"Baby, want to watch some movie?" Rafus suggested. He's comfortably leaning his back on the sofa and his arms were outstretch on the top.Medyo naninibago pa ako sa pagtawag niya sa akin pero hindi ko maiwasang kiligin. Who am I to refuse to this kind of treatment from him?I used to wish this desperately! I desperately prayed to God hoping that Rafus will reciprocate my feelings for him. Now, it's already happening and it feels surreal! "Sure," I smile and sit beside him.We're watching The Hobbit. Rafus seems to focus on the movie and I'm also enjoying it. We're on the half way when I feel my eyelids starts to weigh, I lean my head on Rafus' shoulder and his arm immediately encircle around me. He glance to check me but all I can do is to smile sheepishly at him and my cheeks instantly flushes. An amusing smile crept his face and he kissed my head before pulling me against him more.Rafus reverts his attention on the movie while his han
His kisses went down, and I'm getting nervous because I already know what he'll do next. I closed the distance of my thighs, receiving a low chuckle from him."I'm embarrassed to you," I confessed."Why would you be, baby? You're beautiful and I love you, sincerely."I blushed. Bumangon ako para abutin ang labi ni Rafus at sandali kaming naghalikan. I let my head fall back to the bed as he entered his hand inside me. I felt a slight pain, but it's bearable. He moved his finger in and out, and he inserted another finger inside me."Fuck, why does it feels so good?" I deliriously asked myself while gripping on the bed sheet.Napasabunot ako kay Rafus nang makaramdam ng kakaibang sarap. Damn, he's indulging himself while tasting and licking me down there!"Ah! Ah! Rafus!" I shouted in ecstasy as I felt his tongue inside me. I think I'm going crazy! His fingers and mouth is doing me good down there! Hindi ko alam kung saan
After a few moments of being in deep thought, I started removing my shirt and carefully pulled down my cotton shorts. Marahan akong humakbang hanggang sa tuluyang na akong makarating sa tub at dahan dahang umupo roon.The water feels nice and slowly easing the soreness it between my thighs. Ilang minuto palang akong nagbabad nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto ng banyo. Pumasok si Rafus at mabilis na lumapit sa akin.He placed the soap he bought on the flat surface of the tub. Thanks to the bubble bath, he didn't see my nakedness. I lift my head to meet his eyes, I notice the beads of sweats forming on his forehead. I wanted to wipe those, but I might put bubbles on him."Take your time, I'll just go outside and call me when you want something, baby."I don't know why he's so submissive and using low voice while talking with me today!"I'm not regretting this and it's normal to feel sore because it's my first time doing that with you la
"Ma'am, pinag-aagawan nila si Sir oh!" Wika ng driver sabay turo kay Rafus na parehong hinakawan ng mga babae sa magkabilang braso."Gwapo daw ho kasi," sabi ko at natatawang umiling. Kinuha ko ang isang libo na nakaipit sa case ng cellphone ko at magalang na inabot iyon sa kanila. "Paghatian niyo nalang po Manong, salamat po sa serbisyo niyo!""Naku! Hindi na ho kailangan ma'am! Nakapagbigay na po si Sir sa amin!" Tanggi nilang pareho."Tanggapin niyo na po, kaunti lang naman po ito." Pagpupumilit ko pero ayaw talaga nilang kunin."Pasensiya na po talaga Ma'am, hindi na po namin kayang tumanggap ng pera sa inyo dahil sobra sobra na po ang naibayad ni Sir sa amin para sa serbisyong nagawa." Nasa mababang ani ng spotter.Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na paghinga nang tuluyan na silang nagpaalam sa akin. Wala akong magawa kundi ang ibalik ang pera sa kaninang pinagkuhaan.Nag-angat ako ng tingin at hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin niya
