Chapter 9: Mr. PresidentWhen I arrive on campus, I quickly exit Anton's porshe car after thanking him. Kumaway pa ako sa kanya pagkatapos kong bumaba. "I'll be moving on from you," nakangiti kong sabi na ikinatawa niya."Yes, you will," he said then nag-drive na siya papunta sa hotel resort na pinangangasiwaan niya.Pag-ikot ko ay nagtama ang paningin namin ni Professor McConaughey. Nasa lilim na siya ng puno ng kaimito at malapit na siya sa building namin. He smirked and walked towards the building.7:56 na! May four minutes na lang ako para makarating sa room namin kaya hinawakan ko ng mahigpit ang shoulder bag ko at tumakbo ng mabilis. Dadaigin ko na si Road Runner sa bilis o kaya si Usain Bolt. Hindi ako dumaan sa main entrance kundi sa fire exit. Dali-dali ko ring tinakbo ang hagdanan roon kaya 7:59 na ako nakarating sa room namin."Oh! Bakit doon ka dumaan?" tanong sa akin ni Mr. President nang tumabi ako sa kanya.Sumenyas ako ng "wait lang" habang hinihingal ako. Binigyan niy
Chapter 10: Try Me, Miss Torres Angelo held my hand when the jeepney started to go. Napansin ko ang paghubad niya sa suot niyang blazer at ipinatong niya iyon sa hita ko dahil nakalilis ang suot kong skirt sa pag-upo ko. "How much is the fare for Santander?" bulong ko sa kanya. "Ha?" sabi niya. Inilapit niya ang tenga niya sa akin. "Magkano ang fare?" Umiling siya. "Ako na ang bahala. Mura lang iyon." He held my hand the entire time we were on the road."Thank you for keeping me calm!" Medyo nilakasan ko ang boses ko dahil ang bilis ng pagpapatakbo ng driver sa jeep. Habang umaandar iyon ay parang nagrarambulan ang puso ko sa kaba. "Normal lang ang nararamdaman mo ngayon. Kapag maraming beses ka ng experience sa pag-cocommute, masasanay ka na!" sigaw din niya. Nagprinsinta pa siyang bababa para i-check daw niya kung maayos akong makakapasok ngunit tumanggi na ako. Masyado na akong nakaabala. "Mag-iwan ka lang ng mensahe sa akin bago matulog para masundo kita kapag abala ang mom
Chapter 11: Symposium I awoke earlier than usual because I set six alarms just to get up. It's still five thirty in the morning, so I washed my face and brushed my teeth before tying my shoulder-length hair in a messy bun. For starters, I prepare breakfast for Mom. Mom usually wants a hearty breakfast because she doesn't have time to eat much later in the day.Nagulat si Mommy pagbaba niya dahil handa na ang fried rice, chorizo de cebu at egg omelette with spring onions and baked chicken breast. Good for two servings. She smiled as she dragged the chair for her to sit in. "Anong nakain mo? May kailangan ka 'no?" pigil ang ngiti niya na nanunudyo.I laughed a bit. "Wala po. Maaga din naman akong gumigising kapag trip ko at isa ang araw na iyon kaya kumain ka na lang diyan, Mom," sabi ko habang inilalagay na sa dishwasher machine ang mga binanlawan kong mga kitchen utensils na ginamit ko."Really?" Hindi kumbinsido niyang tanong.Tumango ako. "Wala po akong kailangan. I simply wish to
Chapter 12: His Stare"I had a rift with Jigs after we had sex at his place."Naubo ako sa narinig ko mula kay Penelope. Sinusubo ko pa naman ang kabibili kong chocolate ice bar. Ngumiwi ako at kinuha mula sa bag ko ang aking panyo. I wipe my mouth and set the ice cream aside. Nawalan na ako ng gana, ang sarap pa naman ng tinda nilang ice cream dito sa cafeteria. "Akala ko ba wala na kayo?" tanong ni Cattleya habang ngumunguya siya ng ulam niyang beefsteak. "Wala na nga," sagot ng isa. "So bakit may ganoong kaganapan?" "Bakit kailangan bang in a relationship kapag magsesex ang dalawang tao?" tanong pabalik ni Penelope. "Hay nako! Easy to get ka talaga! Pinayuhan ka na namin, sige ka pa rin sa balik sa kanya." Umikot ang mata ni Marie Jane at inilayo sa kanya ang platong nasa harap niya. "We needed to release the—alam niyo na 'yon. Di na kayo mga bata," sabi ni Penelope. "Huwag kang iiyak-iyak ulit kapag binalikan mo na naman 'yan," itinuro pa siya ni Cattleya. Natatawa na lang
