[Fia's POV]
EVERSINCE mga bata pa kami madalas na talaga niya akong iniinis. Cassy, her sister, used to be my closest girl friend way back in grade school. Kapag naabutan ko si Kayden sa bahay nila lalo na at wala si Elijah ay expected ko nang may gagawin siyang kalokohan.
Kahit ngayon, tandang-tanda ko parin ang isa sa mga kahayupang ginawa niya sakin nun. I started to hate him because of that. Halos mamatay ako sa takot nun ng sinabuyan niya ako ng live na cockroach which I later found out na laruan lang pala. Takot-takot ako sa cockroach kaya halos nagka nervous breakdown ako. Balde-balde pang luha ang iniyak ko nun na kahit mommy ko ay nahirapan akong patahanin.
Hindi ko nga alam kung saan siya nagmana. Sobrang ibang iba ang ugali nila ni Elijah. As in complete opposite. Both their father, Tito Gab, is one of the nicest person that I've ever met. Sobrang cool at mabait kahit na medyo pormal. Mukha lang yata ni Tito Gab ang minana ni Kayden. Kahit na ang mommy nila, si Tita Sofia, ay mabait rin kahit na may pagka-temperamental. Ang bukod tangi niyang babaeng kapatid na si Cassy ay kasundong-kasundo ko. Same goes on with Mikho and Rafael na parehong maganda naman ang pakikitungo sa'kin noon. Siya lang ang bukod tanging naiiba. Masama ang ugali. Asal hayup. Antipako. Arrogante. At higit sa lahat, bastos!
Bastos na lalaking yun. Ang sarap sakalin hanggang sa mawalan ng hininga, o kaya ibitin ng patiwarik tapos paikot-ikutin sa ere at gawing target, or better yet ilublob sa kumukulong sabaw tapos budboran ng maraming asin, sili, paminta, bawang, sibuyas, suka, tuyo, patis, gawing ulam at ipakain sa aso...or more like baboy, nagngingitngit kong naisaisip habang naghahalungkat ng desenteng damit na maipangpapalit.
Wala akong robe so I settled for an oversized shirt and a loose pajama bottom. Nagsuot narin ako ng bra. I did not bring a bunch of clothes kasi plano ko na dito nalang sa Pinas bumili. Siguro naman ay wala nang masisilip ang gonggong nayun.
Humugot muna ako ng sangkaterbang hangin bago lumabas. Naningkit agad ang mga mata ko sa naabutang tagpo. The jerk was sitting comfortably on my sofa, one arm resting on the backrest, one hand eating my favorite black chocolate and feet resting on top of the center table!
Pigil na pigil ko ang sariling abutin ang isang ahas na figurine sa tabi ko at ibato sa ulo niya. Ugh! This guy's impossible!
"Bakit ka nandito?" pumamewang ako at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
Kayden took his last bite of the chocolote at bumaling sakin, saka dinilaan isa -isa ang mga daliri niya na para bang sarap na sarap sa kinain. The sight made my throat dry, bringing dirty thoughts inside my head.
Bwisit natu nang-aakit pa! Akala niya naman madadaan niya ako sa mga ganyan?!, said my conscience.
"Easy Fia, BABE," sagot niyang binigyang diin ang salitang 'Babe' habang pinasadahan na naman ako ng tingin. "I brought you a present. Bakit hindi ka maupo dito sa tabi ko?" he tapped the space beside him.
Kaunti nalang talaga. Lord, pigilan niyo ako. Please lang mapapatay ko na ang h*******k natu.
"Pwede ba, Kayden? Kung pumunta ka dito para bwisitin ako ay mabuti pang umalis kana!" asar kong sabi sabay ismid.
"Is that how you welcome your guest? Hindi mo lang ba ako na miss after all these years? Come on Fia, why won't you give this guy a hug. For old times sake," he teased na mukhang pigil pa ang nakakalokong tawa.
Hug mong mukha mo! Sobra pa nga diyan naibigay ko sa'yo!
Lalong tumaas ang kilay ko sa inis. "Excuse me, as far as I can remember Mister AAA as in Annoying Arrogant Asshole, hindi tayo close. Kaya please lang, spare me this nonsense now. Ano ba talaga ang kailangan mo?"
