"D-Damn it..." I spread my legs more, grasping his hair as he delved his tongue inside my wet folds.
"Shit, Sol..." I groaned more when he gripped my legs more, pulling me closer so he could eat me better.
I wasn't so sure what to do or where to grasp but his hair. It happened so damn fast! We were just kissing when he carried me and the next thing I know was him carrying me to bed, kissing me senseless until he knelt on the floor while I was seated on the edge of the bed, going down on me.
He kissed my thighs, each with careful and precise gentleness. Tho, he didn't need to be a gentleman tonight.
He then locked gazes at me when he successfully lifted my dress and saw my undies.
"Wala kang shorts, Sandejas?" he asked.
"Do I really need to, Mr. Alejo?" I smirked, "I'm really not a fan of shorts. Bumabakat sa dress ko."
"Ano? H'wag mong sabihing madalas ka lang naka-underwear?"
"Yeah, why, baby? Do you prefer it more ba if I'm not wearing one?" I gave him a knowing look but it backfired when he ripped my panties like a beast and kissed me in there without warning.
And now? I'm in the verge of reaching the highest cloud.
"S-Sol... oh, gosh..." I gripped his hair tighter, feeling hotter now as I grind my pussy on his mouth, calling his name desperately. "S-Sol, please..."
"Hmm?" that hum vibrated on my core, sending me to edge. "Please what?" bulong niya, inaangat ang tingin sa akin.
"You..." I gritted my teeth, "why the hell did you stop?"
Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya at senswal na binasa ang pang-ibabang labi.
"Para saan 'yong please?" tanong niya, akala mo ay walang kaalam-alam. I glared at him. His lip twitched.
"Are you seriously gonna ask?" I hissed, nagkibit-balikat siya at halos mapahiga ako nang inangat niya ang hita ko at pinatong sa balikat niya.
"Curious lang naman," aniya bago humawak sa baywang ko. "So, please saan?"
"Holy geez?" hinilamos ko ang palad, masama siyang tinitigan. "You want me to say it, Alejo?"
He looked so fucking sexy on that disheveled hair and silly smirk.
"Yes, angel," he kissed my thigh on his shoulder, still not breaking eye contact. "I want you to tell me what you want me to do with that pussy of yours..."
That thick sexy accent and vulgar words almost made me flip and moan in orgasm. I stopped myself and doing so and stared at him instead. I lifted my finger and traced his eyes down his lips, swallowing hard.
"I want these sweet lips of yours kissing my pussy, that tongue fucking me." I said straightforwardly, without any inhibitions.
The dark and naughty glint filled his already dark eyes. Nakita ko ang pagpula ng mukha niya sa halong gulat sa sinabi ko at sa init na nararamdaman niya rin panigurado.
"Sino ba naman ako para humindi?" his finger reached my sensitive bud. I gripped the edge of the bed. "If my angel wanted to fuck, we will fuck." He inserted his one finger inside.
"Fuck..." my legs straightened on his shoulder.
"Open your pretty eyes, angel." I opened it and met with his intense gaze. "Gusto mo 'to? You want my finger in this wet pussy?"
"Y-Yes... yes, fuck yes!" nahulog na ako nang tuluyan nang gumalaw ang daliri niya sa loob ko. I twitched and gasped loudly, pulling the sheets while feeling his finger and lips fucking me in there at the same time.
I have never thought feeling this pleasure so intense. He kissed me there, tongue-fucked me, fingered me. I couldn't remember clearly how he did that in order—the only thing I could remember is how he made me feel, how I begged for my release and how I called his name while he's eating me.
I convulsed twice—three times. I couldn't count anymore.
Nang matapos na siya ay umayos ako ng upo kahit nanghihina ang hita, nag-aangat ng tingin para pagmasdan siya pero 'yon na lang ang pag-awang ng labi ko nang halikan niya lang ako ng malalim at binalot ako ng kumot.
"Sol?" I asked, locking gazes with him.
"Hmm?" he whispered, removing the strands of my hair to tuck it behind my hair.
"Why? I thought we'll..." he cut me off by kissing my lips again, gentle, sweet and slow.
"Hindi pa sa ngayon, angel," aniya kaya tinulak ko na siya.
"What?" I whined, "why n-not?"
"Sinabi ko na sa 'yo, hindi pa oras," hinaplos niya ang pisngi ko, malambing ang mga mata. "Magpapaalam pa ako kay Sir Zeijan, magtatapos ng aral at magtatrabaho para mabigyan ka ng magandang buhay."
Ngumuso ako, "I don't care about any of it. I'm sure of you, Sol. I'm never so sure of anyone else in my life until you came."
Lumunok siya at bumaba ang tingin sa dibdib ko. I know he could see how my nipples hardened beneath my night dress. Nag-iwas siya at humawak sa batok niya.
"I respect you, angel." Bumuntonghininga siya, "ayaw kong isipin mo na nilalapitan lang kita at sinusuyo para d'yan. I have greater plans for us, ayaw kong... magkamali."
My heart tugged warmly. Hinuli ko ang pisngi niya at pinakatitigan siya.
"Mahal mo ba 'ko?" he nodded without hesitations, his eyes gentle and filled with love.
"Mahal na mahal," bulong niya at pinatong ang noo sa akin. "Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag wala ka kaya gusto kong magsumikap para may maipagmalaki ako sa 'yo. Para maging deserve kita."
"You don't have to do anything to deserve me, baby," I whispered, locking gazes at him. My eyes swelled. "Just be Solomon. That's enough for me."
He kissed me briefly, licking my lower lip before entering my mouth. I tasted myself on it and gasped more loudly, slowly pushing him until I'm straddling him.
I cupped him there gently, feeling how large he grew.
"Sibyl..."
"You're hard," I whispered and grinded myself on it.
