Chapter 13

Celebes Enna Escuadro

"That bastard!" asik ko nang makita ko siyang kasama ang nobya niya papasok sa venue. Pinagkaguluhan agad sila ng media habang pinapaulanan ito ng mga kislap ng kamera. Alessandro was wearing a blue Armani suit with a striped button-down shirt inside. His hair was sleek and neat on top of his head. Kakikitaan ang pagkabagot sa mukha nito habang tinatanong ng mga reporters. Brielle answered the questions for him. If it werenn't for her blue spaghetti strapped maxi dress that reached her ankles as well as her t-strapped black heels, I would've thought she was Alessandro's spokesperson.

Anyways, what made me so pissed is the fact that he was wearing Zion's tie as if he was trying to remind me how I enjoyed his "treatment" last night. At ang walanghiya, nang magising, ninakaw yung necktie ni Zion mula sa akin matapos niyang gupitin ang parteng may Z kaya slanted ang dulo nito. Tsk. Iba talaga ang trip niya.

He's such an asshole. Is he really doing this on purpose?! Kapag mahuli talaga kami ng girlfriend niya, kasalanan niya talagang baliw siya. Well, whatever. I shouldn't stress about it so much.

Bahala na siya sa buhay niya. I'll just fucking enjoy this party which I've prepared for that asshole. Maybe, I can find some guys I can have fun with tonight too.

I crossed my legs so my thighs became more exposed to the people near me. There were several men taking a glance at my exposed skin as if they were hungry hyenas. I couldn't blame them though.

I was wearing a stretchable turtleneck shirt that followed the shape of my full breasts, a red unbuttoned boyfriend blazers and a tulip-styled matching skirt that flaunted my legs. The cut in front of the skirt was so high that my black thong would be exposed any time if I move in my seat so much. Dumagdag pa sa suot ko ang 4-inch black wedge na mas nagdepina ng tangkad ko at balingkinitang pigura.

This figure fucked up multiple dicks already...

I gulped down the red wine I'm drinking and kept looking at Alessandro's impassive face. I wish that fucker would just drop dead. Hindi ako makapokus sa ibang tao dahil sa kakisigan niya.

"Enna?" Napatingala ako sa taong tumawag sa akin. Muntik na akong mapasigaw sa gulat nang mapagtantong si Zion Samañego ang kaharap ko. He's still handsome and even hotter than when we used to fuck. Ah shit. Why did he have to come here?! Akala ko ba ay may business trip ito ngayon?! Napatayo na lang ako mula sa aking upuan. I immediately forced a smile which made Zion smile wider. Tsk. "It really is you. You're still as beautiful as ever, Enna!"

Oh shit. Just kill me now.

"You know her, Z?" tanong ng isang elegante at magandang babae na nakaangkla ang braso sa lalaki. Kakikitaan ang taray sa nakasimangot nitong mukha. Ah, shit. Typical wife. Selosa. Bwisit ka Zion! Bakit ka ba lalapit-lapit dito?!

"Yep, she's a good friend. She helped me a lot of times years ago," masayang sabi ng mokong sa asawa. If sex means help, then he isn't lying. "My beautiful wife, meet Celebes Enna Escuadro." Oh, God. I forgot that Zion is a friendly motherfucker. Sa sobrang pagka-friendly, heto at kaswal lamang na pinakilala ako sa kanyang selosang asawa. Gusto ba niyang malaman nitong ako ang kasa-kasama ni Zion dati sa kama?! "And this is my wife, Rizza Agos Samañego. I hope you two get along! Dapat magaganda ang magkakaibigan!"

Mas lalo namang sumama ang timpla ng mukha ng asawa niya kaya halos mapangiwi na ako nang tuluyan. Hindi ba marunong makiramdam 'tong si Zion?! Hindi ba niya nakikitang nagseselos na 'tong babaeng 'to?! Gagong 'to. Is he still so fucking dense?!

"Nice to meet you, Miss Escuadro," the woman said through gritted teeth. She extended her hand so I was forced to take it.

"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Samañego." Tumaas ang kilay nito at saka bahagya lamang na hinawakan ang kamay ko bago niya binitawan. Hindi napalis ang ngiti ko dahil wala naman talaga akong pakialam kung magkakasundo ba kami.

I'm already done with his husband.

