Maki Say's: REVISED VERSION PO ITO KAYA BUMALIK SA CHAPTER ONE TO SEVEN. SAKA ANTOK NA AKO, KUNG MAY GRAMMATICAL ERRORS WIT AKIZ PAKI. HIHI GOODNIGHT!

First.

"Noelle, hindi na talaga joke ang pamumutla mo." Inabot ni Donna ang kanyang leeg at dinama iyon. "Hala Friendship may lagnat ka!"

"Okay lang ako." Tumalikod siya at kinuha ang mga hand towels mula sa sterilizer. Tatlong araw nang masama ang pakiramdam niya. Good thing at hindi nagpakita si Midnight sa kanya noong mga nakaraang araw simula noong huling pagkikita nila. 

Kagaya nga ng iniisip niya, all talk ang binata, no walk.

Nag-init ang pisngi niya kasabay ng totoong mainit na pakiramdam niya. Nag-eexpect ba siya?

Better not.

The intimacy they shared was nothing. Ni hindi nga niya makitaan ng pag-iingat ang abogado sa kanya. Isa lang siyang bagay na pupwedeng gamitin kung gusto nito. Siguro dahil wala na itong masisingil mula sa kanya kaya ang sarili na lang niya ang kinukuha nito.

Kinukuha nga ba? As far as she knows, she the recepient of pleasure. Wala pa nga siyang ginawa kundi tugunin ang mga halik nito at hindi siya nahirapan sa parteng iyon. She likes it. His sexy full lips and its hypnotizing spell. Isang beses pa lang naman siyang nahalikan pero kakaiba iyon kahit alam naman niyang hindi iyon espesyal.

"Lagnat? Sinong may lagnat?" Pumasok si Kiefer doon sa Food and Beverage area. Malapit na niyang isipin na merong ikinabit si Kiefer na tracker sa kanyang katawan dahil lagi itong nandoon sa kwentuhan nila ni Donna. Tinotoo ata ang sinabi nitong kailangan na niyang mag-ingat sa mga ikinikilos niya.

"Si Noelle po, Ma'am." Turo sa kanya ni Donna.

"Ay jusmiyo!" Tili nito, "Bakit ba nauuso ang lagnat lagnat na yan? Ibalik mo yan doon sa sterilizer." Pagtutulak nito sa kanya, "Tapos umuwi ka na. Si Dondon kasi nung isang araw pumasok ng may lagnat pa, ayan at nahawaan ka pa. Ayoko ng lagnat sa club! Baka mahawaan ang clients."

Gusto niyang umalma. Ayaw niya sanang gamitin ang leave niya dahil kung sakaling magkaroon ng court trial si Don Martin, gusto niya itong samahan pero wala na siyang magagawa kung ang kanilang manager ang nagpapauwi. Tiyak na hindi lang siya nito babayaran kung mananatili siya,.

Nagtungo na siya sa locker niya pagkatapos isaoli ang hand towels at nagbihis na. Ang reserabng jeans at ang off shoulder sweetheart neckline blouse na nasa locker ang sinuot niya. Hinarap niya ang salamin at gamit ang mga daliri ay sinuklay niya ang mahaba niyang buhok. Namumutla nga siya, wala siyang ganang kumain noon pang umaga pero sinusubukan niyang itago ang sama ng pakiramdam sa ama. Ngayon nga ay uuwi na naman siya ng maaga, tiyak na magtatanong iyon. 

Kinuha niya ang cheektint sa kanyang pouch at dinagdagan ng kulay ang mukha.

"O? Uuwi ka na?" Nilingon niya si Ramil na may kinukuha din sa kanyang locker, katulad niya ay waiter din ito sa club.

Tumango siya, "Pinapauwi na ako ni Sir Kiefer kasi may sakit ako."

"Ganun ba? Sige, doon ka sa harapan dumaan, na-stuck yung tray ng mga tinapay doon sa employee access. Kanina pa kami nag-bubuhat pero mukhang matatagalan pa kasi isa-isa."

Ngumiti siya, "Salamat, Ramil."

Sinuong niya ang daanan patungo doon sa club. Nasalubong pa siya si Kiefer na hindi huminga pagdaan niya. Napapailing siyang ngumiti dito at nagpaalam.