Chapter 13: Last Warning It's Saturday, and I noticed a large truck with the print name "Santander Pet Services" in front of Professor McConaughey's house.Limang tao ang nakita kong palabas-masok sa bahay nila at marami silang buhat na materyales sa loob ng bahay. Gusto ko sanang makiusyoso ngunit pinigilan ko ang sarili ko.I still had to do all of our weekly laundry. Isinuot ko ang paborito kong pambahay na butas-butas na lumang spongebob t-shirt at dolphin shorts. Then I'm good to do all the household chores. Sinong nagsabing hindi marunong maglinis ng bahay ang mga mayayaman? Daddy taught me how to do all of this.I put on my airpods and start listening to music. Isinalang ko muna ang mga labahan sa washing machine then I vacuumed upstairs and downstairs. Nag-mop rin ako. At hindi ko na nagawang maglinis ng banyo dahil napagod na ako. Bukas na ko na lang iyon lilinisan, tutal ay malinis naman iyon lagi.After bathing and dressing, I exited and went to my Professor's house. Only t
Chapter 14: Avoiding HimMonday. I arrived on campus feeling more awkward than usual. I had numerous plans in the back of my mind for how to avoid him. But my mind wandered to the way he held me so close last Saturday. I knew there was something in his stare that I couldn't put my finger on. Umiling ako at inalis ang mga ideya na hindi makakatulong sa pag-iwas ko sa kanya. When I entered the classroom, everyone was already present. And I silently thank God that he isn't here yet."Morning," I greeted my friends, but they didn't respond because they were preoccupied with other matters.Si Mr. President ang bumati sa akin pag-upo ko sa tabi niya. "Mukha kang nalugi sa palengke," he commented."Am I?" I asked. Kinuha ko agad ang compact mirror sa bag ko then I stared at my face. I appeared haggard, and my eye bags sagged. Napuyat ako ng dalawang gabi sa kaiisip sa lalakeng istorbo ang tingin sa akin. "May nangyari ba?" bulong niya.Umiling ako. Sinumulan kong kunin sa loob ng bag ang w
Chapter 15: Butterflies In My Stomach"Would you please assist me, Miss Torres?" Professor Carol, my favorite, called me after our last class. I assisted her in carrying all of our workbooks with my girls, but they abandoned me as soon as we arrived at the office."Kaya mo na 'yan," ngisi ni Marie Jane. May date raw siya kasama ang bago niyang manliligaw. Maging sina Penelope at Cattleya ay may kanya-kanya ring mga lakad."Babalikan kita, I only need to go to my daughter's dorm. Nagkaproblema kasi," sabi niya habang alalang-alala ang kaniyang mukha. "Sige po. Kaya ko na po ito," nakangiting sabi ko. I've already checked three out of thirty workbooks."I'll drop you off at your house later," pampalubag-loob niyang sabi. "Could you also look through the other class workbooks?" "Will work on that, Ma'am," I said as she walked away. I put on my airpods and listened to my favorite song, Until I Found You. I'm not sure why, but this song has a special place in my heart.Natapos ko na ang
Chapter 16: I lose, Skye I felt awkward with his presence by the time we got off the jeepney, so I walked past him and didn't thank him for accompanying me. My heart is fluttering, which is dangerous. I couldn't possibly be falling for him, could I? Seducing him was just a game I started. And here I am, parang ako ang matatalo sa larong ito. "Skye!" He yelled.Hindi ko siya nilingon, basta diretso ang lakad ko papasok ng malawak na bakuran namin. I was about to open the door when he grabbed my hand. Ni hindi ko narinig ang yabag niya papalapit sa akin. "Could we please talk?" His eyes are pleading. "I'm already avoiding you because you told me to, ano pa ba ang gusto mong gawin ko?" I said with a slight ache in my heart. Why is this happening to me? Bakit ako nasasaktan? "I-" He appeared adamant and frustrated, punching his forehead slightly."I'm going in. You can tell me-"He grabbed my waist and pushed me against the closed door. Mabigat ang paghinga niya habang nakayakap sa a
Special ChapterHeto na po ang additional POV ni Professor Hugh McConaughey. Maraming salamat po sa suportang ibinigay ninyo hanggang dito. May we all learn from Hugh that going through the darkness doesn't make us small; it will make us see who we really are."Bye! Kung hindi mo ako susungitan next time, number two na kitang crush!" she giggled, then waved her booty purposefully.That kid.I didn't like her the first time I saw her. She's loud and always shows her assets. It's not the first time that I've seen girls like her. Madaming ganoon sa unibersidad na pinanggalingan ko, laging nagpapakita ng interest sa akin. And I despise girls like her.Wala siyang ipinagkaiba sa ex-girlfriend ko. I had to stay away from her. Ayaw ko na nang panibagong sakit sa ulo. Ayaw kong ma-involve sa isang kagaya niya. But here I am, kneeling in front of her. I lowered my ego, holding both of her delicate hands."I will be strong for you. I'll be strong for both of us." Hinahalikan ko ang kanyang kam