"Fuck..." napasandal siya sa head board at naipikit ang mata niya, inaabot ang baywang ko. "Angel..."
"You're hard, ayaw mo ba?" I cupped his jaw until we're locking gazes again and I caught how those sexy eyes burned for me.
For me. Mine.
"Gusto..." binasa niya ang labi, "pero..."
"Pero?" humalik ako sa panga niya pababa sa kanyang leeg at muling kumagat.
"Tang ina, Sandejas, anong ginagawa mo sa 'kin..." when his grip tightened more on my waist, I smirked playfully and grinded myself more on his erection.
"You felt that, baby?" dinala ko ang palad niya sa pagitan ng hita ko, napapaigtad nang maramdaman ang gaspang niya roon. "Feel how dripping wet I am for you?"
"H'wag mo 'kong sisimulan, Sandejas," he inserted a digit when I purred. "Kapag nasimulan kita sisiguraduhin kong hindi ka makakalakad kinabukasan..."
"Who's stopping you, then?" I opened my eyes. I felt the strap of my night dress falling and I let it. One of my breast came into view and the desire burned more on his eyes.
"Come on, Sol. I love you being a gentleman but I want it more when you wanted to fuck this attitude out of me." Kinagat ko ang labi nang mas lumalim ang daliri niya sa loob ko't mas bumilis.
"Come on..." I moved his head closer, smirking like a champion when he took one of my nipples inside his mouth. "You like it, my baby?"
"Nakakainis ka, Sibyl," bulong niya pero gigil na humalik sa dibdib ko kaya natawa ako at inangat ang mukha niya para maamo siyang tignan.
"Ayaw mo ba?" I pouted. "Sayang naman ang offer? One time, big time?"
He crashed my lips with his again. I shifted on my seat when he withdrawn his finger inside of me, annoyed for the sudden move but burned way more anyway when he replaced his lips with his finger inside my mouth.
I sucked on it. I made sure I'm feeding his fantasy while he's watching me with those horny eyes.
"What, baby? Take it or leave it?" I playfully asked but that playfulness faded when he shifted our position.
He pushed me on the bed, moving on top of me while I watch him pulling his belt and unzipping his pants and hell... I gulped hard.
"You want this, angel?" he asked darkly while sensually pumping his cock. "Gusto mo 'to sa loob mo?"
Namimilog ang mata ko habang nakatitig doon pero tumango-tango rin, walang pagdadalawang-isip. I was dripping so much while imagining him inside me.
"Yes..." I whispered. He moved and kissed me again while his erection's moving slowly against my folds, teasing.
"Sabihin mo sa 'kin anong gusto mong gawin ko," bulong niya at bumaba ang halik sa leeg ko. He pulled my dress up and tweaked my hardened nipples.
"I-I want..." I moaned desperately, "I want you inside me..."
"Inside of what?" he asked and smiled on my skin, "inside what, my angel baby?"
"Inside me..." I felt his tip but it vanished again, teasing me more. "Fuck it, Alejo! I want that cock pounding inside me!"
"Uh-huh... bastos 'yang bibig mo, señorita." He flicked my lips.
"I know," ngumuso ako, "do you wanna fuck these pretty lips, too?"
When he eyed me sharply, I grinned like a brat but the same time, I felt him entered me. Umawang ang labi ko at napaigtad.
"Where's that attitude now, angel?" humalakhak siya at pinirmi ang baywang ko, "where is it?"
"Nandito pa," umungol ako at ginalaw ang baywang ko. "This attitude won't lessen unless you pound me hard and wild. It won't vanish until you fuck this attitude—damn it!" kumapit ako sa kanya.
"We have to fix that attitude," he moved inside me, filling me to the core. "You're amusing whenever you're showing me that attitude but it's more amusing taming my little pretty devil, hmm?"
"Fuck you, Sol," bumaon ang kuko ko sa balikat niya.
"I'm currently doing it, angel. But still, thank you for reminding me. Let me do the right job now, angel."
When he started pounding, I could hear my helpless moans and groans. The headboard moved back and forth, pounding against the wall with his intense thrusts.
Laking pasalamat kong kaming dalawa lang ang nasa malaking mansyon na 'to ngayon at kung may nakarinig? Baka maisip nilang may exorcism na rito at sinasaniban na talaga ako ng demonyo sa lakas ng ungol ko sa pangalan ni Solomon.
He thrusted in and out of me with no mercy. I could hear the loud slaps of our skin and our sweet sweat joining as we kissed and touched each other.
My stomach churned and came with no warning and a few moments after me, Sol pulled his cock out, pumping it on my stomach, spilling me himself.
"Tang ina," bulong niya at binaon ang mukha sa leeg ko. "Sorry, angel. Hindi ko naisip na ganito..."
Pagod na tumawa ako at pinaraan ang ilong sa pisngi ni Sol, dinadama ang init niya.
"I love you," I whispered.
"Papakasalan kita," I didn't expect this night would be sweeter when he said those. Nagkatitigan kami at hinuli niya ang labi ko para sa halik.
"Really?"
"Hmm..." muli siyang humalik, "ilang linggo na lang matatapos na ang huling taon ko sa kolehiyo. May maganda akong offer kaagad dahil sa grado at makakapag-ipon pa ako para sa pag-aaral ni Fritz atsaka sa 'yo. Pero s'yempre, magpapaalam ako kay Sir Zeijan, panigurado may tyansang papatayin ako no'n pero... magpapakasal ka pa rin ba sa malamig na bangkay?"
I laughed loudly, shocking me I'm capable of doing that.
"Silly, baby. Dad's weird and overreacting, I could attest how he could be overly ballistic pero 'di ka naman mamamatay. Mababalian, oo. Pero ayos lang, bibisitahin naman kita sa ospital."
