Hi! Thank you for the patience and waiting! Enjoy! Thank you for always staying <3

Kabanata 27
Sol and I are in complete silence while on our way home.
I was wrapped on his maong jacket while I was staring mindlessly to the open window of his car. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin, dinig ang huni ng kuliglig at mabango ang samyo ng hangin sa naghahalong amoy ng dagat at mga basang dahon.
I closed my eyes tightly, filling my lungs with oxygen to control my breathing.
I was still shaken up from the incident earlier but I could feel at ease right now. Because I was with my solace.
Marahan akong sumulyap kay Sol na seryoso sa pagmamaneho, igting ang panga at diretso ang tingin sa madilim na daan pauwi galing palengke. Simple kulay puting shirt lang ang suot niya at pants, magulo ang buhok na natural at dahil na rin sa hanging pumapasok sa bintana sa side ko.
His hand is extended on the steering wheel with his visible protruding veins on his arm. Sa kanyang pulsuhan ay ang itim na relong iniregalo ko noon sa kanya.
I reached for my necklace and twisted it, resting my back on the seat.
Hindi ko masabi ang reaksyon ni Sol. Halong galit at pag-aalala ang nakita ko sa kanyang mukha kanina habang niyayakap niya akong nakaupo sa kalsada hanggang sa marahang buhatin niya ako papunta sa kanyang sasakyan.
I am sure he has a lot of questions but he didn't utter a word until we reached an unfamiliar house.
Nangunot ang noo ko. Hindi ko na inantay na pagbuksan ako ni Sol at lumabas sa sasakyan habang nakatitig sa bahay.
Kulay puti iyon at moderno ang disenyo, habang nakatitig ay estimated kong nasa dalawa o tatlong palapag ito. It wasn't too massive but was enough to house a family.
Naramdaman ko ang pag-ayos ni Sol ng jacket sa balikat ko kaya dali-dali ko siyang nilingon at tinuro ang bahay.
"Is this your house?"
His serious black eyes stared back at me as he nodded a little. Umawang ang labi ko sa mangha.
This is his dream! To build a house for his family!
"Pumasok muna tayo, malamig dito," humawak siya sa balikat ko at inalalayan ako papasok.
I realized it was their house before. Mas malaki nga lang ang sakop ng lupa kumpara noon at wala na ang simpleng bahay noon. His car was parked in front of it and as we made our way inside, namilog ang mata ko nang makita ang mga kulungan ng manok.
"Is Pookie..."
"Na kina Liza," sagot niyang seryoso at mas inilapit ako sa kanya, seryoso pa rin. "Mamaya mo na isipin, pupuntahan natin bukas."
I nodded, biting my lower lip. I have always loved the comfort Sol's been giving me that the fear's slowly subsiding with him by my side. He had this aura around screaming I'll protect you and I won't get hurt because he's here.
Protection and safety weren't just about in physical aspect, it's more like your emotional capability to feel the said feelings just by being with a certain person.
In my case, it was Sol. He always was.
Pinaupo niya ako sa sofa pero ang mata ko'y naiwan sa bukas ng T.V. kung saan nire-replay ang episode ng telenovela ko nitong hapon. My eyes widened.
"Shit," muntik na akong matawa nang magkumahog si Sol na inabot ang remote para ilipat ang channel.
I narrowed him with my gaze. He cleared his throat.
"Sumakto lang sa channel," paliwanag niya.
"Hmm..." I shot my brow up but he dismissed me immediately and changed the topic.
"H'wag ka munang magkape—" I gave him a sad look, "—alright, kaunti lang." He negotiated and turned his back at me.
Napangiti ako. I spent a few minutes watching the show bago tumayo at sumunod kay Sol. His kitchen is pretty neat and large too. Pinagmasdan ko ang likod niya habang nakapamaywang siya't may transparent na basong may handle.
He scratched his brow and seriously took a tablespoon of coffee granules and stirred it with hot water.
I moved closer and realized he's been watching a tutorial on his phone: How to make Iced Coffee at Home?
Oh my God?
I chuckled, "busy natin d'yan, Sir, ah?"
"Puta!" mas lumakas ang tawa ko nang napatalon si Sol, muntik pang mabitawan ang baso habang namumutla ang mukha nang makita ako. "Sibyl!"
"What?" I pursed my lips and smiled softly, "mukhang busy ka sa kape mo, ah?"
Napahawak siya sa dibdib at tumikhim, unti-unting nakakabawi na.
"I was just trying some..." he licked his lip, "dapat nag-antay ka na lang do'n." Seryoso niyang sabi pero 'di niya maitatago sa 'kin ang pamumula niya sa pagkakahuli ko.
"I'm bored," I answered and looked around his kitchen, "sige, carry on. Ikot-ikot lang ako sa kitchen mo. Ang ganda."
I didn't listen to him anymore. Naka-recover naman kaagad siya habang pasulyap-sulyap sa akin na suot pa rin ang kanyang maong jacket.
I noticed he has an espresso coffee machine in here, a coffee maker, also one for drip coffee and brewing machine!
Sinulyapan ko si Sol na abala kakalagay ng caramel sa loob ng baso sa mga sides.
Oh, is he making me Caramel Macchiato?!
My heart fluttered, seeing how focused he was estimating every drop. He then filled it with ice, added the coffee then filled it with milk.
I saw how the coffee, caramel and milk mixed, making my mouth salivate. Lalo na no'ng may kinuha siya sa counter at halos mapatili na ako sa excitement nang nilagyan niya ng whipped cream sa itaas!
Nagkatinginan kami. Tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya nang makitang nakanganga ako sa kanya sa nagniningning na mga mata.
"Gusto mo?" he asked.
I nodded continuously and lifted my palm, "hingi—"
"Bili ka," he answered back.
My jaw slacked. He chuckled. Tinapunan ko siya ng matalim na tingin sabay halukipkip at irap sa kanya.
"Joke lang," he smirked and extended the glass at me, "come on, take it."
"Hmp!" I rolled my eyes.
"Sungit naman," tumawa siya at nagwala ang puso ko nang abutin niya ang braso ko, "ito na."
"Akala ko ba bibili ako?" muli akong umirap sa kanya, ngumunguso. He threw me a silly look with that stupid, handsome grin. Mas umirap ako.
"Wala akong dalang rosary ngayon, angel, h'wag ka muna mag-exorcist."
I slapped his arm. Mas natatawa siyang inabot sa akin ang baso ulit at hindi naman sa marupok ako pagdating sa kape pero... inagaw ko sa kanya ang baso sabay dikit ng lamig sa palad ko.
