He cross the gap of our lips and then kiss me roughly. I tried to push him but he's too strong. Is he gonna rape me.
"B-Bitawan mo ako!" I shouted when I finally took the chance but he pulled me again ang our lips collided.He's touching me everywhere at kunti nalang talaga at iiyak na ako. I tried to resist so hard pero mas lalo lang siyang naging malakas at ako naman ay nagsimula na ring manghina.I realized that he's not gonna stop not unless he gets what he wants. He wants to be satisfied and right now, I can't give it to him so he is forcing me and that is sexual harrasment. I can sue him for this.But I don't give up that easily...I thought all hopes were gone when I thought of something. Hindi ko ipinanganak para magpapatalo. Hindi lang ako si Ava na isang katulong, I am Ava Lee. The only daughter of Edward Lee. Strong and independent. I can't let a Timothee Chandler win over me.Pumikit ako nang mariin at kinalma yung sarili. Be natural, Ava. He wants pleasure? Then give it to him.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kiss him back. I reciprocate his roughness. Napahinto siya nang halikan ko siya pabalik so he pulled himself."Anong ginagawa mo?" He asked.Hindi ko siya sinagot. I pulled his nape instead ng kiss him hungrily. Earlier he kissed another girl and now I'm kissing him. Ironic.Tinugunan niya yung halik at mas lalo siyang naging mapusok. Hinawakan niya yung pwet ko at minasahe. I let out a soft moan. Bumaba yung halik niya sa leeg ko at s******p."Ugh... S-Sir," I moaned his name."I told you to moan my name," he whispered and then kissed me on the lips again. "Moan my name woman!" He said and then spank me on my butt.Napapikit ako nang mariin. Damn!Napakabastos! Suot ko pa naman yung damit ko pero pakiramdam ko ay hinuhubaran na niya ako. Kung gusto ko mang makipagtalik ay ayokong ako yung nasa baba. I don't want to be submissive pero wala akong choice. Kagat-labi kong dinaramdam yung paghalik niya sa leeg ko."Timothee..." I moaned."Yes, baby. Louder!"Nanlaki ng aking mga mata nang hawakan niya yung dalawa kong dibdib. He did not just cup my breasts. Sht! I need to be quick."Ugh... Timothee!" I moaned. "More!"With that I pulled him down and I went over him. Gulat niya akong tiningnan habang ko naman ay nginisihan lang siya. Sorry, Timothee. I think tama namang turuan ka ng leksyon."What are you doing?" Tanong niya."Ako na bahala, sir. Paliligayahin ko po kayo," I said.I inch our gap and kiss him on the lips. I slip my tongue inside his mouth and a moan escaped his lips. That's it.Bumaba ang halik ko sa kanya sa leeg at gaya nang ginawa niya sa akin ay sinigurado kong mag-iiwan ito ng marka. My playful hand went down his pants and unzipped his pants."Yes," he moaned. "Down there baby."Napangisi ako. I teased him by touching his crotch and then took my hands again."Fvck baby! Hold it! I want your hands holding it!" Utos niya na mas lalo kong ikinangisi. Libog na libog na talaga siya ano?I didn't remove his underwear for I don't want to see what he is hiding. Mula sa ilalim ng kama, I secretly reached for my bag and took the scissor out as quiet as possible. Matagumpay naman yung pagkuha ng gunting kaya agad ko itong itinutok sa pagkalalaki niya."What size do you want your hotdog sir? Keep it jumbo or you want cocktail?" I asked.Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata at agad lumayo sa akin. "What the fvck are you doing?!" Sigaw niya at tinakpan yung ari niya."Serving you your early dinner! Maliit lang kasi kinain mong pandesal kanina kaya naisip ko na baka nagugutom ka pa," I said with a grin on my face."Are you crazy? Talaga bang puputulin mo yung junior ko? Paano na yung magiging anak ko?!" Sigaw niya."Edi good bye. Wala kasing magandang naidudulot kung puro kalibugan lang yung nasa isip niyo, Sir. Mas mabuti pa't putulin para hindi na kayo makapagbigay ng problema sa Dad niyo. Narinig ko na ikakasal ka na daw pero may iba-iba