"KNEEL and ass up, baby doll..." I gripped the headboard tighter when I felt him behind me.
"Like this?" I asked, still catching my breath. I was on my stomach, almost gripping the bed sheets to let out my frustrations for this damn charade.
Kanina pa niya ako inaasar!
"Yeah, good girl..." he hummed and I gasped when I felt his palm slapping my butt cheek.
I gasped, mariing ipinikit ko ang mata at naramdaman ang paghila niya ng marahan sa hita ko palapit sa kanya. I purred when I felt him rubbing his length in my wet slit, his palm molding my behind.
"Just..." I gasped and moved my waist but he held me firmly to stop me from moving.
"Did I tell you to move?" he asked coldly. I shook my head.
"No, I just...fill me already kasi," I whined and looked back at him.
The side of his lips twitched while looking at me glaring at him, his dimples made its appearance again and from my view in this position, he was kneeling behind me, still with his jeans on, his legs spread like mine.
Walang pang-itaas kaya kitang-kita ko ang kanyang katawan.
His hair was messy in his forehead from my fingers earlier when we made out, his brown eyes so dark and menacing as he looked at me.
"Why? You miss me that much, huh?" he hummed when he saw me glaring at him.
"Damn you, wala tayong mukbang ng matagal!" I exclaimed and he laughed more. I felt him tease my entrance with his dick again, frustrating me even further.
"Chance Ford! Can you stop teasing me?!" I exclaimed and he laughed again.
"Alright, I'm sorry. I missed my baby doll so much too, though." He smirked and my eyes wideed when he entered me without any warnings.
"You!" I hissed pero muling napadapa sa kama nang hawakan niya ang balakang ko.
He was slow at first but I felt his pace quickened after some time. Moans after moans, I am sure I might lose my voice each time he'd slip his dick in and out, taking my sanity away.
"Moan my name, baby..." he breathed and held me tighter.
"Chance..." I cried, my voice unrecognizable. "F-fuck, faster, baby boy! Faster, Chance!"
"Of course, baby doll," he said and I felt the heat spread and intensified when his palm gripped my hair, fisting it and tugged it up, making my face tilt.
He kissed me from behind. I cried out and called his name desperately, my hands seeking for anything to grip.
He filled me to the brim, his dick cock hitting a spot I desperately want to reach.
He held me by the stomach, pulling me up for my back to lean against his chest as I began thrusting back to meet his movements.
He groaned and cursed.
"Fuck, Darshana..." he breathed and slammed on me, hitting the spot. He was massive I felt so damn full I think it almost reached my damn womb. "You temptress..."
"A-ah...Chance, please!" Sinalubong ko ang bawat ulos niya't nakipagpalitan ng halikan.
My moans and his growls filled the cold room but despite it, we were burning with lust. We were both damn horny.
We haven't seen each other for almost a week because of my flights and family schedules and he went to Davao for his art exhibit and now, we met again and we're like starving monsters.
"C-Chance!" I gasped, gripping the bed sheet tighter as he moved inside me, he fisted my hair more at nang umangat pang lalo ang mukha ko ay naramdaman ko ang halik niya sa batok ko.
"I missed you, Daru..." he rasped. "Damn, calls and texts aren't enough for me, baby."
"M-me too..." I gasped and tilted my head to kiss him again.
We kissed hungrily like starving bunnies. I was so lost with his kisses na hindi ko na napansing nakahiga na pala ako sa copy.
I was naked, I was spread so wide for his personal consumption. My breasts were in full view, my skin still flushed with red like his.
He ran his gaze on me, his eyes filled with hunger. He moistened his lip and raked his hair.
"Delicious," he said while drinking the sight in. I smiled sweetly at him, pinching my nipple and then biting my finger. His eyes darkened.
"Really? Sulit ba ang mukbang, baby boy?" I teased.
He smirked.
"I'd never expected less from you, baby doll..." He chuckled and tapped my leg. "Come on, doll, wrap your legs on my waist so I could fuck you better."
"Okay," I said and smiled, I encircled my legs on his waist and he lifted my waist and slammed himself one more time inside me as he dipped his head to suck on my breasts.
I got lost in his arms and warmth once again. We exchanged kisses and I felt him fondle my breast and jack-hammered me. I can hear the creaking of the bed with our every move, I almost didn't recognize my voice.
Damn, I don't care if I sounded like a banshee anymore! Ang sarap, eh!
I felt the familiar feeling forming in my stomach. I gripped his arm and he already knew. He cocked his head, angled himself better and rubbed my clit while staring at me until I exploded.
I was so tired but very satisfied. Chance, on the other hand was full of his stamina. He fucked me harder. His length filled my core, made me feel so full and empty whenever he'll pull away, leaving me wanting for more.
I saw how he closed his eyes and dug his fingers on my flushed skin, his chest was bright red, the veins in his neck was showing. The sound of his moan and the creaking of the bed were music in my ears.
