Vixen 1: The Secretary (TAGALOG)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

(Veronica's POV)

"I'm sorry, This will be a little painful."

I looked straight into his eyes while gasping for an air. Our naked bodies are glued to each other, skin to skin, flesh to flesh. I groaned in frustration after I felt the burning sensation of desire filling my whole existence as if the only thing to reduce the heat is to rub myself into him. Lalo akong nag-init ng dumikit iyon sa aking mga hita. Double H. Huge and Hard.

Padausdos kong pinadapo yung mga daliri ko sa pinong-pino nyang panga na ngayo'y punong-puno na ng pawis dala ng init na nagmumula saming dalawa. I don't mind him being on top of me, I can do it in any position anyway.

"Go on, honey. I can endure the pain."

I moaned as he bit his own lip while looking at me. Hindi ko napigilan yung sarili kong mapakapit sa matitigas nyang braso habang ang mga kamay nya'y humihimas sa maliit kong bewang.

"Then be ready," He leaned beside my face, "I'll penetrate you so hard that you will never ever forget."

Muli akong umungol dahil doon, "That is so... hot..."

"Vero..." He said.

After that I felt an unbearable pain. It's like he's tearing me apart!

"s**t! It hurts!"

My tears are falling down to my cheeks, He just smiled and started kissing me hard while adjusting himself inside me. I love how he move his tongue inside my mouth and sucking my lips as if he only wants it to be his. Then he's starting to pound himself to me, faster and harder.

"Oh Seph! Harder!"

I don't know where to rest my head. Nahihibang ako sa sarap. I don't even know that he can make me feel so good.

"Vero. Hmnn..."

I can't explain the feeling. I want to explode. I want to burst. The heat inside of me is like a wildfire spreading so fast that nothing could make me cool down.

"Sephhh~"

Napapikit ako habang patuloy syang bumabayo sa harap ko.

"Okay lang ba sya?"

What? What is he talking about?

"Yes. She's fine."

Wait. Where did this voice come from?

"P-pero tinatawag nya ko. B-baka binabangungot na sya."

"Don't worry, She's just wet dreaming about you."

"W-wet dreaming?"

A wet dream?!

And as if on cue, biglang bumukas yung mga mata ko at natulala nang makita ang kulay pink na kisame ng kwartong tinutuluyan ko. I'm here, laying on my bed, on our presidential suit. s**t, kagigising ko lang ba?

Agad akong naupo to roam my eyes around the room, then my vision landed on the pair of eyes watching me. Isang naniningkit na mata at isang nag-aalalang mata.

Si Kuyang nakasimangot at katabi si Seph na nakatitig saken habang may bitbit na tasa ng umuusok na kape.

My eyes widen in shock. Oh em gee, Did I just dreamed about Seph and myself having s*x?! s**t! It felt so real! I thought it's real!

"Damn it, Sayang." I whispered out of disappointment.

"Get up young lady, It's already twelve fifty-eight in the afternoon." Strikto nyang saad habang isa-isang dinadampot yung damit na suot ko kagabi at unan kong nakakalat sa sahig, I changed my clothes kasi before I sleep, "Breakfast is ready."

I scratch my nape as I stare at my older brother busy picking up my pillows that fell off the ground. I raised my hand as if I'm reciting to my prof.

"Kuya? Can I sleep for five more minutes? Itutuloy ko lang yung panaginip ko---OUCH!" What the hell? May bakal ba yung binato nyang unan ko? It hurts! My arm damn hurts! He toss the pillow on my arm!

"Shut up and get up or else."

"Kuya pleaseeee!"

"Veronica, I'm warning you."

"But I'm dreaming about having s*x with Seph---AH!" This time sa mukha ako nasapul nung unan.

"What the f**k is your problem, Veronica Ruth? You're embarrassing Seph! Can't you just keep it to yourself nalang?!"

Napanguso ako dahil galit na si Kuya. His veins on his forehead are showing, parang yung sa mga anime, like it's a sign that he's really really mad. Teka, ayaw ba nyang nagshe-share ako ng mga feelings and thoughts ko sa kanya? We're siblings, right? Dapat nga ay hindi lang ako ang nagkekwento sa kanya, It should be vice versa! *Pout* Unfair. He's sometimes way too conservative!

