M.W.R.A.Y-1

Kyle’s Pov

Maaga akong nagising dahil isang buwan na rin ang nakalipas simula nung makapagtapos ako ng pag-aaral. I’m a fresh graduate from Ateneo De Manila sa course na BSBA with Latin Honors. Kailangan ko ng maghanap ng trabaho dahil nahihirapan na rin ang pamilya ko sa pangtustos sa pang-araw-araw.

Malaking tulong ang pagtatrabaho ko sa isang coffee shop malapit sa eskwelahan para na rin sa pambayad ng tuition ko before. Scholar naman ako pero mas maigi na rin ang magtrabaho habang nag-aaral para makatulong sa parents ko na di naman ganun kalaki ang sweldo.

My mom is a housewife, while my dad is a secretary for a well-known company here in Manila. Ayoko naman mag-apply sa company na nandoon si dad at baka isipin nilang may backer ako.

At ito, I’m still refreshing my email and no one responded to my application from different companies that I applied for. At dahil walang nagre-reply, mas maganda sigurong ako na ang pumunta sa mga kumpanyang gusto ko.

“Mr. Chavez and Ms. Buenaventura, kindly follow me. And for the rest that I didn’t call, you may all leave. Thank you for applying to our company!”
ani ng HR sa isang company na in-applyan ko.

Pangatlo na ‘tong kompanya na pinuntahan ko pero di pa rin ako nakakapasa. Pasado naman ako lagi sa initial at written interview pero ewan ko ba kung bakit ako laging ligwak sa final interview. Di sa pagmamayabang pero pakiramdam ko’y mas may sense ang mga sagot ko sa interview kumpara sa ibang nakapasa. Pero iniisip kong baka di talaga ako para dito sa kompanya na ito, dahil may nakalaang mas maganda para sa akin.

“Hello! Kyle, right? By the way, I’m Carlos. May I ask which company do you want to apply after this?”
nagulat ako nung biglang magsalita ang katabi ko pagkatapos kong matulala sa pag-iisip.

“Actually, I’m going to Rossett’s Holdings Corporation after my lunch, why?
nagtatakang sagot ko sa lalaking kaharap ko na ngayon.

He’s wearing a blue long sleeves, partnered with black pants, and Saint Laurent black shoes. Medyo singkit at maputi ang kutis nya. He looks like a bigtime based on his style and aura. Di mo aakalain na mag-aapply ito kung walang dalang resume.

“Kanina pa kasi tayo nagkakasabay at lagi tayong bumabagsak sa final interview kaya… I noticed you.”
sabi ni Carlos at talagang diniinan niya pa yung pagkakasabi ng “BUMABAGSAK” at parang sinampal ako ng katotohanan. I never thought that he could speak Filipino, because he looks like he’s from the U.S.

“Ah, ganon ba? Actually, di kita napansin. Sa totoo lang balak ko na ngang ipagpa-bukas ‘to eh, since it’s 1 pm na at tirik na rin ang araw sa labas.”
I answered, feeling shy.

“I agree with you. I know it’s getting late since kanina pa tayo palipat-lipat ng companies. Do you want to have lunch with me before going to Rossett’s Corporation?”
Carlos offered while caressing his nape. He looks so shy, and you might think that he’s asking me to go on a date with him.

“Sure ka ba? I mean, kasi nakakahiya naman. Di naman tayo magkakilala masyado tsaka mainit sa labas. May pantry naman yata sila dito sa ground floor, doon nalang siguro ako kakain.”
I answered trying to avoid his dark brown eyes. I noticed that he’s trying to look into my eyes and I keep on avoiding his gaze.

“Do you have a stiff neck? What’s wrong? Am I making you uncomfortable?”
nag-alala niyang tanong habang hawak ang balikat ko. He’s much taller that me. I’m only 5’4 ft. and I guess he’s around 6ft.

Can you imagine our height difference?

Sa aming magkakaibigan (ako, si Ezra, Levi at Zein) ay ako ang pinakamaliit. Levi and Zein are both 5’5 ft., while Ezra is 5’6 ft. We’re all gay, but we do not wear female clothing. We’re fine in male attire, so people frequently mistook us as straight guys.

“No! I’m sorry, I just think that I’m troubling you enough. Kanina pa nag-alisan yung mga kasama nating di nakapasa at tayo nalang yung nandito sa Recruitment Room,”
I said while looking at the HR Representative, who’s now throwing death glares at us.

“Yeah, they all left us. Please have a lunch with me. Nasa parking yung car ko pero malapit lang dito. I already reserved our seat to one of my favorite restaurants, but you can decline if you don’t want.”
He asked me again and he’s now smiling brightly this time. His perfect white teeth and two sets of dimples made me agree to him.

Bakit pa ba ako tatanggi eh nakapag-reserve na pala siya ng upuan. Teka, so plano niya ba talaga akong yayain na kumain or baka meron siyang date tapos di siya sinipot?

My lips parted in shock when we reached the parking lot. I know that he’s only an applicant, so I’m quite confused about how he parked his car in the executive spot.

 

He stopped beside a Lexus silver car and I instantly smiled when he opened the door of the shotgun seat for me. In fairness, he’s a gentleman. 
He makes sure that I already fastened my seatbelt before he drive his car.

We stopped in front of a Fine Dining Thai Restaurant. Parang ayoko ng bunaba ng kotse niya nung makita ang kagandahan ng restaurant kung saan kami maglu-lunch. Alam kong wala akong dalang malaking pera na pambayad, kaya umisip ako ng paraan para makaalis.

Dali-dali kung tinawagan ang kaibigan kong si Ezra. Nakababa na si Carlos ng kotse at nakikipag-usap sa manager ng restaurant.

“Hello Ezra! Oo pupunta na ako dyan. San ka na ba? Ah, tawag ako ni Mommy? Sige pupunta na ako dyan.”
Mabilis kong sabi sa telepono nung bumaba ako ng kotse ni Carlos. Sinadya kong iparinig sa kanya ang sinabi ko bago pa kami tuluyang makapasok ng restaurant.

”
Ghorl, ano bang pinagsasabi mo? Anong pupunta dito? Tsaka di ko kasama si Tita Cynthia.”

N
agtatakang tanong ni Ezra sa telepono.

”
Oh? Talaga! Need na ako dyan ni Mommy as in now na?! Sige Ezra bye. See you later!”
I dropped the call after saying goodbye to Ezra. I looked at Carlos with a sad face.

“Need mo na ba talagang umalis? Sayang naman, nabayaran ko na kasi ‘tong reservation and yung food for the two of us. I don’t think I can finish those foods alone.”
He’s looking at the ground while saying those words, disappointment was evident in his face.

“Halika na nga, sayang naman yung food and let’s also apply to Rossett’s Holdings Corporation after this?”
Di na ako nakatanggi sa alok niya.

The manager guided us to our seat when we entered the restaurant. Nasa bandang gilid yung table namin which is nice para madali kong malaman kung late na if matagalan kami.

The waiter gave us the menu, medyo di ako familiar sa mga pagkain kaya si Carlos nalang yung pina-order ko.

“Two sets of Pad Thai (Thai style Fried Noodles), Khao Pad (Fried Rice) and Mango Juice, please.”
Carlos uttered to the waiter.

Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na yung order and we both eat silently. He must came from a strict family considering na sobrang neat and proper niya kumain. The utensils aren’t making any sound, even if it’s touching the glass plate.

He instantly smiled when he noticed me looking at him after he finished eating. I sighed in disbelief when he smirked while wiping his mouth with a tissue.

“Done staring? I’m also good in sideviews.”
He said proudly. At talagang nag-side view pa ang mokong with matching wink.

”
Hindi naman, I am impressed with your table manners. Your parents must have taught you so well.”
I replied casually, trying to avoid the awkwardness between us.

“Kailangan eh, did you enjoy the food? I guess you did. Cause you’re now looking at me as if I’m your dessert.”
He said those words without even minding the other customers beside our table.

“Feelingero, I’m not looking at you. Medyo lang. And yes, I enjoyed the food so much. Babayaran nalang kita, nakakahiya naman.”

I think I saw the price on the menu earlier and one serving costs thousand.
Ba’t ko ba sinabing babayaran ko siya, eh wala akong pambayad?

“No need, since I’m the one who invited you to have lunch with me. You can pay me back by giving your best later in Rossett’s Holdings Corp.”
He suggested.

“I will give my best shot. Syempre ikaw din. Pag nakapasa ako, ililibre kita sa first pay ko.”
Hinihiling ko na sana’y makapasa ako para makabawi naman ako sa kanya.

We headed back to the parking lot and we immediately went to Rossett’s Holdings Corporation. The main reason why I applied to this company is because of their salary. Even the smallest position earns 25,000 pesos a month. Malaking tulong iyon para sa mga kapatid kong nag-aaral din.

Nang makapag-park na si Carlos ay pumasok na kami sa 1st floor. This is the company’s registration area for applicants who are willing to apply for any positions. Magkatabi kami ni Carlos habang nagfi-fill out ng registration form. I noticed that he’s left handed and he looked so firm and professional. Aakalain mong para siyang CEO ng kompanya.

Carlos Azaac R. Acosta

,
that’s his full name.

Kanina ko pa napapansin na madaming nakatingin kay Carlos. Yung registrar, yung ilang guards at mga ilang employado na dito din nagta-trabaho. He’s good looking kaya siguro sila napapatingin. But the way they look at him is not the way you admire a person. They look scared for some unknown reason.

“A-All the applicants, if you’re done kindly follow me in Recruitment Office.”
The lady from the registrar announced which made us follow her.

Rossett’s Holdings Corporation is such a big company. Based on my research, may mga branches din sila all over the Philippines and abroad. Pagkapasok ng lahat ng mga applicants sa Recruitment Office ay pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang loob ng opisina and I must say na mas spacious ito kumpara sa ilang kompanya na pinuntahan ko kanina. It has 10 brown leather sofas and glass tables per each. Ang ganda rin ng interior design na puro black and brown ang kulay.

I passed the initial interview and the written test as usual. From 14 applicants we’re down to 4. Kasama ko pa rin si Carlos. Alas-6 na ng gabi at hanggang ngayon ay naghihintay pa rin kami para sa final interview. Meanwhile, Carlos is sitting comfortably while his eyes are closed. The two ladies who also passed are looking at him. They are murmuring to each other’s ears, but I can still hear their words clearly.

“Ang gwapo ni Kuya, do you think he has a girlfriend?”
Tanong ng isang babae isa sa kasama nya.

“Sana wala. Parang mas gusto kong mag-apply as girlfriend niya…”

The girl next to her giggled.

Maya-maya pa ay biglang pumasok sa Recruitment Office ang isang lalaki. His Jo Malone cologne filled the entire room. Wearing red long sleeves and a silk black suit on top. He’s talking on his phone and didn’t pay attention to all of the eyes looking at him. He directly went inside the Executive Office.

“The one who will conduct the final interview has arrived, this is a one-on-one interview that will last for only 5 minutes. You need to make him impressed, so you can pass. Good luck to all of you!”
The HR said in an autoritative tone.

Nauna na yung isa sa mga babae na kanina pa nakatingin kay Carlos. After 2 minutes, the girl came out of the executive office crying. The same thing happened to the second girl.

Ano ba ang nangyayare? I mean, is it their first time being rejected?

Akmang aalis na ako sa pwesto ko dahil sa takot nang mapansin kong wala na sa tabi ko si Carlos. He left his folder on the table. He must have brought his phone with him since it’s not there along with his folder.

“Mr. Kyle Stanley Ateniano? Kindly proceed to the Executive Room.”
The HR called my name to get my attention.

Gustuhin ko mang umalis pero wala na akong takas. Nakatingin na sa akin ang ilang mga guards dahil ako nalang ang mag-isang aplikante dito sa Recruitment Room. Sobra yung kaba ko habang papalapit sa Executive Room. My hands are freezing cold and my legs are trembling.

When I entered the executive room, I noticed that the office was all black. Some trophies and certificates are posted on the wall, and the interior is very manly. I sat on the black leather sofa while waiting for the man who smelled like Jo Malone in a black silk suit to turn around since he was facing the wall while sitting on his ergonomic office chair.

The chair turned and faced my direction. He had a nice faded haircut. He had a hawkish nose. A nice thick shape of eyebrows and those dark hazel eyes invite me. The 3 buttons on his red long sleeve are open, revealing his perfectly toned chest. I decided to face the wall beside me and let some of the strands of my hair cover my eyes. I haven’t had my haircut yet, so it’s pretty long for a man. My hair is straight, unlike me, and it’s bouncy. When I finished my studies a month ago, I dyed my hair an ash gray color. 

“Ms. Ateniano? Are you done counting the awards that we received from this year?”
He asked in a sarcastic tone.

But, wait, did he say I’m a “Miss”? I’m wearing a white long sleeve and fitted slacks. I had a thin figure, so he must have thought that I was a girl or a lesbian. 

“I-I’m sorry sir. I’m Kyle Stanley Ateniano and I’m here for my final interview.”
I

said while stuttering because I find his gaze very intimidating.

“Are you a girl or a boy?You look like a girl but, your voice sounds like a boy before his puberty.”
He teased while looking intently into my eyes.

I was shocked when he stood up from his seat. He’s now leaning on the table in front of me. I gently removed the strands of my hair that were covering my eyes and put them on the side of my ear. I saw him bite his lower lip. I don’t know where I should put my eyes. His face is now very welcoming, unlike earlier. His perfectly toned shoulders and biceps that can literally carry me like a piece of paper…

I noticed that the zipper on his pants was open, revealing his Calvin Klein red boxers. I swallowed the lump in my throat before I focused myself on his face.

 

Did he unzip the zipper of his pants intentionally? Or did he do something to those girls who cried earlier?
I don’t know and I don’t care. He’s a walking red flag, that’s for sure.

 

His bulge is what I’m facing if I look at him since I’m still sitting and he’s standing right in front of me.

 

I badly want to leave this room now. This is getting hotter.

I decided to just look up at his face. He folded his long sleeves up to his elbow. He can pass as an H&M model or even Calvin Klein if he’s only wearing his red boxers, which are now showing since he didn’t zip his pants.

 

“Mr. Ateniano, can you pick up the pen in front of me?”
That didn’t sound like a request. That’s an order based on how I heard it.

 

Without wasting any more seconds, I quickly picked up the pen in front of him, making me kneel and face the ground. 

“Good. Now I want you to do your best to sell that to me. ”
He’s now looking at the pen that I’m holding.

 

I checked his table on his back and I saw that he had a lot of pens. As in a lot. Different brands and those are expensive pens, that’s for sure. While the pen that I’m holding is just a simple pen, not even a sign pen or a ballpoint pen.

 

”

Before I proceed, I just want to ask if you need a pen.”
I asked him since I really don’t know where to start.

 

”
As you can see, I had a lot of pens on my table, Mr. Ateniano. I bet you already counted it since you’re more focused on them than the main course in front of you.”
He must have noticed that I’m not comfortable looking at him. 

”

Then I won’t sell you this pen anymore. I can see that you had tons of pens, but I’m not sure if those are still working since all of the lids are open. I know for sure that no matter how much I try to sell you this pen, if you’re not interested in buying it, then we’re just wasting our time. I bet you agree, since you’re a businessman, right? You haven’t said your name to me before asking me this question as an introduction. You could’ve just written your name on a piece of paper and used one of those “pens” on your table, but you didn’t. I can just give you this pen for free, no need to thank me. ”
I said those words proudly before I left his office and handed him the pen that I’m holding. 

Mag-aapply nalang ako sa ibang companies. Marami pa namang iba dyan.
Sino ba siya? Napaka-presko, akala mo naman siya yung may ari ng kumpanya.

The HR looked amused since I didn’t cry when I left the Executive Office. I immediately opened the glass door and left that building. I went to the parking lot and saw the car of Carlos that was still parked there. 

I didn’t see him when I left the building. I want to say goodbye and thank him for the lunch, but he’s not around. Sumakay nalang ako ng taxi at umuwi sa bahay.

Pagpasok ko nang pintuan nakita ko kaagad si Ezra kausap si Mommy. Mukhang seryoso ang pinag-uusapan nila dahil nandito pa din sa bahay si Ezra kahit alas-9 na ng gabi. Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad nang mapansin ni Ezra ang aking mga hakbang.

“Ghorl! Bakit ngayon ka lang? Kanina pa ako nandito kasi sabi mo hinahanap ka na ng Mommy mo. Sabi ni tita hindi ka naman daw niya hinahanap.”
Ezra worriedly asked.

“Nag-apply ako, alam naman ni Mommy ‘yon. Sorry, ginabi na ako antagal kasi dumating nung nag-interview.”
Mahinhin kong sagot.

“Naku, anak pinag-alala mo ako. Kanina pa nandito itong si Ezra at panay ang sabing tumawag na kami ng pulis at baka napaano ka,”
May bahid ng pag-alalang tugon ni Mommy.

“Ghorl, alam mo bang nanggaling akong Laguna para lang pumunta dito kasi akala ko kung napaano ka. Iba yung sagot mo sa mga tanong ko kanina. Iniwan ko tuloy yung P.A ko.”
Ezra groaned in frustration.

2 years na ang nakalipas ng seryosohin ni Ezra ang pagmomodel. Naging model siya noong baby palang sa isang Diaper Commercial pero nitong dalawang taon lang siya nagseryoso pagkatapos ng kolehiyo. Late na kasi ako grumaduate because of financial problem. Although my friends helped me in their own ways, I still decided to stop studying to help my dad. 

Umuwi na din kaagad si Ezra matapos ang makabagbag-damdaming pagda-drama. Sa aming magkakaibigan si Ezra talaga yung pinaka-close ko.
Bago ako matulog ay nagpasa ulit ako ng resume ko via email sa iba’t-ibang companies. Sabi nung HR sa Rossett’s Corporation ay tatawagan daw nila ako kung makapasa. Hindi na ako umaasa dahil sa inasal ko kanina.

Kinabukasan, kumain muna ako ng almusal bago ako mag-ayos para makapag-apply. I’m wearing a sky blue polo and loose pants and I partnered it with a Gucci belt na regalo sakin ni Ezra last birthday ko.
Blue sneakers for my feet, and I’m done. I’m putting light make-up on my face just to cover my blemishes and just putting an ample amount of liptint on my cheeks and lips. 

My parents already knew that I’m gay. Even my siblings. Mahirap noong una especially kay Daddy pero tinanggap naman niya ako since he had no choice but, he became distant to me. Nagsasabay kaming kumain pero di niya na ako masyadong kinakausap.

Paglabas ko ng kwarto, ang boses ni Mommy ang una kong narinig. Second floor ang bahay at nasa taas ang kwarto ko. Nasa living room siya pagbaba ko at may kausap sa telepono. Binaba niya ang tumawag at nakangiting yumakap sakin.

“Anak, you did it. I’m super proud of you. I knew that you will bring home the crown!”
Masayang bati sa ‘kin ni Mommy habang yakap ako nang mahigpit.

“Mom, baka di na masundan ang susunod na Miss Universe kapag malagutan ako ng hininga.”
I responded to my mom since I can’t breath because of her tight hug.

“Sorry, anak! I’m just excited. So, ‘yan na ba yung susuotin mo? Are you going now to Rossett’s Corp?”
My mom asked while looking at the clothes that I’m wearing.

“No, Mom. I’m planning to apply to different companies,”

I said, and I was shocked when I heard her reply.

 

“You already passed sa Rossett’s Corp, bakit ka pa mag-aapply sa iba?”
Nagtatakang tanong ni Mommy.

She said that Rossett’s HR Manager had just called and announced that I had passed the final interview.
Naguguluhan ako at di makapaniwala kung paano ako nakapasa. Napakaraming tanong sa aking isipan pero minabuti ko nalang na huwag ito sabihin.

Now, I’m in front of Rossett’s Building. Mayroon itong 50 floors at naka-sentro ito sa gitna ng Makati. Ito ang isa sa pinakamataas at matagumpay na kompanya sa Pilipinas. Pinilit kong ngumiti bago ako pumasok sa loob ng gusali.

This is the start of my career journey.

M.W.R.A.Y-4

Nakakatuwang pinapasok naman ako ng guard nung sinabi kong bago lang akong empleyado. Sabi ni Mom, kailangan daw ako dito bago mag-alas 10 ng umaga. It was already 9:45 am when I got here. The registrar asked me to go to the 5th floor to check which department I would be working with. 

Pumasok ako ng elevator kasabay ng ilang empleyado. Kanina ko pa napapansin ang tingin sa akin ng mga tao sa loob ng elevator. Marahil ay nagtataka silang makakita ng bagong mukha sa loob ng kanilang kompanya.

Tumigil ang elevator sa 5th floor at sumabay ako sa paglabas ng ibang empleyado. Sinusundan ko lang sila mula sa likod dahil hindi ko naman alam kung saan ako pupunta. Nahihiya din akong magtanong dahil wala akong kakilala.

Tumigil sila sa teller machine at napaawang ang aking labi nung makitang kailangan ng I.D para makapasok sa loob. At dahil bago lang ako, ay wala ako non. Naglibot ako ng tingin pero wala ring guards sa paligid. Limang minuto na ang nakalipas at nandito pa din ako. Pakiramdam ko’y maiiyak na ako nung biglang may nagsalita.

“Do you want to just stand there ‘till the end of your shift?”
A cold voice from behind broke the silence. 

Marahan akong tumingin sa likod at nagulat nang makita kung sino ang nagsalita. It’s Carlos. Nakapasa rin pala siya kagabi. Huminga ako nang maluwag nung mapansing may suot siyang I.D.

“I’m shocked to see you here, Carlos

!

Buti nakapasa ka rin at may kilala na ako.”
Maligayang bati ko habang papunta kami sa Finance Department.

”

Makakapasa talaga ako, sa gwapo kong ‘to. Takot lang nila kung di nila ako tanggapin.”
He proudly mumbled.

Napairap nalang ako sa hangin, dahil kagaya kahapon, mahangin na naman si Carlos. Nakakapagtaka na wala kaming kasama pero alam niya kung saan kami pupunta. Maraming pasikot-sikot ang bawat pasilyo kaya mas lalo akong namangha.

We reached a huge office, and Carlos swiped his card beside the sliding door, and it automatically opened. A lot of employees are busy in front of their computers, some are talking on their telephones, and others are chit-chatting with their co-workers.

“Announcement everyone! These are Mr. Acosta and Mr. Ateniano. They were newly hired yesterday. Welcome to Rossett’s Holdings Corporation! Mr. Acosta will be here in our department while Mr. Ateniano needs to go on the 50th floor. ”
The man in a pair of brown suits announced it.

 

Mukhang magkahiwalay kami ni Carlos dahil dito siya magta-trabaho habang sa 50th floor naman daw ako pupunta. After that announcement, all of the employees happily greeted us. Some of them even shook our hands. 

Mr. Santillan, the one who made the announcement, gave me my I.D. before I walked towards the elevator. The lace of my I.D is different from theirs. Mine is pink, while Carlos and the other employees are silver.

I was the only one inside the elevator, and it took me five minutes or more before the elevator stopped at the 50th floor. Unlike the other floors, this one looks empty aside from the big sliding door at the center.

 

When I entered the office, I noticed big bookcases on the walls and different trophies. I checked the pictures hanging there and I saw that this company is achieving such accomplishments not only here in the country but also in the U.S. and other southern countries. 

 

”

You’re 7 minutes and 35 seconds late, Mr. Ateniano! Is that how the secretary does their job? ”
A deep voice called my name. It sounds familiar, the way he called me.

 

Kaagad akong napatingin sa likuran at nakita ko yung lalaking nag-interview sa ‘kin kahapon. He’s wearing a gray suit and his hair was combed sideways. Amoy na amoy ang Jo Malone niyang pabango na di ko kaagad napansin nung pumasok ako sa opisina niya.

”
I’m sorry, sir. This will not happen again in the future.”

I bowed and sincerely apologized.

I stood up straight again and I saw the pen that I gave to him yesterday in the right pocket of his suit. He noticed that I was looking there, so he smirked. He gave me a piece of paper, and I read it.

 

“Terrence Axel Rosett, please take care of me.”
His whole name was written on the paper he gave me. 

 

Kinakabahan akong tiningnan siya at alam kong natutuwa siyang makita ang mukha kong namumutla sa kaba. Di ko akalain na ang lalaking binara ko kahapon ay isa palang tagapagmana ng buong kompanya.

”
You see it right. I’m Terrence Axel Rossett. I’m the step-son of Madalane and Alexander Rossett and the CEO of this corporation. You’ll be my secretary from now on.”
He said this with a grin on his face.

Hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung paano ako nakapasa at ang maging sekretarya niya ay sobra naman yata.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinaplano niya pero naliwanagan ako nung sinimulan niya akong utusan ng kung ano-ano.

Pinabili niya ako ng kape sa pantry na nasa 10th floor pa at pina-type niya sa ‘kin ang mga hard copies ng report galing sa Legal Department. Alas-dose na ng tanghali nung nakapag-lunch ako. I have never felt so exhausted in my whole life. My shoulders were down when I reached the pantry, which is located on the 10th floor.

Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik nung makita ko si Carlos na nakikipag-usap sa ibang empleyado. Mabait naman talaga siya kaya di nakapagtatakang mabilis siyang nagkaroon ng kakilala. Nakita niya akong naglalakad palapit sa isang stall nung bigla niya akong tinawag.

“Kyle! Dito ka na kumain. I ordered your food already!”

Napatingin sa direksyon ko ang ilang empleyado dahil sa lakas ng boses ni Carlos.

I had no choice but to walk towards him. I saw that he was with two girls who are around my age. It looks like Carlos saved a seat for me beside him. 

“Hi! I’m Sheila, and this is Cassandra.”
The girl with a messy bun said while introducing the girl beside her.

 

”

Hello, I’m Kyle. Nice to meet the two of you!”
I offered my hand, but they didn’t take it.

Sheila looks very seductive. I don’t know if it’s allowed in this company to unbotton their sleeves, but her cleavage was very evident. While Cassanda is the conservative one, she’s wearing thick black eyeglasses and her clothing is very formal.
Carlos, beside me, grabbed my hands instead and shook them. I’m glad he did that to avoid the awkwardness between me and the two girls.

 

Umupo nalang ako at nagsimula ng kumain. May pizza, chicken wings, rice at bottled juice ang nakahanda sa lamesa. I started eating. Kanina pa pala ako hinihintay ni Carlos bumaba kaya ayaw niyang umalis. Isang oras ang lunch at mukhang kanina pa tapos kumain ang dalawang babae, dahil nakatingin nalang sila sa ‘min ni Carlos.

