#LGS2chapter19 #LGS2Cut #LaGrilla

HINDI na napigilan ni Mosa na mapahagulgol nang maghiwalay ang mga labi nila ni Curtis. Their hearts raced so fast, they were both panting, catching their breaths from that kiss that barely lasted a minute.

Bahagya siyang pumalag muli mula sa pagkakayapos ng mga braso nito sa kaniya. Her hands shook as she thought of slapping him for kissing her, but in the last minute, she forgave him easily. Nanghihinang sumubsob na lang ang kaniyang mukha sa gilid ng leeg nito.

She felt him embrace her tighter.

"Shhh . . ." he rubbed on her back. "Tahan na. Nandito na ako."

"No. Go away." Her voice was muffled as her lips was pressed against his shoulder, close to his collar bone.

"I can ease your pain. . . ." bulong nito sa tainga niya bago ito sinakop ng mainit na hininga ng lalaki.

She felt his hand on her chin as he slowly released her. As Curtis lifted her face to meet his gaze, he took another bold move. He took a slow lunge for her lips.

Their lips briefly brushed when an electrifying realization made her pull away from him.

"How dare you!" she seethed, fresh tears rimming in her glaring eyes. "I forgave you at your first mistake of kissing me! Uulitin mo pa?!"

"Of course, I will!" he blurted, tortured. "I'll do it again because damn! Ang tamis pala ng mga labi mo!"

He cupped her nape and was about to pull her for another kiss, but she pushed him by his chest. Nang mapalayo ang lalaki ay mabilis na umatras si Mosa. Gumuhit man ang pananakit ng ulo dahil sa pagkahilo niya sa biglaang pag-atras, ininda niya ito, makalayo lang sa binata.

"Ano ba ang pinagsasasabi mo?! You're drunk! Get out! Dahil kapag nagkamali ka pang halikan uli ako, hindi na kita mapapatawad!"

Mosa walked past Curtis even if drunkeness made her swung a bit. She marched to the bedside table, swiftly picked up the beer bottle, then slumped back on her bed. Isinandal niya ang kaniyang likod sa headboard nito.

"Out!" mariin niyang utos bago muling uminom ng alak. While drinking, her mind was already riddled with one question. 'Why did he kiss me? Why did he kiss me? Why did he kiss me?'

The question repeated in her head frantically gulp after gulp of her beer.

Meanwhile, Curtis slowly spun to face her. His intense eyes almost burned her alive with the heat that came from his stare. "If my brother can't love you as much as I can, then I guess, I have no choice but to finally take charge, Mosa."

Dahan-dahang nag-angat siya ng tingin dito. Bahagyang nakadikit na lang sa mga labi niya ang bote ng alak habang pinoproseso niya ang mga sinasabi ng lalaki.

As their gazes locked, he boldly continued. "It won't be so hard to do, because I already loved you since we've met."

"I can't believe you," she answered lowly, still confused. "Ano ba ang ipinapahiwatig mo? Are you taking advantage of my pain? What? Do you want to fuck me now? Are you thinking that I am so miserable it will drive me to the point of taking your offer just to feel happy for a moment?"

"I planned to come here since last night," he confessed breathily. "I wanted to comfort you, Mosa. Fucking you has never crossed my mind."

She smirked bitterly, still confused. "Then what are you saying? What with all this taking charge and love and kissing me?"

"But before that, I went to Freya's place first. I just want to check on her first because . . . I'm afraid, her life is at risk. She's been bullied heavily since last night."

Hindi niya napigilan ang matawa nang pagak. "There you go again. Imbes na sagutin mo nang deretso ang tanong ko, nagko-chronological storytelling ka na naman!"

"I want you to understand—"

"And see how loyal you are? I am your best friend, and yet, inuna mo pang kumustahin ang ahas na iyon!"

"Yes, you are my best friend. But she had been my friend, too, Mosa, and I don't easily let go of a friend just because they made a mistake. And let me repeat, her life is more likely at risk at this point compared to yours. But if ever you're in her situation, of course, I'll go to you first."

Tumungga na lang siya ng alak. 'Whatever. Snake.'

"But apparently," he continued, still staring at her, "after visiting Freya, I realized that I might have to completely cut my ties with her. Because of this." May inilabas ang binata mula sa bulsa nito at initsa iyon sa paanan ng kaniyang kama. "Kopya ng sex video ninyo ni Claude."

"Sex video?" kunot ng noo niya. Nakatitig lang si Mosa sa card reader na nasa paanan ng kama. "N-Namin ni Claude?"

"Plano niyang gumanti dahil sa pagkalat mo sa sex video niya. Ipapadala niya iyan sa school admin."

Saglit pang nanatili ang mga mata ni Mosa sa card reader bago kumawala ang walang-laman niyang pagtawa.