Siksikan, maingay at puno ng usok mula sa smoke machine ang nadatnan ni Noelle sa club. The sensual movements of the guests were in sync with the music. The different colors of the disco lights made her head spin. She felt woozy when she realized that all the people were dancing and moving. Even the walkway was filled with guests swaying their heads and raising her hands.

Few more steps and she was caught between the body heat of the guests smiling and feeling the music. She couldn't move an inch, she wonder how these people get to dance at this small distance. Sumiksik siyang muli nang may maramdaman siyang kamay sa kanyang baywang. Walang paalam nitong hinaplos ang kanyang katawan.

A body grinded against her. She may be naïve but not dense, she felt a hard maleness poked at the exposed part of her back. Sinubok niyang kumawala pero ang dalawang kamay nang sumasayaw sa kanyang likuran ay ikinulong na ang kanyang bewang sa palad nito.

"What's your name, Gorgeous?" Bulong ng isang lalaki na sobrang lapit sa kanyang tainga, a distinct foreign accent was on his voice.

"Sir, I am sorry but I am not in for a dance. Please let me go." Magalang niyang sabi. Humalakhak ito, muli sa kanyang tainga.

"Kahit sandali lang?" Tanong pa nito sa slang na tono. She shrugged and nodded. Hinawakan niya ang kamay nito para ibaba pero hinuli lang nito ang kanyang kamay at pinagdaop ang kanilang mga palad at muling sumayaw.

She sighed heavily, the man reek alcohol. Sanay na siya sa mga customer na nagpapalipad hangin pero wala ni isa man dito ang nakahawak sa kanya, maliban ngayon.

"Sandali lang." The man sexily breathed on her ear. Pilit siyang kumakawala pero sa sobrang hina niya ay wala siyang nagawa. Even her senses did not allow her to think. She could shout but she definitely shouldn't. Baka mawalan siya ng trabaho.

Mariin siyang pumikit. She was at that state when someone pulled her exaggerately away from the heavy arms. Sa sobrang lakas non ay halos mawalan na siya ng balanse, kung hindi lang siksikan sa dance floor ay baka bumagsak na siya sa lupa.

She looked at the person holding her wrist, strong like a cuff. Kahit nakatalikod ito sa kanya ay hindi siya maaring magkamali. Si Midnight iyon. A deep ache settled on his jaw that she realized he was gritting his teeth.

Wala pang ilang segundo ay halos itapon siya nito sa labas ng club. Galit siya nitong hinarap. The three buttons of his dress shirt removed, there were unshaved stubbles on his clenching jaw, he gritted his teeth like any time he would blow fire. Her insides sighed, thinking how gorgeous he was even he looks tired and fuming mad.

"What do you think you are doing?" Sigaw nito. Napalingon siya sa paligid, nakita niyang nakatingin sa kanya si Gisselle at si Sherwin na security guard, ang dalawang bouncer ay nakatuon din sa kanila ang mga mata na pare-parehas na gulat.

"A-attorney.." Malumanay niyang sabi. "S-sa ibang lugar na lang tayo mag-usap." Bulong niya.

His thick eyebrows furrowed. Noelle feared for her life but she knows she needs to endure his tantrums. She needs him, more than anybody else would. This man is her last card to save her family, her father.

"You cannot expect anything from me. You don't know how to follow simple instructions." Pabagsak na wika nito.

Namutla siya, doble pa ata kaysa kanina. Tumalikod na ang abogado papalayo sa kanya. Nakita niyang sumakay ito ng kanyang itim na McLaren at ibinagsak ang pinto. She knocked at the window but he didn't bother to look at her.

"Attorney, sandali lang naman." Naramdaman niya ang pagpapawis na kanina niya pa hindi nararamdaman dahil sa lagnat. "Attorney." Giit niya.

The engine roared, umandar ito papalayo. Papalayo sa kanya.

But she won't give up, would she?

Tumakbo siya, mabuti at meron pang sasakyan na nauna sa abogado at nakahinto ito. She went to the driver side and knock at the window again.

"Attorney."

