Make It Real

CHAPTER 15

AN: Sorry na hahaha marami nanaman po ito typo

Bakit ganun??? May unan ba na maraming muscles? Julie snuggled closer to whatever heat she was feeling. She stopped though when she felt something hard poking between her thighs. Sa pagkakataon na ito ay bumuka na ang kanyang mga mata. 

At kaagad na bumungad sa kanya ang gwapong muhka ni Elmo na sarap na sarap pa rin sa pagtulog. Mahigpit na nakayakap ang malalaki nitong braso sa buo niyang katawan at hindi pa nakuntento dahil pati ang mga binti nito ay naka ikot pa sa sarili niyang binti.

At hindi na niya kailangan pa hulaan kung ano man ang bagay na kanina pa e nakatusok sa tiyan niya.

"Ahhh!!!"

"What!? What's wrong?!" Napabalikwas ng bangon si Elmo nang mahina siyang itulak palayo ni Julie Anne.

Pinikit pikit pa nito saglit ang mga mata at napatingin kay Julie na hinihingal mula sa pagsigaw.

"Bakit ka nandito?!"

Elmo groaned and cleared his eyes with the palms of his hands. "Tags... I was sleeping."

"Bakit ako nandito then?" Balik tanong pa ni Julie habang hawak hawak ang kumot sa sariling katawan.

Elmo smirked her way. "Because you were sleeping on the couch so I brought you here. And will you stop hiding behind that blanket. I've seen all of you."

"S-shut up!"

Elmo chuckled yet again. "And I'm getting harder by looking at you like that."

"That's it! Kung dito mo ako papatulugin bibili tayo mamaya ng kama!" Julie yelled, keeping the blanket still close to her.

"Fine." Elmo shrugged his shoulders. He looked at her for a few minutes.

Kinakabahan tuloy na binalik ni Julie ang tingin sa lalaki na talaga naman parang hinuhubaran siya sa pagtingin nito sa kanya.

"Elmo!"

"Okay I'm done." Sabi ng lalaki bago iika ika na pumunta sa banyo ng kwarto na iyon. He glanced at her one more time before closing the door behind him.

Ayaw malaman ni Julie kung ano ang ginagawa ng lalaki sa loob pero may hula na siya sa kung ano man ang ginagawa nito; the hardness poking at her this morning was a huge clue.

Napailing siya at bumangon na rin mula sa kama.

She brushed her hair first. At dahil masyadong pre-occupied sa banyo si Elmo ay sa kusina sa baba na siya naghilamos ng muhka.

She looked at the kitchen around her and decided to make some breakfast for the both of them.

She learned to fend for herself while she was at California. Natuto na rin siya magluto at kaunting nawala ang pagiging buhay prinsesa niya.

She was in the process of flipping some pancakes when she heard Elmo padding over from the stairs.

Napalingon siya sa lalaki at nakitang nakaboxers lamang ito.

How did she not notice that this morning? The years that passed have been certainly good to Elmo. Malaki na ang katawan nito nung bata pa sila pero ngayon ay mas nadevelop na ang muscles nito. And she was sure that he liked to work out too.

"Done?"

Napatigil siya nang marinig si Elmo na magsalita at nakitang nakangisi nanaman ito sa kanya.

Shit! He just caught her staring at him! Nahihiyang mabilis na tumalikod si Julie at kunwari ay tinuloy na lamang ang pagluto.

But she stilled yet again when she felt Elmo standing right behind her. Hindi kaagad siya nakagalaw lalo na nang maramdaman na hinahawi ng lalaki ang buhok niya pagilid para masilayan nito ang kanyang batok.

Muntik pa niya mabitawan ang hawak na spatula nang maramdaman ang ilong nito sa balat niya doon.

"You smell so good so early in the morning." He said huskily before planting a soft kiss on the side of her neck.

"S-stop it Elmo." She stuttered and tried to get away but he had circled his arms around her.

His movements were slow and sweet as if he was savoring whatever he was doing to her. He kissed her nape yet again and circled his arms around her waist before whispering on her ear. "Ako na tatapos dyan."

"What? No ako na ang tatapos dito." Julie whispered in answer. Parang nagiging jelly ang kanyang sistema lalo na at kanina pa si Elmo na kung ano ano ang ginagawa sa leeg niya.

"Alright. My Tags wants to cook for me so I'll let her." Tawa pa ni Elmo at hinalikan ang tuktok ng ulo niya.

Narinig ni Julie na umupo ito sa may hapag at hinayaan na lang ang lalaki. But she couldn't move so freely with the feeling that someone was watching her. Sobrang bigat naman kasi ng titig ni Elmo.