"The audacity!" she muttered under her breath before she spat angrily, louder. "The audacity of that bitch!"

"I know it's you, Mosa."

Napaangat siya ng tingin kay Curtis.

"Ikaw ang dahilan kaya ipinalabas sa party kagabi 'yong sex video nina Kuya at Freya."

Muling gumuhit ang sakit sa dibdib ni Mosa. Just a mention of Claude having a sex video with Freya would instantly replay everything that she saw from those videos at the back of her mind.

Curtis seemed to notice the pained look on her face, making him mirror the same tortured expression too.

"For your sake, I won't tell a soul about it," ani Curtis. "But . . . how long can I keep this a secret?"

Napatitig siya sa binata. Binabasa niya kung ano ang iniisip nito, pero dahil siguro sa kalasingan kaya hindi niya mapasok ang mga mata nito at maabot ang kaluluwa nito.

She could not read him at all.

Not anymore.

"Are you trying to imply something, Curtis?" she asked softly.

"No. I'm just asking, kasi ikaw . . . paano ka makasisigurado na walang makakadiskubre sa ginawa mo? Na-guidance kami kagabi, Mosa. I found out just last night that what you just did is a very heavy offense! Lahat ng pinaghirapan mo buong college, magko-collapse kapag nalaman nilang ikaw nagpalabas no'ng video nila!"

"I won't be punished if no one with rat me out," she sneered. "But knowing you now, you're the same snake as your brother and Freya." Then her enragement made her raise her voice at him. "So, just tell me! How can I shut your fucking mouth?!"

Both of them got stunned. Nagulat siguro si Curtis dahil sa pagtataas niya ng boses. Siya naman ay natigilan nang may mapagtanto.

Mabilis na nanumbalik sa isip niya ang mga nangyari kanina. The beer could have slowed down her brain, but it didn't make her dumb. The moment her slow processings came altogether in her mind, Mosa finally connected the dots. . . .

"What you need is me! You need me now! You are hurting and you know that you need me at times like this!"

"Yes, I may be a worthless friend, but maybe, I'll be more worthy of a human if I'll have you. Right now."

"Ikaw na rin ang nagsabi, hindi mo na ako kaibigan. Kaya puwedeng-puwede na . . ." He glanced at her parted lips. ". . . umaksiyon . . ." His gaze trailed up, back into her eyes. ". . . sa paraan na gusto ko."

"Shhh . . .Tahan na. Nandito na ako."

"I can ease your pain. . . ."

"I'll do it again because damn! Ang tamis pala ng mga labi mo!"

"If my brother can't love you as much as I can, then I guess, I have no choice but to finally take charge, Mosa."

"It won't be so hard to do, because I already loved you since we've met."

"For your sake, I won't tell a soul about it. But . . . how long can I keep this a secret?"

". . . paano ka makasisigurado na walang makakadiskubre sa ginawa mo?"

Then, she remembered her own words. . . .

"I won't be punished if no one with rat me out. But knowing you now, you're the same snake as your brother and Freya. So, just tell me! How can I shut your fucking mouth?!"

Napalunok si Mosa. Pagkurap niya mula sa titigan nila ni Curtis ay napalitan ang galit ng nerbiyos sa kaniyang mga mata.

'Is he . . . blackmailing me?'

Her lips quivered as rage and tears returned in her eyes.

'Ahas! Ahas! Ahas kayong lahat! Isa ka rin palang ahas, Curtis! Nagpapanggap ka lang na kaibigan ko!' pagwawala ng kaniyang isip, ng kaniyang damdamin. Pero lahat ng emosyon at iniisip ay pilit na ikinukulong ni Mosa sa kaniyang sarili. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of witnessing how he could break her heart and spirit so easily. She didn't want him to see how affected she was. Ayaw rin niyang bigyan ng alas ang traydor na kaharap niya ngayon.

Ngunit . . . may laban pa ba siya?

She could not accept that her carefully crafted plan of exposing her cheater boyfriend and traitor friend would have repercussions like this! She knew the risk, but never did she ever consider that her so-called best friend would play a big part to her downfall!

"Mosa . . ." Curtis uncomfortably broke the silence. "You've been staring at me."

Mosa recollected herself. She shifted her head to give him a dangerous underlook. "Yes, I am."

She saw the slow bobbing of his Adam's apple.

"Bakit hindi mo sinagot ang tanong ko?" maingat niyang saad dito habang iniisip ang sunod niyang mga hakbang.

Unti-unti na rin siyang humihiga sa kama. She kept her chest and head elevate though, pressed against the bed's headboard.

Curtis confusedly blinked. Nagtaka siya dahil nakailang kurap pa ito na tila na nahihirapan makakita o nanlalabo ang mga mata. Bahagya pa itong napaatras mula sa kinatatayuan.

"How can I shut your mouth?"