I sighed heavenly and took the straw to sip on it and almost immediately, it calmed my nerves. The sweetness mixing with the bitterness melted on my mouth and exploded on my taste buds.
I loved coffee but this one's probably the best.
"Sarap?" he asked.
"'Di naman masyado, saks lang," sabat ko sabay sipsip ulit.
His forehead creased, "talaga ba? Sorry, pangatlong subok ko pa lang kasi 'yan kaya 'di pa masyadong masarap—"
"It's the best I've ever had," I cut him off, seeing how his face brightened.
"Talaga?" he sounded doubtful, I nodded.
"Totoo, pero h'wag lalaki ang ulo," muli akong sumimsim. "Right amount of sweetness and bitterness, the whipped cream mixed well with the caramel."
He took a step closer, napaatras ako sa gulat at napasandal sa gilid ng counter. He placed his palms in each of my side and stared down at me with those soulful black eyes.
My chest fluttered. Mas humigpit ang hawak ko sa kape ko at lumaban ng tingin sa kanya.
"Masarap?" he asked while staring directly at me.
"Sarap," sagot ko habang nakatulala sa mukha niya. I licked my lower lip.
"Patikim," aniya kaya nanginginig man ang kamay ay inangat ko ang kape at inabot sa kanya.
He took it with his one hand.
I was expecting him to sip on it but he only put it down on the counter, glanced my way and tilted his head down to claim my lips.
Nagulat ako at nanigas sa kinatatayuan. When his tongue knocked on my teeth, my mouth obliged and parted.
I felt how his sweet lips coaxed mine in a manner of tasting the insides. Mas nagdikit ang dibdib naming dalawa at napapapikit na ako't muntik na siyang halikan pabalik kung hindi lang niya mapaglarong kinagat ang pang-ibabang labi ko.
One swipe of his lips against mine again and he pulled away, his amused smile made my insides tremble.
"Masarap nga," aniya at hinaplos ang labi ko bago parang wala lang na pinahawak sa akin pabalik ang kape at sumisipol na tumalikod.
The pretty lady was too stunned to speak.
I blinked rapidly. I was thinking it might be a figment of my imagination if not for my racing heartbeats. Sinulyapan ko si Sol na namumula na rin habang inaayos ang mga ingredients niya sa lamesa.
"'Di... hindi mo naman sinabing magba-barista ka na," I decided to change the topic.
"Ah," he chuckled. "Sumusubok lang, masarap naman pala kaya..." sumulyap siya sa labi ko.
"Dami mong coffee machine, ah?" tinaasan ko na ng kilay.
He froze but shrugged afterwards, "nakita ko lang no'ng namimili 'ko kaya binili ko, mukhang maganda kasi. Para sa akin kahit 'di ko naman masyadong magagamit."
"Hmm..." I hummed maliciously and went closer to him, umupo ako sa stool nang maka-recover at binaba ang baso sabay sulyap sa kanya. "Para sa 'yo ba talaga? Really? You liked coffee but you aren't a coffee person, Sol. You weren't even too addicted to it—"
"I'm addicted to coffee, angel," he cut me off.
I stared at him ridiculously, "I can say at least you consist of twenty to thirty percent of coffee, Sol. It's not addicted. Unlike me na halos ninety percent na."
"Oo nga, ikaw," aniya. Nangunot ang noo ko.
"Huh?"
"You said you're composed of ninety percent of coffee, angel." He repeated. I nodded.
"So? Anong connect?" inabot ko ang kape para uminom habang nakatitig sa kanya.
"You're the coffee I'm addicted to," he gave me a handsome side grin, "my daily dose of caffeine."
And I choked. Pumasok ang kape sa ilong ko kaya halos masaksak ko na ng straw si Solomon.
He was laughing at me while helping me get over from it. Hindi ko na alam kung nakailang hampas ako sa kanya hanggang sa umayos na ako.
Para daw makabawi, ayon na ang hunghang at naglulutong nakahubad. Kanina pa ako nakairap sa kanya habang sumisimsim ang kape ko pero pasayaw-sayaw pa siyang nag-iikot ng prinitong hotdog habang hawak ang spatula.
This idiot! Akala ba niya madadala ako sa pahubad-hubad niya sa harapan ko?!
He slowly looked back at me, his delicious chest came into view, looking fucking sexy with only his jeans on. He winked when he caught my gaze.
"Idiot," I mumbled and glared at him.
Tumawa siya sabay talikod muli at nang hindi na siya nakatingin ay mabilis kong hinalo ng straw ang inumin sabay tili ng walang tunog at kurot sa sarili.
Ang gwapo ni gago! Gaga ka, Sibyl!
Napahawak ako sa tiyan ko at humaplos doon.
Isang tingin lang, ten months pregnant na ako!
Pinaghanda ako ni Sol ng pagkain. I watched his biceps flexing in front of me while putting foods on my plate.
"'Di ko pa kasi nalilinisan iyong binili ko kanina sa palengke kaya ito muna," aniya, "pasensya na, 'di ko rin alam na mapupunta ka rito."
He didn't ask me about the reason why I was crying earlier which I was glad he didn't. Hindi pa ako handa, baka mawalan pa ako ng ganang kumain kaya pagkatapos na lang siguro.
"It's alright, I appreciate it," tumitig ako sa mga hinain niya. Frozen foods lang at sinangag pati tuyo na may kamatis pero sapat na sapat na sa akin. "This is too much. Thank you din pala sa coffee, we could've bought one na lang sana o kaya kahit 'yong 3-in-1 pero nag-effort ka pa."
"Wala 'yon," he shrugged. "Bakit pa tayo bibili kung kaya naman kitang gawan ng kape?"
I have never thought I would swoon this hardly with a talk about coffee.
Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa at napapikit ako nang inangat niya ang kamay para haplusin ang pisngi ko bago inilagay ang nahuhulog na hibla sa likod ng tainga ko.
"I lied, Sib," he mumbled. I opened my eyes. "I lied when I said these coffee machines are for me."
I know...
Hindi ako umimik at pinagmasdan siya, "I bought these with the thought of you. Oo, masama ang loob ko at nasaktan sa nangyari noon pero kahit anong gawin ko 'di ka talaga matanggal dito." He pointed his chest.
"Sol..." my voice softened.
"I'm not asking something back, angel," he smiled lazily. "Hayaan mo lang ako sa tabi mo masaya na ako. Sobrang-sobra pa nga."
Araw-araw ata nahuhulog ako sa kanya. Tila walang katapusan ang pagmamahal na 'to kaya habang kumakain ay naiiyak na ako pero 'di ko ipinapakita sa kanya.