”
You should try this gravy. This one’s good, I promise.”
Carlos pointed at the cheese gravy in front of him.

Ang dalawa kong mga kamay ay may hawak na manok at pareho na yung may gravy kaya, hindi ko na masasawsaw ‘yon ulit. My eyes widened when Carlos grabbed a chicken wing and dipped it in the cheese gravy. I was stunned when he put the chicken in front of my lips.

Nagdadalawang-isip ako kung kakagat ba ako sa chicken na hawak niya. I saw the eyes of some employees looking at me and Carlos. He’s looking at me with a what-are-you-waiting-for expression on his face.

I was about to open my mouth when someone bit into the chicken behind me. Magkadikit na yung pisngi namin nung nasa likuran ko nang kinagatan niya yung chicken na hawak ni Carlos.
I froze for a moment, trying to calm my nerves.

“Sorry bud, I need my secretary in my office now.”
Marahan nitong hinaplos ang balikat ko. I know for sure that it’s him.

M.W.R.A.Y-5

Dahil na rin sa sobrang hiya na aking naramdaman, ay wala na akong nagawa kundi iwanan ang table nina Carlos at sumama sa boss kong echusero.

Nasa elevator kami ngayon and I think this is the longest time ever. Imagine from 10th floor to 50th floor ang tinagal namin don. At bakit naman kasi nasa pinaka-tuktok yung office niya?

Nasa left side ako ng elevator while he’s at my right side. Medyo lumalayo ako kanya dahil parang kanina pa magkasalubong ang mga kilay niya. I took a glance at him at the mirrored door of the elevator, and he was throwing death glares at me. Yumuko nalang ako at hinayaan ang mga mata kong tabunan ng aking buhok.

Nang makarating kami sa 50th floor ay padabog niyang hinigit ang palapulsuhan ko. Masyadong mabilis ang mga pangyayari kaya hindi ako nakapalag. Masyado siyang malaki kumpara sa ‘kin at alam kong hindi ko siya kakayanin.

Agad siyang umupo sa swivel chair matapos niya akong bitawan nung makapasok kami sa loob ng kanyang opisina. Ako naman ay nanginginig na nakatayo sa harap ng table niya. I saw his jaw moved and how he clenched his fist.

“What happened there? Are you flirting with that newly hired guy?!”
Galit na tanong niya.

“Sir, I’m not. He’s just… someone I know. Wala pong malisya.”
I denied his accusation.

Hindi ko mawari kung bakit siya nagagalit. Sa pagkakatanda ko’y wala naman akong ginawang masama.
Parehas naman kaming lalaki ni Carlos. I’m starting to wonder if he already knew my real gender by the way he acted towards me being close to Carlos.

“I won’t tolerate office romance. A relationship with your co-employee can lead to termination. Do you understand, Mr. Ateniano? ”
He ordered.

“Yes sir! I understand.”
Wala naman akong magagawa kundi sundin siya dahil ayoko namang matanggal sa trabaho.

It’s almost the end of my shift, and Mr. Terrence Axel Rossett has already left.
May aasikasuhin pa daw siya. Naglinis muna ako ng table ko bago tuluyang umuwi.

I pressed the button for the 1st floor when I got inside the elevator.
Tumigil naman ito sa pang-limang palapag kung nasaan ang Finance Department. Hindi ako nagtaka nung pumasok ang ilang empleyado sa elevator kasama si Carlos at parang nagulat pa nung makita ako.

Nakangiting tumabi sa akin si Carlos kaya gumilid ako nang bahagya. Panay ang tanong niya sa akin kung kumusta ang unang araw ko sa trabaho pero maiksi ang binibigay kong mga sagot.

Tumigil ang elevator sa unang palapag at nagulat ng lumabas din si Carlos. Nasa ground floor ang parking lot kaya dapat ay doon siya pumunta. Sinusundan niya lang ako hanggang sa makalabas ako ng building. Lumingon ako sa kanya at nagpaalam.

“Kyle, ayaw mo bang ihatid kita? Mukhang parehas lang naman ang daan natin. Sa ‘kin ka na sumabay. Are you… still uncomfortable with me?”
Carlos anxiously asked.

Napansin kong kapag nahihiya si Carlos ay mahilig niyang hawakan ang kanyang batok. I find it cute though, pero dahil nangako ako sa boss ko, ay hindi na ako nagpahatid.

Nang makarating ako sa bahay ay naabutan kong kumakain sina Mom, Dad, Renz at Steven. Si Renz ang sumunod sa akin sa magkakapatid. He’s 18 years old, while Steven is 15.
Nakakatuwang isipin na ako ang panganay pero parang ako ang bunso dahil sa kung paano ako asikasuhin ng mga kapatid ko. They all know I’m gay at sobrang protective nila sa ‘kin.

“Nandito na pala si Kuya Kyle, upo ka na dito kuya!”
Bati ni Renz habang tinuturo ang upuan sa tabi niya.

Nagmano ako kila Dad bago umupo sa sa hapag-kainan. Tahimik lang kaming kumain at pagkatapos ay kinwento ko sa kanila ang nangyari sa opisina. Masaya naman silang nakikinig maliban kay Dad na mukhang walang pakialam.

Nasa kuwarto ako ngayon at tapos na akong maligo. I’m wearing my Stitch Terno Pajamas when I jump into my bed. My heart skipped a beat when I heard my phone ding. I opened it and saw that it was from our friends’ group chat.

Me:

Thanks guys. I love you all! Mwah!

Naging maayos naman ang unang linggo ko sa Rossett’s Corporation. Nagpapahatid nalang ng pagkain si Mr. Rossett sa loob ng opisina niya kasama nung akin para di na ako bumaba sa 10th floor kung nasaan ang pantry. Hindi na rin kami masyadong nagkikita ni Carlos matapos ang nangyari nung unang araw ko dito.

Sabado na sa wakas at nakahanda na ang aking mga gamit. Nagdala lang ako ng ilang damit, skincare products, phone at powerbank. Uuwi naman kami pabalik sa lunes dahil may kanya-kanya rin kaming trabaho.

Alas-7 ng umaga ng bumusina ang isang Silver Bentley na sasakyan sa labas ng bahay. I knew that’s the car of Ezra. Susunduin niya daw kasi ako dahil wala naman akong kotse. Hindi na rin siya bumaba ng kotse para batiin si Mommy, dahil maraming nadaan sa labas ng bahay namin at baka makita siya. Bigatin kasi ‘tong friend ko na si Ezra. Di naman siya makatanggi sa mga nagpapa-picture kaya minsan natatagalan kami sa mga trips namin. He’s a famous model for different luxury brands of clothes. 

Nilagay ko na yung bag ko sa compartment ng kotse niya bago sumakay sa shotgun seat. Ezra is wearing a floral Polo shirt and flowy shorts. He paired them with black boots. Naka-white naman ako na tshirt na fitted yung neck part. I’m wearing comfy black shorts and just a pair of Nike slippers. 

Sinundo muna namin si Levi dahil baka di na naman ito makapunta. Levi is the adventurous member of our squad. He’s a liberated person and the most outrageous. Makikita mo siya sa mga clubs, bars and hotels kung wala siyang project. He’s a Media Arts graduate, a photographer and an art lover. He often travels all over the world just to take pictures for his company’s art exhibits.

Pagka-park namin sa lot ng condo, ay ako na ang bumaba ng kotse para gisingin si Levi. I was now in front of his room when I pressed the doorbell. I was shocked when a man opened the door for me. He’s half naked and sweating heavily.

Matipuno ang katawan ng lalaking nasa harap ko. Moreno ang kutis at matangkad. He’s only wearing his red boxers. Bigla akong may naalala sa red boxers kaya nag-init ang aking pisngi.

”
Malaki ba? I can make it bigger if you want?”
The pervert guy pissed me off.

 

“Pag sinipa ko yan, lalaki talaga yan pag namaga!”
Pagbabanta ko sa kanya.

Muli kong tiningnan ang unit number na nasa taas ng pinto para masigurong nasa tamang unit ako. Di nga ako nagkamali nung makita ko si Levi sa living room na pawis din. He’s wearing a Sando Shirt and Black Jogging pants.

“Tom, ‘di ba sabi ko umalis ka na! Anong oras na at baka dumating na yung mga friends k-”
Napatigil si Levi nung makita ako sa pinto katapat ng lalaking kasama niya.

“Levi, halika na. Naghihintay na si Ezra sa baba
.
”
I said to Levi before I rolled my eyes at the guy in front of me.

Umalis naman kaagad ang lalaki matapos magbihis. Levi just quickly went to the bathroom. He was wearing an oversized rainbow shirt, which covered his black shorts when he went out after a few minutes.

Nilagay ni Levi ang gamit niya sa compartment ng kotse ni Ezra bago pumasok na passenger seat. Nasa shotgun seat pa rin ako katabi ni Ezra nang magsimula siyang magmaneho.

“Sorry guys kakatapos ko lang mag-yoga…”
pagdadahilan ni Levi.

“Yoga ba talaga?”
sabay naming tanong ni Ezra kaya tumawa nalang kami.

Sa aming apat na magkakaibigan. Si Levi ang may pinaka-active na sex life. Di naman ako naiinggit kahit na wala akong karanasan. May ilan rin namang nagtangkang manligaw sa akin noon pero hindi ko naman pinatulan. Di yata ako matatanggap ni Daddy kapag nagpakilala ako ng lalaki sa bahay.

Malapit na kami sa Laguna nung biglang nasiraan yung kotse ni Ezra. At dahil hindi naman siya pwedeng bumaba ay kami na ni Levi ang tumingin kung ano ang dahilan nito. Ang iksi ng shorts na suot ko kaya nahihiya akong tingnan ang mga gulong. Si Levi na ang nag-presentang
tumingin at di alintana ang sikat ng araw. Flat yung tire sa left side sa bandang likod ng kotse ni Ezra. Nasa gilid kami ng highway at mag-aalas-11 na ng umaga.

Tumawag na rin si Ezra sa Personal Assistant niya. Wala siyang dalang spare tire at hindi rin kami pwedeng mag-commute dahil siguradong pagkakaguluhan si Ezra. Pumasok si Levi sa loob ng kotse habang ako ay nasa labas at tinatawagan si Zein nang biglang pumarada ang isang sasakyan sa likod ng kotse ni Ezra.

It’s a Lexus Car silver car. Alam ko kung kaninong kotse ito kaya hindi na ako nagtaka nung lumabas si Carlos ng sasakyan.

M.W.R.A.Y-6

He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt, fitted jeans, and Versace Trigreca Sneakers when he got out of his car.
Nakangiti agad itong lumapit sa akin at bigla akong niyakap. He smells like Dior lemon scent nung dumikit sa ilong ko yung balikat niya. Mas matangkad siya sa ‘kin kaya medyo yumuko siya. Kaagad naman akong umalis sa pagkakayakap niya dahil sa pagka-ilang.

“What are you doing here in Laguna? Gusto mo sabay ka na sa akin?”
Carlos offered.

“Well, I’m going to one of the resorts here in Laguna and I’m with my friends.”
I said this while pointing to Ezra’s car.

Napahawak siya sa kanyang batok nung tumanggi na naman ako sa alok niya. Everytime kasi na nagkikita kami pag uwian ay lagi niya akong inaalok na sumakay sa kotse niya para ihatid ako. Maya-maya pa ay lumabas ng kotse si Levi at nagulat nung makita akong may kausap na isang lalaki.

“OMG! Nandito na pala yung magsusundo satin Ezra. Bumaba ka na dyan!”
Masayang sabi ni Levi nung makita si Carlos.

Binulungan ko si Levi na hindi si Carlos ang tinawagan ni Ezra para sunduin kami. Nakakahiya at napagkamalan pa niya itong isa sa mga staffs mula sa Modelling Agency na pinagta-trabahuhan ni Ezra.

“Nasiraan pala kayo ng sasakyan? Kung gusto niyo, ihatid ko nalang kayo sa pupuntahan niyo since dito rin pala sa Laguna yung resort kung saan kayo magce-celebrate.”
Carlos offered with a smile.

“Carlos, nakakahiya naman, tsaka malapit na ding dumating yung susundo samin.”
I attempted to decline his offer.

I can see the disappointed look on his face again. Ganyan din yung expression ng mukha niya nung tumanggi akong sumama sa kanyang mag-lunch nung una kaming magkita.
Siguro’y naging curious si Ezra kung bakit antagal ng sundo namin kaya bumaba na rin siya ng kotse. He’s now wearing a face mask and a cap to cover his face. Nakatingin si Ezra kay Carlos at alam kong galit ito dahil magkasalubong ang kanyang kilay.

”
Sir, you heard my friend declined your offer, so go ahead and drive your car and leave us alone. ”
Ezra said, in a cold tone.

“Ghorl, okay ka lang. Bakit ang moody mo? May buwanang dalaw ka ba? Nagma-magandang loob na nga yung tao.”
Levi caressed the back of Ezra, hoping it could calm him down.

“I know. Pero syempre may karapatan din naman tayong tumanggi at dapat lang na respetuhin niya yon!”
Pagtataray ni Ezra.

Sa aming apat na magkakaibigan, si Ezra ang pinaka-mature. Mas matanda itong mag-isip sa amin. Ezra and I are on the same age. Mabait naman si Ezra at siya yung klase ng kaibigan na pupuntahan ka kapag may problema. Very O.A ‘yan kapag nag-aalala siya sa ‘min. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit sobrang init ng ulo niya kay Carlos, dahil di naman siya ganyan sa ibang tao. Mabait siya kahit sa mga taong di niya kilala.

Maya-maya pa ay tinawagan ako ni Zein at sinabing wala daw available van na magsusundo sa amin at yung P.A ni Ezra ay hindi din makakapunta. Malugod kaming hinintay ni Carlos hanggang matapos ang tawag. Napakamot nalang ng ulo si Ezra dahil wala na kaming magagawa kundi ang sumabay kay Carlos.

Nasa shotgun seat ako habang sina Ezra at Levi ay nasa passenger seat. Naki-connect pa si Levi sa kotse ni Carlos at nagpatugtog ng music.

Now playing:
Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj

~Cookin’ up that base (Base), lookin’ like a kilo (Kilo)

~He just wanna taste (Taste), biggin’ up my ego (Ego)

~(Ridin’ through Texas…) Ridin’-ridin’ through Texas

“Pwede ba palitan niyo nalang yang song? Or wag nalang mag-ingay Levi?!”
sigaw ni Ezra na nagpatahimik sa aming lahat.

“May naalala ka ba sa song, Ghorl?”
Nang-aasar na tanong ni Levi kay Ezra.

“Wala!”
Mariing pagtanggi ni Ezra habang nakatingin kay Carlos na abala sa pagmamaneho.

Parents ni Zein ang may ari ng resort kaya pina-close muna ito nung malamang magce-celebrate kami ng dalawang araw. Tinulungan kami ni Carlos na ibaba ang mga gamit namin galing sa compartment ng kotse niya. Si Ezra na ang kumuha ng kanya at tumangging magpatulong kay Carlos.

Twenty minutes had passed when we reached the Garcia Private Resort.
Pinapasok naman kami kaagad ng guard dahil kilala na kaming kaibigan ng anak ng may-ari. Akala ko ay uuwi na si Carlos matapos kaming tulungan na maipasok ang aming mga gamit, pero lumapit pa siya sa customer service desk at may inabot na invitation.

“Yes, sir. Magsisimula po yung party ng 1 pm. Doon po kayo sa exclusive pool sa may left side.”
Sabi ng babae sa front desk at tinuro ang kaliwang pool na madaming tao at mukhang may party dahil sa ingay.

Bumalik sa amin si Carlos at sinabing dito din daw sa Resort nila Zein ang sadya niya. May kaibigan daw siya na may birthday and dito naisipang mag-celebrate. Nagulat kami sa sinabi niya dahil ipinangako sa amin ni Zein na sa aming magkakaibigan lang naka-reserve ang buong resort for 2 days.

Maya-maya pa ay biglang lumabas si Zein at may dalang salbabida. Handa na itong mag-swimming dahil nakasuot siya ng Board Shorts and Pink na rash guard. Kaagad siyang ngumiti nang makita kami at isa-isa kaming niyakap. Nanlaki ang mata niya nung makita si Carlos, marahil ay di niya ito kilala.

“Ghorls, pasensya na ah? Mukhang di natin maso-solo yung buong resort. Yung left pool kasi ay nakareserve na since last month at malaki yung binayad sa ‘min for birthday celebration. Yung right pool naman exclusive para sa ating apat. Okay lang ba?”
Nahihiyang tanong ni Zein.

“Okay lang Zein, no need to be sad tsaka birthday naman pala yung celebration sa kabilang pool. Let’s just give it to them since once a year lang naman ang birthday.”
I assured Zein, trying to calm him down.

“Thank you for being understanding. Halina kayo at ihahatid ko kayo sa room natin!”
Zein squealed.

Nagpaalam na kami kay Carlos maliban kay Ezra na hanggang ngayon ay galit pa rin. Nang makapasok kami sa Executive Suite ay kaagad akong namangha sa interior design ng room. Malaki ito at may apat na kwarto. May kitchen din na kompleto sa mga gamit. Puno rin ang refrigerator ng iba’t-ibang sangkap sa pagluluto.

Pumasok kami sa kanya-kanya naming bedrooms para mag-ayos ng gamit. Nilagay ko sa closet ang ilan kong damit habang sa bed-side table naman ang aking skincare products.

Nang matapos akong mag-ayos ay nagbihis na rin ako ng susuotin ko sa pag-swimming. I’m wearing a black rash guard with a touch of gray at the center. Ang iksi ng shorts na suot ko kaya nakaramdam ako ng pagka-ilang kahit kami lang namang apat ang nasa right pool.

I opened the window from the bedroom to check on the party outside. Nakita ko ang ilang mga tao sa left pool. May mga babaeng naka-bikini at mga lalaking naka-board shorts and topless. Nahagip ng aking mata si Carlos na may kausap na babae, she’s wearing a 2-piece violet bikini na may cross sa bandang dibdib. I guess she’s the birthday celebrant, dahil madaming bumabati sa kanya.

Hindi ko na siya masyadong pinagmasdan at nagawi ang tingin ko sa may pool. Napangiwi ako nung makita ang pamilyar na lalaki na umahon sa tubig. He had nothing on top, and his perfectly toned chest and biceps caught my attention. He removed the black goggles from his eyes and looked in my direction. I saw how he bit his lower lip and gave me a wink. I hurriedly closed the window when he met my eyes.

 

I couldn’t believe that my boss is also here. Akala ko makakapagpahinga na ako, pero mukhang malabo iyong mangyari.

M.W.R.A.Y-7

Wala na ako sa aking katinuan nung marinig kong may kumakatok sa pintuan ng bedroom.

“Ghorl, puti na ang mata namin dito. Antagal mo dyan!”
That’s Levi for sure. Ang ingay eh.

“Hala Levi! Patingin ako ng puting mata?”
Walang duda na si Zein iyon.

“Sorry guys. Let’s go?”
Pagyaya ko sa kanila pagkabukas ko ng pinto.

Sumunod kami kay Zein. Naka-rash guard din si Ezra na blue and hindi na siya naka-face mask. Nagsuot nalang siya ng shades while Levi is wearing a fitted long sleeves swimwear and cycling shorts. Nang makalabas kami ay dumiretso na kami sa right pool. Isa lang yung oval pool at blue ang tiles sa ilalim. May mga rubber ducks na nakalutang at mga salbabida. Handa na rin ang mga barbeque na iihawin mamaya.

May ilang nakakilala kay Ezra kahit na naka-shades ito at nagpa-picture sa kanya. Si Zein naman ay nakikipag-bulungan sa Manager ng resort habang si Levi naman ay may kausap ng lalaki na nakasuot ng white boxer shorts sa gilid. Mukhang nagkaka-mabutihan na sila nung biglang hawakan ng lalaki ang bandang puwetan ni Levi.

“Not so fast baby, hmmm…”
Levi flirtily whispered.

“Sorry, my love. Your nice ass is inviting me.”
aniya ng lalaki habang kagat ang kanyang ibabang labi.

Nag-iwas nalang ako ng tingin. Tumahak ako sa gitnang stall para umorder ng kape nang may biglang humawak sa bewang ko mula sa likod. Tiim bagang akong napatingin sa kanya. He’s wearing black cycling shorts kaya kapit na kapit iyon sa harapan niya. He’s not wearing anything on top aside from his bullet necklace. He had a high-fade haircut, and his hair color was chestnut brown. His hair color suits his moreno skin type.

”

Do you want an Americano? Espresso? Latte? Or tea? I can give you my tea if you’d like.”
He asked in his husky voice.

“Sorry, I don’t talk to strangers.

”
Malamig kong sagot sa kanya at tumalikod.

I was about to order a coffee pero napilitan akong umorder ng iced tea para malamigan. He’s hot pero isa ring walking red flag just like a certain someone na ayoko ng sabihin kung sino. The lady who served my drink said that the guy earlier already paid my drink.

Bumalik nalang ako sa cottage namin. Wala na si Levi at mukhang alam ko ng sumakabilang langit na ito ngayon. Si Ezra naman ay mukhang tapos ng kumandidato sa daming nagpa-picture. Nagulat ako nang dumating si Zein at may bitbit na cake at may mini-picture ko ito sa itaas. It’s a mocha cake which is my favorite at parang gusto ko ng kainin ng lupa nang makita ko ang manager ng resort kasama ang ilang guards na may hawak na tarpaulin at may nakasulat na…

“HAPPY 1ST WEEK OF EMPLOYMENT KYLE ATENIANO ‘OUR BB. MAKAHIYA’ FROM RAINBOW SQUAD!”🌈💅

Jusko! At may tugtog pa sa background na…

~Kunin at tanggapin ang alay na ito

Para kaming nasa misa sa simbahan kaya napatingin ang mga tao sa gawi namin. Ang iba ay nagtatawanan habang yung ibang matatanda ay nag-sign of cross pa. Alam kong si Levi ang isa sa may kagagawan nito at napag-utusan lang si Zein.

Hapon na nung magsimula na kaming mag-swimming. Magkatabi kami ni Ezra na nakasandal sa gilid ng pool habang si Zein ay naka-salbabida at nakikipag-usap sa mga rubber duckies niya. Wala namang sakit sa pag-iisip si Zein, sadyang slow lang siya minsan at sobrang inosente.
Ilang oras ang nakalipas nung natanaw ko si Levi na mukhang bagong gising. Wala na yung lalaking kasama niya kanina nung pumunta siya sa gawi namin.

“Ghorl, saan ka ba galing? Nangingitim na kami dito at bilad sa araw tapos wala ka!”
Ezra crossed his arms over his chest.

“Sorry, nakatulog ako.”
Levi stretched his arms.

“Ikaw ba naman mag-yoga ng dalawang beses sa isang araw, mapapagod ka talaga.”
Sabat ko na ikinatuwa namin ni Ezra habang si Levi naman ay nasamid pa.

Naligo na rin si Levi sa pool. Pilit niyang kinekwento yung ginawa nilang dalawa nung lalaking kasama niya kanina, pero ayoko namang makinig. I’m so innocent to hear those things. Hinayaan ko na silang mag-usap ni Ezra at pinuntahan si Zein na abala sa pag-langoy.

Alas-8 na ng gabi at malakas na ang party songs ang maririnig sa kabilang pool. Mukhang nagsisimula na silang mag-inuman at may mga ilan ng lasing na kumakanta sa videoke.
Napag-desiyunan na rin naming apat na uminom at naluto na rin ang barbeques dahil sa tulong ng ilang staffs sa resort nila Zein.

Nasa table namin ang barbeques, mga sliced fruits, Alfonso I, Blended Scotch Whiskey at Rossi Moscato Red Wine. Hindi ako pala-inom kaya mababa ang alcohol tolerance ko. Nagsimulang tumungga si Levi habang si Ezra naman ay patikim-tikim lang. Si Zein ay binabantayan ng mga staff dahil hindi naman ito umiinom ng alak kagaya ko.

Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng inuman nang matanaw ko si Carlos na papunta sa direksyon namin. He’s now wearing a white sando, floral blue shorts and a pair Dior’s black slippers. Nang makalapit siya sa table ay niyakap niya agad ako. Nakita ko ang paglaki ng mata ni Levi at Zein habang si Ezra ay umiwas ng tingin.

”
Do you guys mind if I join your table?”
Paalam niya sa amin habang nakatingin kay Ezra.

“Sure! Why not? Basta ba mag-aambag ka ng $5,000.”
Asar ni Levi habang nakatingin kay Ezra.

“Para kang timang, Levi!”
Sigaw ni Ezra at lumakad palayo ng table namin.

“Sorry, I noticed your friend doesn’t like me since earlier.”
Worry was evident in Carlos’s eyes.

Napansin din pala niyang galit sa kanya si Ezra. Nakakahiya naman na siya na nga itong nag-offer na ihatid kami, pero ayaw talaga siyang kasama ng kaibigan ko.

“Naku, kuya. Mas better siguro kung susundan mo si Ezra. Mabait ‘yon pramis. Para bati na kayo.”
  Zein suggested while looking at Carlos.

Pagkatapos marinig ni Carlos ang sinabi ni Zein at dali-dali itong tumayo at sinundan si Ezra. Nagpatuloy kaming tatlo sa pag-inom nang makaramdam ako ng pagkahilo. Ang daya kasi ni Zein, dahil sa mga staff niya pinapainom yung mga shots na para sa kanya. Ano bang laban ko kay Levi sa inuman?

Nagpaalam muna ako sa kanilang dalawa at sinabing pupunta ako sa restroom. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako dinala ng mga paa ko. Malabo na ang aking paningin at parang akong dinadala sa ulap. Nasusuka na ako at di ko alam saan ko ito ilalabas. Pagewang-gewang ako at umiikot ang aking paningin. Nagulat ako nang may humawak sa bewang ko dahilan para humarap ako sa kanya at masukahan ko ang suot niyang damit.

“Shit! What have you done?!”
Iyan ang huli kong narinig bago ako mawalan ng malay.

Warning: This chapter contains mature content. Read at your own risk

.

Wala na akong lakas sa sobrang kalasingan nung mga oras na iyon. Alam kong nasukahan ko ang damit ng lalaking kaharap ko. Nakayakap na ako sa kanya at ramdam kong babad ito sa gym dahil sa matigas niyang dibdib. I could smell a familiar scent on his shirt, but I couldn’t remember when I smelled it.