"Fix yourself. We'll wait for you in the edge of the resort near the pool." He said before leaving.

Napa-igtad ako sa lakas ng bagsak ng pinto, naisipan kong humiga ulit dahil doon. Geez, He's so uptight. One of the reasons why he's still single despite of having good wealth, looks and body. Geez, bakit kasi di nagmana sa akin tong si Kuya ko? Hmn? He's already thirty plus, he should be a loving husband already.

Nilingon ko naman si Seph na nasa gilid ko. He's so cute wearing a board shorts and simple t-shirt with a  teary eyed chibi pig! Oh my gahd! I just want to cuddle and pinch his cheeks all day!

He's still looking at me innocently so I gave him a smirk. Tumagilid ako ng higa at sinadyang ililis pababa ang kumot, only to expose my oh so flawless white legs for him. Mukhang nagulat naman sya at bigla pang namula na tila kamatis ang mga pisngi.

"Goodmorning babe, let's make my dreams come true." I seductively said before winking at him.

Kumurap-kurap sya, "U-uhm... Y-yung kape mo... B-baka lumamig..." He carefully put the cup on the bedside table before pointing the door behind him, "H-hintayin nalang k-kita sa b-baba." Then he went off.

My smirk fade, napapadyak din ako sa inis dahil doon. Ugh! Kailan ba tatablan sakin yang lalaking yan?!

***

"Good morning people." I greeted as soon as I sit on the chair designated for me.

Our table is arranged near the pool, mula sa pwesto namin ay kitang-kita ang beach na kasalukuyang nililinis at kasabay na nililigpit yung mga ginamit kagabi. The sun rays are beautifully reflecting on the waters of the ocean, cold breeze of the air, swaying coconut trees. Ah~ Everything is so perfect. We are not that much away from the beach, kitang-kita ko mula sa kinauupuan ko yung mga bisitang nag-e-enjoy na maligo sa beach and also the people sunbathing.

I began to frown when I noticed that my father is not here, maski si Seph. It's only me and my mom, she's already eating.

"Where's Seph?" Nilibot ko yung paningin ko pero hindi ko sya makita, "Where are they? Mom?"

She wipe the few crumbs of the food on the side of her lips by the table napkin, "They went to fish, honey."

My eyes widen, "Fish?!" Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko, "Like, what the heck mommy?! kuya Chrome's resort has a fish?! May fish dito?!" Referring to Chryseis's older brother who owns this resort.

"Syempre naman." Tumango-tango pa sya bago uminom, "But not exactly here, okay? They rode one of your kuya Chrome's available yacht and went not quiet too far."

OMG! They went to fish?! As in mangisda?! My gahd those men! Naligo't nag-toothbrush lang ako nangisda na agad sila?! Ganon ba ako katagal maligo?! May fish sa beach na ito?! I didn't even know that! But that's unfair! I crossed my arms out of irritation, they didn't even bother to take me with them! They are so nakakainis!

I started to eat my food. Arggghhh. Nakakainis talaga! Nakaka-irita! Kaasar!

"Don't make such a long face, sweetie. Fishing is not your thing." Mom said teasing me a lot more making me groaned in frustration.

"That's just unfair mom! Atleast they could've ask me if I want to come! Sinama nila si Seph pero ako hindi?" Masama ang loob na tinusok ko yung medyo malaking sausage na nasa plato ko but she just rolled her eyes on me.

"My gosh, Veronica. How old are you? Eight? Stop throwing those tantrums, you don't even like the scent of the ocean breeze, may motion sickness ka sa mga barko or any transportation vehicle in the water tas sasabihin mo dapat kang isama?"

"But my secretary is in there?! I want to go too!"

"What the hell? Are you that clingy? Gosh, kanino ka ba nagmana na bata ka?" Ngumiwi sya na tila nadidismaya but I don't care!

"I still want to go with them!" Mom didn't bother to answer but glared at me instead, "Mommy! Bakit di mo ko suportahan? Sino bang anak mo? Tsaka are they that close already?! I thought Dad's going to kill him! Mom!"

"Shut up! Tumigil ka sa kaharutan mo kundi sasabunutan kita!"

Napilitan kong itikom yung bibig ko and tried to focus not to bl*wjob the sausage while imagining it as Seph's jumbo hotdog. When my mom says that she will pull my hair she will really do it. Hindi naman sa masakit na paraan, she always do that in a kidding way.