ka pa ring babae. Hindi naman po ata tama 'yun," I pointed out."You are out of that topic! Wala kang pake kung mambabae ako o hindi kasi buhay ko ito. Sino ka ba para pagsabihan ako ng ganyan?" Tanong niya.I stood up and played the scissors with my fingers. "Ako ay personal maid niyo lamang, Sir. Kahit ganito lang yung narating ko sa buhay ay hindi ibig sabihin na pwede niyo kong bastusin. Tao din ako at may karapatan. Kaya kong lumaban kaya huwag mo akong subukan," I said while glaring at him."You are fired! Lumayas ka sa pamamahay ko!"I rolled my eyes. "Daddy mo ang nagpapasweldo sa akin kaya Daddy mo lang ay may kapangyarihang isisante ako.""Well, you think you got away with your reasoning?" Ngisi niya. "Sasabihin ko pa rin kay Dad at tingnan lang natin kung sino yung pupulutin sa labas," maangas niyang sabi. "Crazy btch!"Kinuha niya mula sa sahig yung suot niyang shirt at agad nagbihis. I only stared at him as he still flashed that annoying grin on his lips. Akala niya natatakot ako? Poor Timothee.Nang tuluyan na siyang makalabas ay agad kong sinara yung pinto. Humiga ako sa kama at napatitig sa kisame. Did I just made out with my fiancé? Talaga bang tinugunan ko yung halik niya?Napahawak ako sa labi. That was my first kiss. I don't know where I learned to kiss like that. Mukhang nagustuhan niya because he started moaning.My cheeks burned when I remembered how I moaned his name while he touches me everywhere. Damn! Hindi yun pilit na ungol. I was seriously aroused when I started kissing him back. His lips were so soft against mine. I can still feel his tongue on my neck, his hands on my body and his moan in my head.I slapped myself.Anong nangyari sa'yo, Ava? Hindi ka dapat nakaramdam ng ganyan. Mataas pride natin! Keep it together, will you? Nandito tayo para makilala yung lalaking ikakasal sa iyo. Hindi para maging whore niya!Huminga ako nang malalim. Buti nalang hindi nawala sa isip ko yung objective. I managed to scare him away and not sexualize me, even though I found pleasure on it. Napakurap ako nang makaramdam ng basa down there. Shit! I better wash myself.The next day, we cooked for breakfast a little late than the first day. Dito kasi natulog si Sir Vincent at ang sabi ni Manang Abby na mas gusto daw ni Sir na mainit pa yung ulam. Yung kakahain pa lang."Ano po yung gusto niyong ulam, Sir? Gusto niyo po ba yung American Style na breakfast?" Tanong ni Manang Abby kay Sir Vincent."Mas gusto ko yung eggs lang. Bacon and hotdog," sagot ni Sir Vincent na may ngiti sa labi."Sige po. Ipagluluto ko po muna kayo."Binuksan ko yung refrigerator at kinuha yung mga kakailanganin. Easy lang naman ito since magpi-prito lang naman. Kukunin na sana ni Manang yung ingredients mula sa akin pero hindi ko ibinigay sa kanya."Ako na Manang.""Ako na," iling niya."Ako na po talaga. Kaya ko 'to," I insisted.Bumuntong-hininga siya saka tumango. "Sige. Ikaw bahala. Titingnan ko lang muna yung sinaing ko. Bibili nalang din muna ako ng asin."I nodded."Sige po."Nagpaalam muna si Manang Abby kay Sir Vincent bago humayo. Habang nagluluto ay ramdam ko yung titig ni Sir Vincent sa akin. Ramdam ko na may sasabihin siya kaya nagpresenta na ako kay manang na ako na ang magluto para maiwan niya kaming dalawa."You know how to cook?" Basag niya sa katahimikan.Tumango ako. "Yes, Mr. Chandler. Fortunately, I do know how to cook.""That's unexpected," ngiti niya. "When your Dad told me that you want to apply as our maid, nagdadalawang-isip pa akong pumayag. Hindi nababagay sa iyo ang utusan."I smirked. "Why not? May mga kamay at paa naman ako para gumawa ng gawaing bahay. I am rich but I am nit spoiled and a brat.""I'm sorry," iling niya. "I have this stereotype of rich people. I didn't know that people like you exist too.""Kaya ko naman. Bakit ko pa ipapagawa sa iba?" I said.Kinuha ko yung itlog at nagsimulang nagluto ng omellete. With my amazing knife skills, madali kong nahiwa yung mga ilalagay