"Fuck!" He cursed and then pulled out, stroking himself quickly until he exploded in my skin.
I gasped and watched as his warm load painted my skin white.
'Di pa siya tapos. I watched him teasingly rubbed his dick in my wet slit and finished himself outside, our cum mixing.
Damn, that's fucking hot...
I breathed shakily, composing myself, waiting to come down from the high.
Nagkatitigan kami. He gave me a handsome grin. Umirap ako.
"So, kailan ka talaga bibili ng condom, Chance Ford?" I hissed and he chuckled, napapikit ako nang ilapit niya ang mukha sa akin at pinatakan ako ng halik.
"I forgot it, baby, sorry." He kissed my lips and stared at my eyes. "Withdrawal is safe."
"O-oh? Akala ko ba depende?" I raised my brow and he licked his lower lip, hinawi niya ang buhok sa may pisngi ko at hinaplos ito.
"Depende nga," aniya kaya sumimangot ako at kinurot siya. He chuckled. "Sorry, sorry... naubos na kasi natin 'yong naiwang stock no'ng nakaraan. I promise I'll be careful, I won't even spill."
Lumabi lang ako.
"Weh? Okay, sige. Sabi mo 'yan, ah! Pero inferness, masarap siya..."
He laughed and nodded.
"You're right. I call it my pull-out game," he informed. My forehead creased.
"What? Is that even a thing?" I asked. He smirked and tilted my chin, kissing me on the lips.
"It feels better being inside you without the damn condoms on, baby," he said and touched my chin. "Don't you feel the same?"
I nodded, knowing for sure I couldn't deny it.
Mas masarap nga kapag walang kapote.
It felt so good feeling his bare cock inside me than the rubber but it made me wonder.
"Pero... paano nga kung mabuntis ako, huh?" I raised my brow at him. His lips pursed as he shook his head.
"You won't, I'll be careful. I promise," he said and touched my cheek. "Do you have a flight tomorrow? Did I tire you, baby?"
"A bit..." I yawned but smiled and showed him my thumbs-up. "Pero havey."
He smiled handsomely.
"Rest now, let me clean you while you sleep." He lowered his head and kissed my forehead before standing on the bed, zipping the damn jeans he didn't even remove while we were having mukbang.
Nakatulog ako sa sobrang pagod, I woke up the next day without Chance beside me. I stood from the bed, naisip na baka umalis na siya kaya mabilis akong nagtungo sa banyo para maligo.
I am fully clothed now, suot ko pa ang shirt niya kagabi at ang bagong underwear kaya nangiti ako at napailing, inaangat ang buhok ko para itali.
While washing my body, I couldn't help but smile, remembering what happened last night. I checked it for any possible marks and thankfully, he didn't give me hickeys like I warned him about.
Chance is something, he can fuck me like I was some fuck doll but make love like I am his treasured woman at the same time. He's just so sweet and gentle, he puts my pleasure first before his but at times, I can't help but wonder what will happen to us after this.
He said he's willing to court me when I made out my mind.
I blow dried my hair, fixing my navy blue uniform for today. Kinuha ko ang cap na gagamitin ko mamaya kasama ng uniform at nang makontento ay at saka lang lumabas ng kwarto.
My forehead creased and my stomach made a growling sound the moment I smelled something delicious inside the kitchen. Nakarinig ako ng kalampag ng gamit doon kaya naglakad ako palapit.
Chance is still here? I thought he left?
Hindi na ako nagulat nang makita siyang may ginagawa sa may lamesa. My son, Cho-choo is busy eating while wiggling his tail on the side kaya napangiti ako.
"Good morning?" I greeted. Napalingon sa akin si Chance na may ngiti na kaagad.
"Hi, baby, morning,"
I smiled and hopped towards him, I tilted my head and he gave me a quick kiss bago ako lumingon sa anak ko na napalingon na sa akin pero hindi maiwan ang pagkain niya.
"Hello, Cho-choo..." I said sweetly, humarap na siya sa akin at nilabas ang dila kaya natawa ako. "Sorry, baby, did you have trouble sleeping?"
He just wiggled his tail at me kaya natawa na ako.
"Maingay daw kasi ang Mommy." Nawala ang ngisi ko nang magsalita si Chance. I glared at him.
"I am not noisy, Chance. Ikaw kaya 'yon!" I exclaimed.
His brows wiggled.
"Really? Sino kaya sa ating dalawa ang matinis ang boses? I can clearly how you moaned—faster, Chance—"
I screamed.
"Blah! Blah! Wala akong naririnig!" I hissed and he laughed harder. Umirap ako at tinakpan ang tainga habang nakadukwang sa anak ko na hindi nga ata nakatulog ng maayos sa ingay ni Salcedo.