"Kailangan ko o kailangan mo?" he wiggled his eyebrows and fished out something from his back pocket. Inilabas niya ang cellphone ko at isinunod naman niya ang camera.
"Give that back to me, you jerk!" Muntik ko nang makalimutang nasa kanya pala ang gadgets ko. Though I seldom used the phone kasi iyong isa kong phone ang ginagamit ko. Si Mommy, once in a blue moon lang rin iyong tumatawag dahil sobrang busy sa negosyo. Right now, my desperation points on the camera. Dapat ko iyong makuha sa kanya.
"Madali naman akong kausap." Iwinagayway niya ang phone at camera ko saka ininguso ang lugar kung saan niya ako gustong umupo kanina. "Come on Fia, I won't do anything that you won't like."
Nag-atubili akong lumapit kasi alam kong may gagawin na naman siyang hindi maganda. But since I was desperate to claim back my phone and my camera ay ginawa ko nalang. Pigil hininga akong naupo sa dulo ng sofa. I gave enough space dahil ni hininga niya ay hindi ko maatim na marinig.
"Come on, closer babe. Sobrang apektado ka naman yata sa presensiya ko. I won't bite." Mas lalong lumawak ang pagkakangisi ng h*******k.
"Huy, conceited jerk na akala mo kung sinong God's gift to women, FYI, hindi ako apektado sa presensiya mong wala namang kadating-dating. Nag-iingat lang ako. At pwede ba? Tigil-tigilan mo ang kakatawag ng nakakasukang babe na yan? Nakakangilo lalo na't galing sa'yo."
He laughed that evil kind of laugh and placed the gadgets beside him. "Matanda na tayo pero asar talo ka parin."
"Iyon na nga eh, matanda na tayo pero wala ka paring pinagbago. Bastos ka parin." Napairap ako at natukso na abutin ang camera ko na nasa tabi niya.
"Paano naman ako naging bastos?" he asked saka ibinaba ang mga paa mula sa mesa at hinarap na ako ng tuluyan. Malisyoso niya muling pinagmasdan ang mukha ko at tumigil pa ang mga mata niya sa labi ko. I almost wet my lips, my heart involuntary starts to change its pace again.
God. Why is this jerk expertly gets under my skin?
"Hindi ka aware?!" I hissed and forced myself to meet his gaze.
"Hindi eh," painosente niyang sagot. "I only came here to bring back your phone and your camera. Infact, I am doing you a favor. Nagmamagandang loob lang akong suklian ang ginawa mo sa'kin. I forgot to tell you that I enjoyed it very much too, like you did. Calm do-"
"Asshole it wasn't meant for you! It was for someone else! At hindi ako nag-enjoy hayup ka!" I cut him off. Pakiramdam ko nagsisiusukan na ang tenga at ilong ko sa inis. At ang lalong mas nakakainis ay trinatraidor narin ako ng sarili kong katawan.
"Meant for whom?"
"Give that back to me!" Hindi ko na siya pinansin. Desperada na akong makuha ang gamit ko kaya
dumukwang ako to secure the camera first. Pero mabilis talaga ang reflexes ni Kayden. The camera was on his hand again in a flash. Nawala na ang kaninang kinimkim kong pasensiya kaya gumapang agad ako para agawin sa kamay niya iyon."Akin na 'yan!" I crawled on top of him, my hands aiming for the camera but kayden's arms were longer than me kaya nahirapan akong agawin iyon sa kanya. "Ano ba!" sigaw ko pero tumawa lang siya. I wasn't even aware na nakadagan na pala ako sa itaas niya. My legs spread apart on either side of his waist, my sex pressed against his belly, and my breast served right in front of his mouth.
Sa pagkagulat ko ay agad akong napabalikwas ng bangon at naitukod ang mga kamay ko sa gawing ibaba niya. Only then, did I notice, that my hand was clutching against a huge hard poking thing.... His thing...
Oh my God!Oh my God!
"Ahhhhhh!" I shouted and jumped up on top of him like a bolt of lightning, wiggling my dirty little hand, trying to save it from committing more sin.
