JENNAPAGKATAPOS nang nangyaring gulo sa Study, mabilis kumilos ang mga amigo ni Uncle para sa damage control. The guests were led back to the ballroom with the excuse that everything was just a misunderstanding… walang anumang meron sa Study.No, walang proposal or something like that.Laurel disappeared very quickly. Matapos maayos ang sarili at mataboy ang mga guests sa hallway, tumakbo siya palabas, dumaan sa backdoor, at umalis.I didn’t think I would see her again if she could help it. Keith was made to stay to explain. To Uncle Markus, at least. Hindi na niya kailangan pang mag-explain sa akin. Iniwan ko sila sa Study at sinamahan ko si Auntie Claudine sa kanyang kwarto kung saan nangailangan siya nang ilang mga sandali para kumalma. No, she didn’t touch the water. She asked for a shot of her husband’s whiskey.Nakaupo siya sa kama, nakasandal sa headboard. “You poor girl. You knew! Kaya kakaiba ang mga kilos mo ngayong gabi. Sabi ko na nga ba, may nangyari. You were so… so

TOPHER“SO, as I understand it correctly, Keith and Laurel were both fired?” I asked as an opener when Jenna arrived. Nakaupo ako sa bench na kahoy sa gitna ng garden kung saan ko siya hinihintay, napapalibutan ng mababangong mga bulaklak at mga puno at marahang mga liwanag mula sa mga solar na strategically located para makapagbigay ng dramatic na aesthetic sa lugar.Tumango siya. “I don’t think they had to get fired. Kung may mukha pa silang ihaharap pagkatapos nang klase ng pagkabisto sa kanila, ewan ko na lang…” Nagbuntunghininga siya. “I actually pity them now. Pero ako ba ang gumawa nang ginawa nila? In my uncle’s house pa talaga.” At wala nang awa sa tinig nito, kundi nagagalit na naman. Umabot ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa likod ng bench at hinaplos ko ang pisngi niya. “Are you okay?”Kumiling ang ulo niya palapit sa kamay ko at humilig. “Okay lang ako kasi nawala ‘yong pag-aalala sa magagawa niya laban sa akin if hindi nangyari itong gabing ito. But… I still don’t know kung

More than a month later…JENNAI DIDN’T mean to come here. I didn’t mean to think about him as soon as I got back from my vacation. I just couldn’t help myself.So here I was, standing outside his door on the very same day I got off the plane, not sure exactly what to do. I just knew that in this big city, he was the first person I wanted to see when I came back.But I didn’t want him to get the wrong impression. This was just how I felt. He was cool and smart, and he was safe. He was the kind of guy who would not think more than what I was ready for him to think, and I enjoyed being with him. I enjoyed sex with him like I never had in my entire life. He was… comfortable.And exciting.Shit, yes, that’s the crux of it. He was very exciting to be with.I miss him. Kahit pa ano na siya ngayon, kung may nagbago na. I didn’t care. I wanted to be friends.We agreed to prioritize our lives before I left for Bali. Ako, mommy ko at bakasyon ko. Shopping. Reading my long list of TBR.

JENNASABIK na sabik ang halik niya, mainit.Pumalibot sa akin ang kanyang mga bisig at nahapit ako sa mas mahigpit na yakap, and I found myself throwing my arms around his neck as I opened my mouth to his prodding tongue. Hindi ko alam kung paano ipaliliwanag iyong pakiramdam ng sobrang familiarity sa halik niya, sa yakap niya, sa katawan niya at maraming iba pa tungkol sa kanya. I had never felt anything like this. Kay Topher lamang, and it was from the first time he kissed me.May time noong nasa Bali ako na sabi ko sa sarili ko, baka nagkamali lang ako. Baka hindi totoo, inimbento ko lang kasi gustung gusto ko iyong pakiramdam. Kasi kailangan ko iyong maramdaman.But here it was again. I was in his arms.At naiiyak ako.Kasi it felt like I’d come home, and nothing else felt right than that at this moment, yakap niya ako. Hindi siya nagbago. Welcome pa rin ako. This was more than anything I’d expected na pagtanggap niya sa pagpunta ko rito.Have I mentioned he’s the best kisser