I'm going to visit my parents here in Iloilo. Honestly speaking, I had a hard time convincing Shey to come with me.It hurts. I already notice that she's drifting away from me. The Shey who's open and lively when she's with me has long gone. It's a fact that I should accept, though I kinda hope that we'll return to the way we were."Shey, sumunod ka lang sa akin." Marahan kong sabi sa kaniya habang bumababa kami ng bus.Nandito kami sa Molo Terminal, at kahit gustong gusto kaming ihatid ni Rafus ay hindi niya magawa dahil may inutos sa kaniya ang Papa niya. He's currently in Manila and it's been two days since we return from La Societe. He didn't specifically told me what business he'll do there and I didn't forced him to disclose it to me anyway.Nagkausap kami habang nasa biyahe ako kanina pero ilang minuto lang iyon dahil napapansin ko ang pagsulyap sa akin ni Shey. Kahit na nakaearphone ako ay hindi parin ako kampante.Rafus and I tal
My days continue like that. Talking to Rafus, helping my parents, and eat. I wanted to make up with Shey but she disliked it, sumasama siya sa kanila ni Nanay at Tatay sa Enterprise para lang maiwasan ako."Slaine, apo. Gusto mo bang sumama sa amin ng Lolo mo?" Tanong ni Lola Azucena nang madatnan nila ako sa sala."Saan po ang punta niyo, Lola?""Kikitain namin ng Lolo mo ang isang investor sa Pavia, at hindi naman namin gustong maiwan kang mag-isa rito." Umupo si Lola sa tabi ko at marahang hinawakan ang buhok."Sige po sasama ako sa inyo ni Lolo, saglit lang po at magbibihis lang ako ng damit, Lola." Magalang kong sambit at dali-daling umakyat patungong kwarto.It's already my fourth day here and up 'til now, my head's clouded with the thought of Helen. I'm dying to know what's wrong, so I could take part in making her feel better. Kung pwede ko lang siyang puntahan sa Manila ay nagawa ko na pero hindi iyon gano'n kadali. I don't have
Nang makarating sa bahay ay sinubukan kong gawin ang lahat ng makakaya para lang makumbinsi sina Nanay at Tatay na umuwi kasama namin. Kahit tunog desperada na ako at halos lumuhod sa kanila.Bigla kong naisip na hindi ko masikmura kung ano ang pagtrato nina Lola sa mga magulang ko rito. Ayokong isipin ang mga salitang maaring ibato ni Lola kay Tatay at kasalanang nagawa ni Nanay na hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin nalilimutan ni Lola."Hindi pupuwede, anak." Mahinang ani Nanay. "Mahina na ang Lola at Lolo mo, walang magbabantay sa kanila rito dahil ayaw nilang mag-hire ng kasambay. Matanda na sila at mahina ang tuhod kaya kahit sa ganitong paraan man lang ay naparamdam ko sa kanila na mahal ko parin sila at kahit gano'n ang nangyari noon ay malaki parin ang respeto at utang na loob namin ng Tatay mo sa kanila."Kahit anong gawin ko ay ayaw ni Nanay na iwan sina Lola rito. I even desperately proposed some ways to Nanay in reconciling with her parents, yet he
The dinner ended in awkward atmosphere. After I volunteer to wash the dishes, I instantly rush towards our room and pursue Shey to go home with me tomorrow yet she's too persistent to stay."Gusto ko pang makasama sina Nanay. Sa susunod na araw nalang siguro ako uuwi, Ate.""Sigurado ka ba talaga diyan, Shey? Pwede naman tayong magsabay bukas para may dalawang araw ka pa bago matapos ang semestral break mo."Umiling lang si Shey sa akin bago ibinalik ang atensiyon sa cellphone na hawak niya. Bumuntonghininga ako at nagsimula nang mag-impake ng gamit para sa pag-alis bukas.Itinabi ko sa isang sulok ang mga gamit na ibinigay nina Lola at Lolo. Aanuhin ko naman ang Fendi bag na ito? Hindi naman ako mahilig mag-show off sa mga tao kaya hinding-hindi ko ito magagamit.I spend my night packing my things while talking to Rafus over the phone. I agreed to his suggestion that he'll fetch me up tomorrow at ten, so when morning came, I've searched