He gave me a pair of his large shirt and his boxers when I took a bath on his room. Naninibago pa rin talaga ako sa bahay niya at nasanay sa itsura noon pero sa kabila no'n ay masaya.
My heart boomed with pride witnessing how my hardworking Sol got his dreams. How he never gave up after the world threw mud at him. Sa lahat ng hirap, kahit pasuko'y lumalaban.
I wish I have the courage he had.
I touched my chest while lurking around his room where a large king size bed was. There are picture frames and while I was looking, I saw Fritzy and his photo. Sila nina Nanay tapos...
My heart thumped.
Even the polaroid photo of us during Fritzy's competion was framed her, together with a photo of me he snapped while I was glaring at him while sipping iced coffee.
"Why do you even keep on calling me angel when I'm basically acting like a little devil, Sol?" napatawa na ako sa itsura kong parang dragon na.
I remembered it. He was teasing me during this photo and I was pissed. Sumimangot ako habang nakairap nang kuhaan niya ako ng litrato.
He was wrong all along. I wasn't the angel. He is.
Suot-suot ang malaking shirt niyang umabot na sa hita ko ay bumaba ako sa living room nang hindi maabutan doon si Sol. I walked closer to the television when I heard my name and froze upon seeing the news.
Headline: Rising star, Sibyl Sandejas sleeping with a director for lead roles? Exclusive!
I shivered. Bumagsak ako ng upo sa sofa at saktong pagbukas ng pinto ng bahay ay nagkatinginan kami ni Sol.
Nagulat siya nang makita ako sabay sulyap sa T.V. His jaw tightened. May telepono siya sa tainga habang naglalakad at natulala ako nang hilahin niya paalis ang saksakan ng T.V. at lapit sa akin.
Oh, God... he did not believe that, right? He didn't?
I almost flinched when he knelt in front of me. I suddenly remembered what happened earlier, panicking inside while shaking in fear.
I remembered how the asshole touched my legs up and... paano kung 'di ako nakatakas? Paano kung...
"Your Mom," marahang sabi niya.
"M-Mom?" I blinked. "S-Sol, it wasn't true..."
"Hmm, I know," marahang umangat siya at napapikit ako nang humalik siya sa noo ko habang mahigpit ang hawak sa phone at bulong sa akin, "I will fucking kill that asshole, Sibyl."
Nang kunin ko sa kanya ang phone at akmang aalis siya ay hinila ko ang pulsuhan niya kaya napasulyap siya sa akin.
His eyes are fiery, enraged. Nakaigting ang panga niya't matalim ang itsura.
"Stay..." I whispered and gently held his palm, "stay with me, Sol. Please."
Nawala ang kunot ng kanyang noo. I tugged his palm closer until he was seated beside me.
He gently pulled me closer until I'm on his lap and cuddling him. I sighed loudly and felt his arm crawling on my waist to pull me closer, taking all the fear away by his warmth and security.
"Dito lang ako," bulong niya sabay halik sa pisngi ko.
I put my phone near my ear and called, "Mommy..."
"Sibyl! Oh my God! Are you alright?!" Mom sighed in relief when she heard my voice. "Are you alright? Kanina pa kami tumatawag sa 'yo pero 'di ka namin ma-contact. Your father's frantic!"
"Sorry..." I whispered and held Sol's phone tighter, "I-I lost my phone, My."
"What happened? We were nervous and scared upon seeing the news! Mabuti ay tumawag si Sol at malapit nang baligtarin ng Daddy mo ang set n'yo!" she asked, her tone's sharp. "Something bad happened, I know. What is it, anak? Tell me, I promise, we will help you."
"I..." I swallowed painfully. "It was Rendle."
"Fuck," she cursed loudly. "What did the asshole do, Sibyl?"
"I-I'm..." sumulyap ako kay Sol na lumambot ang galit at matalim na mata nang makita akong humihingi ng tulong sa kanya.
"It's okay, I'm here," he assured me, whispering. He tugged me closer. "I will protect you."
Relieved, I bit my lower lip.
"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything but he... he reached out on me earlier." Sagot ko kay Mom, mas humihigpit ang hawak. "He wanted to talk personally about a role. A starring role for a movie, Mom. It was still in works and he said ako ang unang choice kasi magaling daw ang acting ko at bawal daw may makaalam pa k-kaya..."
My voice broke.
Sol tugged me closer and kissed my hair, running his palm back and forth on my arm.
"I kept it a secret, even to my manager. I went to the address he gave and I was excited, too, kasi malapit lang sa Sta. Monica kaya pumunta ako kaso..." my voice trembled, "My, h-he... he said I should sleep with him to get the role."
Solomon stiffened.
I glanced at him and he was cursing under his breath, burying his face on my neck.
"Putang ina," mas humigpit ang hawak niya sa akin. I could feel him shaking in anger, his palm fisted tightly he was turning crimson red in anger. His veins are visible kaya niyakap ko ang batok niya sabay haplos doon para kalmahin siya.
Mom's curses filled the other line while I'm hearing her commanding voice.
"Zion, track the whereabouts of this idiot Rendle," she commanded and spoke, "call your father and stop him from his rampage. Send him the details of the target."
"Got it, Mom. How is Sib?" I heard my brother asking.
"She's safe, don't worry," she answered. "Please call your Auntie Trece and Uncle Hawk."
I listened quietly and Mom asked again, "princess, did you remember what the place looked like? We could dig but it will take time, I couldn't let go of the asshole. I would never."
I described what it looked like, even telling my Mom what I did to get away from him at dinig na dinig ko ang diin sa kanyang boses, galit na galit.
"Call your father, Zy," she called again then her voice changed as if she's talking to someone else now.
"Hi, Trece, Hawk," she called, a hint of smile on her voice. "Looks like we have another target this time, is the warehouse ready?"
And hell, I had goosebumps.
Mom asked to talk to Sol and as much as I loved having his warmth, I had to let him go. Naupo akong muli sa sofa habang kinakalma ang sarili.
I was still scared but my tears already got drained from weeping on the street earlier with Solomon.
I believe my parents. I know they do something about this and I trust it will be deserving for that piece of shit. I wonder how many aspiring artists did he manipulated with that offer? He should root in hell and dance to the fire eternally until nothing will be left but his black ashes.
If I could be the devil, I would watch with glee as he was getting tortured.
Natatakot pa rin ako sa nangyari pero sa presensya at suporta ng pamilya ko'y nabawasan na iyon at nakalma. Lalo nan ang muling pumasok si Sol na hindi ko mabasa ang ekspresyon muli.
His expression shifted upon seeing me. Tumayo ako para salubungin siya at nang ilahad niya ang braso ay tumakbo na ako para magpabuhat.