Epilogue: Family McConaughey "Baby," I yawned out loud. Nagising kasi ako na wala na siya sa tabi ko. "Why are you here?" I asked as I sit next to her. She wore sexy short skirt, low cut top, and feathery white slippers. Kahit buntis na ang sexy pa rin manamit but its fine with me. She's hot! She was watching another sad love story film. Oh well! It's a film about how a deep love can fade and morph into something much uglier. The film follows the two lovers' relationship as it evolves from youthful and loving to a strained, unraveling marriage."I'm watching," she said, her eyes is still fixed in the television. I gently pulled her in and placed her head in my lap. I pulled the blanket and covered herself up until her big chest. Kabuwanan na niya ngayon kaya napakalaki na ng tiyan niya. Parang nakalunok ng malaking pakwan! But I'd never tell her that; I'd always tell her she's beautiful because it's true. She's gotten hotter now that she's due. Mabuti na lang at hindi siya nagyayay
Chapter 40: The Sofa"You've been crying for a long time, baby. I won't leave you again," he said, hugging me and gently raking my hair. His voice was so soft that it made me cry again. My chest tightens and warm tears flow through my eyes."Hindi ka man lang nagpaalam. I should have been there. What if you don't make it?" sumbat ko. He chuckled kaya bumaba ang kamay ko sa tagiliran niya at pino ko iyong kinurot. "Hugh, I'm serious." I roughly stated. I wanted to lecture him, but he's not paying attention. "You should have told me." "I can't. Alam kong bibitawan mo ang pangarap mo para sa akin at hindi ko kaya iyon. That is your dream." "But you're also a part of my dream," I mumbled, but loud enough for him to hear.He stilled and was unable to respond for a brief moment. "Does that mean I was the lucky one?""Who else?" My right hand made a light punch to his chest. Hinuli niya iyon, inilagay sa tapat ng puso niya at naramdam kong kay lakas ng tibok n'on. "God! He must have allo
Chapter 39: His BattleHugh POV"Mahal na mahal kita. Hindi ko kakayanin kapag nakipaghiwalay ka sa akin. Please, Hugh. Hihintayin kitang gumaling." I couldn't bear the thought of that happening to her. She was kneeling and punching her chest in front of me, begging me not to end our relationship. But I'm still interested in doing it. I no longer recognize myself. I simply want to live alone. And all I want is for her to leave me alone.I was stunned when she reached for the knot of my robe with her two hands. She reached for my shaft and gently fondled it, wrapping her fingers around it and cupping my balls. She looked up at me as she slid her tongue over the tip of my cock and kissed it. Napapikit ako habang dinadama ang mainit niyang labi sa akin. Iniliyad ko pa ang sarili ko. But I stop and tried pushing her, but she just kept doing it. I could see her tears while she was doing it, and it broke my heart. How could this young lady have turned out this way? She could go to any len
Chapter 38: The Boarder Later that afternoon, I thought nakatakas na ako sa mga kaibigan ko dahil simula kahapon ay hindi ko na muling ni-on ang mobile phone ko ngunit nagulat na lang ako na nasa labas na ng kuwarto ko si Penelope. Sisigaw pa lang sana siya ngunit tinakpan ko na ang bibig niya. "Angela is sleeping in my room," I gritted my teeth. Natatawa niyang inalis ang kamay kong nakatakip sa bunganga niya at hinila niya ako papasok sa kuwarto ko. We passed my bed, and she excitedly opened and closed the balcony door.Doon na siya nagtititili and she moved closer to me. "Tell me!" sabi niya habang abot hanggang tenga ang ngiti niya. "Dagko ba?" "Please!" I rolled my eyes on her. "Mabuti at nakauwi ka pa, no'ong nag-away kami ni Jigs, hindi na ako nakatayo dahil pinagod niya ako-" Tinakpan ko ang tenga ko at hindi pinakinggan ang mga sinasabi niya. "La la la la la la la la la," I hummed. I'm not interested in her sexcapades with her husband, but she's sige sa daldal. On my par
