Ruby Red Stone

"Since when?"

Lucien asked while we were looking at his parents and aunt lilia talking, I sighed.

"I have known ninang Lucy since I was a child kasa kasama pa nito si aunt lilia sa tuwing bumibisita ito saamin dati. I bet we already met once but we were too young to remember it. years later when I joined aunt lilia, your mother's younger sister, I got to see her condition, she was in comma for 15 years. Aunt lilia told me that her family thinks she's already dead, but the organization actually managed to save and hide her."

I paused for awhile.

"She hid her because of her anger towards your father, she blames him for the tragedy. She tried taking you and your sister away dahil wala siyang tiwala rito, but your father didn't allow it. Masyado akong nagfocus nitong mga nakaraang taon sa mafia kaya hindi ko narin napag tuunan ng pansin, until I met the real you. Nang malaman ko ang pangalan mo, I don't know if I should tell you or what, so I asked aunt lilia. She asked to give her more time since she don't know if she can trust your father yet."

I sighed, nanatili lamang ito sa taimtim na pakikinig saakin.

"Yes nakokonsensya ako, specially that time when you personally told me your story, and I'm so sorry for not telling you earlier, I also had a deal with aunt lilia. That she'll let ninang to finally come back to her family if everything is over"

That time aunt really doesn't want to pero nakonsensya din naman ito, She should be, I know  it's hard but Mr San Diego never wanted this to happen.

" So I decided to have an alliance with your organization, gusto kong mapabilis na ang lahat... I want to do something, because I know that you deserve to be with her, that you've been in pain enough. I know aunt lilia did that because she's over protective of her sister and she's just worried and were very sorry for all those years na dapat kasama niyo siya, na dapat kayo ang nag aalaga sakanya."

I said sincerely, I gasped lightly when lucien suddenly held me closer to give me a tight hug. "Thank you..." he whispered, that made me smile then hugged him back. Matapos noon ay bumalik na kami sa kinaroroonan nina auntie, tears are still visible oh her eyes as she hugged Lucien tight.

"Sorry....I'm so sorry."

Garalgal ang boses na sabi nito saka humiwalay na sa yakap.

"If I only wasn't that selfish...I-if only my mind was more open to see things more clearly."

Patuloy ang paghikbi nito, Lucien sighed harshly.

"I understand." Tumikhim itong seryosong binalingan si aunt lilia ng tingin. "Enough of the blames, enough of bringing up the past, What important now is the present. We should all keep moving forward and just cherish the ones you have and let each moments be special."

Sumulyap ito saakin at ngumiti saka muling ibinalik ang tingin sa kausap.

"I'm sure that's what my sister will probably say, we were all hurted and the one who did all of this is gone already, I don't want to waste more years into hatred."

Saad nito, napangiti akong pasimpleng hinawakan ang kamay niya at  marahang pinisil ito.

"I just fell in love with you even more."

Bulong ko, Lucien smiled widely then gave me a quick kiss on my lips, natawa ako nang makitang namumula ito.

"So stop worrying already auntie, nagugurang ka na eh."

Ngisi ko saka kinindatan ito, Aunt lilia pouted, Nakita kong nakangiting nakabaling ang tingin ni tita Lucy saakin, I smiled at her sweetly, halos hindi narin siya nilubayan ng asawa.

"Also wag ka ng manguntrabida pa kina ninang lucy, love life mo nalang atupagin mo auntie, let Mr. San Diego prove himself."

Dag dag ko pa, She sighed harshly with her forehead creased. Ilang sandali ring nagtagal ang pag uusap namin bago namin napagdesisyunang pumasok na sa loob. Umuwi na yung mga buntis and that includes my sisters na nagpaalam naman na.

"How about our friends?"

I asked while we were holding each other's hands, Lucien shooked his head.

"Let them be, aalis rin ang mga yun kapag gusto na nila." He let out a boyish grin. "I want to be alone with you, ang daming istorbo kanina, hindi kita masolo."

I then chuckled as I gave him a kiss on the side of his lips, napasimangot ito roon.

"I want a real kiss Ruby, I've been craving to kiss that tempting lips of yours until it swells, but I am trying to restrain myself, Gusto ko ako lang ang makakakita ng reaksyon mo habang sarap na sarap ka sa halik ko."