He struggled with his eyes as he answered. "Haven't I told you already. I won't tell a soul about it. You don't have to do anything—"

Pinigilan niya ang matawa, pero nakawala ang ilan sa mga ito. Mosa threw her head back and bitterly laughed a bit before she returned her eyes on him.

"Maglolokohan pa ba tayo, Curtis? I have already exposed you and your brother and Freya—how much of a snake and liar you all are! I know that there's a catch to this! Stop playing mind games with me already!" she cackled mockingly.

Tila napikon na ito sa kaniya. Pinanlisikan na siya nito ng mga mata. "Fuck it! What do you want me to say!?"
"Mabilis akong maka-gets," she scoffed as she slowly parted her legs. "You want this, don't you?" she asked, showing him how bare she was between the thighs as she pulled up the skirt of her nighties. After all, she always slept without panties. "Ito naman talaga ang ipinunta mo rito, hindi ba?"

Biglang nawala ang pagkurap ng mga mata ni Curtis. Kung kanina ay tila nahihirapan itong dumilat, sa pagkakataong ito naman ay napamulagat ito bago tila luminaw ang paningin. He took another swinging step back as blood rushed up to his neck and head. How he flushed was enough to confirm Mosa's suspicions.

And once again, her heart broke.

Naalala niya ang babala sa kaniya noon ni Bridgette. . . .

"And that Curtis? He's not very safe, girl. Iyong mga tinginan niyang iyon sa 'yo habang kinukuhanan ka ng litrato? Girl, may tinatagong gigil 'yon sa 'yo!"

"I swear! That's how intense it is! He doesn't have the heart-shaped puppy eyes, like those cutie-patootie, clueless basketball boys who are after me! Girl, saludo ako sa pagpipigil niya noong nakasama mo siya sa stockroom, but don't test his control! Mag-ingat ka!"

Everything was already starting to make sense at the back of her mind, as her staring match continued with Curtis.

"My pussy got your tongue, Curtis?" she challenged as she cocked her head to the side, feigning confidence.

She saw him swallow, then slowly narrow his eyes at her.

"My pussy definitely got your tongue. So, I bet, this is enough to shut your mouth about the scandal I caused last night. Right?"

Nangalit ang panga ng binata. "Kahit hindi mo ibigay sa akin 'yan, hindi kita ipagkakanulo sa kahit kanino. Huwag mong sinusubok ang damdamin ko para sa 'yo!"

"Oh, so the pussy is not good enough?" kunwari ay dismayado niyang saad sabay pa-cute na simangot. "What's a better deal for you? Two rounds? Three rounds?"

Ikinuyom nito ang mga kamao. "Tumahimik ka na lang!"

He was about to head to the door when she spoke with a sigh. "I don't believe you'll shut your mouth, dahil hindi ako naniniwala sa 'damdamin' na pinagsasasabi mo. Ni hindi mo masabi nang deretso kung mahal mo ako o ano. Ni hindi mo nga ako ipinagtanggol mula sa panloloko sa akin ng kapatid mo."

Galit na sinugod siya nito. But her continuation made him stop at the foot of her bed.

"Your words can't give me any assurance anymore, Curtis."

"And me fucking you will?" he growled lowly as he put one foot on top of her bed.

"Of course—"

He immediately cut her off. "Of course not! Dahil mas malaki ang posibilidad na malaman ng sinumang mag-iimbestiga sa school na galing sa akin ang video na ginamit mo sa party para i-expose sila Kuya! Ayokong masangkot sa gulo na ginawa mo dahil hindi mo pinag-isipan nang mabuti! Kaya huwag kang mag-aalala! Hindi mo kailangang ialay ang katawan mo kapalit ng katahimikan ko! Dahil hindi ganoon kababaw ang pagmamahal ko para sa 'yo!"

"Blahblahblah! Am I really supposed to trust you, Curtis?" To get this over with, marahan nang binuhusan ni Mosa ng alak ang sariling katawan. Hinayaan niyang umagos ang malamig-lamig na likido mula sa kaniyang tiyan pababa sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga hita. "Ang dami mo pang satsat. Tapusin mo na lang ang paghihirap nating dalawa. Take it. Take me. Call this a collateral, hush pussy, or whatever. "

"Just keep your legs closed and watch me keep my mouth shut for years," anito sa mababang tono, tila pagod nang makipag-usap sa kaniya.

"But if you'll fuck me, I'll have something to blackmail you in return."

Napailing ito. Mosa could not understand why she saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Dahil ba ito sa inamin niyang gagawin niya kung sakaling ipagkanulo siya ng lalaki?

"So that's it? You just want to hurt me?" lingon nito sa kaniya. "All of this . . . Para lang may maisumbat ka sa akin?" He let out a heavy sigh and tugged his curly hair once before slapping his knee in frustration.

