CHAPTER SIX
Ilang beses pang nagtawag si Angelo bago nya narinig na isinara na ni Tristan ang gate.
Nakakunot ang noo nito nang muling bumalik sa loob at lalong nadagdagan nang makitang pangalawang lata na ng beer ang iniinom nya.
“That bad huh.” May panunuyang wika nito.
“I need this.” She almost slurred her words and Tristan cursed. “Bakit hindi mo sinabing nandito ako?” she was curious.
“He doesn’t look like he wants to talk.” Lumapit si Tristan upang kunin ang lata ng beer na agad nyang iniwas. She giggled.
“Thanks…”
Naupo si Tristan sa kalapit na upuan. “Wanna talk about it?” concern was written all over his handsome face. She touched his face and felt him froze.
“You have a sensual face…” Ang daliri nya ay naglandas sa kilay ng binata patungo sa ilong, pababa sa labi. “Why don’t you just kiss me…” hinawakan ni Tristan ang kamay nya.
“You’re an attractive woman, Lena. But you’re drunk. And I’m not taking advantage.” Ibinaba nito ang kamay nya.
Tumawa sya. “I’m not drunk. This is the right thing to do…this is a brilliant idea.” Angelo wanted a virgin bride and he hates Tristan. It would bruise his ego bigtime.
Hinubad nya ang salamin sa mata. Tumayo sya at muling lumagok ng beer pagkatapos ay humarap kay Tristan habang binubuksan ang butones ng suot na blouse. She laughed when Tristan gaped at her.
“Hindi ako ang kasintahan mo.”
“Alam ko. At hindi ko gagawin kung ikaw sya.”
“So, my stepbrother’s wife to be is promiscuous.” Nanunuyang wika nito. Hindi na nya napansin ang pagtukoy nito kay Angelo bilang stepbrother. She unhook her skirt and let it fall on the floor.
“Ito na ang pagkakataon mong makabawi, wouldn’t you take this chance?” Pilit nyang nilakasan ang loob sa kabila ng disgustong nakikita sa mukha nito.
Ilang sandali itong hindi sumagot at nais na nyang umatras mula sa matinding kahihiyan. She was standing in her bra and panties sa harap ng estrangherong ito. Finally he stood up.
“Why not…” he said and claimed her lips in a punishing kiss. Ang isang kamay nito ay nasa batok nya at ang isang kamay ay nasa gilid ng mukha nya.
Tristan meant to punish her boldness with the kiss. Instead tila sya nasa disyerto at si Lena ang tubig. She is as sweet as she looks. Sweet as he imagined. And he can’t get enough of just kissing her. Batid nyang nalasing ito mula sa dalawang latang beer at hindi nya gustong mag take advantage. Marahan syang kumalas at minasdan ang mukha nito. Nakapikit ito at ang mga labi ay nakaawang na tila naghihintay na muling hagkan. “Stop this, Lena. Magpahinga ka na. You’re just drunk and lonely.” And to his surprise, she cried. Alam nyang galing ito sa pag iyak nang pagbuksan nya ng gate kanina. She was a mess. Bahagyang magulo ang buhok at namumugto ang mga mata. Nagulat sya nang kumuha ito ng beer lalo at halatang hindi naman ito sanay uminom. And then Angelo came. He knew it was a lover’s quarrel at dapat ay hindi sya makialam but he saw Angelo’s face. He knew that look. And he was suddenly protective of Lena.
And when Lena offered herself, he was pleased and disgusted at the same time. Pleased with the idea that Lena wants him and disgusted because she is drunk and he wants to take advantage.
At ngayong umiiyak ito, hindi nya alam ang gagawin. Suddenly she looks sober.
“You don’t want me?”
“Lena…” he was lost for words.
“Kagaya ka rin ni Angelo…ni Odessa, pinagtatawanan nyo akong lahat… you think I’m stupid”
“What…?” hindi nya maunawaan ang ibig nitong sabihin.