Seryosong sabi nito, I pouted, but eventually smiled.

"hmm... possesive huh?" Saglit akong natawa saka ginawaran siya ng malalim na halik. "I like it." I said saka muli siyang hinalikan, napaatras pa kaming napa upo sa sofa ng living room, kumandong pa ako sakanya habang himdi pinuputol ang malalim na halikan naming dalawa.

His soft lips fits mine perfectly, marahan nitong kinagat ang labi ko dahilan para bahagya ko iyong maibuka. He grabbed the opportunity and stucked his tongue inside my mouth. Our tongue battled as we kissed passionately with a slow rythm. Animo'y sinusulit ang bawat sigundo ng masuyong halik na pinagsasaluhan.

I can feel his emotions with the passionate kisse we've been sharing, I think my heart is about to explode and I can't help but smile with the thought. We were enjoying our moment, his hands were embracing my waist tightly, pakiramdam ko ay namamaga na ang labi ko sa tagal ng mainit na halikan namin.

Slowly we ended the kiss, sinalubong ko ang mata nitong kumikislap habang puno ng pagnanasang nakatingin saakin. His eyes were full of admiration and has hint of a strong desire, I can even feel his hard thing poking my ass, and I'm not joking, his thing sure is huge and I don't think I could take it.

We were both panting hard, tahimik lamang kaming nakatitig sa isa't isa. Mainit at taimtim ang mata nitong nakatuon saakin, halong mapatid ang hininga kong nag iwas nalamang ng tingin. My heart is fluttering so fast just like his usual effect on me.

Akmang tatayo na ako ngunit muli ako nitong hinila paupo sa kandungan niya at mahigpit na niyakap, sinubsob nito ang muka sa tiyan kong nagpangiti nalang saakin at masuyong hinaplos ang malambot na buhok nito.

"Damn... I'm tempted."

He uttered, marahas itong napabuga ng hanging pilit na itinatago ang muka saakin, Pulang pula ang tenga nitong mas isiniksik ang sarili saakin.

"I'm so damn tempted Ruby... But I want our first to be really special."

Parang nahihiya pang sabi nito, napangiti ako roon.

"Pero bat parang gusto ng kumawala niyang kaibigan mo, pakalmahin mo nga."

Tawa ko, he sighed.

"I can't help it, blame yourself for being too tempting, you're the only one who could trigger my friend that easily huh... looks like he likes you"

Hewhispered on my ears while embracing me tight, that sent shivers down to my spine, napakagat nalamang ako saaking pang ibabang labi. I encircled my arms around her neck, this time ang leeg ko nalang ang pinagkadiskitahan nitong pagsubsuban ng muka niya, natawa ako doon.

Nanatili nalamang kami sa ganoong posisyon, he did not do anything pero galit na galit parin ang kaibigan nito, I feel uncomfortable and hot, pero ayoko pang umalis. But then I just remembered something, ilang araw ko narin itong balak sabihin pero laging nawawala sa utak ko.

"Love?"

I called him with my sweetest voice, natigilan ito saglit at bahagyang napahigpit ang kapit saakin. Salubong ang kilay nitong binalingan ako ng tingin.

"What is it?"

He asked, binalingan pa ako nito ng nagdududang tingin, I smiled at him sweetly.

"You're creeping me out."

He commented, I just shrugged, I still don't know how to tell him about this.

"Well since you were my boyfriend and I don't want to see you being hysterical, I think you have the rights to know." I started, isang masayang ngiti ang gumuhit sakanyang labi nang marinig iyon, probably because of the word boyfriend I just said. "So here's the thing."

Huminga ako ng malalim at seryosong pinakatitigan siya.

"Tita Martina called a few days ago before she visited me here." I paused. "It's about my father's company in italy, napabayaan na dahil siguro masyadong natuon ang atensyon ko sa organization."

Nangunot ang noo nito roon. "What about it?" He asked, "Well I couldn't ask Emerald and Saphire to handle it because of their condition, but I really want to take it back to the top, It's going well but It's not the same as before."

