CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE
Patakbo akong nagtungo sa comfort room. The banyo in our cabin has a connected hot spring jacuzzi.
Binuksan ko ang shower. I let the water pour in my body to rinse the malagkit feeling. I cleaned my face with a towel after. Nag-toothbrush na rin ako. Ngayon ko lang naramdamang ang sakit sa panga nang ginawa kong pagpapaligaya sa kanya. Tapos sa mukha ko nag-burst iyong seeds niya when it should be inside. Where inside? On my mouth or my inside to make a new life? Napailing ako sa naisip ko. But the thing is, sayang iyong sperm.
On the other hand, semen is good for someone who aims to have clear skin.
Hinawi ko ang curtains na tumatahob sa parte ng hot spring jacuzzi. Outside, I could see the clear sky and the ocean. It has a bit of nature vibe with green plants everywhere. It occupied a lot of space. The water is very warm and it was calming my inside. Conn
CHAPTER SEVENTY He started the engine and drove me home. Mabagal lang ang takbo noon. Panaka - naka kaming nag-uusap habang nasa Chevrolet Corvette, he would ask me about my Paris life like he didn’t know anything about it. Sigurado naman akong nakasunod siya sa akin most of the time. Nakaramdam ako ng antok kaya binuhay ko ang stereo habang nasa daan kami. Animal of The Cab is currently playing in the background. I really think that the lyrics suit them well the Alphas or whatever they call themselves. My heart may be missing But my hands will make up for it Don’t think this is innocent I’ll sink my teeth right into it My eyes and my mouth agree You’ll be coming home with me ‘Cause girl you know, ‘cause girl you know
CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE “Ay, nako, Sioux! Dapat matuto ka niyan. Paborito niya iyang spaghetti. Kahit anong oras man iyan, pwede niyang kainin. Tapos ang ube jam, dapat sa french brid lang. Alam mo bang mangga at ube jam ang pinaglihian niya noon sa bebe namin. Ay, hindi ganyan! Maliliit dapat ang gayat at saka dice dapat!” Rinig na rinig ko ang boses ni Manang na minamanduhan si Sioux sa hagdan pa lang. Damn, I know she’s trying to teach Sioux the basic cooking and my comfort food, but well, it’s Sioux. Kunot na naman ang kanyang noo nang maabutan ko sa counter kasama si Manang. He was cutting some ingredients. “Good morning, babe. How’s your sleep?” Nakita ko ang pagngisi niya kahit hindi siya diretsong nakatingin sa akin. Napailing ako. Ngising - aso na naman ang gago. Sa mansyon kami natulog and Manang insisted that we must take different rooms. I stayed in my room, sa guest
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO The next day, the happiness I felt was drained away. There’s no Sioux in the bed. Hinanap ko siya sa kabuuan ng mansyon. He isn’t here. Ilang ulit kong tinawagan ang phone niya pero cannot be reached na ito. I was worried, at the same time, naiisip kong baka natauhan na siya at napagod na siya dahil sa paghindi ko sa proposal niya. But I trust him. I trust his love for me. “Aba, kumalma ka nga munang bata ka! Baka naman and’yan lang iyon sa tabi - tabi. Isa lang ang nasisiguro ko, mahal ka noon.” Inabot sa akin ni Manang ang tubig. I accepted it. “Why did he leave without saying goodbye or something?” I was frustrated at Sioux. Wala man lang pasabi ang lalaking iyon. Umalis siya without saying anything to me. Nagsalin pa si Manang sa glass ko. “Babalik iyon. Naniniwala ako. Kaya maniwala ka rin, anak. Magtiwala ka.” pahayag ni Manang bago niya ako iwan sa
CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE He was fucking hot. We were in the side deck of the yacht kissing torridly. Wala na ang panty ko ng hindi ko namamalayan. His hands were wandering around my body. Inihiga niya sa beach chair doon. Tanging malaking umbrella lang ang sumasalo sa sikat ng araw. Sobrang hot din ang katawan namin. I feel like we’ll have a heat stroke. Pero sobrang sarap. Mahi-heat stroke sa pag-abot sa langit. Nakaluwa na ang dibdib ko sa kanya. His tongue was playing on my nipple, he was biting it sometime adding to the erotic sensation I am feeling. Habang ilang daliri niya, they were entering my sensitive hole. “Like it, babe?” annoying na tanong niya. I can’t even say a proper response for the pleasure I am feeling. Damn him. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko ibabaling ang ulo ko. The feeling was too much. Napaliyad ang katawan ko. Something’s building up
