Scars of Yesterday

VENUS felt the anger inside her chest when someone entered the flower shop. She can't be wrong or mistaken. She knows the way he stands, the way he walks, she knows all of his motion. Masyado niyang kilala ang taong nakita niya kaya hindi pweding nagkakamali lang siya o di kaya'y namamalik-mata. Kaswal lang na lumapit ang lalaki sa counter at hinarap siya. She froze when their eyes met. His features are still the same but he's more manly now. He still has those long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, his aquiline nose, adequate cheekbones, well-crafted jawline, and his red sensual lips. Then she breath heavily when she glances at his eyes again. It is beautiful and still purple. A rare and magical eye that can send thousands of shivers into her spine years ago. "Welcome to Giselle's Flower Shop, Sir." She greets him with a fake smile and a fake casual welcome. Then she scans him from head to toe, it's been a decade but he still hasn’t changed a bit. He's still into leather jackets and den

ISINARADO na ni Venus ang pintuan ng kanyang Flower Shop sapagkat uuwi na siya at tapos na rin ang kanyang trabaho. It's already five in the afternoon and it's closing time for her shop. Right after she close the door, she immediately texted her friends, Karla and Carina. Napagdesisyonan kasi nilang magkaibigan na magsaya at gumala muna ngayong gabi. They planned to have a girl's nightout just for fun and because they miss each other so much. Kahit nakatira lang sila tatlo sa West Carolina ay minsan lang sila nagkikita dahil may asawa't mga anak na ang dalawa niyang kaibigan. Kaya masyadong abala na ang mga ito sa kanya-kanyang mga buhay. Aside from her shop and being a single mother, wala nang iba pang pinagkakaabalahan si Venus. When her message was sent, she rode a taxi and eventually went home. Pagkarating niya sa bahay ay kaagad na sumalubong sa kanya ang pinaka-importanteng tao sa buhay niya ngayon, ang kanyang anak na si Giselle. "Mommy! Mommy!" Her little angel is always

VENUS felt the rays of the sun shone through her face. Then she woke up and scanned her eyes in the whole place. She was quite dizzy and she felt that her head was going to explode. Wala siyang masyadong maalala sa mga nangyari kagabi, kung bakit siya napunta sa hindi pamilyar na kwarto ngayon. She tried recalling her memories last night and then terror claimed her thoughts. She remembered that she was kidnapped last night! She was kidnapped by five goons who was wearing black masks. Kaya naman dali-dali siyang napabalikwas ng bangon at lumabas sa kwarto. Kaagad niyang naamoy ang mabangong aroma ng nilulutong adobong manok nang makalabas siya. Habang nililibot niya ang kanyang paningin ay napagtanto niyang nasa loob siya ng isang penthouse —marahil dito siya dinala ng mga dumukot sa kanya. Maraming katanungan ang nabuo sa kanyang isipan. Gaya ng kung ano ang kailangan ng mga dumukot sa kanya. Alam niya na ang kanyang pamilya ang pinakamayamang tao na nakatira sa West Carolina pero it

NAPABALIKWAS ng bangon si Venus nang magising siya mula sa isang panaginip. Pawis na pawis at mabilis ang pagtibok ng kanyang puso. Hindi niya inaasahan ang panaginip na iyon, hindi lang yun bastang panaginip lang kundi isang bangungot. Isang bangungot na hindi niya inaasahan na kasama ang lalaking kinamumuhian niya.It was a freaking nightmare! A fucking wet dream. She was wet dreaming of Mathis and she thought it was because of what happened yesterday.How he touched her folds and rubbed her cl-t, feeling her wetness. Yun siguro ang naging rason kung bakit napanaginipan niya ng malaswa ang lalaking iyon. Pero hindi lang yun panaginip lamang kundi isang alaala ng kanilang mainit na nakaraan.She sighed. Mathis idea of kidnapping her and spending time with her alone was indeed terrible. Paano na lang kung hindi lang yun ang mangyayari? Paano kung galawin siya ulit ng lalaki ngayon? Malaya yun na magagawa ni Mathis sapagkat sila lang dalawa dito sa penthouse at walang iba pang nakakaal

"LET'S make an agreement, Maddox." Pilyong napangiti si Venus sa kanyang sinabi. Sana naman ay pumayag ito at hayaan ang sarili na mahulog sa kanyang patibong. Damn, Venus was confident with her sweet deception that will surely can took over Mathis."And what kind of agreement, mí Corazon?" He smirked. Masyado niyang kilala ang babae para hindi malaman ang mga motibo nito. Nice try but Mathis was good on playing with fire more than her."Let's have sex exchange for my freedom." She spoke. Kinakabahan siya, wala naman kasi siyang ibang maisip na paraan kundi ito lang. Hindi niya alam kung hanggang kailan siya itatago dito ni Mathis at hindi niya alam kung kailan siya makakauwi sa kanyang anak. Paniguradong hinahanap na siya nun kasi hindi pa naman buo ang araw ng kanyang anak na hindi siya nito nakikita.She missed her. She missed her daughter.He chuckled. "Really, Vee? Sex for your freedom?""Oo, kailangan na makalaya na ako dito dahil may importanteng tao na naghihintay sakin dun."