Umandar muli ang sasakyan at mas mabilis ito kaysa kanina. She made huge strides to cope up. Mas bumilis ang andar ng sasakyan nang makaalis na ito sa tapat ng Hide-out that she needed to run.

Buong lakas siyang tumakbo kahit nahuhuli na siya pero kakampi ata niya ang langit nang maging pula ang stoplight, tumakbo ulit siya at naabutan niya ang sasakyan na hinahabol.

"Sandali lang po. Magpapaliwanag ako. Wala akong sinuway." Sigaw niya sa bintana pero ni hindi man lang siya tinapunan ng tingin. Panay ang katok niya, hindi nawawalan ng pag-asa.

The green light hit her face and the melodramatic horns of the cars behind her made her stucked at her feet. Sa wakas ay tiningnan siya ng binatang hinahabol pero umiling ito at pinaandar muli ang sasakyan.

She ran again, as fast as she could until the strap of her only sandals gave up. Nadapa siya dahil roon.

"Hoy! Nagpapakamatay ka ba?!" Merong nagbaba ng bintana sa kanya pero hindi iyon ang inaasahan niya. Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi niya dahil sa awa sa sarili.

She felt miserable. Hindi niya akalaing kakayanin niyang tumakbo ng ganoon kalayo sa kabila ng sama ng pakiramdam. Wala na siyang pakialam sa pagbusina sa kanya. She picked up her knocked down slipper and walked barefooted to the sidewalk. She sat on her knees and in tears as she tried to fix her sandals.

Wala na siyang pambili, kaisa-isa na lang iyon.

Pinunasan niya ang luha niya habang pilit na isinusuksok ang strap sa pinagtanggalan nito.

Gusto niyang magalit sa mundo pero mas galit siya kay Midnight sa pagiging unfair at walang puso nito.

Kumalam ang sikmura niya at muli ay nakaramdam ng pagkahilo. She wanted to give up. Siguro kung mahihimatay siya ngayon, she would rather be on the streets so someone could pick her up because she cannot walk anymore.

A shadow sheltered her, napatingala siya. Midnight's face lacks humor. His cynical stares were cold and empty. Hindi siya nagpatalo sa lamig non. Hate exploded to her heart like a grenade.

"Kasalanan mo to." Mariing bulong niya at buong tapang.

Tumayo siya gamit ang natitirang lakas at itinuro ang abogado.

"Pinaglalaruan mo lang ako di ba? Sa tingin mo, biro lang ito? Wala ka naman talagang balak tulungan ako hindi ba?"

Naguguluhan siyang tiningnan ng binata, para bang nagulat pa ito sa kanyang pinag-sasasabi. Napangiti siya na parang wala sa sarili.

"Tama ako hindi ba? Pervert ka. Bastos ka. Mahilig ka sa babae. At ginagamit mo ang kakayahan mo para makaakit ng iba. Alam ko yang mga tipo mo. Mayayabang, salbahe. Mga hindi napalaki ng maayos."

"Stop."

"Totoo naman. Wala kang pakialam sa mga babae. Siguro hindi mo mahal ang nanay mo." Panunuya niya pa. She internally celebrated when she saw the hatred on his face, para siyang kakainin nito ng buhay. Tama iyon. Makaganti man lang tutal ay wala naman siyang napala.

"You don't know me."

"Hindi na din kita gustong kilalanin dahil alam ko ang tipo mo. Nakakaramdam ka ng kapangyarihan sa panghihina ng iba. Mas ikinalalaki mo ba iyon?" Tumaas ang kilay niya sa binata na panay na ang pag-galaw ng panga. 

Gusto niyang maging matapang at matigas pero nakaramdam siya ng pagbabara ng lalamunan. Wala sa sariling naitaas niya ang sirang sandals niya at hinampas sa matipunong dibdib ng binata.

"Sira na! Kasalanan mo!" Humikbi siya. "Wala naman talaga akong ginagawa, pauwi na ako noong hinarang ako nung lalaking yon, ayaw niya ako pakawalan." She felt she's going crazy. Tumalikod na siya at naglakad na iisa lang ang sapin sa paa. Hindi niya alam kung saan siya pupunta.

