Cielle
I woke up feeling so sore between my thighs. Para rin akong lalagnatin at nais pa sanang matulog, ngunit nang maramdaman ko ang balbon na brasong nakapatong sa aking tiyan, pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig.
I slowly turned my head to see the man laying naked next to me, and when I realized that it was Sir Keeno, my soul almost left my body.
Diyos ko!
Memories of last night flooded in my head. I remembered how I sobbed when he tore my purity. I remembered how he went between my legs multiple times to pleasure me with his mouth. And I remembered how he took me in different positions until we were running out of breath.
That... was the most intense night of my life, and now my whole face is so red just by realizing that I spent it with him.
Patay. Patay!
I carefully removed his arm before I went out of the bed as slowly as possible. Halos mabingi ako sa lakas ng t***k ng aking puso. Nanlalamig na rin ang mga palad ko at hindi ko na magawang intindihin pa ang sakit na nadarama ko sa pagitan ng aking mga hita. Even my legs are wiggling, but the only thing I have in mind right now is my job.
He made it clear on my first week; no f**k, no crushing, no falling in love or I can kiss my job goodbye. Hindi ko iyon pwedeng hayaang mangyari dahil lang sa isang gabing hindi ko makalilimutan.
I stood by the bed and stared at him for a moment. A part of me wanted to lay next to him again so I could caress his unruly hair, but I knew if I'd do that, I'd lose my chance to leave without him knowing it was me whom he spent one sultry night with.
Nilunok ko na lamang ang sarili kong laway saka ko dinampot ang mga damit ko. The sun didn't rise yet, at mukhang wala pang gaanong gising sa aming mga kasama kaya may pagkakataon pa ako para mgtungo sa aking silid.
Nagbihis ako't niyakap ang aking sapatos. I tiptoed towards the door like a crriminal, and as I slowly turned the knob, Sir Keeno groaned and laid on his back. Halos makalimutan ko ang huminga sa takot na nagising ko siya, ngunit nang muli siyang humilik ay naibuga ko ang hangin sa aking dibdib.
Tuluyan akong lumabas ng silid at nagtungo sa kwartong para sa akin. Tulog pa si Angel nang pumasok ako, at nang mapagtantong kasama niya sa kama ang isa sa mga videographer, wala akong choice kun'di ang lumabas na lamang.
I picked up my phone and pouch without waking them up. Tutal ay uwian na rin naman pagsapit ng alas otso, nagpaalam na lamang ako kay Sir Keios na mauuna na ako. He went for his morning run, and when he heard what I said, he tapped my shoulder then spoke.
"I'll give you a ride home. Wait for me here. Kunin ko lang susi ko."
"Naku, Sir huwag na ho."
"I insist. Lagot ako kay Kuya Konnar at kay Keeno kung malaman nilang hindi kita ihinatid kahit sa akin ka nagpaalam."
I sighed and just watch him go to his room. Nang makabalik ay sabay kaming nagtungo sa kanyang kotse.
"Nawala kayo kagabi ni Keeno. Akala ko kayo 'yong naririnig ko sa kwarto niya kagabi, pero no'ng napadaan ako sa kwarto mo, may ingay rin. Do you know whom he spent the night with?"
Napalunok ako ng sariling laway. "H--Hindi ko ho alam, Sir."
He jerked his head. "Okay."
Tumikhim ako't pinilit mag-isip ng pwedeng mapag-usapan nang mawala sa isip niya ang tanong niya sa akin.
"Bakit ang aga mong nagising, Sir kahit ikaw yata ang pinakanaparami ng inom kagabi?"
"It's my body clock, and I follow this routine since I was sixteen, kaya kahit may hangover, I stick to my routine."
Napatango-tango ako. Maybe that's why with or without Sir Khalil's help, Sir Keios was able to secure his spot in the football world. He's very dedicated with his chosen, kaya kahit wala pa naman silang upcoming game ay kung kumilos siya ay parang palaging world cup.
Sir Keios brought me home. Ininuman ko kaagad ng paracetamol ang nararamdaman ko, kaya pagsapit ng alas nuebe ay nagawa ko pang pumasok.
I didn't expect to see Sir Keeno in his office when I got there. Marami siyang nainom kagabi, ngunit heto siya ngayon at tila may seryosong pinag-uusapan kasama si Sir Keios at Sir Konnar.
"Good morning, Sir," alanganin kong bati.
Bumaling silang tatlo sa akin, ngunit napansin kong tila bahagyang nakakunot ang noo ni Sir Keeno habang nakatitig sa akin.
"Good morning, Cielle. Pakape ka naman diyan. Wala akong pang-Starbucks," ani Sir Konnar.
I forced myself to smile as I dodged my boss' stares. Nagtungo ako sa coffee counter at ipinagtimpla sila ng kape maliban kay Sir Keios na hindi mahilig magkape. Mayamaya ay nagpaalam sandali si Sir Konnar dahil may kukunin daw sa kanyang kotse, at nang kami na lamang tatlo ang natira sa opisina ni Sir Keeno, narinig ko ang tanong ni Sir Keios.
"Mind sharing who you spent the night with? Hindi naman siguro si Kreige, Ciell right? I've been looking for him all night."
Napahinto ako sa pag-stir ng kape. Nang lingunin ko sila ay kay Sir Keeno kaagad dumapo ang aking tingin kaya nakita ko ang pagdilim ng kanyang ekspresyon.
I swallowed the pool of saliva in my mouth. "N--No, Sir. I uhm... spent the night with... someone else."
"Kaya hindi na kita kinatok. You seemed to be having a good time last night. I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable. s*x is a normal thing anyway and there's nothing to be ashamed of."
I saw how Sir Keeno shifted on his seat with his expression getting darker and darker every second. "You... spent the night in your room?"
Lumunok ako, nangangatog ang mga tuhod. "Y--Yes, Sir."
"That's impossible." His brows furrowed. "How?"
"She did. Like I said, I went to look for Kreige, kaso hindi na ako tumuloy kumatok sa kwarto niya. I didn't want to disturb them, gaya ng hindi na kita inistorbo kasama ng babaeng kasama mo."
Lalong naguluhan ang itsura ni Sir Keeno. "I don't get it."
Umismid si Sir Keios. "Bro, you don't have a nun for an assistant. Don't make her feel that what she did is wrong."
"No, I..." He shut his eyes and took in a deep breath before he looked at me again. "Tell me the truth. Were you in your room with another man last night?"
I pursed my lips and silently took in a breath as I spoke the lie I knew would save my job.
"Yes, Sir. I was... with someone else last night... and we did it in my own room..."