God, I didn't touch him! I just didn't!
[Kayden's POV]
FIA'S reaction was priceless. I wish I could capture that epic animation on her face. Naniningkit ang mga mata niya sa galit habang gigil akong tinititigan. Her chest hardly rising up and down in obvious animosity. Her hands balding into a fist na mukhang nagpipigil lang na mabato ako ng kung anong gamit. I fought myself to smile. Surely, If looks could kill, I'd probably be dead by now.
Mahigit sampung taon ng huli ko siyang makita. She was a very skinny teenager back then, a walking stick. No boobs no butt. May braces rin siya noon, may pimples sa mukha and her hair was a bit wavy and tangled. Sobrang lampa pa niya na ni ultimo hangin ay kayang-kaya siyang liparin.
But looking at her right now. I'd say she'd pass my standards. I did even have a hard time recognizing her. Life in the States must have been really good for her. She was still skinny but perfectly got the curves, in all the right places now. Her boobs were of the average size but looked firm and perky. Her long black locks that cascade just above her tiny waist was a bit messy but it made her little heart-shaped face look more beguiling. Even her skin's unbelievably fair and creamy. It reminded me of peaches and cream.
Hell, but my manhood automatically throbbed up to life the moment she came right up in front of me with that sleep on. Good thing she had changed into a decent pair of clothes now. That sight earlier left nothing to my imagination, bringing me back to that night. That night where she'd expertly given me the best head of my life. I swear I was coming so fast I thought I would shoot up with my pants on. This woman was far from being good. So good that I had slept with blue balls for four f*cking nights.
I couldn't get my mind off of her since that night. Her voice, her heady smell, her soft skin...Damn, I was almost convinced that an "A" bitch was giving me that head until I saw her face.
I tried to rearrange my pants as my dick grew more painfully inside. What happened to yeah buddy? Cut some slack in there and behave!
She was still standing a few meters from me right now, maybe trying to calm herself. I've watched her mouth open and close na mukhang may gustong sabihin pero muli ring tinikom.
I couldn't help but wonder if how many dicks had she tasted with that pretty little mouth of hers. I cursed under my breath at the thought. Why would I care? She said that was meant for someone else, not me, and obviously, it was for my brother. Whom she had been in love with for like forever, I guess.
I swallowed hard as I felt my throat dry. Tandang-tanda ko pa ang nangyari ng gabing iyon. A woman came right up to me after I danced with Elijah's fiancee, Veronica. It was their engagement party and Veronica was kind of dreamy to organize a masquerade party.
I was on my mask when this woman in a glittering mask approached to snatch me out of the crowd, telling me that a beautiful gift was waiting right up to me. The first thing that came to my mind was Bleeze. He and the guys must have paid bimbos to play a prank on me as an early birthday treat. Heck, who am I to decline? I love women. And the past months of my life bore me to death. I thought to give it a shot.
Once I was in the van, ay nakita kong may iba pa pala siyang kasamang mga babae. They were dressed up like the dolls in Vegas with only their underwear on. They didn't say any word, they just went up right away to put a tape in my mouth, blindfolded me, and handcuffed my wrist. I could only hear their faint giggles while the van was heading on. I didn't even remember how much time was the drive and how I'd landed inside a huge motel room. Medyo nakainom narin ako nun and I was too excited about the promising gift they've told me. One of the girls told me that Venus was coming. Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Her name alone could stir any man's libido in a snap. I did hope that just like her name, she could show me some love.
And showed the love she did...more than what I expected. Only, she wasn't the Venus of love but the feisty little woman who hated me ever since when we were kids. Ferrofia, the object of my childhood bully days.
Funny how fate could play a fool on us, huh?
I couldn't believe she masquerades herself to be one of those bimbos. Nag-utos pa siya ng mga bayarang babae. People at the party had their mask on. Magkasing katawan at magkasing tangkad kami ni kuya kaya malamang ay naipagkamali kaming dalawa ng babaeng inutusan niya. Mabuti nalang at hindi si kuya ang nadukot ng babaeng iyon. I couldn't even imagine Fia doing the same to my brother. And my brother got himself a fiancee for Pete's sake! What was Fia thinking? Ganun na ba siya ka desperada?