I squealed when I suddenly felt I was being lifted, umirap na ako lalo nang matantong binuhat nga ako ni Chance sa braso niya.
"Sige na, ako na maingay..." aniya na parang hindi pa sincere at napipilitan.
"Whatever, ikaw naman talaga maingay sa ating dalawa, ah?" I snorted.
Ibinaba niya ako sa stool at humalik sa noo ko.
"Alright, sige, ako na talaga..." aniya kaya napailing na lang ako at napabaling sa lamesa. I was shocked when I saw a packed lunch in a paper bag.
"What's..." Turo ko at inangat niya ang isang walang palamang sandwich at nilagyan.
"Your lunch," he said. "You have no breaks today, right?"
"Hmm, thirty minutes lang."
He nodded, nakita ko ang paglagay niya ng mga gulay sa tinapay ko at 'di ko alam kung mangingiwi ako o kikiligin.
"I cooked you lunch para less hassle kaysa bibili ka pa," he said and showed me the sandwich. "And this one is for your short breaks."
My heart jumped, ipinatong ko ang pisngi sa aking palad at pinanuod siya, nangingiti.
"You're extra sweet now, hmm? Baby boy?"
He glanced at me and smiled a little, lumitaw ang dimples niya sa maliit na ngiti na iyon.
"Why not? As if I haven't cook you lunch before?" aniya kaya naalala ko noon kapag pumupunta siya sa school ay may dala siyang lunch na pagsasaluhan naming dalawa.
"Sa bagay..." I trailed off. "Thank you for cooking, baby boy, but isn't it too much veggies?" Ngumuso ako at tumitingin sa sandwich na ginagawa niya.
"This is enough," he said and glanced at it. "Don't you... want this?"
"Of course, I do," I muttered shyly. "Pero... p'wede pabawasan?" I requested before smiling cutely.
"You unhealthy brat, you should eat more healthy foods from now on." He preached kaya natawa na ako at tumango.
"Okay po, Tatay Chance." I teased. Nakiliti tuloy ako ulit.
Having Chance sent me back to my younger years. It was nostalgic.
He kept on pampering me that I almost forgot I'm being independent na pala dapat. Kung noon ay hindi ako nakakapaghugas madalas ng plato pagkatapos kumain, ngayon ay parang may tagalinis ako ng condo.
He's doing the dishes and cleaning the whole room and cooking. Natatawa na lang ako minsan kapag sisimangot siya kapag tatawagin ko siyang Tatay Chance.
"That's a wrap up! Thank you so much po, Sandejas Family!" I smiled after the cameraman informed us.
Today, my family and I are in a photoshoot for our airline's advertisements. They took a photo of me, my brother and parents to update the website and the banners.
My father is wearing his navy blue uniform and cap, parehas sila ni Kuya ng suot. Ito ang uniporme nila kapag may overseas flight sila while me? I'm wearing my red flight attendant uniform and our hat. My mother's wearing her beautiful black dress, she has pearls as her necklace and earrings, nakapusod din ang kanyang buhok kaya ang ganda-ganda niya.
Si Dette naman ay 'di isinami because she's still young. We didn't want to expose her in cameras and in public.
"What a lovely family," I heard my senior flight attendant said kaya napangiti ako.
"Maraming salamat, Ma'am." I flashed a smile.
They excused me for a bit for a quick photo kaya sumama sina Ma'am, ang ilang cabin crew member para manuod, bukod kasi sa family picture namin sa website ay model din ako sa brochure at sa social media advertisements ng airlines namin.
Well, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang but I am Sandejas Air's face,
Kuya Macky is posing for it too pero madalang dahil ayaw niya talaga sa camera at pareho sila ni Papa. Si Mama rin ay lowkey at mahiyain at ako lang ata ang makapal ang mukha sa pamilya namin kaya ayos na ayos lang sa akin na maging model ng airlines.
"Hi, 'nak, you can come to your cousin's party tonight, right?" ani Mama at inayos ang hat ko.
"Opo, Mama. I have a flight pero out na po ako ng four, I'll be there, six pa naman po ang start, 'no?"
"Yes, 'nak. Your Papa didn't have a flight today, same as your brother. Ikaw lang, tutulong ako sa Tita Thallia mo sa pagluluto mamaya," she said.
"Okay, Ma. Ganda mo naman." Puri ko.
Namula siya kaya natawa ako. Mahiyain talaga ang mama kong maganda!
"Nah, mas maganda ang Darshana ko," she praised sweetly and pinched my cheek.
"Looks like Darshana really got your beauty, Mrs. Sandejas, ah?" Sabay kaming napatingin kay Ma'am na tinawag ang atensyon namin.
"Naku, hindi naman. My daughter is prettier than me," Mama said kaya ngumuso ako at inabot ang kamay niya.
"No, Ma'am. Mama is just so humble, where do you think I got my face? S'yempre kay Mama. Sabi nga po nila hawig na hawig ko."
