18:
WITH trembling hands, Page took the car key so she could get out immediately.
She was already at the hotel inn that Yanie had taken for her to stay tonight. The car that belonged to her dad could be traced so Yanie would take it away right now.
She will stay overnight at that hotel inn and she and her friend will go to Manila tomorrow. From there, she will leave the country.
It’s up to her after that.
But before she can think about her plans abroad on her own, she must first fix the feeling that is entrenched in her system now.
Bullcrap, why is there such a kind of pill G? Only the devil can do that and will support that!
“Where are you now?” Yanie whispered into the earphone that was still plugged into her ear.
“Parking lot already.”
“Good, I’ll meet you.”
A few moments later, Yanie’s there. She immediately handed her the car key. They need to speed up their action and maybe the governor can trace them, they only have a small area. If there is one thing she has to be thankful for, it is that she is always missing in action at her parents’ business events so people don’t know that she is the daughter of them, it will still be a little difficult for Governor Hanz Marciano to determine where she is in the part of Ilocos Norte.
“‘Quick, I’m feeling so hot,” she said quickly to Yanie.
But her friend grabbed her by the shoulder and presented her at her face and stared at her for a while. “Room 501, left side.”
“Copy.”
“Listen, there’s someone sleeping there right now, Page.”
She frozed. “What?!” Why is there someone? When the effect of the medicine that Hanz mixed into her drink had already eaten away at her!
Yanie wiped away the sweat that was already forming on her forehead. “He’s stranded, the flood is high outside. Even he doesn’t want to be stranded in this place. The poor man even has a fever, too bad. I just gave him alcohol to sleep- ”
“Why didn’t you tell me right away!” she complained to her friend.
“Er, if I told you, you’re going to find another hotel inn, we don’t have plenty of time for that, Page. We need to act faster. The governor is our opponent here.”
“Hayst, is that a stranger?”
Yanie smiled. “Totally, but oh, he’s handsome. Anyway, that’s right! You can test that pill you’ve drunk courtesy of Marciano!”
She rolled her eyeballs. Yanie said that as if this was a joke. She’s always like that.
The wind blew her away because of the intensifying heat he felt. She couldn’t answer her friend, she just pulled out from her hand the key to the room where she was going to sleep. She needs to take a bath or soak in the shower or whatever.
When she enters room 501, she closes her eyes in frustration. Shit, there’s really a man lying there. There are two beds, but to think that there is a man in the room in such a situation like this is really weakening the stability of the call of the flesh …
BLUE blinked. He was shaken after he clearly recalled in his eyes what had happened to him that night.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Because of the content of Red’s email, he has been clarified on the whole incident that particular night in Ilocos.
When he woke up, the woman who had just climbed into his bed was gone. If he thinks about it now, yes, Page triggered his phobia back then, but deep inside him that time, he knew his partner was the right person even though he didn’t know her very well.
Soulmate. He guess that’s what they call two people who don’t even know each other but the souls are already connected. He felt that way to Page as they worshiped each other’s bodies.
But wait, why is Page not there? It’s already 7 PM?!
The vibrate of his cellphone aroused his traveling spirit, Red was the caller.
“So, have you read it yet?” Red spoke when he immediately answered the call.
“Yes.” He went back and forth while holding the device in his ear. “Everything matches what happened that night,” he confirmed, specifying the report he had gathered from his hired investigator.
Red chuckled. “That really matches, Yanie herself is the investigator we ‘ve got.”
“Oh, we didn’t get her! She presented herself to us,” Grey irritatingly said in the background.
It was surprised to hear that his cousin Grey seems irittated, but that is not what matters to him now.
“Then good. Talk to her immediately, fix what needs to be fixed for her, Red. And, Grey, has Page already answered you?” Because she wasn’t there until that time.
He was already worried. He’s not a worried ass person but his nervousness and concern for Page can’t be forgiven now, especially from what he found out. Obsession can be dangerous. All too much, actually, can harm anyone. So he can’t be blamed now that this is how he feels for her child’s mother.