A strong arms lifted her and hung her to his shoulders. Maang siyang napatingin sa likod ng bumuhat sa kanya. Ang kinamumuhian niya ay binubuhat siya. Hindi man lang nito ininda ang bigat niya. 

Why would he, 6 feet tall and about 200 pounds of pure muscle? Ano ba naman ang bigat niya na kalahati lang ata ng bigat nito.

Nakaramdam siya ng matinding pagod nang buhatin siya nito.

"You are hot." Bulong nito. Hinampas niya ang likod nito nang marinig iyon.

"Bastos ka talaga!"

"No, literally. You have a fever."

Naramdaman niyang binuksan nito ang sasakyan. She couldn't open her eyes, she's tired of crying. A seatbelt was hooked on to her. Hindi na siya nakaalma. The last thing she heard was the engine of the car and she passed out.

---

The warm sponge bath woke her up from a deep sleep, mabibigat ang kanyang talukap nang buksan ang mga mata. Her most hated arrogant beast is giving her a sponge bath. Maingat siya nitong pinupunasan.

"Ako na." Tumayo siya. The blanket fell from her chest and she realized that she isn't wearing anything. Masama niyang tiningnan ang binata.

"You were sweating a while ago." Paliwanag ng abogado na ipinagpapatuloy ang pagpunas sa kanyang binti.

"Kailangan kong umuwi."

"Weekends, sinabi mong akin ka." Mariing wika nito.

Tumawa siya ng mapait.

"Wala na akong aasahan sayo hindi ba?" Pag-papaalala niya. Nakasimangot itong tiningnan siya.

"I traced the last lawyer that handled your father's case. I need him to formally endorse me to the case. Sinundan ko pa siya sa Mindoro. I need to pull some tricks for him to do some work for me."

Hindi niya iyon inaasahan. Akala niya ay talagang wala lang itong pakialam sa kanya kaya hindi niya ito nakita nang tatlong araw.

"Tatlong araw. Tatlong araw kitang hindi nakita at maaabutan kitang nakikipagsayaw sa lalaking yon?"

Boy, he sounded like a jealous boyfriend but she knows that is not the case. He's possessive alright, because he considers her as a possession, a thing, without a life.

"Hindi ko nga sinabi kakilala iyon." Pakli niya. Bumaba ang hawak nitong towel patungo sa kanyang paa, napangiwi siya nang punasan niyo ito iyon.

"You were wounded here." Marahang hinaplos nito ang kanyang paa. Streaks of heat crawled through her veins from there. Mali ata ang akusa niyang pervert ang binata, mukhang siya iyon. Kaunting haplos lang ay halos sumayaw na ang kanyang mga ugat at mag-jumping jack ang kanyang dugo.

He encircled his thumb on her heel. She rustled inaudible words. She felt the tormenting tension on her womb as he continues massaging the fingers on her foot. Sinalubong niya ang mainit na titig nito, napalunok siya nang napamura ang binata at marahang hinaplos ang kanyang balat sa ilalim ng comforter.

His hand was warmer than the thick blanket. He parted her thighs and rubbed her velvety skin gently. She unconsciously rested her back at the bed. She bit her lower lip, furtively asking him to go on. Maybe he gets it, he went to her top, trying to avoid his full weight on her, he stared at her and did nothing, just that.

Hindi man lang nakapag-ahit ang binata, siguro sa sobrang kabusy-han nito sa kaso ni Don Martin pero mas lalo lamang itong gumwapo dahil doon. She thinks he saw him in famous Latin Telenovela without the overrated hair on the chest of course. Pinadaplis nito ang daliri mula sa kanyang labi, pababa sa kanyang leeg hanggang sa kanyang dibdib at tumigil na ito doon.

He encircled his thumb on her swollen tip, she whimpered with the smallest touch.

"You are still weak." Bulong nito sa mababang boses.

Weak? Sino?

"Nauuhaw ako." Bulong niya na nakatingin sa labi ng binata.

Double meaning iyon. She's thirsty with water but more like to his addicting kisses. Para siyang baliw. How could she want it that bad? Those rough and emotionless kisses.

She lifted her head up and reached for his lips, umiwas ito ng mukha.

