CHAPTER 3
COMPANY OPENING, today is where she celebrate with Trevor as the Exclusive Publishing had opened and now finally to open it for all the newly authors who wanted to show their talents into the world. That's the reason of opening it since Philippines had the writers who wanted to show their writing skills and how their imaginations actually works at syempre kailangan dadalan ang bagong kumpaniya sa tradisyong lahat ay ginagawa para mapanatiling maayos ang pag unlad ng isang kumpaniya o bahay, kasama ang mga bisitang inasahang dadalo.
Macaroons for the guest who came as sign of thankful, hindi naman kalayuan natanaw niya si Migo na nakatayo sa labas ng building nakangiting nagtaas ng kamay sakaniya hindi niya pa alam kung lalakad ba siya patungo dito, pupuntahan niya ba si migo dahil sa nararamdaman ni Trevor ayaw niyang inaultuhin si Trevor, baka mas masaktan ito.
But she want to walk towards him, She saw how he smiled at her and she couldn't stop staring him.
Then migo came and hold her shoulders. "Hey, you shouldn't keep your guest waiting for you standing up outside. Don't worry about me, I'll take care the guest then you.. Go ahead, have fun with your love."
Magsasalita pa sana siya ng pigilan naman siya agad ni Trevor. "You came here for him and don't let things bother you and about my feelings? Don't worry, I'm fine. You came here to have fun and to meet him, I know you're suffering he can't remember you and the at-lease i can do is let you be happy."
Ngumiti siya na yakapin pa ito, she can't really tell how proud of having a friend like him na kaya siyang intindihin sa lahat ng bagay. He's the only one that understands her being in love with someone else kahit na may pagtingin pa ito sakaniya, he didn't want to be selfish and just want her for his own.
Trevor is a friend that she can relay on.
"Thank you, Trevor.." Bulong niya habang magka-yakap silang dalawa at humalik ito sa kaniyang noo na bumitaw narin sakaniya. "If you love someone, You will let her happy with who makes them happy."
Tumingin siya dito. "Even It could hurt you?" Tanong niya dito. "Pain is nothing compare a happiness."
Napangiti nalang siya at humawak sa mukha nito, then she left to go to Migo but when she look back he's already gone kaya madali niyang hinanap si Migo sa parking and she found an angry migo kicking the side of his car, napailing pa siya na nilapitan ito. Pinamewangan niya pa ito.
"What are you doing?" Lumingon ito sakaniya at tumigil sa ginagawa maayos na tumayo sakaniya. Maybe he's curious why she's here? "Why don't you stay, Trevor might be get jealous of me."
Nagseselos ba siya? "Are you jealous?" Ngingiti ngiti pa siya pero bigla nalang umiwas si Migo sakaniya, alam niya na kapag nagseselos si migo kaya naman hindi nito maitatago iyon. He might change but those things won't. "Why would I get jealous of him? Sino ba siya at sino ba ako?"
Pinigilan niyang tumawa. "He's not my boyfriend, he just telling me to come over to you. Sinabi niya rin sakin na wala ng mas mahalaga sakaniya kundi ang kung anong magpapasaya sakin, Which makes me proud of him. I actually never expected that."
"Wala naman akong karapatan na mag selos, hindi ba? I'm just a man who want to meet you. Isang taong gusto kang mas makilala, that's all. Wala naman ring rason para mag selos ako, wala naman tayong relasyon na dalawa. We just met, right?"
Natawa naman siya. "What's funny?" Tanong nito at umiling lang siya bago niya nakita ang sasakyan sa likuran nito. It was a expensive Mercedes Benz AMG Vision GT. Never niya nakita ang sasakyan na ito noon sa garahe ni Migo. Maybe he bought this when she left? Siguro nga. This car is a monster! "Is that your car?" Tanong naman niya.
"Uhm, Have you eaten already?" Tumingin ito sakaniya na hindi alam ang dapat na isagot sakaniya kaya hindi niya naiwasan na pigilan ang tawa niya. "Are you asking me for a date, woman?" Mukhang naintindihan niya naman iyon agad.