At hindi nga siya nagkakamali. Dahil nang paglingon niya ay siyang kita niya kay Elmo na nakatitig lang sa kanya. He seemed to be lost in his own world as he stared at her and was even playing with his lips.

She quickly turned away. Napakalandi talaga ng lalaki na ito! She had to stop her feelings for him though. Dahil alam naman niyang walang magandang hahantungan ang relasyon nila na sa tingin niya ay tawag lamang ng laman.

Kaya magsisikap siya. She'll do projects, study about the companies losses and find a way to slowly rebuild. Para kahit papaano ay hindi maging kaisa isang paraan ang pakasalan ang lalaki.

She finsihed cooking the food and proceeded to plate it in front of Elmo  who looked hungry just from seeing the grub.

"Muhkang masarap ito Tags ah." Sabi ni Elmo at inamoy amoy pa ang pagkain.

"I've learned a few things from my stay in California." Proud pa na sabi ni Julie. "Sa sobrang bored ko minsan doon wala na ako ginawa kundi magluto. Pakiramdam ko nga pwede na ako mag-asawa." Natatawa na sabi ni Julie Anne at tinuloy ang pagkain.

Saka lang niya napansin na parang saglit na natigilan si Elmo. She looked at him and saw that he was just staring at her.

Then he gave a small sigh before proceeding to eat.

Ano naman kaya nangyari doon?

She shrugged it off and started eating.

"Pupunta ako mamaya sa San Jose Holdings. Then after bibili ako ng kama."

"Sasama ako." Sabi pa ni Elmo.

Tinaasan ng kilay ni Julie ang lalaki. "What? Why? Wala ka ba trabaho?"

"San Jose is a sister company naman." Pagdadahilan pa ni Elmo. "Pwede naman na tayo pumunta pareho. And we're going to tell daddy about the plan."

"Wala akong balak sabihin kay daddy." Sabi naman ni Julie Anne.

At dahil doon ay matagal siyang tiningnan ni Elmo. "So paano yan?"

"I'll take care of the company. Ako bahala." Sabi ni Julie Anne.

Noong una ay nanahimik lamang si Elmo pero mahina itong tumango at ngumisi bago tinapos ang pagkain. Saka ito nagbigay ng isang maliit na ngiti dahilan kung bakit bahagyang kinabahan si Julie Anne.

"What?" Sabi ng babae.

Elmo only smirked at her direction.

Julie shook her head and stood up. "Bahala ka dyan kapag ako naasar sayo sasapakin talaga kita."

"I'm just saying...anong sasabihin mo kay daddy?" Sabi pa ni Elmo habang kinakalap ang mga pinagkainan nila.

Julie sighed and shook her head. "Siyempre hindi siya papayag diba? So sasabihin ko, na paahabain lang muna natin yung engagement." She said as if she's already thought things through. "You will not say anything to him, understand?"

Parang gusto pa sana magsalita ni Elmo pero natigilan at di kalaunan ay tumango na lamang. "Fine. Maligo ka na sabay tayo pupunta sa SJH."

Julie wearily looked at the man in front of her before nodding her head and heading up to shower.

Saktong nagbibihis siya mula sa pagligo nang bigla na lamang bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto.

"Ahhhhh!!" Napasigaw siya at talaga namang nagtago pa sa ilalim ng kumot ng kama.

Elmo raised a questioning eyebrow her way before stepping inside. Parang wala lang na nakahubad si Julie sa ilalim ng kumot.

"Tags, nababasa yung bed sheet lumabas ka dyan."

"Gago paano ako lalabas e nandyan ka!" Sabi ni Julie Anne.

Elmo smirked her way.

Kumabog ang puso ni Julie nang walang sabi sabi na bigla itong lumapit. He was literally prowling her way. Julie's eyes widened as she watched Elmo approaching her. Napakapit siya sa kumot nang bigla na lamang sumampa sa ibabaw niya si Elmo.

She gasped when he slightly pushed his body towards her.

"I've seen all of that Tags." He said with his voice husky and deep. "Get dressed. Sabay tayo papunta sa SJH." He kissed her forehead before finally getting off of her then moving to grab a towel from the closet. He glanced her way one more time before getting inside the bathroom.

Hinihingal na nanatili sa loob ng kumot si Julie. Kapag nagtagal pa sila ng ganito ay baka atakihin na talaga siya sa puso. 

She dressed in a simple pencil cut skirt and a long white sleeved blouse. At dahil wala siya sa mood na mag-dry ang kanyang mga mata ay pinili niyang isuot ang mga salamin. Matapos ay tinali niya ang mahabang buhok. Medyo nagaadjust pa kasi ang kanyang katawan sa init ng Pinas kaya mas ginusto niyang mag-tali muna ng buhok kaysa pagpawisan. 

