CITRINE:
"CITRINE? " Alex opened his door at his own unit when he heard her ringing continously his doorbell. Citrine didn't wait for Alex to ask her again when she uninvitedly push him inside the unit followed by her. She held his both cheeks and gave him a long kiss in his lips. Alex didn't avoid her instead he willingly responded to her kisses. Her hands scanned through his hard chest up to his collarbones. Alex didn't hesitate what she was offering and grabbed her buttocks to press hers against his. Alex began giving her small kisses down from her jaw to her neck. "Uhhh, Why are you so aggressive tonight Cit?" Narinig niyang sabi nito ngunit hindi niya pinansin at bagkus ay sinimulan niya ipagapang pababa ng laylay ng white shirt nito upang itaas iyon. Alex got the idea what she was giving tonight kung kaya't agad nitong hinawakan ang sariling laylayan ng damit upang tulungan siyang mahubad iyon. She pushed Alex as they walked near the man's couch. Napaupo ito sa couch habang napakagat labing nakatitig sa kanya. She could a naughty smirk on Alex's face when she started unzipping her black casual dress. "Geez, I like that," Komento nang makita ang kanyang ginawang pagbaba ng suot na dress hanggang beywang niya, Her Black brassiere was now exposed. " You are really beautiful Citrine." Agad niyang ipinatong sa kandungan ang sariling pang-upo upang halikan muli ito. Alex held her waist to balance her weight. Alam niyang sa isang paghalik at haplos lang niya ay maaakit niya ito. Sa ganda at kaseksihan niya ay walang sinuman ang makakatanggi sa kanya kapag ginusto niya. She was truly a beauty, a gem, and one of a kind.Marami ang nagkandarapa upang mapa-ibig siya, Ang kanyang filipina beauty ay lumilitaw sa kanyang mga features. Maputi nga lamang siya na nakuha niya sa lahi ng kanyang ina na mestiza at ang balingkinitan niyang pangangatawan ay nakuha naman iya sa lahi ng kanya ng ama.
Ang mahaba at makintab na kulay itim niyang buhok ay nagk-kompliment sa ganda ng kanyang katawan at mukha. Alex was not her boyfriend, nor her friend but her f*ck buddy. No one knew about their unique situation. No strings attached but he considered him the best partner in bed and she had to admit that Alex was great when it comes to s*x. Alex has a manly features, hard biceps and 3 packs of abs. He was also a good looking guy. Ang pagiging mukhang latino nito ay nakuha sa malakas na dugo ng ama nito na si Tito Alber Maniego. Yes, Alex was a Maniego. Alex caught her attention after her welcome party when she got back from studying in New York. Si Alex lang ang nakakuha ng kanyang ugali kung kaya't ito sila ngayon. Mahilig maglaro ng apoy kung kailan nila gugustuhin. Naramdaman niya ang paghaplos nito sa kanyang binti kung kaya't mas lalo niyang ibinuka ang kanyang mga hita upang bigyan ng espasyo ang sarili nito na yakapin siya. Naramdaman niya ang pagtaas muli ng kamay nito upang kapain ang buckle ng kanyang brassiere. Napatigil siya sa kanyang paghalik ng mapagtanto ang kanyang ginagawa. "Stop," Agad niyang pigil niya dito na agad na paghinto ng binata. Napatingin siya dito ng magtaka ito kung bakit pinatigil niya ito sa pagpagtanggal ng natitira niyang saplot sa katawan. "Are you okay?" Agad na tanong nito. Agad naman siyang umalis sa pagkaka-ibibaw nito at umupo sa tabi nito sa couch. Inayos niyang muli ang nakababang damit at isunuot muli ito. "I'm sorry, my mood changed." Walang reaksyong sabi niya habang hinawi ang nagulong buhok at napapikit dahil nasira ang kanyang mood ng maisip na hindi niya dapat gawin ito dahil kalilibing lang ng kanyang ama. "Hey, it's okay," Sagot naman nito. " I know you've been through a lot this week." Sabi nito na hindi naman na-disappoint dahil walang mangyayari sa kanilang gabi. "I shouldn't be here. I have to go." Nagmamadali siyang tumayo na parang walang nangyari ngunit bago pa man siya makahakbang ay hinawakan siya ni sa kanyang pulso. "Citrine, I know you are in pain, you just lost your dad." Narinig niyang mahinahong sabi nito. "I didn't come near you during his funeral because I know you were busy but you know you can always rely on me whenever you feel vulnerable." Hindi siya nagsalita ng marinig ito sa binata ngunit hindi rin naman niya maiwas ang pulsong hinawakan nito dahil sa totoong lang ay tama ito. She was in her vulnerable state. Her father died unexpectedly due to an illness that he kept from her. No one knew that he was in pain and it was too late for her to do something for her father. She wasn't that close to her