Hindi naman talaga totally date ang inaalok niya, she was asking to eat dahil hindi pa siya kumakain and he seems like na pinuntahan siya ng hindi kumakain. Feeling lang naman niya at mukhang tama lang naman siya na pinuntahan nga siya ni Migo and he wasn't able to take his lunch.
She couldn't even stop on being amaze at the car, She know this car and It was one expensive and cool car. Cool for a guy like him, Imagine a rich man driving this AMG Vision than having a sports car?
Totally cool!
Ngumiwi siya. "You have a cool car.." Sumulyap pa ito saglit sakaniya at nginisian lang siya. "Have you ever had sex in here?" She interestedly asked.
Mas nakakagulat ng bigla nalang itong pumreno halos masubsob pa siya kaya naman napasigaw nalang siya bigla at tumingin kay Migo.
"Watch out!"
"Sorry.."
Tumingin ito sakaniya. "Nagulat kasi ako sa tanong mo, bakit ganiyan ang tanong mo sa akin?" She just ask if he already had sex in the car and knowing him akala niya hindi ito magrereact. Seems he really get surprised. "Wala naman, curious lang talaga ako kung nakipag sex ka na dito sa kotse mo?"
Nagmaneho ito at sumagot. "I told you, I never had sex to anyone. Wala akong babae na dinadala sa bahay o sinesex. Nah, I can't find who fit with me."
"Is that so?" Tumaas ang kilay niya. Siguro nga wala talaga noon, but now? Definitely that would change, may gusto siyang gawin and she doesn't know if she can even resist it if ever. She wanted to seduce him, gusto niya subukang akitin si Migo. "A lot of woman came and giving their body to me. But I refused, I always refused. Ayoko kasi, I don't like them especially a hostess or even a prostitute."
He gasped. "It's not I don't like to date. I just can't find the woman for me that woman who sees me as me not like my uncle who sees me as his toy that would give him money. Ayoko na tingin sa akin ay mahuhuthutan ng pera. A lot of woman came and that's what they want. That's why I didn't date anymore and I don't and never had a sex life in three years which makes me feel bad about myself. Look at me, A healthy men without a sex life."
Lumungkot ang mukha nito, nakarating sila sa restaurant para kumain at nabawasan naman ang lungkot nito mula sa kanina nagawa niyang pagaanin ang loob ni Migo.
At-lease he wouldn't think about his own sex life, natatawa nalang siya. "How come to ask me for lunch, I mean..." Tumingin siya kay Migo.
Naisipan lang naman talaga niya. "I thought you want to know me more? Get to know me?"
He smirks. "So, we are in getting to know each other stage? Are we even starting dating now?"
Bigla siyang natawa. He is definitely fast, Ngumiwi siya at tinignan ito. "That's fast but we are in that getting to know since gusto mo ako makilala hindi ba? This is it. I'm showing it to you and you have to show yourself to me too." That was double meaning pero hindi naman nito siguro maisip na tila para bang dalawa ang kahulugan. Her mind is twisting that word is seems to double meaning.
"Show.. myself?"
Kumunot ang noo nito halos manlaki ang kaniyang mga nata and her fingers were moving into the air and telling him no. "Oh.. no, no, no not that. I mean, showing the true you. That's what I meant.."
Embarrassed.
She saw him laugh.
Tila ba napangiti nalang siya, those lips form a smile and him laughing. Hindi maitatago, She missed him so much and she want to cry that missing him is almost her death. Hindi niya alam anong gagawin niya and losing him is the hardest thing she ever had but she didn't had a choice then and now, she have a choice to live and love him again—
she's loving him.
Alam niyang mahirap pero gagawin niya talaga 'to dahil sa pagmamahal niya, gusto niyang maibalik ang lahat lalo na ang asawa niya.
That.. past, the memories she have with him na nawala sa minamahal niya gusto niyang ibalik at ipaalala sakaniya ang pagmamahal na ibinigay niya noon, gusto niya iparamdam kung gaano ba niya kamahal si Migo. Gagawin niya iyon and maybe slowly, but she will do that not for herself but for him to remember everything.