Bago pa ito may masabi ay tinawag na ito ng iilan sa kanyang mga "amigas". Napipilitan itong umalis mag-isa dahil gusto pa raw makipag-usap ni Zion sa akin.

"How are you these days, Enna?" He gave me that sly smirk that he used to give to me when he's horny.

"Living, apparently," sarkastiko kong sabi rito at saka humalukipkip. Nakita ko pang dumako sa dibdib ko ang mga mata nito kaya sumimangot ako. Even if I'm wearing a turtleneck, I felt like I was naked under his stare. "You're still a pervert, I see."

"Ang sarap mo kasing bastusin," anito at saka mahinang tumawa. "Lalong-lalo na sa kama." Pagkatapos ay kumindat pa ang walanghiya.

"Gago."

"Still got that tongue, I see." I rolled my eyes at him. He took a step forward and leaned closer to whisper to my ear. "Can I have a taste again?" He inhaled and groaned. "I miss your blowjobs, Enna."

"Celebes..." I almost gaped when I heard Alessandro's voice from beside me. Zion immediately backed away and curiously looked at him. I turned to look at the guy and found that he was alone this time. I saw Brielle talking to some women who seemed like her friends based on their annoying laughter. "Care to introduce him to your boss?"

Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Alessandro na ngayon ay matiim na nakatitig kay Zion.

This shithead! Gusto ba talaga nitong ipangalandakan na boss ko siya?!

Napipilitan kong ipinakilala si Alessandro kay Zion.

"Oh, Mr. Samañego, meet the CEO of AX Industries, Mr. Alessandro Ramirez."

"Oh really?" Zion muttered under his breath and eyed the tie, that damned tie that I stole from him and the same damned tie that Alessandro used to tie me up last night.. My eyes shook in fear as he squinted his eyes and then he slowly chuckled. Fuck. The only field where Zion isn't dumb is when it comes to sex and anything related to sex. "Is Ms. Escuadro your secretary, Mr. Ramirez?" Tumitig lamang si Alessandro sa kanya at muntik ko na talaga silang masapak dalawa dahil pareho silang gago. "Just your secretary?"

"What else could she be?"

"I dunno," preskong sabi ni Zion at saka ngumisi. "Good luck with her being your secretary then."

I saw how Alessandro clenched his jaw.

"And why is that?"

"You're wearing my tie. Do I have to say anything else?" Zion said and reached for the the damned tie but I slapped his hand away. He pouted. "Ouch, Enna. Don't be so harsh on me."

Psh.

"I'm happy for you now Zion so don't piss me off." I smirked at him. "Baka anak mo pa mismo ang unang makaalam sa katarantaduhan mo dati?"

Zion looked taken aback. I could clearly see drops of sweat forming on his forehead but he still chuckled.

"The same old bitchy Enna, I see," he said with a forced smile. "It's nice seeing you again. Don't worry. We're going to Japan for good. I don't want to destroy my family."

Tinitigan ko ang mapayapa nitong mukha.

"Good."

Pagkatapos ay pumunta na itonsa asawa nang namumutla.

"How many men do you have?" anang napakagwapo kong boss na hanggang ngayon ay masamang nakatingin kay Zion.

"I didn't have men," I said with a smile. "I had dicks."

Alessandro stared at me as if he'd gone dumb. Tinaasan ko na lang siya ng kilay at tinalikuran. Mas mabuti pang makasama niya ang nobya niya ngayon.

The rest of the evening was uneventful. The only other thing bothersome is Alessandro's father giving us a thumbs up.

-

Men flocked around me all evening, especially when Alessandro wasn't there. I was relieved when Brielle found me and was too surprised to realize how "coincidental" this situation is, that I'm her fiancee's secretary. Hindi na rin bago sa akin ang mapanghusgang tingin ng karamihan dahil sa aking suot. Ano bang magagawa ko? Kahit disente itong suot ko, marami talagang madudumi ang isip.

Isa na roon ang mga kaibigan ni Brielle. Hindi ko man lang alam na nakapasok ang mga 'to kahit hindi imbitado. I didn't even catch their names because they looked insignificant as well as the cheap slutty dresses they're wearing. I wasn't also surprised that they're eyeing Alessandro with their nasty gaze as if they wanted to pounce on him. I can't blame them though. The guy is oozing with sex appeal. Lahat magkakadanrapa para maamoy lamang ang mamahalin nitong pabango. Idagdag pa 'yang katawan niyang pinaglalawayan ng karamihan.

