"Take off your clothes," utos ko nang makabalik sa loob dala ang maligamgam na tubig at bimpo.

Masunurin sya kaya sya naghubad agad. Nagulat ako nung bigla niya ring hinubad ang kanyang pantalon at tanging boxers na n'ya lang ang natira. Malakilaki rin ang alaga niya.

"Gusto mo ba akong nakahubad?"

"Siraulo!" naupo ako at pinasadahan ng malamig na bimpo ang kanyang braso at katawan. "Pupunasan ko lang."

Nilagay niya ang kanyang braso sa kanyang noo habang nakatitig sa kisame.

"Precious."

"Hmm?"

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"Sa sinabi ko kanina."

"Saang parte? Marami-rami ka ring sinabi kanina," tanong ko.

"Lahat. Sorry sa lahat ng nasabi ko. I shouldn't have said that," bumuntong hininga siya at pinisil ang kanyang sentido

"Ayos lang, hindi 'yon problema sa akin."

Bumuntong ako pagkatapos kong punasan ang buo n'yang katawan. Masyadong mainit sa katawan ang alak kaya napagdesisyunan ko na ring kumuha ng tubig.

"Ruby?"

Napalingon ako sa boses at nakita si Joanna na nagkukusot ng mata papalapit sa akin.

"Good evening, Joanna."

"Gising ka pa?"

Lumapit sya at kumuha rin ng tubig sa loob ng ref. Tumango ako kahit hindi n'ya yun nakikita.

"Hindi ako makatulog."

"Narinig ko nga pala ang away nyo kanina mula sa taas," sabi niya at nilagyan ng tubig ang kanyang baso. "Hindi ako nakichismis. The commotion was loud and clear for me to hear."

"W-Wala naman akong sinasabi," I hesitantly smiled.

So may iilan ngang nakarinig sa pag-aaway namin kanina. Ang lakas kasing makasigaw nitong si Joseph, nakakabwiset. And I even saw him crying because of me. After hearing those words from him, my chest tightened.

"Ano nga pala ang nangyari? Maaari ko bang malaman?" she asked.

Nilagay ko ang baso sa lababo at hinarap si Joanna.

"Joseph saw me and Adam kissing."

Muntikan na niyang maibuga ang tubig na iniinom sa mukha ko. Mabuti na lang at mabilis niyang nilunok yung tubig.

"K-Kiss? And who's Adam?"

"He's my ex boyfriend."

Tumango-tango siya at muling uminom sa kanyang baso.

"I shouldn't be the one saying this, but you shouldn't really be kissing your ex after break up."

"I have my reasons."

"Did you tell Joseph about those reasons?"

I shook my head. "H-Hindi."

"You should tell him about it. Kaya pala nagwala sya ng ganun kanina," she sighed. "Sorry ha, nakita rin kasi ng dalawang mata ko ang buong pangyayari."

Namula ako sa sobrang hiya. I don't want to remember what happened tonight.

"Mas pinili mong tulungan ang ex boyfriend mo kesa kay current boyfie."

"Is it bad to help? Sinuntok siya ni Seph at nadapa sa lupa. Should I keep watching Joseph beat Adam instead of helping him to get up?"

Umiling siya at nilagay ang baso sa lababo.

"Do you still love him, Ruby?"

Natigilan ako sa kanyang tanong.

"'Iniwan ka niya diba?'" she asked. "'Bulag ka ba'?" She looked at me. "'Mas lasing ka pa siguro kesa sa akin kasi napaka-martyir mo'," she took a step forward, staring directly into my eyes. "'Umaasa ka pa rin ba na magkakabalikan kayong dalawa, ha?'"

I could hear Seph's voice asking me that kanina. I wasn't expecting that she will repeat it. Napakagat labi ako dahil sa sobrang inis. My knees and feet were trembling, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

"Answer it, Ruby," she sighed. "You should tell Seph everything he needs to hear. Everything about what you truly feel or else pareho lang kayong masasaktan."

"H-Hindi," nakayuko kong sagot.

"'Ako ang boyfriend mo'," she nonchalantly said. "'Bakit andiyan ka? Why aren't you here by my side? I was always there for you even when you didn't need me. Why aren't you even here when I need you?'"

"Please," I begged. "Stop," tears were running down from my tear ducts.

Ang babaw masyado ng luha ko. I'm such a crybaby. If dad could see me right now, he'll scold me.

"How ironic it is for people to ignore those who love us and love those who ignore us," naiiling n'yang ibinalik ang pitsel sa loob ng ref tsaka niya ako tinignan. "You better stop living in the past, Ruby. Many people aren't able to move forward because they're stuck inside."

Lumapit siya sa akin at pinisil ang magkabila kong pisngi.

"Kaya ikaw, dapat mong bitawan ang nakaraan at pagtuunan ng pansin si Seph."