"Baby..." I heard Rafus spoke and I felt his presence in the bathroom.I stayed silent and acted oblivious. I don't want to talk with him at the moment because I know it'll end with screaming and fighting."Let's talk, I'll explain everything to you." His voice is cooing, and I just found him behind my back. His clothes are already soaking wet but he didn't left not until I faced him."Later... let's do that later." I said almost a whisper."No," he shook his head. The wet shirt is tracing his built. "We have to settle this now. I don't think I can last another second knowing something's off between us."My lips remain in thin line. I'm staring at him because I'm waiting for the words that will come out his mouth."That night when you finally gave me and our relationship another chance, kagagaling ko lang no'n mula sa dinner kasama ang pamilya ko at pamilya ni Aurora." He sighed and held my waist. His eyes were pleading and fille
"Be with me," Rafus whisper to my ears.The sunlight's already spreading everywhere, yet we're still here lying on my bed, both naked beneath my comforter.I hummed then buried my face more on his chest. "Where to?"He tightens the hug before kissing the top of my head. "Palawan. I brought a vacation house from Sienna, and I wanted to visit it with you."Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya. I don't think I can get used to his handsomeness that will welcome me when I wake up in the morning. "Kailan ba ang plano mong bumisita roon?""Two days from now. Is that alright with you? We'll just fix what we needed to be fixed in the corporation, then I'll ask Rojas or Amadeus to look after the business for a while."I gasped audibly and blinked twice. "You're still friends with Amadeus?""Baby, what are you talking about? Of course, I'm still friends with Amadeus." Natawa si Rafus at inangat ang pang-itaas na katawan para kubabawan
I groaned when my clock alarmed loudly. I covered my face with the blanket, hoping that my sleepiness would visit me again, but failed.Marahan kong iminulat ang mata ko at ngayon ko lang natanto na walang sinag na tumatama sa mga mata ko dahil natatakpan ng kurtina ang sliding glass door na nakakonekta sa balkonahe.Natutop ko ang labi nang maalalang sa sofa ako kagabi, papaanong nandito na ako ngayon sa kwarto? I scanned myself, and I also found out that I'm wearing comfortable cotton oversize shirt, not my office clothes.I shook my head. Damn he's doing this again! Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. It's beating wildly as if something triggers my system to feel those feelings again.I climbed off my bed then help my way towards the bathroom and fixed myself ready for work. Hindi na ako nag-abalang magluto ng agahan dahil dadaan nalang ako sa café mamaya."Good morning."My heart leaped. Kalalabas ko lang ng apartment ay siya agad an
I fixed the belt on my trouser and left the two buttons of my long sleeve top open. I wore tube beneath, so I won't get to receive any lewd stares from anyone.Napakurap-kurap ako nang lumuhod si Rafus at siya mismo ang nagpasuot ng ankle strap sandals sa akin. I felt the gentleness as he held my feet and carefully assuring that the strap was perfectly locked."Rafus, don't treat me like this please..." I said almost begging.I don't want him to treat me like I'm valuable. Damn, I don't want to get hurt by the same person again! Nawasak ako dati at ayokong mawasak ulit. His gestures and the way he treat me brings the feelings I used to feel for him."Let's clearly draw the line. I don't have any hang ups with you, and yes, we had sex. I think that's normal for us, don't try putting another meaning of what happened last night when it's clearly lust and sexual desire."His expression became stoic and later, he laughed at himself. "Damn, bab
We're both silent the whole ride. I refuse to utter a word because I'm trying hard to control myself after remembering all the memories we had here, and Rafus' perfume never change over the years.Damn, even if I don't admit it, I know to myself that I still have hangs up for him.I don't know where Rafus is taking me. Nagdrive thru lang kami ng pagkain tapos tumulak uli kami. I looked at my wristwatch, it's nearing five thirty already."Seriously speaking, where are you taking me Rafus?""You'll see, we're almost there, just hang on for few minutes."I sighed and shut my mouth. He won't tell me, period. Why did I kept on trying since earlier then? Rafus' unbending, what's new about it?After an hour of driving, finally the car stopped. I didn't wait for Rafus' cue and help myself got out of the car."What are we doing here?" I seriously asked him with my arms crossed over my chest.Kalalabas niya lang ng kotse