He caught me with no hesitations. I tangled my legs on his waist while he's supporting my back.
"Are you okay?" he whispered.
"Anong sabi ni Mommy?" I whispered back.
"She gave me permission to let you stay here," bulong niya pabalik habang umuupo sa sofa kaya nakakandong na ako sa kanya paharap, nakatago pa rin ang mukha sa leeg niya. "They will be here after a few days, may aasikasuhin lang daw na importante."
I know what that important thing was but I didn't voice it out, mas niyakap ko lang si Sol at sinamyo ang bango niya.
His fingers traced my back, assurance was laced with his every kisses on my hair.
"Sorry, nag-alala ka pa," bulong ko.
"Is that why you were behind the truck?"
"Hmm," ipinikit ko ang mata. "Good thing my dad taught me how to do self-defense. Binayagan ko siya tapos tumakbo."
He sighed, "good girl," inilayo niya ako sa kanya at sinapo ang pisngi ko. "You are so brave. I'm proud of you, angel. You did great."
"Pero sana nagsabi ako," kinagat ko ang labi, nahihiya. "Sana hindi ako nagtiwala kaagad. Sana nagpasama ako sa kahit sino, nagpaalam. Paano kung 'di ako nakatakas? Kung may nangyaring masama sa akin? Masasaktan kayo, ang pamilya ko. Si Daddy, iiyak ang Daddy ko..."
"It wasn't your fault," he caressed my skin, "it will never be, angel. You are a victim here. Kahit sabihin nating nagtiwala ka at 'di nagpaalam, kahit kailan ay 'di mo magiging kasalanan na binastos ka ng gagong 'yon."
"Sol..."
"It was never your fault you trusted too much," umiling siya. "Walang taong gagawa no'n kung maayos siya mag-isip kaya kahit anong tiwala mo, kung gago siya, gago siya."
My eyes softened.
Oh, God. I love this man.
Hinaplos ko pabalik ang kanyang pisngi, "I'm sorry for letting you worry. You're mad?" hinaplos ko ang panga niya.
"Sa totoo lang galit na galit ako," his jaw clenched tighter. "Gusto kong puntahan ang gagong 'yon para ako na ang babali sa buto niya hanggang sa 'di na siya makagalaw pero mas kailangan mo ng kasama mo ngayon. Sinabi ni Ma'am Alyx na sila na ang bahala, hindi ako bayolenteng tao pero gusto kong... tang ina, ibang usapan kapag 'yong mahal ko ang inaagrabyado."
I smiled giddily, "patay na patay ka sa 'kin?"
"Fuck..." he cursed. I cackled and caressed his face. I planted a kiss on his forehead before burying my face again on his neck.
"Don't worry, I'm glad you're here," I whispered, "sila Mommy na ang bahala sa matandang hukluban na 'yon. If they slice his fucking dick, I would even give them a loud applause."
He tensed up more kaya hinalikan ko na ang leeg niya, "kalma, h'wag ka na gagalit..."
He touched my back, "alam na alam mo talaga kung paano ako makukuha," he breathed. "Alam na alam mo kung gaano ako kapatay na patay sa 'yo?"
"Hmm," I grinned happily and cuddled more, "sa ganda kong 'to, hindi na ako nagulat."
"Conceited," he whispered.
"Idiot," I whispered back and chuckled.
Hinaplos niya ang likod ko, tila kinakalma't pinapatulog ako sa init niya nang marinig ko siyang magsalita.
"I'm sorry again from what happened before," he started. "Nagalit ako no'ng malaman ko 'yong pustahan kasi nagtiwala ako sa 'yong 'di gagawin 'yon."
"It's my fault. I understand your anger," bulong ko. "Ginusto ko ring sumali noon kahit sabihin nating na-pressure lang ako sa mga kaibigan ko. I have my own mind and decisions and I might have withdrawn from the bet, I still agreed to it in the first place. Even I, was disappointed to myself."
Hindi siya kaagad umimik kaya pinaraanan ko ng ilong ang tainga niya, "sorry, Sol,"
"I forgave you a long time ago," he whispered back. "You've owned your mistake, angel. Wala namang taong perpekto. Kahit ako gago rin."
Lumayo ako, sinapo ang kanyang pisngi at tumitig sa kanya, "don't say that, you aren't,"
"I am a fucktard too, angel," he reached for my palm on his cheek and brought it closer to his lips for a soft kiss. "Noon, sinabi ko sa 'yong walang karapatan ang ibang taong husgahan ka pero ginawa ko rin sa 'yo. Anong pinagkaiba ko ro'n, hindi ba?"
My chest ached.
"You don't have to—"
"You shouldn't praise me as if I'm a saint," he said, "you told me that before and I'm saying the same to you now. I wasn't one, baby. I'm a complete mess like you, too."
Doon na nangilid ang luha ko.
"You aren't the person people define you to be, angel. Walang makakapagsabi sino ka, hindi ang ibang tao, hinding-hindi ako kung hindi ikaw lang. You knew yourself better than everyone and I know you knew how beautiful, kind and talented you are."
Hinawi niya ang luha ko, "may nagawa ka sa akin noon at oo, nasaktan ako kasi nga pinagkatiwalaan kita. I have planned a future with you in it but turned out it was a bet and I thought I was only worth a branded bag—"
"Hindi..." umiling ako, "you are more than life to me, Sol."
"Alam ko," ngumiti siya, "you are worth more than life, too, angel. I was just too clouded with anger before and hated you. I've said words I didn't mean in anger."
"I understand, I was like that, too." Tumango ako, naiintindihan ang side niya. "I was so used of judging people before, too, na no'ng ako na ang nahusgahan, natanto kong mali pala. We have mistakes and fucked up sides, both of us. Seems like we're both a complete mess?"
"Mess together," he kissed my palm briefly again, "I'm still sorry, baby. I hope you understood where I was coming from before. Masakit na malaman na gano'n pala at no'ng nalaman kong kaibigan mo pala si Mila..."
"Ex-friend, baby," inabot ko ang buhok niya para suklayin paakyat. "I have no friends with the likes of her. She's a disgusting bitch."
His eyes glinted, "that's my angel,"
"I know, right?" I beamed then gently brushed his scalp. "Are you doing alright now, Sol? I didn't know what your whole story was with that woman who-must-not-be-named."
He smiled lazily and rested his back on the sofa, "it was a long time ago. She's been jailed, too."
"Still," I sighed, "she was jailed because we dug into her background and found her dirty secrets, may mga iilang lumabas na lalaki rin noon sa ginawa niya."