sa omellete. I felt his gazes but it didn't bother me.I waited for him to open up the topic that I expected him to say. Sinabi kaya ni Timothee sa ama niya yung nangyari kagabi? I wasn't able to sleep properly due to what happened. On second thought, baka hindi niya sinabi. Ayaw nga niyang malaman ng Dad niya na babaero siya, yung ginawa pa kaya niya kagabi? Although he might have told his father like what he said but the possibility is thin."How's Timothee? You may not say it pero alam kong pinaghirapan ka niya," putol niya sa katahimikan."To be honest, he's not likeable like I'd hope him to be," I said frankly.Napakurap siya. He rub his palms together showing how sorry he is. "Please give him a chance. Ganyan lang si Timothee pero alam kong mabait siyang bata. He's new to have a personal maid around him. Hindi lang siya sanay.""Don't worry. I'm not that harsh," I replied. "Gaya ng pangako ko kay Daddy, hahabain ko yung pasensya ko sa anak niyo kahit gusto ko ma siyang sakalin," I paused. "Before I forgot, please don't be too obvious that you know me for who I am. Kung itrato mo ako ay parang bisita. It could confuse everyone."Sobrang obvious niya. Obvious na gusto niyang maging komportable ako sa bahay niya. Ako yung maid at siya dapat yung tinatrato kong ganyan one wrong move and all of these will fail."I'm sorry. Sisiguraduhin ko sa susunod," he smiled. "And thank yoy for the patience you gave my son. Tama nga ang Daddy mo. You are an angel sent from above."Napahinto ako. He said that? Sinabi ni Dad na isa akong anghel?A curve formed on my lips as I started cooking the hotdog. Did my Dad just acknowledged me? Sobrang dami ko nang narinig na compliments mula sa ibang tao pero iba talaga kapag galing sa sariling ama. Ginagawa ng ibang ama iyan pero minsan lang si Dad. Sobrang gaan sa pakiramdam."What's for breakfast?" Bigla nalang pumasok sa kusina si Timothee. Nang makita ako ay sumimangot yung mukha niya at tumalikod."Hey! Where are you going?" Tanong ni Sir Vincent sa kanya."I'll go back to sleep.""Anong go back to sleep? Umupo ka. Let's eat our breakfast," pagpigil ng ama niya."Dad I--""Umupo ka," ma-otoridad na sabi ni Sir Vincent.Napatingala siya at bumuntong-hininga. Humarap siya sa amin at padabog na umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ng ama."What's for breakfast?" Walang gana niyang tanong.Nilagay ko sa plato yung naluto kong hotdog at inilapag sa harap niya."Cocktail hotdogs, sir," I smirked.Nanlaki ang kanyang mga mata saka niya ako sinamaan ng tingin. Sige lang, Timothee. Mainis ka sa akin."Rosie's gonna be coming over," rinig kong sabi ni Timothee sa ama.I am currently cleaning up the things I used when I cooked their breakfast. Pumintig yung tenga ko nang makarinig ng pangalan ng babae. Rosie? I never heard that name before. Hindi niya rin naibanggit mula nung namasukan ako. "Really? What time will she be here?" Sabik na tanong ni Sir Vincent.Tumaas yung kabila kong kilay. Mukhang may excited na makita yung babae. Hindi naman sa nagseselos ako but didn't it bother him that I can hear their conversation?Tinapos ko nalang muna yung pagliligpit and exited the kitchen. That Rosie girl did piqued my interest but not enough for me to stay longer to listen more. Mukhang marami pa akong gagawin. Sinundan ko si Manang Abby na balak na sanang magwalis sa gilid ng pool."Manang," tawag ko sa kanya. "Ano po yung maitutulong ko?"Hinarap niya ako at nilagay yung mga kamay sa beywang. "Personal maid ka ni Sir Timothee kaya dapat palagi kang nakabuntot sa kanya. Pero nand'yan na