Pansin kong pinipilit ng mga itong painumin si Brielle at heto namang babaeng 'to, nagpauto naman. Klaro namang may plano sila kay Alessandro. Iilang lagok lang ng red wine ay nakatulog na si Brielle at may iisang babae roon na nagpresentang maghatid dahil hindi makakaalis si Alessandro sa party. His father won't allow him since many businessmen wanted to talk to the guy.

Tahimik ko lang na ino-obserbahan ang mga babae. Dalawa na lang sila ngayon. May nakita akong kinuha ito sa dalang pouch at saka tumalikod kasama ang isang baso ng wine.

Pwede itong pampatulog o pampalibog. Anyways, they're cheaper than cheap. To try and get Alessandro with that method...

I wonder though if the thing they put in that drink is really effective. I strode towards them and snatched the glass before I downed it in seconds.

Napatigalgal ang dalawang babae sa akin na tila ba hindi makapaniwala.

"Sorry, Miss. Nauhaw kasi talaga ako," pag-iinarte ko habang pahingal-hingal pa. "Kanina pa kasi ako hinahabol nung manyak na businessman kanina."

"A-Ah!" the two said in unison. Namutla silang dalawa habang nakatitig sa akin.

"Huh? Why do you look so shocked? I'll get another drink for you."

"I-It's okay!" Pagkatapos ay nakita kong nanginig ang mga kamay nila na pilit nilang kinukubli sa likod. "I-It's fine. May n-nagbigay lang din sa amin ng w-wine na 'yan."

Really... Napakaklaro nitong magsinungaling. Bago pa ako may masabi ay mabilis na silang naglakad palayo matapos magpaalam. Sa tingin ko nga'y uuwi na ang mga ito dahil papunta na sila sa bandang exit.

Huh. I thought they've got guts but just a little tap and they went scampering away. Cowards...

Pero ano nga kaya ang nilagay nila sa inumin?

Bago pa ako makabalik sa pwesto ko, may biglaang sumigaw sa aking gilid.

"Bulaga!" sigaw ng isang asungot na ikinasigaw ko rin.

"Tangina pangit!"

"Fuck," mura ni Thane nang sabihin ko iyon. Isang ngisi ang ginawad ko sa kanya habang siya naman ay mas lalong napabusangot. May mangilan-ngilan kasing nagulat sa sigawan namin. I glanced at Alessandro's direction and was relieved that he was far away. Baka sermunan pa ako nito. Binalik ko ang paningin ko sa kaibigan nitong parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa. "Sa gwapo kong 'to, ikaw lang ang talagang bulag sa katotohanan."

"Apparently, I'm the only one living in reality," sarkastiko kong sabi sa kanya. He sneered at me evilly as if he's gonna give me the biggest truth he can think of.

"Yeah, because Princes like me live in every woman's fantasies." Lumaki pa ang butas ng ilong nito pagkasabi niyon at nag-chest out pa. I shook my head while silently questioning his women's taste. He's handsome alright but his expressions look like shit. I stared at him for a long time until he babbled again. "Do I look like a Prince to you now?"

"Too bad you look like a toad to me."

Sambakol na naman agad ang mukha nito kaya bahagya akong natawa. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nakakagaan talaga ng loob na pagtripan ang isang 'to.

"Ang saya mo eh ano?"

"No, I just find your face hilarious."

Pagkatapos ay nakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo at saka napagtantong gumagana na yung nilagay ng mga gagang yun sa wine. Nasapo ko ang noo ko at tumingin kay Thane.

Tila umikot ang paningin ko habang pilit siyang tinitingnan.

"T-Take me away, please. Huwag mong ipaalam kay Alessandro," pakiusap ko sa kanya. Masisira ang party kung wala siya rito mismo at mas lalo namang hindi ako pwedeng mahimatay na lang dito. Muntik na akong mabuwal kung hindi lang ako nahawakan ni Thane sa bewang. Gulong-gulo ang kanyang mukha.

"W-Wait what?!"

"Hurry." I grabbed Thane's hand and pulled him towards the nearest passageway. This one leads to the kitchen so I was slowly getting relieved as I tried to fight sleep from taking over my system. Unti-unti na kasing umiitim ang paningin ko.

"W-Where are we going?!"

"T-Take me home with you."Napapikit ako nang isang mapait na memorya ang biglaang pumasok sa aking isipan. "D-Don't call anyone. Please..."