"Oo na po– aray," napahawak ako sa namumula kong pisngi.

"Tsaka, sorry din pala sa nangyari nun. Remember? Binuksan ko ng walang katok-katok ang pinto n'yo," she winked. "Good night, Ms. Marupokest."

Nakamove on na ako kay Adam salamat kay Seph. And he's right, he fixed me, not just that, he also saved me from getting drown too much in love. I felt sad when I found out that he's going to spend the night with his friends. I want to spend more time with him but I can't. I want him to be with me. I want him to kiss me. I want to kiss him so bad. I want to cuddle with him. I want to hug him because I missed him so much.

Ngayon ko lang narealize ang lahat ng iyon. I have been simping him for a long time. Pinihit ko ang doorknob at nakitang ganun pa rin ang posisyon n'ya nung iniwan ko siya, but he was sleeping quietly. Baliktad sila ni Ivy kasi ang ingay ni Ivy kung matulog, sobrang lakas makahilik nun.

"Seph," pagtampal ko sa kanyang pisngi. "Inom ka muna ng tubig."

Marahan niyang idinilat ang kanyang mga mata at tinignan akong mabuti. Tinanggap niya ang baso na hawak ko pagkatapos niyang bumangon.

"What are you doing here? You should be resting."

"Paano naman ako makakatulog kung lasing ang boyfriend ko?"

Tinitigan niya ako ng mabuti. Parang tanga! Ngayon niya lang ba ako nakita sa buong buhay niya?

"Problema mo?"

"W-Wala naman," he drank the water in one gulp and placed it on the side table. "Aren't you scared that I might do something to you right now?"

Kumunot ang noo ko. "What do you mean?"

"I'm drunk and naked," he said. "And you're confidently sitting in front of me."

"Bakit? May gagawin ka bang masama sa akin?"

He put his tongue inside his cheeks, which looked cute since he's blushing to death.

"I told you I might."

I leaned against the chair, crossing my arms. Nakataas ang kaliwang kilay ko sa kanya.

"I'll let you."

"What?!"

Nagkibit-balikat lang ako at naupo sa kanyang tabi.

"Let's sleep," I poke his forehead and smile. "Wala kang narinig."

"Meron," ngisi n'ya.

"Wala."

"Meron."

"Wala nga sabi!"

"C'mere," he said, spreading his arms like he wants me to hug him. "Come on."

Buong pwersa kong hinampas ang unan sa kanyang nakangising mukha.

"Gago ka talaga! Shit ka! I don't have time for your shitloads."

"Come on, you love my shits."

Inis na inis akong nagpigil ng kilig. Halos hindi na maipinta ang itsura ko dahil sa kanyang panunudyo at pang-aasar. Nakakairita pero gusto ko naman.

"Fine."

Gumapang ako papunta sa kanya. I snugged myself between his knees, and he was hugging me from the back, sniffing my neck.

"I'm getting ticklish, Seph. Stop that."

Sobrang kinakabahan ako ngayon. I could feel how hard his pet right now.

"I can't help it," he sniffed. "You smell good."

Hinarap ko siya upang pagsabihan, but we suddenly caught each other's stares, making it harder to breathe. My heart was palpitating like crazy.

"S-Stop s-niffing-"

Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko when he caught my lips in a sudden fluid motion. He kissed me deeper as passionate and intense as he could. He was pulling away just to spare me an ample time to gain my breath. And then he'll kiss me again and again. He pinned me against his bed, taking off my clothes one by one. Nagagawa n'ya akong hubaran habang hinahalikan ang aking kabuuan. I can't imagine myself right now. I just want him to be inside me tonight. I don't want to let him go.

Not now. Not ever.

Naramdaman ko ang bumababa niyang kamay patungo sa perlas ko. Mabuti na lang at natampal ko ang napakalikot n'yang kamay.

"What?" kunot noo n'yang tanong.

Ang guwapo talaga magalit neto.

"Ginagawa mo?"

"Pleasuring you," ngisi niya.

"Teka, ano?"

Hindi niya ako pinakinggan. Bumaba ang kanyang mga labi patungo sa hiyas ko. He took off my underwear. Halatang hindi lang ako ang nakasex nito kasi expert na sa pagtatanggal ng undergarments. Medyo nadisappoint ako sa part na 'yon.

"S-Seph, don't-"

"Sshh!"

I bit my lower lip, gripping his hair. This is a very wrong place to make love. Boarding house makes it harder to moan as fuck. His hands were caressing my breast as he went back to my lips.

"I love you so much," he whispered. "Tell me if it hurts."

I can feel how hard his cock on me. Walang pagdadalawang isip akong tumango habang nakatingin sa kanyang magagandang mata. He start thrusting inside me. Parang sasabog ako sa sobrang sakit. But the pain disappeared at napalitan iyon ng masarap na sensasyon.

Tanginaaaa! I think I ripped my cave because of his big D.