Chapter 37: Avoid HimWhen I awoke, it was already dark, and I couldn't remember anything that had happened to me until I saw an image of a man showering in the glass en-suite bathroom. I could hear him humming a song that I had long since forgotten about.Ipinikit kong muli ang mga mata ko because I thought I was just dreaming, but when I felt the soreness and stiffness between my thighs, I opened my eyes again. Fuck! What was going on? Lumipad ang tingin ko sa taong naliligo sa banyo and my eyes widened in shocked! Isn't everything a dream? Did we actually do it? Oh my God! And just like that, naalala ko na ang nangyari. The warm sensation of his touch, fingers, his skilled tongue, and his thick-long veiny thing hanging between his legs. While remembering our steamy sex, my face becomes extremely hot. Was it lovemaking, then?Napabalikwas ako ng bangon ngunit humiga ulit ako dahil sobrang sakit ng nasa pagitan ng mga hita ko at ng buong katawan ko, parang binugbog ang pakiramdam ko
Chapter 36: Sunset"Are you alright, Skye?" In a gentle tone, he asked. He then approached me, turned halfway around, and kneeled in front of me. Umiling ako habang pigil ko pa rin ang sarili ko sa pag-iyak. Hindi ako makapagsalita ngayong nasa harap ko na siya. He took my hand, brought it up to his lips, and kissed my palms, causing me to cry once more. "What's the matter, baby?" He inquired, his more mature face befuddled. He wiped away the tears with both of his thumbs. Nang hindi tumigil sa kakatulo ang luha ko ay kinuha na niya ang panyo sa bulsa ng suot niyang trousers at ipinunas iyon ng marahan sa pisngi ko. "Please, baby. Tell me." Umiling ako ulit. He then drew me in and let me cry in his now larger chest. I could smell his usual aftershave, which made me cry even harder. I miss his scent so much. I long to be in his arms again. I long to be held by him again.He didn't ask any more questions, but he cradled me in his arms like a child. One arm cradled me, and the other w
Chapter 35: The Truth"I still need to meet with Mr. Aboitiz later," pagpapaalam ko kay Angelo habang nagdadrive siya papunta ng Waterfront Hotel. Nag check-in daw sila roon kagabi dahil kinulit siya ng kinulit ng batang nasa bisig ko, excited na raw kasi siyang makita ako.She's sleeping soundly now because she's exhausted from walking and running around the airport waiting for me, and she's also full from the milk she drinks."Take your time. Argus will most likely invite you to dinner." His gaze is fixed on the highway."No. Babalik din kaagad ako after ng meeting namin." "Hindi mo sure. You know him better than I do." He smirked as he cast a quick glance at me."Ayaw ko nang pumagitna sa dalawang iyon. Nakakapagod silang payuhan. Mag-aaway, maghihiwalay at magbabalikan ulit. Matutulog na lang ako kaysa sayangin ang laway ko sa kapapayo sa kanila."Natatawa at napapailing si Angelo sa naririnig niya mula sa akin. "Right, magbalikan sila kung gusto talaga nila. Kung ayaw, huwag na
Chapter 34: I've Always Been Your's "Mommy, where are you now?" It was yet another video call with Angela. Nakasimangot na siya at mukhang naiinip na dahil wala pa rin ako sa Cebu hanggang ngayon. The plane was supposed to land in Manila, but due to bad weather, it had to make an emergency landing in Clark. May mga nagpaypay dahil sa init at inip na inip naman ang karamihan sa loob ng eroplano. Nagrereklamo naman ang isang ginang dahil nagugutom na raw siya. The flight crew then tends to their needs at binigyan ng tubig at tinapay ang mga pasahero. Humingi rin ng paumanhin ang piloto dahil sa pangyayaring iyon. "We apologize for any inconvenience, Ma'am." A fair-skinned flight attendant approached me, smiling."It's fine with me. I understand." I smiled back at her.She then offered me a drink, which I declined. Malakas pa ang hangover ko sa nagdaang sobetsukai kagabi kaya natulog na lang ako. Kahit noong mag-take-off na pabalik ng Manila ang plane ay pinilit ko pa ring bumalik uli