"What the fuck?! Are you serious-wait fuck! Hey!" Pagkatapos ay unti-unti na akong dinalaw ng kadiliman. "W-Wake up!"

"Please," I whispered again as I succumbed to sleep.

-

"Thank you." Nakayuko ako sa harapan ni Thane habang nakaupo sa kama. Pagkagising ko ay nabungaran ko kaagad siya na nakaupo sa couch na nasa gilid. I bet he also slept there.

"No problem." Kita ko ang kaseryosohan sa kanyang mukha. "I saw your porn video. It all made sense." Ah. I may have passed out then woke up mindless again. I'm sure Thane saw it and it must have been such a bother. Pero saan niya naman nakuha ang link ng video? "I just wish you won't mess with Sandro anymore."

Mess with Alessandro? He's the one messing up my head.

"Between Alessandro and I, it's just sex," I murmured and looked at him straight in the eyes. "We just fuck. You do it too with your women."

Ginulo niya ang kanyang buhok at saka sumandal sa couch na para bang pagod na pagod.

"Alessandro used to be a fucked up shithead like me too but ever since he fell in love, some parts of him changed. Naging masaya na siya kay Brielle." Of course. "Isang taon na lang at magiging mag-asawa na sila. They'll build a family together. He can't be with you when he has a great life like that."

I snickered.

"Geez. Why are you being all serious right now? It's not like I love that guy. I just like his dick." Nagkibit-balikat ako. "I liked the sex and he's very good at quickies. Madali siyang nalalabasan kapag pinipiga ko siya. At ang tamod...sobrang lapot..."

Napa-sign of the cross si Thane na animo'y isang santo kaya napakurap ako nang ilang beses sa pagkabigla.

"May mas demonyo pa palang bibig kaysa sa akin," nahintatakutan nitong sabi kaya binato ko siya ng unan.

Walanghiyang 'to.

"Gago ka. Paliliguan kita ng agua bendita."

Napabungisngis naman si Thane sa tuwa.

"Gusto mo akong paliguan? Sabi na nga bang may pagnanasa ka sa akin!" Ang sarap nitong gawing pangtapat sa bagyo sa sobrang hangin nito. "But now, let's go back to your affair with Alessandro."

"What about it?"

"If he falls in love, he can't handle it."

I chuckled at the impossibility of his thoughts. How could he think of something like that? Love... Fuck love... Wala naman akong laban diyan kahit kailan.

"He won't fall in love with me, I assure you that."

Tinitigan niya ako nang matagal bago napabuntong-hininga.

"Bahala na kayo. Basta ay nasabihan na kita."

"Thank you," I told him.

"He's been calling you nonstop so I texted him using your phone that you're with me. Hindi na ako nakatanggap ng tawag matapos nun." Ginulo niya ang kanyang buhok. "Paniguradong galit na galit yun."

"You're willing to take the bullet for me?"

"Nandiyan na. Ano pa bang magagawa ko?" nakangusong sabi nito at tinuro ang phone ko. "And why don't you have a password for your lockscreen? Like seriously?"

"Just a habit," I answered him.

"Anyways, you have to call Sandro. Baka mabaliw na yun kakaisip."

Hmm... Well, yeah. He's my boss. So, I guess it's okay. I can also ask him about the party. Hindi naman siguro nagkaproblema, ano?

So, I tapped Alessandro's number and called him. Iilang ring palang ay nasagot na ito kaagad.

"Ahh ahhh ohh babe~ Faster Sandro~"

Ah. Sabi ko nga wala namang problema. Sa lakas ba naman ng ungol ni Brielle sa kabilang linya... Why am I listening to women moaning over the phone these days? Tsk.

"Hang up. I'm busy," malamig na ani Alessandro mula sa kabilang linya.

Fuck him.

Kaagad kong pinatay ang tawag at saka ini-under sa silent mode. Pabalibag ko itong tinapon kay Thane dahil sa irita.

He caught it though so I became even more pissed. I wanna hurt someone so bad because I'm so fucking mad at what I heard. But why the fuck am I mad?! Brielle and Alessandro are lovers so it's only natural for them to be having sex!

Why the hell am I feeling this way?!

"What did he say?" tanong ni Thane at nagtatakang tumitig sa akin. "You look fucking pissed."