"May lakad muna kami. Kayo na ang bahala sa bahay ha," lingon ni Mr. Chandler sa amin.Nasa bukana kami ng mansyon ni Manang habang papalabas naman sina Mr. Chandler, Timothee and Rosie. Masama pa rin yung tingin ng babae sa akin pero hindi ko ito pinansin. Si Timothee naman ay walang emosyon yung mukha. Who knows what's going on inside his head?"Sige po. Kami na po ang bahala ni Ava," sagot ni Manang at bahagyang yumuko.Nilipat ni Mr. Chandler yung tingin niya mula kay Manang papunta sa akin. "Aalis na kami," paalam niya at tumalikod.Gaya ni Manang ay bahagya din akong napayuko. Ramdam ko pa yung titig ni Rosie sa akin bago sumunod kay Mr. Chandler. Walang kibo naman si Timothee na sumunod sa ama. Tuluyan na silang nakapasok sa sasakyan at lumabas na ng mansyon. Agad akong nilingon ni Manang na nakahalukipkip."Anong ginawa mo kanina?" Istrikta niyang tanong.Sabi ko na nga ba. Hinding-hindi talaga ako makakalusot kay Manang. Well. Alam na siguro ng lahat na maldita ako."Pinagsab
I yawned as I tried to open my eyes. Sobrang aga pa. I tried to look for something that could keep me awake pero yung kape lang ang makita ko na nasa aking kamay at hindi naman effective. I still feel so sleepy after few sips. "Matulog ka nalang muna. Kaya ko na dito," sabi ni Kento na tumabi sa akin.Umiling ako. "Hindi na. Kailangan akong gising para kay Sir Timothee.""But you look so sleepy. Sige na. Take my offer," he slightly smiled. "Hindi naman bago sa akin ang ganito.""Okay lang talaga ako, Kento. Nahuli ako ni Sir kanina na naliligo sa pool. Deserve ko po ito," ngiti ko."Mainit yung panahon, Ava. Kung ako din naman iyon ay nagbabad na din ako sa pool. Lalo na't bagong linis.""Hindi ka naman kasambahay," I chuckled. "Yung mga taong kagaya ko ay hindi dapat ginagamit yung mga bagay na pagmamay-ari ng amo nila.""Nonsense. I wouldn't mind if our maid would do that.""Ang bait mo masyado," I smiled. "Sana kasing bait mo si Sir Timothee.""Bakit? Minamaltrato ka ba niya?" He
After what happened, hindi ko matingnan sa mata si Timothee. I literally lied low after that. Sa tuwing tinatawag niya ako ay nasa sahig lang yung mga mata ko. Wala naman akong ginawang masama pero ang awkward lang talaga. I only did what I was told and that was to kiss him. Trabaho lang naman din yung ginawa niya. Sabi nung photographer na to make it look like it's real, I have to kiss him on the lips. Yun ang ginawa niya pero ang big deal na para sa akin.The way he kissed me was different. Hindi ito mapusok. Heck, it wasn't even force nor wild. It was slow. Naramdaman ko yung malalambot niyang labi unlike how it was the first time. I got to feel it's softness. I did pushed him but I'm a bit unsure if I pushed him hard enough.The confusing part was why I was acting that way? Hindi ba dapat fierce ako. Dapat amazona. Yung tipong umaayaw kapag hinalikan nalang but damn I even liked it! What is happening to me?!"Hija, yung sinaing mo!" Biglang sigaw ni Manang Abby."Po?""Yung sinain
After a few seconds of staring at each other's eyes ay agad kong umiwas ng tingin. Gosh! Why do I feel hot all of the sudden. Kailangan ko nang umalis."Kento," I turned to my side."Hmm?""Pwede bang bumalik muna ako sa aking silid?"Kumunot yung noo niya. "Why? You just got here."Nahihiya akong ngumiti. "Kasi ilang oras lang yung tulog ko. Kailangan kong bumawi," I lied.Nagulat ako nang mas lumakas pa yung hiyawan ng mga kaibigan nila. I look back at Timothee at nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang paibabwan na niya yung babae. He's kissing her hungrily and the girl did the same."Timothee!" Sita ni Rosie pero hindi ito nakinig sa kanya."You know what? You're right. Mas mabuti pa't magpahinga ka nalang muna. I don't want you to get influence with these naughty b*stards," sabi ni Kento at tinulungan niya akong tumayo. "Ihatid na kita.""Hindi na," iling ko. "Sobrang lapit na o.""Sure ka?" I chuckled. "Oo."He smiled. "Sige. Good night, Ava.""Good night, Kento," I smiled at him befor
