One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 163: | love you and the rest his history

"Thank you so much, Sam," He said right after he putdown. His hands were on my face and kept tracing my

facial features with his fingers. "What are you thankingfor when | just said I love you too?"

But he pulledto him and wrapped his arms aroundbefore answering my question.

"That's what I'm thanking you for, sweetheart, for saying that you lovetoo." And I closed my eyes when | felt

his lips kissing my hair repeatedly. "You don't know how long | have been waiting to hear those words again, for

you to say you loveagain." He then stared at me. "It has been six years since | last heard those words from

you when we were still together and it's also been six years since | longed you to say you loveagain."

"Well, | love you, Luke Marcuz Williams. | have never loved anyone else the way that I love you and I love you

too... | love you too... this is my reply to the countless times you mentioned those words tobut | hesitated to

say them back. | love you and | will always will." And those words were enough to deepen the kiss he gave me.

Ohh... How | wish we didn't have to end that kiss.

"You know what, | think | will have to talk to srandom guys and make sure you will see it," | winked at him. |

just had buckled my seat belt and he was about to start the engine but then he snapped at me, frowning. "Wait--

- cagain?"

"I said | will kiss srandom guys and---"

"Yeah, | heard what you said but why would you do that?"

"To make you feel jealous," | shrugged with the widest grin | could give him and didn't even bother with the deep

frown on his forehead.

"Don't you dare, woman!"

| bit my lip so | could suppress the laughter that wanted to escape my throat. He didn't even need to scream

those words to show how he disliked that silly idea. Well, who would be?

"Just kidding!" | said amid my laughter. "Yeah, | know you loveand | just wanted to see your reaction. | just

wanted to know if you will be jealous."

"Of course, | will be jealous! What makes you think | won't? You know I love you and | won't let any guy kiss you

nor touch you, for God's sake! You are mine!"

And that's the word I've been waiting to hear. It was just a joke honestly and | know it wasn't a pleasant one, but

| just wanted to see his reaction. It was a teenager Samantha always dreamed of seeing from way, way back

before and it happened... finally. "So, did you like what you saw? Are you satisfied with the reaction you've got?"

He asked with a grin playing on the corner of his lips.

"Yup, very satisfied!" | replied with two thumbs up.

"Oh, yeah? Really?"

"Uhuh, I like it when you're jealous, sweetheart," | winked at him. "And I love you more and your

possessiveness." And | winked again.

"Whoa! Jesus Christ, sweetheart, as long as | wanted to hear you loveand those sweet words, but please,

don't play jokes like this anymore. I'm going insane every t| think of such things!"

Hmm... and we ended up kissing again inside that damn sports car of him. | unbuckled my seatbelt and didn't

wait for any second and jumped into his lap and kissed him.

"Don't do this again, Sam," he said, gasping as he rested his forehead against mine.

"Don't do what? Playing such a kind of joke?" | grinned, biting my lip.

"Don't jump onlike this again because..."

"Because what? Don't you like it? You don't wantto kiss you, is that what you want to say?" | asked him,

smirking. | was still sitting on his lap with my arms around his neck and feeling his breath fanning across my

face. "No, of course, I like you to kiss me, but don't teaseagain like this next time."

"Tease you? But I'm not teasing you, Mr. Williams,"

"Yeah, if that's what you call it, but | want you to know that up until this moment I'm still holding myself back,"

He wasn't looking atbut at my lips, while his hands kept drawing circles on my waist. "So please... if you

know what mean," My eyes followed how his Adam's apple moved when he swallowed.

"I know what you mean," | nodded, kissing him on the cheek.

"Then why are you doing this when you know I'm not a robot? | know you can feel it underneath."

| bit my lip, trying to swallow my laughter because he was right. | can feel something swelling under my seat and

it slowly heating my blood and melting all my bones in excitement.

"Yup, | can feel it," | smirked, tracing my forefinger around his lips. "But what if | tell you I did it on purpose that |

intentionally jumped into your lap and kissed you?"

"What?" His eyes turned toin confusion but his heart began to pound faster under my palm.

"What if | tell you not to hold yourself back anymore and I'm ready?"

"Sam..."

"I'm ready, Luke,"

"Sam, | know what you mean but you know I'm not forcing you into this,"

"What are you saying?" | stared at him. "We know you're not forcingand I'm the one who tells you that I'm

ready."

"But Sam---"

"Shhh... just kiss me!"

Yeah... | didn't give him the chance to continue whatever he was about to say as | cupped both his cheeks and

kissed him on the lips. | also didn't wait for any seconds as he responded immediately. It's been a long tsince

we've done something like this and I've realized that we are now both grown adults, so why do we have to hold

ourselves back anymore?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

| held my breath as he askedagain when he was already on top of me.

"Luke..."

"Sam, | love and respect you and if ever you change your mind, please letknow right away. You know I can

wait for you."

"No, | already told you, I'm ready,"

"But you know that once it's in, you're mine and will officially be mine---"

"Luke Marcuz Williams, I'm already yours! I'm always yours and forever will be!"

"Samantha---"

"Oh, goddamn it! Can you just save your words later and do what you are supposed to do right now, Mr.

Williams? Because I'm telling you, you wouldn't want it if | changed my mind-—- ahh!"

My words died in mid-air as | screamed when | felt the sudden pain down my there.

"I'm sorry, | love you," and he kissedgently as he began to move up and down on top of me. "Oh, God! |

missed this! | missed you!" He groaned in the crook of my neck.

At that moment, tears started to form around my eyes. | didn't know that such a tlike this would ever come

and that | would feel his love again.

But those tears dried away immediately when | felt something building up inand soon | reached my peak

and that he followedlater.

And an hour later, we found ourselves in the shower... in his shower room, doing that thing again. | don't know,

but it was like we didn't feel tired all night. It's like it was both our first time... hmm... it was the first twe've

done it again, but this twith respect, tenderness, and love between us. This twe felt the sway. We

both wanted it not just because we felt lust but because we loved each other and that's where we are going to

start our life again.

But then... a smile formed my lips as | wrapped my arm around his naked body. | remembered we were confused

earlier as to where we would continue our 'you know' whether in my room or his, but the ending... we ended up

in his room, on his bed, and in the shower.