She was just finishing up with her make-up when Elmo exited the bathroom. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist and water was dripping still from his hair and even his body. 

Kung inaakit man siya nito ay gumagana pero hanggang doon na lang iyon. Mabilis siyang nag-iwas ng tingin. 

"M-magbihis ka na, hintayin kita sa baba." She stuttered before quickly grabbing her things and going down. 

Oh god how was she going to survive this? Ano ba itong pinasok mo Julie Anne San Jose!!!

Hindi naman nagtagal si Elmo sa pagbihis. Siguro ay mga sampung mintuo lamang at bumaba na ito. Nakabihis na ito ng long sleeved shirt at slacks. He had his coat in his arm and had fixed his hair.

Bumaba ito sa may sala kung saan si Julie naghintay at pinalipas na lamang ang oras sa pag-gamit ng telepono. 

Julie glanced up when she saw him. "Tara na?" She asked. 

Pero hindi kaagad sumagot si Elmo. He was f*****g staring at her. Baka matunaw siya!

"Tags?" She called out. 

And that seemed to snap Elmo out from his stupor. 

Elmo cleared when he realized that he was staring. "Uh, let's go then." He approached her and put a gentle hand on her back before leading her to the elevator. They were fairly quiet, considering that it was only the two of them in the elevator. Elmo was rapidly texting someone on his phone and Julie controlled herself not to peek.

Sa totoo lang Julie dapat wala ka na pake sa pinag-gagawa ni Elmo, control yourself damn it.

They reached the lobby and Elmo gestured for her to wait for him there.

Kaya hayun at nakatayo lang siya sa tabi ng security guard na nakaduty at nasa may entrance.

"Uhm, excuse me po ma'am. Ano po pangalan nila?" Tanong ng gwardiya sa kanya habang may hawak pa na clipboard. Nakangiti ito sa kanya ng magalang at hinihintay ang sagot niya.

"Ah, Julie Anne po sir." She smiled back at lumaki din ang ngiti ng gwardiya.

Nagsimula itong magsulat sa clipboard habang binibigkas pa ang sinusulat.

"Mrs. Julie Anne...Magalona."

Napasulyap si Julie sa sinabi ng gwardiya. "Ah kuya..."

"Yes po Mrs. Magalona?" Nakangiti pa na sabi ng gwardiya.

Julie tried to not make her smile awkward. Paano ba niya sasabihin...

"Uhm..di ko po asawa si Elmo." She said, and it still sounded awkward no matter how hard she tried.

"Ay ganun po ba!" Gulat na sabi ng gwardiya. Napakamot pa ito sa ulo na parang nahihiya. "Sabi niya po kasi kahapon na lilipat na din daw asawa niya dito. Pasensya na mam."

Natigil ang usapan nilang dalawa nang makita nila ang kotse ni Elmo na paparating mula sa basement parking.

Julie smiled kindly to the security guard. "Sige po kuya. Salamat po." She bounded off for Elmo's car and situated herself on the front seat.

Mabilis niyang hinampas ang braso ng lalaki na gulat na napatingin sa kanya.

"What?!" Nagtatakang tanong nito.

"Bakit mo sinabi kay kuya guard na asawa mo ako?!"

Kaagad naman nakuha ni Elmo ang sinasabi niya kaya naman napangisi na lang ito at napakamot pa sa likod ng ulo.

"It just slipped out." Sabi na lang nito at napakibit balikat bago sinimulan ang pagmaneho.

Mas malayo ng kaunti ang San Jose Holdings building sa Chavez building. Nakadanas pa sila ng kaunting traffic.

People were just filing in as they entered the building.

"Hi Elmo!"

They stopped walking just as a girl approached them. Pinigilan ni Julie na mapataas ang kilay niya nang makita ang babae.

Babae nanaman kasi! Hayup ka Elmo napaka chickboy mo ah!

"Good morning Chez." Sabi ni Elmo na may maliit na ngiti sa muhka.

Ngumiti pabalik si Chez kay Elmo. Nakatayo silang lahat sa harap ng elevator ay hinihintay lang na dumating na ang cart.

Saka naman napatingin si Chez kay Julie na tahimik lang na nakatayo doon at kunwari ay ang cart lamang ang pinapansin.

Elmo immediately turned to Julie then smiled back at Chez.

"Ah Chez, si Julie nga pala, fiancee ko."

Say what?

Natigilan si Julie Anne at akmang aangal nang pasimpleng lumapit sa kanya si Elmo at bumulong sa tainga niya. "Kapag nalaman ng iba na hindi ito totoo, makakaabot kay daddy."