JENNAI LANDED on the soft sheets of his bed, breathless and wanting. Did I expect this when I was still deciding if I should knock on his door a moment ago? I wasn’t sure. I was only sure that now, sex with him was the only thing I could think of.“Topher…” I moaned as he followed. I could feel the hardness of his body curving its shape to my soft one as he lay half on top of me. I loved saying his name, loved hearing it when I say it. I couldn’t help it. “Oh, Topher!” I whispered again, breathless, opening my thighs wider so his lower torso could settle where I wanted him to be. I could feel his hard cock pressing desperately to my center, arousing me more in spite of our clothes.I think we thought of clothes at about the same time because in synchronized motions we began, quite desperately, to take them off each other’s bodies. We didn’t stop until we were both naked and kissing and rubbing our skin against each other in frenzied desperation. My skin felt like it was on fi

TOPHERI WAS kissing her again, and she moaned as she moved to get closer to me, rubbing herself against my body.“Ahh… Jenna…” Hinalikan ko ang puno ng isang seksing balikat. Binigay niya ang gilid ng leeg sa aking sunod na mga halik. Kinagat niya ang balikat ko bilang ganti, at lalo pang tumitigas ang aking ari.Naramdaman ko ang kamay niyang pumalibot sa akin at mahina siyang tumawa. “I can’t believe you’re hard again this fast.”“Sabik ako sa ‘yo,” kumpisal ko habang pumipihit ng higa at nagbabalik sa pagitan ng kanyang mga hita. “Na-miss mo talaga ang baby mo?” Natunaw yata ang puso ko sa tudyo niya. But my dick’s reaction was more obvious. It got even harder. “I can’t even hide it, baby.”Tumango siya, namumula pa rin ang mga pisngi, ang mga labi ay namamantal sa aking mga halik, nanlalamlam ang mga mata. I couldn’t resist kissing her again. Hindi yata mawawala ang gutom ko sa mga labi ni Jenna.“Ready for me again?” I asked, my voice sounding like I had gravel on my throat

TOPHERI TRIED not to listen to rumors. Pero hindi maiwasan. Pinag-uusapan siya kahit saan.Sinasabi nilang nagbago na si Jenna. She was all over the place, flirting with anyone who would flirt back. Mula noong bumalik siya sa office, laman na siya ng parties kahit hindi naman siya palalabas before. She went out with friends, wearing hot clothes and stilettos, having a great time with girl friends and male admirers. They were fascinated with the new Jenna. Somehow, her actions didn’t shame her. Kasi maganda. Kasi sexy. And single. And she could move, and dance. And she just came out of a rather stupid relationship. She deserved it.Kasi spontaneous, nakakadala ang mga halakhak niya. Nakakainggit kasi hindi kayang gawin nang iba ang ganoon. Pero masayang kasama. Nakakawala ng problema.She’d become notoriously famous.She didn’t care what people think now. But sometimes, she looked lonely. Sabi.Minsan daw natutulala pa rin. Kapag naririnig ko iyon, natutulala rin ako.I sent h

TOPHERI KISSED her–hard–because I missed kissing her and I wanted her to know.I kissed her the best way that I know because I wanted all other kisses from other men gone from her memory. She kissed me back as hard and as hotly. I pushed her with my body towards the door and she knew why because it was her hand that reached for the knob behind her to lock it. Sabi ko na nga ba. Para sa aming dalawa, walang halfway-halfway. She wanted me, too. As in now.But I was me, stupid me. At napaungol ako pero kailangan kong gawin ang sunod. Inangat ko ang ulo ko at tumingin ako sa kanya hanggang napilitan siyang magmulat ng kanyang mga mata.“Yes,” she replied before I even asked the question.“Oh, Jenna…” paiyak kong tugon dahil sa sobrang relief. We still synched, she and I. As I reached for the hem of her short dress, she was unbuckling my belt.“Topher, who still wears belts?” reklamo niya.Natawa ako habang nakasubsob sa kanyang dibdib. I was right. She was wearing a strapless bra. I

JENNA“SO, REALLY, when do you want us to get married? This summer na ba o gusto mo pang maghintay. I’m not rushing you, babe. Sina Mommy ‘yon. Pero kung hindi ka pa talaga ready, you can take all the time you need.”Napalabi ako habang tinatapos ang pagdidilig sa mga halaman ko bago kami mag-almusal pagkatapos ay umakyat para ituloy ang painting session niya na ako na naman ang modelo. “Kaya pala araw-araw ka kung magtanoong?”“Umaga, tanghali, gabi…” Ngumisi ito. “Baka lang naman kasi magbago ang isip mo at mag-set ka na ng date.”“Bukas, gusto mo pakasal na tayo.” Tinapunan ko siya ng matamis na ngiti.Sandali siyang natigilan habang nakasandal sa gilid ng dingding, suot pa ang kanyang running outfit at naaarawan ng pang-umagang sikat ng araw. Pagkatapos ay tumingin ito sa kaliwa, saka sa kanan, sa labas ng gate,, at nag-tense ako. Noong tumuwid siya at humakbang palapit sa akin, hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nagulat kasi ako at naitutok ko sa kanya ang hose ng tubig.At iyon, nata