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR Looking at the little girl, I was somewhat amazed. Bibo si Badiday at maraming kwento although some of the things she was saying were unfamiliar to me. Hindi rin siya magaling mag-pronounce ng pangalan. She calls Sioux ‘Soks’ and she calls me ate barbie. According to her, mukha raw akong barbie. Isa pa, nahihirapan siyang banggitin ang pangalan ko. And she’s more reliable in the kitchen than Sioux. Siguro mas matanda sa kanya si Photia. And they could probably have been friends. I haven’t asked her age. Ipinapaala niya ang baby ko. I blew a loud breath while staring at her face from a far. Muntik pa kaming mag-away ni Sioux dahil sa bata. She let the little kid alone in his yacht. Sinundo niya ako ng walang kasama si Badiday. Yes, he has men around. But it wasn’t enough. What if may masamang mangyari kay Badiday habang mag-isa siya? Accidents happen all the time. He’s not think
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE “Sioux!” I called from the cabin. Sinusuklay ko ang buhok ko sa vanity mirror na kaharap ko. I saw him emerged. He was topless. Basa ang kanyang buhok, mayroong towel na nakasukbit sa balikat niya. For sure, he went swimming again. “You need anything, babe?” Lumapit siya sa tayo ko, dumukwang siya para halikan ako sa labi. “We need to go shopping. I’m running out of undergarments.” I informed him. Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya. He raised a brow. “Do you still need them?” mayabang niyang tanong. “I prefer no undergarments at all and you being naked under the sheet.” Inirapan ko siya. “Ha-ha. Funny. Of course, I need them, idiot.” He shook his head. “Anything for my queen.” masuyo niyang sambit. Dinampian niya ang noo ko ng isang halik. I don’t feel like dressing up, so I chose to wear a p
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX “Oh,” mahinang ungol ko. It was wholesome kind of ungol if there is. Nagising ako sa masarap na sensasyon. “Right there, babe…” “Like it?” Sioux asked with that serious expression on his face. Nagco-concentrate yata. He brought it to the next level. I moaned louder. Sarap na sarap naman ako. Sarap na sarap sa masahe niya. I was really tired and I appreciate his gesture. It was helping me at ease. Alam kong napapagod din siya, but his motto would be me before anyone else even himself. Ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagmasahe sa paa ko hanggang tuluyang guminhawa ang pakiramdam ko. “Thank you, babe.” Dumukwang siya papalapit sa akin para bigyan ako nang masuyong halik. I caressed his face. “Feel better now?” I nodded. “Good,” he replied tucking the hair behind my ear. “Let’s
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN There are good and bad times. That’s reality. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies. If the bad times come, we only need hope and faith that the better days are coming and they usually do. I am already in the better days. If the bad ones come around again, I’m ready to face it. Not alone. But I’m with someone whom I’m trusting my lifetime with. Kasama na rin doon sina Manang. They are my treasures. Walang katumbas na kahit ano mang salapi. “Babe,” ungot ni Sioux nang pumasok siya sa office ko sa cruise ship. Yes, I have one and it was enormous. Tahimik na bumukas ang door. Kanina pa siya patunghay - tunghay sa labas ng office. Well, I have literally everything in here. There’s my office, gyms, movie theater, boutiques only for me and everything that I want and need, name it. “It’s already late, aren’t you tired? Have some rest.”