Ugh! Smells like Jo Malone. I can live on his chest forever, that’s what I’m thinking during that time.

Di ko alam kung dahil ba sa kalasingan o parang may bumuhat sa akin. Pakiramdam ko’y ang gaan ko nung mga oras na ‘yon. Mas lalo akong nahilo nung buhatin niya ako nang patiwarik. Hawak niya yung bewang ko at nakasabit ang aking katawan sa balikat niya. My face is on his back and I’m holding a tight grip on his shirt. I gently touched his butt using my index finger.
I must be insane.

“Fuck! What are you doing?! You want me to throw you huh?”
That man shouted with his deep voice.

Boses palang gwapo na! Kung ganitong boses ba naman ang sisigaw sa akin araw-araw, ay parang gusto ko na siyang galitin lagi.

Lihim akong napangiti at hinayaan nalang siyang dalhin ako sa kung saan. Mahigpit nalang akong kumakapit sa Tshirt niya. Amoy suka ko na iyon pero mabango pa din.
Nabigla ako nung bigla niya akong ihagis sa malambot na kama.

Alam kong hindi ito ang kwarto namin nila Zein. Mas malaki ito at mas komportable. Lasing na nga yata ako pero kahit bahagyang nakapikit ang aking mata ay hindi nakawala sa aking paningin kung paano hubarin ng lalaki ang kanyang suot na Ghaphic Tshirt. His back is what I’m seeing, and those perfectly sculpted muscles caught my attention. Napalunok ako nang di ko namalayan.

Humarap siya sa akin pero wala akong pakialam sa kanyang mukha. I’m more focused on his 6 pack abs and the v-line on his white shorts. Napakagat ako ng labi at nilagay ang ilang hibla ng aking buhok sa gilid ng aking tenga, dahil tumatakip ito sa aking mga mata.

“Shit! you don’t know how I’m trying to keep myself behave when you’re doing that.”
He said those words seductively.

Ako ba yung kausap niya? Ano bang ginawa ko at minumura niya ako?

Parang gusto ko nang mahimasmasan para masilayan ko nang maigi ang kanyang mukha. Pilit akong umupo mula sa aking pagkakahiga nung makaramdam ako ng pagsusuka. I’m trying to keep it inside since I don’t want to mess with his bed.

“Jeez! Don’t you dare fucking vomit on my bed, I will fire you immediately!”
Kinakabahang sigaw ng lalaki sa ‘kin.

Masusuka na ako pero hindi ko binuka ang aking bibig, dahilan para bumalik ito sa aking tiyan. What a great talent I have!

“Fuck! Did you just swallow your dump? You can swallow something else but not that, babe.”
Nagpipigil ng tawa ang lalaki.

Wait, did I hear it right? Did he call me ‘babe’? Ako ba yung sinabihan niya? Pakiramdam ko’y nag-init ang aking pisngi nung marinig iyon. Hearing him call me “babe” in his deep voice is music to my ears.

Hinawakan niya ang balikat ko at inalalayan ako papasok sa comfort room. Isang malaking glass mirror ang tumambad sa akin pero malabo ang aking paningin kaya di ko siya maaninag. Nasa likod ko siya habang hawak ang aking bewang. I know that he’s topless and still wearing his white shorts.

Napatuwad ako nung makita ang bowl at agad na sumuka. I could feel something hard poking my ass, but I didn’t mind it. Pakiramdam ko’y nasuka ko lahat ng nakain ko kanina sa tagal kong nakatuwad doon.

Wala ako sa sarili nung sinubukan kong maglakad palabas ng banyo. The man behind me keep on saying curse words and murmurring something that I don’t understand. Nung malapit na ako sa kama ay humarang siya sa harap ko. Di ko alam kung ano ang pumasok sa utak ko nung tinulak ko siya sa kama at pumatong ako sa kanya.

“Fuck! Kyle! What the hell are you doing?!”
Galit sa sabi nung lalaki dahil niyayakap ko na siya ngayon.

His Jo Malone scent envelopes me. Amoy ko pa rin ito sa kanyang dibdib. Medyo moreno ang kutis ng lalaki na kayakap ko. His chest is hard as stone. And I can feel the fast beating of his heartbeat since I’m leaning my head on his chest.

Marahan niyang inalis ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya at umalis ng kama. I badly want to hug him again, so I immediately sat on the bed. My lips parted when I saw the bulge on his white shorts. Wala sa katinuan akong lumuhod sa harap niya at hinawakan ang kung anong nasa shorts niya.

“Ugh! Fuck! Kyle, please I’m trying my best not to touch you, but that doesn’t mean you can touch me.”
He said those words hoarsely.

“You can touch me if you want Mr. Biggie, I’m not forbidding you…”
I playfully mumbled.

“No! I will only touch you if you’re not drunk.”
The man with a big bulge replied.

He said he wouldn’t touch me, so I think I can touch him. I gently pulled down his white shorts and red Calvin Klein boxers. The semi-erect cock came out of his undies. It’s my first time seeing another cock, but I know that his length is above average.

 

Hinawakan ko iyon gamit ang aking kanang kamay pero hindi iyon kasya sa aking palad. I moved my face close to his member and gently kissed the tip of it.

“Babe, you’re really good with teasing.”
He said while guiding my head.

I know what he wants me to do. I opened my mouth and tried to suck his shaft. Malaki iyon kaya ramdam kong nabanat ang bibig ko. I tried to suck it fully pero di pa ako umaabot sa kalahati ay naduduwal na ako.

“Ugh! Your mouth is better than a pussy.”
He’s gasping for air while looking at the ceiling. I can see how he’s breathing so fast. 

I started to suck it faster. The tip of his cock is touching my throat. I rolled my tongue while his cock was inside my mouth. Pagod na ang aking panga pero di ko na iyon ininda dahil sa tindi ng sensasyong aking nadarama.

I can feel he’s getting near when he’s already panting. Mabilis ang kanyang paghinga at ramdam kong mas lumaki ang kanyang sandata na nasa loob ng aking bibig. When he’s about to cum, he removed his shaft from my mouth and grab a tissue beside his bed and release it there.

“That was a mindblowing experience, babe.”
He mumbled before he kissed my forehead.

M.W.R.A.Y-9

Ang sinag ng araw mula sa glass door malapit sa veranda ang nagpagising sa akin. Wala sa sarili akong umupo mula sa aking pagkakahiga at nagulat sa aking nakita. Isang malaking kuwarto ito at may isang maleta na malapit sa closet. Mukhang hindi pa na-ayos ng may-ari ang kanyang mga gamit dahil ang ibang damit ay nakakalat pa sa lapag.

Narinig ko ang tunog ng shower mula sa comfort room at mukhang may naliligo sa loob. Napatakip ako ng bibig nang maalala ko ang nangyari kagabi.

Kyle Stanley Ateniano, walang duda isa ka ngang bakla!

Alam kong lasing ako kagabi pero I never thought that I can be that wild. Marahan kong tiningnan ang aking katawan na nakabalot sa puting kumot at napanatag nung makitang iyon pa rin ang suot ko. Dahan-dahan akong umalis sa kama at bigla pang nadapa nung sumabit sa paa ko ang isang white na shorts.

Napakagat ako ng labi habang madahang inaalis ang white shorts na sumabit sa paa ko. Mabuti naman at mukhang di ako narinig nung lalaki na abala pa rin na naliligo nung tuluyan na akong makalabas ng kwarto.

Huminga ako nang malalim habang tinatahak ang daan. Muntik pa akong maligaw kaya’t buti nalang ay nakita ko ang isang staff. Dinala ako ng staff sa operating room pagkatapos kong itanong kung nasaan ang mga kaibigan ko. Malayo palang ay rinig ko na ang pagsigaw ni Ezra habang si Zein naman ay umiiyak.

“Bakit di nakunan sa CCTV?! Paano kung may nangyaring masama sa kaibigan namin?”
inis na sabi ni Ezra sa operator.

Maraming monitors sa kanilang harap at pilit nilang chinecheck ang mga footage kagabi para malaman kung nasaan ako. Marahang pinapatahan ni Levi si Zein na kanina pa humihikbi dahil sa sobrang pag-iyak.

Napaawang ang aking labi nung sumulyap si Levi sa gawi ko at nilagay ang kanyang hintuturo sa bandang bibig. Nais niyang wag akong mag-ingay para di mapansin ang aking presensya.

“I think magagamit na natin ulit yung tarpaulin na pina-print ko. Pwede na siguro ‘yon isabit sa lamay. Maganda naman yung pagkaka-edit ko ng picture ni Kyle, ‘di ba?”
Malungkot na suwestyon ni Levi.

“Sinasabi ko na nga ba at ikaw yung may pakana nung tarpaulin na parang St. Peter ang pagkaka-edit!”
malakas kung sigaw kay Levi na ikinatuwa naman niya.

Kaagad na tumingin sa akin sina Ezra at Zein. Nagmamadali silang lumapit at mariin akong niyakap.

“Pasensya na kayo at mahirap maging caregiver sa Saudi. Natanggap niyo ba yung balik-bayan box na pinadala ko nung isang buwan?”
Pagbibiro ko.

“Talaga Kyle, bakit di ako nakatanggap?”
Bakas ang pagkadismaya sa mukha ni Zein.

“Di ka niya pinadalhan kasi di naman siya galing ng Saudi, galing siyang langit.”
bulong ni Levi kay Zein na siyang kinabigla ko.

Alam ba niya ang nangyari? Bakit di naman niya ako pinigilan? Di na tuloy birhen ang aking bibig.

Napag-desisyunan naming kumain ng breakfast sa kuwarto naming apat. Tinanong ko si Levi kung nakita niya ba ako kagabi pero hindi naman daw. Mukhang nagbibiro lang siya sa sinabi niya kanina.

Tanghali na nung lumabas kaming apat ng kuwarto. Nauna na sila sa right pool habang ako naman ay maingat na nilalakbay ang kuwarto kung saan ako nakatulog kagabi.

Gusto ko lang malaman kung sino ba si Mr. Biggie. Hindi naman ako magpapakilala dahil alam kong nakakahiya iyon. I just wanna see how he looks like. Nasa gilid lang ako at nagtatago sa malaking flower pot nung bumukas ang pinto ng kuwartong kanina ko pa tinitignan.

Lumabas ng pinto ang isang pamilyar na lalaki. Nakasuot siya ng Ripped Jeans, Navy Blue Fitted Shirt and Bullet Necklace. Siya yung lalaking manyakis na nakasalubong ko sa coffee stall. Mula sa malayo ay kita ko ang matipuno niyang katawan. Malapad din ang balikat at mas matangkad ito sa akin.

Lumaki ang mata ko nung papalapit siya sa gawi ko. Oo nga at malapit sa akin ang elevator. Nasa 5th floor kasi ang kuwarto niya at nasa baba ang pool, habang ang kuwarto namin nila Zein ay nasa 3rd floor.

Di ko alam kung ano ang pumasok sa utak ko at napag-desisyunan kong tumalikod at tumingin nalang sa dingding. Kinakapa ko pa ang pader at pinagmamasdan na para bang ito ang pinaka-importanteng bahagi ng buong resort.

“Ano to pader?”
pabulong kong sabi nung mapansin kong napatigil siya sa paglalakad sa tapat ko.

“Hindi ka sasagutin ng pader. Ako tanungin mo, sasagutin kita.”
Bulong niya tenga ko na siyang nagpataas ng aking balahibo.

Hindi pwedeng siya iyong lalaki kagabi. Pwede bang bumalik ang nakaraan? I saved my innocence for 23 years hindi para makuha lang ng lalaking ito. He’s good looking, I admit. Pero, I was saving all of my holes in my body for my future husband kung magkakaroon man. At alam kong sa landi nitong lalaking ito, ay hindi kami magkakasundo. I bet he has already bedded a lot of women.

Magkasalubong ang kilay ko siyang tinitingnan habang iniisip ang mga bagay na iyon. I saw how he licked his lower lip while looking at mine. Hindi ko na namalayan kung ilang minuto na ba kaming nagtititigan nang biglang may bumasag ng katahimikan.

“Mr. Ateniano, what are you doing here?”
I heard a familiar deep voice at my right side.

Dito rin pala sa floor na ito naka-check in si Mr. Terrence Rossett. Saang kuwarto kaya siya galing? Sa kanya ko nalang binaling ang aking tingin. Kung si Mr. Rossett siguro ang lumabas sa kuwartong kanina ko pa tinitignan ay matatanggap ko pa.

“I-I’m just checking the interior design of the whole resort, Mr. Rossett. I didn’t know you’re here. I’m glad to see you!”
Nauutal na bati ko.

I lied and I’m sure nakita niya ako kahapon sa bintana ng kuwarto namin nina Zein. Sobrang awkward ng eksena naming tatlo at gusto ko ng kumaripas ng takbo kung pwede lang. I gently put the strands of my hair beside my right ear. I saw how the two guys looked at me amusingly.

“Are you sure you didn’t see me. We just—”
Hindi na natapos ni Mr. Rossett ang kanyang sasabihin nung biglang magsalita ang lalaking nasa tabi ko.

”

Mr. Rossett, I’m sorry we have to go. My nice friend here is already starving.”

Pagdadahilan ng lalaki. Dahil sa kagustuhan kong makaalis ay tumango nalang ako bilang pagsang-ayon.

Hinawakan ako nung lalaki sa bewang habang pasakay kami ng elevator. I saw Mr. Rossett clenched his fist. Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok sa sobrang pagka-buryo.
The guy pressed the first floor button. He noticed my grumpy face when he averted his gaze from me.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
tanong niya nang may bahid na pag-aalala.

”
Hindi ako okay. Magiging okay ka ba kung sasabihin kong friends tayo sa harap pa ng boss ko? Eh, di nga kita kilala. Ugh! The audacity!”
Sigaw ko sa kanya.

Mukhang natuwa pa siyang galit ako. Halos umusok na yung ilong ko at gusto ko na siyang sabunutan sa sobrang inis. Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang ilapit ang mukha niya sakin.

”

Relax, by the way, I’m Derreck Hawkins. Nice to meet you, Mr. Ateniano,”
He said while he was touching my right cheek.

I removed his hand that’s touching my face. Nakakahiya at may CCTV sa taas at nakikita kami ng operator. The elevator stopped on the 1st Floor kung nasaan ang pool. Binilisan ko ang bawat hakbang nang bigla akong may nabunggo na isang babae. Natapon ang juice na hawak niya sa floral dress na suot niya.

“OH GOD! LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO MY DRESS?!”
eskandalosang sigaw ng babaeng mukha namang pastillas sa sobrang puti.

Lumapit ako sa isang stall at humingi ng tissue at mabilis kong pinunasan yung natapong juice sa damit niya. Mabilis akong nakaramdam ng sakit nang bigla niya akong sampalin sa kanang pisngi.

“How dare you touch my boobs? Where are the guards here? There’s a fuckin’ pervert right in front of me!”
sigaw ng babaeng may matinis na boses.

Pinagtitinginan na kaming dalawa ng mga tao at parang maluluha na ako dahil sa kahihiyan. I knew that she’s a girl at di ko ba alam kung ano ang pumasok sa isip ko nung ginawa ko iyon. Pareho namang kaming babae ang puso at walang halo ng kamanyakan ang ginawa ko. Pakialam ko ba sa malaki niyang boobs.

Derreck put his arms on my shoulders and gently guided my chin up to his eyes. He’s giving me that don’t-worry-I-got-this look. He tapped my back before facing the girl in front of me.

“Valerie, please let this go. Babayaran ko nalang iyang dress mo. Magkano ba iyan? Bilhan pa kita ng sampu.”
pagmamayabang ni Derreck.

The girl smirked. She’s looking at the hand of Derreck that was on my right shoulder. I saw how she rolled her eyes and gave me a deadly stare.

“It’s not about the price of the dress, kaya ko namang bumili ng bago. Did you see how he touched me? He’s a rapist in disguise!”
Pambibintang nung ‘Valerie’ daw ang pangalan. Di pa siya nakuntento at akmang sasampalin ulit ako nang may pumigil sa kanyang kamay.

The guy behind me held the wrist of Valerie before it landed on my face.
Buti nalang talaga kundi lalagapak talaga yun sa pisngi ko. Dahan-dahan ako tumingin sa taong nagligtas sa akin at napabalikwas nung makita ito.

“Ms. Guevarra, your whole year will give you bad luck if you slap someone the day after your birthday.”
That voice came from Mr. Rossett.

Nagulat si Valerie nung makita si Mr. Rossett at dahan-dahang inalis ang kanyang palapulsuhan na hawak ng boss ko. I can see the sudden change on her face. I just wanted to laugh in my mind when I noticed that she blushed. Inayos niya ang pagkakasuot ng kanyang floral dress at nilagay ang hibla ng kanyang buhok sa kanyang tenga.

Hindi naman siya pinansin ni Mr. Rossett at inalis ang braso ni Derreck na kanina pa naka-angkla sa balikat ko. Mr. Rossett held my waist and walked me out from that scene. Alam kong galit siya dahil sa mabilis niyang paglalakad at paghinga. Nakarating kami sa likod ng resort at doon niya lang siya bumitiw sa pagkakahawak sa bewang ko. Disappointment, anger and annoyed, that’s what I saw on his hazel eyes.

“Bakit mo ako iniwan don sa taas?! At sumama ka pa talaga dun sa mokong na iyon!”
Galit niyang tanong sa ‘kin.

“Sorry sir, the whole situation made me feel like I needed to leave that place,”
I admitted.

“At bakit kay Derreck ka sumama? Pwede namang sa akin. Ako ang boss mo tapos iniwan mo ako dun! Di hamak na mas gwap—”
Hindi niya na natapos ang kanyang sasabihin nang mag-alboroto ang tiyan ko.

Di pa pala ako kumain ng almusal at alas-9 na nang umaga. Kanina pa siguro ako hinihintay nina Ezra sa cottage namin. Nasuka ko rin yung kinain ko kagabi dahil sa sobrang kalasingan.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t eat since last night?”
pag-alalang tanong ni Mr. Rossett habang nakatingin mga mata ko.

“Yes, sir. I think I need to go back to my friends. I bet my friends are all waiting for me.”
I tried to excuse myself.

“I need to talk to you regarding… office m-matters. How about we grab breakfast together?”
he politely asked me.

Hindi na ako natanggi dahil trabaho naman daw ang pag-uusapan at mukha namang importante. Niyaya ko siyang kumain sa mini-canteen ng resort pero di raw siya nakain sa mga ganon. Sumunod nalang ako sa kanya papuntang parking lot hanggang tumigil siya sa harap ng isang Red Ferrari. Parang gusto ko nalang tumakbo habang nakatalikod siya dahil nahihiya akong sumakay sa kotse niya. Binuksan niya ang pinto ng shotgun seat at bahagyang tumingin sa ‘kin.

“I don’t want to look like your driver, so sit beside me.”
He ordered in a flat tone.

Dahan-dahan akong pumasok sa loob at pinasadahan ng tingin ang kabuuan ng kanyang kotse. Kung magasgasan ko ito ay kulang ang dalawa kong atay na pambayad. Di ko napansin na kanina pa pala siya nakaupo sa driver’s seat habang nakatingin sa gawi ko nang nakangiti.

I’m used to seeing his frowned face, but he looks more handsome when he’s smiling. He had a light stumble on his chin, making him more manly.
Moreno ang kutis nito at matangkad. He’s the real definition of tall, dark and handsome. Bonus nalang ang pagiging successful businessman niya at such a young age. I did some research and I found out that he’s only 25.

“Done checking my car? Do you want to check the driver next? I don’t care about scratches.”
He teased, then winked at me. He gently pushed his body next to me as he reached for my seatbelt and locked it onto my seat.

 

Di lang pala siya manyakis, ubod din siya ng kayabangan. Ngumiti nalang ako nang pilit at sa bintana nalang ng sasakyan tumingin. Nagsimula din siyang magmaneho nung mapansin ayaw ko siyang kausap.

Nakarating kami sa isang Fine Dining Restaurant na malapit lang sa resort nina Zein. Hinatid kami ng waiter sa aming table na nasa bandang gitna. He’s the one who ordered for us. I sent a message to our squad’s groupchat to let them know where I’m at.

GC Name: Rainbow Squad
🌈💅

Me:

Guys, I turned on my location. Puntahan niyo ako kapag di pa ako nakabalik by 12 pm.

@zein-garcia:

Kanina pa kami nag-alala sayo Kyle. Akala namin kung napaano ka na.

@levi_sullivan:

Bet ko rin magpaano. Happy Gardening
@kyle.ateniano
. Mukhang need ko na ulit mag-edit ng bagong tarpaulin.

@ezra.g.carson:

Ghorl! I’ll check my phone thoroughly para masundan ka namin agad kapag wala ka pa dito by 12 pm. Don’t worry:)

Dumating na yung waiter bitbit yung food namin. Korean Restaurant ito kaya di na ako nagtaka nung nilapag ng waiter ang dalawang bowl ng ramen, seaweed salad, bibimbap at dalawang baso ng orange juice. Nagsimula akong kumain dahil gutom na talaga ako. Tapos na yata siyang kumain after 5 minutes dahil, nakatingin nalang siya sa direksyon ko. I’m sipping my ramen habang nakataas ang kilay na nakatingin sa kanya. The table was covered in a white long fabric. I felt his feet reaching my legs while bitting his lower lip. May pagnanasa ang kanyang mga titig kaya parang gusto kong tusukin yung mata niya ng chopsticks.

The pervert Terrence is back again.

M.W.R.A.Y-11

Dahan-dahan kong tinagilid ang aking pagkaka-upo upang maalis ang paa niyang kanina pa sumasagi sa binti ko. I’m only wearing a peach summer shorts and naka-stitch din akong t-shirt. He noticed how I changed my position kaya magkasalubong na naman ang kilay niya habang nakatitig sa ‘kin.

“How do you feel working with our company, Kyle?”
He whispered.

I’m done with my food kaya kumuha ako ng tissue sa gilid ng table at pinunas iyon sa aking bibig. This is the first time that he called me by my first name, which made me shrug. He just said it casually, like he’s used to calling me like that. 

”

It’s my first time working for a huge and successful company, so I’m very thankful for the opportunity you gave me.”
I answered in a soft voice.

“I remember how disrespectful you were when you left me hanging in my office after you answered my question.”
He said those words as if I was being accused of being the sinnest person ever.

 

Nabilaukan ako nung naalala ko yung pambabara ko sa kanya nung gabing iyon. I haven’t apologized to him yet for being rude. Well, I didn’t know he would pass my application.

“I know it’s late, but better than never. Mr. Rossett, I want to apologize for my rude behavior last week.”
I gently bowed my head, which made some of the strands of my ash gray hair fall down and cover my eyes.

I was shocked when he put the strands of my hair that were covering my eyes beside my ear. He literally stood up and bowed down a bit so he could reach me. I noticed that he’s been gentle and sweet these past few days. He always asks the company’s nutritionist to bring our food during lunch to his office. Ayaw niya talaga akong palapitin kay Carlos simula nung nakita niya yung nangyare sa pantry.

“You look cute when you’re shy.”
He sounded cuter when he said that.

 

Maya-maya pa ay lumabas na kami ng restaurant pagkatapos niyang bayaran ang pagkain. As expected, he guided me and opened the shotgun seat. I immediately fastened my seatbelt as he walked towards the driver’s seat. After a few minutes, we’re now here at Garcia Private Resort.

Bumaba na ako at nagpaalam sa kanya. Mukhang may balak pa siyang sabihin pero di ko na siya nagawang pakinggan.

“How was it ghorl? Did someone pop your cherry already?”
Mapang-asar na tanong ni Levi nung makabalik ako sa resort at dumiretso sa aming cottage.

“Bakla ka, hindi no! Kasama ko lang yung boss ko.”
I sounded so guilty when I said that.

“Update mo kami pag meron na. Bigyan kita ng tips para mas mabaliw sa ‘yo.”
Levi said it flirtily, and he also winked at me.

Kinilabutan ako dahil alam ko na kung anong tips ang ibibigay niya. Marami ng naging karelasyon si Levi kaya siya ang madalas lapitan ng buong squad kapag usapang pag-ibig.

Mag-aalas-8 na ng gabi nung napag-desisyunan naming bumalik sa kuwarto para makapag-empake na ng gamit. Nasulit ko naman ang halos dalawang araw kong pananatili dito sa resort nina Zein. Susunduin daw kami ni Adrian na assistant ni Ezra pagsapit ng alas-9.

Nang mag-text si Adrian kay Ezra ay bumaba na rin kami papunta sa parking lot. Hinatid din kami ni Zein kasama ang ilang security guard habang bitbit ang mga bag at maliit na maleta namin. In front of us is a Toyota Black tinted van at iniluwal nun si Adrian nung bumaba siya ng driver’s seat. Adrian can also pass as a model. He was good looking and had a nice body figure.

Nakaupo ako sa backseat habang katabi si Levi na mahimbing ang tulog at naka-sandal sa balikat ko. Si Ezra naman ay katabi ni Adrian sa harap. Adrian was a smooth driver at ramdam kong ingat na ingat siya sa pagmamaneho dahil baka magising si Levi. Inuna na naming ihatid si Levi sa condo niya at nadismaya nung makitang naghihintay yung lalaking kasama ni Levi kaninang umaga sa labas ng condo niya.

“Hi! I’m Tom, future boyfriend ni Levi. Nice to see you all!”
pagpapakilala niya sa amin nung makababa si Levi sa van.

“Wag kayong maniwala dyan. Akin na nga iyang gamit ko! Bye, ghorls! See you when I see you.”
paalam sa ‘min ni Levi habang inaagaw kay Tom ang mga gamit niya. Hinintay muna namin silang makapasok sa loob ng condominium bago kami umalis.

Ilang minuto ang nakalipas at nakarating na ako sa tapat ng bahay namin. Alas-11 na ng gabi kaya di na ganoon ka-traffic. Nagpaalam ako kina Ezra at Adrian bago pumasok ng bahay. Nagulat ako nang makita si dad na gising pa at umiinom ng kape sa lamesa.

“It’s almost 12 in the morning, may pasok ka pa bukas. Bakit ngayon ka lang?”
Malamig na tanong ni Dad.

“Sorry, dad. Late na po kasi yung sumundo sa amin. Matutulog na po ako.”
Sagot ko at mabilis na nag-mano bago umakyat sa kwarto.