"Easy."

Nag-init ang kanyang pisngi. Ganoon ba iyon? Excited siya?

The man squeezed her breast and she gulped. She really feel she's at her melting point, she heated up so fast because of her fever, she thought. Bumaba ang katawan ng binata mas malapit pa sa kanya, ito mismo ang umabot ng kanyang mga labi. He gave her soft and sloppy kiss but still beautiful.

"Still mad?" He whispered in between his kisses. How could she? Hindi iyon tamang tanong kung hinahalikan siya nito.

"Anong pakialam mo?" Anas niya.

"Damn, you are still mad." He suckled her lower lip as a delicious penalty. His huge, rough hands covered her breast that detonate her inner goddess. She felt the electric shock on the flesh in between her thighs. His fixed gaze owned her. She almost passed out again with the intensity. Every bit of her body tingled. 

He removed the blanket the is covering her, he rambles through her body, sinfully. The warm lighting made her velvety skin flushed.

"F*cking beautiful." He said in a harsh voice. 

From her neck, down to her shoulder, he worshipped her with mouthwatering kisses. She sobbed in delight, she covered her mouth with both hands but he reached for her wrist and pulled it down.

"Let go, let me hear it."

Itinaas niya ang parehas na kamay sa malambot na unan para kumapit doon. She could feel the material of the pillow on her fingers. It dug deeper together with the soft kisses on her womb.

His fingers lashed her flowing bud making it puffed and aching. She screamed again, but this time, without hesitation, without inhibitions.

"Attorney!" She screamed when she felt his warm mouth covered her velvety flesh. She suffered from tremors, uncontrollable twitching of the body but he held on her knees to keep it still. Nasasaktan siya kapag pinipigilan siya pero lalo lamang nanunubig ang kanyang panga sa sobrang pananabik.

She arched her back giving him full access and ownership to her most private part.

"Attorney! Please!" Tili niya, nanlabo na ang kanyang mga mata.

A digit expanded her entrance with his tongue on her slit. She felt the metal taste on her mouth because of excessive biting of the lip. She felt her skin on fire, she felt burning with heat and ice, altogether. She couldn't breath as he started pumping her entrance with his two digits, he was watching her like a predator and she was the prey.

"Do you like this f*ck*ng?" He asked roughly. She nodded her head in a submissive manner. She's at the verge of tears as the lightning of pleasure attacked her womb, teasing it to release. Her entrance tightened, she was involuntary clenching his digits on her sensitive flesh until she felt the burst of juices on her skin.

Ilang pagmumura pa muli ang narinig niya mula sa kaniig, Midnight spread her thighs as wide as he could. He removed his boxers without losing eye contact with her. His hardness sprung free. Halos wala na siyang malay nang pag-isipan kung paano iyon magkakasya sa kanya. All she knows is that it means freedom from the sensual heat deep within her. 

She felt the tip of his shaft testing her entrance. Impit siyang napadaing nang gumalaw ang binata para magdikit ang kanilang katawan. The first attempt was unsuccessful. She closed her eyes and relaxed her body. She needs to do it correctly, she was aching for it, she's curious how it is being done too.

Midnight rested one of his hand to her breast and pushed himself once more to her. Napakagat labi siya. She felt the real stabbing pain. Yumukod ang binata at hinalikan siya sa labi. Those kisses again, it made her relaxed and it lubricated her more, it helped so much as he forcefully managed his way inside her.

"F*ck!" Usal nito sa kanyang labi. He didn't move. His single thrust was deep, painful and delicious but did not went any deeper, no rough movements whatsoever.  Imbes na mamatay ang apoy na nararamdaman niya dahil sa pagtigil nito ay lalo lamang lumakas iyon, nasabik at nag-init. "Damn it."

Napamulat siya sa kabila ng sakit at hapdi. Para siyang sinaksak. Her sex was swollen and in pain, it bring her back to her senses from the numbing pleasure she felt a while ago.

"B-bakit?" Kinakabahang tanong niya, she's wondering if she did something wrong.

"I am your first." Bulong nito sa kanya. "P*ta, ako ang una." Anas nito na parang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at hindi makapaniwala.