Well damn it because he was right.

So Julie sucked it up and smiled at Chez's way who was also smiling at her.

"Hi Julie! Bagay na bagay kayo ni Elmo!" Tila kinikilig na sabi nito.

"Uhm...salamat." Julie said. Kasi ano ba dapat ang isagot niya doon?

Sa wakas ay dumating na din ang elevator at talaga naman doon pa napili ng mga empleyado na pagusapan sila.

"Yung kasama ba ni sir Elmo yung anak ni sir Art? Yung galing pa daw ng California?"

"Oo ata? Ang dyosa atii."

"Ang gaganda at gwapo siguro ng anak nila ni sir Elmo no?"

"Sila ba?"

"Ay ewan ko lang..."

Who gossips inside an elevator?! Hindi kinakaya ni Julie ang mga pangyayari pero wala at ang mga babae naman ang mapapahiya at hindi siya.

All of the other employees had already filed out, leaving Elmo and Julie.

Nananahimik lang ang huli dahil kanina pa niya iniisip kung paano kakausapin ang ama.

Derederetso naman si Elmo sa opisina ng daddy ni Julie na nakita nilang sakto ay may ginagawa sa may desk nito.

Julie's dad grew older as the years flew by but that only seemed to be fueled by some of the problems the company was facing.

Napaangat ito ng tingin at nawala ang simangot nang makita silang dalawa.

"Hi princess." Bati nito sa kanya.

"Good morning daddy." Sabi naman ni Julie Anne at humalik sa pisngi ng ama. Si Elmo naman ay lumapit at nagmano sa ama ni Julie.

"How'd you find your condo?" Tanong pa ni Art sa kanila.

Julie stilled. E sa gusto niya magreklamo sa tatay niya kung bakit sa laki ng penthouse na iyon e iisa lang ang kama! Pinamimigay na ba talaga siya nito?!

"It's beautiful dad. May kaunting iibahin lang ako..." Like making dagdag of a kama!

Art seemed satisfied of that answer and just shrugged his shoulders. Saka ito bumaling ng tingin kay Elmo. "Ikaw anak kamusta naman?"

Elmo only smirked in answer. "It's great dad!"

"Mabuti! Julie I'd like to start you out with a team. May ginagawa silang apartment project and your style will be perfect for what they are planning. Kaso out of town pa si Aaron."

Magsasalita sana si Julie pero inunahan siya ni Elmo. .

"What? Bakit si Aaron?" Tila nagrereklamo na tanong nito.

Art looked at him and the older man actually had a glint in his eye but just proceeded to laugh it off. "Well he's one of the best engineers here! Mas magaling ka lang talaga anak. Anyways. I'll contact Julie once everything's settled. Magiisip din pala ako ng date ng engagement party niyo."

"What?" Hindi napigilan ni Julie na sabihin. Medyo napataas nga ang boses niya kaya napatingin sa gulat si Art.

Pero nasalo ni Julie ang sarili at kunwari ay kumalma. "Uhm...kailangan pa ba talaga ng party dad?"

"Of course! Malalaman din ng investors yon diba?" Sabi naman ni Art. "And I don't worry about you two that much. Alam ko naman na muntik na maging kayo talaga dati." He said with a shrug. 

How could he do that?! Just shrug at things?!

At dahil busy na sa gagawin si Art ay bumaba na muli si Julie at Elmo. Balak kasi nilang dalawa na ituloy ang pagbili ng kama.

Pero si Julie ay hindi pa rin matahimik sa isipin na magkakaroon sila ng engagement party.

Ano ba itong pinasok nila?!?

"Hey are you alright?" Nagaalala na tanong ni Elmo.

Nasa gitna sila ng lobby ng SJH. Halata kasing aligaga si Julie.

And the latter sighed and slowly waved her hand in dismissal. "Sorry Tags. Hindi kasi ako maka get over doon sa engagement party. I mean there are other ways to let people know of that sort of thing right?"

Hindi kaagad sumagot si Elmo kaya naman napatingin si Julie sa lalaki.

She saw him looking intently at her. Bahagya siyang kinabahan. Ayan nanaman kasi ang mga tinginan ni Elmo na akala mo ay binubunot ang kaluluwa niya.

"What?" She asked.

People were walking around them since it was the lobby but the way Elmo was looking at her, it was like they were the only two people there.

And then Elmo smiled her way. "Actually we can show them we're together."

"Wh--" Julie couldn't say anything more when Elmo pulled her close, one hand on her waist and the other cupping her face before he leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet kiss for all of the employees there to see.

"Ay te oo nga. Sila nga..."
