Chapter 9
"Thanks Grandpa," Sav says goodbye to Grandpa Tacio. Grandpa turned to me. I smiled while holding my shoulder bag.
"Thanks grandpa. Uhh, we'll visit again." I saw Sav look at me so I averted my eyes.
"I'm glad hija and hijo, I'm sorry our house is small-"
I shook. "That's okay." I cut immediately. I turned around first when I saw Sav approach Grandpa and say something. We had purchases before leaving. We brought the needs of grandfather and his daughter and grandson.
From last night I didn’t know what to say to Sav. My eyes widened as I looked in the mirror inside the car. It’s all a mania. It was as if the cold water had poured me out of the realization all over. He is my uncle, I am his niece. We fuck! Damn it!
I used to watch these movies but I didn't know it would happen to me either. To me really?!I arranged a seat as he got into the car after inserting the bag we were carrying. He immediately sought my sight.
"Baby". He calls immediately holding my hand that is on my thigh. My eye fell on our holding hands. I was speechless.I Did not speak. Opposite of how I feel to almost shout.
"Talk to me. Are we ... good?" He lick his lips. I remember again how I kissed his lip. How he adored my every skin last night. My cheek heats up.
"Yeah, we're good. You’re my uncle. I'm your niece. What happened last night…It's nothing. Let's forget about it."
He cursed and let go of my hand.
My heart pounded and I looked straight outside. He turned the car on and he drove fast.I watched the field and the sky over it. It's only been a while and we're in the city. Silence prevailed over us.
But my cellphone rang inside my shoulder bag. Sav's jaw tightened as I looked at him when I saw Simon texting.
Simon: Hi baby girl. I 'm bored lets go Malling? Bring your rude friend. Pls.
I frowned and smiled. Obviously he like Jezel.
"Who are you texting?" Sav's serious question. frowned. Whatever expression he makes,he is very handsome.
"Simon. My friend. Why?" I gasped when he stopped the car. It's fast and smooth. He looked at me coldly and held out his hand.
"Give me the damn phone."
My jaw drop. "Why?"
He did not answer and grabbed the cellphone in my hand. I protested but did nothing to see his angry face reading my friend's text.
"What? Give it back!"
He grinned and looked at me.
“You were moaning my name last night
And now smiling at someone else's text? Seriously Rox? " He said huskily. I bit my lip as I felt my cheek heat up .Damn him!
He chuckled when I didn't answer. What can I answer? "Your lover,Simon, still has milk on his lips. What a cheap move." he said sarcastically and put my cellphone in his pocket.
I did not howl. My eyebrows rose.
"I also have milk on my lips so we fit." I raised my brows to him. Even if I can't look for long I can. I am not attracted to Simon but I am already irritated with Sav. Why does he still have to get my phone?
His jaw tightened but he eventually grinned. He leaned closer to me so I leaned in the back seat. I shrugged as I felt his lips on my cheek. When I turn to him I’m sure, we will definitely kiss.
"That one is so young, he has no money yet. While me.. " He pulled out the scattered hair and pinned it to my ear. He kissed my temple and my neck." I ... I have a lot of money to buy your milk. Even the milk of our future child. But now ... " He grabbed my chin and faced him.
“You're my baby first. I'll take care of you .. I love ---"
Before everything was gone and before I could drown more I pushed him. "Let's g-go home... Please."
He took a deep breath. "It doesn't matter what happened to us last night Rox. I know it's wrong but I'll fight for you. I've been holding you back for a long time. Now ... I don't want to ignore how I feel. I love you, remember that."
My tears rolled down my cheeks at what I heard. I didn’t look at him I disturbed my vision outside. I wish it was all a dream. I want to wake up. Back then, it was okay that I was the only one who knew how I felt. This is so difficult. In the eyes of anyone and God this is so forbidden.
The day passed with Sav busy in the office. Especially when I'm on vacation. He will finish more works because he is going on vacation. Christmas passed and we celebrate it peacefully. He gave me a bracelet with a heart shape. He is simple but knows how to love. Even I have no gift for him because I have no idea.
Daddy called me on Christmas. I was content for that . Although sad. Because there was nothing I could do, I went out of the house and would have turned towards the back of the doorbell. My forehead furrowed when our guard scolded a lady with turned brown covered her face. I took a deep breath. I don’t know why the beggars got into this subdivision.
"Please--" The guard was already pushing the beggar woman so I came near them.
"Who’s that ??" I asked and the woman was stunned. She is not a beggar. She is very pretty but she covers up and looks like rags.
"Amara ?!" she startled.
"Leave before I drag you away!" our guard shouted as I almost pulled the woman in my hand. She was crying and begging. I don't know but my heart is pounding.
"Amara! It's you!"
"Go away!" The guard shouted angrily and pulled the woman away. I can not move.It was like I was true that my name is Amara.