We ended up laughing like idiots, my heart never felt calmer that before. Ang saya-saya ko. Sobra. I could tear up in happiness, wishing I could wrap this on my fingers and never let go.
"Pero sorry, nagkalat pa ako," nagmumura si Sol habang nililinisan ako habang nakahiga ako at suot na niyang muli ang pantalon niya.
"Excited ka kasi," ngumisi ako.
"Hindi ko naman kasi iniisip na ganito, Sandejas. Pagbabayarin lang sana kita sa pag-iwan mo ng chikinini sa leeg ko."
Mas lumakas ang tawa ko nang bumusangot siya.
"Nakita nina Peter! Tang ina, 'di ko alam paano sasabihin kaya paliwanag ko na nakagat ng insekto! Ni hindi ko nga alam na may gano'n. Naitago ko 'yong umbok sa pantalon ko sa kalokohan mo pero 'yong kiss mark..." he glared at me, I smiled proudly at my work of art.
"I'm a dancer but I could be an artist, sometimes." I winked.
"Brat," he smirked lazily, gently wrapping me on the blanket after cleaning me. "Pero sorry, Sib. Balak ko lang talaga parusahan ka sa kalokohan mong papamagain ko lang 'yang labi mo sa halik pero... ikaw kasi."
"Ako pa?!" I touched my chest. "But don't you have condoms around? You know? Boy things?"
"You don't expect me to take condoms with me and fuck everywhere because I don't," umiling siya't ngumuso sa akin. "Marami pa akong priority sa buhay kaya wala na 'yan sa isip ko pero dumating kang... pasaway ka." He flicked my forehead.
My lips protruded more.
"Malay ko bang kahinaan mo ang kagandahang 'to?" my smile widened more when he rested beside me and pulled me closer until I'm resting on his arm and locking eyes with him. "But from now on, I want you to bring condoms, ah?"
He eyed me suspiciously, "h'wag mong sabihing... hindi, Sibyl Timothea. Isa lang."
"Whaaattt?" I whined and kicked my feet. "No!"
Umiling siya at ngumisi.
"Please? Please? Please?" I pouted more and gave him a puppy look.
"Nope..."
"Solomon!" irit ko, "sige na, please? Minsan lang?"
I must have my charms and was lucky enough because Sol was so weak in it. He agreed buying condoms after some kissing and making out in bed. Well, I asked him while I'm sucking him, sino ba naman siya para ayawan ako?
I cackled evilly.
Patay na patay ata talaga sa akin itong si Solomon. Sa bagay, maganda kasi ako.
The next days, I was with him in the university to join the fun. May mga booth sa Agri Week nila, si Sol din ay nagpapaliwanag sa akin ng kung paano ang tamang pagpapalago ng sakahan o kahit anong pananim. He was even the speaker in behalf of his department no'ng dumating ang guests nila galing DOA.
I was watching him with Fritz on the third day, my jaw dropped. I know he's hot in person and bed pero kapag nagsasalita siya sa entablado at sinasagot ang mga tanong at concern ay unti-unting lumuluwang ang garter ng panty ko.
He speaks with finality and passion. He speaks his heart out, he knows what he's saying! The way his thick English accent glided smoothly from his tongue made me swoon.
I'm never been grateful to Dad for sending me here in province. If nasa Maynila pa siguro ako, baka nakipagsaksakan na ako sa bashers kapag hindi ko na kinaya ang pumirmi.
We had a date. Umikot kami sa bayan at nakitang may magandang kwintas. It has a black swan for a pendant shaped like the letter S. I asked the shop how much it was and it's not quite pricey for me—fifteen thousand—but still, I don't have money for it right now.
I'm grounded, remember?
"Ganda, 'no? Gusto mo?" ani Sol nang umalis kami sa shop na nakanguso ako.
"Hmm? Yeah," I nodded. "I'll buy it soon but not right now, grounded pa 'ko. Sana hindi mabili."
Sol nodded, his eyes lingered on the shop for a moment before he put his arm around my shoulder.
"Gusto mo kumain? May bagong bukas na coffee shop," aniya.
It was fun but sometimes, I was concerned dahil napapadalas na ang gala namin ni Sol at hindi niya ako pinagbabayad kahit nagpipresenta ako. He said he wanted to treat me and enjoy the date, that I shouldn't mind the money because he kept some enough for our activities.
I doubt it. One time, niyaya ko si Liza na samahan ako at may bibilhin. Nasa traysikel kami no'ng nakita ko si Sol, naglalakad sa gilid ng kalsada at mukhang pauwi. Hindi ko natawag sa bilis ng traysikel pero nag-text ako, nagtatanong nasaan siya at ang sagot niya'y nasa traysikel daw pauwi.
I didn't press him about it and stayed quiet. I convinced him we could dine in the house instead, lutuan niya lang ako o kaya manuod kami ng palabas at for some time, we're doing it. Nga lang, may oras pa ring gusto niyang mag-ikot kami at ayaw niyang nababagot ako.
We practiced for Fritz activity. Sol was studying hard while I'm practicing at the same time for my audition. Kapag free siya palagi niya akong inaayang mag-date, kumakain kami kung saan, binibilhan niya ako ng kung ano-anong pasalubong—na halos may kinalaman sa kape.
I gifted him with the shirts and ballerina and summer dresses for Fritz. Sinabi niyang sana 'di na ako nag-abala at nahihiya pang tanggapin pero malakas ang convincing skills ko.
He kissed me for his thank you that ended up with a mind-blowing sex. I was pressed on the wall, my leg is up with him gripping my thigh and thrusting inside of me.
Oh, I love my life. I wanted to stay here forever.
"You ready, darling?" ngumiti ako kay Fritz habang nakadukwang sa kanyang harapan.
"P-Po? Yes po, Ate." Ngumiti siya, determinado pero namumutla.