"She's right, Mrs. Sandejas." She chuckled. "Mas kuha po ang itsura mo ni Darshana. You're both beautiful, regal, and charming."
"That's too much of a compliment, Mrs. Mercado." Mama laughed.
"Not really, my wife and daughter are beautiful, right, Mrs. Mercado?" Napangiti na kami ni Papa nang dumating si Papa kasama ang Kuya Macky.
"Sure thing, Captain! Halatang-halata sa genes talaga. Kung hawig ni Ma'am si Darshana, your son here, Captain Marcus got your face, Cap." She smiled and referred to my brother.
"I'm lucky, I guess..." Papa agreed and placed his hand on my Mama's waist. "After everything that has happened in the past, I'm lucky to have my family."
"Oh, you deserve only good things and fortune so much, Captain. You're good to us, we are all grateful to you, kahit muntik nang magkaproblema noon dito sa airlines, you did your very best not to give this up. Look kung nasaan na tayo?"
"You're welcome, my parents helped me too in saving our airlines, kung wala sila ay mahihirapan din ako."
I saw my Mama rested her head on Papa's shoulder, napangiti si Papa roon at mas humawak kay Mama.
"Anyway, Mrs. Mercado, how's my daughter? Have you seen boys around?" ani Papa kaya natigilan na ako.
"Pa!" I hissed and they laughed, napailing si Ma'am at napabaling sa akin kaya ngumiti ako ng alanganin, kabado bente na.
"Well, I saw some passengers hitting on her at times pero wala pa naman akong nakikitang boyfriend, Captain," aniya at napahugot ako ng hininga, mas lumaki ang ngisi ko roon at tumango kay Papa.
"Opo nga, Papa. Ayaw kasi maniwala. Good girl kaya ako." I smiled at him.
"Hmm, that's good." Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "Kapag ikaw may boyfriend ng 'di ko alam..."
Marami na, Pa. Pero secret lang.
"S-sasabihin ko, promise!" I even raised my hand kaya natawa si Mama at umiling.
"Dash Rakiel, let your daughter, malaki na 'yan," ani Mama.
"Tss, baby girl ko pa rin 'yan," aniya kaya napatawa kaming dalawa.
"Si Audette, Pa?" I asked my father, referring to my youngest sister.
"Nasa babysitter niya, Daru," aniya. "Nasa bahay, baka mapagod sa biyahe kaya 'di na namin sinama. We'll bring her later sa party sa kina Kuya Raf."
After a few talks, my family decided to finally let me go, kaagad akong sinalubong ni Lilah na may ngiti.
"Uuwi na sila?" she asked, glancing at my family walking away kaya tumango ako.
"Yes, may party kasi mamaya kaya tutulong sila sa pag-aayos." I smiled.
"Oh? Sino? May birthday?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, birthday ng anak nina Tito Iñigo."
"Oh, the twins? Crest and Alchiel?" aniya kaya nanlaki ang mata ko.
"Oh, paano mo nakilala?" I asked, confused.
She was stunned but recovered with a small smile on her lips.
"I saw on the internet, your uncle's a great lawyer, right? Pati ang kanyang anak? So..."
Napatango ako sa kanya at sabay kaming naglakad palayo.
"Yes, birthday no'ng kambal kaya may handaan sa kina Tita."
"So, you mean, buong pamilya n'yo nando'n?" She inquired.
"Hopefully, may mga trabaho kasi ang iba pero I hope na yes, sana makompleto kami."
She nodded, kumapit siya sa braso ko kaya napangiti na ako.
"Anyway, your parents, ilang taon na silang kasal?" She asked kaya nilingon ko siya.
"I am not sure? More that twenty years na siguro kasi bago pa pinanganak ang Kuya kasal na sila ni Mama."
"I saw how you bond with your mother, close na close kayo, ano?"
"Yes, close ko silang lahat but I guess mas close ako kay Mama. We often talk a lot about life and things like that. She's a professor too kaya magaling magsalita at mag-advise." I chuckled. "My father and brother are a bit nagger when it comes to boys, you know. They all can turn ballistic and Mama is the only calm person sa pamilya."
"And ideal n'yo talaga," she said and glanced at me. "What if nagkaproblema kayo?"
"Huh?" I stopped, suprised by her question. "Why would we?"
"'Di ba, sabi mo normal lang sa pamilya 'yon? May problema na ba kayo noon na sobra? Things like that? Not that I want it to happen, ah? I was just curious."
"Wala pa naman, just a simple misunderstandings na naaayos namin with right communication. Sana naman walang problema na gano'n, let's pray na h'wag mangyari."
"Sana nga wala." She smiled coldly.