"Chiel talked to me about this," he started, "I told him my side of the story but I didn't show myself in court. Luckily, her other victims came into light and testified. No'ng mga panahong 'yon kasi, kakamatay lang ni Nanay at wala akong lakas magpakita pa roon at alalahanin ang nangyari."
"Not everyone can easily recover from things like that, Sol." Umiling ako, "she took advantage of you and all those men. If she liked someone, she would drug them and disguise it as sex when in fact..." nahihirapang lumunok ako.
"Naiindihan kita, ang dali lang sa taong utusan ka at sabihin sa 'yong sana sinabi mo ang nangyari pero sa totoong buhay? Para sa biktima, mahirap iyon. Nakakatakot." My lips trembled upon thinking of it. It was completely different but at the same time same as that what happened to me.
He nodded. He reached for my hair and played on the tips quietly until he spoke.
"I was drunk, I didn't know her." He started, "medyo nagloko ako noon sa pag-aaral, nakikisama sa mga barkada. Ayaan ng inuman, bilyar."
The image of a young, bad boy Sol made me smile. He's cute.
"Oo, kagaya ng iniisip mo, gwapo." I snapped when I heard it. He chuckled lowly. "Halatang-halata, Miss Sandejas."
"Tss, kwento ulit. 'Di ko sinabing pansinin mo itsura ko." Sabay halukipkip ko sa harapan niya.
His eyes lingered on his shirt I'm wearing. Wala akong bra kaya bakat na bakat ang nipples ko. Tumikhim siya at umiwas. I smiled secretly.
What a good boy.
"I've met her, she's in a circle of friends. Piyesta ata iyon no'n kaya 'di ko alam kanino siya kasama. She was a bit touchy and I thought it was normal, I didn't even had girlfriends before."
"Oh?" namilog ang mata ko.
He chuckled, nodding.
"I thought she wanted to get close to me or wanna be friends so I let her, kasama namin siya sa inuman. Masyado akong lasing na no'n kaya 'di ko na alam kung anong nangyari basta nag-black out ako." Humugot siya ng malalim na buntonghininga, "tapos pagkagising ko, natanto ko na lang na gano'n pala ang nangyari. Ayoko pero..."
Niyakap ko siya nang mahigpit at hinalikan ang pisngi. I could feel him trembling on my touch.
"Nahihiya naman akong sabihin o magtanong sa mga kaibigan ko kasi... kasi lalaki ako, 'di ba? Naisip ko noon, nakakahiya naman na malaman nilang may gumawa no'n sa akin tapos hindi ko nalabanan. Kasi... kasi lalaki ako."
"Bullshit! Ano ngayon kung lalaki? Sa tingin ba nila palagi kayong malakas? Na hindi kayo nate-take advantage?!" enraged and pissed, I moved away to stare at him.
"Not everyone had that kind of mindset, angel," hinawakan niya ang braso ko. "Nakakahiyang magsabi na gano'n ang nangyari kaya kinimkim ko, hindi ko sinabi kina Nanay. Akala ko nga mababaliw na ako kung hindi lang ako kinausap ni Sir Jer tungkol sa pag-aaral. Naisip kong gusto kong ayusin ang sarili para 'di na maulit iyong noon kaya doon ako nag-focus."
"Uulitin ko ang sinabi mo sa akin kanina rin," I cleared my throat. "It wasn't your fault you were harassed and taken advantage like that, Sol. Kahit intoxicated ka pa sa alak, siya ang may gawa no'n. Kasalanan 'yon no'ng stupid bitch."
He laughed at my remark, "you're right..."
I winked at him, "oh, 'di ba? May natutunan ako sa 'yo tapos bilis kong na-apply. Sa 'yo pa mismo!"
"No'ng nag-aaral ako naiisip ko pa rin 'yong ginawa niya kasi alam kong mali. May mga araw na 'di ako makatulog o malalim ang iniisip. Baka nabaliw na nga ako kung hindi lang dumating si Fritzy."
"My Fritz..." I smiled.
"Our Fritz," he corrected. Kinilig naman ang vagina ko.
"Ano ba..." I smacked him.
He smirked and caressed my waist, "baka nabaliw na ako kakaisip sa nangyari kung 'di lang dumating si Fritzy sa buhay ko. No'ng nakita ko siya sa ospital noon, nabuhayan ako. Nawala sa isip ko ang nangyari at nag-focus lang sa anak ko. Wala na nga rin akong interes noon sa babae, sabi ko, tatanda akong mag-isa. Magiging abala na lang ako sa kakasuntok sa manliligaw ni Fritzy kaso dumating ka."
"At dinamay pa ako!" I blurted. He chuckled and reached for me until he's kissing my jaw.
"Unang kita ko sa 'yo no'ng sumama ka rito kasama ang pamilya mo. Lahat sila nag-iingay tapos ikaw tahimik, nagpo-phone."
I imagined my face in a poker one while boredly clicking my phone.
"Unang salubong natin dinaanan mo lang ako habang naka-earphone ka. Unang irap mo sa 'kin 'yong kininditan kita no'ng nakita kitang kumakain ng tinapay habang nakasakay ako sa kabayo."
I tilted my head, "why can't I remember it?"
"Kasi nga wala kang interes," he pinched my cheek. "I was even confident you'd notice me kasi nakatitig ka habang nagpe-flex ang muscle ko habang nangangabayo. Macho ko kaya no'n."
Ang yabang.
"Hmm, edi swerte mo pala," tinaasan ko siya ng kilay sabay paraan ng daliri sa dibdib niya. He followed the tip of my finger and swallowed. I smirked.
"Bakit?" aniya sabay huli ng daliri ko at pasok ng daliri niya sa pagitan ng palad ko.
"Kasi napapansin ka na ng crush mo," I smiled cutely.
Napanganga siya, mas natawa naman ako nang mamula na.
"Alam mo, mahal na mahal kita, Sibyl Timothea, pero masyado naman tayong mayabang sa part na 'yan?" bumusangot siya kaya mas naaliw lang ako.
"What's not to boast, Sol? You should be proud nga kasi 'yong crush mong 'di pinapansin ang pag-flex ng muscles mo no'ng nangangabayo ka noon... ikaw na ang kinakabayo ngayon?"
His jaw dropped. Ngumisi naman ako at bago pa man siya makapagsalita ay ipinatong ko ang daliri para sa quiet sign sa labi niya sabay lapit ng labi ko.
I pressed my lips to where my finger was to not kiss him at all and mumbled the words while locking seductive gazes at him.
"I love you and you love me pero kasi, baby, pinalaki akong dalagang Filipina ni Daddy pogi kaya..." I breathed dramatically, "manligaw ka muna."
"Sib..." he mumbled hotly.