"Vera?" Marahan siyang nagulat ng maramdaman ang kamay ni Migo sa kaniyang kamay kaya tinignan niya ito sa blankong mukha. "H-ha?"
She doesn't even know what's happening right now, at-lease that she went blank right away thinking. "I was asking you if you want to go somewhere?" Oh.
"It's fine, can we take some ice cream?" Pati si migo napatingin sa isang ice cream parlour at tinanguan siya. Naglalakad at kumakain ng ice cream habang parehas na naguusap tungkol sa sarili to guess that this probably the start? Start of their.. well.
Mahina siyang ngumiti. "You have no girl, no sex life, never ever date.." Binibilang niya sa daliri ang mga halos wala kay Migo at ikinatawa sakaniya ng binata na pinipigilan ang daliri niya na magbilang sa mga bawal sinasabi nito sakaniya. "Are you sure you don't have sex life?" Tanong niya naman dito.
He's embarrassed with the question. "Don't make me feel embarrassed. You asked so awkward."
"Sorry. I'm a curious person, curious about you. Sorry kung masyadong hindi kumportable ang tanong ko, woman always curious with a men's sex life just for safety to make sure men doesn't get sick from having sex with other woman." Aniya.
Halos mabuga nito ang kapeng iniinom. "Woah, woah! Woman! I don't have HIV if that's what you meant and telling you I didn't have sex with woman for the last three years since my accident. But yeah, I do masturbate, watch porn for my own needs."
She grinned, kapansin pansin naman na hiyang hiya ito sa sarili sa mga salitang binitiwan niya ay nahihiya siya sa pagkalalake niya na tila ba magiisip siya ng isa siyang lalakeng bastos at nagagawa niyang magsarili ng nanonood ng porn? Nah.
That's sexy, I wonder...
Napailing siya bigla. "You know, another doctor says that If my brain had a brain hemorrhage and a bleeding. I could go comatose again, hopefully if meron 'man akong naiwan na hindi maalala makita at maalala ko na siya bago pa ako mamatay—"
"Hey!" Suway niya agad dito, hindi niya nagustuhan iyon na ganun nalang kababa tingin niya sa sarili para maisip na mamatay siya ng hindi nakikilala ang taong nawala sa ala-ala niya? "I was just saying this, I knew pollux had secret every check up.. back then, wala siyang sinasabi sa akin about my past. I know there is something that he can't tell me, ayaw rin naman sabihin nila Rifle sa akin. They keep saying this words to me, It's better If I wouldn't know."
It's about me. "Pollux says, one day sasabihin namin sayo for now enjoy your life like a teenage boy who wants to have a sex with a four women. You have to enjoy like without or with the memories." Marahan siyang natawa dahil ginaya nito ang kilos at pananalita ng kaibigang si pollux. "Maybe he's right."
"You have to act and enjoy your own life now. Me, Uhm. Maybe I could help you out with that?"
Tumingin ito sakaniya. "And how will you even help me for my situation are so critical. Umpisahan natin kay uncle, alam mo kung kilala mo ang umcle ko, maisip mo talaga na mahirap he will do everything to get rid of who's trying to block his way. I'm trying to work with that right now because I had to do it or else, He will go and victim another people again."
"Your uncle, Mark Bourne?" Napatingin ito sakaniya na gulat na gulat. Everyone knows his uncle as a businessman kuno hindi naman talaga business-man, marami rin nabiktima ang uncle niya. "Yeah, I know your uncle and his doing actually.."
Napatigil ito sakaniya. "You know?" Lahat naman ata alam ang ginagawa ng uncle niya, nagsusugal ang uncle niya plus maraming niloko dahil sa pera na gusto niya makuha, in the passed three years those information goes bigger enough para makarating pa ng canada. "Everyone knows it, That's your uncle."
Marahan siyang tumawa. "Right, my uncle is a jerk na nakikipag kaibigan para sa pera. Yeah yeah, minsan iniisip ko sino ba talaga ang anak sakanila ni lolo? Is it my father or them? My dad is far different." Agreed. "Let's change this topic, shall we?"
