Sweetest Mistake

Waking up with a stranger

Nathalie wakes up feeling like her body is aching all over . Lalo na ang ibabang parte ng kanyang katawan . She tried to stand up pero parang may mabigat na nakadagan sa beywang niya . Her head has a pulsing pain .

Pilit niyang iminulat ang mga mata niya at nagulantang siya ng mapansin niyang wala siyang ni anumang saplot sa katawan.

Ngunit ang mas nakagulantang sa kanya ay ang taong katabi niya sa kama. She looks around trying to recall where she is.

Dahan-dahang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Nathalie ng unti-unti ding bumalik lahat ng ala-ala niya kagabi.

Nagpaikot ikot siya kagabi at di alam ang pupuntahan. She was just looking for a place to drown all her sorrow after finding out that her boyfriend cheated on her with his bestfriend.

She entered a bar at nilunod ang sarili sa alak . Sumayaw siyang mag isa sa dance floor ng bar like crazy until it happened.

She was just minding her business ng biglang may lumapit na lasing sa kanya at sinubukan siyang sunggaban .

"H-hello there , baby girl ." utal na sambit ng lasing .

Hindi niya ito pinansin at nagpatuloy lang sa pagsayaw .

Nainis ang lalaking lumapit sa kanya kaya bigla siya nitong hinawakan sa beywang at pinilit iharap.

Nagulat siya kaya umigkas agad ang kamay niya at sinampal ito.

"Bastos!" galit na sigaw ko.

"Loko kang babae ka ah!" sigaw nito.

He is about to slap me when a tall figure appeared out of nowhere and says in an authoritative voice.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you .."

the tall man said .

Napakunot noo si Nathalie. Medyo madilim sa loob ng bar the only thing she can clearly see is the outline of the man. She is having a hard time focusing already dahil sa dami ng nainom niya.

"Who do you think you are ?" Baling ng lalaking nambastos sa kanya . "Stay out of my f*****g business..away mag syota to pre' kaya wag kang makialam."

Napakunot noo ang matangkad na lalaki atsaka bumaling kay Nathalie.

"Is it true miss? Boyfriend mo to ?" He asks while looking the man up and down.

"Of course not !" aniya sabay lakad palapit sa matangkad na lalaki. "He's not my type , you on the other hand is my cup of tea."

Malanding sabi niya . She wasn't sure who was talking already . She could only blame it sa matapang na alak na nilaklak niya. Lumingkis siya sa matangkad na lalaki sabay subsob ng mukha sa dibdib nito .

She can't help but think that he smells so nice . He has that faint scent of sandalwood and natural masculine scent. The smell was intoxicating . She involuntarily closes her eyes .

She felt the body of the man tensed under her touch . But he didn't try to push her away.

Namula ang mukha ng lalaking nambastos sa kanya sabay tumalikod at pasimpleng lumakad palayo. Akala niya ay mapipick-up niya ang magandang dilag na yon.

"Miss ,you can let go now . He's gone already." Wika ng lalaking matangkad.

Nagtaka siya ng di tuminag ang babaeng halos nakasandal na sa kanya. Niyugyog niya ito when all of a sudden.

"Uggghhwhaack .." Biglang sumuka si Nathalie sa dibdib ng lalaking estranghero.

And the last thing she saw before she lost her consciousness is the shocked expression on the man's face.