"Shit!" malutong niyang mura at tumigil sa pagpasok sa pagkababae ko. "You're freaking bleeding, Ruby."

Hindi ako makasagot dahil sa rhythm of movements na ginagawa niya. I'm still a virgin and he's an expert. I shed a tear. It fucking hurts so much! I can't believe na marami ang nakikipagsex gayung sobrang sakit naman pala.

"I-I'm fine. Oh god..."

"No, you're not," he chided. His brows furrowed, looking at my bleeding V.

"Damn, it hurts."

He smiled and kissed me on my lips.

"Take a rest. I'll clean your mess tomorrow."

Wala sa sarili akong tumango tsaka niya ako kinumutan at niyakap ng makahiga na kaming dalawa.

Shit happens. And I love how he happened to me.

***

Naalimpungatan ako dahil sa ingay na nanggagaling mula sa gilid. Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata at nakita si Ryle na may kinukuha mula sa loob ng kanyang drawer.

"Gising ka na pala," aniya at nagpatuloy sa paghahalungkat.

Pinilit kong bumangon kaso masakit masyado ang ibaba ko. Agad akong nagkamalay nang marealize ang nangyari kagabi. Napabalikwas ako ng bangon at tinignan ang kama. No blood stains and the sheets were clean. Nakabihis na rin ako ng damit. Maybe Seph changed my clothes last night. Mariin kong hinawakan ang aking ibaba dahil sa sobrang sakit.

"Nasaan si Seph?"

"Nasa labas. May kausap pa yata," sagot niya.

Mabilis n'yang isinuksok sa kanyang bag ang iilang damit at jersey shorts.

"Sino?"

"I don't know her, I've never seen her before," sinukbit niya ang kanyang bag at lumabas ng kwarto pagkatapos. "I have to go."

Her?

Pinilit kong tumayo habang iniinda ang sakit ng pempem ko tsaka ako lumabas ng kwarto pero hindi ko nakita si Seph. Saan na naman kaya iyon nagsusuok ng ganito kaaga? I tried calling his phone but he left it on his desk. Lumabas ako ng gate at nakita si Joseph na may kausap na babae. She was wearing an elegant casual attire. Makinis at maputi, and she looks familiar.

Napatingin sa akin yung babae kasabay nun ang pagtaas ng kanyang kilay sa akin kaya napalingon na rin si Seph.

"Precious," he approached me and kissed my cheeks. "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Ruby Mendoza."

M-Mom? Teka ano?!

Siya ang mama ni Seph? Hindi man lang ako na-inform na bibisita siya ngayon dito at wala pa akong ligo. Ano ba yan! Amoy pawis pa ako. Pinasadahan n'ya ako from head to foot. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin dahil sa hiya. Her eyes were judging me disdainfully like I am a piece of trash na pakalat-kalat.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Hija," she said, forcing a smile on her lips.

"N-Nice to meet you too, ma'am," I stretched out my arm for a handshake pero hindi n'ya iyon tinanggap.

Tinitigan niya lang kaya inalis ko na.

"Attitude, pota."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, wala po. Ang ganda po ng attitude n'yo," I sarcastically said.

"I know."

Shit. Nakakairita ang ngiti niya. Pwede bang dumugin ko na lang ang mommy mo, Seph? Baka sakaling matanggap niya ako ng bongga.

"Aah, Mom. Bakit ka nga ulit naparito? Akala ko ba next week mo pa gustong makilala si Ruby?"

"I want to see Ivy, but I guess she's not here," sinuot niya ang kanyang sunglasses. "I'll see the both of you next week. Okay?"

"Mag-inform ka naman kung pupunta ka," iritado niyang sabi sa ina. "I'll see you next week then."

"May business meeting pa ako kasama ng pamilyang Cordova. I need to get going and also..." bumaling siya sa akin. "You look familiar, Hija. Have we met before?"

Hindi ako nagsalita. Hindi niya ba naaalala na ako 'yung tinarayan niya sa café? Bwiset ha. Kung alam ko lang na siya pala ang mommy ni Seph. Tsk.

"Nevermind," she smiled. "I'll see you."

Pinagbuksan siya ng kanilang driver papasok ng kotse. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang makaalis siya. I turned to Seph and saw him grinning.

"Hindi nakakatuwa," hampas ko sa kanyang tiyan. "It's too obvious na ayaw sa akin ng mommy mo."

"She'll learn to love you the way I love you today, tomorrow, and forever."

At dahil marupok ako, kinilig ako syempre. Idedeny ko pa ba e, nakakakilig masyado ang sinabi niya.

"Besides," he took a step forward. "I already owned your hidden pearl. So you're mine forever, Precious."

Namula ako at sinuntok ang kanyang tiyan tsaka ko siya iniwan. Masakit kapag napunit ang puso mo pero mas masakit kapag pinunit ang pagkababae mo.