"You're nervous, baby?" hinaplos ko ang kanyang pisngi, "I know, it's alright. Just take a deep breath. Inhale... exhale..."
She followed me, doing what I'm instructing to calm her nerves.
Today is that talent show for the family day in their school. Everyone is busy and the program has started already. Nasa panghuli kami dahil huli nang nag-register kaya kabadong-kabado si Fritz at magagaling daw ang mga nauna.
"S-Sorry po, Ate. Kaba lang po ako." She sighed loudly, looking so adorable with her light pink ballerina top and tutu. Nakapusod ang kanyang buhok at kulang pink ang labi, ang mga mata'y itim na itim at kumikislap.
"Being nervous is part of it. Noong first time ko, kahit no'ng ngayong malaki na ako, kinakabahan pa rin ako."
"Talaga po, Ate?" she gasped, "paano ikaw po na hindi kakabahan? Paano po pag nagkamali ako po? Tapos limot ko po ang steps?"
"It's okay, just dance, dance like you owned the stage. Dance like they aren't here, that it was just you and you're expressing yourself. H'wag nating isipin ang iniisip nila, ang mahalaga'y mahal mo ang ginagawa mo."
"Pero... pero 'di ako galing po ng sobra..."
"What? Who told you na hindi ka magaling?" tumaas ang kilay ko, "si Mildred na naman atsaka 'yong tiyanak niyang friend?"
"Sib..." I hushed the chuckling Solomon beside us.
"Opo... sabi niya po no'ng nag-practice akong mag-dance no'ng recess po."
"Tss, hayaan mo mga walang manners. Ang mga pretty girls kagaya natin walang pakialam sa irrelevant," ngumuso ako, naalala ang pang-iirap sa akin no'ng Nanay no'ng Mildred! Pero kung makatitig sa boyfriend ko!
Hmp! Dukutin ko mata no'n, eh!
"Look here, Fritz," muling tumitig ang malambing na mata niya sa akin. "Idol mo si Ate Sib, 'di ba?"
She nodded at me, "what does your idol told you?"
"Sabi mo po na... na magaling po ako mag-dance. Na ako po ang best student mo po."
"Great! Good girl," hinaplos ko ang buhok niya. "Ate Sib has a lot of experience in dancing and you should believe me when I tell you how amazing you are, hmm? You are so great! Nanay, Kuya Sol and Ate Sib are so proud of you..."
"Sama mo pa si Ate Liza!" namilog ang mata ko nang marinig ang boses na 'yon at napasinghap nang makita ang kaibigan na hila-hila si Nash.
"Liza..." I called, smiling.
"May hinanda kaming banner sa inyo! Galingan n'yo, ah?" ngumisi siya, "Fritz, you can do it! The best ang teachers mo! Kuya Sol and Ate Sibyl!"
"Thank you po, Ate," she smiled cutely at her.
After talking to Fritz and calming her down, I looked at my seat. Ngumuso ako nang makitang parang bulateng inasinan si Liza habang may kinikwento kay Nash.
Sus, inagawan ako ng upuan!
I looked around. I saw an unoccupied seat in front of us and I was about to go there when someone pulled me by my waist.
I gasped and fell on his lap.
"Sol!"
"Hmm?" niyakap niya ang baywang ko at pinatong ang baba sa balikat ko.
"I'll go get a seat—"
"Ako na lang upuan mo," bulong niya. My cheeks heated. He jolted when I pinched his arm, chuckling on my ear.
"Bastos mo, hoy! May bata!" bulong ko.
"She won't hear," bulong niya at mas binaon ang mukha sa leeg ko. "Dito ka lang, malapit na rin naman tayo. Sisiguraduhin kong komportable ang upuan mo." He then pulled me closer so I could use his lap as my seat.
Hinayaan ko na para 'di mangulit. I liked it this way, too. Him, wrapping his arms around me. It felt warm, free... home.
"Ikaw, magaling ka pala sumayaw, bakit 'di mo sinasabi?" I asked him while we were watching a family dancing in the stage for their child's talent.
"Wala lang. Concern lang ako kasi baka mas lalo kang ma-in love sa akin," hinampas ko na. Humalakhak siya sa tainga ko.
Solomon and his lowkey kayabangan.
"I love you, Sib," he whispered after his hearty chuckles and kissed my cheek. "Thank you for making Fritz and I happy. Mahal na mahal kita."
How could I not fall harder with him? Parang kada araw na lumilipas ay mas nahuhulog lang ako. Ang hirap-hirap na sigurong umahon.
We got called. Before we went to the stage, we prayed first for a successful routine and practice our breathings with Fritz before going in front.
"You got this, darling," I kissed her forehead after Sol whispered something to her with a smile on his face. "Ready?"
"Ready!" she jumped up and down adorably.
I already prepared for a warm up for Fritz and I before leaving the house earlier.
I'm wearing a light blue camisole leotard, tights and darker tutu with my pointe shoes. My hair is in a high ponytail while my boyfriend is sporting a body-hugging black shirt and jogger pants.
Oh, fucking hot.
We were introduced. I was used to the large crowd but dancing again in front of audiences who probably didn't know me is making me a bit nervous. I was starting the number with a serene violin version of a modern song.
The lights are on me as I slowly walk in tiptoe and shifting my hand position from the first to fifth in a harmonious stunt. I closed my eyes and slowly rise for a releve and lower my feet with my palm slowly until the song made a smooth transition.
Hey...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful angel...
I opened my eye the same time the song shifted to Bazzi and Camila's Beautiful and met Sol's expressive eyes.
Ang kamay kong nakalahad ay kinuha niya at sa mabilis kong pag-ikot ay nagkatinginan kaming dalawa.