[Kayden's POV]"I hate you..."Fia faintly said when she recovered from her trance.I guess her emotion had died down. Medyo kalmado na ang paghinga niya. She took a swig of the water that she pulled out from the fridge at naupo sa kaharap kong sofa."Careful, babe. You might end up liking me,"I retorted with a grin.Thankfully, my boner showed some mercy on me too. I should probably get this buddy to good use later. Probably with Ally. My flavor of the month."Why are you smiling? Hindi kana nakakatuwa, ha!Unggoy ka talaga! At anong sabi mo? Ikaw magugustuhan ko? Kahit na ikaw nalang siguro ang nag-iisang lalaki s
[Fia's POV]HINDI ko naiwasang e-stalk ang mga social account, at e-google ang tungkol kay Kayden ng nagdaang gabi. Sinagad sagad ko na.Model. Entrepreneur. Singer. Artist. Filmmaker.Ang ilan sa mga nakasulat sabioniya. Ni hindi ko na matandaan ang iba sa dami.Seriously?Hindi kapani-paniwala. Natatandaan ko noong highschool e-may banda siya. Pero hindi ko inaasahang aside sa boses niya, na hindi ko naman ipagkakailang maganda ay may iba pa pala siyang talent.Lalo tuloy akong nanlumo. If ever the video will leak, na sana naman ay hindi, ay siguradong mas pabor iyon kay Kayden. He's quite famous, and publicity, either good or bad could shoot up his popularity
[Fia's POV]I USEDto be a spoiled baby girl of my father. Noon yun, nung sila pa ni mommy. But when my father left us for another woman ay natutunan ko rin ang magpahalaga sa mga bagay-bagay. I've witnessed kung paano naging napakahirap ng sitwasyon namin nun. My mom never accepted anything from my father matapos nilang maghiwalay. Even my trust fund, which my father intentionally secured for my future ay hindi ginalaw ni mommy. Ganun siya ka ma-pride.And looking back of what we've become, masasabi kong ang nanay ko talaga ang pinakaulirang ina sa lahat ng mga nanay. I'm so proud of my mom dahil nakuha niyang itaguyod ang pamumuhay namin sa sariling lang niyang pagsisikap.Siguro, ang drawback lang ng nanay ko ay nung tuluyan narin niyang pinapu
[ Fia's POV] "WAKE up, sleepyhead. It's time to work,"I groaned when I felt a hot breath fanned against my ear. I sleepily moved and blinked my eyes. My voice was caught up inside my throat when I realized that Kayden's face was almost an inches away from my face. He was wearing a smirk, his eyes masking a whimsical look. Agad akong napabalikwas ng bangon at malakas siyang naitulak. "Anong ginagawa mo?!"I hissed as my heart unknowingly starts to beat in haywire. I felt my cheeks flush ng bigla kong maalala ang kahayupang ginawa niya kagabi. Ugh. Why did I ever let him do that? You were only caught off guard,equipped my friendly conscience.