“Good morning, Ava!” masiglang bati ni Kento pagkalabas ko ng mansyon.“Good morning,” I smiled back at him.Ngayong araw ay nakalaan ang pagpunta namin sa beach resort. Ang sabi ay may shoot si Timothee. It is going to be a long shoot kasi may mga video shoots pa daw for endorsements. We will be staying there for a couple of days kaya medyo marami nga yung mga dinadala naming bags. I was gonna use the sack bag that I brought with me pero pinigilan ako ni Manang Abby. She said that mahihirapan daw akong magdala ng mga ito kaya pinahiram niya ako ng maleta.Timothee, on the other hand, looks like he’s gonna be there for a few months. Parang babae kung mag-empake. I cannot blame him though. Marami siguro siyang dinalang damit para pambihis. He’s a model so mapili talaga siya sa mga sinusuot niya.Nasa labas na kami ng mansyon, hinihintay si Kento for the ride. Of course he’s coming since siya naman yung manager. When he got out from the car, he beamed that cute smile of his. Imbes badtr
Eating away from the people, I can feel Timothee’s stares. Gusto ko lang namang mag-enjoy habang nandito pa kami. He can do everything he wants basta huwag lang niya akong guluhin. After failing to shoo me away ay bumalik siya sa inuupuan niya kanina lang at kasama niya ulit yung mga babae. But still, I can feel his stares, well, more like glares.Lumingon ako sa direksyon niya at tama nga yung hinala ko. Ang sama nang tingin niya sa akin. He didn’t put attention on the girls who’s trying their best to sweep him off his feet. Umirap ako at patuloy na sa pagkain ng aking order.“Hi, Miss,” may biglang umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa harap ko.Kumunot yung noo ko. He’s familiar. I recognized him when he raised his camera.“Oh, hi!” I greeted back.“Are you alone? Do you mind if I join you?” he asked.Umiling ako. “Not at all. Please,” turo ko sa upuan.“Napansin ko na kanina ka pa mag-isa. Did you come here alone?” he asked.“Hindi. May mga kasama ako but they are kinda’ busy,” I replied.“
Nakaupo na ang dalawa sa dining table habang isa-isa kong nilapag yung hapunan. Tahimik lang silang dalawa at ako naman ay naiilang na. Matapos kong maihanda yung hapunan ay agad akong nagpaalam sa kanila."Pakabusog po kayo," I slightly bow my head and turned around."Aren't you gonna eat with us?" Napahinto ako nang magsalita si Kento.Umiling ako at bahagyang ngumiti. "Hindi na po. Katulong lang po ako at hindi nararapat na sumasabay ako sa inyong kumain.""Nonsense," iling niya. "Come join us. Kapag magkasama tayo ay hindi ka katulong. Kaibigan ka namin," he paused to turn to Timothee. "Diba, Tim?"Tumaas ang magkabilang kilay ni Timothee. "She's not my friend, dude. She's my maid. There's a difference-- ow!"Kento may have stepped on his foot for him to shout like that."Kaibigan natin siya, diba?" Pinanglakihan ni Kento ng mata ang kaibigan."Oo na! Oo na! Kaibigan na nga natin," he then faced me. "Umupo ka na nga! Kakain na tayo," nguso niya at bumalik sa pagkain.Nagdadalawang
"Happy Birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday our Ava~ Happy Birthday to you!"Everyone clapped their hands after I blew the candle. It's my 25th birthday at kasama mo ang buong pamilya. Sina Daddy, Mommy, Tito Diego, Peter, and Sofia. Kasama ko din si Timothee, his Dad Tito Vincent and her mother, Manang Abby. Nasa isang beach resort kami at sinadya kong dito kami kasi naaalala ko na nangako ako sa sarili na dalhin si Manang Abby dito as this is one of her dreams.After Timothee told the world about our relationship, the media keeps on tailing me. I became one of the most recent searches in the country. Inuungkat nila yung buhay ko later found out that I am a businessman's daughter. Nalaman din nila yung clothing line ko. Akala ko ib-boycott nila business ko pero sa katunayan mas marami pa akong naging customers.It was hard for the people to accept the fact that Timothee is courting me. Pati 'yung company na naghandle kay Timothee ay hindi inaa