Love your imperfections, every angle
Tomorrow comes and goes before you know
So I just had to let you know
We danced in coordination. My legs glided with him, sensual and smooth at the same time. My classic steps mixing beautifully with his moves.
The way that Gucci look on you amazing
But nothing can compare to when you're naked...
I rolled my hips against his, gasping when I felt his stolen kisses on my neck, trying to hide it with his dance steps.
"Damn you, Sol," I cursed under my breath while touching his nape and he's holding my stomach, moving with the rhythm.
Now a backwood and some Henny got you faded
Saying you the one for me, I need to face it
"I'm really damned, angel," he chuckled and moved his finger in a tiptoe on my leg up as I raised my leg in the air. His lips moving to follow my arm down my shoulder.
I shuddered, feeling the music more with him.
The way that dress fall off you is amazing
Love a miracle, a beautiful creation
Humawak siya sa baywang ko para alalayan ako sa ginawa kong pag-ikot.
Baby come a little closer let me taste it
You came a little closer now you're shaking...
"Sexy n'yo po! Sana lahat!" kung hindi lang lumabas ang ngala-ngala ni Liza sa walang tigil na sigaw ay maaadik na ako sa amoy ni Sol. Sa muling pag-ikot ko ay inangat niya ako ng bahagya hanggang sa maghawak ang kamay namin pagkalayo sa isa't-isa, unti-until inilalahad si Fritz na pumasok na.
The lyrics left the song as it turned to the tune alone and from my place, with my hands in the air facing Sol, we both watched Fritzy dancing in front with such grace.
My eyes watered seeing the little angel dancing adorably in front with precision, grace and enjoyment. All eyes on her at nang magkatinginan kami ni Sol ay sabay na ngumiti, kagaya ko ay nahuli ko ang pagkislap ng mata niya.
Fritz moved her hand like those I taught her. She tiptoed cutely, raising her foot and twirling slowly before jumping and she made her final position, the song changed again and like symphony, Sol and I jumped with her in front and danced.
I can't believe I'm dancing the mix of ballet, jazz and hip hop in front of people with two of the most important people in my life. We danced in sync, with Fritzy in front and us on her back, making the crowd squeal and jump up and down, dancing with us.
How amazing dancing is. It's a language everyone understands.
Fritz and I had a quick ballet stunt and as she twirled, sinalubong siya ni Sol, inabot ang baywang para alalayan sa pag-ikot at muling pagsayaw.
This number has been the best moment of my dancing career.
As the song ended, Sol and I held Fritz's tiny hand and all together, bowed to the crowd. We are still catching our breaths but when we saw one another, we ended up giggling and hugging in front.
"And for this year's winner... let's give a round of applause to Fritzy Alejo and her family!" malakas akong napasigaw. Binuhat ni Sol si Fritz na tumatalon-talon bago ako hinila para sa mahigpit na yakap at halik sa noo naming dalawa.
Seeing Fritzy's glee made me happy. Is it overreacting I'm almost crying while the little angel's accepting her trophy?
Nanay is crying in happiness.
Nash and Liza were taking pictures of us. I asked her to not forget my polaroid kaya 'di na ako magugulat kung maubos niya ang film ko.
"Congratulations, Fritzy! Ang galing mo kanina! Ang husay magturo ng Papa at Mama mo!" the principal greeted us.
"Thank you po, Ma'am! Galing po talaga ang Kuya-Papa at Mama-Ate ko! The best!" Fritz giggled.
My heart jumped. I smiled.
Pinaupo ni Sol si Fritz sa batok niya na humahagikhik na yakap-yakap ang trophy niya. Sol's palm is on my waist, claiming my stomach and when the photographer called our attention, we stared at the camera with the sweetest smiles.
We celebrated. Days gone by like a blink of one's eye.
For the first time, I didn't celebrate the holidays with my family in Manila. Hindi sila nakauwi dahil sa shoot ni Mommy sa telenovela kaya ang holiday ko ay kasama sina Mama at Papa Jer and it was superb.
They have a Christmas party with all of our employees at tuwang-tuwa ako sa dami ng pagkain. Isa pa, kasama ko sina Sol kaya hindi mawala ang ngisi ko.
I video called my family. My Daddy was sulking and it's Christmas but he's tearing up like a kid. Tinatawanan namin.
"Ilang buwan na lang mag-iisang taon ka na rito, ah? Wala kang balak umuwi?" Sol asked while we're outside of their house, watching the stars. Si Pookie ay nasa kandungan ko at nakahiga na parang Donya.
"I'll go home soon, maybe after your graduation? Ilang linggo na lang naman?" hinarap ko siya.
"Isa't-kalahati," sagot niya sabay halik sa balikat ko at yakap sa baywang ko, "I love you, angel. May audition ka, hindi ba?"
I smiled, I rested my head on his.
"I love you, too." I answered, "but the audition was postponed. I will have some time to add more to my routine. Atsaka saglit lang naman na, pagkatapos ng graduation mo sa bahay naman tayo. Ihanda mo na ang kasu-kasuan mo at baka malumpo ka ni Daddy."
He chuckled, kissing my cheek.
"Nakaka-guilty nga, feeling ko pinagtataksilan ko si Pareng Zeijan." We laughed in unison.
"Anong plano natin after?" I asked when the laughter calmed down. Kaming dalawa lang ang narito sa bahay nila ngayon at may kainan sa mansyon namin at nakapagsarado ng deal si Papa at Sol sa kilalang investor. At ito, ang kasama sa nag-invest ay sinama akong tumakas at nahihilo na raw siya kaka-English sa mga bisita ro'n nang walang-tigil.
"Hmm... gano'n pa rin. Papaalam ako kay Sir na tayo na, tapos magtatrabaho. Sinabi ni Sir Jer sa akin na ako raw bahala kung anong tatanggapin ko pero kung kailangan ko raw ng mabilisang trabaho, open palagi ang rancho sa akin."