Sa buong flight namin ay naging abala kaming lahat, may mga bata kaming passenger kaya hindi maiwasang may mga umiiyak o kaya'y suka nang suka which is understandable, pagod na ako pagkarating ng lunch kaya thankful talaga ako na hilig ni Chance ngayon na gawan ako ng lunch, lalo na kapag hectic ang schedule ko.
"Wow, may packed lunch ka ulit?" ani Lilah nang dumating ang lunch time kaya ngumisi ako at tinawag siya.
"Tara rito, kain tayo! Masarap ang luto." I smiled at inilabas ang mga baunan. She sat beside me, inilalagay ang tray ng pagkaing binili niya.
"Ikaw, huh, madalas ang lunch mo. Sinong nagbibigay?" She asked, smiling. I opened the lunch box.
"Chance," I said and her lips parted a bit. "Secret lang, ah?" I chuckled.
"O-okay..." She laughed before placing her plate on the table. "Ikaw, huh? Talagang close na close kayo ni Chance? Kayo na ba?"
"Huh? No, not really..." Natawa na ako at nagtubig ang bagang habang binubuksan ang ibang container at nakikita ang pagkain na niluluto niya.
I saw a folded paper inside the paper bag kaya in-open ko iyon at napasinghap nang mabuksan ang papel at bumungad sa akin ang nasa loob.
My heart violently raced.
It was a quick sketch of me, walang kulay at lapis lang pero kitang-kita ko ang mukha ko. it was just until my neck, nakahiga ata ako roon at nakangiti, medyo nakakalat ang mahabang buhok sa magulong kama.
Wow...it reminded me of his sketch on the tissue paper when we first saw each other again. I still keep it in my drawer!
"Wow! He... he made it for you?" ani Lilah na sinilip ang drawing.
I was amazed and shocked, natatawang tumango ako at kinagat-kagat ang labi.
"I guess?" I said, my heart pounding with happiness. I saw something written below kaya binasa ko iyon.
Eat well, beautiful. This is for you.
I saw his sign below the sketch at halos yakapin ko na ang papel sa sobrang tuwa ko.
"Ang sweet naman! Alam ba ng parents mo 'yan, good girl?" she teased kaya ngumisi ako at umiling.
"Ikaw lang, secret lang natin 'to, ah?" I grinned at her while giggling. She nodded.
"No worries, this will be a secret," aniya. "Bakit, ano na ba kayo ngayon?"
"Uh, we're not totally kami, you know? Medyo magulo but pasado na kami sa MU, hindi ko siya boyfriend but maybe, we'll get there. I hope. Isa pa, I have to make sure of us first before telling it to my family. You know my father and brother, they thought I was a good girl pero scam pala." Natawa kami roon.
"Are you planning to tell him?" She asked. I nodded.
"S'yempre. Chance is a good guy but I have to make sure of his feelings for me first. I should remain a good girl in my family's eyes. They taught and trained us well, ever since we were kids, na maging mabuti at palaging nakikinig sa sinasabi nila. It's kinda frustrating at times but I understand them, gusto lang nila kaming maging better and they looked up to me, I can't let them down."
Muli kong tinitigan ang sketch at 'di na napansing nagsasalita na pala siya.
"Totoo pala ang kasabihan, 'no?" she said. "Caged animals are the wildest."
"Hmm?" I glanced at her, confused about what she's saying. She smiled.
"Wala, wala, may kakilala lang kasi ako..." She chuckled and fixed her utensils. "Na... mabait daw kunwari pero nasa loob ang kulo."
Pagkatapos ng mga flights ko ay kaagad akong umuwi sa condo para mag-ayos ng damit para sa birthday party ng mga pinsan ko. I made the two of them gifts noong nakaraan pa kaya hindi na ako nahirapan doon.
Nag-taxi ako patungo sa mansyon nina Tito Iñigo at natuwa ako nang sinalubong kaagad ako ng mga pinsan pagkarating.
The mansion is packed with our relatives, kompleto kami sa araw na iyon at maging ang Mama Lena at Papa Jer ay kasama rin namin dito. Nag-bless ako at nakipag-usap saglit bago nakipagkulitan sa mga pinsan kong best friend ko na rin.
"Grabe, Darshana, masarap ba ang jugjug?" Nawala na ang ngisi ko sa bibig ni Zirena.
"Zire!" I hissed and Scira laughed, shaking her head at her.
"Pagpasensyahan mo na at nawawala na naman sa sarili si Zire," ani Scira na hinawi pa ang buhok.
"Bakit mo naman sa akin tinatanong?" I asked. "As if, hilig ko naman 'yan?"
"Tangi, ikaw lang ang may experience sa ating bruha ka—" I gasped and covered her mouth, nakita kong napapasulyap sa amin ang ibang pinsan kaya hilaw akong ngumisi at hinila ang mga pinsan.
"Secret lang, shh!" I hissed at nanlaki ang mata ni Zire. She nodded slowly.