[Fia's POV]KANINApa sumasakit ang panga ko sa kakatawa. I was glad that Eric got to show me around with the members of the production. Si Kempoy ang kasalukuyang nagdadaldal. He's the set designer and he has a deadpan sense of humor. He cracks a joke without smiling. Tapos, ang cute cute pa niyang magsalita kasi chubby yung mukha niya. He kinda reminds me of Majin Buu inDragon Ball Z.Hindi ko na pinansin si Kayden magmula kanina. Mukhang plano yata niyang magpakamatay sa gutom. Bahala siya. Baka pinakain narin siya nung aristang lumalandi sa kanya."Poy, awat na 'di na makahinga si Fia,"puna ni Alvi na siya namang props manager."Okay lang. Gusto ko nga eh. Ang pamatay ng mga orig niyang banat,
[Fia's POV]KAHITlabag sa kalooban ko, I did what Kayden asked of me yesterday. I washed his soiled clothes, piled his personal stuff , at inayos ko rin ang tulugan niya na katabi lang nitong kwarto namin ni Manang Marla. Nagbakasakali pa nga akong baka naihalo niya ang camera ko sa mga personal niyang gamit kaya medyo na excite ako kahapon.Pero si Kayden pa ba? You know how wise that jerk is, right?Siguro naman pwede na niya akong maisingit sa busy niyang schedule kahit sandali lang. I need to ask him of the terms again. I can't go on working like this na wala naman akong reassurance. Elijah will be marrying next year. By then baka hawak parin ako ni Kayden sa leeg.Nagsisikip na naman ang di
[Fia's POV]"MANANG, may pupuntahan po kaming isla ni Eric ngayon,"sabi ko habang nagbibihis.I wore the only two piece that I have. A leopard printed bikini and top it with a floral printed see-through beach dress. Good thing naisama ko ito sa mga na empake ko. I have nothing else to do in this cottage and I was sure that Kayden will be home after midnight. It was always the routine. Pagkatapos niya akong ihatid sa hapon para samahan si Manang Marla na maghanda ng hapunan ay babalik muli siya sa set. Hanggang magdamag na siya roon.Since nakapaglaba naman na ako nung isang araw, bukas ko nalang ulit lalabhan iyong natira niyang nahubad na damit. Nakakaimbyerna pa dahil lahat halos ng t-s
[Kayden's POV]I HAVEnothing against love. How could I question a thing as beautiful as what I have always seen with my parents since I was a kid? I sure know it's a beautiful thing.My father and my mother are still madly in love with each other until now. Dad could still put up my mom's nasty temper every day, he still calls her his angel, he never misses a day without telling her how much he loves her, he still cooks her favorite dish even if he's too tired from work, he still pampers her like a queen. And dad still looks at mom the way he looks at her every day since I could remember—full of love and adoration.The same goes with my mother, she never forgets to tell dad of how much she loves him every day, of how proud she was of dad fo
[Fia's POV]I'M SCHEDULEDfor an elective cesarean section tomorrow and everything wouldn't sink into me still. Ayaw kong magkaroon ng hiwa ang tiyan ko but Kayden do not want to put my life on risk. My baby boy (turned out opposite from my vision) abruptly increased on my third trimester and became a macro baby weighing almost 9.5 pounds now at my 38th week. Can you imagine how small I am carrying a big baby inside my tummy? My amniotic fluid abruptly increased too and I've developed gestational diabetes along the way. My extremities are swelling and I looked like an ugly bloated fat panda. The worst, umitim ang ilang parte ng katawan ko--my neck, my underarm, my bikini line.My self-esteem is at its lowest and I don't know if I can still get back into shape at kung maibabalik ko pa ang dating kul
[Fia's POV]My Baby,I've always dreamed of giving you a letter ever since we were kids but failed. I've lost count how many letters I've written just to express how sorry I am for making you cry every time I pissed you off. I tried handing them to you, all of it, but I fall short of bravery. I was afraid that you won't take them or you won't read them like how you'd read the letters of my brother. I've watched how your beautiful eyes glow and glimmer with sheer delight every time he hands you his letters. I was scared that I won't see the same vibe from your eyes once you read mine. There were even times that I would only look at you from afar while you read his letters and I couldn't help but envy. How I wished I could also put a smile on your cute little lips or could arouse a gi
[Fia's POV] "Daddy I want a pigtail hairstyle! I don't want this lousy braided ponytail!"My little girl pouted while she removed the pink band her daddy tied on her copper curly hair. A smile broke on my lips. Our little girl looked so cute with her crinkled round chocolate brown eyes and pouted red little lips. She was already three years old and she had grown so pretty and adorable. Only, she could get a handful at times. Kasalanan rin ng daddy niya dahil masyado niyang ini-spoil ang anak namin. Her daddy sighed and took the pink band on her hand."I thought you liked the pony. You've been asking me to do that hairstyle for so long. You said it's your favorite."