"Come in," he announces and after a moment, a guy enter his office."Mr. Cattaneo, I'm here to inform you that the partition and curve table is already here. We'll just going to install it here in your office."Rafus nodded, "Okay, and do finish it as fast as you can."Naalerto ako nang hawakan ni Rafus ang kamay ko at pinagsiklop iyon. Nakita ko rin ang pagsulyap ng employee sa kamay naming dalawa kaya ginapang ako ng kaba at nagpupumilit na kumalas."Do inform me if you're done," Rafus formally said to the guy and swiftly picked my handbag on the floor.Lumabas kami ng opsina at doon ako nagkaroon ng lakas loob para lagyan ng puwersa ang pagwaksi ko sa kamay kong hawak niya."It's working hours," I said, not taking my eyes off him. "I believe you do know how to separate personal relationship with work, Mr. Cattaneo."He flashes that smirk, making me feel annoyed. "Well that principle works depending where my woman
I blink couple of times before slowly opening my eyes to adjust to the light that passes through the slightly open curtain.I groaned as I felt pain in my head like it's been hammered multiple times. I travelled my eyes to the whole room and fear starting creeping in my system.This is not my room!I touched my body and that's when I finally felt at ease. Thank God I'm still fully-clothed.I spend few moments of ransacking my head to find answer why I'm here in someone's room, but I only remember that I'm with Ma'am Claireen in the club last night!Before I could finally recognize the familiar scent that fills in the whole room, the door push open and a man step in, making my jaw drop in shock and confusion."Oh, you're awake now..." He calmly said and I got distracted by the sweats dripping from his forehead.I cleared my throat, "Where am I? And why I am here with you?"Mariin siyang napatingin sa akin at doon
"What are you doing here?" My brows furrow and my blood starts to boil. He didn't answer, he just remain there, standing while looking calm and collected.I took a deep breath and almost rolled my eyes on him. Kinuha ko ang grocery bags na nakalapag at binuksan ang pinto ng apartment ko saka bastang pumasok pero bago ko pa iyon maisara, pinigilan iyon ng malakas na kamay."Ano ba'ng problema mo?" Pinigilan ko ang sarili na huwag siyang pagtaasan ng boses.Titig na titig siya mga mata ko at hindi ko magawang umiwas. I can see exhaustion, pain, and longing in his eyes. In a snap, he invited himself in. He took the grocery bags from my hold and shamelessly walked towards my kitchen."Seriously, Rafus? What are you trying to do? Why are you doing this?" I followed him to my kitchen and took the grocery bag to place it on my countertop.I was taken a back when he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his head between my neck and shoulder
I paid the driver a yellow bill and didn't wait for my change. Lumabas ako ng sasakyan dala-dala ang dalawang duffel bag. Hindi naman siguro ako mukhang haggard mula sa flight dahil malaki ang tiwala ko sa simpleng make-up na inilagay ko sa mukha.I'm wearing a matching plaid trouser and blazer, a black tube top, then white shoes. This is often my office attire, and I never got any complain from my fellow workmates or from Mr. Sorrento.Hindi ako pinigilan ng security guard nang basta-basta akong pumasok. Sa dalawang taon ko ba namang pagtatrabaho dito sa incorporated ay hindi nila ako nakilala."Ms. Aranza!" Gulat na bungad ng receptionist. "Naparito po kayo?"Tipid akong ngumiti, "May problema lang sa resignation ko. Uhm—pwede bang maiwan ko muna dito sa ground floor ang mga duffel bag ko?""Uh sige po," nakangiti niyang tugon at sumenyas sa security guard kaya madaling naipasok sa loob ang workplace ng receptionist ang bags ko.
