POSSESSIVE 26: Terron Dashwood

CHAPTER 11

CHAPTER 11

WHEN Eva came out of the bedroom, she had already changed into her swimwear—a black boy-leg one-piece swimsuit with long sleeve. Hindi siya komportable magsuot ng swimsuit na kita ang singit o cleavage niya kaya halos lahat ng swimsuit niya balot na balot ang katawan niya.

Kaagad na naramdaman ni Eva ang mga mata ni Terron sa kaniya.

Humarap siya sa binata saka tinaasan ito ng kilay. "What?"

"Nothing." He smiled. "You look sexy."

Umingos si Eva. "Mamumulaklak ang bibig mo sa mga pinagsasasabi mo, Your Grace. How can this kind of swimwear look sexy?"

Terron shrugged. "You can still be sexy without showing skin, Ev."

That was pleasing to hear, so she happily went to the swimming platform of the yacht. Sumunod naman si Terron kay Eva para samahan ito. Just in case something unexpected happens.

"Naglagay ka na ba ng sunblock?" Tanong ni Terron sa dalaga na kaagad umahon ang ulo pagkatapos nitong basta na lang tumalon sa dagat.

"Yep."

Terron sat on the edge of the swimming platform to accompany Eva and watched her swim around. Halatang magaling itong lumangoy kaya medyo nabawasan ang pag-aalala niya, pero hindi pa rin siya umalis.

Dahil sa anggulo ng araw at sa posisyon ng yate, hindi masyadong naarawan ang swimming platform na kinauupuan ni Terron kaya malaya siyang samahan doon si Eva.

"Don't swim too far, Ev." Paalala niya rito.

"Yes, Your Grace."

Terron leaned back against the wall behind him and just watched Eva silently. It was peaceful and therapeutic. Just the sound of the water gently lapping against the yacht and the sound of Eva swimming around. Terron had this dangerous thought of just staying there and continue this kind of life.

Palagi niyang pinapaalala sa sarili na kailangan niyang umuwi dahil may mga responsabilidad siya, pero sa pagkakataong 'yon, kung magiging tapat siya sa sarili niya, ganitong buhay ang gusto niya.

Tahimik. Payapa. At higit sa lahat, kasama niya si Eva.

Sa bawat araw na dumadaan, mas lalong lumalalim ang pagkagusto niya sa dalaga. It was a good thing that he just realized his feelings now because if he had realized them a year ago, he would be completely crazy about Eva right now.

Napatigil sa pag-iisip si Terron ng makitang lumalangoy patungo sa kaniya ang dalaga pero hindi ito umahon ng makalapit ito sa swimming platform. She just floats in front of him while glancing at him from time to time, as if she had something to say.

He was amused, so he pretended not to notice her.

Finally, she called for his attention.

"Your Grace?"

He looked down at Eva. "Hmm?"

Sinilip nito ang kayak na naka-tali si gilid ng yate. Halata ang interes sa mukha nito. "Puwede ko bang gamitin 'yong kayak para pumunta sa dalampasigan? Babalik din ako kaagad. Promise."

He had always been overprotective of Eva even before he realized and admit his feelings for her, so his answer was an automatic "no". But seeing Eva's interest on the kayak and the beach at the distance, he couldn't say "no".

What a dilemma. He sighed and chose to compromise. "Puwede ba akong sumama? I'll be worried sick if I stayed here and just wait for you to return."

Eva's face softened before she agreed. "Sige ba! Kakapagod kayang mag-sagwan."

That made Terron chuckled, then he got up to change clothes and get some money just in case before fetching the kayak.