dad but he was still part of her. He was her father's only, not that she knew of. Malungkot pa rin na nawala ito ng wala man lang siya nagawa dahil hindi niya alam na may sakit ito. Alex stood up and came closer to her side. She felt his warm hug kung kaya't hindi na niya napigilan ang pagbagsak ng kanyang luha at nagtuloy-tuloy na rin ang kanina pa niya pinipigilang pag-iyak. She wasn't in love with Alex but she knew that Alex would help her ease the pain that any minute would burst inside her heart. "I am alone now, I am not prepared of what future aheads of me. He prepared me in everything but not on this kind of scenario. I am not ready to takeover his company." Bulalas niya habang umiiyak sa tabi nito. Sa unang pagkakataon ay ipinakita niya ang soft side niya sa isang tao. "My dad will be there to guide you Citrine, I am also there to be on your side" Pag-alo pa nito habang pinapat ang kanyang likod. " You can always rely on us when it comes to running your business. Just don't hesitate." Payo pa nito. Alex was under his dad's supervision. Isa rin ito sa may maliit na share sa kanilang kumpanya.RIVER: "40 SQUIDS," Iinilahad ni River ang natitirang casino chips niya sa bulsa sa loob ng kanyang leather jacket. Habang kinuha ang kalahating nakasinding sigarilyo at hitnithit iyon. Kinindatan pa niya ang nakatapat na kalaro sa kabilang sulok na lamesa iyon. Maingay dala ng malakas na musika ang tanging maririnig mo sa malawak at madilim na espasyo na iyon. Ang mga usok nang mga sigarilyo ay nagmumukhang fog dahil sa pgkakapal-kapal na iyon. Poker ang kanilang nilalaro na halos lahat ng nasa lamesa na iyon ay wala kang mababasang ekspresyon sa mukha kung hindi ang ninanais na matalo siya. Si Thorne Jaime Rivera alyas River ay isa sa pinakakilalang magaling sa larong cards lalo na sa larong POKER. Walang sinuman ang nakakatalo sa kanya kpagdating sa laro ito. Ibinuga niya ang usok ng sigarilyo habang sumandal sa upuan kasabay ng isang nakakalokong pag-ngisi upang asarin ang mga ito. River tapped his five fingers on the table to mimick the sound of a ticking clock. "You k
RIVER: "Whooooo! Mayaman na tayo!" Isang hiyaw sa labas ng bintana sa kanyang dalawang taong Nissan Frontier 2022 na kulay gray ang namumutawi habang tinatahak nilang ang expressway pabalik sa kanilang lugar. Si pau na nay pagkamapilyo ang sumisigaw dahil sa balita niyang nakakuha sila ng halos kalahating milyon. Agad niyang ibinigay sa kasamahang si Jake ang chips na nakoleta upang ipalit sa harap ng desk ng casino na iyon Nang makalabas sila pareho ni Pau sa lugar na iyon. "Bibili ako ng bagong Iphone!-ARAY!" Hiyaw ulit nito sa sobrang saya ay nakalimutan kung saan nanggaling ang pera iyon. Binigla niya ang pag-apak sa break ng sasakyan niya upang mauntog ang ulo nito sa bintana ng kanyang sasakyan. "Kuya naman mapuputol ulo ko eh," Reklamo pa ng mas batang kasamahan niya ng ipasok nito ang katawan sa loob ng sasakyan at itinaas ang bintana. Hindi siya kumibo at bahgya lang niya tinapunan ito ng tingin gamit ang rear view mirror. "Di ka pa nahulog! Hmmmm! Hmm!" Hampasnaman ni Ja
RIVER:"Amoy p-pawis ako Jessa, teka lang, teka lang pwede?" Pagpapakalma niya dito habang iginiya ito sa isang tabi bago niya muling binuksan ang gate. "Anong amoy pawis? saang parte? Hmmm amoy baby ka nga oh," Sumunod ito sa likuran niya habang hinawakan muli ang kanyang bewang ng buksan niya ang kalawang na itim na gate ng kanyang bahay na tinutuluyan. "Jessa Umuwi ka na, bukas na lang tayo mag-usap," Magalang na pagtaboy niya dito ng sumunod ito sa kanya hanggang sa loob ng pintuan ng bahay niya. Hindi pa rin niya ito nililingon at kinuha mula sa likod na bulsa ng kanyang pantalon ang susi ng kanyang bahay. "River," Sabi nito ng bigla siya nitong pihitin papaharap sa sexy na dalaga. Nang makapasok pa lang sila sa bukana ng kaniyang pinto. Itinulak siya nito sa nag-iisang couch na nasa kanyang sala. Wala siyang masyadong gamit, kung tutuusin ay parang lumang bahay lang ito at mukhang walang nakatira dahil wala naman siyang planong ayusin talaga ay tinutuluyan. Malinis ang palig