Timothee and I stayed inside their hotel room. Hindi pa kasi bumalik si Kento and Timothee insisted for me to stay. I couldn't say no matapos niyang sabihin na magc-cuddle kami. It's something that I need right now. Nakayakap ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nilalaro ang buhok ko habang nakahiga. "Ava," he called."Yes?""I've been meaning to tell you something," sabi niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at nilingon siya. "Ano 'yun?""Ano kasi. I don't want to keep secrets from you and I am getting more guilty as time goes by," he said.Nagsimula na akong kabahan. Is it something that would upset me? Kaya ko bang magalit kay Timothee? He's the only person I have left and when I feel betrayed by him, kanina nalang ako tatakbo? Sino ang natira para sa akin?"Say it."He sighed. "I'm sorry but I've been in contact with your parents."Napakurap ako. "Since when?""Since yesterday," kamot niya sa ulo. "They know where we are. Alam nila na sa akin ka lalapit. Your Dad knows kasi na nililigawan kita
Lumapit ako sa kanya at ganun pa rin 'yung tingin niya sa akin. I decided to get a lipstick that would look natural on his lips. I took a brush para sana lagyan siya ng lipstick sa labi pero umiwas siya.I sighed. "Timothee...""Anong pinag-uusapan niyo ni Kento? Did your little crush on him came back now that you see him after a long time?" Tanong niya.Hindi nga ako nagkakamali. Nagseselos nga siya. I saw it coming."Hindi," iling ko. "I was apologizing for fooling him as well.""Bakit siya nakangiti sa'yo?""Turns out alam na niyang nagpapanggap lang ako noon pa," iling ko. "Now I understand why he's always been so understanding to me before.""Psh. Mas understanding pa ako," he whispered but I heard him anyway.I smiled. "So, can I put on your lipstick now?"Umiling siya. "Doon ka sa Kento mo.""Timothee naman. Let's not fight, okay? Maraming naghihintay sa'yo," I said.Hindi siya sumagot. His face is facing on the other side as if ignoring everything that I just said. Alam ko nam
"Ava," I heard someone calling my name softly.Hindi ko pinansin ang boses na 'yun. I am sleeping comfortably in a soft bed. Dala siguro sa pagod kaya ako nakatulog agad. I remember after dinner, I felt so sleepy that I instantly fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.After kong pinakilala kay Rosie and sarili ko, in a harsh way, Tito Vincent told us to eat instead of roasting each other. Of course nag-sorry naman ako agad. Ang bastos kaya nun sa harap ni Tito Vincent. Hindi na siguro kami magkakabati ni Rosie. Hindi naman din akong umasa na magustuhan niya ako. Well, kung ano 'yung ipapakita niya sa akin edi yun din ang ipapakita ko sa kanya."Ava," I heard it again.I groaned and turn to the side, away from the voice. Ayoko munang bumangon. Nagulat nalang ako nang may malambot na bagay na dumampi sa labi ko. Iminulat ko ang aking mga mata at doon ko nakita si Timothee na nakangisi."Halik lang pala ang makakagising sa iyo," he said.Nanlaki ang aking mga mata at napaatras habang
"Paano ko malalaman kung nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo? Nakita ko kung paano umiyak si Timothee. Hindi ko akalaing makikita ko siya nang ganun," Manang said as tears started forming in her eyes. "Kung pwede ko lang akuin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya ay ginawa ko na.""I'm sorry," yuko ko.Hindi ko na alam kung ano 'yung sasabihin. Saying sorry was what I think is the best thing to say. "Bakit ka sa akin nagso-sorry?"Huminga ako nang malalim. "Kasi alam kong nasaktan ka din na makitang ganun si Timothee." I paused. "Timothee and I settled our differences. Okay na po kami ngayon. We promised to be honest from now on at hindi ko na po siya sasaktan."She sighed. "Nakita ko kung gaano kalaki ang mga ngiti niya kamakailan. Siguro dahil din sa'yo," she said, looking at me. "Kapag narinig kong sinaksaktan mo ulit siya, huwag kang magpapakita sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko sa'yo."Bahagya akong yumuko. "Hinding-hindi na po 'yun mangyayari."She stared at me one last time befo