“Please Tristan….I need this…Please make me feel wanted…” niyakap nito ang sarili. She is almost naked in her bra and panties. “Please don’t make me beg…”
“Damn it.” He reached for her and kiss her again. Slowly this time. Giving her the chance to back out or to return his kisses. She did the latter. Hinapit nya ito pahulma sa katawan nya. His need for her now obvious. “Last chance, sweetheart. There is no turning back. You have to stop me now.” He whispered in between kisses.
Lena moaned. Tristan was gently nipping her ear habang ang isang kamay nito ay nasa beywang nya at ang isa ay gumagawa ng masarap na landas sa tagiliran nya.
“Last chance, sweetheart. There is no turning back. You have to stop me now.” He whispered. She opened her eyes and meet his gaze. It never felt like this with Angelo. Nagsisimula pa lang syang hagkan ng dating kasintahan ay nais na nya itong itulak. With Tristan,it feels beautiful,feels natural.
“No…”She whispered back and kiss his lips. Tristan groaned and kiss her back. Hungrily. Deeper. He probe her mouth open and dart his tongue inside. Tasting and sucking.
He unhooked her bra and cupped her breast gently.
“Perfect.” He said before putting one nipple on his warm mouth. Mahina syang napaungol at ibinaon ang mga daliri sa buhok ng binata. Ibinaba nito ang huling saplot nya at tila tuksong pinadaanan ng daliri ang pagitan ng kanyang mga hita. Mahigpit syang napahawak sa mga balikat nito. He straightened at madali syang nabuhat paakyat sa kwarto sa itaas. Isinubsob nya ang mukha sa dibdib nito. She was shy yet excitement ripples through her veins.
Marahan syang inihiga ng binata sa kama at tila nahihipnotismong
pinanood nya ito sa paghuhubad ng kasuotan. “Aren’t we going to turn off the lights?” nahihiyang tanong nya.
“No.” ani Tristan. His intense gaze sent shivers down her spine.
Her gaze travels mula sa malapad nitong dibdib, flat stomach at sa pinong balahibo mula sa pusod nito na gumagawa ng daan pababa. He was well endowed. Bagaman walang karanasan ay hindi naman sya ignorante. Muling lumipat ang mga mata nya sa mukha nito. A small smile played his lips as he joined her. He was again kissing her endlessly when his fingers settled between her thighs. She inhaled sharply when his fingers probed and played. He gently bit one nipple and she called his name. He chuckled bago pinagpalit ang posisyon nila. She was now astriding him while his fingers continue playing and probing between her legs while his other hand is busy with her nipple. She was mindless from pleasure.
“You’re ready for me…I can’t wait any longer…”He said and gently raised her hips. His sex seeking entrance.
Nanlaki ang mata nya nang mahulaan ang gagawin ng binata. “No…wait…” ang protesta nya ay nauwi sa impit na tili nang maramdaman ang hapdi. Tristan was surprised. Agad nitong binago ang posisyon nila. “I have no idea…Do you want me to stop?” nag aalalang wika nito.
She can feel him throbbing inside her and it makes a delicious sensation. “No…” she raised her hips a little to adjust and he groaned. He made gentle thrusts until they found a rhythm and she is writhing under him.
She screamed his name as she reached her peak and Tristan bit her shoulder with a low growl. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep when Tristan lay spent beside her. He pulled her closer as he drifts to sleep.
Nagising sya na may bahagyang liwanag ng pumapasok sa silid. Tristan is still sleeping beside her. Marahan syang kumalas mula sa pagkakayakap nito at tinungo ang banyo. Mabilis syang naligo at balak na umalis habang tulog pa ang binata. Nasa harap sya ng salamin nang pumasok si Tristan. Naked.
Humigpit ang hawak nya sa buhol ng tuwalya kasabay ng pamumula. Nang walang epekto ng alak, wala ang confidence nya na harapin ang binata. She’s supposed to leave while he is still sleeping gaya ng mga napapanood at nababasa nya, she thought sarcastically. Ang isang kamay ng binata ay pumaikot sa beywang nya at ang isang kamay ay nasa buhol ng tuwalya na hindi nya binibitiwan. Tila sila nagta- tug of war.
“No?” his smile playful as he lowered his mouth to kiss the side of her neck.