Ang killjoy nila. I just want to be with Seph even though we've been together last night. Kinikilig pa rin ako doon sa pagsayaw nya sa akin, that romantic scene is still playing in my head. That was the first time that someone asked me to dance because I've never danced with a guy before. Sa sobrang kilig ko kagabi eh ni hindi ako nakatulog agad, dagdag pa doon na hinatid nya ako sa kwarto ko before going to his own room. He always do what a gentleman does.

"Oh look, here they are."

Parang nabuhay yung dugo ko ng sabihin nya yon kaya nilingon ko yung direksyon na tinuturo ni mommy. I was about to smile but I can't because my jaw literally dropped after my eyes glued on Seph's shining shimmering wet abs.

His shirt is now hanging on his right shoulder while his left hand is holding a steel bucket. Water is keep on dripping from his hair down to his abs and the muscles on his arms are flexing everytime he moves a little bit. Ngiting-ngiti syang kumaway sa akin na tila inosenteng batang may nagawang maganda pero yung katawan nya parang gusto akong ibalya pahiga sa kama. Basang-basa sya.

He's not the only one that's wet, ako din nag-we-wet na.

Nahigit ko yung hininga ko nang suklayin nya pataas ang buhok nya sabay ngiti. Damn, nagpa-palpitate yung puso ko! My cheeks are now blushing, what the hell?! It's like my heart wants to jump out from my ribcage!

"Hi, kumain ka na?" Bati nya bago ibinaba ang timba at naupo sa katabi kong upuan, "Nainom mo ba yung kape mo?"

I nodded unconsciously while scanning his whole godly body. Nakagat ko yung labi ko, gosh, hanggang ngayon nacu-curious pa rin ako kung paano sya ginawa ng mga magulang nya and why the hell did he live as a provincial boy?! He's making my heart to beat fast!

"A-ahm... Yeah... Uhm..." Sinubo ko ng buo yung natitirang sausage but my eyes unconsciously landed on his bulge. s**t. Ang laki-laki. Bumabakat.

"Buti naman. Ako kasi yung nagtimpla non." He chuckled.

I felt the sausage gagging me up kaya nanginginig yung kamay ko nang kunin ko yung baso para uminom ng tubig. OMG! How can he do that?! How can he chuckle and then sexy at the same time?! Plus his body! My gahd! Nakakadistract naman?! Bat naman ganon?! Muntik pa akong mabulunan! I wonder if his jumbo buddy there can gag me too. Namula ako, maybe he can, malaki sya eh, I can feel it.

My kuya and daddy took a sit beside mom's chair, they started talking. I pouted when I saw how happy my dad is, looks like he's enjoying Seph's company.

"I never really thought that we'll got a lot of fish, just look at the steel bucket, hon! It's full!" Dad said with a hint of excitement.

"Hala oo nga! How did you manage to get those?"

"Seph do the deed."

Hindi ko naman napigilang mapalingon doon sa ibinabang timba ni Seph. WTF? Puno nga! And it's not just fish!

"Is that... is that a sea urchin?" Pointing to the black spikey creature.

"Yes." Kuya answered in his usual flat tone, "Your secretary dove under the water and stab it with a sharp steel rod from Chrome's yacht."

"You dove?" I gasped before looking at him, "You know how to dive?"

"Oo naman, nangingisda ako doon sa amin noon."

I leaned on his ear, smirking, "Where else can you dive?" Sinadya kong magtunog malandi, trying to seduce him. Gustong-gusto ko kasi syang inaasar, he's always blushing like a red tomato.

He smiled and leaned on my ear too before whispering, "Depende sa gusto ko. Pwedeng sa ilalim ng dagat, pwedeng sa ilalim mo."

My body froze after hearing his seductive voice saying those malicious words right beside my ear. All those words that he said send chills on my spine yet made me feel excited at the same time. It made my heart beat even faster. D-did he just talk dirty to me?

He just smiled innocently before started talking to my family, as if he didn't say anything. What the f**k?

Sinubukan kong itutok yung atensyon ko sa natitirang pagkain sa plato ko na sausages and eggs but he's distracting me without him knowing. Nakakainis! Kinakawayan ako ng abs nyang nangingintab sa basa! And look at his hair, it's brush up! He brush his hair with his own fingers up. Grrr. Sinusubukan nya yung libido ko, if I reached my limit naku talagang ikukulong ko sya sa kwarto ko!