I just did my skin care night routine, brushed my teeth, and changed my clothes into my Stitch Pajamas.

Kinabukasan ay hindi naman ako nahuli sa trabaho. Nagulantang ako nang makita si Mr. Rossett na natutulog sa sofa nung makapasok ako sa opisina niya. He’s only wearing his red Calvin Klein boxers. His bulge really fits his boxers since he’s having a morning wood. Tayong-tayo ang kung ano mang nasa loob ng boxers niya at parang gusto nitong makawala.

Minus points na naman ako nito

.

I just turned my sight on his perfect toned chest and shoulders. Nakataas ang isa niyang kamay at ang kanyang palad ang ginawa niyang unan. His 6-pack abs are still well built kahit na alam kong busy ito sa pagma-manage ng buong kompanya. Malalim ang kanyang paghinga at mukhang meron itong napapaniginipan. He was murmuring something, so I bowed a bit near his lips to hear what he was saying. 

“Ugh! Kyle! Let my cock fill your ass, hmmm…

”
He uttered it hoasely while sweating.

Mabilis kong tinakpan ang aking mukha gamit ang dalawa kong kamay nung bigla niyang hawakan ang naka-umbok sa boxers niya.

I was about to turn my back on him when he suddenly grabbed my hand and put it on his bulge. I’m not sure if he was still sleeping when he did that. I bit my lower lip to resist the urge to make any noise.

“Ugh! Kyle, touch me. I can’t touch you without your consent, but you can with me, ummm… ”

His deep voice made me feel shivers all over my body.

I followed his command and started to move my hands over his bulge. The tip of his semi-erect cock is now making an entrance into the hole of his boxers. My touch made his member grow much bigger and harder. I started to hold his cock using my hand, but it didn’t fit on my hand. It’s thick and long. The tip of his cap is a pale pink. 

 

“Ugh! Fuck! Kyle, make me cum please. ”
He said those words while his eyes were closed. He must be having a wet dream.

I stroked his shaft up and downwards faster. I can feel that he’s almost at his peak when he’s making soft curses. I did my best to stroke it as fast as I could, even though my hand was trembling. A loud groan enveloped his office after he released his juices all over my hand. I quickly grabbed a tissue beside the sofa and cleaned my hand that was now sticky because of his warm load.

Mabilis akong lumabas ng office niya at bumaba sa 49th floor para doon gumamit ng banyo. Nakaharap ako sa malaking glass mirror sa men’s comfort room at madiin kong hinugasan ang aking kanang palad.

Una ang bibig ko, ngayon naman ay ang palad ko.

Kinakabahan na ako kung meron pang kasunod. Mas lalo pa akong na-stress, dahil hindi ko ito ginawa sa iisang tao. Posibleng si Derreck yung kasama ko nung gabing ‘yon. Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok habang iniisip ang mga nangyari. Pakiramdam ko’y nahawa na ako kay Levi sa tagal na naming magkasama.

Pagkatapos kong maghugas ng kamay ay bumalik ako ng office ni Mr. Rossett. Pagbukas ng sliding door ay nakasuot na ito ng gray longsleeves, black na slacks at pares ng versace leather shoes.

”
You’re seven minutes and forty seconds late, Mr. Ateniano! The next time it happens again, you’re fired!”

Mr. Rossett bellowed, which made me shocked.

”
I’m not late, sir. Actually, I’m ten minutes early before my shift. I just g-grabbed my breakfast at the pantry.

”
nauutal kong sagot.

As usual, hinatid ni Chef Mildred ang lunch namin. May dala siyang Vegetable Salad with a small cuts of pork ang para kay Mr. Rossett. Habang inabot niya naman sa akin ang isang plato ng Beef Italian Steak na may lettuce sa gilid. Nasa gitna ang glass table sa office ni Mr. Rossett at dito kami kumakain tuwing tanghali.

Hawak na ni Mr. Rossett ang plato ko nang bumalik ako sa katinuan. Lumabas na ng office si Chef Mildred nung mapatingin ako sa paligid. He was slicing my steak into small pieces, and he gave it to me afterwards. I thanked him and finished our lunch quietly.

Sinabi ko sa kanya ang schedule niya sa araw na ito. May tatlong meeting siyang kailangan puntahan kaya mabilis ang kanyang mga kilos. We left the Rossett’s Holdings Corporation and drove all the way to the first company where the meeting would be held.

Alas-5 na ng hapon nang nakapag-park si Mr. Rossett sa harap ng Hawkins Marketing Institution. Nakangiti ako habang pababa ng sasakyan ni Mr. Rossett. Dito kasi nagtatrabaho si daddy at isa din siyang sekretarya ng may-ari.

“Magiging proud kaya sa ‘kin si daddy kapag nalaman niyang sekretarya na rin ako ng isang bigating kompanya?”

Iyan ang tanong sa aking utak habang tinutungo namin ni Mr. Rossett ang lobby.

Nilakbay namin ni Mr. Rossett ang unang palapag. Napayukom ang aking kamao nung makita ang pamilyar na lalaki na pumasok sa loob ng elevator. Nakangisi ito sa akin at biglang kumunot ang noo nung makita niya si Mr. Rossett sa tabi ko. He positioned himself on my left side while Mr. Rossett was on my right. Tatlo lang kaming tao sa loob ng elevator at napapagitnaan nila akong dalawa.

“I didn’t expect to see you this soon, Mr. Ateniano. I thought I might even need to use my connections just to see you.”
Derreck whispered in my right ear.

M.W.R.A.Y-13

A lot of questions were running through my mind when he said that. Bakit naman niya ako hahanapin? Hindi pa rin ba siya makalimot sa nangyari?

“That was a mindblowing experience, babe.”
Iyan ang huli kong matandaan na sinabi nung lalaking amoy Jo Malone bago ako makatulog nung gabing iyon.

Speaking of Jo Malone perfume, nilapit ko ang ilong ko sa dibdib ni Derreck at inamoy iyom. He smells like strong booze of whiskey. Hindi ko gusto ang amoy. Based on what I can remember, the guy last Saturday night had a woody scent.

“You can sniff on me later as much as you want; we’re almost on the 10th floor,”
Derreck smirked.

Padabog na lumabas si Mr. Rossett ng elevator nang tumigil ito. Wala akong magawa kundi ang tumakbo para mahabol siya. Dali-dali ko naman siyang sinundan pero hindi ko pa rin siya mahabol sa sobrang laki ng mga hakbang niya. Tumigil siya sa harap ng Conference Room at pumasok sa loob. Pumasok na rin ako at marahang umupo sa tabi niya. Halos puno na ang mga upuan at parang kami nalang ang hinihintay bago simulan ang meeting.

Merong isang mahabang glass na table at may mahigit 20 na swivel chairs. Nakaupo kami ni Mr. Rossett sa bandang dulo habang nakaharap sa malaking monitor na may mga graphic lines. I guess that’s the estimated amount of profits ng bawat kumpanya dito sa Makati. Maya-maya pa ay pumasok ng Conference Room si Derreck kasama ang isang matandang lalaki. Napangiti ako nung makita si dad.

“Good evening, everyone! I’m Mr. Phillip Hawkins III, and I’m the founder of Hawkins Marketing Institution.

I would like to introduce my son right here, Derreck Hawkins, and he will be the one to discuss our agenda for tonight.”
Mr. Hawkins III proudly said while tapping his son’s shoulder. 

I knew that Derreck must have come from a wealthy family from his style of clothing and posture, but I didn’t know that his family owns one of the most successful institutions in our country. Kaagad na nagpakilala si Derreck bago simulan ang meeting. He mentioned each and every company’s profits, strengths, and future plans. 

Base sa pagkakaintindi ko ay may malaking proyekto na pinaghahandaan ang bawat may-ari ng mga kompanyang dumalo sa meeting, at ito ay ang mapapayag si Mr. Allen Zamora na mag-invest na kanilang kompanya.

Isang mayamang negosyante si Mr. Allen Zamora and he just came back in the Philippines kaninang umaga galing sa Europe. Marami itong koneksyon sa buong mundo sa larangan ng business magmula sa properties, airports, malls at mga private islands. Kasalukuyan itong naka-check in sa isang kilalang hotel sa Puerto Princesa, Palawan at isang buwan lamang itong magtatagal sa Pilipinas, dahil aalis ulit ito papuntang South Korea.

Daddy sent me a message asking me to just go home alone dahil mag-o-overtime daw siya dito sa kompanya ng mga Hawkins. Bumaba kami ni Mr. Rossett gamit ang elevator habang hawak ko ang laptop na dala ko simula kanina. Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng paglalakad papuntang parking lot nang biglang bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Hinubad niya ang kanyang Black suit at tinakpan niya ang ulo ko para di mabasa ng ulan. I just used his coat to cover my laptop. Naka-gray lang siya ngayong Long sleeves at black na slacks. Nakarating din kami sa tapat ng kanyang Ferrari Red car. I handed him the laptop that was provided by the company and also his black suit.

“Sir, mauna na po kayo. Sasabay nalang pa ako kay Dad. Sekretarya po siya ni Mr. Hawkins III.”
Nakakahiya naman kasi kung sasabay pa ako sa kanya dahil sobrang basa na ako ng ulan.

”

I know that’s your dad, and I’m also aware that they are planning to work overtime tonight

, k-k

aya sumabay ka na sa ‘kin,”
nanginginig na sabi ni Mr. Rossett.

Hindi niya na ako pinagsalita at marahang inalalayan papasok ng kanyang kotse. Nasa shotgun seat ulit ako nang magsimula siyang mag-drive. Napansin kong nanginginig siya sa lamig kaya ako na ang nagpatigil ng aircon nang walang pasabi.

“Pwede bang tumigil muna tayo sa bahay ko? Nilalamig na talaga ako, Kyle. Magpapalit lang ako ng damit…”
He asked me for a favor.

“Sure, sir. Don’t mind me. Kahit dyan mo nalang ako sa bus stop ibaba.”
pagtuturo ko.

“I won’t do that. Ihahatid kita sa inyo. I want to make sure you’re safe, Kyle.”
He assured me.

Maya-maya pa ay huminto kami sa isang two-storey house. He parked his car in the free parking space beside his door. It was a huge lot and the neighbors’ houses were not close to him. 

Pinapasok naman ako ni Mr. Rossett sa loob ng bahay niya. The first floor contains the living room, dining, kitchen, one toilet and a bedroom. As what I expected, very manly yung interior ng bahay niya. Puro black, brown and white lang yung nakikita ko.

Lagyan ko kaya ‘to ng pink? Magagalit kaya siya sa ‘kin?

Lumabas siya ng bedroom at naka-black pajamas na siya. May hawak siyang blue stitch set of pajamas at inabot ito sa akin. Tinitigan ko lang ito dahil di ko alam kung ano ang nais niyang iparating.

“You can just use the toilet beside the kitchen to change your clothes.”
He said with his bedroom voice. Antok na ito at mukha siyang matamlay.

“Uuwi nalang po ako, sir. Nag-aalala na po yata sa ‘kin si mommy dahil late na rin ng gabi.”
Pagdadahilan ko.

”

Don’t worry, I just called Mr. Hawkins a few minutes ago to inform your dad that you will sleep here tonight,”

he said while gently scratching his runny nose.”

 

Hindi na ako nagpumilit na umuwi at kinuha at sinunod nalang ang gusto niya. Nakakatuwang kasyang-kasya sa akin ang pajamas na pinahiram niya, not to mention that stitch is my favorite cartoon character. Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay naabutan ko siyang tulog sa kanyang black sofa. Hindi naman nakabukas ang aircon pero nilalamig siya.

Kaagad akong pumunta sa kitchen niya at binuksan ang refrigerator. I didn’t expect to see full stock of groceries, dahil mukha namang hindi siya nagluluto. Wala rin siyang kasama dito sa bahay niya kaya nag-alala ako kung sino ang nag-aasikaso sa kanya kapag may sakit siya kagaya ngayon.

I grabbed 1 whole chicken and cut it into half, carrots, celery, onion, bayleaf at kumuha ako ng 1/2 cup of rice sa dispenser niya. I will cook simple chicken soup for him. Kapag kasi nagkakasakit ang mga kapatid ko ay tinutulungan ko si mom na magluto kaya alam ko kung paano ito gawin.

Umuulan pa din sa labas kaya pumasok ako sa kwarto niya para kumuha ng kumot, dahil nasa sofa na siya nakatulog. Nagulat ako nang makita ang isang family picture sa table malapit sa kama niya. It’s a picture of him, Mr. and Mrs. Rossett and Carlos.

Magkapatid ba si Terrence at Carlos?

Acosta ang apelyido ni Carlos at hindi Rossett, kaya paano sila naging magkapatid? Iyan ang ilang tanong sa aking isip bago ako lumabas ng kuwarto ni Mr. Rossett.

Pagkalabas ko ng kuwarto ay madahan kong binalot ng kumot ang katawan ni Mr. Rossett. He looks so dominant kapag gising pero napakaamo ng kanyang mukha kapag tulog. Hinaplos ko ang kanyang noo at nagulat ako nang maramdamang mainit ito.

Lumakad ako papuntang kitchen para ipaghanda siya ng pagkain. Nilagay ko iyon sa dining table at nilapitan siya ulit para gisingin. I bow down a bit and check if he’s still breathing when he utters a word.

“Hey, what are you doing?”
bulong niya sa ‘kin. Malapit ang tenga ko sa bibig niya at ramdam ko ang mainit niyang paghinga kaya ako nagulat at napadagan sa kanya.

Hindi ko alam kung tatayo pa ba ako, dahil sa sobrang hiya. Yakap niya ang likod ko at nakapatong ang aking mukha sa kanyang matipunong dibdib. We’re both wearing pajamas pero ramdam ko ang umbok ng kanyang harapan na nakadikit sa aking hita.

“Do you think this position looks familiar, Mr. Ateniano?”
he asked flirtily.

Mas lalo niyang diniin ang pagkakayakap sa akin. Mariing nakakapit ang kanyang malalaking bisig sa aking balikat. At di pa nakuntento ang mokong nang bigla niya akong tinandayan.

I can feel his hard bulge poking my stomach. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I can feel his left hand touching my back. And now, his right hand is roughly squeezing my butt.
Hindi ko na gusto ang nangyayari kaya mabilis akong tumayo mula sa pagkakadagan sa kanya.

”

Mr. Rossett, I-I’m sorry. I just checked if you’re still breathing because you had a high fever.”
I admit it.

“Are you still scared of me? I’m trying my best to change for you, Kyle. Di mo ba napapansin?”
he asked me, disappointment was evident in his face.

“Mr. Rossett, I can’t understand what you’re saying. Mataas po ang lagnat niyo kaya siguro… di mo naiintindihan ang sinasabi mo.”

”

I’m really fine, Kyle. And please stop calling me Mr. Rossett. It’s making me pissed.”
He really sounded pissed when he said that.

 

“Malamang tatawagin kitang Mr. Rossett, dahil boss kita. Anong gusto mo, tawagin kitang ‘babe’?”
I teased him.

Akala ko’y mas magagalit si Mr. Rossett, pero nagulat ako nang makitang namangha pa siya sa sinabi ko.

“That’s it! That’s what I’m waiting for. I want you to call me ‘babe’. Mas gusto kong tawagin mo ako niyan matapos nung nangyare sa ‘tin.”
natutuwa niyang sabi.

“W-Wag mo sabihing g-gising ka nung araw na nakahiga ka sa sofa ng office mo?!”
hindi ko sinasadyang masabi ang tanong na nasa utak ko.

Nanlaki ang mata niya nung marinig ang sinigaw ko. Napatakip pa siya ng kanyang bibig at parang di makapaniwala sa kanyang narinig.

For pete sake!

Baka mali ako ng akala!

Baka di iyon ang tinutukoy niya.

”

So, I’m not having a wet dream that morning, huh? That’s better. But, I’m referring to what happened at Garcia’s Resort.”
He confessed.

Tama ba ang narinig ko? Si Mr. Biggie at si Mr. Rossett ay iisa? Paano nangyari iyon? Bakit hindi ko man lang napansing parehas sila ng amoy ng lalaking hinahanap ko?

“K-Kung ikaw nga si Mr. Biggie, b-bakit nasa kuwarto mo si Derreck nung linggo ng umaga?”
I curiously asked.

”

We just had a quick business meeting that morning. Wait, did you just call me “Mr. Biggie”? Well, my raging dragon must be big for you, babe,”

He blatantly said.

 

“Feelingero! Eh, di ko na nga maalala yung itsura ng raging dragon mo sa sobrang liit.”
parang gusto ko ng kainin ng lupa sa mga pinagsasabi ko.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang bigla niyang hinubad ang kanyang pajama pants. He’s still wearing his pajama polo shirt and his Calvin Klein white boxers. The shape of his huge bulge looks stiffed on his boxers. Malaki iyon at parang gusto na nitong kumawala. Napansin ni Mr. Rossett ang mata kong doon nakatingin at akma niya na itong huhubarin nang bigla akong sumigaw.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Mommy, kunin mo na ako dito!”
nakapikit na ako habang sumisigaw at nanghihingi ng tulong. For sure, walang nakakarinig sa amin sa lakas ng ulan at sound-proof din ang kanyang buong bahay.

”

Babe, don’t shout, please. Masakit sa tenga. Come on, open your eyes. I already put my pants on again. ”
He assured me, while gently wiping away my tears.

 

Dahan-dahan akong dumilat at kumalma nung makita siyang nakasuot na ng kanyang pang-ibaba. I sighed in relief. Sinabi ko sa kanyang nagluto na ako kaya kumain na kami. He’s really impressed with my cooking skills and he asked me if I can cook breakfast for him every morning. Wala naman akong choice kaya pumayag nalang ako.

Alas-12:30 na ng umaga at di pa rin ako nakakatulog. Nandito ako sa kuwarto at katabi ko siyang nakahiga. Uminom na rin siya ng gamot. Sabi niya ay hintayin ko muna siyang makatulog habang yakap niya ako ng mahigpit sa likod, dahil nilalamig daw siya.

”
Babe, tayo na ba? I mean, am I your boyfriend already?”
his husky voice broke the silence between us. Akala ko ay tulog na siya kaya nanginig ako nung bigla siyang magsalita.

“Anong tayo na? N-Nanligaw ka ba?”
Di ko alam kung saan ako kumukuha ng lakas ng loob simula kanina sa mga pinagsasabi ko.

“Do you want me to court you? I can do that. Pero, di pa ba tayo official sa dami na ng nagawa mo sa ‘kin? You took my innocence out of me.”
pambibintang niya sa ‘kin.

My lips parted in shock.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at inalis ang mga braso niyang kanina pa nakayakap sa akin. Hinampas ko ang dibdib niya sa sobrang inis.

“Wow! Ako pa talaga yung may kasalanan? Just for the record, yung nangyare sa Laguna, lasing ako nun. Ni hindi nga kita nakilala kaagad. While, yung nangyare sa office mo, ikaw yung nag-utos sa akin and since boss kita, I just follow what you ordered!”
I know my reasons are not valid pero di ko na alam kung paano ko ipagtatanggol ang sarili ko.

“Fine, wag ka na magalit. Since ayaw mo naman na maging tayo sa ngayon, pwede naman siguro akong manligaw ‘di ba? Get your ass ready, babe. I’m gonna make sure that you will be mine sooner or later.”
He proudly said.

Kinabukasan ay sabay kami ni Mr. Rossett na pumasok ng kompanya. Pinahiram niya rin ako ng sky blue na suit at pants na pinagliitan daw niya. He looked so happy when he saw me coming out of the bathroom wearing his clothes. Nagluto rin ako ng sweet & sour dish, fried rice and fresh lemon juice na nilagay ko sa tupperware.

Kinakabahan akong pumasok ng building, dahil sa aking kanang kamay ay hawak ko ang lunch box na aking niluto habang hawak ni Mr. Rossett ang aking kabilang kamay. Wala siyang pakialam sa mga empleyadong nakatingin sa amin.

Napangiti ako nang pilit nung makita ko si Carlos na naghihintay bumaba ang elevator. Nagulat siya nang makita akong palapit habang hawak ng kanyang kapatid ang aking kamay.

“Hey bud, good morning!”
Terrence greeted Carlos. 

 

”

Your face looks sunny like the sun outside, bro.”
Carlos’s lips formed a smirk.

Nakapasok na kami ng elevator at napansin kong di na ulit sila nag-usap.
Kung hindi inamin sa ‘kin ni Mr. Rossett na magkapatid sila ni Carlos ay hindi ko ito paniniwalaan. Based on what Mr. Rossett explained this morning, he and Carlos are step-brothers.

Nakakalungkot isipin na isa palang anak sa labas si Mr. Terrence Axel Rossett. Anak siya ni Mr. Alexander sa isang katulong na hindi niya na nasilayan ang kanyang ina simula nung pinanganak siya. Carlos doesn’t want to take over his family’s business kaya hindi niya talaga gusto dito magtrabaho. Carlos graduated as a civil engineer two years ago. He’s applying for a small position just to gain experience. Meron itong sariling engineering company na siya rin ang maghahandle in the future. ‘Acosta’ ang apelyido ni Mrs. Rossett bago ito mag-asawa at ito ang ginamit ni Carlos para hindi siya bigyan ng special treatment sa kanilang sariling kompanya.

Lumipas ang isang linggo at mas naging busy ang buong kompanya. Ang Legal, Finance at Operation Management ay nagtutulong-tulong para sa pagpa-plano kung paano namin mapapapayag si Mr. Allen Zamora na mag-invest sa aming kompanya. Gaya ng napagkasunduan ay ako na ang nagluluto ng breakfast namin ni Mr. Rossett bago ako pumasok ng kompanya. Hindi na rin nagpapaluto ng lunch si Mr. Rossett kay Chef Mildred, dahil lagi niya akong niyayang kumain sa labas. He’s always taking me home every night pero di siya pumapasok sa bahay namin. I know that he’s taking his time to gain courage to finally introduce himself to my family.

Huwebes ng gabi ay nagpaalam ako kila Mom, dahil kailangan naming pumunta ng Baguio ni Mr. Rossett. He said that Mr. Allen Zamora is fond of collecting rare items especially antique gems. Nakasakay ako ngayon sa shotgun seat ng kanyang sasakyan. Nagdala din ako ng maliit na bag na may lamang ilang gamit, dahil di ko alam kung ilang araw kami magtatagal.

He’s wearing a white polo shirt and maong shorts. He looked so hot when he was driving. Those veins from his arms while showing his manoeuvre skills are making this trip so worthwhile.

Madaling araw na nung makarating kami sa Baguio City at nag-check in kami sa isang hotel. He booked one room for the both of us. It’s a deluxe room pero isa lang ang bed. It was soundproofed and it’s equipped with comforts such as Smart TV, room cleaning touch system, private hydromassage bathtub, very cosy rin ang veranda.

Ilang minuto na pala akong tulala habang pinagmamasdan ang buong room nang bigla akong yakapin ni Terrence mula sa aking likuran. He just came out fresh from the shower and he’s only wearing a white bathrobe.

“Pagod ka tapos naligo ka? Mapapasma ka talaga.”
I told him.

”

I’m not tired yet, babe. We can even have three rounds before we sleep, hmmm… ”
He whispered in my left ear. Nakapatong na ngayon ang kanyang baba sa aking kaliwang balikat.

“Matulog ka na, maghihilamos lang ako. Wag ngayon please, pagod ako.”
pakiusap ko sa kanya.

“So, pwede nating… gawin ‘yon kapag di ka na pagod?”
He excitedly asked while waiting for me to agree.

 

“Ewan ko sa ‘yo!”
Inalis ko ang kanyang pagkakayakap at kinuha ang maliit kong bag bago pumasok ng comfort room para maghilamos at magpalit ng damit.

Maalinsangan ang sikat ng araw nung magising ako. Wala na si Terrence sa tabi ko pero may iniwan siyang maliit na sticky note sa taas ng side table.

“
Meet me at the ground floor, babe. I love you.

”

Mabilis akong naligo at nagpalit ng damit. I’m now wearing an oversized white shirt and I tucked it in to my short black pants. Nakasuot naman ako ng black na flip flop for my feet.
Pagbaba ko ng ground floor, I saw him wearing a Ralph Lauren red polo shirt. He’s also wearing shades, tailored black shorts and leather slippers.

Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang lumapit sa ‘kin at binigay ang isang Lilo Stitch na bouquet na kanina niya pa yata tinatago sa likod niya.

“Good morning, babe. I waited here for so long, but I know it’s worth it if you’re the one for whom I’m waiting.”

He kissed my forehead after he said that.

 

“T-Thank you, Terrence. I appreciate it. How did you know I liked stitch?”
I asked him.

“Of course, I need to know that. Paano mo ako sasagutin kung di ko alam yung mga favorite mo?”
He proudly uttered.

Terrence guided me to a cafeteria nearby. He rented the whole cafe at kaming dalawa lang yung nakaupo sa gitnang table. Inabot ng waiter ang breakfast namin. Fruity pancakes, philly steak fillet at vanilla latte ang nasa table. Nilagay ko sa gilid ng upuan ang bouquet na binigay niya at nagsimulang kumain.

Pagkatapos kumain ay nagsimula na kaming pumunta sa Antique Shop na siyang dahilan ng Baguio Visit namin. He parked his Ferrari Red car sa isang open area. Pumasok kami sa isang wooden house. The structure and the condition of this house looks dilapidated. May isang matandang lalaki na nagbabantay sa loob. Isa pala itong Antique shop na di mo aakalain kung titingnan mo sa labas. Puro vases, clocks, watches and small rare items ang nasa dingding. Dumiretso si Terrence sa Vintage wooden cabinet na naglalaman ng mga rare gems and stones.

“Ano ang inyong sadya dito mga apo?”
tanong ng matanda sa amin.

“Napag-alaman po naming nandito sa inyong maliit sa boutique ang isang Red Beryl Gem Stone…”
magalang na sabi ni Terrence.

“Naku, apo. Hindi niyo na naabutan at nabili na ng isa ring binata na kaaalis lang,”
bakas ang lungkot ng matanda.

“Ayos lang po, maraming salamat po.”
Terrence sincerely bid him goodbye.

Terrence looks disappointed while driving his car. That Red Beryl Gem Stone is one of the rarest gem stones in the world, at nais niya iyong bilhin para ibigay kay Mr. Allen Zamora sa kahit anong halaga. I kissed his cheek to stop him frowning and I’m glad it worked. Hindi siya makatingin sa akin dahil abala siya sa pagda-drive pero pansin ko ang pagmula ng kanyang mukha.