“No…” mabuway nyang protesta. Sumandal sya rito kasabay ng pagtaas nito sa laylayan ng tuwalya and his expert fingers found what he’s looking for. Puno ng pagnanasa ang mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kanya sa salaming nasa harapan nila at ipinikit nya ang mga mata sa nararamdamang hiya. Traydor ang katawan nya sa kabila ng pagtanggi nya at alam ni Tristan iyon.
“Open your eyes.” He commanded and as she did she felt him inside her.
She sighed her pleasure as Tristan was thrusting fully from behind. There was something wild and erotic watching their images in the mirror. At nang tila mauubusan na sya ng hininga ay huminto ang binata.
“No please…” hindi nya makilala ang tinig na lumabas sa kanya.
Iniikot sya ni Tristan at iniupo sa counter. His kisses travelling from her neck to her breast and lower still. Inipit nya ang mga hita nang pumuwesto si Tristan sa pagitan nya.
She protested but Tristan was stronger. She stiffened as he kiss the insides of her thighS. When his mouth found her silkiness, she was gripping his shoulders. Hindi nagtagal at tila sya lobong sumabog at nawalan ng hangin. She was gasping for breath when Tristan straightened, held her hip and thrusts deep.
Their cries mingled as they reach the oblivion from pleasure. She opened her eyes and was almost disoriented that they were still in the bathroom. Inalalayan syang makatayo ni Tristan at sa nanginginig na mga tuhod ay pinulot nya ang tuwalyang kanina lamang ay nakatapi pa sa kanya.
“Let’s have breakfast together. Magsashower lang ako. Wanna join me?” muli ay may init na dulot ang imbitasyon ng binata.
Nakangiting itinulak nya ito papasok sa shower. “I’ll prepare breakfast.” Aniya at lumabas na.
Muli nyang isinuot ang mga hinubad na damit kahapon at bumaba upang maghanda ng almusal. May nakita syang isang grocery bag na hindi pa nabubuksan at may nakitang isang tray ng itlog, ilang de lata at tinapay. Nagluto sya ng Spam, egg at toasted bread bago nagsalang ng kape sa coffeemaker.
Tahimik sila habang kumakain at naiilang sya sa mga titig ni Tristan.
“I have an early appointment today but I’ll be back early. We’ll talk pagbalik ko.”
Tumango sya bagaman walang planong sundin ito.
Tumayo ito. “Aren’t you going to say something?”
“Thanks? I enjoyed last night?” napangiwi sya as how she might have sounded. And Tristan laughed to her embarrassment. He cupped her face and gently kiss her lips.
“No. I enjoyed last night. Hangga kanina.” He teased as she blushed. “Wait for me, okay? Babalik ako agad.”
Muli syang tumango.
Maingat syang sumilip sa kabilang unit at nang masiguradong wala na roon si Angelo ay agad nyang kinuha ang mga gamit. Dahil nasa maleta pa naman halos lahat ng damit nya ay mabilis syang natapos. Bumaba sya at palabas na ng pinto nang may maalala. Inilabas nya mula sa shoulder bag ang wedding rings nila at kasama ng suot nyang engagement ring ay inilapag sa mesa. Kumuha sya ng papel at sumulat:
The wedding is off. Tell your mother I’m no longer a virgin. Tristan made sure of that. My lawyer will contact you.
Nais nyang maguilty na idinamay nya si Tristan pero nais nyang gamitin ang pagkakataon para saktan ang pride ni Angelo kung hindi man ang puso nito. Lumabas sya ng unit ni Angelo na walang balak hintayin pa si Tristan. Wala silang kailangang pag usapan. Bagaman ipinagpapasalamat nya na sa sandali ng kalungkutan ay naroon si Tristan. Pero hanggang doon na lamang ang kabanata nila ni Tristan. People don’t instantly fall inlove just because they had sex. Nalulungkot sya na hindi nya napanatili ang pagkababae para sa lalaking mapapangasawa ngunit hindi nya pinagsisisihang kay Tristan ipinagkaloob iyon. Mapait nyang sinulyapan ang unit ni Tristan bago pinara ang dumaang taxi.
“Sa Jac Liner ho tayo, manong.” Aniya. May isang lugar syang naisip na hindi sya masusundan ni Angelo.
