• ARMS OF LOVE   CHAPTER 5

  IT was nice to feel the wonderful shiver that spread all over my body because of that kiss. It was too late when I realized that I let out a soft moan as Carlo locked my lips into a deeper and more passionate one. The kind that I almost can't breathe but I can still sense the tenderness and that gave me the reason to kiss him back, with equal fire, the same tenderness, and passion.I missed him so much, that kiss made me realized that this moment is all I've been longing for so many years. And it's like a dream that finally came true, as sweet and as electrifying like the first time his lips touches mine.Soon he released me too. My face was warm as I look up at him. I saw the amusement in his eyes.There is a part of my heart that wants to be happy about it. But that changed when Carlo spoke in a tone that seemed to awaken a part of me that fell into a dream because of that kiss. “Get in,” he said.I may look like a robot but that's okay because he ope

  I HAVE let out a sigh before I started dialing the cellphone number printed on the calling card Carlo gave me earlier. I was nervous and there is no doubt about that. But after all, I still want to believe that everything will work out. That everything will be okay, the way I always wanted it to be."H-Hello, Mr. Mendrano? This is Miss Guzman" I couldn't help but stare at the tone of voice when I heard the voice across the line."Miss Guzman" his tone just seemed so busy and I quickly felt ashamed of making the call."I'm sorry to bother you," I said in a tone of apology."What is it?" his voice was cold and automatically I felt sad but like what I always practiced doing since day one when I met him again, I decided to ignore and pretend like it was actually nothing."Would I like to make an appointment with you tomorrow? I hope its okay" my tone of voice didn't change and I secretly refrained from doing so.A moment of silence fell between the tw

  I JUST came out of the church when I heard my cellphone ring in my bag. Nancy, the butterflies in my stomach are so sudden. I was about to come home from the grocery store to help Nanny Reming packing and have lunch with her as well.The solitary and possible cause of the call immediately played to my mind. So in spite of my chest-beating, I responded. The conversation just got faster."All right, thank you" that's all and I put the cellphone back in my bag.The buyer of the mansion with his lawyer is at the bank. I was the one who wanted to talk to him so Nancy called me. That's when I called the attention of the upcoming tricycle and rode in it.I will give everything I can to save it. And I'm ready to do everything I can to not just lose it. But this time it was like I had to let go, even though it was against my will. Because obviously that's the right and good thing to do."I'm sorry, according to the lawyer there has been a change in Mr. Mendrano'

• ARMS OF LOVE   CHAPTER 2

  I WANTED not to cry but I failed. After all, I really need that, I have to put out all the pain I've suffered in recent days. It was when I hear knocks on my bedroom door. And since we were only two in that house, I quickly wiped my wet face.“Come on, honey. I thought you might forget dinner, so I brought your meal here ”when Nanny Reming entered. The old butler who had been with my mother Wilma since I was a little girl.I stooped and gasped. "Thank you nan" I replied.“Are you crying?” I could not understand but maybe because of the concern in her voice, I quickly wept again. It was then she approached me and hugged me tightly. "Tell me the problem sweetheart."I was then carrying the white envelope she had given me earlier. Since my mother Wilma passed away a month ago, I've been spending more time in our grocery store in Don Arcadio's own neighborhood. Well that is my way to lessen the sadness and the pain that I feel every time I thought of my mother's

  “YOU'RE so great” was Naomi's smiling and satisfied compliment when Carlo threw himself next to her.He smiled at the woman and then kissed her again. "Not as great as you" he answered and stood up one by one and took off his clothes and went to the bathroom.“Have dinner with me?” Naomi opened the bathroom door.From the bottom of the shower, he admired the woman's naked body. How wonderful. Perfect as if carved by a skilled sculptor. Naomi was a morena but her skin was smooth. She is tall and slender. Carlo felt the heat down his maleness so he immediately turned his attention to the bath."Hey" Naomi as he remained silent.He shook his head and then put his face in the shower. “No.”"Okay," the woman then turned away.At a bar in Makati, he met Naomi who is a manager of a well-known BPO Company. They quickly enjoyed each other's company and ended at the closest hotel. And that night was followed by another one and now it's been almost a m