JENNAIT WAS HIM. Ang kidnapper ko ay si Keith!Ang hayup na ‘yon!Nagbangon ang galit sa aking puso at napabangon ako sa kama. Pagkatapos naman ay nagpabalik-balik ako ng lakad sa sahig dahil sa hindi ko halos ma-contain na energy galing sa nagpupuyos kong galit. Biglang lahat ng takot na nagpapanginig sa kalamnan ko kanina ay naging pagkamuhi na ngayon. Noon lamang ako nakadama nang ganito sa isang tao. How dared he kidnap me and frighten me and my loved ones after what he did to me? So I destroyed his career>? So what?! I used to feel tiny pinpricks of guilt whenever I remembered how he’d become a pariah in his cirlce when he used to be crème de la crème after he was scandalously exposed for what he was pero ngayon?1 Nabura nang lahat! He dared defile my uncle’s study—nila ni Loren. He defiled my uncle’s house. And I was going to marry him! Mas mabuti na nangyari iyon kaysa nakasal muna ako sa buhong na Keith na iyon bago ko natuklasan kung anong klase siyang tao talaga!Narinig ko

JENNAKinuha ko iyon noong sigurado na akong malayo na siya sa pinto.Maghintay ka lang. Magpapadala ng ransom ang ina mo. Huwag kang gagawa nang kahit anong gulo para wala tayong problema at makakauwi ka agad. Nakadama ako ng matinding relief sa aking nabasa. So, ransom nga lamang ito. Salamat sa dios! Makakauwi ako nang ligtas. Ano kayang ginagawa nina Mommy? Ano kayang iniisip ni Topher? They must all be frantic with worry! I wished I could do something to let them know that I was okay. I meant, that I wasn’t being hurt. Ligtas ako, kahit kidnap situation ito. Parang takot pa ngang lumapit sa akin iyong lalaki. Ni hindi nga ako kinausap at dinaan na lamang sa note.Napakunot ang noo ko. Bakit nga ba?Takip na takip siya na parang ayaw makikilala. Siguro para hindi ko siya ma-identify pagkatapos kong makauwi at nakausap na namin ang mga pulis.Siguro nga…But…Iyong pagkakakuba nito. why did he have to hide the way he naturally stood. Dahil ba nakita ko na siya? Dahil

TOPHER“Hindi ko talaga alam na ganoon ang koneksyon nila, Topher. I swear,” umiiyak na sabi ni Evette na sobra kong kinaasiwa. Isa nga pala ito sa natagpuan kong absurd sa kanyang ugali, iyong kahit ano na lamang ay iniiyakan niya. Natataranta na naman ako kasi ayaw na ayaw ko pa namang nakakakita ng babaeng umiiyak. Hirap na hirap ang lkalooban ko.Lalo pa’t alam kong na may iba na akong girlfriend ngayon at inamin kong seryoso na kami ni Jenna ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mugto ang kanyang mga mata noong kumatok ako sa kanyang pinto ngayong umaga.“Evette, please… don’t cry. I just wanted to make sure she’s not planning something bad sa girlfriend ko.” I saw her wince“Okay, okay… I’ll call her. Sandali lang. I’ll ask kung pwede ko siyang makausap. I’ll ask kung pwede kaming magkita.”Sa wakas, kumilos siya at kinuha ang kanyang cellphone. Tinawagan niya si Loren. Humiling na makipagkita gaya nang kanyang sinabi at pumayag naman agad

TOPHERTinuloy ko ang indayog ng aking katawan para mapaligaya ko pa siya, batid na ang bawat ungol at hiyaw niya ng sarap ay patunay na kaming dalawa…? We were right for each other from the first day we made love last Christmas. Kung maipararamdam ko lang sa kanya kung gaano ako kasaya. I meant to keep this woman in my arms forever. I couldn’t imagine my life now without her.Hindi nagtagal at nataboy na ang mga iniisip ko ng papasarap at papasarap na pakiramdam ng mga ulos. I was thrusting faster now, harder, and she was getting louder.“Topher… Topher… dios ko! Ang sarap. How can you do this to me? You make me feel so good!”“We’ll do this every day. And every night. And all our free time in between. Oh, Jenna… ang sarap-sarap mo. I’m so crazy about you. And sarap-sarap mo talaga!”“Topher… Topher, malapit na ako! Malapit na—ahhh!”I held her as she convulsed, her inner muscles massaging my cock that I had to grit my teeth so I wouldn’t cum with her… yet. Gusto kong mapatagal pa it