We stopped in front of Burnham Park Lake and he immediately unfastened his seatbelt and kissed my lips roughly. I was so shocked that I couldn’t even move from my seat. He used both of his hands to touch my cheeks to deepen the kiss. I gripped the collar of his polo shirt and gently pushed him away from me. I’m trying to catch my breath while looking at him. 

I need to say it now, and I’m so sure of it. I’m willing to take the risk and just follow my heart that’s beating so fast when I’m with him. I don’t care where it leads us, I just want to share my future with him.

“Sinasagot na kita…babe,”

Burnham lake is one of the tourist spot here in Baguio. Maraming turista at mga ilang dumayo pa sa iba’t-ibang parte ng pilipinas at ibang bansa just to be here. It was a man-made lake, maraming puno sa paligid ng lawa, may rose garden at mga kayak na pwedeng sakyan sa gitna nito.

Hawak ang aking kamay ay inalalayan ako ni Terrence para makaupo sa nirentahan naming kayak. I’m the one in front while he’s on my back. Parehas kaming may hawak na malaking sagwan nang sinimulan naming tawirin ang gitna ng lawa. It was such an amazing experience. Hindi naman kasi kami mahilig bumisita sa ganitong lugar. My dad is always busy at si mom ay nasa bahay lang madalas para asikasuhin kaming magkakapatid. Narating namin ang isang rose garden sa dulo ng lawa. Nakasabit sa leeg ni Terrence ang isang Fujifilm camera at kinukuhan niya ako ng litrato habang nakatalikod.

We made a lot of memories that day at parang ayoko na iyong matapos. I just want to stay there if possible. Terrence made me feel like I’m the most precious human alive. Nagpicnic kami sa gitna ng rose garden.

“Kung may pupuntahan kang bansa, saan mo gusto pumunta, babe?”
He asked while looking at my eyes.

“Siguro sa France. I want to see the Eiffel Tower so bad kasama yung taong gusto kong makasama habambuhay…”
I confessed while looking at the sky.

“Gusto mo pumunta na tayo ngayon? Pagkatapos nitong project na ‘to, mapapayag man natin o hindi si Mr. Zamora, I want to go there with you.”
he promised me.

“Sigurado ka na ba talaga sa ‘kin? I mean, I know you’re straight. You dated a lot of girls and mostly models yung gusto mo.”
I’ve done my research about him before, kaya may alam ako sa mga past relationships niya.

“If loving you will makes me gay, then I’m willing to be one for you.”
He’s so proud when he said that.

We stayed in Baguio for 3 days at pauwi na kami papuntang Makati. He really changed for me. Hindi na siya ganun ka-moody and his face looks brighter than before. His right hand is holding mine while the other is holding the drive wheel of his car.

Tanghali na ng makarating kami sa Rossett’s Holdings Corporation. Nagpatawag agad si Terrence ng meeting sa iba’t-ibang department ng kompanya para magplano kung paano namin mapapapayag si Mr. Zamora na mag-invest.

The following weeks became much stressful nang dumating si Mrs. Madalane Rossett sa kompanya. This is my first time seeing her in person and her face looks matured. She empowers authority based on her aura. Nasa loob ako ng office ni Mr. Terrence Rossett ng pumasok siya. She hugged Terrence and raised her left brow at me.

“Hey, I want an iced coffee now.”
she ordered me.

“Mom, let me. I also want to speak with Chief Mildred about something. Kyle, just stay here.”
He’s asking me not to follow her step-mom’s request.

Naiwan ako sa office niya kasama si Mrs. Rossett. Tahimik ang buong paligid at nakayuko lang akong nakaupo sa lamesa ko. Nagawa ko na ang dapat kong gawin dahil malapit nang matapos ang shift ko. It’s almost six in the evening when I took a glance at my wristwatch.

“So, how was your relationship with my step-son?”
her authoritative voice broke the silence between us.

Nabigla ako sa sinabi niya dahil hindi naman nabanggit ni Terrence na alam ni Mrs. Rossett ang relasyon namin. He rarely share things about his family, pero alam kong over-protective si Mrs. Rossett sa kanilang magkapatid lalo na sa tunay na anak nitong si Carlos.

“U-Uhm… we’re good, Mrs. Rossett.”
my words are stuttering.

“You can just call me, tita. I heard a lot of things about you. Lagi kang kinikwento sa ‘kin ni Terrence.”
she’s now smiling bitterly.

“T-Talaga po? Sana po magagandang bagay ang kinikwento niya sa inyo tungkol sa akin,”
curiousity hits me.

“Of course! My step-son is now badly in love with you. I couldn’t believe na makikipag-relasyon siya sa isang-”
hindi niya na natapos ang kanyang sasabihin nang pumasok si Terrence sa loob ng office.

“Mom, Kyle’s shift is over. Iuuwi ko na po siya.”
nag-alalang sabi ni Terrence kay Mrs. Rossett.

Nagpaalam na kami at bumaba ng parking lot. I’m sitting beside him while he’s riding his Ferrari Red car. Kunot ang kanyang noo at mabilis ang kanyang pagpapatakbo kaya mariin akong nakakapit sa seatbelt ko. Wala pang sampung minuto ay nakarating na kami sa tapat ng bahay ko. Hindi ko magawang bumaba, dahil alam kong may gusto siyang sabihin sa ‘kin.
I was about to open his car when he held my hand. I looked at his face and saw his eyes trying to keep his tears from falling.

”
Hey, babe. What’s wrong?”
I asked him. I’m starting to get worried because this is the first time I’ve seen him like this.

“Babe, did she say something to you?”
He asked me while waiting for my answer.

“She said that… she’s happy with our relationship.”
I assured him.

Niyakap niya ako nang mahigpit. Halos hindi ako makahinga sa higpit ng kanyang yakap. I’m tapping his back trying calm him down and I’m glad it worked. Naging mahinahon ang kanyang paghinga and he kissed my lips gently. I hugged his nape to deepen his kiss.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang bigla niyang tinanggal ang seatbeat ko. He guided me to the passenger seat. He made me lie on the passenger seat before he started unbuttoning his black long sleeves. He threw his long sleeves somewhere and it revealed his perfect toned chest and abs. His kisses are now rougher than earlier. From my lips, he’s now down to my neck. He’s biting it and kissing my neck like an addict. His hands were now starting to unbutton my sky blue long sleeves when we heard a knock on his car from outside.

Dali-dali ko siyang tinulak palayo sa akin nung makita ko kung sino ang kumakatok sa labas ng kotse…

It was dad.

Terrence, picked up his long sleeves and quickly wear it again. Huminga siya nang malalim bago bumalik sa driver’s seat at doon binuksan ang pintuan. He turned outside and open the door of the passenger seat for me. My dad’s expression couldn’t believe what he’s seeing.

Wala nang nagawa si Terrence kundi sumunod sa amin ni dad papasok ng bahay. Hindi gaanong malaki ang bahay namin kumpara sa bahay ni Terrence. It’s a 2 Storey house which has an elevated terrace. It has a wooden door and glass windows, black steel railings and separate shed roof.

Pagpasok ng bahay ay nakita ko kaagad si Mom na nagluluto ng dinner sa kitchen, habang ang dalawang kong kapatid na sina Renz at Steven ay nagawa ng assignment. Tumigil si Mom sa pagluluto nang marinig ang aming hakbang pagpasok ng sala.

“Good evening po, Mrs. Ateniano”
lumapit si Terrence kay Mom at nagmano.

“Magandang gabi iho, kumain ka na ba? Nagluluto ako ng dinner, baka gusto mong sumabay?”
My Mom asked while guiding him in the dining room.

“Kumain na po ako sa kots-”
hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin niya nung bigla ko siyang kinurot sa tagiliran.

“Hindi pa po siya kumain, Mom. He’s Terrence Axel Rossett. Boss ko po sa Rossett’s Holdings Corporation.”
pagpapakilala ko kay Terrence.

“I know. You stayed in his house before, right?”
my Mom is giggling when she said that.

Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo ng dalawang kong kapatid. This is the first time that I brought a man with me. Syempre exempted sila Ezra, Levi at Zein dahil pare-parehas kaming lalaki din ang gusto.

Lumapit si Terrence kina Renz at Steven at nag-presenta na tulungan sila sa ginagawang assignments. Umupo si Dad sa dining table habang tinulungan ko naman si Mom sa pagluluto. We cooked adobong manok, omelette at hot steamed sausages.

Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain sa aming rectangular dining table nang biglang magsalita si Dad.

“How long have you been together?”
mariin niyang tanong.

Nasamid si Terrence habang kumakain, dahil sa biglaang tanong ni Dad. I gently pat his back at inabutan siya ng orange juice. Di niya inasahan ang tanong na iyon kaya ilang minuto ang lumipas bago siya sumagot.

“Mag-iisang buwan na po, sir”
he confessed.

“Wag mong lolokohin ang anak ko dahil hindi ka na makakatapak ng bahay ko kapag pinaiyak mo siya,”
Halos maiyak ako nung marinig ko iyon sa kanya. I’ve never felt the love of my Dad simula ng umamin ako na bakla ako. Alam kong di lang ako ang nagulat nung makita ko ang mukha ni Mom at ng dalawa kong binatang kapatid.

Tumango nalang si Terrence. I was kind of disappointed nung hindi siya sumagot sa pakiusap ni Dad. I’m hoping for something that I can hold on to. Assurance, iyon ang kailangan ko.

Balak pa siyang patulugin ni Mom sa kuwarto ko pero mas pinili nalang ni Terrence na umuwi dahil, maaga pa kami bukas. We’re going to Puerto Princesa to finally deal with Mr. Zamora. Bago ako matulog ay nag-empake muna ako ng gamit. I’m very excited and yet, I’m feeling a little nervous. Di ko alam kung bakit.
I’m busy doing my skin care routine nung biglang tumunog ang notification sa phone ko.

:
Good evening, Ghorls! Ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng hiya, pero lalakasan ko na ang loob ko…

@ezra.g.carson:

Ano yun beb
@levi_sullivan
? Go lang! Don’t be shy, kami lang ‘to.

@zein-garcia:

Hala bakit? anong nangyayare???

@levi_sullivan
:
Si Lavinia kasi, yung kapatid ko may sakit. She’s diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Napatakip ako ng aking bibig at pinipigilan ko ang aking luha nung nalaman ko ang masamang balita. This is the first time na nanghingi ng tulong sa amin si Levi dahil independent ito. Hangga’t maaari ay ayaw niyang sabihin ang mga problema niya sa amin. Levi is a photographer pero kumikita lamang siya kapag nabibili ang mga artworks niya sa mga exhibits. Lavinia is such a young girl. She’s only 5 years old. Si Levi ang breadwinner ng pamilya nila dahil hiwalay na ang parents niya at ang Mom niya ay caretaker sa Qatar nagtatrabaho.

l didn’t hesitate to open my phone’s camera and click the videocall icon. Nakita ko si Ezra na mukhang nasa kalagitnaan pa ng isang photoshoot dahil nakasuot ito ripped shirt at may make up sa mukha. Zein probably woke up from his sleep, dahil nakapang-tulog na ito. At si Levi na nakasandal sa dingding ng hospital’s corridor at mukhang wala pa itong tulog.

Sadyang traydor ang aking mga luha nang bigla itong tumulo ng makita ko si Levi. He looks so exhausted, maga ang kanyang mga mata at pinipilit na ngumiti ng makita kami.

Bakit ngayon niya lang sinabi sa amin?

Bakit ngayon lang siya humingi ng tulong?

Gaano katagal na siyang walang makakapitan?

“Beb, nasaan kang hospital? Sabihin mo dahil, iiwanan ko na itong photoshoot na ito!”
galit na tanong ni Ezra. He’s only worried and we know that.

“Wag niyo na akong puntahan. Baka di ko pa mabantayan ang kapatid ko at umiyak nalang ‘pag makita ko kayo,”
pilit ang kanyang ngiti nung sinabi niya iyon.

“Send us your bank account details, Levi. Tutulungan ka namin”
I assured him. May naipon na rin naman ako kahit papaano at wala naman akong pag-gagamitan.

“Laban lang, Levi. Nandito kami para sa ‘yo,”
Zein sincerely said.

Hindi ko alam kung tutuloy pa ba ako sa business trip namin. Alam kong mahalaga ang lakad namin ni Terrence dahil malapit na rin ang pag-alis ni Mr. Zamora papuntang South Korea. Pero mas mahalaga sa ‘kin si Levi. Ang kaibigan kong laging nandiyan kapag may umaapi sa amin.

Kailangan ako ng dalawang taong importante sa buhay ko and I badly need to choose between them.

.

I woke up at 5:00 am that morning. I’m lacking of sleep because I slept late last night. I tried to call Levi but, he’s not answering the call. I decided to go downstairs para makapagluto ng almusal. Walang tao sa baba dahil, tulog pa silang lahat.

Pagkatapos kong magluto ng almusal ay naligo na ako at nagbihis. I tucked a plain white Tshirt in and put a hazel brown Fleece Jacket into my high waisted black pants. I’m also wearing a black leather boots. Narinig ko na ang busina ng kotse ni Terrence kaya bumaba na ako bitbit ang isang malaking maleta.

“Kuya, mag-iingat ka dun ah? Pag inaway ka ng mokong na iyon, tawagan mo ako. Bugbugin namin yun ni Steven pagbalik niyo.”
Renz stated.

“Tatawagan ko talaga kayo kahit di ka magsabi, sandali lang ako dun. Babalik din ako agad.”
I assured him.

Dad put something in my suitcase and gave me a bright smile. I smiled back at him. I’m still not use with him being like this. He started to show me care and love, which I’m really craving for. Dad hugged me tight. While Mom is tapping my shoulders.

“I put something in your suitcase, protection is a must.”
he whispered.

“Don’t forget to use it well, anak. We will miss you!”
Mom started to cry.

Kumatok na si Terrence sa pinto ng bahay namin at pinagbuksan naman siya ni Steven. Pumasok siya sa loob at nagmano kila Mom at Dad. My younger brothers seemed to be distant from him.

“Mauna na po kami Tita and Tito. Don’t worry, iuuwi ko pong buo si Kyle.”
Terrence sounded so sure when he said that.

Nagulat ako nang makita ko si Carlos sa labas ng bahay namin at nakasandal sa kanyang Lexus Silver Car. I’m looking around to find the car of Terrence pero di ko ito makita.

“Wag mo ng hanapin, di na iyon babalik. Just kidding, ako pala maghahatid sa inyo ni kuya sa airport.”
Carlos proudly announced.

Sinulyapan ko si Terrence sa aking likuran na hawak ang maleta ko and he just nodded. Carlos opened the shotgun seat of his car while, Terrence came in front of me to open the passenger seat. Hindi ko alam kung saan nila ako gusto paupuin. Terrence raised both of his brows to give me a sign to follow him so, I did. Pumasok ako ng passenger seat at nilagay ni Terrence ang gamit ko sa compartment ng kotse ni Carlos bago umupo sa tabi ko.

Terrence is being extra clingy the whole ride. He keeps on hugging and holding my hand. It feels like he’s showing it off to Carlos. Ngumingisi nalang si Carlos habang nagda-drive. Matapos ang isang oras ay narito na kami sa airport. Naunang bumaba ng kotse si Carlos at sumunod si Terrence para ibaba ang mga gamit. A lot of people are looking at them especially girls who are at our age.

I admit, they are both good looking guys. They are tall, musculine at they stood up from the crowd. Terrence has this dark aura that will make you feel intimidated at first sight. He’s a serious type of guy while, Carlos is the counterpart. Carlos looks like a playboy based on his looks and personality. He’s much easy to deal with unlike, Terrence.

It took 2 hrs. for us to get off the plane. Hindi din kami nakatulog ni Terrence dahil, kakagising lang din namin bago kami bumiyahe papuntang Palawan. He booked a private room to one of the finest hotels here in Palawan where we will stay for a week.

The Private Luxuxy Room that he booked for us offers a master bedroom, an outdoor pool overlooking the entire Palawan. Guests can expect to receive a 24-hour butler service that will prepare our breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Nasa shower ngayon si Terrence at ako ay nag-aayos ng gamit. Nauna kong nilagay ang mga damit ni Terrence sa sliding closet sa tabi ng master’s bedroom bago ang akin.

“Babe, paabot ng damit ko!”
sigaw ni Terrence mula sa bathroom.

I grabbed a white Tshirt, short pants and a Calvin Klein boxers from the closet. I knocked the door of the bathroom multiple times but, he’s not responding. I gently open the doorknob and saw him nakedly wet when he went straight to me from the shower. I saw his familiar smirked face so, I just put his clothes at the top of the counter in front of the large mirror. Nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong hinawakan sa aking palapulsuhan at iniharap ang mukha ko sa kanya.

“Babe, I want you now. Please say you want me too…”
pakiusap niya.

Hindi kaagad ako nakasagot nang bigla niya akong hinalikan. He’s sucking my lower lip while waiting for my response. He squeezed my ass using his free hand and that made me open my mouth from the shock. His tongue made an entrance in my mouth. I feel like my lips got swollen due to excessive french kiss that he’s doing. Marahan ko siyang tinulak at tumakbo palabas ng bathroom pero nasundan niya pa rin ako papuntang master’s bedroom. I was just trying to tease him to see his reaction but, it made him feel angry.

He pushed me off the bed. He’s not wearing anything so, I can clearly see his length. It’s an 8 inches semi erect cock based on my estimation and I’m really scared that it might tear me inside. I can clearly see that he wants me now because, his cock looks so hard and thick. He crawled into the bed and hold my face. His eyes are worried and I know I’m acting like a child who’s afraid of injection right now but you can’t blame me. If I agree to him, this will serve as my first experience and I want to do it with someone whom I will share my life with.

“Babe, I’m sorry if I scared you. Magbibihis na ako…”

he smiled at me to give me an assurance that he’s fine.

“I have something in my bag, Dad gave you a present earlier. Could you please check if it’s still there?”
I asked him.

The anticipation from his face was evident when he reached for my suitcase. I witnessed how his eyes widened when he saw what’s inside of my suitcase. He took it out from the bag and he showed me a small box full of ultra-thin condoms.

“B-babe, is this the present you’re talking about?”
di makapaniwala niyang tanong.

I nodded.

“Take me where you want me to, babe.”
I replied.

.

He quickly get on top of me and kissed me torridly. I’m catching my breath between his kisses. I held his nape to deepen our kiss. His tongue entered my mouth savouring all of me. I did the same to him and his lips formed a smile with the sudden realization from what I did. He spread my legs and started to kiss my neck. He’s pushing his cock on my ass and I can feel it even I’m still wearing my short pants. He ripped my Tshirt effortlessly while sucking my neck.

“Babe, I’m scared.”
I told him while I’m gripping his hair.

“Don’t worry, Babe. You will feel pleasure soon…”
he bite my neck after saying those words.

His moves are so fast and I just found myself fully naked same as him. He looks amused seeing my bare body. He kissed my forehead, nose, lips, chin, neck and now he’s down to my chest. He rolled his tongue to my left nipple tasting every corner of it. He used his free hand to pinch my ass and just played with it.

I’m losing my patience so I pushed him off the bed. His face looks surprised when I started to get on top of him and kissed him roughly. Both of his hands are pinching my ass. I licked my lips and lower my body to face his member.

I licked the tip of his hard semi erect cock. I badly want to see him angry so, I’m taking my time. Using my both hands, I touched his cock and stroke it with up and down motion.

“Fuck, just fuckin’ suck it. Babe, please I’m begging you!”
I know he’s running out of patience on that moment.

I didn’t waste any more time and I start sucking his cock. Hindi pa yata ako nangangahati ay naduduwal na ako. I opened my mouth wider for his member to have more access inside. Nakatingala lang si Terrence habang ginagawa ko iyon. Mabilis ang kanyang paghinga at nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang bigla niya akong sabunutan para ibaon ang mukha ko. The feeling of being choked because of his cock made my tears to fall.

“Shit! I’m sorry, Babe. Di ko sinasady-”
  he wasn’t able to finish his words when I grabbed the box of condom and quickly open one sachet and tear it off using my teeth.

I unrolled the condom down to his hard member. I looked at him and he grabbed my face and kiss me.

“Turn around, Babe.”
he ordered.

Mabilis kong sinunod ang utos niya at dumapa sa kama. He kissed my ass and bite it before his member entered my hole behind.

“Fuck, Babe. Ang sikip mo!”
he shouted while starting to thrusts slowly.

“A-aahhh…Babe, masakit!”
nagsimula nang umagos ang luha sa aking mga mata

“Huh? Babe, it’s just half of my length inside your ass and you’re already crying…”
he’s now starting to get worried.

“Babe, p-please go on, fuck me hard until I feel pleasure.”
I looked at him behind and bite my lower lip.

He nodded. He started to give me hard thrusts. I feel so full inside. Mariin akong kumakapit sa bedsheet habang sinasalubong ang mga ulos ng kanyang galaw. Pawis na kaming dalawa. Nasanay na siguro ang aking katawan at hindi ko na ramdam ang sakit. Nakatuwad na ako at sinasalubong ang paghampas ng kanyang katawan sa akin.

“Fuck, babe. I’m almost there…”
he warned me.

Mas bumilis ang kanyang paggalaw at ang hampas ng aming katawan ang bumalot sa buong silid. He gave me few hard thrusts before I feel his warm load inside me. He gently pulled out his shaft from my ass and remove the condom that was filled with his cum.
Napahiga ako sa kama pagkatapos at ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang pagod. He kissed my back then sucked my neck leaving a mark on it.

“Babe, I love you…”
he said before he sleep beside me.

Madilim na ang labas ng magising ako. I’m surprised to see that I’m wearing a Stitch Pajama pants and shirt na nakita ko kaninang dala niya sa loob ng maleta niya. Bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga and I saw him talking on his phone sa Veranda kung nasaan ang pool.

“Mom, please stop this. Ayoko nang tapusin ‘to!”
he shouted.

He’s facing the pool, so he didn’t notice me going towards his direction. It’s already night and the stars over him makes me dreamy. Nang matapos ang tawag ay hinilot niya ang kanyang sintido. I’m not seeing his face but I know that he’s stressed. Lumapit ako sa kanya at niyakap siya sa bewang. I saw his shoulder jolt because of the sudden shock. Hinarap niya ako kanya and he kissed my temple. Siya na ngayon ang nakayakap sa bewang ko while he rested his chin on my shoulder.

“Mahal na mahal kita, Kyle. Hindi ko kakayanin kung mawala ka.”
I felt his tears on my shoulder.

Inalis ko ang kanyang pagkakayakap at humarap ako sa kanya. His hazel eyes looked miserable. I wiped his tears from his cheeks. He’s looking down so, I turned his face straight to face me.

“Bakit mo naman nasabi iyan? If you’re referring about earlier, it’s great. Hindi ako nasaktan promise. Hindi kita iiwan.”
I raised my left hand and gave him a promise sign.

“Ikaw nalang yung pamilyang meron ako. Ikaw nalang yung masasandalan ko.”
he confessed.

“Ako din. Ikaw yung isa sa dahilan kung bakit ako mas masaya.”
I assured him.

Hindi ko alam pero iba ko yung kutob ko nung mga oras na iyon. Hindi ko magawang itanong kung anong dahilan but I hoped he believe in me. I said that he makes me happy and that’s true. Andami ko ng problema pero isa siya sa dahilan kung bakit ako nananatiling malakas at patuloy na lumalaban.

Hindi ko na kaya ng wala siya…

M.W.R.A.Y-20

Ang tunog ng doorbell ang nagpagising sa akin mula sa pagkakatulog. It’s already 9 am in the morning when I checked the wallclock. Terrence and I had quick sex last night before we sleep kaya tulog pa ito sa tabi ko habang nakayakap sa aking bewang. Marahan kong inalis ang kanyang braso at naglakad papunta sa pinto ng living room.

I opened it and saw a butler with his Maroon uniform holding breakfast trolley. I saw how he licked his lower lip while looking at me. I just realized than I’m only wearing a silk bathrobe and my neck down to my shoulders are exposed. Mabilis kong inaayos ang pagkakasuot ng aking bathrobe at pinapasok siya sa loob.

He put our breakfast on the dining table and arranged the plating of every meal. I’m only staring at him while admiring how professional he looks while doing his job. Hindi ko na napansin na matagal na pala akong nakatingin sa kanya at kanina pa pala siya tapos sa pagse-serve.

“Do you need anything else, sir?”
he asked me.

“He only need me. You may now leave,”
sagot ni Terrence mula sa aking likuran.

I turned at him when he hold my waist while looking at the butler who served our breakfast. Tumango nalang ang butler at mabilis na lumabas ng room. Pagkalabas ng butler ay tuluyan niya na akong iniharap sa kanya.

“Babe, bakit mo naman pinapasok iyon nang ganito ang suot mo? You could’ve just wear something else, but not this.”
he said while pointing on how I dressed.

“Sorry, di na mauulit.”
I promised while pressing his chest with my index finger.

Matapos naming kumain ay naligo muna kami at nagbihis para hanapin si Mr. Zamora. Ang alam namin ay nandito rin sa hotel na ito siya nakacheck-in. We have no choice but to search for him since, it’s not allowed for any staffs to disclose private information especially for VIP members who are staying in this hotel.

Nagpasya kaming maligo nalang sa beach sa tapat ng hotel habang umaasang makita si Mr. Zamora. Terrence is only wearing a Blue Underwear Trunks and nothing on top. His perfectly toned chest and abs are exposed under the sun while, the girls who are wearing bikinis are looking at him hungrily. On the other hand, I’m wearing a 2 piece Blue Swimming Suit. It’s a terno fitted shirt and pants. We’re both wearing ‘blue’ and he’s holding my hand so, I guess I don’t need to worry about those girls who are looking at him.

Nasa malalim na kami na parte ng beach and we’re splashing water at each other nung mapansin ko ang isang bata na nalulunod sa bandang likod ni Terrence. Mabilis ko iyong nilangoy para sagipin ang bata. Mariin siyang kumapit sa braso ko nang malapitan ko siya. Mabilis niya akong niyakap nang mahigpit habang naghahabol ng hininga.

“You’re my savior,”
bulong niya sa aking tenga habang papalapit kami sa dalampasigan. I’m carrying the cute little girl I saved, while Terrence is supporting my back from behind.