"Ako naman, after audition ko at hindi papalarin, babalik sa recitals. I'm planning to take some modelling or acting roles like Mommy pero sideline lang muna, ballet pa rin. How 'bout Fritz, are you planning to tell her about your relationship to her?"
Natigilan siya. He took my hand and played with my fingers, sighing.
"Hindi kaya siya magalit sa akin?"
"Bakit magagalit?" sinulyapan ko siya at nahuli ang sakit sa mga mata niya.
"Kasi nagsinungaling ako. Sinabing magkapatid kami para hindi magtanong kung bakit wala siyang Mama. Mas maganda na iyong ang alam niya pareho kami kaysa..."
"You should let her know," I whispered. He glanced at me. "Maybe not now pero sabihin mo, Sol. Fritzy is a smart kid, she'll understand. Ano ngayon kung walang Mama? Her father took care of her the best he could and became both a mother and father figure. She'll understand."
"Sib..." her voice softened. Hinalikan niya ang daliri ko.
"Ano? In love na in love ka na naman?" tumawa ako nang pinugpog niya ng halik ang pisngi ko at halos mapisat na ako sa yakap niya.
"Sobra..." he whispered on my ear. "Kung mayaman lang ako, papakasalan na kita kaagad."
"Sus, ako na nga nag-propose sa 'yo no'ng nakaraan 'di mo pa tinatanggap. Sayang, expired na tuloy ang offer. Magtrabaho ka muna kagaya ng gusto mo atsaka natin pag-usapan 'yang kasal."
"Sabihin ko ka Fritz, 'no?"
"Oo, the kid deserved to know," I answered him. "And if she will look for her Mom, sabihin mo mas may sobrang ganda at sexy siyang stepmom."
We laughed like idiots again until it turned to teasing kisses and making out.
"H-Hindi pa ba sila babalik?" kinakabahang tanong ko kay Sol habang hinihila niya mula sa likod paalis ang shirt niya.
"Nah, kapag may handaan sa mansyon n'yo, h'wag mo nang hintayin si Nanay. Hindi 'yan uuwi ng maaga at may nakabalot 'yan sila pag-uwi ni Fritz."
I chuckled, pulling him closer to me while I'm on his bed, my legs spread widely for him.
He pulled his pants down, opened his condom with his teeth and put it on before slamming his cock inside me.
I am looking forward to my relationship with Sol with our future in mind. It's just months—turning almost a year na when I met him but when you find the one, alam mo na talaga sa sarili mong siya na 'yon.
For the first time, my life's pretty quiet and peaceful. I never regretted opening my heart to someone as pure as him. As loving as him. As freely as he's making me feel.
His graduation's approaching too quickly when he asked me to be his date on their senior ball. It's a thing here in Sta. Monica University, nakita ko kasi noon ang pictures ni Mama at Papa no'ng kolehiyo sila.
They looked amazing. I felt like I'm watching an 80's movie right in front of my eyes. Vintage. Classic.
"Kaso late na, Sol." Ngumuso ako habang iniisip kung saan ako kukuha ng gown.
Wala akong dala dahil 'di ko naman iniisip na possible magpo-formal ako rito.
"Simple dress is okay. Naka-long sleeves lang naman ako," ani Sol na kinakalma ako pero napagod na kakahalukay ko sa damit kaya nando'n na sa kama at nakahilata, humihikab. "Maganda ka pa rin naman kahit anong suot, angel."
"Ih! H'wag mo 'kong bolahin ngayon. Nope, I wanted some gown. S'yempre para naman hindi ako mukhang out of place. Ikaw kasi late mo na sinabi!" ungot ko pero si Sol ay tumawa lang sabay takip sa mukha niya ng unan ko.
He's studying while I was flipping my closet to check if I have some long dress fit for a party but no! Nada! And I'm freaking out.
I can't ask my Ate Crest to check some for me dahil 'di na aabot panigurado at matutulala na sana ako sa kawalang pag-asa nang may bombilyang umilaw sa utak ko.
I took my phone, sent a message to my Mama Lena who was having a trip with Papa to Alaska and received a message back almost immediately.
From: My Beauty Queen Mama
Yes! Yes, I have, darling! Buti nagtanong ka. Go to the formal wear closets on our third floor. You can ask Mary where's the clothes. May mga nasuot na ako do'n at mayroong hindi pa. Matagal nang 'di nagagamit ang iba but you know me, I love things with sentimental value. I kept it and it was good as new. I have a black gown I think will perfectly fit for you since we got the same body size when I was in college :)
I stood excitedly, saying my thanks and checked it out. I left Solomon sleeping on my room with his handouts beside him and went with Mary to the closet.
When I got there, my eyes are wide as fuck. When I got into the room filled with clothes, I realized this is the sight to see while entering a former beauty queen's closet.
I saw a tube black and elegant gown with gloves reaching the elbow. Beside it was a white suit, an inner long sleeve shirt, slacks and suspenders and one look, I have a target in mind.
"Solomon! Bumangon ka mula sa baul!" tili ko sabay takbo sa kanya habang yakap-yakap ang mga damit.
Pagkatapos ng pilitan dahil sa nahihiya daw si Sol gamitin ang damit ni Papa Jer no'ng college pa sila kahit pumayag naman ay um-oo na siya. Well, it took a lot of my convincing powers to let him say yes.
"Nakakahiya nga gamitin, Sib, kahit nagpaalam..." ani Sol. "S'yempre matagal na niyang tinago 'yan tapos gagamitin ko? P'wede na 'yong damit ko—fuck!"
I stopped.
"Angel..." he groaned and pulled my head but I refused.
"Nope. Unless you'll say yes," umiling ako, natutuwang makita siyang nahihirapan at umiigting ang panga.
