Chapter 28
In Athens, Greece, Alexander and Helen arrived. Helen was not able to complain when the man take her away from the mansion. All she know was, they will be out for a date but her expectations disappoint her. Hindi niya inaakala na sa Athens siya dadalhin nito.
"What are we doing here?" tanong niya.
"A date," he replied.
Nanlaki ang mata ni Helen. Ang inis na kanina pa niya kinikimkim ay biglang napalitan ng ngiti sa kaniyang labi. Naguluhan naman si Alexander sa inaasal nito.
"Are you a little bit disappointed?" he questioned her. "I mean, you expect that it was not a date are you?"
Helen creased her forehead. "What if I tell you that I was a little bit disappointed earlier? You take me here, right in front of a big and tall building... So what I am expecting? I guess it wasn't a date but the sounds of you now... it's different," she told him.
Alexander chortled and pulled her closer to him, kissed her forehead down to her lips.
"Sorry, I made you upset, love..." he whispered, apologizing in the most sincere tone. "I was planning to surprise you... yet I made you upset," naiiling na sambit niya.
She hold his cheeks and shook her head, trying to lighten the mood.
"It's fine, Alexander. Don't be upset. I am not mad at you okay?" alo niya.
Alexander heaved a deep sigh. He looked at her intently.
"You mean the whole world to me now, Helen... I don't want to disappoint." He uttered with so much sincerity.
Helen sighed. "I am not mad, Alexander. If you really want to disappoint me, then let's have our date. Continue your plans today and that's settled."
The man nodded his head and once again planted a soft kiss on her forehead. He felt so disappointed and upset of what she thinks but it doesn't mean that he won't continue the date he plans for today.
"This is my empire, love... The second largest building of my own sweat and hardwork," he told her.
Namamangha naman si Helen pagpasok nila sa loob ng building. Lahat ng employee ay nakayuko at binabati silang dalawa. May kaonting utos lamang si Alexander sa mga ito kaya hindi pa sila natuloy sa penthouse na sinasabi niya.
Hindi niya gaano maintindihan ang salita dahil iba iyon sa mga naririnig niya base sa pag-uusap nila ni Alexander. She was staring at him the whole time. She can't stop looking at him. From the way he talks, the way he moves his hands when he was saying something necessary to the employees. All of him was a fucking Greek God.
While staring, she didn't notice that Alexander was in front of her already. She looked away when she a glimpse of grinning on his lips formed.
"Stop what you are thinking," she said her voice was nonchalant.
Isang tawa lang ang narinig niya mula sa binata na kasalukuyang hinuhuli ang naglilikot nitong mga mata hanggang sa magtagpo ito. Tinitigan lang siya ni Alexander. Naroon pa rin ang pilyong ngiti niya hindi maalis mula kanina.
"You just love to watch me, am I right?" he then voice out.
She didn't respond.
"Damn it! I love how your stares speaks to me, love... Damn it!" he cursed but it was so sexy.
He kissed her again even if his employees were watching. He doesn't give a damn about it. As long as he keeps touching his woman, he can be possessive. He can be territorial.
Umakyat na silang dalawa sa penthouse. Habang nasa elevator, hindi maiwasan ni Helen na titigan muli ang binata na matamang nakatitig lang rin sa kaniya. Malagkit ang titig nito. Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng hiya kaya nagbaba na lamang siya ng tingin.
"Are you feeling dizzy?" he asked again.
Kahit alam ni Helen na nakakaramdam siya ng hilo habang nasa elevator, inangat niya ang tingin sa binata at ngumiti lamang siya.
"I'm fine, Alexander..." she said almost a whisper.
Alexander heaved a sigh. Mula sa pagkakasandal sa dingding ng elevator, tinawid niya ang pagitan nilang dalawa at sinakop ng kaniyang palad ang pisngi ng dalaga at muling tinitigan iyon upang mapawi lamang ang kaonting hilo na nararamdaman niya.
Pansin iyon ni Alexander mula pa pagsakay nila sa elevator kanina pero minabuti niyang obserbahan ang dalaga dahil ayaw naman niya na pangunahan ito.
Sa halip na makinig si Alexander, inangat niya ito dahan-dahan para buhatin. Mariin niya pa rin na tinitigan ang dalaga. Naging tahimik na lang si Helen at ayaw niyang makipag-argumento dahil alam niyang may mali sa kaniya at nahihilo siya.
"I'll carry you 'till we reach the penthouse, love..."
Amoy ni Helen ang halimuyak ni Alexander. Tila nawala ang kaniyang pagkahilo nang maamoy ang bango nito. That manly scent lingers on her nose feels like heaven. She buried her face into his chest and sniff him. She just heard him chuckle and then planted a soft kiss again on her head.
She couldn't count anymore how many kisses he showered for her from that day. All she could feel right now was happiness. Embarassment? She couldn't feel that. Instead, butterflies in her stomach arises. She's never been treated like how Alexander treats her.
Nang tumunog ang elevator hudyat na nasa floor na sila kung saan ang penthouse niya, hindi pa rin siya nito ibinaba hanggang sa mabuksan nito ang pinto ng penthouse. Kung paano niya nagawa iyon habang buhat siya, hindi na lang niya inintindi pa.
Pagpasok pa lang sa loob ng penthouse, maaliwalas iyon ngunit ang kulay ay kombinasyon ng itim at puti. Maganda ang bawat pigura na naka-display. Maging ang mga paintings ay may kinalaman sa baroch period. Ibig sabihin, ang kabuoan ng penthouse niya puno ng karangyaan.
Alexander slowly put her down on the couch. Nang maibaba siya nito ay hindi lumayo ang binata. She was being cornered by him. Her heart hammered so fast that she couldn't even breath properly.
"I love you," he mumbled softly.
With that words of affirmation, Helen couldn't hide her reddened face anymore. She pouted her lips which makes him chuckle.
"Damn, so pretty pregnant..." he speaks up.
Helen smiled. "Thank you. I know, I am beautiful."
Alexander licked his lower lip and stared at her with so much admiration.
"And I am handsome too, right? You can't be pregnant if this handsome did not impregnate you..." punong-puno ng kompyansa na sambit niya.
She rolled her eyes. "Oh, are you handsome?" she teased.
Alexander's smile fade in an instance.
"I am handsome," he insists. "Still the handsome who makes your heartbeat race in a bit," he added.
Helen can't do anything about his confidence. She just nod her head as she seconded on his own thought of handsomeness. Obviously, he is handsome but he doesn't need to think that he was not... Helen's thought in mind.
She cupped his cheeks, stare at him closely.
"You have this undeniable charm... Every time I look and stare at you. I can't stop fantasizing your handsomeness..." she uttered still staring at him.
Tiklop si Alexander sa sinabing iyon ni Helen sa kaniya. Hindi niya akalain na ganoon na lamang ang magiging epekto ng salitang lumalabas sa bibig ng dalaga.
"It's not just your looks, but also your presence... The way you handled yourself. You're so captivating the way you are, Alexander..."
A mixture of suprise and bashfulness as Helen's compliment him resides on his face. He just smile warmly on her to express how he appreciates her words and as well as, while feeling a little bit flattered and touched by her compliments.
"Well, I admit, but you are the one who's really captivating. You captivated my attention, my love..."
She smiled. "Thank you, agapi mou..."
Alexander was startled.
"Please, repeat what you have said, love..." he begged.
Helen bit her lip. "Agapi mou..."
"Damn it! I'm so whipped..." he stated. "You really know how to get me, huh. To make every moment unforgettable to me..." he muttered sensually.