Some bitches pass us by and I tried to supress myself from rolling my eyes in irritation, what the hell with this bitches trying to flirt with my secretary? They keep on f*****g giggling, halatang nagpapapansin! They are also eyeing my brother. Mga malalandi!

"Stop showing off your abs to everyone!" I hissed before throwing the towel on him. Thank goodness that my family didn't even hear me.

"Okay, salamat." Lalo syang ngumiti matapos saluhin yung twalya.

Inirapan ko lang sya para hindi mahalata yung pamumula ng mukha ko. Ugh. Why is he making me feel strange like this?

(Seph's POV)

Matapos nung sinabi kong iyon ay hindi na ulit kumibo si Veronica. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang hindi mangiti dahil doon, tama nga ang sinabi ng tatay nya. Natatawa tuloy ako, bigla nalang kasi syang nagsungit.

Binilinan kasi nila ako kanina habang nangingisda kami sa yateng minamaneho ng kuya nya. Pinilit kasi nila akong isama kanina, wala lang gusto lang akong isama ni Mr. Verdan dahil mamimingwit daw kame. Kahit di tuloy ako marunong gumamit ng pamingwit ay sumama ako, mas sanay naman kasi ako gumamit ng net kapag mangingisda.

"PINASASAKIT ba lagi ng anak ko yung ulo mo?"

"P-po?" Napalingon ako agad sa tatay ni Veronica na naka-upo sa tabi ko habang nakahawak ang mga kamay namin sa pamingwit. Medyo madami na din yung nakukuha namin pero kung net ang gamit namin eh malamang higit pa doon ang nakuha namin.

Seryosong-seryoso yung mukha nya kaya medyo kinabahan ako, kaya ba nya ako sinama para makausap ng masinsinan?

"I know how stubborn my daughter is, sana hindi sumasakit yung ulo mo sa kakulitan nya."

"Ah." Natawa ako, "Hindi naman po masyado. Medyo m-mahalay lang po yung a-anak nyo." Pagtatapat ko sa kanya.

Akala ko ay magre-reak sya at magagalit sa akin dahil sa sinabi kong yon pero hindi, bagkus ay bumuntong hininga sya at napahilamos sa mukha na tila inaasahan na nyang marinig iyong mula sa akin.

"Did you heard that Vince?" Tawag nya sa panganay, "You're sister is causing too much trouble to her secretary!"

"I know." Sagot naman nito na syang nasa loob at nagmamaniobra ng yate.

"Kanino ba kasi nagmana ang batang yon?! Puro kalokohan ang ginagawa!"

Napaigtad ako sa bigla nyang saad na iyon, para kasi syang galit at nanggigigil na ewan. Muntik ko ng mahigit yung hininga ko sa sobrang kaba nang padabog syang naglalagay ng pang-pain sa hook na nasa dulo ng pamingwit nya.

"Ahm... W-wag na po kayong magalit, mabait naman po ang anak nyo. T-tsaka hindi naman po sya sumosobra---"

"Wag mo ng ipagtanggol yung anak ko, I know how naughty she is! She's hard headed! Naiintindihan kong nasa tamang edad na sya para sa mga ganong klase ng bagay but can't she act a little mature?! Can't that wait until marriage?!"

"Ah o-oo. O-okay po. O-opo." Tinikom ko na yung bibig ko. Baka mamaya ako pa ang mapag-buntungan ni Mr. Verdan.

Maka-ilang beses syang pumalatak bago nagpatuloy sa pagrereklamo. Tahimik naman akong nakikinig sa mga pinagsasasabi nya.

"Tsk. Kahit anong sermon sa kanya hindi naman yun makikinig," Nilingon nya ako, "but I know how you can counter attack her naughtiness."

Namilog yung mga mata ko sa sinabi nya. A-ano daw?"

"C-counter attack?"

Tumango sya, "Yes. Counter attack."

Kahit naguguluhan ay naki-oo nalang ako sa kanya. Wala naman talaga akong maintindihan, una sa lahat, bakit kailangan kong mag-counter attack? Alam kong mahalay si Veronica pero tulad nga ng sinasabi ko, nalilimitahan naman nya kahit papano.