"Shh, no touching while we're in the courtship. Conservative kasi ako," I winked at him playfully.
We just settle into a warm and comforting hug to ease the tension.
Kalmado na ako matapos ng ilang minutong yakap ang Solomon ko. Hinayaan niya akong nakakaupo paharap sa hita niya habang nakaupo sa sofa pero rinig na rinig ko ang marahas niyang tipa sa telepono.
I pretended to be sleeping for a while. I kept on hearing his aggressive typing, as if he was enraged and pissed kaya ang isang mata'y binuksan ko sabay silip sa phone niyang kita ko sa pwesto ko kapag iginilid ang ulo.
SibylProtectionSquad: What do you mean it's her fault? Tanga ka ba?
SibylProtectionSquad: Oh? Talaga baka ikaw pinanganak na kulang sa nutrisyon kaya ganyan mindset mo?
My eyes widened.
DiegoL: Don't worry, Sibyl! Poprotektahan ka namin, dito ka na lang sa akin aalagaan kita.
SibylProtectionSquad: @DiegoL no thanks. di niya kailangan ng proteksyon mo
DiegoL: @SibylProtectionSquad makaangkin naman akala mo sa kanya hahahaha fanpage ka lang boy, di mo pag-aari si Sibyl. Trying hard naman tong fanpage di naman kayo kilala ni Sibyl as if namang pinapansin kayo niyan eh nagpapicture nga ko diyan sabi niya gwapo ko raw
My brow shot up. I felt Sol tensing I even heard him swallowed intensely.
SibylProtectionSquad: @DiegoL nice joke ha-ha ha. who says? Sabihin mo 'yan sa kanyang nakaupo sa hita ko ngayon
But he deleted it immediately and typed again.
SibylProtectionSquad: @DiegoL asa ka, tanga!
I wickedly tilted my head and gave him sudden yet sweet neck kisses, "grabe naman. Seloso ka pala sa personal, Admin S."
He froze.
"Shit..." he cursed, I smirked. "You're awake?"
"Ay, hindi, Sol. Sleep talking 'to," bulong ko sabay halik paakyat sa kanyang panga.
I could feel him tensing underneath me. I knew Sol so well I could feel his raging boner beneath my panty-less boxer.
"Sibyl..."
"Hmm?" I kissed his jaw sensually and moved my hips for a tease.
"Sibyl Timothea," he called again. Pinirmi niya ang baywang ko't mas lumalim ang paghinga. "What the hell are you doing, baby?"
"Just soothing your jealousy away, Admin S," I moved my hips sensually and placed my hand on his shoulder, watching his jaw clench.
He groaned. I chuckled more.
"Alam mo?"
"Paanong 'di ko mapapansin, eh, sobrang obvious n'yong dalawa ni Liza? Sa lahat ba naman ng codename, baby, Admin S pa?"
His face crumpled. I grinned and kissed the side of his lips teasingly, grinding my hips back and forth.
"Sibyl," he warned, "akala ko ba conservative ka..."
"Oo nga," parang wala lang na sagot ko sabay ngiti sa kanya, "masama bang kino-comfort kita?"
"Comfort..." he smirked, "this is comfort to you, angel, huh? Grinding that pussy on my cock?"
"Oh, dirty talk," I gasped happily, "I missed you talking dirty to me, baby. Mostly now that I could feel how hard that cock is for me."
He gasped, napairit ako nang haltakin niya ang baywang ko papalapit sa kanya. His rough jeans felt so big underneath mine, napadaing ako nang gumanti siya ng ulos sa akin.
Heat spread like wildfire. I could feel the heat gushing in between my lips.
"You know too well that cock's yours, Sandejas," it was his time now to give me a teasing kiss on the side of my lips. When I attempted to kiss him, ipinaling niya ang ulo. Dumaing na ako.
"Sol!" I whined.
"Your rules, angel," he licked the side of my lips, "no touching while in courtship. I fuck hard but I'm a gentleman, I won't take advantage to the woman I wished to marry."
"Fuck..." I frustratedly groaned, "I was kidding, Sol. We could—"
"Nope," he watched me wickedly while I'm dry humping him. "No relationship then no—"
"Sinasagot na kita!" I exclaimed loudly.
He froze then suddenly laughed, "what?!" I whined.
"Sorry but..." he stifled a laugh and tried getting serious when he saw my glaring eyes. "Alam kong hindi ka masyadong marupok sa kagwapuhan ko, angel, pero agad-agad?"
"Hindi naman agad-agad, ah?" sumulyap ako sa orasan, "twenty minutes pa lang!"
"I know, baby, but..." he laughed again, "but you deserved a dedicated courtship. Not just in a heat of the moment."
He has a point but I'm in the mood for the evil Sibyl.
"Edi don't," I mumbled and stood. Tatalikod na dapat ako para mag-inarte pero natatawang hinila niya ako pabalik hanggang sa nakaupo na ako sa kanyang hita.
"Sibyl..." he whispered, hugging me from the back.
"Hmp..."
His husky voice echoed inside my head when he kissed me briefly on my ear, "I thought we're resorting to courtship, angel? No touch unless in a relationship kasi conservative ka?"
"Kaya nga sinasagot na, eh!" mas humalukipkip ako at nguso.
Isiniksik niya ang mukha sa pagitan ng leeg ko at pabirong kumagat doon, "nope, angel. Nadadala ka lang. You're horny and damn wet but I don't want your yes because of sex."
"It's not just sex," I hissed frustratedly, couldn't believe I'm in heat while arguing. "I'm saying yes to you because I love you. Sex is just a bonus!"
"Hmm, I'm tempted, too." Bumaba ang palad niya sa tiyan ko, sa waistband ng boxers niyang suot ko. "But I wanted to show you you're worthy of courtship and love. Because you're amazing. You're always worth it for me."
"Then, show it," napapikit na ako at napahawak sa braso niya nang pumasok ang palad niya sa tiyan ko't humahaplos na roon. I jolted when I got wetter again. I thrusted myself in Sol's one leg.
"Fuck..." he cursed.
"Just give in, baby," inangat ko ang palad niya sa dibdib ko, inaaya siyang pisilin iyon hanggang sa umuungol na ako. "Give in and fuck me."
"I wanna court you, angel," nanghihinang laban pa niya kahit pinipilit na lang. Muli siyang humalik sa leeg ko't kumagat doon.
"Then, court me," singhap ko at mas dinama ang malaking palad niyang humuhulma sa dibdib ko sa ilalim ng kanyang shirt. "Who said you can't court me while making out?"
"Make out?" doon na nagliwanag ang boses niya, "we can make out while courting?"