"Nakakahiya nga, Sib," binasa niya ang labi at inabot ang pisngi ko.
"Pero si Papa nga nagsabi na. Hindi naman niya raw ginagamit. Atsaka bagay daw kasi 'yong susuotin ko gown ni Mama." Ngumuso ako, "sige na, please? Please? Please?"
Natahimik siya at napatitig sa akin, "mag-partner ba 'yong damit?"
I nodded, smiling hopefully.
"Yes, kaya bagay sa atin and..." I pumped his cock, making him curse under his breath and fisted my hair. "Kapag pumayag ka, bagay na tayo... may reward ka pa."
He sighed exasperatedly, closing his eyes. The veins on his neck are visible now together with his clenching jaw.
"You're a tease, Sandejas," he groaned. "Alright, susuotin ko. Now..." he touched my lips. "Open that sweet mouth of yours and suck me."
And... I happily did.
We were like Mama Lena and Papa Jer's modern version while wearing their formal clothes. The black gown hugged my body perfectly, every curve felt like it was made for me. Sol's the same and he was damn hot.
Matangkad, moreno, matipuno at malinis ang gupit ng buhok. Kasyang-kasya sa kanya ang suit ni Papa Jer. Nahulma at mas nakita ang lapad ng kanyang balikat at kung hindi ko lang kilala si Sol? Iisipin kong anak-mayaman 'to at lumaking pulos mga suit and tie ang suot.
We have a lot of time to kill during our stay in the mansion and so, with Liza and Nash's help, we had fun and recreated Mama and Papa Jer's senior ball pictures we saw on the photo album.
We sent it to my grandparents who even called us, emotional and happy seeing us wearing their precious clothes as it is filled with memories.
"Enjoy the night, Sibyl, Sol. Our senior ball before was filled with memories. I hope you'll fill and add more memories, hmm?" Mama reminded.
"Yes po, Mama, thank you for this." Inilahad ko ang damit.
"No worries, hindi na rin naman nagagamit 'yan. That's just for safe-keeping but because you two are there, we are glad to lend those to you both."
"Uy, Solomon," natawa ako nang dumungaw na si Papa sa video call.
"Sir!" Sol called, even saluting to him.
"Gwapo mo, pare, ah? Sus, ganyan din ako no'ng kabataan ko kaya patay na patay sa akin itong si Harriet!" ani Papa kaya nagkatawanan kami.
Papa reminded Sol and me to take care and not get drunk. Sumabay kami kina Nash papunta at nang makarating sa Sta. Monica University kung saan gaganapin ang ball ay kumislap ang mata ko.
My JS Prom when I was in high school was boring but now? Seeing and being here? It feels surreal.
At twenty-five, I felt so young. I felt like I became an innocent girl again and like the song? Young, wild and free.
Everyone was having a blast. We partied, ate and danced to the music. Maraming nag-aayang sumayaw sa akin, sinasabi ko lang na masakit ang paa ko pero sa totoo'y gusto ko lang talaga na si Sol ang kasayaw ko.
He's like that, too. Minamata pa nga kami ni Emma at gustong lumapit pero alam kong alam niya na hindi niya mapapasama si Sol sa kanya. Sol's been clingy all night, gentle at the same time with watching me to not get drunk.
"Dahan-dahan, angel," inabutan ako ni Sol ng tubig.
"Sorry, baby," I pouted and rested my head on his shoulder. "Saan si Liza?"
"Dancefloor," aniya at nang mag-angat ako ng tingin ay napatawa sa nakita.
They're kissing!
"Tignan mo?" tumawa ako, "alam mo bang pizza delivery pa ang pangalan ni Nash sa phone niya?!"
"Tss... nakaligtas 'yang Nash na 'yan sa akin at si Liza ang gusto niya," umiling si Sol, "kapag ikaw? Makikita mo na lang 'yan sa T.V. kasi tinapon ko na pabalik sa Going Bulilit."
"Baliw!" natatawang hinampas ko siya pero hinuli niya ang kamay ko at tumayo.
"May I have this dance, angel?" he offered handsomely.
I accepted his hand and funny as it sounds but as I put my palms on his shoulder and his palms on my waist, the song changed and the light from the mirror ball above dimmed yet it shone brighter in my sight.
I need a lover to keep me sane
Pull me from hell, bring me back again
I closed my eyes, smiling as I heard Troye Sivan's Angel Baby on the speaker.
Everytime I'm hearing the word Angel, it reminded me of Sol. How funny is it for the word to be associated with me when I'm a demon personified in reality?
Play me the classics, something romantic
Give him my all when I don't even have it
Sol kissed my hair. Ibinaon ko ang mukha sa kanyang dibdib, malakas ang kalabog ng puso.
I always dreamed of a solemn face
Someone who feels like a holiday
But now I'm in pieces, barely believing
Starting to think that I've lost all feeling
The song made me teared up.
I always dreamed of a solemn face. Someone who feels like a holiday.
"Sol... I love you..." bulong ko, "you're my freedom, my escape. You're the holiday after the tiring work days."
Mas humigpit ang yakap niya sa akin.
"Mahal din kita," he chuckled softly, "hindi ko nga alam kung anong dasal ang dinasal ko para makuha ko ang atensyon mo..."
"May itsura ka kasi, p'wede na," I joked and the sincere laughter filled every hollow inside my chest.
Mas rumahan ang pagsayaw naming dalawa hanggang sa binubulong na niya sa akin ang liriko ng kanta.
"You're my angel... Angel baby, angel..." his sexy voice whispered and kissed my temple. "You're my angel, baby. Baby, you're my angel—kahit medyo may pagkademonyita."
I smacked him. He yelped. Natatawang humalik siya sa noo ko nang matalim kong tinitigan.