"If she tried to seduce you, seduce her back."

"P-pero h-hindi ko---" Kinilabutan ako ng ngumisi sya. Nakakatakot, parang may masama syang binabalak.

"Give her a dose of her own medicine, Seph." Biglang sumeryoso yung mukha nya, "And help her move on from that scumbag Jace. Don't worry, you have my blessing."

NAILING ako nang maalala ko yung pinag-usapan naming yun kanina. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa payo na yon ni Mr. Verdan pero nang sakyan ko nga yung trip ni Veronica eh nanahimik naman. 'Give her a dose of her own medicine'? Di na masama, mukhang epektibo naman kahit papano hahaha.

Ngayon ay inaayos ko na yung mga gamit ko dahil uuwi na kami. Nakaligo at nakapagpalit na ako ng damit, inaayos ko nalang yung natitira kong mga gamit sa bag kasama yung mga binigay ni Theo sa akin.

"Seph? C'mon!"

"Heto na, lalabas na." Isinara ko na yung zipper ng bag bago tuluyang lumabas.

Nakatayo sya sa labas, hawak isang bagong branded na bag. Mukha nanaman syang kinulang sa tela sa suot nyang dress, bukod sa maikli ay hapit pa kaya talagang kitang-kita yung kurbada ng katawan nya. Tapos ang taas pa ng takong. Pulang-pula pa yung labi na akala mo humalik sa dugo at yung kulay kahel nyang buhok ay medyo kulot yung dulo. Hindi sya CEO kung manamit, para syang papunta lagi sa isang party.

Umirap sya, mukhang naiinip kakahintay. Kanina pa sya nagtataray.

"What took you so long?"

"Pasensya na, kanina ka pa ba naghihintay?"

"What do you think?" Muli nanaman syang umirap na may kasama pang paghawi sa buhok, "How dare you make me wait here? Tsk."

Nauna syang naglakad patungo sa elevator kaya sumunod nalang ako. Wala namang ibang tao kaya agad kaming sumakay. Tumutunog yung takong ng sapatos nya kakapadyak sa sahig, senyales ng naiinip. Galit ba sya saken? Hindi naman ako ganon katagal na nag-ayos ng gamit ah.

Hinawakan ko sya sa siko nya para maiharap sya ng konti sa akin. Napansin ko naman ang pamumula ng pisngi nya na naging dahilan ng pagkunot ng noo ko, may sakit ba sya? Parang umiinit yung mukha nya. Madalas syang namumula ah.

"Galit ka ba sakin?"

"A-ako?" Tila gulat pa nyang sabi, lalong namula ang pisngi.

Tumango ako, "Oo. Ang sungit mo kasi."

Ayan nanaman yung irap nya na parang gusto ng gumulong ng mata nya sa sahig kaka-irap, "I'm not mad. Inis lang."

Ngumiti ako at hinarap sya lalo sa akin, lumaki naman yung mata nya at tinitigan ako.

"Sorry na, hindi ko na uulitin. Wag ka ng mainis saken." Hingi ko ng tawad.

Ilang segundo nya muna akong tinitigan bago umubo-ubo.

"F-fine." Bumuga sya ng hangin at nag-iwas ng tingin, "Siguraduhin mo lang."

"Opo, boss."

Lalong nangamatis sa pula yung mukha nya. Napapangiti ako sa reaksyon nya. Bakit ba sya nininerbyos? Hindi ko naman sya inaano ah.

Tumunog yung elevator kahit wala pa kami sa floor namin, bumukas iyon at may pumasok na tatlong babae.

Hindi ko sila kilala pero nginitian nila ako at nag-'hi' sa akin kaya binati ko din. Natigilan lang ako ng marinig ko ang pag-palatak ni Veronica na syang katabi ko, naka-ekis mga braso nya sa dibdib nya. Kunot nanaman yung noo nya at ngayo'y namumula naman yata sa inis. Teka, ano nanaman bang ginawa ko?

"Uhm, excuse me?" Pukaw nung isa sa mga babae sa akin, blonde ito at mukhang foreigner, nakalahad yung kamay nya sa akin, "I'm Natalie."

"Ah, hello po." Kinamayan ko sya at nginitian, "Ako si Seph."

