Chapter 2: The Anniversary

He pinned me against the wall while softly massaging my shoulders. I tilted my head to give him more room to shower my neck with kisses.

Ang mga daliri niya ay gumagapang, humihimas sa legs ko bago nito ako haplusin sa pagitan ng mga hita ko. Slowly but surely, his teasing touches made me moan like crazy again. But just as I was getting carried away, he suddenly stopped, removed his hand, and breathed out.

"We can't finish it right now. Damn, how can I resist you?" he murmured, looking at me with a mixture of frustration and affection. "But my clients have been waiting for me. I hope you'll understand."

"Of course I understand," I replied, trying to sound reassuring despite the lingering disappointment I felt. I pouted slightly before wrapping my arms around his waist. "Basta mamaya, umuwi ka nang maaga. It's our 11th anniversary, after all," I reminded him, looking up at him with my devoted eyes.

Yes, tonight marks exactly eleven years of being together. I couldn't help smiling at the thought of how we would celebrate this special occasion. Just thinking about it made me excited.

"I know you're busy, so probably ako na lang ang maghahanda ng dinner natin for tonight dito sa condo," I offered, brushing my fingers against his chest.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry, Athira." He cupped my cheek, his thumb gently brushing against my skin. "I would've liked to book a dinner reservation for tonight, but I forgot. I feel so bad about it."

"No, no, don't say that." I shook my head and placed my hand over his. "It's totally okay with me. Nandito lang tayo sa condo magse-celebrate, right?" I asked with a playful smile. "Besides, it'll be more intimate, wouldn't it?"

He chuckled softly at my teasing remark before leaning down to capture my lips in one last long, deep kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, reluctant to let him go, but he eventually pulled away with a sigh.

“I really need to go,” he whispered, stealing one last glance at me. He then straightened his shirt and reached for his things. “Ikaw rin, love, magpakabait ka sa bago mong job. Do your best to please your clients,” he added with a teasing wink.

I narrowed my eyes at him, pretending to be offended by his remark. "Noted Mr. Massage Therapist," I retorted, crossing my arms over my chest.

He laughed and shook his head before leaning in to kiss my forehead. "All right, all right. I believe you. But I really need to go now." He stepped toward the door, then turned back to look at me. "I love you!"

"I love you, too!" I called back, waving at him as he finally walked out.

"Bye! Don't forget to wash your hands!" I shouted after him, unable to resist one last teasing reminder. Paalala kung saan siya humawak kanina.

His faint laughter echoed from a short distance away, na nagpangiti sa akin habang pinagmamasdan siyang papasok sa loob ng kanyang kotse.

9:00 PM

I am certain that I already texted him, telling him na umuwi na, after reading his last message na tapos na siya sa last client niya. Kaya nakakapagtakang hindi pa rin siya umuuwi hanggang ngayon.

Baka something happened to him while he's on his way here? I don't want to think of something bad. I refused to entertain those thoughts. Baka traffic lang o may huling inasikaso. But I'm sure he'll be back. I remember his promise.

I waited for another hour before I finally decided to visit him at his clinic. Baka talaga may nangyaring masama sa kanya. Hindi na rin kasi siya sumasagot sa calls ko.

I drove my car papunta sa location ng clinic niya.

I slipped through the entrance nang walang kahirap-hirap kasi bukas pa rin ito kahit wala naman siyang clients na naghihintay.

I decided na pumunta sa office niya nang may narinig akong kalabog, so I expected na siya na iyon. But hindi pala. Walang tao sa office niya. Baka sa ibang room nanggaling yung narinig kong ingay.

Halos nalibot ko na rin lahat ng spaces for his clients, at wala akong nakita maliban sa huling room na nakabukas ang ilaw. Huli ko na ring napansin ang liwanag mula roon nang makuha ng mahinang ingay ang atensiyon ko.

Maybe he has his last client. He really works that hard para halos makalimutan na niya ang anniversary namin.

I slowly walked towards it and noticed that the door was slightly open. I could still hear the noises. I suddenly had that feeling na hindi ko maipaliwanag.

When I opened the door, I didn't expect what I saw. I mean, who would expect to see their boyfriend making out with some other girl?

My eyes started to betray me as I saw them at that very moment, my boyfriend thrusting his dick into that woman's sensitive depths!
