Chapter 36: Chapter 36

ROYCE

Nelly's eyes narrowed, looking straight at me.

"Too bad your girlfriend didn't come with us," she rolled her eyes and looked away.

I expected her to be shocked to find me here in Palawan, not mad at me. I tilted my head while processing what could be happening.

"Hey, what do you mean? Girlfriend?"

I stepped forward, but Marica got in between the two of us.

"Look, Roxie Diaz came to us while shopping for bikinis, and she claimed that she is your girlfriend. Now, we need to hear your side. Tell us the truth," she lifted her chin; her eyes were stabbing.

I took it as a threat, but it didn't scare me. I'm happy knowing that someone is protecting my little doll. Roxie upset me; I didn't even want to utter her name. I despise her and never wanna get her close to my Nelly.

"She's crazy; we broke up almost 2 years ago. Don't believe whatever she says. I can prove I'm telling the truth," I said my piece with conviction, looking at Nelly and Marica back and forth.

"Royce, I trusted you because my cousin Andi said you were honest to Nelly. But this trust won't last long if you won't be able to clarify these things."

"Oh, Andi has mentioned to me that you guys are cousins. Good thing he's here, all my close friends are present. I suggest we spend the night out if that's possible for you. Please...," I pleaded.

Both women looked at each other, and their facial expressions softened. My heart rejoiced seeing Nelly at ease now. But I wasn't satisfied with the result; I needed to assure her of us.

"Sounds good to me; how about you, Nelly?" Nelina stared back at her best friend, her face hardened. "After all, we have to hear both sides, Nelly," Marica added.

Nelina let out a long breath of frustration before she pressed her lips together in a thin line, and then she shifted to give me a death stare. "Fine, just this one."

Marica chose a place for us to have a drink where she came with Nelly wearing a little red dress that suits her well. I waited to have her smile at me, but I failed. It was challenging to prove my innocence from Roxie's lies.

"Nelly, Marie, I want you to meet my friends, Santi, Leo, Rico, and Marica's cousin Andi. Guys, meet Nellina and Marica."

"Guys, nice to meet you," Marica said. Nelly nodded in every handshake she had with my friends and didn't bother to utter a word.

We settled on our chairs and had a drink. I applaud my boys for their well-behaved, like what we agreed on before the meet-up. I was desperate to get Nelly's trust again by telling the truth with the help of my best buds.

"Guys, being Marica's cousin, I need to speak first. Marica, Nellina, I can swear to both of you that Royce wasn't lying when he said Roxie is no longer his girlfriend. We are close friends that even the slightest history between Royce and Roxie was not hidden. We know him so well."

"I believe you, my dear cousin. But my question is, what could Roxie's motive be in telling lies to us? She seemed very confident earlier."

"She's crazy, I told you. Roxie ruined our relationship, and yet she dares to disturb me now. I don't wanna fall victim to her games anymore."

Nelina was the apple of my eyes for the rest of the night; I couldn't keep my eyes from her. She sat across the table beside Marica, and she barely talked. It was quite a long conversation but worth the time as we got satisfactory answers from Marica and Nelina.

The party was supposed to be with my friends in the bar, but I ended up sleeping with Nelina. My friends and I have indeed had a great job convincing or telling the truth.

My world was spinning around me, but I forced myself to stick my eyes on Nelly's innocent face. Her eyes were half-closed as we were both intoxicated with alcohol. Everything is silenced and worthless to me except my Nellina.

I caressed her cheeks, removing hair from her temple to better look at her reddening face. The tequila got her; she had too much of what she could tolerate. Nelina moaned at my touch; she whimpered like a baby while her eyes closed, which sent warmth to my body. I inhaled her scent; she smelled like lavender that I couldn't stand just watching her; I moved my face to hers, closing the distance between us. Suddenly, her eyelid moved, and she slowly opened her eyes. Nelina tilted her head, scrutinizing my face.

She must be mad at me. "It's not..."

She was fast enough to cup her hand on my mouth, stopping me from what I was about to say. Her hand shivered in my mouth, perhaps the alcohol; she's drunk. I held her wrist to support her when she loosened her hand on my mouth, replacing two fingers on my lips, hindering me from speaking.

"Your lips, they're beautiful," she said, trailing her finger on my lips.

Oh God, help me. I gritted my teeth to hold the urge to touch her. A different touch that I know I wouldn't be able to stop until I get what my body is yearning for. I know I'm drunk, but I'm still in my sanity. The tips of her fingers were soft on my lips.