I inhaled and exhaled deeply while remembering Alessandro's indifference.

"He's busy." He raised a brow. "He told me to hang up."

He looked taken aback but the fucker still laughed.

"Oh... I guess he really doesn't care about you. Now, I have nothing to worry about."

"Fuck you!"

"Sure." Nagulantang ako sa sinabi nito.

"What?!"

"Let's fuck."

Sinimangutan ko ito.

"No way! Ang pangit mo!" He shook his head and grinned. "Are you doing this because you pity me?"

"Alessandro is fucking Brielle right now, right?" Dumilim ang mukha ko nang maalala ang nasasarapang ungol ng pesteng babaeng yun. "Then we can fuck too. I think that's what Alessandro thinks right now."

"You're really willing to take the bullet, huh?" I asked in disbelief.

"It'll be easier for him to cast you aside if you're just a bitch who also slept with his friend."

Nagkasalubong ang kilay ko at pilit inaalisa ang sitwasyon. May punto nga naman siya sa kanyang suhestiyon. And I badly want another dick right now to stop myself from thinking about Alessandro.

And who cares if Thane is a friend of his? Walang namamagitan sa amin ni Alessandro. Kaya bakit parang kung mainis ako na kinakalantari niya ang girlfriend niya ay para bang ako ang may karapatan?

Seriously, I have to stop thinking about a single guy. It's so not me. I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love again. And especially to a man no different than those who passed by me before.

I licked my lips and stared at Thane's handsome face. Lust filled his eyes just like ny other guy who wanted to get in between my legs. Heat pooled in my core as I saw the large bulge on his pants.

"I thought you don't fuck around with women who your friends already tasted?"

He gave me a sly smile.

"I can always make an exception," nang-aakit nitong sabi at tinitigan nang maigi ang aking dibdib. "Especially if it's a woman as hot as you."

This crazy backstabbing fucker. I wonder if I'm the first woman he fucked who's been bedded by one of his friends?

Oh well. Who cares? Let the world hate me.

I kicked the blanket away and went down the bed. I scooted towards him and kneeled in between his thick powerful legs. Mabilis kong binaba ang kanyang zipper at bumungad sa akin ang tayong-tayo niyang kargada. Naglaway agad ako sa laki at taba nitong kayang-kaya akong pasigawin sa sarap.

Thane gazed down at me and smirked.

"Ano? Pangit pa rin ba ako?" Bahagya akong natawa sa tanong nito at saka dahan-dahang humawak sa kanyang nag-iigting na burat. Mainit ito sa aking mga palad at napakasarap nitong itaas-baba, lalo na at nakikita ko ang pagnanasa sa mukha ni Thane kapag pinipiga ko iyon nang mariin. "F-Fuck, baby..." anas nito. He's fucking good-looking when he looked so turned on. Binuka ko ang bibig ko at dahan-dahang dinilaan ang ulo ng kanyang kahabaan. He groaned. Pagkatapos ay siinimulan ko itong isubo. "Ugh... Fuckkk! Your mouth's so fucking hot! Arghh..."

This is what I need right now. A distraction.

Pero bago ko pa tuluyang masubo ang kargada ni Thane, may humila na sa akin palayo.

The next thing I know, I was staring at Thane while he was being dragged by an unknown woman. The fucker flashed me a smile and mouthed, 'You're both in trouble.'

I stared at him slack-jawed and only blinked when I felt someone rubbing my lips with wet wipes.

Alessandro's dark gaze was on my lips, his lips set to a thin line.

"A-Alessandro? W-What the hell re you doing here?!"

Dapat ay kasama nito ang nobya! Papaanong nandito ito sa harapan ko ngayon?!

"I came to fetch what's mine." Halo-halong emosyon ang nasa kanyang mga mata at naramdaman ko na lang ang magaspang niyang palad sa pagitan ng aking mga hita. His fingers stroked so I bit my lips to suppress my moan. Nag-igting ang kanyang panga at nanlilisik ang mga matang tumitig sa akin. Humigpit din ang kapit niya sa aking mga braso. "How dare you get wet for another guy, Celebes. Akin ka lang," singhal nito habang namumula na sa galit. "You're mine! All mine!"

Mas bumulwak naman ang kasaganahan mula sa aking loob dahil nagustuhan ko ang pagseselos nito.

He looked so adorable while fuming in anger.

Oh shit.

I'm fucked. We're both fucked.