CITRINE:“Good morning, Miss Fuerte.” Citrine walked past her secretary Elizabeth when she greeted her at the gigantic glass main door entrance of BFJ Inc.She was like a goddess- no, a Satan who rose from hell. Her heels were making noise enough for people to turn all their heads on her.She was wearing an all-white Egyptian handpicked linen with a white blazer that looked like a cape. She was also wearing her favorite shades with dark-tinted glass.It was too early in the morning and nobody expected her to show up. Kakalibing lang ng kanyang ama kahapon at ang akala ng lahat ay wala pa siya sa huwisyo upang makapasok sa kumpanya.All the shareholders were notified by the sudden board meeting for the position of the next CEO’s position. They thought that the meeting would be held next week.“Good morning, Ma’am.” Bati sa kanya ng nakaunipormeng gwardya na nakapwesto sa entrance machine papasok sa hliera ng mga elevator.Citrine didn’t need to scan her ids to be able to enter her build
CITRINE: “SHALL we start the board meeting?” Citrine proudly asked while leaning toward the table to turn on the microphone in front.She heard another clicking sound from the microphone in her left direction. She removed her shades and carefully glared at them who also glared her back.“I would like to start the meeting by simply asking- ““Hold your thoughts Mister- “She stopped the old man from her left from asking her. “I’d like you to listen, No! all of you. “On her peripheral vision, Albert Maniego sat beside her chair with a disappointed look on his face but she didn’t care at all.“I, Primrose Citrine Fuerte will be the next CEO of BFJ Inc. I won’t allow a voting session for the position. I’m handing you a copy of the last will testament that my father made when he was alive. it clearly stated there that my father wants me to take over the company and no one else.” She spoke intensely.She clearly remembered what her dad told her on his deathbed. (“Don’t let anyone take the c
CITRINE:“Ma’am here’s your iced americano,” Inilapag ng isa pang assistant sa opisina na si Anthony ang kanina pa niyang sanang hinihintany na kape. Citrine sat on her new proclaimed seat as she crossed her both legs while giving a resting bitch face on her newly employed assistant.“I like that iced coffee on my table 5 minutes ago Anthony.” Citrine spoke as she arched her eyebrows. Huli na para palamigin ng iced coffee na iyan ang kanyang mainit na ulo sa ginanap na board meeting.Napangiwi naman ang baguhang empleyado habang dahan-dahan sanang kinukuha muli ang inilapag ng iced coffee.“Leave it, I’m just reminding you the exact time, I would want my coffee. Next time, just be mindful. “ Sambit niya habang nags-scroll sa kanyang tablet. She should have promoted an employee from that department but chose to hire a new one dahil ayaw niya ng luma. Newcomers could easily be trusted as they slowly build their position in this company.Like Elizabeth, hindi ito nagdaan sa kahit sino man
CITRINE:Citrine calmed herself and tried to think ahead before taking action. She lifted her right hand to stop Alex from moving in his position and silently gave him a grin.“Don’t talk Alex.” She said with an uneasy tone while glaring at him. She switched her glare at the woman who almost screamed at the top of her lungs because of the pleasure that Alex was giving her.“Mrs. Green,” she called her attention while the poor mature woman was almost naked and tried to cover her shame. “Does your husband know you’re playing fire inside my company?” Halos gusto niyang masuka sa naabutang eksena ngunit pinatili niya ang pagtigas ng kanyang mga panga habang humalipkip sa isang tabi.“Citrine don’t –” Alex was still hoping to explain, but she didn’t care.“Oh please, Alex. Kung gagawa ka lang din ng kababalaghan, at least not here, you dumb,” Pag-iling pa niya sa harap nito habang nangingiti sa katatawanang inabutan.She could see Alex’s face turned red as an embarrassment. “It seems that
“KULANG ito Jake, pinagloloko mo ba ako?” Isang matigas na boses ang pinanindigan ng balahibo ni Jake ng ibagsak nito ang puting sobre na kanyang inabot sa lamesa nito. “Gusto mo na yata hindi makalabas ng buhay dito eh? Ano?” Sabi pa ng nakakatakot na boses na iyon.Nasa isang lumang mababang gusali siya na tila abondonado na ng ilang taon ngunit okupado pa rin ng mga naglalakihan at nagtatabaang mga kalalakihan. Ang halos limang katao nito ay nakapalibot sa kanya na may kanya-kanyang dalang armas habang ang pinakalidier nito ay nasa kanyang harapan ang nakaupos sa sira-sira upuang pang-opisina. Binibilang nito ang pera sa sobra. Ang pangalan nito at si Etnag.“Etnag wag naman, nagpakita naman ako ng maayos sa inyo. Nasa hospital pa ang asawa ko kaya nga ito lang muna ang kaya kong ibayad.” Pagmamakaawa niya habang nangingiti upang pagaanin ang sitwasyon kahit pa halos tumalon na ang kanyang puso sa kaba.Si Etnag at ang tinatawag nitong gang ay isa sa mga matitinik na gang sa kanil