"Don't tell me you're gonna manage it?" I nodded my head when he said that. "Yes, That company is important to my father, siya mismo ang nagtaguyod niyon sa sariling sikap ang perang pinaghirapan niya, without depending from his parent's money."

I remember how he always talks about his success everytime we go to the farm, When my father is alive, the business is on the top and really successful.

"Aunt martina said that she's suspecting some of the board members so I volunteered. I want to bring back the success of that company, mahalaga kay dad ang kompanyang iyon kaya gusto kong maiayos lahat.."

Mahinahong pagkukwento ko, tahimik lamang itong tila ba nag iisip.

"So you're flying back to italy?"

He asked, tumango lamang ako roon.

"Then I'm coming with you." pinal na sabi nito, my forehead creased. "Then who will handle the organization?" Seryosong sabi ko. "My dad can do that."

I rolled my eyes then shooked my head on him.

"Your mom just came back and your father needs you here, babalik din naman ako kapag maayos na ang lahat, plus you could visit me naman. You should spend more time to your family first, wala namang kaso sakin kung LDR tayo."

Paliwanag kong nagpasimangot rito, Lucien glared at me.

"Then just manage that company here, pwede naman yun diba?" He said seriously with his eyes full of disagreement. "My father's company is facing a crisis Lucien, I should be there personally and just like what I've said earlier, your mother just came back, you should spend more time with her, bawiin mo yung mga taong nasayang, our relationship can wait."

I said with finality on my voice, Lucien sighed, humigpit ang pagkakahawak nito saakin. "But I'll miss you..." She kissed the edge of my nose then pouted. "I'll miss you so damn much, plus I know you Ruby and how could you easily bewitch boys with just by having an eye contact with them, I myself is a victim, and look? Your spell just couldn't leave me alone no matter how hard I try to save myself, lalo lang akong nahulog, what more to other guys out there huh?" Mariin itong napapikit at taimtim akong tinitigan. "I couldn't let anyone snatch you away from me Ruby, ako lang dapat."

He said possesively, natawa ako roon saka muli siyang ginawaran ng masuyong halik.

"I'm all yours Lucien..."

Malambing na sabi ko saka inilapit ang muka sa muka niya.

"And you're only mine." Ngising bulong ko. "I disagree with this idea." Nawala ang ngisi ko roon at tinaasan nalamang siya ng isang kilay.

"Should we just broke up?"  

I asked, naningkit ang mata nitong nakasimangot na umiling, that made me laugh.

"Give me all the details of where are you going to stay, I'm gonna visit you every week." Malumanay na sabi niyang bakas parin ang di pagpayag sa boses. "And don't smile at me like that." Mariin itong napapikit saka napahilot nalamang sakanyang sintido. "Are you sure youwon't take me?" He asked with his eyes pleading, I grinned as I shooked my head on him.

"I told you, hindi pwede, ninang Lucy needs you, plus the organizations needs you, si Aunt lilia muna ang magmamanage ng phantom org habang wala pa ako so wag ka ng mag reklamo diyan, my decision is final."

I said with finality on my voice.

"Plus you don't have to visit me every week okay?" Dagdag ko pa, luging lugi itong ibinaling ang tingin saakin. "Pinayagan na kitang pumunta roon ng wala ako, so let me see visit you whenever I want Ruby, wag kang masyadong nagpapamiss at baka hindi ako makatiis at isako nalang kita papuntang simbahan."

Kunot noong sabi niya, I chuckled then pinched his cheeks.

"I'll be a good girl, promise, so be a good puppy while your owner is not around, understand?" Ngisi ko, Lucien groaned. "Why not just bring this handsome puppy with you then? That's a better Idea. "

I rolled my eyes on him.

"I thinking breaking up with you is the best idea I guess?"

Ngisi ko, Lucien hissed.

"Fine! I'll just visit you every week okay?"

I chuckled then messed with his hair. "Good boyfriene" I said playfully, bahagyang natawa nalang ako sa reaksiyon nito.

"I love you Lucien."

I said sweetly, naglalambing na niyakap ko ito, his face sudddenly lightened, bahagya itong namula saka nag iwas nalang ng tingin.

"I love you more Ruby."

He whispered.