“No,” Grey replied.
“Damn! Where will she go this time? Why isn’t she here yet? I can’t even call his number,” he replied, annoyed.
“But Yanie replied, they are together.” He heard the laughter of his two cousins after Grey also said that.
“Don’t make fun of me now. I’m worried as hell right now, if I were just facing you two now I would have strangled you!” he whispered sharply to his cousins.
“Chill, dude, Page was with Yanie, they’re also stuck in traffic, like us,” Red said.
“Is this Yanie, who is Page’s friend, straight? Maybe she’s a lesbian? Please send me her bio now-” he was stunned, accompanied by a loud laugh from Red and Grey.
“Dude, you inherit that trait from Grandpops, we just found out,” Grey said, laughing.
“We can’t believe it, you immediately stereotype and judge someone you haven’t even met, you just base her sexual preference on her job, seriously?” Red said.
He faced his own palms. “Okay, okay, sorry,” he simply replied to his cousins.
They burst into laughter again.
“Why don’t we make things simpler here, Blue, you’re obviously so jealous you stupid CEO, but until now you’re still stupid to accept that,” Grey joked at him.
“What are you talking about? Where did the conversation go again-”
“Do you love Page?” Loud laughter was in the background again. “You love her so you’re so worried now. So you’re asking who’s with her, if it’s really her friend or what, well, that’s how it is, love is so cheesy,” Grey said in an exploding tone.
He scoffed, even though his cousins couldn’t see it. “And what do you know about love, Lexus Grey? If there’s a pole worn by a woman, you’re the top grabber!” he shouted back.
Red and Grey laughed out loud again!
“Men, no story without backstory, remember that.”
Oh. Lexus Grey even scolded him with a meaningful word, it was accompanied by the clicking off of the phone!
He just stared at his cellphone, which Grey had just taken off!
“Crazy…”
“Who?”
When he looked up, Page was already there! She has arrived!
“Page!” To his delight, he immediately rushed to hug her.
“Ack, that’s a tight one! Wait a minute, Blue!” She also immediately complained of his hug.
Well, he didn’t mean to hug her that tightly. But…
“Okay, I will relax now that you’re here,” he said, doing what he said.
“Huh?”
“Where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you for a while. I’ve been going crazy thinking about where you are …”
“Huh?”
“Page, next time hopefully, don’t leave without notice.” He sniffed her hair before he realized that he was sure his eyes were already wandering while facing her.
“W-What, haven’t you eaten yet, Blue Henson?” Her eyes widened, “Wait, don’t say you have a fever-” He interrupted her when he grabbed her and kissed the palm of her hand that would have touched his forehead.
Her eyes rolled again in shock. “H -Hey! What …”
“I don’t know how to assess how I’m feeling, Page. As far as I know, I’m worried about you too much right now. I’m also scared that you might not come home. And even in my own ears it’s creepy to hear, but… ”
She bit her lower lip to stop her smile from appearing.
He was very aggressive against his own. “Don’t make fun of me, Page,” he said shyly.
But she giggled all the way up!
“Page, heck!” he shyly scolded her, but he could feel his eyebrows met too.
He was also a little annoyed because he had already told all of his unexplainable feelings, but still, she really laughed and even more so, darn it.
His brain was in that such a state when Page jumped on him, even though he was surprised by it and he caught her quickly.
“I was thrilled, so, I laughed.”
“Wow, you have a different kind of thrill, miss.” He raised an eyebrow jokingly at her. She giggled.
He had to pretend to be rude because she was more beautiful in his eyes now that their faces were so close together.
“You’re cute, Blue Dodge.” She pressed her forehead to his forehead.
He was swallowed. “W-Wait… what are you going to do…?”
She continuously giggled. “Are you itching already?”
“H-Huh?”
“Be patient just in case…”
He even heard Page say that before she kissed her pitying lips.
This is his first real kiss. He probably didn’t know anything about women but here is this woman, coming into his life at the right time and was willing to teach her more than to overcome his fear…
More than the love he feels now for her…