"Oh, sorry. Sorry." She grinned. Si Scira ay nailing at nagsalita.
"Pagpasensyahan mo na at curious, she told me she went to your airport no'ng nakaraan para sunduin ang kapatid niya," aniya. "Kaso nga..."
"What?" I asked and glanced at Zire curiously.
"Girl, may nakita ata akong nagju-jugjugan sa parking lot!" aniya kaya halos lumuwa na ang mata ko roon.
"W-what?" My jaw dropped.
"Doon ako dumaan sa may parking lot kasi nga ro'n ako binaba ng driver, s'yempre, papunta na ako sa waiting area pero Daru, nakita ko 'yong isang kotse doon umuuga!" She exclaimed.
Hindi ako kaagad nakasagot, nakanganga lang ako at kumukurap-kurap sa kanya.
"Sinabi ko nga na baka 'di naman nag-you know?" Scira shrugged. "Baka masyado ka lang green minded, Zire."
"No! I knew they're doing it, Scira!" Zire retorted. "Ang OA naman na ganoon 'yong paggalaw ng sasakyan, 'di ba?"
I suddenly remembered what we did last time inside Chance's car.
"K-kailan?" I cleared my throat.
"Medyo matagal-tagal na, eh," aniya at humawak sa baba niya. "I'm not sure when pero naalala ko pa ang sasakyan."
"W-what color?" I asked, naiisip na baka sa amin nga iyon.
"Black," aniya kaya nanlaki ang mata ko at halos mabulunan na ng laway. I covered my mouth, napasinghap naman ang dalawa at tumakbo si Scira para sa tubig at bumalik sa akin.
I drank it, I noticed Zire eyeing me with her curious eyes kaya tumikhim ako, nag-iinit man ang pisngi ay nagsalita.
"B-baka naman hindi? I mean, baka nga green minded ka lang?" I suggested, making her pout. She scratched her eyebrow.
"I don't know, maybe? Pero girl, nararamdaman ko sa kaibuturan ko na may nangyayaring kababalaghan." She said and titled her head. "So, ano nga? Masarap ba talaga?"
I slowly nodded, napatili naman ang dalawa sa harapan ko at naghawak pa ng kamay, umiling ako at kinagat ang labi.
"P-pero ano... I don't know now, it's not that I did that again with him," I mumbled. They gave me a ridiculous look.
"Ay, weh? 'Di na kayo talaga nagkita ulit?" ani Zire at kinagat ko ang labi at bahagyang umiling.
Fuck. I'm going to hell for lying!
Pagkapasok namin sa mansyon ay naroon na si Kuya Chiel, I saw him talking to Ate Clyte kaya lumapit ako at bumati.
"Hi, Kuya! Happy birthday!" I greeted happily.
"Thank you, Darsh." He offered me his arms kaya yumakap ako at humalik sa kanyang pisngi.
"Where's Ate Crest?" I asked, making him chuckle.
"Upstairs, you know, girls. Still stressing about her outfit, kasama si Mom at Adira,"
"Ang gift ko, Kuya, nandoon na," I said and pointed the table where the other gifts are at tumango siya at nagpasalamat.
I said hi to Ate Clyte and my other cousins, tawang-tawa kami nang bumaba si Ate Crest, Adira at Tita Thallia mula sa itaas. They are all wearing sexy yet alike dresses. Mukha silang magkakapatid lang habang bumababa roon at napailing ako, they looked so beautiful and adorable!
I saw Tito Iñigo at Kuya Chiel crossing their arms while looking at the three gorgeous woman, mukhang problemado sa mga suot pero wala namang sinabi at nakabusangot lang.
"You're such an oldie, Iñigo." Tawa ni Tita habang niyayakap siya ni Tito at tinatakpan ng katawan nito ang baywang niyang litaw na.
"You're so sexy, I can't..." Tito whined, making us laugh.
"Happy birthday, Ate Crest. You are so pretty!" I cheered when I saw her. She grinned at me, nagpamaywang pa kaya nakitang lalo ang baywang niya.
"Sexy pa rin ba, Darsh?" She teased.
"Yes, super ganda! Pahingi naman ng kagandahan, Ate!" I giggled. We both hugged each other, I kissed her cheek and greeted Tita Thallia and Adira, embracing them.
Dumating din ang kapatid ni Tita Thallia kasama ang kanyang pamilya. I saw Tita Natalie too with her husband and sons, she's a famous fashion designer and I remembered the gown I wore back in the senior prom was made from her boutique.
"These are my cousins," ani Adira na ipinapakilala ang mga pinsan niya sa side ni Tita sa amin. "Angelo and Blaze."
I smiled while talking to them, nakipagkamay pa ako sa dalawa roon.
"I'm Blaze, you are?" ani ng isang gwapo kaya ngumiti ako at tinanggap ang kamay niya.
"Darshana." I smiled. "Nice meeting you, Blaze."
