Chapter 23
“Maybe, both of you want to separate? You’ve been hugging for hours! Are you going to say goodbye to Mr. Monterio? Anya, I thought you were a Filipina girl?”From the kitchen, Anya’s Pappi appeared in front of her and Andrius. He kept looking at them while they were smiling. He stared at them for a moment when he decided to sit on the opposite sofa. He turned on their T. V and immediately watched Netflix while glanced at them every second.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Anya raised an eyebrow at her Pappi but the latter stared back at her and raised an eyebrow as well. She sighed and sat on the sofa next to Andrius. She immediately leaned her head on his shoulder and for a moment she felt him adjusting so that she could have a better position. She looked up and smiled. Andrius was just so sweet to her. He was very possessive but she liked the feeling. She felt special to everyone because of it.
“You’re very fragile, Anya,”Pappi whispered. As usual, he was watching Kdrama.
“Aren’t you going to sleep, Pappi?”Anya asked. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it was past nine o’clock. Andrius did not return home so he would spend the night at their house.
His Pappi turned to her and raised an eyebrow. He looked at them confused then sigh.”By the way, Mr. Monterio. This house has a law. When-”
“Pappi stop!”Anya objected to whatever her father would say. She even stomped on the floor like a child. She frowned at him.
“What is it?”Andrius asked Anya confusedly. His eyes was also reflected in astonishment.
Anya watched her Pappi leave. She wondered where he was going. When he returned, he was carrying a blanket and a pillow.
“In short, it is forbidden that you two would sleep together. So, you can sleep here in the living room Mr. Monterio. And you are not allowed to crawl on my daughters room!”Pappi continued as he laid down the pillow and blanket in front of them. After turning off the TV, he went up the stairs and looked like he was going to sleep.
“So, you must have heard,”Anya teased. She smiled at Andrius mockingly while lifting her eyebrows. When Andrius made a face, she instantly laughed.
Anya laughed so hard. She seemed so happy. She was still laughing when Andrius pulled her close and kissed her savagely. She got appalled, but responded to the kiss, after.
“My kisses were the only way to shut your mouth,”Andrius murmured in between their kisses. Anya smiled because of that. They savored each other’s lips again, before they parted.
“No cuddle for tonight Mr. Monterio,”Anya whispered. Andrius groaned in frustration because of that. He wanted to cuddle her when she sleeps, but Mr. de Vega was the law.
“I want to feel you, baby,”Andrius sighed. He seemed problematic for something he couldn’t really determine.
“But you know, we can comply with the law!”Anya said happily.
Andrius frowned at what Anya said. He was thinking about what she said a while ago. He already heard those words”restricted”,”law”and”comply”. He was sure it was from a viral video. He just couldn’t remember who. It doesn’t matter anyway, what interests him the most was that they can comply with Pappi’s law.
“How?”he said, interested.
Anya laughed and stood up. She walked straight to the kitchen. After a few minutes, Anya brought six bottles of Cerveza Negra. A dark lager beer. His eyebrows furrowed from the sight. But Anya seemed like it. She was smiling while giving him the beer.
“Come here.”Anya took Andrius’hand and pulled him to sit on their carpeted floor.
Surprisingly, Andrius still followed. He sat in front of her and stared at her.”You have something naughty in mind, baby?”he asked.
Andrius smirked and moved his head sideways. He just couldn’t believe Anya was acting like this. She was one feisty woman but never naughty. Only now. Only for him. The thought of it made him smile even more.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
They said at the same time gluing the bottle of beer they were holding. They looked at each other and smiled. While drinking the beer they were holding at the same time.
“Pwe! It tastes ugly.”
Andrius chuckled because of that. It was obvious that Anya was not used to drinking. He shook his head. He was a pro in drinking liqour. While Anya acted like a newbie. He knew that she was just sympathetic to him. Maybe, Anya knew he had a problem. Maybe she just felt it.