After that moment and that day, Ihinatid siya agad ni migo sa tinutuluyan niyang condominium and offer some drinks dumaretso siyang kwarto para magbihis nagmadali siya halos muntikan niyang makalimutan na nasa labas si Migo and when she went out of the room there was Pollux holding a two box. Those box that she asked a day ago.
Ngumiti siya. "Pollux, pakilagay nalang sa kwarto ko. Thank you." Tumingin siya kay migo mukhang hindi nito inaasahan na darating si pollux kahit naman siya ay hindi inaasahan nagkataon lang naman siguro na kadarating lang nila dumating naman si pollux.
Migo was looking straight at her. "Pasensya na, Hindi ko talaga alam na may bisita ka ngayon, Vera. I was throught to bring it tonight since baka busy ka at day time and never knew you were with him.." Bumaling ito kay Migo. "It's okay. Pasensya narin sa istorbo you know that those things are important so I asked you since hindi ko rin naman alam kung saan yan inilagay or itinapon mabuti nalang hindi pa." Suminghap siya.
"Almost, Lucky you. Rifle saved them."
She just smiled. Tumingin ito kay Migo at bumaling muli sakaniya, "I should go.. I have patients left. Ihinatid ko lang talaga 'to dahil hindi ko mautusan si Rifle, Sige. Una na ako and have fun.. you two" What?
When he left tinignan niya si migo na kanina pa nakatingin sakaniya and It's late that she realize what she's wearing. Nighties Robe, she bite her lips at tumingin kay Migo na titig na titig lang sakaniya.
"Uhm, Oh. Sorry.. You're just so beautiful." Nakaramdam naman siya ng mainit sa kaniyang pisngi sa sinabi nito sakaniya. "You want some coffee?" She offered. They spend the whole afternood at hanggang ngayon ay magkasama parin silang dalawa. It's just the point, She have him all day.
Nasa kusina siya when migo stood up and look around siya naman nakatanggap ng mensahe mula kay pollux. the message seems sent earlier when he left, ngayon lang niya napansin.
From: Pollux
Use Protection.
Mahina siyang tumawa at umiling. "Here's your coffee.." Nakangiti ito habang lumalakad at tinignan ang frames sa sala niya. It was a pictures of her, with her parents and brother ilan duon kasama niya sila taffy. There is no picture of her with him or anything, Those pictures and photos were left into Migo's mansion at nalaman niya na binalak iyon itapon ng uncle ni migo but rifle and bullet got it before he could at itinago iyon sa bahay ni rifle and chance to get it back. Now, she have it back.
"You live alone?" Biglang tanong naman nito, mukhang sumagi sa isip nito sila Trevor. "Hmm, I have a brother.. si Vayce he's in canada with his wife. Sabi niya bibisita nalang sila dito since gusto niya na kasi mag stay sa canada kasama asawa niya and I respected the decision he can visit me anytime here since I told him I have to stay."
Bumaling ito sakaniya. "The photos of you and your parents are seems to be old.. Are they.." Hindi na siya nagsalita pa at tumango. "Sorry, I shouldn't ask they just seems a bit familiar to me.. somehow."
Ngumiti lang siya at hindi naman masyadong malalim ang gabi when she wash some dishes and clean the kitchen seeing him staring at her at alam niya na kung bakit, then she went to the other side and bend down na tila may kinukuha, honestly? She was looking at his reaction down— Pinagpapawisan.
Kinakabahan. Iyon ang mukha nito kaya lumapit at tinabihan niya itong buksan ang TV sa sala to watch some movie which sumakto ang palabas na After.
Migo keep his attention at the movie while she was trying to pull down the robe at her shoulder part para ipang-akit kay migo until the movie went into some hot scene that seems giving him feel hotter even more right now at their position. He's seduced..
She played her finger to his shoulders but then he grabbed her hand become it could reach his neck.
Napahiga siya sa sofa na inuupuan nila. Her head reach the arm of it's sofa at hindi narin nakapag salita when he claimed her lips. Well, It works!
