Chapter 4

Seems as if everything stand stil. There's no loud music that  has been rumbling inside the bar recently, while his soft and damp lips still clinging on mine. Without a second thought, my lips began to move. Gentle. Slow. Passionate. Synchronizes every movement of his'. Not even minding where we at. I felt a sudden surge of my stomach. Oh feels like my intestines crawling like a worm inside my tummy. 

Could it be possible, when your mind get responsive on whats your heart desire? Magical thing does really exist, once you are in love? Am I in love? No...it can't be. I automatically pushed him when everything sink in.

"What's wrong?" Hinawakan niya ang aking pisngi. Bahagyang yumuko upang mas matitigan ako nang mabuti. 

"Umupo nalang tayo," sagot ko. Tinabig ko ang kanyang kamay at iniwan na s'ya roon. Ngunit ramdam ko ang pag-sunod niya. 

"Want to go somewhere?" tanong niya nang makaupo na kami. He reached for my hand and gently squeeze it. But immediately took my hand as I sense as bizzare feelings that caused by his touch. 

Hindi ba ito naman talaga ang plano ko? Makipaglandian sa kung sinong lalaki ang makakakuha ng atensyon ko. Bakit ngayong andito na ako, para akong tanga na nababahag ang buntot. 

"Hey, are you alright? Is there something bothering you?" muling untag niya nang hindi ako sumagot. Ano ba kasi itong pinasok ko?

Remember Carmell, this is your only chance. If you let it pass, there's no other way. Dad will make it hard for you to go out again. So kung gusto mong makapili ng lalaking paglalaanan mo ng sarili, ngayon palang ay kumilos ka na. 

"Let's go." Bakas ang gulat sa kanyang mata nang tumayo ako. 

"W-Where?" He asked curiously. 

"It"s up to you. In your place or in some hotel. I don't give a damn, just grant me my happy ending tonight. A ending that could surpass a happy ever after in every fairy tales." Amusement is now visibles all over his face.

"Well, a princess deserve it anyway." Napangiti na lamang ako nang hawakan niya ang aking kamay at hilahin palabas ng bar. 

Fate sometimes could be mischievous. It knows how to make you go round, like earth spinning on its own axis. And your choice will be your guide, whether you obtain your cloud castle or not. 

So if fate proffer this magical night to me, then who am I to decline? Kung maibibigay sa akin ng isang gabing ito ang kagustuhan ko, bakit hindi? Kung ito na ang huli, hindi masamang sulitin ko bawat sandali. 

"Your majesty," wika nito nang pagbuksan ako ng pintuan ng kanyang red porsche. 

Pagkatapos kong makasakay ay umikot naman ito papunta sa driver seat. Kumindat muna ito sa akin bago paharurutin ang kanyang sasakyan. Hindi halatang nagmamadali siya. 

Hininto niya ang sasakyan sa tapat ng isang gusali. I know this place. A place for elites. Who wouldn't know? 

Tahimik lang akong nakasunod sa kanya hanggang sa makarating kami sa 12th floor kung saan naroroon ang unit niya. He slid his key card on the door and open it widely. 

As soon as we get inside he pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. Gentle yet impulsive. But I like how his kiss awakened my innermost. He slipped his hand down to my shoulder. Binaba niya ang strap ng suot kong dress. I can feel his warmth and eagerness. Pinulupot ko ang aking kamay sa kanyang leeg. While his arms wrapped around my waist. 

Heck! My palms sweating. Anytime soon my knees will lose its strength. Every touch of him leaving a trace on my skin. As if he puts his remarks. Owning, claiming me. He laid me on the couch. Tracing the contour of my face. 

"You're exquisite, babe. It's a pleasure that I am now looking at your magnificent," he murmured, eyes still on me. Muli siyang yumukod upang angkinin ang aking labi.  "Are you sure of this? I'm giving you a chance to step back. Being greedy isn't my cup of tea. You're innocent and I don't want to ruin it," he again whispered. I could feel the agony in his voice. Trying to control himself. 

"I'm sure of this. I'll be glad if you are the one who will take it." Hindi ko na siya hinayaan pang magsalita, ako na mismo ang kumabig sa kanya upang halikan.

That night while the moon beams transcending through the thin curtain of his unit, I gave myself on him. Not even minding what will happen after that. I am just sure at one thing, I will never regret it. 

"Fuck!" Mabilis akong napabalikwas sa pagkakahiga nang maramdaman ang pagkirot ng aking ulo. Does someone splitting my head?

My eyes roamed around the room. Where am I? This isn't my room. A combination of black, dark brown, and white. Typical room of a man. What? Did I? Oh shit! 

Impit akong napahiyaw nang makaramdam ng matinding kirot, no'ng subukan kong tumayo. And then everything that  happened play inside my head. There I saw him still sleeping peacefully across the bed. 

Natatarantang umatras ako nang gumalaw ito. Huli na bago ko ma-realize na wala na pala akong aatrasan. In a snap I just found myself sitting at the floor. Silently groaning in pain. I stood up, trying not to make any noise that would wake him up. 

I picked up my clothes that scattered on the floor. Mabilis na sinuot ang mga iyon. Didn't even bother to take a bath, he might catch up with me when he woke up. I grabbed my pouch and phone over the side table. At dahan-dahang lumabas sa pintuan.  

I instantly dialled Viviane's number as soon as I get inside the elevator. Three rings and finally she answered my call. 

"Hey girl! Where are you?" bungad nito kaagad na may pag-aalala sa boses. 

"Could you pick me up here? Fuck! I'll text you the address." 

"What happened?" she asked. Bakas ang pag-aalala sa kanyang boses.

"I'll tell you later." I laid my back behind. 

What did I do? Dad probably kill me when he finds out. But this is his fault. If he only listened to me, I wouldn't came up at this point. So no, hindi ako nagsisisi na ginawa ko ito. Besides, I'm just doing myself a favor. 

"Tito went to my condo this morning. Around 6 am if I am not mistaken. He was looking for you." Kwento ni Viviane habang nagda-drive. Sinilip ko ang oras sa aking relo. It's already 8 in the morning.  I'm doomed.