"Joke lang, galit naman kaagad ang angel na 'yan..." he whispered and caressed my cheek. "I love you, angel."
My cheeks heated.
"Alam mo talaga paano ako papalambutin, ah?" reklamo ko at ngumisi siya. He stopped for a while, fished something from his slacks and when he lifted something in the air, a loud gasp left my lips.
It was the black swan necklace! That one shaped like the letter S!
"Sol..."
"My gift," bulong niya habang nakatulala ako, gulat na gulat sa kanya.
"You don't need to do this..." gulantang ko pa ring sinabi pero umiling lang siya at unti-unting hinawi ang buhok ko para pasuotin iyon sa akin.
"Hindi kailangan pero gusto ko," he whispered. "Nakita ko kung paano kumislap ang mata mo sa kwintas, isa pa... mukhang letter S, saktong-sakto sa pangalan mo."
"No..." I touched the necklace, "it's not my name for me. It's S for you... Solomon, my solace."
Kumislap ang mata niya at nang magtagpong muli ang labi namin ay ayaw ko nang magising sa magandang panaginip na ito.
At twenty-five, I'm the happiest. At twenty-five, in this small little town of Sta. Monica, I found the man I'll ever love in this life.
Muli kaming nagyakap ni Sol habang sumasayaw sa musika. My eyes went up to the mirror ball in the middle of the dance floor, unnoticed yet letting the place shine bright and colorful.
It was made with pieces broken a million little times, making it shine and it resonates people—it resonates me. Everytime people like me break, it entertained other people. It entertained the media.
Every issue is a laughingstock for some while I remained broken yet still doing my best to still shine above just so they would dance with the sight of me. So, they'd clap at me.
Para akong pinagdikit-dikit at pinirasong mga bubog, pinagkakasya ang iba't-ibang ako sa iisang katawan. I am different with my fans, with my staff, with the media, with friends and family na hindi ko na alam kung ano ba talaga ako. Kung sino ba talaga.
I shined so bright up above, making the dance floor alive but when the curtains are closed and the lights are off, I was still waiting in pedestal. Waiting for the curtains to open again, waiting for the spotlight to be centered on me and those people will clap with the sight of the broken pieces of me dancing—entertaining.
I was pieces of broken glasses pierced together to be one, to shine above and yet—Sol, he'd seen every broken piece and yet, he didn't force it back together. He kissed every piece, he embraced every part. Even if the lights are off and the curtains are closed, he was waiting for me backstage.
I would never let this escape go. I would cherish and love it with all of me but I ended up being broken again.
"What are you doing here?" I stopped on my tracks when I saw familiar faces in front of me when I left Sol after going to the restroom.
Mila and Leah.
"Hey, Sib! You're here!" Mila acted surprise, "how's the buhay probinsyana?"
"What are you two doing here?" kumunot ang noo ko, ang galit ay unti-unting umusbong, winawala ang kaginhawaan kanina.
"Oh, masama ba?" kumunot ang noo ni Leah, "I heard it's an open event? Why can't we go?"
"No..." pumirmi ang labi ko at hinawi ang buhok ko. "I know you two aren't here for this event accidentally. What do you need? Sinong nagpapasok sa inyo? P'wede bang umalis na kayo? I don't have time faking pleasantries with you two."
"What?" tumawa si Mila, "is being in this filthy province made you act like a skwater?"
Kumuyom ang kamay ko sa irita.
"May problema ba, cous?" Emma then appeared, calling Leah. My eyes widened.
"No, nothing, Emma. Just this..." natawa si Leah at tinuro ako, "we just came across our ex-friend." The sarcasm's evident in her tone.
"What, Sibyl?" mukhang hindi na nagulat si Emma sa nalaman pero ako'y mas gulong-gulo. Her cousin's Leah?
"I told you, Emma. This woman's attitude is just..." Mila shook her head disappointedly.
Really? Ikaw pa ang disappointed? Ang mukha mong 'yan?!
"Bakit, Sibyl? I let them here, I'm the mayor's daughter. Aangal ka?" Emma smirked.
The three laughed mockingly and my brow shot up. Don't tell me these three knew each other while I'm here? Is that why Emma's being fucking nosy?
"What do you need?" kalmado kong tanong, ayaw nang patagalin ang kalokohang 'to. "You two wouldn't come here for nothing, I'm sure. What is it? You wanna pissed me off? You've won, I'm pissed. You wanna write another issue after ruining my name the last time? Please, do so. Just leave after. I don't wanna see ugly faces near me."
"Ano?" sumimangot si Mila, "ang kapal mo naman? Ikaw ba ang nagmamay-ari dito?"
I opened my mouth, was about to fight when I felt a gentle grip on my waist.
"What's the matter, angel?" Sol whispered when he caught me, his eyes are locked on my face, kissing my temple.
"Nothing..." kinagat ko ang labi ko. "It's just—"
"Oh, what a coincidence! Hi, Sol!" both our gazes went in front of us when Mila called.
I felt Solomon stiffened beside me, he looked shock at first but masked it with coldness while Mila's sporting sweet smiles. Kumunot ang noo ko at nagtaka, gano'n din si Emma.
Is he interested with my boyfriend? Then, I remembered the damn bet. Suminghap ako at humawak sa braso ni Sol.
"Let's go, Sol—"
"Hey! Stop being possessive! Is it bad saying hi to Sol here?" ngumisi si Mila. Leah sipped on her wine with a hidden smile. Sol's jaw clenched.
Humigpit ang hawak ko kay Sol, "anong kailangan n'yo? Please, my boyfriend and I are busy—"
"Chill out, Sibyl, I just want to ask something to this pretty boy of yours." She smiled teasingly and bit her lip while staring at Sol's dark and angry face. "How was our little Fritz? I assumed you're taking care of our daughter?" I stiffened.