Malamig na tinitigan lang ni Mosa ang lalaki. "Honestly? Ayokong maging utang ko pa sa iyo ang pananahimik mo. Kaya, sige na. You deserve to be rewarded for your smartass brain after all. Get my payment in exchange for your silence."

Matiim siyang tinitigan ni Curtis hanggang sa unti-unting nagdilim ang anyo nito.

Mosa was so nonchalant earlier, decided, and confident. That was why she was surprised when tension began kicking her chest as Curtis started tugging his shirt, violently undoing their buttons. As he unbuttoned his shirt torturously slow, his intense gaze remained locked on her eyes.

Hindi pa rin tumitigil ang mabagal na pagbuhos ng alak sa kaniyang katawan nang matanggal ang mga butones sa shirt ng binata. He did not completely took off his shirt, he just left it parted in the middle as he kicked off his shoes while crawling from the foot of her bed closer to her.

And then, he lowered his head between her legs and slithered toward the middle of her thighs.

Without a second thought, the tip of his tongue stroked upward melting the iciness of the beer that bathed her slit as he licked it off. Bahagyang nanlambot ang kaniyang kamay at napatigil sa marahang pagbuhos ng malamig na likod sa kaniyang tiyan. Pinanood niya ang pag-agos ng natitirang mga patak nito pababa sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga hita.

She stared at Curtis in disbelief. Ewan niya kung dala ba ng kalasingan kaya ganito ang paningin niya. How could she find the view of him licking her down there so . . . aesthetically pleasing?

She felt her cheeks burn.

'I'm not . . . I'm not supposed to feel this way!' saway niya sa sarili. 'Stay composed, Mosa. Stay composed . . .'

His hot breath touched her opening and slowly, he sucked off every liquor that would pass by her slit and the sides of her privates. His head turned slowly to his left, to his right, carefully drying her off with his soft lips and massaging tongue.

She swallowed hard.

At nanghihinang napatingala siya nang maramdaman ang pagbuka ng mga labi ni Curtis.

'F-Fuck . . . Why . . . Why am I enjoying this?' manginig-nginig niyang isip.

Not a single drop escaped from his patience while not a single sensation escaped from her. Mga labi at bibig pa lang nito ang trumatrabaho sa kaniya, pero dama niya ang matinding pagnanais ng mga ito na magpapansin. Hindi pumalya ang mga ito sa pagpapasikat sa kung ano ang kayang gawin ng mga ito. Sa bawat paghigop ng binata, pakiramdam niya ay kasamang nahihigop na rin nito ang kaniyang kaluluwa at katinuan. Naghahalo ang kiliti at pag-iinit sa kaniyang bukana at naiipon ang kombinasyon nito sa kaniyang puson.

She felt like a ticking bomb, pulsing at the pleasure she was trying to hold in to keep her composure. One wrong wire cut and she would blow for sure!

Because she shouldn't . . . she shouldn't give Curtis the satisfaction of knowing that he was doing so good! That he was mouthfucking her so damn good and the longer it took, the more she was growing restless! Napapakislot na ang kaniyang katawan! Bumababaw na ang kaniyang paghinga! Gumagapang na ang panginginig ng kaniyang katawan dahil sa sobrang sarap!

He wasn't burning her, he was electrifying her! Everything that died during the day she found out she was cheated on, was brought back to life by the lightning that he brought to her senses!

And in her moment of her weakness, when she was about to close her legs out of the sheer jolt of pleasure that felt too much to take, his shoulders were there to block them. He even propped his hands against her thighs and pushed them down the bed to keep them parted.

Magaan na napapikit si Mosa. Napahigpit ang kapit niya sa bote ng alak na ipinangtukod na lang niya sa gilid niya sa kama.

Kumawala ang nanlalambot niyang pag-ungol.

"Ooohh, Curtis!" ungol pa niya dahil sa pinaghalong kiliti at sarap ng pagdila nito sa hiwa niya. "Ahh!" she clutched on the sheets of her bed with her free hand when his tongue slowly entered her slit and began flicking in it.

It was slow at first. Pero nang tuluyan nang nagkaroon ng kumpiyansa ang binata at pabilis na nang pabilis ang pagpitik ng dila nito. He wasn't just flicking her slit, he was already toying with her clitoris! Every flick of his tongue was a punch to the punching bag! And Mosa feared that he was close to knocking her out!

"Curtis! Oh, Curtis!" Halos mapaos na siya kauungol sa pangalan nito habang pahigpit ng pahigpit ang pagkakahawak ng lalaki sa mga binti niyang naninipa na dahil sa sarap ng ginagawa nito!

She felt her folds surrender to the teasing of his tongue. She opened up to him and he accepted the invitation.

When the pad of his tongue pressed and ran across her flesh, her eyes rolled back as she moaned louder.
