Hindi na siya nagtanong pa. The woman was a part of Kons’ past. Pareho naman silang nagkaroon ng ibang ka-relasyon. The only difference was Kons has already broken up with the woman while she was still in a relationship with Damien when they were forced to remain in each other’s lives. Nang matapos silang kumain, pumunta siya sa kwarto habang naiwan naman si Kons sa baba. She still can’t believe they are married now. Ni hindi siya nakapagbigkas ng “I do” or even wear a wedding dress. Hell, not even a white dress because there was no ceremony to begin with. If her mother was alive, Valya would be pissed and delighted at the same time. Her mother loved Konstantin like her own son, kaya nga nang hindi natuloy ang kasal nila noon— sumama ang loob ng kaniyang ina, pero naniwala itong may mabigat dahilan at sa dulo ay sila pa rin ang magkakatuluyan Iyon naman pala ay na-plano na rin ng kaniyang ina. Late in the evening at Visavi…“Just so you know, I don’t like this idea of yours. You co
“That’s enough!” gigil niyang saway kay Damian. “Masakit marinig ang totoo, Vanessa. You would not react this way if it wasn’t true.” Ngumiti ito sa kaniya nang nakakaloko. "My reaction had nothing to do with it." Pigil pero may diin ang bawat kataga na binitawan niya sa ex-boyfriend."It had everything to do with it. You can't fool me. I know you.""Actually, you don't." Kumunot ang noo ni Damien. "You know I never liked quiet nights at the beach. You always like lounging in the club and socializing with your friends. Or how about simply knowing when I'm tired?" Ngayong tapos na sila ay malaya na niyang masasabi ang lahat ng gusto niya. She's not afraid to hurt his feelings anymore. "You knew how tired I was from doing shows and yet you'd plan for another guesting the next day. I know it's business but I'm not a robot— I get tired too.""If you didn't want to, all you had to do was say no. What's the point of telling me this now?" All she could do was shake her head. She was tryin
"Hey, we're here." He didn't want to wake her up but the view was amazing and he didn't want her to miss it. Naalimpungatan si Vanessa at tumambad sa kaniya ang maraming ilaw. They were at some lookout and the area was isolated. Para bang exclusive para sa kanila ang lugar na 'yon. Nang marinig niya ang pagkalam ng sikmura ni Vanessa ay inabot niya ang isang plastic sa backseat. "I kinda knew you'd be hungry. Hindi ka masyadong nakakain kanina so I bought some snacks."Bakas ang pagtataka sa mukha ni Vanessa. "When did you get that? I don't remember you getting out of the car."Napatawa siya. Paano naman nito malalaman e tulog na tulog at naghihilik pa. "You were snoozing when I stopped by at some mini mart. May tambay doon kaya siya ang pinabili ko. Binigyan ko ng isang libo tapos sabi ko ikuha niya ako ng mga chips, chocolate at soft drinks pati tubig. He gave me back the change so I told him to keep it."Kinuha ni Vanessa ang isang Pringles. "Buti hindi ka tinakbuhan," biro nito
“You have got to be kidding me,” sabi niya sa sarili. With the windows rolled down, it was easy for him to hear an approaching car. Worse, if it’s a police car and if they get caught having sex in public, making an excuse that they are on honeymoon will not fly.“Put your shirt back on. Bilisan mo.” Binigay niya kay Vanessa ang damit nito at nagtataka itong tumingin sa kaniya.“Are you serious?! Didn’t you hear— Oh shit. Cops.” Dali-dali nilang inayos ang sarili nila. Vanessa’s hair is so messy she looked like she just had sex. “You missed a button,” sabi ni Vanessa sa kaniya.“It’s fine.” He started the car at bago pa nakalapit ang police car ay nakabalik na sila sa main road. Wala silang imikan on the way sa bahay. They were so close to being caught and as much as it was exciting, it was terrifying too. Not to mention— embarrassing. Nang makarating sila sa bahay, lipas na ang moment at si Vanessa ay hindi siya pinansin. Napahilamos siya sa mukha at hindi alam kung susundan ito o