Malaki ang ngisi ko sa mga gwapo sa harapan pero kaagad iyong napawi nang makita kung sino ang papasok.
My jaw dropped when I saw Chance entering the room, his cold brown eyes were on me the exact moment my hands were holding Blaze's.
His jaw clenched, tumaas ang kilay niya sa akin at kumalabog ang puso ko, mabilis na ngumisi at kinuha ang kamay ko mula kay Blaze, kinakabahan na.
Chance Ford Salcedo is with his family, I saw his father beside him and I almost cursed when I realized how good-looking they were. Even in his age, his father looks dashing like him, parehas pa silang may dimples! Santisima!
His mother is also beside him, his two sisters were there too. Kaagad kong namukhaan si Eirene na mas gumanda lalo ngayon. Their youngest is also here and she has cute dimples too!
"Uy, gwapo, sino 'yan?" ani Zire sa tabi ko habang nakamasid din kay Chance na bumabati kina Kuya Chiel at Ate Crest.
"Gwapo? Saan?" ani Scira na dumungaw din sa tabi ko.
"'Yon, oh—"
"Wala," I said and cleared my throat, naguguluhan na napatingin sa akin ang dalawa kaya ngumisi lang ako at umiling. "'Di naman gwapo, saks lang. H'wag n'yo na tignan."
"Oh? Saan ba kasi?" ani Scira pero umiling lang ako at hinawi ang mahaba at kinulot na buhok.
"Wala, sabi ko, tara at magsimula ng kumain," anyaya ko.
After we sang a happy birthday song to the twins, we sat at the table.
Dahil madami nga kami ay s'yempre, hindi kami magkakasama lang sa isang table. Gusto ko sana sumama sa table nina Mama kasama sina Tita Zidney pero gusto kong malapit ako kay Chance kaya ni-recruit ko ang dalawang pinsan ko na sumama sa akin sa table nina Ate Crest.
It was a bit awkward since hindi namin masyadong close and sa side ni Tita Thallia na kamag-anak since ngayon ko lang sila nakita talaga, puwera siguro kay Chance na nasa may tapat ko nakaupo at kanina pa nakatitig sa akin.
I pursed my lips and glanced at him, parang may hidden electricity ang mga mata namin na nang magkatinginan ay parang may kuryente.
He's staring at me, looking a bit annoyed. I know it's because of Blaze, when he saw us doing a handshake pero wala lang iyon at napakaseloso talaga ni Tatay Chance.
I smiled at him sweetly but he just licked his lower lip and glanced at his food, deliberately ignoring me.
Sungit naman! Lolo na talaga!
Katabi niya ang Dad niya, they completely looked alike. Like twins in different timelines. Habang nakatingin sa Dad niya ay na-imagine ko na kung anong magiging mukha ni Chance pagnaka-edad pa. Gwapo pa rin.
I noticed Eirene's knowing stares at me, nanlaki pa ang mata niya pero ngumiti lang ako sa kanya at tumango. She didn't say anything and silently watched me, bumaling siya kay Chance bago ngumuso at bumaling sa pagkain.
Kumuha ako ng sausage at iilang ulam at maliit na portion ng rice sa plano ko, I heard Tita Thallia talking to her sisters.
"Ally, malalaki na pala talaga ang mga anak mo, ah?" I heard Tita Thallia said and the beautiful woman, Chance's mother smiled and nodded.
"Oo nga, eh." She chuckled. "Eirene is working, itong Georgina ko ay nasa kolehiyo pa lang and my oldest, Chance..." Napasulyap ako sa kanila at nakita ko ang pag-ngiti ni Chance kay Tita Thallia.
"He's an artist, have you seen his artworks?"
"I did, Tita!" Ate Crest said and smiled at her. "No'ng last year pumunta kami ni Chiel sa exhibit niya, famous na famous itong pinsan namin, oh."
Chance smiled and smirked. "Thanks, Crest. I should give you more VIP tickets."
"Oh, of course." She answered. "Dagdagan mo na since my cousin here... Darshana." Nagulat ako nang ituro ako ni Ate. "She loves art too, no'ng nakaraang ticket na hiningi ko sa 'yo? She took it!"
Napatingin sila sa aking lahat, kumalabog ang puso ko roon at napalunok. Kasama na ro'n si Chance na OA makatingin! Titig na titig ang gago! Mas nagwala ang puso ko sa kaba.
"Have you seen my son's artworks, hija?" Chance's handsome father called my attention kaya halos mapatalon ako roon pero tumango-tango.
"Y-yes po," I answered, trying my best not to be nervous. "He's great po! Uhm, I saw his works! Ang galing-galing po ng anak n'yo!" I even glanced at his mother who smiled at me sweetly.
Magaling saan, Daru?! Saan?! Saan?!
"Really?"