Inangat nito ang kamay niya sa ere habang agresibo ang pag angkin sa labi niya. He claimed her lips and she kissed him back habang ang kamay nasa palupot ng leeg nito na ninanamnam at nilalasap ang bawat pag halik sa isa't isa his another hand read her body na umangat sa dibdib niya, he keep kissing her kahit na ng tumunog ang isang telepono.
His phone.
"H–hey.. you should answe.." pinigilan siyang magsalita nito na panay lang ang halik sakaniya and he even claimed her lips inside licking then bigla na naman nagring ang phone nito. "Fuck it!"
Tumayo siya at sinagot ang phone after that they both sitting awkward. "Uhm, I'll be going." Paalam ni Migo na maski siya dismayado sa ngayari ngayong gabi. She's so disappointed! So was he. "I.. I had a urgent business as Heil speak. I–I should go right?"
"O-okay.." Nagkatitigan pa silang dalawa before Migo left and she closed the door at sumandal dito. Hindi niya mapigilan ang sarili sa ngyari kanina, they just make out and for damn sake, mukhang na-akit nga niya migo. Maybe it's true, he doesn't resist too much and he will do whatever he think of he wants.
And he wants her.
HE LEFT the house in very disappointed dahil kinailangan niya umalis because of a damn call! Tumawag si Heil and telling him for some business kaya pumunta siya sa bar to ask what he's talking about kasama pa nila sila Pollux and the fuck are they doing seems to be planned. Mukhang alam nilang may balak talaga siya gawin kay Vera.
Damn it! I'm so close to take her in bed, pero dahil sa mga ulupong na to nabitin sila parehas! Damn.
"You bastard. Tell me you have nothing to say and you just called me to stop me making out with her?"
They laugh. "Smart. But yeah, that's the plan." Bullshit! Halos sapakin niya sa inis si Heil dahil bitin na bitin lang naman siya. "Hey! Saan ka pupunta?" Tinalikuran niya lang naman ang mga ito.
"I want to go home and take a rest."
He went home and take a rest? That's not his thing hindi siya pagod and he want just to sit back on his bed and jack off when the lights off and wiping his fingers in a tissue. Pagod is not his thing right now, nabitin nga talaga siya masyado to feel like this.
Horny as fuck. Hindi niya kaya pigilan ang sarili at ang nararamdaman niya. "Oh.. Shit!" Panay ang pagtatrabaho ng kamay niya sa pagkalalake niya at pawis na pawis habang nasa dilim then his phone beeped. It was Vera with her late night message.
From: Vera
Hey, It's late yeah. Sorry to bug in, hindi kasi ako makatulog mula ng kanina and I know how disappointed you are because I've seen that kind of face before. We just make out, I mean. Alam kong may ibig sabihin sayo ng ginawa na'tin lalo na disappointed ka ng umalis ka because of that call and If you're still awake, can we call? I'm having a hard time because of what happened earlier.
Ngumiwi siya at tinawagan agad si Vera na walang reply-reply dito. "I admit your honour, I'm very disappointed about what happened earlier." Birong sambit niya pero totooong dismayado siya.
"I just think of, I'm sorry."
"Huh? Sorry for what?"
Kumunot pa ang noo niya. "I'm guilty of seducing you with purpose and It really works, yeah?" Tumawa siya. "I knew that. Halata naman na inaakit mo talaga ako kaya hindi na ako nabigla pa sayo."
"Because I want to know if the boss of bourne empire and estate was easy to seduce."
She's funny. "You talk so open minded and comfortable to me talking about making out or sex."
Yep. Napansin niya and she's so cute, how can he even miss any detail on her? Especially how she talks about making out is normal to her it seems to be.. she have done that before? Kanino kaya?
"To think right now you have boner or maybe your hand is giving a job for yourself, hard time e?"
Lumaki ang mga mata niya at bumaba sa sarili na ginagawa nga iyon. "You are creeping me out, woman." How did she even know what he's doing?
"I have a proposal to you, tomorrow." After that she end the call at puno ng katanungan ang isip niya sa huling sinabi nito, proposal? What proposal is it?
What is it? "See you tomorrow.."
and the call just ended.