“Thank you,”Andrius said after consuming a bottle of beer. He immediately consumed three without noticing it. Andrius admitted he was a drunkard. He has a strong tolerance of alcohol. He was not immediately intoxicated.
“That’s a lot. Maybe, after that I’ll be saint,”Anya answered and laughed.
Andrius raised an eyebrow. Anya looked drunk. When he turned his gaze to her, his eyes widened when he saw that she had not yet consumed the drink she was holding. He laughed softly as she leaned over his shoulder.
“Such a naughty, baby,”he whispered over her head.
“What are you! I’m not drunk, yet. I just love the feeling when I lean on you like this,”Anya answered him and squeezed herself even closer to him. Andrius smiled at what he heard from her. Few words, but it gave him so much emotion. Emotion that was new to him. Emotions that even himself he couldn’t even name.
Andrius stopped drinking his beer. He leaned his head on top of Anya’s head too. He closed his eyes and let himself be drowned by the moment. Peace, calm and quiet with Anya were enough. Enough to heal his chaotic life.
“I think I love you, Andrius.”
Andrius instantly stiffened. He thought a naughty Anya surprised him already. But her confession surprised him the most.
Anya stayed away from Andrius and slowly looked up at him. Her eyes widened as she stared at him. Anya does not know why she said those words to Andrius. It just slipped in her mouth. While, Andrius tilted his head and stared at her too, intently. His blue eyes were raging with so much anticipation. He stared at her intently. He moved closer again and lifted his hand to touch her face.
Anya closed her eyes when she felt him tracing her jawline to the tip of her lips. He even touched her pointed nose. She let him go to the things he does because even if she stopped it, she was still a traitor. He loved Andrius’way of how it awakened all his senses.
“I like you, too. And I fucking want you now, baby,”Andrius whispered closely in her face.
Anya opened her eyes and was greeted by his blue eyes. Andrius was just an inches away from her. He smiled at her and without hesitation kissed her on the lips. A strange kiss. It was not the Monterio way kiss either. This one was different.
His kisses were slow and sensually gentle. It was teasing her to ask for more. While, it is also telling her something she only could define. And she smiled between their kisses, when she did realize.
Anya’s chest tightened as if she could not believe everything. Who would have thought that Andrius Monterio would like her? It was very impossible. She was not the type he liked.
Andrius was still kissing her and she was kissing him back too with the same passion and intensity he was giving her. The feeling was divine. Andrius ended the kiss and hugged her tight. They were both panting to have some air to breathe. Their kisses were exhausting and suffocating.
“I want you too, Andrius.”
Andrius looked surprised but he smiled after. He moved his head sideways, which made Anya pout. He respected Anya’s father and his laws. He also thinked, it was inappropriate to do their session in her own house. He smirked and chuckled softly while looking at Anya. Amusement took over him. He just couldn’t help himself to be amazed and be mesmerized at the same time. She was insatiable indeed. So, he kissed her again as the whole living room lit up. Anya and him looked at each other in shock and Anya’s eyes widened.
Anya slowly looked at the switch of their light and saw Pappi was standing there.
He raised an eyebrow.”Wow! You two go to sleep. It’s already morning! You really drink to comply with the law. You’re both stubborn!”Pappi said as he approached them. When he got closer, he pulled Anya and pinched her groin.
“Goodnight, Andrius,”Anya bid Andrius goodbye.
“Goodnight, baby,”Andrius replied.
They smiled at each other. Anya would have approached Andrius when Pappi pulled her back. Anya frowned while Andrius shook his head and suppressed a grin. Looked like he had to woo Anya’s father too.
“Goodnight is enough! Kissing is forbidden, remember? My daughter’s lips are worn out. Then apply distance when you have time!”Pappi’s exaggerated statement to them.
Both Andrius and Anya burst out laughing at what he had said. Anya let go when her father pulled her out of the living room. She even gave a flying kiss when she left. Andrius shook his head as he adjusted his bed. She smiled. It looked like he no longer needed Anya’s hug to make her mind peaceful because just her laugh and admitting her feelings for him earlier was enough for him.