Kinagat nya yung labi nya habang nakangiti din, yung mga kaibigan nya din ay nagpakilala at nakipag-kamay sa akin. Naghagikgikan sila at nagtanong pa ng konti sa akin na maayos ko namang sinagot, naputol lang ng tumikhim ng malakas si Veronica na naging dahilan para mapatingin kami sa kanya.

Naka-ismid sya habang kunwaring nakatingin sa pinto ng elevator. Napapagitnaan kasi namin sya nung tatlong babae, siguro ay naiipit na sya.

"Do you have a problem?" Tanong nung isa sa kanila.

Pinagmasdan ko si Veronica na mag-ikot nanaman ng mata na tila kanina pa naiirita, tinaasan pa nya ng kilay yung babae.

"Do I look like I have a problem?"

Mukhang iritable nga, sarkastiko sya sumagot eh.

"Maybe. You didn't even applied your lipstick properly, so maybe you have a problem." Anya ng babae nang nakangisi. Natawa din ang dalawa nyang kasama.

Nakita ko namang tila natigilan si Veronica at mukhang napahiya, doon ko lang napansin na medyo may lagpas nga yung lipstick nya sa gilid, yung kabila eh kulang.

Tinitigan ko sya, namumula nanaman yung mukha nya, siguro ay dahil naman sa pagkapahiya.

(Veronica's POV)

I tried to make myself calm and cool, trying to ignore the fact that I failed to apply my lipstick. I can see it  clearly on my reflection on the elevator door. Ugh! I bet my face is now tomato red because of embarrassment! This b***h, she purposely embarrass me in front of her friends! Anong tingin nya sakin? Hindi marunong maglagay ng lipstick?! Dumbass! I know how! I just can't believe that it's smudged on the side!

Nakakainis, I want to scratch their faces until they bleed! I want to grab their hair and smack their heads off the walls!

Ang lakas pa ng tawa ng mga gaga, akala ba nila hindi ko sila nakilala?! They are the bitches that keeps on eyeing Seph earlier! Stupid bitches?! Are they trying to test my bitchiness?! Damn them! Akala yata nila papatalo ako sa kanila?! Kahit pagtulungan pa nila akong tatlo, wala akong pakielam! Wala silang karapatan na ipahiya ang isang Verdan na katulad ko!

I was about to answer this foreign b***h but an arm suddenly snaked around my waist and pulled me while facing this three bitches.

Then I felt the familiar soft lips kissing my own lips. He's trailing kisses on my cheeks, nose and jaw, trying to make more smudges of my lipstick on my face.

My eyes widen when I felt his tongue licking my lips as if trying to make my mouth open. Napanganga tuloy ako ng wala sa oras, giving his tongue an entrance inside my mouth. He brushed my hair by his other free hand while kissing me torridly. I closed my eyes, savouring this ecstastic unexpected moment. Kasabay ng malakas at mabilis na t***k ng puso ko.

I'm trying to suppress my moans because of his aggressive kiss. He rapidly explored it with the use of his tongue, Goodness grace! His tongue is really a fuckin sinner! I can feel the wetness of my strawberry between my legs and my knees are shaking! What the f**k is wrong with his kisses?! It's like he's shaking my whole existence just by kissing me torridly, para bang gutom na gutom sya habang hinahalikan ako.

Seconds later, he stopped and pulled away his lips from me. Napadilat ako at napatingin sa kanya na nakatingin na sa tatlong panget na toh na ngayo'y nakatitig sa amin, shock and disbelief is written on their ugly faces yet Seph just smiled sweetly at them.

"Pasensya na, kasalanan ko kung bakit kumalat yung lipstick nya." Nilingon nya ako at napakagat ako sa labi ko nang titigan nya iyon, he played with my lower lip with his right thumb and smirked that made me drop my jaw, "Labi ko kasi yung naglalagay ng lipstick sa kanya."

Wala ni isang nakasagot sa amin. Lumakas yung t***k ng puso ko nang humaplos yung kamay ni Seph mula sa bewang ko palagpas sa balakang ko tsaka humawak sa kanang kamay ko. Eksaktong tumunog yung elevator at lumitaw yung number ng floor ay marahan nya akong hinila palabas.