"Okay lang talaga?" I asked Timothee as I parked my car in front of their mansion.Sinabi ko sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin sina Mommy. After everything I knew, hindi ko na alam kung paano sila tratuhin. I'm scared of avoiding them kasi ayaw ko din silang saktan. Timothee told me that I can stay in their house. I was hesitant syempre. How can I come back in that house matapos ko siyang lokohin sa ilang buwan kong pananatili doon. It would remind me of everything I've done."Ava, I thought that we left the past behind us?" He faced me."I'm sorry. I still feel ashamed of what I did.""Stop it," seryosong sabi niya. "Let's not talk about it, okay? Tapos na 'yun Ava. I forgave you already."I nodded. "Okay."Pumasok na kami ni Timothee sa loob ng mansyon at halos walang pinagbago. Nandun pa rin 'yung mga bulaklak na minsan kong dinidiligan araw-araw. The front lawn is still as wide as ever. I bit my lower lip as we get closer to the entrance. Nakakakaba. Alam ko naman na
I stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do. Timothee was stunned as I am."Sige 'yan!" Sigaw nung photographer. "Kiss her Timothee!"I bit my lower lip as tears continued crawling down my cheeks. Nanghihina na ang mga tuhod ko. Timothee immediately pulled himself off."What are you doing?!" He asked his partner."What? 'Yun ang gusto nila. Isn't it our job to do what the client wants," sagot nung babae."Timothee ano ba?!" Sigaw nung photographer. "We almost got the shot. What is wrong with you?!" He paused and faced the woman behind me which I assumed as the client. "I'm really sorry about that. I will make sure that we give you the shot that you want.""You better. Ano bang nangyari kay Chandler?" Tanong nung babae. "It's your job to model."Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Timothee and as if on cue, our eyes met. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata and all I could do was to smile forcefully with tears in my eyes."Ava," he mouthed.Umiling ako at tumalikod. I walked away kasi alam kong Timothe
"I have a shoot today."'Yan ang huli kong narinig mula kay Timothee. Pagkagising ko pa lang ay siya na agad ang hinahanap ko. The reason? Hindi ko din alam. I called him the moment I woke up. Ilang rings pa bago niya sinagot 'yung phone. Base sa boses niya ay parang nagmamadali. He said may shoot siya ngayon. I sometimes forget that he's a model.Napag-isipan ko na surpresahin siya. Alam ko naman kung saan sa kadalasang nagsho-shoot kaya hindi na ako mababaliw kakahanap sa kanya. Agad akong bumangon at dumiretso sa banyo. I took a bath and then brush my teeth. Matapos kong magbihis ay dumiretso ako sa baba kung saan naabutan ko sina Mommy at Daddy na nag-uusap sa kusina. Kumunot 'yung noo ko. Bakit silang dalawa lang? Natutulog pa kaya sina Tito Diego.Out of curiosity, sumilip ako at pinakinggan ang kanilang pinag-usapan. It was suspiscious enough that they are talking privately."I'm sorry about what happened last night, Adam. Nadulas ako. Excited lang ako na makita si Timothee.
I bit my lip as I dialed Timothee's number. Alam kong magugulat siya o maguguluhan kapag sinabi kong dito nalang siya maghapunan. Hindi naman nagtagal ay sinagot na ni Timothee yung tawag."What took you so long to call me?" Bungad niya.Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ngayon alam kong nakanguso siya."Unexpected things happen," I smiled kahit hindi naman niya kita."Nakausap mo na Daddy mo?" Tanong niya. "Is everything okay?"Umiling ako. "Hindi. Hindi ko nakausap si Daddy." I paused. "Ano, Timothee. Kumain ka na ba?""Hindi pa ako kumain. Bababa na sana para kumain," he chuckled. "Concern ka sa akin no?""Sira!" I giggled. "I'm inviting you kase. Dito ka na kumain."There was a long pause. Paniguradong naguguluhan siya sa biglaan kong pagkasabi. If he'd ask me the same, panigurdong maguguluhan din ako."What's the occassion?" Tanong niya.I sighed. "Gusto kang makilala nina Mommy. Dad told them that I had a date with you kaya ganun nalang sila ka-curious sa'yo."I'm gonna meet your fam