Nang makarating kami sa mababang parte ng beach ay agad itong tumakbo palapit sa isang lalaki na naka-shades at Hawaiian swimming trunks. He’s topless too and it showcased his hard chest and perfect set of abs. I guess he’s atleast 6 ft. tall like Terrence. He bow down a bit to carry the little girl and pinched her cheek.

“Saan ka ba galing, Sabrina? Kanina pa kita hinahanap!”
galit na tanong ng lalaki na may pamilyar na boses.

“Kuya, those two guys saved me from drowning. I want to give them chocolates too.”
the little girl named Sabrina pointed out our direction.

The guy who’s holding Sabrina turned his face to us. He didn’t move for a few minutes before taking off his shades. Napaawang ang labi ko nang makita ang lalaking nasa harap ko.

“Kyle?! It’s been a long time. By the way, here’s my little sister. Her name is Sabrina,”
pagpapakilala ni Gellian sa batang naligtas namin kanina ni Terrence.

“I agree. Kailan ka pa bumalik ng Pilipinas? Nagkita na ba kayo ulit n-ni Zein?”
I was really curious about him.

His name is Gellian. Highschool friend namin ng buong Rainbow Squad. Malapit siyang kaibigan ni Zein kaya nakilala namin siya ng buong Squad. Both of his family and Zein’s are close kaya di nakakapagtaka na naging malapit sila. Umalis siya ng Pilipinas para mag-aral sa ibang bansa at ngayon ko lang siya ulit nakita after 6 years. Isa na siyang kilalang aktor sa Germany at napanuod ko na rin ang ilan sa kanyang pelikula.

“Hindi pa nga eh, pero dadalawin ko rin siya.”
he smiled at me.

“Don’t you fuckin’ smile to Kyle! You want me to throw you out of this country again?”
pagbabanta ni Terrence na nasa tabi ko.

I squeezed his hand to calm him down since he’s now throwing death glares at Gellian. Wala namang pakialam si Gellian at nakikipagkulitan pa kay Sabrina.

“Sorry dude. Don’t worry, Kyle is just my friend. I’m more interested with his friend. Kumain na ba kayo ng lunch? Kasama namin si Dad, gusto niyo bang sumabay?”
yaya sa amin ni Gellian.

Tumango nalang ako. Sinundan namin si Gellian papasok ng hotel kung saan din kami naka-check in. He used his Black VIP Card and swiped it into the scanner beside the glass door. Inside is a Fine Dining Cafeteria na exclusive for VIP members. Wala masyadong tao nung makapasok kami. Lumapit si Gellian habang buhat si Sabrina sa isang matandang lalaki na siyang sadya namin dito ni Terrence.

“Mr. Allen Zamora?”
tanong ni Terrence habang inabot ang kanyang kamay sa matanda.

“Yes, I’m Allen Zamora. I’m sorry I’m on my vacation and I don’t want to talk business for now. Please leave–”
hindi niya na natapos ang kanyang sasabihin nung biglang sumigaw si Sabrina.

“Dad, don’t make them leave! Masama po iyon. And they both saved me earlier from drowning”
Sabrina explained.

“What?! Totoo ba iyon sweetheart? Dapat talaga magdagdag tayo ng life guards dito,”
he loves his daughter so much and that’s for sure.

Kinuwento din ni Gellian na kaklase niya ako and that made his Dad ask for our business proposal. Terrence said that he will send it to Mr. Zamora’s email. At nagsimula na kaming kumain.

I’m hoping that this business trip will be worth it…

M.W.R.A.Y-21

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nagpaalam na kami ni Terrence kina Mr. Zamora, Sabrina at Gellian. Masaya kaming naglalakad habang magkahawak ang aming kamay dahil, mukhang tuwang-tuwa si Mr. Zamora sa pagliligtas namin sa kanyang “única-hija”.

Hindi naman namin alam na si Sabrina pala ay anak ni Mr. Zamora, at kahit hindi ay ililigtas pa rin namin ito. The whole Rossett’s Holdings Corporation did a lot of research about Mr. Allen Zamora pero masyadong private ang kanyang pamilya kaya di ko rin alam na tatay pala ni Gellian ang kanina pa namin hinahanap. Gellian is a Zamora after all.

Pagpasok namin ni Terrence sa aming Private Luxury Room ay agad niya akong hinalikan. It was a short kiss at tiningnan niya ako sa mata pagkatapos.

“Babe, we made it. Actually, gusto lang kitang makasama dito sa Palawan at wala na akong pakialam kung hindi natin mapapayag si Mr. Zamora na mag-invest basta kasama kita.”
sabi niya habang hawak ang magkabila kong pisngi.

“Almost there, hindi pa naman natin siya napapapayag. We still need to submit our business proposal to him and wait if he will agree to invest.”
I clarified.

“Pagkatapos nito, asikasuhin na natin ang marriage proposal natin?”
it sounded as a suggestion.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang marinig ang sinabi niya. Gusto kong sumigaw at tumalon sa tuwa nung mga oras na iyon pero pinipigilan ko ang sarili ko. Tumango nalang ako at binigyan siya nang matamis na ngiti.
Biglang tumunog ang phone ni Terrence. He pulled out his phone from his side pocket and looked at me with a smile on his lips.

“Babe, please send our business proporal to Mr. Zamora’s email. I’ll just take this call.”

I nodded. Lumapit ako sa Master’s bedroom at binuksan ang laptop sa may side table. I sent our business proposal that we prepared for almost a month to Mr. Zamora. I found myself checking all of the emails that was sent to us from different companies.

Nagulat ako nang lumitaw ang isang email from an unknown sender. Curiousity hits me, so I opened it. Halos gumuho ang mundo ko nung makita ang isang video clip kung saan naroon si Terrence at Mrs. Madalane Rossett.

Sa video makikitang magkausap si Terrence at ang step-mom niya sa isang cafeteria. Nakatalikod si Terrence sa video habang kaharap niya si Mrs. Rossett nang bigla siyang magsalita.

“I will make him fall for me, don’t worry.”
Terrence coldly said.

Nakita ko ang malaking ngiti sa mukha ni Mrs. Rossett nung marinig ang sinabi ni Terrence. She gently sipped at her cup of coffee before she talk.

“Good. You’re not gonna fall for that homo, right? I’m just… concerned.”
Mrs. Rossett asked while smirking.

“Of course not, I’m straight as an arrow!”
natatawang sabi ni Terrence na parang hindi makapaniwalang tinanong iyon ng kanyang step-mom.

Parang tinutusok ang puso ko nang marinig ko iyon sa taong pinakamamahal ko. Napakapit ako sa aking dibdib upang pakalmahin ang aking sarili sa mga bagay na akin pang malalaman.

“That’s such a relief. Carlos and that gay seemed distant nowadays. I guess you’re doing a great job. Continue doing it for now and once he fell into the trap, you can just leave him behind.”
Mrs. Rossett instructed.

Hindi ko na tinapos ang video dahil hindi ko na kaya. Nanginginig ako and my anxiety is getting out of control. I massaged my scalp hoping it could lessen my stress.

Bakit ngayon pa?

Bakit kung kailan hulog na hulog na ako?

Bakit kung kailan ayoko nang bumitaw ay ngayon ko pa ito malalaman?

Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pintuan mula sa living room, hudyat na bumalik na si Terrence mula sa labas.
Hindi ako matingin sa kanya habang pinipigil ang aking luha nung lumapit siya sa akin at bigla akong niyakap mula sa likod. Inalis ko ang kanyang pagkakayakap at tumayo sa harap niya.

“Is it true, Terrence?”
bungad kong tanong sa kanya. I’m losing my patience pero di ko alam kung paano ito sisimulan.

“What’s true?”
his eyes looks innocent and it’s making me feel so angry na parang totoo yung pinapakita niya sa akin. Na parang di niya ako… niloko.

Na parang di niya ako niloloko at patuloy na lolokohin hanggang sa patuloy na akong mahulog sa kanya.

“Totoo bang inutusan ka lang ng step-mom mo na lapitan ako at hayaang mahulog sa ‘yo para layuan ako ni Carlos?”
tanong ko sa kanya habang pinipigilan ang mga luhang kanina pa nagbabadyang tumulo.

“Babe, who told you that?”
tanong niya sa ‘kin, bakas ang pag-aalala.

“Di na mahalaga kung kanina ko nalaman! Tinatanong ko kung totoo ba?!”
umiwas na ako ng tingin sa kanya. Kuyom ang aking palad at doon kumukuha ng lakas.

Gamit ang dalawa niyang kamay ay hinawakan niya ang aking pisngi at marahang hinarap sa kanya ang aking mukha.

“Sorry, Babe. Oo, ginawa ko ang lahat para mapunta sa’kin ang atensyon mo. At first, I just did it because my step-mom asked me to para lumayo sa’yo si Carlos, pero maniwala ka sa hindi ay mahal na kita ngayon…”
he said those words sincerely as I’m looking at his eyes.

“Hindi ko alam kung ano yung paniniwalaan ko, Terrence. Ikaw lang yung lalaking minahal ko pero, ginago mo ‘ko!”
I gently removed his hands from my face.

Nagulat ako nang halikan niya ako. Maraming beses niya na akong hinalikan noon pero this kiss is different. May pagsusumamo at pangungulila akong naramdaman. His right hand touched my nape to make the kiss deeper pero lumayo ako.

“Babe, please don’t do this to me. Ikaw nalang yung lakas ko para magpatuloy…”
he’s now crying.

“Ikaw nalang din yung pinaniniwalaan ko pero niloko mo ‘ko, Terrence. Let’s now stop this bullshit!”
I tried to look at his eyes pero di ko magawa.

Hindi ko na siya kayang tingnan. Gusto ko na ‘tong matapos. Ayoko siyang makitang umiiyak dahil mas masakit sa’kin.

“Babe, d-don’t do this to me please…”
his voice broke.

I reminisced those sweet moments that we shared together. Isa sa dahilan kung bakit takot akong magmahal ay dahil takot akong masaktan. Siya lang yung kaisa-isang taong minahal ko bukod sa family and friends ko pero niloko niya ako.

Mabilis kong kinuha ang aking maleta at pinasok lahat ng aking gamit bago ko siya iniwan sa hotel.

🌈🙃

M.W.R.A.Y-22

Humahagulgol ako habang naglalakad sa hallway ng hotel. Wala na akong pakialam sa mga staffs and guests na nakatingin sa’kin. I probably looked pitiful since they’re all looking at me worriedly. Pagpasok ko sa loob ng elevator ay pinindot ko ang 1st Floor button at sumandal sa mirrored handrails. Nakatingala ako habang patuloy na dumadaloy ang mga luha sa aking pisngi.

Nang makalabas ako ng hotel ay nagulat ako nang makita ko si Derreck na mukhang may hinihintay habang nakasandal sa isang yellow cab. He’s wearing a Short Sleeve Henley shirt, Chino pants and a low-top White Sneakers. He smiled when he saw me going at him.

“Mr. Ateniano, long time no see! I missed you!”
he exclaimed before he gave me a hug.

He’s hugging me tightly na parang ayaw niya na akong pakawalan. Mariin ko siyang tinutulak palayo pero masyado siyang malaki at hindi man lang natitinag. Nakapatong ang kanyang leeg sa aking balikat at bahagyang nakayuko para magpantay ang aming katawan.

“Derreck, h-hindi na ako makahinga…”
I told him while trying to push him away.

“Sshhhhh… just stay, you’re about to see something amusing,”
he kissed my temple after saying those words.

Isang malakas na suntok ang nagpahiwalay sa kanya mula sa pagkakayakap sa akin. Nakita ko si Derreck na tumilapon sa harap ko habang hawak ang kanyang panga. Hindi na ako nagulat nang makita ko si Terrence sa likod ko. His frowned face makes me remember how he looked before. Lumapit siya sa akin pero umurong ako palayo.

“Terrence, how could you punch someone’s face who didn’t do anything wrong with you?!”
I asked at him in disbelief.

“Babe, of course I would do that. He just fucking kissed you!”
he bellowed while pointing at Derreck.

“I know what he did is wrong but, we’re done Terrence. Better tell your step-mom about the good news.”
I said full of sarcasm.

Tinalikuran ko na siya at inalalayan si Derreck patayo. Kinuha ni Derreck ang aking maleta at nilagay iyon sa passenger seat. Sumakay nalang din ako doon at hindi ko na sinulyapan pang muli si Terrence. Derreck sat beside me and the driver started to drive his cab.

“Your dad asked me to take you home. I already booked our flight and we’re going to the airport now.”
he whispered.

“Huh? P-Paano mo nalaman na gusto ko ng umuwi? Tsaka, nasaan ang gamit mo?”
I keep on looking everywhere inside the cab pero wala akong makitang kahit anong gamit niya.

“Wag mo ng hanapin, dahil wala akong dalang gamit. Ikaw lang talaga ang pinuntahan ko dito sa Palawan,”
he confessed.

Hindi maganda ang kutob ko sa mga nangyayari, but I was glad that he’s here with me during my lowest point. Mabilis naming narating ang airport and he carried my bag. Nakasunod lang ako sa likod niya habang patuloy na naglalakad. Sobrang dami kong iniisip at gusto ko nalang magpahinga.

It’s a 2-hour flight again from Puerto Princesa, Palawan to Makati, I just forced myself to sleep most of the time. Nasa first-class business seat kami ni Derreck nakaupo and we’re being fully served by nice flight attendants ng eroplano. Napapansin ko ang mga flight attendants na kanina pa tingin nang tingin kay Derreck, pero di niya ito pinapansin. I felt that he really cares for me. He’s always asking me if I need anything and he’s also showing off his flirty jokes at me. I know he’s doing that to entertain me.

Gabi na nang makauwi ako ng bahay. I can see that they’re all waiting for me to say something about that trip pero ang tungkol sa pagpayag lang ni Mr. Zamora na mag-invest ang nasabi ko. Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nauna ng natulog sina Renz at Steven. Naiwan ako sa living room kasama si Mom and Dad.

“Anak, you can share to us what happened. Alam mo namang nandito lang kami ng dad mo for you…”
my mom tapped my shoulders and her kind words made me cry so hard. Niyakap ko siya at umiyak sa kanyang balikat.

“Nasaan nakatira ang gagong ‘yon?!”
tumayo si Dad at hinarap ako sa kanya para punasan ang aking mga luha. Nakakatuwang isipin na hindi ko pa naman sinasabi kung ano ang dahilan ng aking pag-iyak pero alam niya na ito.

“Dad, we broke up. Ayoko ng bumalik sa kanya.”
I said between my soul-deep sobs.

“Me and your mom will help you heal. I may not be the best, dad but I’ll do my best to get you out from that bastard!”
my dad promised.

Dad made me apply at Hawkins Marketing Institution kung saan siya nagtatrabaho pero sa France na branch ako na-assign. Nais ni Mr. Phillip Hawkins III na doon din ma-assign si Derreck at ako ang inatasan niyang maging secretary nito. Hindi na ako umalma dahil, gusto ko na rin munang lumayo. The contract stated that me and Derreck will only stay there for 2 years.

Nakipagkita rin ako sa buong Rainbow Squad to let them know about my decision. They just accept it kahit alam kong ayaw nila akong paalisin, because of what happened between me and Terrence. We made each day memorable before I leave the country at halos mapuno ang gallery ko sa dami ng pictures and videos of us going to different trips.

Madaling araw ang flight namin ni Derreck, wala pa akong tulog dahil dito sa bahay nag-sleep over ang buong Rainbow Squad. Habang papalapit ang oras ng aming flight ay ramdam ko na agad ang homesick. Parang ayoko na silang iwan pero, kailangan.

I think I need to find myself again. Mahirap palang iwan ang taong sobrang magmahal, dahil pakiramdam ko ay ubos na ako pagkatapos niya akong lokohin.

Derreck came at exactly 3:00 am. He’s the one who carried my luggage from my bedroom. I bid my farewell to my family and friends and assured them that I will call them if I have my free time. The entire house was filled with sobs and goodbye messages.

I will miss them so much.

M.W.R.A.Y-23

I took a glance to the compilation of our sales report for the past 2 years. Yes, dalawang taon na ang nakalipas and I’m proud to say that I’m now fully healed. The first three months here in France was so hard. Sobrang di ako sanay mag-adjust mula sa weather hanggang sa pakikisama sa ibang taga-dito.

Narinig ko ang tatlong malalakas na katok sa opisina ko. Sinadya kong hindi sumagot para mas asarin kung sino ang nasa labas. Hindi na ako nagulat nung pinihit nito ang door knob at iniluwal ‘non si Derreck. He’s wearing a plain sweaters, Red Winter Jacket on top of it and a Black Leather shoes.

“Pourquoi tu ne m’as pas ouvert la porte,”
(
Why you didn’t open the door for me?
) he asked, while combing his smooth undercut faded hair using his right hand.

“Je savais que c’était toi alors, je n’ai pas pris la peine,”
(
I knew it’s you so, I didn’t bother
) I rolled my eyes playfully.

“Ready ka na ba?”
tanong niya habang sinisimulang tanggalin ang butones ng kanyang Winter Jacket. He’s biting his lower lip while looking at me.

“Gusto mo ibato ko sa ‘yo ito?!”
sigaw ko sa kanya habang hawak yung folder ng sales report na kailangan naming dalhin pauwi ng Pilipinas.

Tumawa nalang siya at itinigil ang ginagawa niyang kalaswaan. For the past 2 years, Derreck started to court me. Alam din ito ng Dad niya na si Mr. Phillip Hawkins III at mukhang gusto pa ako para sa anak niya. Derreck is a nice guy. We always go on dates if we have our free time, and he respects me when I tell him that I’m still not ready to accept his feelings for me.

Bumaba kami ng office at nagulat ako nang makita ang lahat ng empleyado ng Hawkins Marketing Institution na nasa first floor, the higher managers are holding set of cakes, may poster at ang mga regular employees ay may hawak na mga lobo.

“We will miss you Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Ateniano!”

iyan ang nakalagay sa malaking poster na hawak ng ilang empleyado.

I quickly went to the crowd at binigyan ng yakap ang ilan sa mga kakilala ko. For the past 2 years, they’ve always been good to me. They never treated me different given the fact that I’m from the other country and I cherish the moments we shared together.

I was inside of a private plain that Mr. Hawkins III owns. I smiled at the male attendant who offered me a glass of wine. I saw him licked his lower lip while looking to mine.

“It’s a bit unpleasant to flirt with someone else, while I’m here.”
Derreck whispered at my right ear. His warm breath made me feel shivers.

Umalis na ang male attendant nang makita ang pagbulong sa akin ni Derreck. Halos buong flight yata akong kinulit ni Derreck, as always he’s being so clingy and saying cheesy pickup lines na hindi naman tumatalab sa’kin.

I’m wearing a Black Long Sleeves and a flowy Chanel Beige Trench Coat, I partned it with a fitted jeans and a Chelsea Brown Boots. Derreck was holding my hand while we’re walking. A lot of people inside the airport are looking at us. May mga ilan akong naririnig na nagbubulungan.

“OMG! Look at them, they’re like power couple!”

“Pwede kaya tayo magpa-picture?”

“They looked so hot together! My BL heart can’t take it.”
sabi nung isang babae sa kasama niya at umaktong nahimatay.

I opened my phone to chat with my Rainbow Squad habang nasa loob ng Ferrari Silver Italia car na sumundo sa amin ni Derreck. This must be one of his Dad’s cars.

GC Name: Rainbow Squad
🌈💅

Me:

I’m back, Ghorls. Missed you so much!

@ezra.g.carson:

Bakit di mo sinabi? Sana sinundo ka namin…

@zein-garcia:

Hala totoo? Magkita na us. Punta na ako d’yan sa inyo later

@levi_sullivan:

Punta rin ako mukhang may pa-foods eh. I MISSED YOU GHORL
@kyle.ateniano
!!!

Binaba ko na ang aking phone nung mapansing nasa tapat na kami ng bahay ko. Tinulungan ako ni Derreck na ibaba ang aking maleta papasok ng bahay. Di ako makapaniwala nang makita ko si Renz at Steven na mas tumangkad at lumaki ang mga katawan. Niyakap kaagad nila akong dalawa nung makita akong pumasok ng living room.

“Kuya, amputi mo na lalo. Kayo na ba ni Kuya Derreck?”
bungad na tanong ni Steven. He’s now 18 years old.

“Bakit mo naman pinamimigay si Kuya? Gusto mo sapak?!”
pagbabanta ni Renz. He should be 20 years old now.

“Wag na kayo mag-away, hindi pa kami. Pero feeling ko, malapit na. Diba, cutiepie?”
he asked trying to sound cute.

“Malapit ka na talagang tamaan sa ‘kin. Kanina ka pa sa plane.”
pagbabanta ko sa kanya.

“Matagal na akong tinamaan sa ‘yo.”
Derreck confirmed.

“Ang corny mo Kuya Derreck, kaya di ka pa rin sinasagot ni Kuya Kyle eh. Nag-grocery pala si Mom. Gusto mo ba dito mag-dinner, Kuya Derreck?”
alok ni Renz.

“Hindi na siguro, sa bahay nalang ako magdi-dinner. Miss na rin ako ni Dad, eh hahahaha!”
Derreck declined.

Kinagabihan ay pumunta nga ang buong Rainbow Squad sa bahay. May dala si Ezra na isang Veuve Clicquot Champagne, di na ako masyadong nagulat ng may dala si Zein na mga Stitch na lobo at isang box ng Lava Chocolate cake. While, Levi on the other hand brought nothing but, his pretty face and presence.

Tulog na sila Dad sa taas kaya dito kami sa dining room nagce-celebrate. Dito na rin daw sila matutulog dahil, gabi na at lasing na kami. Si Levi at nakakapit sa paa ng lamesa, si Zein naman ay nakatulog na sa sofa habang si Ezra ay nagki-kwento ng about sa pagmo-modelling niya. Akala ko’y matino pa siya pero I was disappointed nung mapansin kong paulit-ulit yung kwento niya.

“Miss ko na siya,”
wala sa katinuang sabi ni Ezra.

“Ako din…”
I agree with what he said.

“I-text mo nga siya, sabihin mo kung gaano ko na siya ka-miss.”
utos sa akin ni Ezra.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko mula sa aking bulsa at tinext ko siya. I pressed send nung biglang sumigaw si Ezra.

“Ghorl, bakit mo siya tinext gamit yung phone mo? May number ka ba niya?!”
nag-aalalang tanong ni Ezra.

”
Wait, sino ba iyong sinasabi mo i-text ko?”
tanong ko sa kanya while trying to focus at his face because my vision starting to fade from being drunk.

“Syempre yung bebe ko, wag mo sabihing…”
hindi ko na narinig ang mga sinabi ni Ezra at tumingin sa phone ko.

Tumigil ang mundo ko nung makita ko ang sinend kong text kay Terrence.

“Babe, I misd yoyu so muchddd!”

iyan ang message na nasend ko sa kanya at mabilis ko ring binura.

M.W.R.A.Y-24

Andami kong iniisip at dumagdag pa yung text na na-send ko kay Terrence. Magkakatabi kaming apat nina Ezra sa Queen size bed ko na may Nilo Stitch na bedsheet. Nakatingin lang ako sa ceiling ng halos sampung minuto hanggang sa tuluyan na akong makatulog.

I was inside of my Dad’s Nissan Black car dahil, sabay kaming papasok sa Hawkins Marketing Institution. Hawak ko ang sales report files na dinala ko from France. Kailangan namin itong ibigay ni Derreck sa Dad niya for review. Maganda naman ang pagpapatakbo ni Derreck sa kanilang kompanya sa ibang bansa kaya hindi ako masyadong kinakabahan.

When we get off from his car ay agad kaming binati ng security guard na nakabantay sa Transparent Entrance door. Pinapasok naman ako nang malamang anak ako ni Dad. My face looks flushed because of hangover last night kaya nag-apply ako ng manipis na make up just to cover the dark circles under my eyes.

“Wow! Kyle you looked stunning!”
bungad agad sa’kin ni Mr. Hawkins III pagpasok namin ni Dad ng office niya.

“Of course, he’s my son after all.”
my dad proudly remarked.

Derreck gave a short presentation about what happened for the past two years. It’s mostly about the sales growth, pay income taxes and corporate profits. I saw how proud Mr. Hawkins III while looking at his son. Talagang nagbago in a good way si Derreck. He’s much firm and professional maliban nalang ‘pag ako ang kausap niya.

We are inside of a Luxury Italian Restaurant. Nakaupo kaming apat nila Dad, Derreck at Mr. Phillip Hawkins III sa isang round glass table. Dumating naman agad ang waiter at iniabot ang menu.

“Deux portions de lasagne classique et d’aubergine parmigiana.  Jus d’orange pour 4 également. Merci!”
(
two servings per each of classic lasagna and eggplant parmigiana. Orange juice for 4 also.  Thank you!)

Ako na ang umorder dahil, busy silang tatlo sa pag-uusap. Habang naghihintay na dumating ang pagkain ay nagsimula na ang mala-Boy Abunda na mga tanong na Mr. Hawkins III sa amin ni Derreck.

“So, are guys a couple already? For sure you visited the Eiffel Tower together,”
that sounded as a confirmation than a question from Mr. Hawkins III.

“Kyle, didn’t give me his yes yet pero we took pictures together in front of the tower,”
Derreck said in a low voice.

“What’s the cause of the delay, anak? I’m not trying to pry with you and Derreck, but this kid is a nice guy. I knew him for almost ten years.”
Dad pointed at Derreck.

“He is. I didn’t accept his feelings not because I don’t like him. Siguro worth it naman ang paghihintay kung kami talaga sa huli,”
I noted while looking at Derreck sincerely.

Nakita ko ang biglang pag-aliwalas ng mukha ni Derreck after I said those words. Kung natuturuan lang ang puso, siguro’y siya ang taong gusto kong itibok nito. For the past 2 years that we’ve been together, I only saw him as a Kuya-figure. We go on dates countless times pero wala talaga akong nakitang spark kagaya ng spark na nakita ko kay Terrence. Hindi ko naman pinapaasa si Derreck dahil, gusto ko siyang matutuhang mahalin.

Maybe, one day I will wake up na siya na yung mahal ko…

Maybe, one day I will realize his worth at matanggap ko na rin ang feelings niya for me…

Everything is constantly changing at masamang magsalita nang tapos. Gusto kong ibigay muli ang aking tiwala at damdamin sa isang taong hindi ako lolokohin at sasaktan. Derreck is the most perfect candidate. He really loves me a lot na kahit ang daming babae ang nagkakandarapa sa kanya sa France ay sa akin pa din ang atensyon niya. And, I appreciate that.