Oh, Nelina, I want you. My mind and body screamed in silence. "Nelly, I love you. Please say you love me too. Would you?" I said, my voice pleading.

PLEASE. I prayed in my head.

Her fingers stop trailing my lips. On the verge of retracting her hand, I gripped her wrist, making her fingers stay on my lips. I playfully bit her middle finger. Nelina lifted a corner of her lips. She smiled at me, a smile that reached her eyes. "I love you, Royce," she said in almost a whisper.

I stopped biting her finger; it was as if the world had stopped spinning; only me and Nelly existed. My eyes widened, trying to figure out if I heard her right.

"Baby, please say it again." I pleaded as I pulled her into my arms. She jolted, yet she didn't object.

"I want you," she said, her voice soft.

That's what I've been waiting for. I didn't wait for another word from her. In a blink of an eye, my lips were on Nellys. She didn't protest and obediently followed my pace. Our kiss went wild and my hands, kneading her soft and lumpy breast. God, I love everything about her. It's not the alcohol; it's just me, so crazy about my Nelly.

To my surprise, she initiated entering her tongue; I allowed her, and I reciprocated at the same pace with pleasure. The heavy breathing, the touch of our fingers caressing each other, the oohs, and the aahs were our language of conversation.

Knowing that she's drunk, I initiate to take my clothes off. I noticed that my hands had their own mind to undress Nelina by then. Her dress was in her midsection, exposing her abundant breasts, a pair of temptations pointing right at me. When she was about to take off her undies, I held her hand, stopping her.

"Let me," I begged.

Nelly nodded in response; her cheeks were red as they could be. She was a bit shy when I fully undressed her for my eyes to see.

Nelina's pungent odor was like a drug, or should I say my drug. I've never experienced so high in life until I smell her scent. I dug into her; she was wet and warm. I lick her folds up and down and taste her juice, making her arch her back; I grab her ass, kneading them, keeping her in the pleasure of my touch. Her legs moved to the pleasure I bring to her core. Her soft fingers were on my head, giving sweet sensations to my scalp while playfully pulling my hair.

I playfully suck her clit, giving my tongue a toy to play with. Nelina screamed and arched her back even more. Yeah, scream for me, baby. Her moan and scream are the only music my ears want to hear.

We stayed at the same pace, licking and sucking her, kneading her ass while she moaned and arched her back in pleasure. I kept doing what I love to do until Nelly screamed my name, pleading. Her voice was brittle as she pulled hard on my hair. Nelly had gone in my mouth for the first time.

I adjusted myself in front of her, her eyes still closed. I leaned over to Nelly, caressing her cheek at the back of my palm. "Baby"

She forcefully blinked her eyes.

"Are you ready?" I asked as I fixed myself in between her open legs.

She nodded in response, looking at my shaft as she seemed to swallow a lump in her throat.

I didn't hesitate to own what I believed to be mine. Nelina entrusted herself as our body became one. I moved on top of Nelly, leaning my head close to her face, settling my elbow around her arms.

"Kiss me," she begged.

I let out an evil smirk. "As you wish."

I entwined our lips, following the same pace as our lower body. Nelina clung to my neck as our kiss returned to the wild pace. I locked our lips while thrusting my shaft on her stuff even faster, only her moaned escape that sent satisfaction to my ears. Our lips and body moved to the same rhythm until we reached our peak and screamed in pleasure. My body was heavy when I rested on the bed, catching my breath. I wrapped my arms around her and dug my head on her shoulder.

"Baby," I waited for her response when I heard a slight snore.

I couldn't help myself but chuckle. Nelina fell asleep after her orgasms. She must be tired; it wasn't the alcohol; it was me.

I locked my eyes on my baby's face. I don't even know how she managed to look innocent even while snoring. I chuckled in my head. I held her head a bit and rested it on my arm. There was no objection as she kept her little snore; that comforted me knowing she is mine. The thoughts of what had happened between the two of us keep repeating in my head. I wasn't expecting it to happen tonight.

I WANT YOU. Nelina wants me. The phrase replayed in my head for minutes after our heavy workout; Nelly surrendered herself to me tonight. I longed to be with her this way. From the tips of her toes, I stared at her bare and naked body up to her beautiful face. I pulled the sheet to cover our naked body, stopping it above her luscious breast. I stared at her pinkish angelic face until my eyelid closed to sleep.