His hands began to roam. Kons traced her spine and she was amazed how her body responded to his touch. It's like it's all she's ever known. She moaned and her arousal flooded her with adrenaline. He reached for her hands and held them together on her back. Para siyang bihag nito, katulad kung paanong wala na siyang kawala sa pagiging asawa ni Kons. It was like a sentence... but if this is what it felt like to have one, then she doesn't mind having it for the rest of her life. Kons blew some air on her hole at hindi niya naiwasan ang mapakislot at magpakawala ng isang impit na ungol. Hindi pa siya nakababawi sa paghinga pero heto na naman at umaatake na ang dila nito. Kung tikman siya ay parang hindi marunong magsawa. One would think she'd by dry by now based on how her husband licked her, pero ang sutil niyang katawan ay patuloy sa paggawa ng nektar. "Kons," tawag niya sa pangalan nito nang pumasok ang isang daliri sa loob niya habang patuloy siyang dinidilaan. Naglabas masok 'yon
They had each other for breakfast but now, it’s time to have real food. He told V to stay in bed and he will make their breakfast. He picked up the newspaper outside at nang makita ang bulaklak sa katabing unit ay pinitas niya ang puting rosas. Bakante pa ang unit kaya walang magrereklamo sa kaniya kung sakali. Eggs, sausage and toast. A cup of coffee for him and a glass of apple juice for his wife. Inayos niya lahat sa tray at inilagay sa baso ang rosas. “That was fast.” V was wearing one of his shirts and watching TV in bed."I didn't want you to wait too long. I know you're famished by now." Naupo siya sa tabi nito at dadamputin niya sana ang tasa ng kape nang maunahan siya nito. "You want coffee?" "A little. I haven't had it for so long I forgot what it taste like." Hinayaan niya ito sa gusto. He can't imagine the food and drinks she didn't consume to maintain her voice... and figure. "Ang pait." Napatawa siya dahil black coffee ang iniinom niya sa umaga. "It's black coffee.
Kons left with Lucian early in the morning and she was left with Georgina. Naabutan niya itong umiinom ng kape sa kusina. Her eyes were a little puffy, but still beautiful nonetheless. "I made some coffee. I hope you don't mind." Umiling siya. "I don't mind. Thanks for making coffee." Tahimik siyang naupo nang makakuha ng kape. Tsa sana ang iinumin niya pero dahil napuyat siya kagabi ay mas kailangan niya ang kape. Kons didn't touch her last night, and settled for just a hug. Nang maisip niya na isang tech si Georgina ay naglakas loob siyang hingin ang tulong nito. "You want me to take a look at your mom's cloud?" ulit ni Georgina sa sinabi niya. "She's an inventor, isn't she?" "Yes." Bago pa makapagkomento si Georgina ay inunahan niya na ito. "I know. Choosing to be a singer is very far from my mom's profession. My heart's just not in science." Napatawa si Georgina. "Hey, I'm not here to judge. It just surprised me that you didn't follow her footsteps. But then, I didn't either.
"Why is that?" tanong niya kay Georgina nang makaupo ito. She took a sip of water while waiting for their appetizers to be served. Nagtataka lang siya na iba ang tingin ni Georgina kay Damien kaagad kahit kakikilala pa lang nito sa lalaki. Wala naman siyang napansin na kakaiba sa paglapit nito. She thinks he was professional with his approach at ang pelikula na pagtatampukan niya ay pagbibidahan ng dalawang kilalang mga aktor at aktres. Supporting ang role niya at may mga pagkakataon na kailangan niyang kumanta dahil siya ang magiging karibal ng bidang babae. Nagkibit balikat si Georgina. "I don't know." "But you just met him." Hindi nagreply si Georgina at sa halip ay dumampo ito ng isang bun at nilagyan ng butter. "Does it matter if I don't trust him? Why was he at our table anyway?" "He came to apologize for how he acted when I ended our relationship. Also, he told me about the movie that I was supposed to be a part of." "Let me guess. Hindi matutuloy kung wala ka." Georgina r