I can't take my eyes off on our hands where our fingers are intertwined to each other as if no one is allowed to separate us unless we said so. I bit my lip, trying to stop myself from smiling. I don't know, I'm confused yet happy at the same time. Naguguluhan ako.

"Oh my gosh! What happened to your face, anak?!"

"Sorry po kung natagalan kami, Mrs. Verdan. Inawat ko pa po kasi yung anak nyo makipag-away."

Wait---

"WHAT?!" Mom and I both exclaimed, nagkatinginan pa kame while she's giving me a 'Nagulat ka pa talaga?!' look. Like, duh?! Paanong hindi ako magugulat?! Eh hindi naman ako nakipag-away! I was just torturing them in my mind and I tried to fight with them but Seph interrupted me with a kiss! A MIND BLOWING TORRID KISS!

Dad examined me, ganun din si Kuya then sabay silang umiling-iling bago muling inayos yung gamit nila sa likod ng kotse. I pouted because of that, what the heck is that look for?! Yung mukha nilang dalawa kanina parang sinasabing sanay na silang marinig iyon?! Ugh. Ganon ba ako ka-warfreak hah?!

Nilingon ko si Seph na ngayo'y inosenteng nakangiti sa akin. Nakuuuuuu! Gusto ko syang batukan! Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin at akmang kukutusan sya when someone pinched me in my waist kaya napabitaw ako sa kanya.

"Ouch!" I gasped, looking at my mother in disbelief, "What the hell mom?!"

Instead of answering she just pulled some strands of my hair and started to scold me like, wtf? In front of Seph?! Seriously?!

***

"Veronica---"

"Don't talk to me."

I saw how he literally zipped his mouth and rest his body back to his seat. Finocus ko yung mata ko sa daan, I'm driving my own car na dinala ni Kuya yesterday. We parted ways dahil ihahatid ko pa si Seph sa cheap nyang barong-barong.

From my peripheral vision, nakita kong tumagilid sya paharap sa akin but I kept my stoic face. Ugh. Ang hirap pigilan na tignan sya.

"Galit ka nanaman ba saken?"

"What do you think?" I asked him back sarcastically.

He went silent for a minute so I took a glance on him, he's serious while thinking silently that made me groaned. Ano ba?! Hindi nya ba talaga alam kung bakit ako nagagalit?!

Maya-maya ay umiling sya ng naka kunot-noo, "Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit ka nagagalit saken."

Sakto ay nakarating na din kami sa tapat ng makipot na daan patungo sa bahay nya. I stopped the car faced him with a glare on my eyes. Mukhang nagulat naman sya at bahagya pang napa-atras.

"B-bakit a-ang sama ng t-tingin mo?"

"You're asking me why am I glaring at you?" I'm clenching my teeth as I point my face with my own finger, "YOU. RUINED. MY. MAKE-UP!"

He smudged my lipstick throughout my cheeks and jaws! Pati ilong ko meron! Hindi pa naman matte liptsick yon kundi shiny lipstick! Kaya naman pala hinila-hila at kinurot-kurot ako ni mommy sabay sabing 'Malandi ka talaga!' saken kanina! Pati buhok ko magulo! Sayang yung isang oras kong pagfa-foundation at pag-co-contour dahil pinunasan ko din! AAARGH!

He stared at me before letting out a heavy sigh, "Akala ko naman kung ano."

"Anong kung 'ano'?! Make-up ko ang pinag-uusapan natin dito!"

"Make up lang naman yon ah, wag ka ng magalit." He suddenly bit his lower lip that made me stop scolding him.

My cheeks went red again when I remembered the way how he kissed me back there in the elevator. Natunaw bigla yung galit at inis ko tsaka napalitan ng kung anong nakaka-excite na feeling. GRRRRRRRR!!! Unfair! How can he do that?! Melting my anger away just by biting his lips in front of me?! He's seducing me!

Umirap ako para matago yung pamumula ng mukha ko, ugh.

"Sorry na, hindi ko na uulitin."

"WHAT?! AT BAKIT HINDI MO NA UULITIN?!"

How dare he! I enjoyed that kiss tapos hindi na nya uulitin?! Matapos nyang lamutakin ng halik yung labi't mga pisngi, panga ko?! Sasabihin nyang hindi na nya uulitin?! STUPID!

He blinked so many times, "G-gusto mong sirain ko ulit yung make-up mo?"