[Fia's POV]Myshoulders were shaking and my eyes were blinded with tears as Kayden sauntered to my side, his moistened eyes fixed on mine. His eyes that always know what I feel. His eyes that speak to me now of how much he loves me."Kay-den..."I muttered softly, my voice shaking.Though I was weak and strictly in complete bed rest ay sinikap ko na bumangon agad. I was about to jump into his arms when he caught me with his and shut me into a tight embrace. Sobrang mahigpit na mahigpit ko rin siyang niyakap at tuluyan na akong napahagulhol. I hardly buried my face against his chest, taking into my senses his homey and incomparable warmth, his subtle comfort, his all too familiar scent, his heavy breathing, his erratic heartb
[Kayden's POV]I have never loved a woman to the point of losing myself. Since I started to recognize my feelings for her, she was the only one that I care about. I put her on a pedestal, taking away my pride, swallowing every ton of hurt that I feel whenever I don't hear a comeback I love you from her, giving her every favor though I feel like she had only kept me for her use. Kinaya kong lahat ng iyon because I was determined that eventually, I will have her heart.And I thought I did. But I just thought.Sinubukan kong gumalaw but I couldn't move a muscle. My head hurts from taking in over a dose of alcohol. I tried to move my hands but they hurt the same too. I might have broken every knuckle I have from beating the wall of this room. Ni hindi ko na kinayang umabot sa kama. I wasn't able to make it to bed last night because I've passed out when I've drained all my force of beating the wall. Ang natatandaan ko, hinatid ako ni Dino dito para m
[Fia's POV] "UHMMM..."I moaned to a slight pain that I feel in my tummy. The weird smell of medicine and antiseptic automatically filled my nostril. Binuksan ko ang mga mata ko at napatitig sa kabuoan ng silid. Agad ko namang nakita ang mga kaibigan ko. Alice was sitting in a stool beside my bed. Si Louise at si Mikaela naman ay sa isang couch malapit sa pinto. Kinutuban na agad ako ng masama. I put a hand in my tummy at pinakiramdaman ang baby ko. "Fia?! Thank God, you're awake!"Alice stood up from her stool at lumapit sa'kin."Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo? May masakit ba sa'yo?"She framed a hand to my cheek. Napatango ako at nag iinit ang mga matang napatitig sa kanya."
[Kayden's POV]Mymind had completely shut off as soon as I stormed inside their hotel room. My vision was fixed on the bodies coiled and naked under the white sheet. I clenched my hands into a fist, almost breaking the bones of my fingers. I could feel a massive gush of combined heat and cold pounding against my head, making me see nothing but red. My insides were burning with a passion to kill, a savage rage that needs to be released.Without warning, I came up to the f*cker not giving a f*ck if he was asleep and defenseless. Neither did I look at the woman beside him, afraid to see what'd be written in her eyes if they will shoot open to me. Nothing I did next make sense to me anymore. I thrashed the f*cker's head and violently slammed his body off the floor creating a loud thud. It made his eye
[Kayden's POV]I hit home in less than an hour, excited. I was hoping to see Fia. I was dying to claim the warm hug and the wet kiss that I wasn't able to have from her this morning. But the house lights were off when I got there. There was no sign of her. I heaved a sigh, trying to ease out the burden in my chest. Nagkatampuhan lang naman kami. I never thought she would take it as bad as it is right now. It was past eight and she should have been home by now. She was taking a day off and I wasn't sure if she was with her friends. Wala naman siyang sinabing gagawin ngayon.With a heavy heart, I headed to her room wishing to see her lying in bed with my clothes on. But I was just imagining. I knew she was never home.Baby, please where are you? Nanghihinang nap
[Fia's POV]I HAILEDa taxi not knowing where to go. I just asked the driver not to stop driving. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. My mind wouldn't function well no matter how hard I tried. My insides felt like being squashed by a force and it's about to explode anytime. I felt like there was also a huge vacuum that clenches my chest. The pain in my throat and my chest is unbearable. I have never felt any pain like this before. Ni hindi ko naramdaman ang ganitong klase ng sakit nung nalaman ko ang tungkol kay Elijah at Veronica.This is too much.Ni laway hindi ko makuhang malunok dahil sa sikip ng lalamunan ko. Hirap na hirap akong lumanghap ng hangin para punuin ang baga ko. My body was still shaking and I have to rest my trembling hands to my stom
