Napalayo naman ako sa kaniya. "What? Is she talking about literally flowers that need to be gardened?"
"Yeah?""Then, why would she kiss your cheeks?""Because it is how the French greet everyone?"Napanganga ako. "Why would she call you babe, then?""Natawa siya at hinawakan ang kamay ko. "Baby, she's gay. She calls everyone like that.""What? There's no way, Ismael!""Yes way, baby. I'm telling the truth.""Then, does it mean I don't really have a valid reason to be jealous?""Yeah?" Fuck. Kaya pala hiwagang-hiwaga siya kung bakit bigla akong nagkatopak kanina. Shit. This is so embarrassing! I got jealous of someone who has no pussy! I was deceived because she has bigger boobs than mine. I was drowning in jealousy and felt a big insecurity that, first of all, I didn't have any reason to have.I stood up. I have n"N-no, I was just trying it on. Let me go. I was supposed to dry my hair.""There's no need. I like it wet," komento niya. "Where are you going?""Here in the b-bathroom," kinakabahan kong sagot."Alright. We'll do it in the bathroom.""W-what? No! Aren't we supposed to eat our dinner?"He chuckled. "Your no means yes to me, and yes, we're going to eat our dinner." Nagulat ako nang maglakad siya papasok ng banyo at iniharap ako sa salamin. "I knew it. You lied when you said you did not like to wear this type of clothing, yet here you are buying one and attempting to fit into it while I am away. You're so selfish."
"How are you so beautiful?" he whispered while touching my chin. Nilingon ko siya para abutin ang mga labi niya. Our tongues play with each other. This is so fucking good. I can feel how erotic we can be right now and I can't help but be amused by how Ismael is tonight. From the moment I saw him on the door, it was proof that no one can make him put down food except for me because I tasted more delicious than them.He keeps rubbing on me. It was I who decided to touch him and insert it in me. Siya ang napaungol dahil sa ginawa ko. "Ugghh...You're so naughty."Hindi niya naman iyon tinanggal at ipinagpatuloy ang pagpasok sa loob ko. Nagulat ako nang hawakan niya ang hita ko para buhatin."I-Ismael! W-what are you doing?!" naghuhurumentado kong tanong.
I was so shocked, but good thing it was already nighttime, kaya I doubt na may makakakita sa amin. "Ismael, baka mahulog ako!" sambit ko nang isandal niya ako sa may malapad na railings."Isn't it thrilling?" bulongniya, habang patuloy akong tinatrabaho."B-but—!" Inilagay niya ang daliri niya sa bibig ko."Shut up and feel it."Hinalikan niya ang dibdib ko. He keeps on pumping his side inside my smooth flesh, building tension that is a sign that I'm about to cum again."Ismael, wait! I feel like I'm going to pee!" I screamed."Then, pee. Let me witness it."
Lumipas nang mabilis ang araw namin sa Europe. We also visited different perfume brands and researched the ingredients they used that we could incorporate into our future products. I also made sure that I used every single thing that Ismael bought for me. I look like an expensive woman because of the designer bags and dresses I am wearing. Walang humpay tuloy ang pagsulyap sa akin ng mga tao. Lalo na si Ismael na kitang-kita ko ang pagkamangha sa kaniyang mga mata tuwing tinitingnan niya ako. Para talagang baliw. I am not used to it but somehow I feel like my confidence has boosted. Hindi naman din pala masamang kahit minsan ay maranasan ko ito as long as hindi lalaki ang ulo ko at madadala ng pera. We were holding hands when we went to a restaurant. Nabalitaan kasi ni Sav na narito kami ni Ismael sa France, kaya bumyahe siya mula Italy sakay ng train papunta rito para makita kaming dalawa. "T
Maya-maya lang ay dumating na ang pagkain namin for dinner. Grabe, hindi ako makapaniwalang huling gabi na namin ni Ismael dito at bukas ay uuwi na kami sa Pilipinas. Totoong nag-enjoy ako sa trip na ito dahil bukod sa marami kaming napuntahang magkasama, nagkita pa kami ni Savannah. We were in the middle of eating when my phone was notified. Hindi ko sana kukunin dahil masyado akong abala sa pagkain ng masarap na beef steak nang makita ko ang pangalan ni Joth sa screen. I immediately picked up my phone to check his message and I was too stunned to speak when I read it. "Why? What happened?" tanong ni Ismael na siyang nasa harapan ko. Si Savannah naman ay nakaupo sa tabi ko at napahinto rin sa pagkain para tumingin sa akin. Tumunghay ako para salubungin ang mga mata nila. "The ring you gave me was in Roxsielle's possession," nanginginig an
I glanced at her. Of course, she will know. She had feelings for him a long time ago. Thank God, narito siya mas lalong nagiging malinaw sa akin ang lahat. Three brains are better than two or one. Biglang bumalik sa isipan ko ang narinig ko kay Ismael at kay Mr. Tory noon—ang pag-uusap nila tungkol sa half-sister ni Raviel. Ibig sabihin, si Roxsielle ang tinutukoy nila? "Hold on, I also saw Roxsielle coming out from a jewelry store when I went to Safira to file my vacation leave. That time I saw her going to a familiar black car." I closed my eyes and tried to remember where the hell I saw that car. "Ferrari?" sabat ni Ismael. Umiling ako. "I don't really know car brands, Ismael, but it is like the one you owned but in gray." "Nope, I own a Bugatti, not a Ferrari." Napanganga nam
Hinaplos ni Ismael ang ulo ko. Kasalukuyan akong nakahiga sa may dibdib niya habang siya nama'y nakayakap sa akin. Narito kami sa kama at kapwa hindi makatulog. "Ismael..." pagtawag ko sa kaniya. "Hmm?" tanong niya habang pinaglalaruan ang buhok ko. "How can we stop this?" Nilingon ko siya. "Don't worry too much. Mr. Tory and I are handling the issue with Raviel," saad niya. "Pero hindi ako matatahimik hangga't hindi ko nalalaman kung bakit niya ginagawa ito at bakit kasabwat niya pa si Roxsielle? Paano kung may mangyari din sa kapatid kong si Joth lalo na sa mga anak niya?" I heard him exhale. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Umiling ako. "No, Ismael. From what I see, hindi lang sa 'yo may galit si Raviel, kundi pati sa pamilya ko. Lalo na't idinadamay niya si Roxsielle. Pakiramdam ko, may dahilan ang lahat. Pakiramd
"Then will you marry me?"May kinuha siya sa bulsa niya na naging dahilan ng malakas kong paghikbi—isang itim na maliit na kahon. Napabangon ako dahil sa gulat. How can he do this to me? I am not prepared for this.He stood up from the bed and knelt down on the floor. My breathing became shallow as my tears flowed hard on my cheeks. Hindi ako makapagsalita dahil sa pagkamangha. I am only looking at him but seeing him kneel before me brings my whole being to outer space. It was as if we weren't in a room but in a universe full of stars, like it was his backup and he commanded every one of them to write and form a 'will you marry me?' phrase and meteorites showering us with beautiful lights and wishful dreams as if they were the fireworks prepared.He opened the box for me and what welcomed me was a diamond ring. "I would like to fully take responsibility for you, Jothea, and fulfill every promise I made. Would you do the honor and be my Mrs. Mondalla?"