"Why not?" nilingon ko siya, muling nang-aakit ng halik. "It's different with sex, right?"
Gusto ko pa sanang humirit pero baka mawala pa ang offer at nang tumango siya't ngumisi na ako.
Umatras siya ng bahagya. I pushed him closer to the hand rest of the sofa kaya napasandal siya doon at bahagyang napahiga ang kalahati ng katawan.
I moved closer and sat on his stomach with my back facing him and palmed his jeans.
"Tang ina..." mura niya habang tinatanggal ko ang belt niya paalis.
Naramdaman ko ang pagpalo niya sa pang-upo ko, dahilan para mapaungol at mas naging excited.
"I can't reach you, angel," reklamo niya dahil bahagyang nakaupo.
"Wait," I answered hastily, opened his zippers and let his cock sprang free in front of me.
"Sibyl..." he protested.
I lifted my body a little, I was basically trying to put my legs up on his shoulder while he's elevated on his seat.
"Holy shit," he cursed and assisted me. "Anong ginagawa mo? Mababalian ka!"
"Oh, come on," I tilted my head to watch him. "You might be forgetting your girl's a former ballerina?"
His eyes darkened in lust, "you're not a former—"
"That's not the point, baby. What I meant was I'm damn flexible. I won't snap if that's what you're afraid about." I winked at him, "just help me straddle your shoulder and that pussy's all yours."
And damn, Sol was competitive. He did.
I took him by my mouth while I'm riding his tongue and face fucking him. I'm a bit inverted, reason why I could take all of his large and veiny maleness inside my mouth without much trouble.
Bahagyang ibinaba niya ang katawan kaya mas napahiga siya. He dulved inside of me, his tongue fucking me, thrusting in and out while I was bobbing my head up and down to pleasure him back.
I was satisfied with the way I am hearing his desperate calls while I'm taking him all in. I pumped him harder with my palms, up and down with my mouth as his final destination. I played with his balls, groaning while feeling him on me.
"Sibyl..." he called and reached for me. "Angel, damn it, come here."
Tumigil tuloy ako. Nilingon ko siya at ang madilim niyang mga mata ang nasalubong. Lust was written all over his face.
"Why?"
"Sit on my face," he commanded. My eyes widened.
"Seriously?"
"Now, Sandejas," he commanded. "Sit on my face. I want the pussy riding my face."
Just his words... oh my gosh... I think I've already reached the highest cloud.
Excited and horny, I was too quick to move my legs and straddled his face and rode his tongue. I fisted his hair, thrusting myself on his face until I moaned loudly and lost my balance.
"Fuck, careful, angel..." hinahapo pa ako nang alalayan niya ako sa may dibdib niya.
"That's..." suminghap ako sabay titig sa mukha ni Sol, "that's fucking hot."
He licked his lower lip with all those juices I spilled and lifted his arms behind his head. His sexy underarms made me giggle but I remembered him.
"You're not..." I glanced at his hardened and still massive cock.
"It's okay, I can manage," umiling siya sabay lahad ng braso sa akin. "Come on, higa ka sa dibdib ko."
"No, I want to..." muli akong sumulyap doon. I gave him a pleading look and basing on the way his jaw clench and his eyes glisten, I am sure he's still horny as fuck.
"Alright," he gave up. "Knees on the floor, angel."
I do not need to be told twice. Mabilis akong lumuhod sa sahig matapos niyang lagyan iyon ng unan. He sat up. I went closer and gripped his leg when he shoved himself inside my mouth.
He was moaning. His baritone and sexy call of my name only made me wetter. I could hear the sloppy sound my saliva mixing with his pre-cum are making, tasting a bit salty but damn delicious for me.
He jolted, muntik na akong magprotesta nang inalis niya ang kanya pero napakagat labi lang sa ginawa niya. He was coming after his breath, his chiseled chest running up and down with his hair falling on his forehead.
He was sexily gasping for air as he pumped his cock in front of me and when he came, it hit my face and chest.
"Fuck..." napamulat ako nang hinila niya ang shirt niya sabay punas sa mukha ko. "I'm sorry for the mess." Namumula siya't nagtatago ng ngisi habang sinasabi iyon.
"I love mess, Sol," I licked my lower lip, "I loved your mess."
Both satisfied and giddy, we decided to take a bath. Walang nangyari dahil gentleman si Sir Sol at 'di na nagpaakit no'ng pinakitaan ko ng boobs.
He turned me back on the shower instead and washed my body with soap. He even lathered my hair with shampoo and scrubbed my body.
I fell in love more. Baka mabagok na ako rito sa sobrang pagkahulog.
Si Solomon na ako raw ang anghel. 'Di niya alam siya ang hulog ng langit sa akin. Bonus na iyong nahuhulog din ang t-back ko sa kanya.
Panibagong shirt na naman niya ang suot ko habang nanunuod kami ng movie. He combed my hair first and now, he was seated on the floor and massaging my foot. He even gave me a foot bath earlier.
"Kailan uuwi si Fritz?" I asked.
"Tomorrow," he answered and smiled. Nagwala ang puso ko sa excitement, "sunduin natin sa airport?"
"Oh, gosh, sure!" I gasped loudly, "pero... pero wala man lang akong gift! Sana pala sinabi mo kaagad—"
"You will be Fritzy's greatest gift, angel," inangat niya ang tingin sa akin, kumikislap ang mata.
"Ako? Bakit ako?"
"You once told me she deserved to know what was my role in her life. I've told Fritzy about me," napatakip ako sa bibig. "Yes, angel. I do."
"How?" I suppressed my smiles, "I mean... how did she react?"
"Great, she cried." Natawa siya, ang mata'y malambing at kumikislap. "Natatakot nga ako sa magiging reaksyon niya no'ng una. Matutuwa ba siya? Magagalit? Malulungkot? Pero inalala ko 'yong sinabi mo noon na paniguradong sasaya si Fritzy kapag nalaman niyang ako ang Papa niya."
My eyes stung, "Sol..."
"You're right, angel," he smiled heartily. "My daughter cried, not in pain but in happiness."
I reached for his cheek, "I'm proud of you."
"Thank you, it's because of you," hinalikan niya ang palad ko. "Natakot akong malungkot siya dahil may Papa siya at walang Mama pero hindi raw siya maghahanap kasi mayro'n siyang ikaw..."
"S-Sol..." doon na ako napaiyak.
Tumayo siya para ikulong ako sa kanyang braso.
"You are a great mother and sister to our Fritz, Sibyl," he whispered gently. "Contrary to my asshole self before, I have proved how wrong I was for belittling your ability as a mother because you are great, angel. You are amazing. You are so brave and I'm so in love with you."
Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit, umiiyak sa tuwa.
"Kaya h'wag mong mamaliitin na ang sarili mo ngayon, anghel ko," bulong niya. "You are what you think you do. You can do what you wished. Dancing? Acting? Photography? You can do it all. You are amazing. Don't think so little of yourself because you are everything to me and Fritzy."
Magkayakap kaming dalawa habang pinapakalma niya ako. Hearing those words from my family and from him helped me to slowly heal the inner wounds I didn't know I still had until I saw them.
I was caged from this fear and blaming myself but Solomon, he freed me.
Sunod-sunod na doorbell lang ang nagpahiwalay sa amin. Nagtatakang tinignan ko si Sol na napakamot na ng kilay habang tumatayo.
"Kung si Liza na naman 'to isasama ko na 'to kay Nash sa Going Bulilit," reklamo niya at martsa sa pintuan and as expected, binati siya ng bunganga ni Liza.
"Ikaw talaga, para kang tanga!" Singhal nang nakapaywang na kaibigan habang inaangat ang phone niya. "Nakipag-away ka na naman sa fan account!"
"Tss..." simangot ni Sol, "how could I? Nakakainis, eh—"
Hinampas ni Liza ang braso ni Sol.
"Oo! Oo nga, pero ayusin mo! Nakakastress, naba-bash na rin tayo! Paano natin pagtatanggol si Sib kung tanggalin ang account natin? Tayo ang pinakamalaking fanbase!"
She still isn't seeing me. Napataas ang kilay ko.
"Edi sorry," walang pakialam na sabat ni Sol.
Gago talaga 'to.
"Anong sorry? Puro ka na lang sorry," she hissed and smacked him again. "Alam kong boss kita sa trabaho pero intern lang kita sa ganitong usapan, ah? Ano? Sorry tapos makikipagbardagulan ka ulit? Tapos ako na naman magda-damage control?!"
She might've noticed me for she stopped after. Parang nasa horror movie siya no'ng lumingon at nang makita ako ay napasigaw sa gulat.
"Hi, Admin L?" I greeted and waved cutely.
"S-Si..." she pointed me then Sol. "Bakit..."
I smiled at her, "hi, admin?"
"Hindi ako si Admin L!" she exclaimed exaggeratedly, gasping.
"Oh?" ngumuso ako, "isn't it Admin Solomon and Admin Liza—"
"Admin Libag!" she cut me off, "l-libag 'yon, Sib! Hindi Liza!"
'Di ko na naiwasan. The poker face I'm sporting faded and I burst out laughing while shaking my head.
"Alright, Admin Libag," I greeted and stood, bowing cutely. "It's nice meeting you. If you're Libag, what's S, then? Admin Seloso?"
Sol's face crumpled. Naguguluhang napatulala si Liza sa aming dalawa. She gave Sol a look then he nodded.
"She knows," he confessed and my eardrums almost exploded when Liza screamed, ran closer to slap my arm until I almost fell on the floor. Na-exposed na raw ang anonymity ng fans club nila.
Walang nagawa si Sol nang mag-announce si Liza na dito siya matutulog. We watched another movie pero puro kwentuhan lang kami ni Liza tungkol sa nangyari kanina ang nangyari at sa busy ni Nash dahil simula na naman daw ng campaign para sa botohan at tatakbo ulit bilang Mayor.
We slept after and due to exhaustion, I've slept peacefully and soundly beside Liza while she's hugging me.
That night, I was at peace. I was happy.
Kapag talaga sa probinsya'y maaga kang magigising dahil sa tilaok ng manok. Pagkagising ko'y wala na si Liza sa kwarto at may nakahandang kape na sa side table kaya kinuha ko iyon, nangingiti.
I took a quick shower and was planning to use the clothes na dinrayer ko kagabi nang makita ang paper bag. It has a note from him saying he bought something for me.
It was a cute, simple yet classy light brown boho dress. I wore it and went down to look for them when I heard the commotion outside.
Nangunot ang noo ko. Lumabas ako at nagtaka nang makita ang iilang matanda sa front porch. Sa may lamesa gate ay may mga mukhang tumatakbong kandidato ng SK or something, nakadungaw din.
"Naku, salamat talaga, hijo! Bata pa kasi ang mga apo ko kaya wala akong mapakisuyuan!" the familiar old lady praised.
"Ay, naku, wala lang ito kay Sol! Tignan mo naman ang muscles, Aling Letty! Magaling 'to magsibak!"
My eyes landed to where Sol was. I almost spit the coffee I'm drinking seeing him sweating while wearing his pants, naked on top with his disheveled hair.
Hinahalikan ng araw ang kanyang morenong balat habang hawak ang palakol at nagsisibak ng kahoy.
Tumaas ang kilay ko at sumulyap sa gate, nakita ang mga tumatakbong SK na nakadungaw na.
"Pogi naman niyan, Liza! Pakilala mo naman kami!"
Sol lifted his cold gaze to where the girls are. Napangiti siya at tumango para batiin sila. They squealed.
Ano? Ano? Ano?
"Ay, naku, sorry na kayo! Taken na ito!" ani Liza.
Goods tayo d'yan, friend!
Hindi pa ako nakikita ng dalawa. Dire-diretso akong naglakad patago sa gilid nina Aling Letty para manuod ng live show ng manliligaw ko.
His triceps are flexing. Ilang beses ko na siyang nakitang hubad pero iba pa rin talaga kapag nasa liwanag at nasisinagan ng araw ang katawan niya. Parang Diyos ng Araw ang paraan ng paghalik ng sinag nito sa balat niyang may pawis.
Ripped. Not bulky but athletic. Matangkad, moreno, macho, gwapo! In short. Sa. Akin.
Sumimsim ako ng kape habang nakatitig sa tiyan niya. Ayan, libreng pa-pandesal sa umaga galing sa mga kaibigan ni Mayor!
Lumabi ako, walang hiyang pinapanuod siya. Nag-uusap ang lahat at nagkikwentuhan. Ang mga babae'y nakatulala sa fascination sa manliligaw ko. Which, I don't blame them. Because same.
My focused are on him and his flexing muscles as he lifted the axe to wield it against the wood. Nawarak iyon sa gitna.
Oh, Shit. Nawarak din ata ang T-back ko.
He did it again. My breath hitched.
Oh my God, anong ten months pregnant?! Lalabas na ang ulo ng sanggol!
Mas napalunok ako at napakapit sa kape ko.
Sol then dried the sweat on his face using the while towel on his shoulder and lifted the axe again to cut the wood in half and I couldn't stop myself anymore.
"Oh my God! Sibakin mo rin ako!" I screamed and the crowd went silent.