Ako naman ang nakurap, "Oh. That." I crossed my arms and tried to make myself look angry again, "S-syempre ayoko!" I gulped before murmuring to myself, "Pero yung kiss gusto ko."

"Kailan mo ba gustong ulitin?"

Gulat ko syang nilingon. I expected him to look at me while smiling jokingly but he looked so serious instead. Napalunok ako sa sobrang intense ng tingin nya sa akin, parang gusto nya akong lamunin ng buo. Kinabahan tuloy hindi lang puso ko, pati matres ko nanginginig sa kaba!

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Yung halik." Sabay turo sa labi nya, "Gusto mo bang halikan kita ulit?"

Gosh! Why is he like that?! Saying those things innocently straight without even blushing?! N-naninibago ako! Para lang syang nagtatanong ng karaniwang bagay! Usually he should be scolding me for being a pervert and such but now he's even asking me on when do I want him to kiss me?! Si Seph ba ito?! Ako ang namumula sa mga pinagsasasabi nya!

I eyed him suspiciously, did my Dad and Kuya told him something weird? Baka mamaya may sinabi sila kay Seph kaya ganito sya umasta!

"Ayaw mo?" Tanong nya na nagpagising sa diwa ko, "Kung ayaw mo bababa na ako. Maglalaba pa ako."

"W-wait!"

Akmang bababa na sya bitbit yung bag nya nang hawakan ko yung kamay nya. He stopped and he's now staring at me.

"Why are y-you like that?"

"Panong 'ganito'?"

"Did my father threatened you or something?! You're aggressive! You're suddenly saying those t-things as if it's nothing to you! H-hindi katulad noon na ang arte-arte mo, may pa-galit-galit ka pa! You're conservative way back! Then now..." I swallowed so hard even though there's nothing on my throat, "Parang kanina mo pa ako dini-dirty talk!"

He's just staring at me for a couple of minutes before smiling.

"Dirty talk?" Anya sabay tawa, he caressed my hair down to my cheek and jaw with his big hand. He's smiling from ear to ear, "Diba gusto mong malaman kung paano ako mag-react sa mga ginagawa mo?"

He leaned on my ear, making me feel his warm breath against my cheeks.

"Eh kung ulitin nalang kaya natin yung nangyari nung gabing yon? Gusto mo ba?"

His hand is now gently caressing my neck, going low to my shoulder, then arms---I'm heating up because his fingers are brushing down through my body!

"Gusto mo bang humiga ulit..." Now he's touching the side of my body, "sa kama..." down to my waist, "habang umuungol ka..." then to my hips, "sa ilalim ko?" and now pinching my revealed legs because of the short skirt of my dress.

"Seph." I whispered his name while my lips are parted because of the hot sensation flowing throughout my body.

"Hahawakan kita at hahalikan..." Muntik na akong mapaungol nang maramdaman ko yung labi nyang kumagat sa tuktok ng tenga ko, "pero hindi kita a-angkinin dahil hindi ka naman para sa akin."

Akala ko kakapusin ako ng hininga sa sobrang lapit nya at sa kamay nyang humahagod sa hita ko. Tinulak ko sya ng konti para malayo sakin. Hindi ko kinakaya yung mga pinagsasasabi nya saken! Pasabog masyado tong secretary ko! He knows how to make me wet just by talking dirty to me in FILIPINO LANGUAGE!

But what did he say? I'm not for his? Tama ba yung nadinig ko.

"Anong sinasabi mo?" I frowned.

I'm expecting to receive an answer from him, but I received an unexpected kiss instead. It's just a smack but I felt him bit my lower lip.

Nang matapos nya akong halikan ay ngumiti sya, "Kita tayo sa trabaho bukas." Then he went off from my car.

Ilang minuto muna ang lumipas bago ko sya nilingon. Naglalakad sya patungo doon sa bahay nya, I just stopped staring when I felt the vibration of my cellphone. Agad ko iyong binuksan para tignan ang mensahe.

From: Baby Sephy~

Buburahin ko si Jace sa sistema mo, papayagan mo ba ako?

Kinagat ko yung labi ko at nangingiting nag-reply.

To: Baby Sephy~

Panindigan mo yan.

I smiled.

Maybe... I'll just let myself fall again. I may be hurt in the end, but atleast I tried.