It’a been a week simula nang makabalik ako sa Pilipinas and I’m still working bilang secretary ni Derreck sa Hawkins Marketing Institution. Madalang kaming magkita ni Dad sa loob ng kompanya dahil, magkaiba ng floor ang office ni Mr. Hawkins III at ang kay Derreck. My personal table was inside his office at kaharap ko siya ngayon habang nagta-type sa computer ng monthly profit ng buong kompanya. I saw how his eyes frowned while looking at the screen of his laptop.

“Kyle, we need to visit at Rossett’s Holdings Corporation for a client meeting.”
he sounds worried while looking at my face.

“Okay, as in now na?”
tanong ko sa kanya.

“You can just stay here if you don’t want to see him.”
he said, looking guilty.

“Of course, I need to go with you. I’m your secretary after all.”
I clearly said those words, but deep inside I just want to stay here. I know I moved on pero hindi pa ako ready na makita siya ulit.

For the past 2 years that I’m out of the country, Ezra kept on sending me updates about Terrence’s life. Sinabi ko na sa kanya na wala akong pakialam, but I always found myself checking on it. He’s been single for the past 2 years. I also saw him in different business magazines, and he’s one of the youngest successful businessmen in the world. He’s now 28 years old, while I’m 25.

Derreck was holding my right hand while, driving his Lexus Blue car. Hinayaan ko nalang siyang hawakan iyon para maibsan ang kaba ko. Nasa parking lot na kami ng Rossett’s Holdings Corporation at ilang minuto na ang lumipas ay narito pa din kami sa loob ng kotse niya. Humugot ako nang malalim na hininga bago magsalita.

“Let’s go?”
yaya ko sa kanya.

“Let me hold your hand just for today to lessen your nervousness.”
that sounded as a favor from him.

Tumango nalang ako at mabilis siyang bumaba mula sa driver’s seat para ipagbukas ako ng pintuan sa labas. He immediately hold my hand when I get off from his car. Naghihintay kami ngayon na bumaba ang elevator when, I suddenly smell a familiar perfume. It’s a Jo Malone Woody Scent na agad kong hinanap kung kanino nanggagaling. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita si Terrence na nasa tabi ko. He gave me a smirk before going inside of the elevator.

“You’re not going in?”
Those words came from Terrence asking me to get inside the elevator while looking at Derreck’s hand holding mine.

Terrence

Pov

My step-mom keeps on asking me kung nasaan nag-apply si Carlos. He just came back in the Philippines a week ago and he’s not staying inside our Mansion here in Makati. Hindi rin naman ako doon nakatira dahil gusto kong bumukod kaya bumili nalang ako ng sariling bahay few blocks away from our company. I’m not a legitimate son of Rossetts.
Mr. Alexander which is my Dad, impregnated my Mom who was their personal maid in the mansion. Matapos akong ipanganak ay sinesante nila ang Mom ko at binigyan ng malaking halaga para di niya na ako kunin sa mga Rossett.

Carlos doesn’t want to inherit our family’s business. He’s a civil engineer graduate from the USA, at nag-aapply siya sa mga kompanya just for experience. Her mom asked him to just work here at Rossett’s Corporation, but he declined. Ayaw niya daw kasi ng special treatment since he wants to strive hard and feel the pressure. 

My dad is in his 50’s and he’s at high risk of high blood pressure. He just wanted to travel with my step-mom to enjoy the last half of his life. I had no choice but to handle the whole Rossett’s Holdings Corporation dahil, ayaw naman itong tanggapin ni Carlos. Dealing with possible investors, marketing campaigns, negotiating with different entrepreneurs. Iyan ang naging buhay ko for the past 3 years. Nasanay nalang siguro ako sa paulit-ulit na cycle ng buhay ko, until he came.

Nakatanggap ako ng tawag mula kay Carlos nang gabing iyon and he said that he will apply to our company along with his friend. Kyle, went inside my office that night to apply for a consecutive position. Nakita ko siya kanina sa labas ng Recruitment na katabi si Carlos. Konti lang sila sa labas ng office ko pero mas nakuha niya agad ang atensyon ko kesa sa sarili kong kapatid.

Sinigawan ko ang dalawang babaeng halos maghubad na sa harap ko para lang matanggap sa posisyong ina-apply-an nila. I looked at Kyle’s resume na nakapatong sa table ko and he look so cute sa 1x1 picture niya. I really thought na babae siya because of his petite body structure, he looks soft too.

He’s not looking at me and I’m starting to get pissed. Nakatingin lang siya sa dingding ng office kung saan nakasabit ang mga awards and trophies ng kompanya. I wanted to tease him kaya ibinaba ko ang zipper ng aking pants. I can’t believe I’m doing this para lang mapansin niya ako. I started to ask him a simple question and I was shook that he answered it coldly and left me hanging.

I hired him and my step-mom asked me to win Kyle’s heart para layuan siya ni Carlos, pero… ako yata ang mas nahulog sa patibong. I really like everything that he’s doing. Simula nung ginawa niya sa ‘kin sa Laguna, mas lalo ko pa siyang gustong angkinin. Wala na akong pakialam sa deal namin ng step-mom ko, and I’m the happiest man on earth nung sinagot niya ako.

“Sinasagot na kita…babe.”
iyan ang sabi niya. Apat na salita pero iyon ang mga salitang ngayon lang nagbigay sa ‘kin nang ganito kasayang pakiramdam.

Burnham lake was the place where we had our first date. I keep on taking his pictures from behind para pagsawaan ko sa bahay.

“Kung may pupuntahan kang bansa, saan mo gusto pumunta, babe?”
I asked him. I really want to know him more.

“Siguro sa France, I want to see the Eiffel Tower so bad kasama yung taong gusto kong makasama habambuhay,”
he said while lookong at the sky. I want that ‘someone’ to be me. I wanna see the Eiffel Tower with him by my side.

“Gusto mo pumunta na tayo ngayon? Pagkatapos nitong project na ‘to, mapapayag man natin o hindi si Mr. Zamora, I want to go there with you.”
I’m more than honest when I said that.

For almost a month that we’re in a relationship, hindi ko na napansin ang mga araw. Sobrang bilis ng panahon at oras kapag kasama mo ang taong mahal mo.

I was talking to someone from a famous jewelry company through my phone. Matagal ko ng pinagawa ang customized ring na isusuot ko sa kamay ni Kyle kapag nag-propose ako sa kanya sa harap ng Eiffel Tower pero mukhang hindi ito matutuloy nang dumating ang problema…

“Totoo bang inutusan ka lang ng step-mom mo na lapitan ako at hayaang mahulog sa’yo para layuan ako ni Carlos?”
tanong ko niya sa akin habang namumula ang sulok ng kanyang mga mata.

“Sorry, Babe. Oo, ginawa ko ang lahat para mapunta sa’kin ang atensyon mo. At first, I just did it because my step-mom asked me to para lumayo sa’yo si Carlos, pero maniwala ka sa hindi ay mahal na kita ngayon…”

Oh, God! hinihiling ko na paniwalaan niya ang sinabi ko dahil siya nalang yung taong nagpapasaya sa akin.

“Hindi ko alam kung ano yung paniniwalaan ko, Terrence. Ikaw lang yung lalaking minahal ko, pero ginago mo ‘ko!”
he removed my hands that’s holding his face.

Ang tanga ko! Bakit ba di ko man lang nasabi ang tungkol sa deal namin ng step-mom ko? Bakit kailangang sa iba niya pa malaman?

I kissed him for the very last time. Wala na akong pakialam kung magalit siya at sampalin ako bigla pero hindi niya ginawa. Lumayo lang siya mula sa aking mukha para itigil ang aking halik.

“Babe, please don’t do this to me. Ikaw nalang yung lakas ko para magpatuloy,”
I begged.

“Ikaw nalang din yung pinaniniwalaan ko pero niloko mo ‘ko, Terrence. Let’s now stop this bullshit!”
that’s what he said before leaving me hanging
again.

Napag-alaman kong nasa Paris, France siya nagtatrabaho after 6 months. Iniwan ko ang kompanya saglit kay Carlos para puntahan siya. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko siya hahagilapin pagbaba ko ng eroplano. I brought the engagement ring with me on that trip. Gusto ko kasing mag-propose sa kanya sa tapat ng Eiffel Tower bilang saksi nang tapat kong pag-ibig sa kanya.

Nasa tapat ako ng Eiffel Tower at halos gumuho ang mundo ko nang makita silang magkasama ni Derreck. They looked so happy together. I just smiled while looking at Kyle’s laugh from afar.

“Siguro’y masaya na siya kasama si Derreck…”
iyan ang laman ng utak ko habang hawak ang engagement ring na gusto kong isuot sa kanya nung mga oras na iyon.

Wala na akong choice kundi umuwi ulit ng Pilipinas. That trip was worth it especially that I saw my love smiling. I knew that I’m not the reason behind his smile pero parang nawala yung pagod ko nung makita ko siya. Looks like he moved on from the pain that I gave him.

And now, he’s standing outside of the elevator while his hand and Derreck’s are intertwined. I tried to hide my bitter face from him. My heart feels like I’m being tortured inside while looking at them. 

“You’re not going in?”
I asked them coldly, since I’m already inside of the elevator and they’re not.

Kyle’s Pov

Pumasok kami ni Derreck sa elevator. Mirrored ang door cladding kaya nakikita ko ang reflection naming tatlo habang pataas ang elevator sa 50th Floor. I noticed the familiar dark aura from Terrence’s face. He’s wearing a Navy-Blue pair of suits. His hair is much longer than before just like mine, he had a light stubble on his chin up to his jaw and it makes him look more dominant.

Hindi ko napansin na kanina pa pala ako nakatingin sa kanya mula sa mirrored door ng elevator, kaagad akong tumingin kay Derreck nang magtama ang tingin namin. Pagbukas ng pinto ng elevator ay nauna ng lumabas si Terrence at hawak pa rin ni Derreck ang kamay ko habang naglalakad.

“You can let me go now

,

”
I whispered to Derreck, because his touch is making me uncomfortable.

Kaagad naman siyang bumitaw. Nang makapasok kami sa opisina ni Terrence ay hindi naman masyadong nagbago ang paligid. Ganon pa rin ang interior at theme ng mga gamit. Nadagdagan lang ang mga awards at trophies na nakapaskil sa wall at Floating Shelves.

“So… tell me how you can pay it Mr. Hawkins?”
bungad ni Terrence ng makitang nakaupo na kami ni Derreck sa tapat ng long glass table.

“Come on, pare. Hindi naman tama ‘yon. Of course I can pay it pero palayain mo nalang si Kyle…”
pakiusap ni Derreck.

Napalingon ako kay Derreck nung marinig kong binanggit niya ang pangalan ko. I gave him a what’s-going-on-here look. Tumango siya at nilabas ang isang long envelope. I opened it and saw my job contract here at Rossett’s Holdings Corporation when I was hired.

“As you can see Mr. Ateniano, your job contract stated that you need to work as my secretary for 10 years. It’s clearly said on the contract that you will pay for $1,000,000.00 (one million US dollars/fifty million Phillipine pesos), if you breach the it.”
pagpapaliwanag ni Terrence.

I can’t believe that he will use the contract para mas saktan ako. Fifty million pesos! Ni wala pa nga yata sa kalahati yung ipon ko. I shook my head while massaging the bridge of my nose. Kakabalik ko palang ng Pilipinas, naii-stress na ako agad.

Bakit ba kasi di ko naisip na magpasa ng Resignation Letter bago lumipad ng France?

Ganon ko ba siya kagustong iwan para makalimutan kong secretary niya ako?

He looks much muscular now than before, but I can see how stressed he become due to high volume of workloads. Biglang pumasok ang isang magandang babae na naka-white long sleeves and long black skirt. She served us a cup of coffee at umupo sa tabi ni Terrence. Nakita ko ang pagtaas niya ng kilay nung makita ako.

Napaawang ang labi ko nang makita yung babae na may binulong kay Terrence habang tumatawa nang pilit. Marahang pinisil ni Derreck ang kamay ko na nakapatong sa lamesa. He might be worried about what I’m seeing. I gave him a flat smile to assured him that I’m okay.

“Dude, is there any other option than paying for the damages? Come on, we’re friends after all…”
Derreck asked him a favor.

“I didn’t say that Kyle already breached the contract. He didn’t send me a Resignation Letter to start with.”
paglilinaw ni Terrence.

He get up from his chair at naglakad papalapit sa amin ni Derreck. Ipinatong niya ang kanyang kamay sa ibabaw ng lamesa at dahan-dahang nilapit ang mukha niya sa akin. Kaagad hinila ni Derreck ang upuan ko palapit sa kanya.

“Dude, what the fuck! Pwede bang tigilan mo na si Kyle!”
sigaw ni Derreck na ngayon ay nakatayo at kaharap si Terrence.

Tumayo na rin ako para umawat. Gamit ang dalawa kong kamay ay hinawakan ko ang kanilang dibdib at marahan silang inilayo sa isa’t-isa. Nasa gitna nila akong dalawa at ramdam ko ang mabilis na paggalaw ng kanilang dibdib sa aking dalawang palad. Nakita ko ang pagngisi nung babaeng nasa harap ko ngayon.

“Ang cute niyong tatlo. Ang sarap niyong iuwi hahahahaha!”
pang-aasar ng babae sa aming tatlo.

Kaagad kong inalis ang aking dalawang kamay sa matitigas na dibdib nina Derreck at Terrence. Humarap ako kay Terrence at itinaas ang isa kong kilay.

“So anong gusto mong gawin ko? Lumuhod ako sa ‘yo kagaya nung ginawa ko sa Laguna?”
I sarcastically asked.

Napahawak ako sa aking bibig nung ma-realize ko yung sinabi ko. Parang gusto ko nang maglaho bigla nung makita ko ang nakakalokong ngisi ni Terrence.

“I want you back, Kyle”
his playful face changed to serious when he said that.

“What? Tapos na tayo, Terrence. Matagal na kitang kinalimutan. Di mo ba alam kung gaano kahirap sa’kin ang umalis at malayo sa pamilya at kaibiga-”
I wasn’t able to finish my drama lines when he cut my words.

“…as my secretary, Kyle. I want you back here at Rossett’s Holdings Corporation as my secretary.”
he clarified.

Kanina ko pa pinapahiya ang sarili ko sa opisina niya kaya sinabi ko nalang na pag-iisipan ko at umalis na kami ni Derreck. We’re now having a quick dinner sa isang Thai Restaurant, naalala ko tuloy si Carlos. Bago ako umalis ay hindi ko na siya ulit nakita. He already have his own Engineering Company when I left the country two years ago.

“Kyle, wag mo sabihing papayag ka sa gusto niya?”
tanong ni Derreck na may bahid na pag-aalala.

“Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko…”
I sounded so down when I said that.

“Ako na ang magbabayad. You can just work with me for 10 years or more. Kyle, alam mo naman lahat gagawin ko para sa iyo.”
he held my hand and squeezed it gently.

“Magagalit ang Dad mo ‘pag nalaman niya iyang plano mo. Breaching the contract and paying for the damages will not resolve the problem.”
I did my research earlier at napag-alaman ko na kailangan pang humarap sa attorney at mahaba ang proseso kung susundin ko si Derreck.

“So magta-trabaho ka ulit sa kanya? Tapos iiwan mo ako?”
he’s making me feel guilty with those words.

“Malamang! Alangan namang isama kita doon sa Rossett’s Corp. eh nasa Hawkins Institution ka nagtatrabaho.”
I joked trying to hype the whole mood.

“Basta ‘pag nagbago ang isip mo, just call me okay? Itatanan na kita this time.”
He said this in a serious tone before we ate our food.

M.W.R.A.Y-27

Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising para mag-prepare. Sinabi ko na din kay Dad na babalik ako ng Rossett’s Holdings Corporation pero, di ko sinabi sa kanya ang tungkol sa breach of contract agreement dahil baka sugudin niya si Terrence.

Mag-aalas-10 na ng umaga at nandito pa din ako sa labas ng kompanya nila Terrence. Parang gusto kong wag nalang tumuloy pero, nandito na ako. Nakita naman ako ni Mang Lucas na security guard at dati ng nagta-trabaho dito kaya kilala niya na ako.

“Mr. Ateniano, pasok po kayo. Anlaki po nang pinagbago niyo. Mas pumuti po kayo!”
pambobola sa akin ni Mang Lucas.

“Naku, Mang Lucas wag niyo na akong bolahin. Nasa loob na ba si Terre-Mr. Rossett?”
nabubulol kong tanong.

“Oo, sir. Ang totoo nga po niyan ay madalang nalang umuwi si Mr. Rossett dahil laging bugbog sa trabaho. Hindi na rin kasi siya kumuha ng sekretarya simula nung umalis kayo,”
pag-amin ni Mang Lucas.

Parang tinusok ang puso ko ng marinig iyon. Pero kung wala siyang pinalit sa aking sekretarya ay sino yung babaeng higad-

“Kyle? Ikaw na ba ‘yan?”
isang matinis na boses ang narinig ko sa aking likod.

Napalingon ako at nakita ko ang babaeng akala ko ay secretary ni Terrence kahapon. Nakasuot na siya ngayon ng Floral Off Shoulder Dress at 3 inches Leather Sandals. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

“Do I know you?”
I asked in a monotone.

“Ako ‘to, yung nasa office ni Kuya Terrence!”
sigaw niya sa ‘kin na para bang hindi makapaniwala na hindi ko siya naalala.

“I’m sorry, I forgot.”
My apology is sincere, pero it’s not true na di ko siya naalala.

“That’s fine. Halika na, kanina ka pa hinihintay ni Kuya. By the way, I’m Lorriane. Kapatid ako ni Kuya Terrence hihi!”
pagpapakilala niya.

Patawarin sana ako sa lahat ng naisip ko kanina. Hindi ko naman alam na kapatid pala siya ni Terrence, pero paano nangyaring may kapatid siya? Dalawa lang naman sila ni Carlos na anak ng tatay ni Terrence…

Patuloy na akong nahila ni Lorriane papasok ng Rossett’s Building. Naririndi na ako sa tinis ng boses niya pero pinilit kong ngumiti habang nagki-kwento siya nang kung ano-ano. Nakarating na kami sa 50th Floor at pumasok sa loob ng office ni Terrence.

“Kuya, may surprise ako sa ‘yo!”
bungad ni Lorriane pagpasok namin sa office ni Terrence.

Nakita ko si Terrence na nasa harap ng kanyang lamesa habang nagta-type sa laptop niya. His Red Long Sleeves are rolled up to his elbow, and he’s wearing his Reading Glasses. I noticed that he shaved his stubble. He’s now looking so neat and fresh.

Kaagad siyang napangiti nang makita ako sa likod ni Lorriane. Mabilis siyang tumayo sa kanyang upuan at halos madapa para tumakbo sa direksyon ko. I was shocked when he gave me tight hug. Hindi ko naman iyon pinigilan. Parang iiyak na ako nung maamoy ko ang Jo Malone Woody scent perfume niya. His hugs are still my comfort zone.

Bumitiw siya sa pagkakayap sa akin at tiningnan ang aking mga mata. I missed seeing his face close like this. He’s still charming ever since the day I first saw him. He smiled again when he noticed that I’m now trying to avoid his gaze.

“Totoo ba ‘to? I know that you will come back to me, di ko lang inaasahan na ngayon agad,”
di makapaniwala niyang tanong.

“Uwi na tayo Kyle! Parang ayaw ka yata ni Kuyang makita,”
Lorriane replied for me.

“Shut up, Lorriane Joyce Mercado! Umuwi ka na nga!”
awat ni Terrence kay Lorriane.

“Oo na uuwi na. Call me Kyle ‘pag hindi ka payagan ni Kuyang umuwi mamaya,”
Lorriane gave me a calling card before leaving us.

           
Lorriane Joyce Mercad
o
                    Neurosurgeon
                      09989012**

Pagkalabas ni Lorriane ay sinabi niya sa akin na natagpuan niya na ang tunay niyang ina. She’s in La Union at si Lorriane naman ay anak ng kanyang ina sa asawa nito. I’m happy that he’s now telling me something about his family dahil hindi naman siya masyadong nagki-kwento noon.

Naging mahirap sa akin ang first week ko dito sa Rossett’s Corporation, dahil mas nasanay akong mag-handle ng workload sa Hawkins Institution. Kung tutuusin ay halos 1 month lang ang tinagal ko dito sa Rossett’s Corp, di kagaya sa Hawkins Institution na tumagal ako ng 2 years.

Bumalik ang dating paghahatid sa akin ni Terrence pauwi pero napansin kong lumayo ang loob niya sa akin. Hindi na siya nakikipag-usap sa akin maliban sa work related topics. Mas pabor naman sa akin ‘yon, dahil naiilang din akong makipag-usap sa kanya.

Malakas ang ulan sa labas at nakahiga ako ngayon sa kama ko. I’m doing some research about our future investors on my laptop. I’m already done with my night skincare routine at naka-pajamas na rin ako nang biglang tumunog ang notification ng phone ko. I opened it and saw a text from Terrence.

“Babe, I also missed you. Could you come to me this time? I badly need you.”

Kumaripas ako nang takbo papuntang closet at kumuha ng isang hoodie jacket. Mabilis ko iyong sinuot at dahan-dahang pumasok sa bedroom nila Mom para kunin ang susi ng kotse ni Dad. I locked our house outside at nagsimula ng mag-drive.

After 15 minutes, narating ko na ang two-storey house na pagmamay-ari ni Terrence. Tumakbo ako palapit sa pintuan ng bahay niya at di alintana ang malakas na buhos ng ulan. I was about to knock on his door when he open it for me. Tiningnan niya ang suot ko at parang di makapaniwala na nasa harapan niya na ako ngayon.

Pinapasok niya ako sa loob ng bahay niya. Walang ilaw ang buong paligid pero amoy ko ang alak sa direksyon ni Terrence. Nanginginig na ako sa lamig dahil basa ako ng ulan.

“Terrence, anong kailangan mo sak-”
hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko nang bigla niya akong hinalikan.

“Fuck, I missed you

babe!”
he growled between his kisses.

.

He tastes like a fine whiskey when he savoured my mouth. Nadala ako ng tukso at pananabik sa kanya, so I responded to his kisses. I saw how he smirked when he realized I had surrendered myself to him. He used both of his hands to hold my face and deepen our kisses. I can feel his tongue entering my mouth to taste me better. I wrapped my arms around his nape and the sensation between us became hotter.

 

Gamit and dalawa niyang kamay ay binuhat niya ang dalawa kong hita at isinabit iyon sa bewang niya. I feel so light when he carries me. I can also feel the hard thing poking my ass, so I tried to move my hips slowly to get a better feel for it. Now I know why I called him Mr. Biggie before. 

“Ugh! Fuck! Kyle, please say you want me back. Gagawin ko lahat. Ang hirap habulin ng taong walang kasiguraduhan kung babalik pa siya sa ‘yo,”
He stopped kissing me to say those words in front of my face. He’s now crying. This was the same face that I left before. The same expression that I left 2 years ago.

 

When I saw his crying face, parang tinutusok ng karayom ang puso ko. 2 years has passed since our break up pero siya pa rin talaga. Hindi na ako magmamahal ng iba kung hindi lang rin si Terrence. Niloko niya ako noon, pero alam kong he’s sincere when he said that he wants me back.

“Yes! Terrence, I want to get back with you, pero… natatakot akong masaktan ulit.”
I’m bawling uncontrollably.

“Sorry, babe. Sorry… nasaktan kita. Kung ang kapalit ng pananakit sa ‘yo ay ang iwan mo ulit ng dalawang taon, please ako nalang yung saktan mo. You don’t know how much I suffered nung nawala ka.”
he confessed between his sobs

I wiped his tears using my hands. He’s still holding my waist to stop me from falling. Mas nasasaktan ako ‘pag nakikita ko siyang umiiyak.

“Alam mong kahit kailan ay hindi kita kayang saktan, Terrence.”
I whispered.

“Babe, nasaktan mo na ako nung iniwan mo ‘ko two years ago. Pero ikakamatay ko kung iwan mo ako ulit. I can’t guarantee na di ka na masasaktan ulit, pero panghawakan mo ang pagmamahal ko sa ‘yo. Nung sinabi ng Dad mo na huwag kitang saktan, hindi ako nakasagot dahil sa deal namin ng step-mom ko. Pero handa akong gawin ang lahat just to win you back. Mahal na mahal, na mahal, na mahal kita, Kyle.”
he promised me.

“Mahal pa rin kita, Terrence.”
I confessed and kiss him again to shut him up.

Sa dalawang taon ko sa ibang bansa, hindi nawala sa akin ang mag-aalala sa kanya. Lagi kong iniisip kung maayos pa ba siya, kung masaya ba siyang wala ako sa piling niya, o kung nakahanap na ba siya ng iba. Mahal ko talaga siya na kahit anong desisyon niya ay handa akong sumuporta. Panghahawakan ko ang kanyang pinangako sa akin, subalit kung ito’y hindi totoo… asahan niyang hindi na ako babalik pang muli sa kanyang piling.

Madilim ang paligid at malakas ang ulan sa labas. I’m amazed kung paano siya nagsimulang maglakad habang bitbit ako. My legs are still wrapped on his waist and my hands are hugging his nape while kissing him torridly. He’s carrying my ass for support.

Terrence gently put me down on his bed. He didn’t leave my lips while doing that. Nagsimula siyang tanggalin ang butones ng kanyang pajamas shirt at nang mainis ay pinunit niya nalang ito. Hindi ko na napansin ang bilis ng mga pangyayari. He’s only wearing his Calvin Klein Red Boxers and now I’m fully naked. Tinulak ko siya nang bahagya at siya na ang hiniga ko sa kama. I’m now on top of him. Nagsimulang gumapang ang mga kamay ko from his chest, abs pababa sa harap ng kanyang boxers.

Hindi na ako nag-aksaya ng oras at tinanggal ko na ang natitira niyang suot. I stopped kissing his lips and pulled myself backwards to face his semi-erect cock. I noticed that it had become much longer and bigger than before. I kissed the tip of his member and I could hear him growling.

 

“I missed you too, Mr. Biggie.”
I’m now talking to his member in front of me.

