CITRINE:

"CITRINE? " Alex opened his door at his unit when she rang his doorbell continuously. Citrine didn't wait for Alex to ask her again when she uninvitedly pushed him inside the unit, followed by her.

She held both his cheeks and gave him a long kiss on his lips. Alex didn't avoid her; instead, he willingly responded to her kisses.

Her hands scanned through his hard chest up to his collarbones. Alex didn't hesitate about what she was offering and grabbed her buttocks to press hers against his. Alex began giving her small kisses down from her jaw to her neck.

"Uhhh, Why are you so aggressive tonight Cit?" Narinig niyang sabi nito ngunit hindi niya pinansin at bagkus ay sinimulan niya ipagapang pababa ng laylay ng white shirt nito upang itaas iyon. Alex got the idea what she was giving tonight kung kaya't agad nitong hinawakan ang sariling laylayan ng damit upang tulungan siyang mahubad iyon.

She pushed Alex as they walked near the man's couch. Napaupo ito sa couch habang napakagat labing nakatitig sa kanya. She could see a naughty smirk on Alex's face when she started unzipping her black casual dress.

"Geez, I like that," Komento nang makita ang kanyang ginawang pagbaba ng suot na dress hanggang beywang niya, Her Black brassiere was now exposed. " You are really beautiful Citrine."

Agad niyang ipinatong sa kandungan ang sariling pang-upo upang halikan muli ito. Alex held her waist to balance her weight.

Alam niyang sa isang paghalik at haplos lang niya ay maaakit niya ito. Sa ganda at kaseksihan niya ay walang sinuman ang makakatanggi sa kanya kapag ginusto niya. She was truly a beauty, a gem, and one of a kind.

Marami ang nagkandarapa upang mapa-ibig siya, Ang kanyang filipina beauty ay lumilitaw sa kanyang mga features. Maputi nga lamang siya na nakuha niya sa lahi ng kanyang ina na mestiza at ang balingkinitan niyang pangangatawan ay nakuha naman iya sa lahi ng kanya ng ama.

Ang mahaba at makintab na kulay itim niyang buhok ay nagk-kompliment sa ganda ng kanyang katawan at mukha.

Alex was not her boyfriend, nor her friend, but her f*ck buddy. No one knew about their unique situation. No strings attached, but he considered him the best bed partner, and she had to admit that Alex was great when it came to sex.

Alex has a manly features, hard biceps, and 3 packs of abs. He was also a good-looking guy. Ang pagiging mukhang latino nito ay nakuha sa malakas na dugo ng ama nito na si Tito Alber Maniego. Yes, Alex was a Maniego.

Alex caught her attention after her welcome party when she got back from studying in New York. Si Alex lang ang nakakuha ng kanyang ugali kung kaya't ito sila ngayon. Mahilig maglaro ng apoy kung kailan nila gugustuhin.

Naramdaman niya ang paghaplos nito sa kanyang binti kung kaya't mas lalo niyang ibinuka ang kanyang mga hita upang bigyan ng espasyo ang sarili nito na yakapin siya.

Naramdaman niya ang pagtaas muli ng kamay nito upang kapain ang buckle ng kanyang brassiere. Napatigil siya sa kanyang paghalik ng mapagtanto ang kanyang ginagawa.

"Stop," Agad niyang pigil niya dito na agad na paghinto ng binata. Napatingin siya dito ng magtaka ito kung bakit pinatigil niya ito sa pagpagtanggal ng natitira niyang saplot sa katawan.

"Are you okay?" Agad na tanong nito.

Agad naman siyang umalis sa pagkaka-ibibaw nito at umupo sa tabi nito sa couch. Inayos niyang muli ang nakababang damit at isunuot muli ito.

"I'm sorry, my mood changed." Walang reaksyong sabi niya habang hinawi ang nagulong buhok at napapikit dahil nasira ang kanyang mood ng maisip na hindi niya dapat gawin ito dahil kalilibing lang ng kanyang ama.

"Hey, it's okay," Sagot naman nito. " I know you've been through a lot this week." Sabi nito na hindi naman na-disappoint dahil walang mangyayari sa kanilang gabi.

"I shouldn't be here. I have to go." Nagmamadali siyang tumayo na parang walang nangyari ngunit bago pa man siya makahakbang ay hinawakan siya ni sa kanyang pulso.

"Citrine, I know you are in pain; you just lost your dad." Narinig niyang mahinahong sabi nito. "I didn't come near you during his funeral because I know you were busy, but you know you can always rely on me whenever you feel vulnerable."

Hindi siya nagsalita ng marinig ito sa binata ngunit hindi rin naman niya maiwas ang pulsong hinawakan nito dahil sa totoong lang ay tama ito. She was in her vulnerable state. Her father died unexpectedly due to an illness that he kept from her. No one knew that he was in pain, and it was too late for her to do something for her father. She wasn't that close to her dad, but he was still part of her. He was her father's only, not that she knew of. Malungkot pa rin na nawala ito ng wala man lang siya nagawa dahil hindi niya alam na may sakit ito.

Alex stood up and came closer to her side. She felt his warm hug kung kaya't hindi na niya napigilan ang pagbagsak ng kanyang luha at nagtuloy-tuloy na rin ang kanina pa niya pinipigilang pag-iyak.

She wasn't in love with Alex, but she knew that Alex would help her ease the pain that any minute would burst inside her heart.

"I am alone now, I am not prepared of what future aheads of me. He prepared me in everything but not on this kind of scenario. I am not ready to takeover his company." Bulalas niya habang umiiyak sa tabi nito. Sa unang pagkakataon ay ipinakita niya ang soft side niya sa isang tao.

"My dad will be there to guide you, Citrine. I am also there to be on your side." Pag-alo pa nito habang pinapat ang kanyang likod. " You can always rely on us when it comes to running your business. Just don't hesitate." Payo pa nito. Alex was under his dad's supervision. Isa rin ito sa may maliit na share sa kanilang kumpanya.