"Opo, the best!" I said and glanced at Chance and saw him licking his lower lip, hiding a smile on his lips.
"Thank you, bab—Miss Sandejas." He smiled darkly at me, his dimples deepened at ngumisi lang ako, kinakabahan pa at binaba ang tingin sa pagkain ko.
"Ay, puring-puri?" Zire suddenly whispered kaya siniko ko siya at natawa lang ang huli.
I silently listened to their talks, si Tito ay kinausap din ang Papa ni Chance doon at ang isa pang gwapong lalaki. Tita Thallia and her siblings are talking to each other too kaya itinuon ko ang atensyon ko sa pagkain sa plato ko.
They talked about their sons and daughters, tahimik lang ako habang nakiki-tsismis doon.
"Even my Alchiel here," ani Tita at tinuro si Kuya Chiel. "Wala pang girlfriend kahit hindi na bumabata." I saw my cousin almost choke on his food kaya napangiti ako.
"Mom!" Kuya hissed and Tita only shook her head.
"Well, my Crest here loves boys a lot, I just don't know if she's settling down or what? Ayaw kasing magsabi and my youngest, Adira, she wants to be a lawyer too like her brother and father."
"Parehas tayo," ani Tita Allison doon. "My oldest, Chance, I don't know if this man has plans of settling down, sinabi ko na nga na 'di na siya bumabata."
Natigilan na ako sa usapang Chance nila, hindi ko natuloy ang paghati sa sausage at napaangat ng tingin.
"Ma..." Chance called. "Don't—"
"Oh no, anak." Tita Allison shook her head. "You're not getting any younger, I understand you love arts so much but that doesn't mean na d'yan lang iikot ang mundo mo, you need a family too."
"Parehas sila ni Chiel." Tawanan nila kaya ngumuso lang at napakamot ang pinsan ko ng batok.
"It's not that I'm single, Mom. I'm just waiting—"
"Anong waiting, go make a move if you like someone, Chiel. Hindi ka na bumabata," ani Tito Iñigo.
"As if it was easy," Kuya muttered.
"Ganyan talaga ang mga kabataan ngayon," I heard Tita Natalie said. "Mapaglaro kapag mga bata pa pero kapag tumatanda na ay at saka nagseseryoso sa gusto nila at minsan ay wala ng oras sa relasyon."
"Tama 'yan," Tita Allison said. "I remembered Chance, para itong Tatay niya noon, eh. Babaero."
I froze, nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Chance na halos mabulunan na sa iniinom nang makita akong nakatingin.
He swallowed miserably, trying to talk to me with his eyes but I couldn't comprehend it–not planning to.
"I'm not a womanizer, baby." Chance's father smiled.
"Sus, pareho kayo niyang si Chance. I remembered way back." Natawa si Tita Allison at bumaling kina Tita Thallia. "Chance is really something, he has girls, a lot of them when he's about in his early twenties."
My eyes sharpened as I eyed Chance na mukhang nababalisa na roon sa harapan ko.
"Ma..." he warned and tried touching her pero ngumisi lang si Tita roon.
"Oh, and here's the thing! Way back, if tama ang pagkakaalala ko? His teacher called me and said he kissed his classmate! 'Yong best friend niya dati sa school, it's Del, I guess?" She chuckled at umayos na ako ng upo roon at humigpit ang hawak sa aking tinidor.
"Ma..." Chance glanced at me nervously and at his mother. "Stop it—"
"And I asked him why he kissed his classmate, sabi niya, she's pretty." Tawa ni Tita. "I even remembered how Del's guardian called me and said panagutan daw ni Chance ang classmate niya."
Nagtawanan sila pero mas nainis lang ako sa narinig.
Kiss, huh? Ang gagong 'to...
Mariing tinusok ko ang tinidor sa sausage sa plato ko. My plate almost got crushed with the intensity of my move, nakita kong natigilan sila roon at sabay-sabay na napatingin sa akin.
Chance froze, his shoulders squared. Nanlaki ang mata niya habang nakatingin sa akin kaya ngumiti ako ng matamis bago bumaling sa kanya at kay Tita Thallia.
"Sorry po but, Tita?" I called and glanced at her, napakurap si Tita Thallia at sumagot.
"Yes, Daru?" aniya kaya mas tinusok ko ang tinidor sa sausage at siniguradong makikita iyon ni Chance.
"May mas malaking kutsilyo po kayo?" I asked softly at my auntie looks confused for a while but nodded at me.
"Yes, mayro'n? What are you going to do with it, hija?" She asked.
I slowly glanced at Chance in front of me who's now unmoving, nakaawang ang kanyang bibig at nakita ko marahas na paglunok niya habang nakatingin sa akin.
"Pahiram lang sana, Tita. 'Yong kutsilyong matulis sana, 'yong kayang pumutol ng malaking sausage." I said, smiling sweetly at the pale jejemaster in front of me.