“Fuck! Babe, just fuckin suck it. I waited two fuckin’ years for this. Dammit!”
he exclaimed.

I started licking his balls up to the head of his massive shaft. I can taste his sweet precum and that makes me want to taste him more. I opened my mouth as widely as I could and started sucking his shaft. It’s so big and long that it’s already touching my throat when I try to go deeper. I gave him a deep throat and he was guiding me by moving his hips.

“Ugh! Damn! Babe, I’m gonna cum!”
he shouted. He’s already sweating so much despite the cold weather.

I move my head quickly to make him cum inside my mouth. I’m looking at his eyes while sucking his cock deeply with an up and down motion. The lust expression on his eyes is evident and he’s doing naughty smiles while I’m blowing on him. His groans and moans filled the entire room. I gave him a long, slow, edging blowjob until he released his load into my mouth. I swallowed it all.

“Fuck! Babe, why did you do that?”
He got up from his bed and touched my face.

 

“You still tastes good, Mr. Biggie hmmm,”
I said seductively.

Nagulat ako nang buhatin niya ako at hiniga sa kama. I already made him cum, but his cock is still hard. Hinawakan niya ang dalawa kong hita at malakas niya iyong itinaas. I saw how he licked his lower lip while looking at my entrance.

“We’re not yet done, Babe. Let me shoot my load inside you this time.”
that didn’t sound as request.

I shouted so loud when he entered me without hesitation. He started moving his hips while feeling himself inside me. Nakatingala siya sa ceiling habang pabilis nang pabilis ang kanyang galaw.

“Shit! You’re still so tight, babe!Your ass is squeezing my raging dragon inside you!”
he yelled at me, his voice tinged with lust.

 

He’s now giving me hard thrusts that made me go crazy. I’m now shouting for my life at halos mapaos na ako sa kakasigaw. He’s kissing and biting my neck between those hard thrusts. Kanina niya pa pinipisil ang hita ko habang nakabuka iyon sa gitna niya.

“Ugh! Fuck, fuck, b-babe, I’m coming!”
sigaw niya at mas lalong pinabilis ang kanyang pagbayo.

He gave me a few hard thrusts and I finally felt his hot load inside me. He gently drew his shaft from my core and kissed my lips softly. I tried to respond to his kisses at ngayon ko mas naramdaman ang pagod.

“I will marry you, Kyle.”
he whispered before I close my eyes to sleep.

M.W.R.A.Y-29

Nagising ako nang maramdaman ko ang mainit na paghinga sa aking batok. I turned my face and saw Terrence sleeping beside me. I’m now wearing a Stitch Pajamas shirt and pants. I don’t feel sticky, so I must have been cleaned by him last night before he slept. I smiled when I saw his good-looking face. I kissed his eyes, down to his nose, and finally his lips before he woke up.

“Good morning, Babe!”
I greeted him when I saw his eyes were now open.

Kaagad niya akong hinila at ipinatong sa kanyang katawan. I can see how he raised both of his eyebrows twice, like he was giving me a sign. I gave him a what’s-the-meaning-of-that look.

“Good morning too, Babe. Can I have you as my breakfast?”
he asked with a grin on his face.

Kaagad akong lumayo mula sa paghiga ko sa kanya nung marinig ko iyon. I already knew what he wants. Ibang klase talaga ang stamina ng lalaking ‘to. Hindi ba siya nakakaramdam ng pagod? Pinilit kong tumayo at lumakad pero mabilis akong nadapa pagbaba ng kama. I felt like my legs turned into jelly. I felt so sore especially on my back.

“Fuck, babe, what happened?! Are you okay?”
He got up from his bed to check my condition.

“O-okay lang ako. Hindi lang kasi ako sanay. I mean it’s been two years at ngayon lang ulit ako-”
I stopped myself from talking when I realized what I’m about to say.

I saw how he covered his face using both of his hands to stop himself from laughing. Lagi ko nalang pinapahiya ang sarili ko sa kanya. He always find it amusing everytime I’m being like that.

“The feeling is mutual, babe. It’s passed 2 years and I didn’t fuck anyone except from you.”
pag-amin niya.

“So, you fucked someone else before we had a relationship?!”
ewan ko kung bakit ako nagagalit sa kanya? Kung babae lang ako, iisipin kong baka buntis na ako agad.

“Babe, I’m just a man with needs. I fucked my girlfriends before, pero ‘di pa kita nakikilala noon. Kung nakilala lang kita nang maaga, baka ikaw ang nakauna sa ‘kin.”
he sounded so sincere when he said that.

“Okay lang, it’s not like I’m a virgin when you first did it to me.”
pagsisinungaling ko.

Hindi pwedeng ako lang ang magselos. The feeling is mutual din dapat.

“What?! Sino yung gagong nakauna sa ‘yo? Give me the name and I will shoot him now!”
he yelled so loud.

I’m enjoying this so far. I like his possessive attitude. Even when we had our first relationship 2 years ago, mabilis siyang magselos kapag may nababanggit akong pangalan ng lalaki sa kanya maliban kila Ezra, Levi at Zein.

I just rolled my eyes at him at pinilit na bumangon mula sa aking pagkakadapa. I went inside his bathroom at nag-shower. There’s an open closet inside of his bathroom kaya kumuha nalang ako ng damit niya at sinuot iyon. Nakasuot ako ng plain White Tshirt at Black Short Pants.

It’s now Sunday, kaya wala akong pasok. I decided to chat my Rainbow Squad nung mapansin kong lumabas saglit si Terrence ng kuwarto.

GC Name:
Rainbow Squad
🌈💅

Me:

We’re back together(˘･_･˘)

@zein-garcia:

Sino? Si Kuya Terrence Rossett ba???

@levi_sullivan:

Malamang
@zein-garcia
, may iba pa ba siyang naging jowa dati? Hoy, panalo ako sa pustahan natin. Send nyo na sakin yung 10k
@ezra.g.carson

@ezra.g.carson
:
Oo na
@levi_sullivan
, panalo ka na. Pero
@kyle.ateniano
, bakit ambilis mo naman yatang bumigay ulit? Gayahin mo ako, hindi ko na talaga balak balikan si Carlos.

Carlos and Ezra broke up as well, and it happened two years ago. Ezra didn’t mention the cause of their break-up pero alam kong siya ang nakipaghiwalay. Ezra just focused himself to build his Modelling Career. Maraming bansa na ang kanyang napuntahan dahil naiimbitahan siya sa ilang fashion shows. Naging busy din sa trabaho sa si Engr. Carlos Azaac Rossett sa Engineering Company na siya ang naghahandle bago ako umalis ng Pilipinas.

“Babe, may ipapakilala ako sa iyo.”
Terrence said when he went back in the bedroom.

Nagulat ako nang pumasok ang isang matandang babae. She’s at her mid 50’s pero she still looks gorgeous. She had a short wintered-gray hair, her eyes are also hazel colored just like Terrence. Nakasuot siya ng floral na dress na below the knee and a pair of flat sandals. Lumapit siya sa akin at niyakap ako nang mahigpit.

“Maraming salamat, Kyle sa pagmamahal na binigay mo ulit sa anak ko,”
she said while she’s hugging me tight.

Marahan kong hinaplos ang kanyang likod nang magsimula itong umiyak. Walang dudang siya ang ina ni Terrence lalo pa ng marinig ko ang isang matining na boses na nanggaling sa living room.

“Mom! Kuya! Nasaan na kayo? Bakit iniwan niyo ako?!”
pagdadrama ni Lorriane nung pumasok sa bedroom ni Terrence.

“Ang ingay mo talaga! Buti sound-proof ‘tong walling ng bahay ko, kung hindi baka sinigawan na tayo ng mga kapit-bahay!”
awat ni Terrence sa kapatid niya.

Tinulungan kong magluto ng almusal ang Mom ni Terrence habang si Lorriane naman ay kanina pa inaasar ang kuya niya. Nang matapos kaming magluto ay nagsimula na kaming kumain sa dining room. Rectangular Glass Shape ang table kung saan kami kumakain at katabi ko si Terrence habang kaharap naman namin ang Mom niya at si Lorriane.

“Mom, nagpaalam na ako kay Mrs. Madalane Rossett. Aalis kami ni Kyle papuntang France.”
pagbasag ni Terrence katahimikan.

“Huh? Anong sabi mo? France, eh kagagaling ko lang doon?”
I asked him. Wala naman kaming napag-usapan na aalis kami at saka kagabi lang kami ulit nagkabalikan.

“Matagal ko nang plinano itong trip sa France kasama ka, babe. Please just go with me, hmmm?”
he begged while holding my hand under the table.

“Mag-iingat kayo doon anak. Alagaan mo ‘tong si Kyle. Malamig doon kaya magdala kayo ng sweaters at jackets.”
bilin ni Tita Angela na ina ni Terrence.

Kaagad namang umalis sina Tita Angela at Lorriane pagkatapos namin kumain ng breakfast. Nasa car kami ngayon ni Dad pauwi sa amin, dahil nadala ko ito kagabi nung pumunta ako sa bahay ni Terrence. Saktong wala ring pasok si Dad kaya hindi naman ito masyadong nagalit nung nag-text ako sa kanya.

This is the first time that I’m driving a car while Terrence were at my side. Nakatingin lang siya sa ‘kin habang nagmamaneho ako and he looks so amused at how I maneuvered my Dad’s car.

I hope we can be this close forever…

M.W.R.A.Y-30

Nang makababa kami ng eroplano ay bumalik sa akin ang lahat ng alaala kung bakit ko napag-desisyunang pumunta dito sa France. Hindi naging madali ang healing process ko at never kong naisip na babalik ako dito kasama yung taong pilit kong kinalimutan noon.

Hawak ni Terrence ang aking kamay habang palabas kami ng airport. Nakakapagtaka na hindi ganoon nagalit sila Mom at Dad nung sinabi kong nagkabalikan kami ni Terrence. Mas nagtampo pa sila nang sabihin ni Terrence na aalis din kami agad papunta dito sa France. I already called Derreck and apologized to him. Hindi ko magawang magalit sa kanya nung malaman kong siya pala ang nag-send sa akin ng video clip sa company email ko 2 years ago. He admitted that he just loves so much kaya niya nagawa iyon.

We booked a hotel in front of the famous Eiffel Tower. Mula sa veranda ay kitang-kita ko ang tower at mga turista galing sa iba’t-ibang bansa. The Luxury Hotel where we are staying was very cosy. The entire room is fully air-conditioned and feature a safety deposit box and a flat-screen TV. It also has a seating area and balcony, available according to availability. The private bathroom has a medium size bathtub and it also contains hairdryer, free toiletries, bath robes and slippers.

Kanina ko pa napapansin na malalim ang iniisip ni Terrence. Nakahiga siya ngayon sa kama. He’s topless and only wearing a Lacoste Fitted Boxers. Tumabi ako sa kanya at isinandal ang ulo ko sa kanyang dibdib.

“Babe, okay ka lang? Kanina ka pa tulala,”
I worriedly asked him.

“May iniisip lang ako, Babe. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na kasama na kita ulit ngayon.”
pag-amin niya.

“Ako rin, I never thought na babalik ako dito… kasama ka,”
I’m now starting to seduce him by rubbing his abs using my index finger.

“Babe, stop what you’re doing. Baka ilang araw kang hindi makalakad.”
he advised me.

Hindi ko na siya kinulit. Alas-10 na ng umaga nung matapos kaming mag-breakfast at naligo muna kami sa bathtub. He’s now on my back, and I’m leaning on his hard chest. We’re fully naked, so I can feel his member between the cheeks of my ass. He keeps on twirling the strands of my hair using his fingers like it’s the most interesting thing that he wants.

“Babe, naalala mo yung sinabi mo sa ‘kin noon na gusto mong pumunta ng Eiffel Tower kasama yung taong gusto mong makasama habambuhay?”
I can feel the hesitation from his voice when he asked me that.

“Oo naman! Bakit mo natanong?”
I replied with a question.

“Nalungkot lang ako kasi hindi ako yung unang lalaki na kasama mo sa tapat ng Eiffel Tower. Nakita ko kasi kayo ni Derre-”
I cutted him off before he finished his sentence.

“Wag mo sabihing pumunta ka ng Paris, France just to look for me?”
I don’t want to assume pero parang iyon ang nais niyang iparating.

I was touched when he nodded at me. I can’t believe that he will go here in Paris just to find me. Hindi ko na napigilan ang mga luhang nagbabadyang tumulo nung inamin niyang pinuntahan niya ako dito sa Paris 6 months after I left him.

”

Why didn’t you call me? Didn’t you say you’re only a few steps away from me?”

I asked between my sobs.

“Hindi na kita tinawag kasi mukhang masaya ka kasama si Derreck. Mahal kita, pero kung mas masaya ka sa piling ng iba… ay tatanggapin ko ‘yon. Ganon kita ka-mahal, Kyle.”
he confessed and gently kissed my temple.

Nakatulog ako agad pagkatapos naming kumain. Alas-7 na ng gabi dito sa Paris at ramdam ko ang sobrang lamig. It’s already December, so I didn’t get shocked when I see that it’s already snowing outside nung sumilip ako sa labas ng veranda. I tried to look for Terrence sa buong room pero di ko siya makita. Kinakabahan na ako and call me ‘overacting’, dahil kahit sa ilalim ng kama ay hinanap ko siya.

Tinawagan ko siya gamit ang phone ko, I already called my wireless provider 2 years ago, so I can make or receive calls from other countries. I sighed in relief nung marinig ko ang boses niya pagsagot ng tawag ko.

“B-babe? W-where are you? Did you see my note on top of the side table?”
nanginginig niyang tanong.

I looked at the side table katabi ng King Size Bed and I saw a yellow piece of paper with his handwriting on it.

”

Babe, meet me in front of the Eiffel Tower after you wake up. I’ll be waiting for you forever.”

 

Mabilis kong binaba ang tawag at nagsuot ng sweater para puntahan siya sa labas. Mukhang kanina niya pa ako hinihintay dahil nanginginig na siya nung sinagot ang tawag ko.
Nakababa na ako ng first floor at tumakbo palabas ng hotel. The Eiffel Tower is just a walking distance far from the hotel we checked in.

Halos gumuho yung mundo ko nang makita siyang nakatayo sa gitna ng maraming tao. He’s only wearing a hoddie jacket, fitted pants, and a pair of black leather shoes. He’s freezing cold while holding a Nilo Stitch Bouquet of flowers, and a lot of tourists are looking at him. He saw me walking towards him, and he gave me a breathtaking smile.

 

Nang makalapit ako sa kanya ay agad ko siyang niyakap. I saw how the crowd formed themselves into a heart shape while Terrence and I were in the center. A group of musicians holding their violins came out of nowhere and started to play their instruments in the tune of
Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”

Terrence started to sing the song.

 

And darling I will be loving you ‘til we’re 70

~

And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23

~

And I’m thinking ‘bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

~

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Oh me I fall in love with you every single day

~

And I just wanna tell you ”

I am marrying you.”

He kneeled in front of me, not minding the crowd who were looking at us. He pulled out an engagement ring box from his side pocket. He opened it and I saw a platinum white ring and a sapphire stone at the center of the head.

 

“Je veux passer une éternité avec toi. S’il te plaît, épouse-moi, Kyle. Je t’en supplie.”
(
I wanna spend forever with you. Please marry me, Kyle. I’m begging you.)

“Yes, Babe. I will!”
I proudly answered.

He doesn’t need to beg for me to agree, dahil papayag talaga ako. He put the ring on the third finger of my left hand. I immediately pulled him up from kneeling and gave him a short kiss. The crowd gave us loud cheers and claps. 

It has been a long journey until
we made it this far. I can’t wait to see myself with you till we’re 70 and I will promise to love you eternally,

Mr. Terrence Axel Rossett.

Now signing off,

Kyle Stanley Ateniano

M.W.R.A.Y (Special Chapter)

Warning: R-18

“Good morning, Kyle Stanley Ateniano-Rossett,”
maligayang bati sa akin ni Lorriane nang makapasok ako sa opisina.

I smiled at her and sat in my vanity chair.
“T-thank you, Lori. Would you like some coffee or tea?”

“Hindi na, babalik din ako kaagad sa ospital. Tinawagan ako ni kuya and he said that you’re sick,”
she said, worriedly, as she took the stethoscope from her sling bag.

Before she could even look at my condition, I got to my feet. I let out a long sigh as I gazed out the window of my office. I clenched my teeth when I saw Terrence with his ostensibly client, who had been visiting us for a week.

Kaagad rin namang tumayo si Lorriane at pinagmasdan kung nasaan ako nakatingin. Ang mga braso namin ay naka-krus at sabay pa kaming bumuntong hininga nung lumapit ang babaeng kliyente kay Terrence, waring may binubulong ito.

“Now I know why you’re sick; do you want me to pull out that flirty woman’s hair?”
Lorriane dared.

“No need, my squad is already outside with their weapons drawn, and that woman is our target.”

I forced a smile when Terrence winked at me, probably noticing that I was looking at him. Denise is the daughter of a successful businessman, and I know she adores my husband. The way she flips her hair, her cringy soft movements, and the fact that she’s sitting next to my man despite the fact that Terrence’s office has a lot of chairs.

Kasalanan ko ‘to! Bakit ba kasi ako nagpumilit na magkaroon ng sariling opisina? Hindi ko tuloy marinig ang pinag-uusapan nila.

Lorriane bid her farewell when she received word that she needed to return to the hospital. Ako nama’y nanatiling nakabusangot sa aking opisina. Bumaling ang aking tingin sa pinto nang bumukas iyon at iniluwal ang mga kaibigan ko.

Levi sat on the couch, fanning himself with his hand.
“Ghorl, alam mo bang ang tagal naming naghintay sa baba tapos ang init-init?”

“By looking at my tanned skin, my Darky would probably think I went to the beach without telling him,”
Zein sighed, surveying his arms.

Napasinghap si Ezra sa narinig,
“Seryoso ka ba, Zein ? Paano ka mangingitim, eh ikaw yung pinapayungan namin kanina?”

I tapped my table to stop them.
“Bakit kasi hindi nalang kayo dito sa office ko naghintay? O di kaya sa lounge? Ako pa malalagot nito sa mga asawa niyo, eh.”

Lumapit naman sila sa akin at minasahe ang likod ko. Kahit paano ay humupa naman ang stress na nararamdaman ko dahil sa kanila. Nang makarinig ako ng sunod-sunod na katok ay umayos ako ng upo.

“Kyle, these are the reports for this year’s deficit,”
Marco, our financial officer, said after I summoned him.

Tumaas agad ang kilay ko nang ‘di ko napapansin.
“Marco, haven’t I already told you to address me as Mr. Ross–I mean, Mr. Ateniano?”

“Why?”
he smirked,
“I prefer calling you by your first name because it suits your youthful face better.”

“Uhm… Ghorl-este Kyle, mauuna na kami. Don’t forget to update us, huh?”
ani Ezra habang hawak ang palapulsuhan nina Levi at Zein.

I simply nodded and smiled at them. I returned my gaze to Marco as soon as my squad left. This guy is two years younger than me, and he was promoted after my wedding as a result of his outstanding performance at work. To be honest, he’s a good-looking guy.

Sa isang iglap ay muling kumulo ang dugo ko nung makita ang pagyakap ng babaeng mukhang higad sa asawa ko.
Makalipas ang ilang segundo ay bahagyang tinulak palayo ni Terrence si Denise. Hindi naglaon ay lumabas na rin ang babae sa opisina kasama ng ilan niyang bodyguards.

“Marco,”
I said quietly.
“Come on, give me a hug,”
that’s what I ordered when I saw Terrence leaving, now on his way to my office.

“Huh?”
bakas ang pagkagulat sa mukha ni Marco.

I gave him a lethal look.
“Give me a hug, and I’ll give you 5% more on your next payout!”

He must have been overwhelmed by what he heard based on how quickly he grabbed my waist to pull me closer to him. My lips parted as his arms wrapped around my back. After Terrence walked into my office, I simply tapped Marco’s shoulder.

Tiim bagang akong tiningnan ni Terrence.
“H-honey, how about we go? I’ll take you to lunch.”

Bumitaw naman kaagad si Marco mula sa pagkakayakap at taas noong nakipagtitigan kay Terrence. I could feel a dark aura filling the four corners of my office, which is a little concerning. Terrence’s brow is knitted, and his fists are clenched, ready to knock Marco down.

I looked down at my wristwatch.
“But it’s still early, Terrence, and I’m not hungry yet.”

“Kakain ka o kakainin kita,”
Terrence warned me in an authoritative tone, causing me to cover my face in embarrassment.

Marco shook his head, scratching the back of his neck.
“I believe that’s the cue for me to depart, right? E-enjoy your lunch.”

Nang makalabas si Marco ay nahuli ko ang pag-lock ni Terrence sa pinto. He gave me an enticing grin as he rolled down the curtains so we couldn’t see what was going on outside. I sat on the table, pouting my lips and looking at him with suspicion.

“Terrence!”
hindi ko maiwang sumigaw nang paulanan niya ako ng halik sa aking leeg.

He started to unbutton my longsleeve shirt.
“You know that guy likes you, right?”

“And you’re also aware that your client is flirting with you,”
ganti ko.

“Our client. Denise is our client, honey. You’re my wife, and we’re both in charge of this corporation, so whoever my client is, is also your client,”
Terrence clarified.

“Wife?”
I yelled.
“So you still remember you’re married to me, and you’re still allowing that woman to cling to you?”

He admitted his defeat by biting his lower lip.
“She grew up in the United States, and that’s how people interact with each other. Do you want me to end our contract with her?”

“Don’t do it. You said she’s a great investor, and we don’t want to lose people like her.”
mahina kong turan.

“All right, I’ll cancel our contract with her,”
he said as he aggressively kissed my lips, causing my lips to hang open.

Walang pag-aalinlangan niyang inalis ang kahit anong gamit na nakapatong sa aking lamesa kabilang ang ilang papeles, ballpens at maging ang laptop na bagong bili pa lamang. I wanted to scold him for being reckless, but all I could do was smile when he jumped on top of me after laying me down on the table.

“Did you know I asked my brother to make this office soundproof when he built it so you can scream my name freely?”
he teased, tossing his polo shirt.

“R-really?”
I mumbled nervously.
“But, hon, I don’t want to do it here because… I’m afraid someone might come in.”

Dali-dali niyang tinanggal ang pagkakabutones ng damit ko at hinagis iyon sa kung saan. When he pulled down my pants, revealing my naked body, I gasped. I couldn’t take my eyes off him as he gulped with delight. This is going to be a long session for sure.

Inabot niya ang telepono malapit sa akin at tumawag,
“Mr. Santillan, kindly cancel all of my prior commitments today. All of the employees can now go home too. Thank you for your service and see you all tomorrow,”
he said before hanging up the phone.

“Can you scream my name now, honey?”
Paos niyang wika bago sipsipin ang aking utong.

“Ugh, Terrence! Fuck you!”
I moaned in pleasure.

He licked my tit and sucked it deliriously,
“No, Honey. I’ll fuck you. Hard.”

Kumapit ako sa kanyang leeg nung bigla niya akong patuwarin sa lamesa. Ang mga kamay ko’y mahigpit na nakakapit sa sulok sa takot na ako’y mahulog. I growled as Terrence’s licked my entrance while parting my ass to give it more access.

“Nghhh… Terrence, that feels good!”

Before I heard him unzip his pants, he just chuckled. I looked at him from behind and swallowed the lump that had gotten stuck in my throat after seeing his proud cock that would get inside later. He is, without a doubt, Mr. Biggie.

He wrapped his shaft in a condom and lubricated it with something I didn’t know where he got it. Hinaplos ko ang kanyang matipunong dibdib pababa sa bato-bato niyang abs at doon kumapit nang pasukin niya ako nang dahan-dahan.

“Ahhh! Terrence, you’re so huge! Damn!”
sigaw ko.

He moaned,
“And you’re so damn tight, honey.”

Pakiramdam ko’y mawawasak ang lamesa kung nasaan kami nakapatong nung mabilis siyang gumalaw. Namumuo ang pawis sa aking noo at tanging ungol at paghampas ng aming katawan ang maririnig sa buong silid. Nang masanay ako sa kanyang kahabaan ay ako na mismo ang sumasalubong sa kanyang mga ulos.

“Terrence, more! Fuck me hard!”

Tumawa lamang siya nang nakakaloko at mas lalong binilisan ang kilos. I’m literally catching my breath as he continues to pump his massive cock inside of me. My knees began to hurt, but I didn’t mind. All I could feel was his length moving in and out of me.

“I’m going to cum! Fuck! Fuck!”
he says as he continues to curse.

“Oh my gosh!”
iyon na lamang ang nasabi ko nang maramdaman mainit niyang punla sa loob ko.

He kissed my nape while pulling out his shaft from me. I was exhausted, but seeing his striking face made me feel better. Akmang aangkinin niya ulit ako nang makarinig kami ng sunod-sunod na katok mula sa labas.

“Mama? Dada?”

Nanlaki ang mga mata namin ng mapagtanto kung sino ang kumakatok. Tinulungan ako ni Terrence tumayo at mabilis na dinampot ang damit namin na nagkalat sa lapag. Matapos kaming makapagbihis ay ako na ang nagbukas ng pinto.

I smiled awkwardly when I saw Terrence’s mother, Mrs. Madalane Rossett, carrying Sylvester, my three-year-old son whom we adopted after our wedding. She appears to be stressed, but I’m sure she’s having fun bonding with her grandson.

“Did we, by chance, disrupt your work?”
Mrs. Rossett is now teasing me with her stares.

Naunahan ako ni Terrence na kargahin ang aming anak bago nagsalita,
“No, mom, you didn’t bother us. We just made a new sibling for Sylvester so he wouldn’t feel lonely. Do you want a sister, son?”

“Yes, dada! I want a baby sister!”
Sylvester chirped as he drew me in for a hug with Terrence.

Mrs. Rossett just shook her head and hugged us as well. It’s strange how she changed after I and Terrence got Sylvester. I could feel her warmth now that she was no longer a cold woman from before.

“Mama, Dada, Lola Lane, Lola Angela, Tita Lorriane, and your squad, Mama, I love all po!”
Sylvester cheered in delight.

All three of us chuckled.
“And we love you so much too!”

Growing up, I never imagined myself having a family of my own, let alone a relationship that would last this long. My entire world will revolve around the love of my life, just as the earth revolves around the sun.

My World Revolves Around You
