Chapter 8

 Sebastian’s

They say a real man chooses to honor, love, and be faithful to one woman. I say feelings are just fleeting emotions subject to changes in circumstances you less expected.

I smirked as I stared at the red liquid floating in my glass, it reminds me of someone who loves red lipstick so much. Red, the color of love, passion, and strong emotion. It can also signify anger and rage. Humans tend to see a different perspective in every aspect of our lives. What we see as positive might be something negative for others.

Mabilis na inubos ko ang alak na natira sa baso. This thing is stressing me out lately, I’m not much of a drinker but because of this, I think I needed the aid of alcohol to calm my nerves every fucking time. Nagsalin ulit ako ng alak sa baso.

Tiningnan ko ang monitor ng laptop ko. Her strawberry blonde hair suited her creamy-white skin. I can’t help but notice how sad she smiles whenever she tried to be friendly to anyone around her. I know that smile is not genuine, and I would want to see her smile genuinely.

I heaved a deep sigh as I leaned back to my swivel chair. The city’s night lights illuminated the whole place. It’s funny but you can only see the city’s beauty at night when everything is black and you got to appreciate how the lights sparkled despite the darkness.

“Sir, aalis na po ako,” my secretary said.

It’s already nine in the evening at ngayon lang siya uuwi? Napailing ako at napangisi. Women and their dramas. She’s been my secretary ever since I arrived, and I can see the signals she’s been sending me since day one. But, screwing my employees is not on my fantasy list, not unless that particular woman would be my secretary then maybe I’ll reconsider.

Napailing ako sa naisip. What the f*ck is wrong with me? I know lusting over her is a big mistake, but who can blame? That woman is so fucking adorable. The way her innocent eyes widen whenever I teased her and how her cheeks blushed made my body burned in need.

My train of thoughts got interrupted when my phone rings violently. Hindi ko ito pinansin at hinayaan lang na tumunog hanggang sa matapos. Alam ko na kung sino ‘yong makulit na tumatawag simula kanina.

Tumunog ulit ‘yon at inis na kinuha ang cellphone ko sa ibabaw ng lamesa.

“What?” I answered coldly.

“C’mon, man. You’ll miss the fun here, the place is packed with bitches, man!”

“Told you, I’m not in the mode to screw tonight,” sagot ko sa kabilang linya. I can hear the loud banging of music from the other line. It was the opening of one of Andrei’s bars. May pakulo na naman ang gago kaya nagpupumilit na pumunta ako. I’m sure there’s an orgy going on later tonight.

“Oh, c’mon. Don’t be a pussy. Selene’s been looking for you. You know her, right?”

“Yeah, just enjoy the fuck, fucker,” natatawa kong sabi. Pinutol ko na kaagad ang linya nang hindi na hinintay ang sagot niya. I tossed the phone on my table and drank the remaining alcohol in the glass.

Tumayo ako at kinuha ang botelya ng Vodka at uminum mula doon. Naramdaman ko ang pait at init na humagod sa lalamunan ko. Bumalik ako sa bintana at tinanaw ang madilim na kapaligiran, tanging mga ilaw ng sasakyan at street lights na nagsisilbing liwanag doon.

I’ll be left alone in the house with Claire for a week again. It’ll be a week full of temptations and hard-ons.

Niu texted me yesterday that he’s going to Palawan, hindi ko na din inalam kung ano ang pakay niya doon. He’s just giving a heads up that I’ll be the one to take of his wife in his absence.

Gago ka, Altamirano. Gustong-gusto mo namang animal ka! Aminin mo kasing gusto mo ring masulo ang asawa ng kapatid mo!

Bumuntong hininga ako at in-scroll ang stock photos ni Claire sa laptop ko. Shit! I’m like a creepy sick bastard scrolling over her almost nude photos, and to make it worse I don’t feel any guilt considering she’s Niu’s wife because I know something’s going on with Niu.

 Napailing ako dahil sa problemang pinasok ng kapatid ko, at pati ako ay dinamay pa ng gago. Now that I’m stuck here to babysit his wife, I’m in bigger trouble as well. Damn that man!

Simula noong dumating ako dito sa bansa ay wala na akong ibang inisip kun’di gaano kaganda ang isang Claire dela Fuerte. I’ve seen her compete for a national competition, and damn me for getting a massive hard-on every time I saw her in those skimpy bikinis, lalo na kapag nakikita ko ang leeg at balikat niya. I find her neck and shoulder so f*cking delicious.

I felt my manhood twitch as lust poured into every nerve of my body. I bet my friends would tease me big time if they knew I’ve been watching all of her videos and I have a dummy account to stalked her I*******m posts.

Gago ka, Sebastian.

Asawa ‘yan ng kapatid mo!

But you know the real score between them, Niu’s not into his wife and you know it.

Two sides of my conscience keep on arguing, and the other head down there also have his own opinion, too. Napailing ako nang sumikip na ng tuluyan ang pantalon ko. I palmed my erection and rubbed it from the outside. Mas lalo lamang itong sumikip, I imagine it was Claire’s beautiful hand that rubs it. She’s palming my balls and her other hand keeps moving up and down my manhood.

Napaungol ako dahil sa sarap ng iniisip.

Damn! I need a distraction.

I looked at the clock mounted on the wall and decided that the night is still early. Mabilis na kinuha ko ang coat na nakasabit sa swivel chair ko at ang susi ng kotse ko. I need to get laid tonight. I need to release this impending heat or else I might lose control in front of her. I can’t afford that to happen, not just yet.
