sasakyan ng ama bago ito nagpasyang lumapit ng bahagya sa garden area. Naghahabulan sina Brianna at Caroline at malakas ang tawanan ng dalawa. Halos nawalan na ng boses si Brianna kakatili habang habul-habol siya ni Caroline. Biglang huminto ang huli ng makitang nakatayo sa di kalayuan si Brendon at nakatingin sa kanila. Bahagya pang nakangiti ang sulok ng labi nito.
"Car… Caroline bakit ka humin---- Oh, my eldest brother seems want to join us,"
Tumakbo palapit si Brianna kay Brendon at naiwang nakatingin lamang si Caroline sa kanila.
"Bakit ka nandito? Akala ko ba busy ka?" pang-aasar nito sa kuya niya.
Brendon sneered at her, "Ang ingay niyo eh. Tili pa lang, binulabog na ninyo ang buong kabahayan,"
"Hmph! Ang sabihin mo gusto mong makisali sa pambatang laro namin," may diin pa ang bawat bigkas nito sa mga huling salita.
"Stop blurting out nonsense, I don't have any plan of joining your play," He pretended to be annoyed with his twin remarks.
Brianna was about to respond when Caroline's voice interrupted her, "Brendon, you can join us. Masaya maglaro lalo na kapag tayong tatlo," may kiming ngiti sa munting labi nito.
Brendon was unable to answer. He saw the charming smile on Caroline's pretty face, yet he can't show his affection, afraid to be bullied by his sister.
"Never mind, I'm not interested. Hinaan niyo ang boses ninyong dalawa, nakakaistorbo,"
Tatalikod na sana siya nang mabilis humarang sa harapan niya si Brianna. "Ayaw mo talagang sumali? Willing naman kami na isali ka, masaya kaya maglaro ng habulan,"
Brendon contorted his face, "Ayoko nga!"
"Sali ka na, subukan mo lang. Minsan lang naman ako makiusap sayo kuya," She blinked her eyes several times and acted like a cute little bunny.
"Ayoko!"
"Ang KJ mo! Minsanan lang ako magyaya sayo at baka huling laro na rin namin ito ni Caroline, aalis na siya sa susunod na buwan, babalik na sila ng London para doon mag-aral," malungkot ang naging huling tugon ni Brianna at tila naiiyak pa ito.
Napaawang ang labi ni Brendon ng marinig ang sinabi ng kambal niya. Pumihit siya paharap kay Caroline na tahimik lang na nakamasid sa kanilang magkapatid. "You're leaving?" He suddenly asked, referring to Caroline.
"Yeah. My family will return to London," Sadness added to Caroline's voice.
"Why? I mean, why did your family decided to return to London?"
Caroline shrugs her shoulder, "I don't know. I never ask my parents the reason behind it,"
It took a few minutes of silence before he answered, "For the sake of my sister's request, I will join your play,"
"Yay! Brother, you're the best!" Brianna exclaimed. At agad na hinila nito si Brendon palapit kay Caroline.
"Hmm! Isip bata ka talaga," He rolled his eyes.
"O paano, ikaw ang taya dahil ikaw ang huling sumali," nakangising tugon ni Brianna.
"Ha, bakit ako agad ang taya? Ang daya niyo namang dalawa," angil niya sa mga ito.
"Syempre, ikaw ang bago lang nakisali. Alangan naman kami ang taya. Dali na, habol bilis!" agad nitong hinila patakbo si Caroline.
Napapailing na tumalima si Brendon at nakipaglaro sa dalawa. He aimed to catch Caroline, but the little girl ran as fast as she could. An hour later, a loud happy screaming coming from the garden can be heard.