JENNAHalos patapos na kami sa main dish ng meal nang magpasukan ang mga relatives. Nakuha ko agad nang makita ang kanilang ngiting ngiting mga mukha na isa itong surpresang ginawa ni Topher para sa akin.“Kaya pala okay lang na hindi na tayo bumalik, ha?” sita ko sa kanya bago ako tumayo para tanggapin ang unang lumapit at yumakap—si Auntie Claud.And then everyone was there, and it was a happy mess. This time, hindi na ako nakapiyok pa noong in-assert ni Topher ang sarili niya bilang boyfriend ko. Not when Uncle Markus was all about the two paintings of us together. And not when my mother looked so happy for me. Bumulong ang mommy ni Topher na noong una raw ay nagduda pa siya pero ngayon ay hindi na. Medyo naawa pa nga ako kay Maxine dahil halatang nalulungkot siya at pilit lang ang kanyang mga ngiti. Mabuti na lamang at may ilan sa mga artist friends at team ay invited din sa resto sa isa pang mesa at kahit papaano, nawili si Maxine sa pakikipagkwentuhan sa may tatlong binatang na

JENNA“BEFORE THE EXHIBITION, the paintings were shown in an online viewing for private collectors who would pay big for whatever they liked. My mom is one of those, as well as your uncle and aunt, and many of their friends. Iyong dalawang paintings na iyon ang napasama sa limang piece ko na napili sa bidding. Iyong iba, mga gawa ng mga kasama ko sa exhibit. Sabihin na nating malaki ang nawala sa bulsa ni Mommy sa paglaban sa ibang bidders sa partner paintings na iyon that I had to privately lend her half of the bid amount so she could cover it on the same day.”“How much did they sell? ‘Yung sa atin?”“I was planning to sell it at 150K.”Kumunot ag noo ko. “Gano’n ang presyuhan kapag paintings mo?”“US dollars.”Nahigit ko ang hinga ko. “What? So nag-bidding and how much ang offer?”“First offer sa online bidding was 300K. Yes… US dollars pa rin. Hindi lang mga Pilipino ang nasa group na iyon, baby. Collectors from all over the world.”Ramdam ko ang paglaki ng mga mata ko. Na-stretch

Jenna“Mommy?! Anong ginagawa mo rito?” nagawa kong masambit matapos ang ilang sandali habang tinatago na sobra akong dismayado. What the hell was she doing here?Sa halip na sumagot agad ay niyakap niya ako at hinalikan sa magkabilang pisngi. “I came here as soon as I heard na may exhibit ang boyfriend mo.” Pagkatapos ay tiningnan niya ako nang may paninisi sa mukha. “Do I have to learn this from your uncle, Jenna. I wanna let it go but Claud said he’s a really good painter and I wanna see his work. And I love them! I bought a couple. Is it true he’s a really good boy, as well. You did good, sweetie. I’m so happy for you!”Tumikhim ako para lang makasingit sa kanyang litanya, lalo’t nakakatawag na ng pansin ang mga sinasabi niya sa mga nasa malapit. She seemed so happy she hadn’t realized she was being so loud. “Ahm, thank you, mom. Sinong kasama mo? Did you come alone? How did you know to come here?”“With your aunt and uncle and a friend, whom I would like to introduce to you a b

JennaVALENTINE’S DAY.I wouldn’t miss Topher’s exhibit in the world.So, after carefully dressing myself up for him, I drove to where he was going to do his exhibit with his artist friends. And the venue was packed with art enthusiasts and curious folks. I had a special invitation, though, and I was so excited to see Topher’s work on display and quite apprehensive about our two paintings together. Syempre, nakamata rin ako sa paligid ko. Baka kasi totohanin ng mga katrabaho kong dumalo at magkita-kita kami kung saan ayokong makasama sila.Nang maging pamilyar sa akin ang ilang paintings, alam kong nakarating na ako sa spot kung saan naroroon ang mga gawa ni Topher. Mas maraming tao roon at alam kong hindi lang dahil magaling siya kundi dahil isa siya sa mga featured painters. Kahit hindi masyadong alam sa work ang kanyang isa pang karera ay marami siyang followers sa art world.Hinahanap ko siya nang pasimple. Oo, alam na ng mga katrabaho namin ang tungkol sa amin pero hindi pa kam
