Somewhere Between Time

2 years have passed....... "Maaaasssssoooooonnnnnn!" He comes close to snorting due to the swarm of girls yelling his name and attempting to catch his attention. Rather than that, he bowed his head and gave them the finest smile and civility imaginable. And the girls shouted again, this time as if they were about to die from lack of air. Immediately after waving and signing a few of his posters, he turned around as his face began to go darker. He recalled what had happened earlier in the car while he was driving. There is something wrong with his car, he knew it because he felt a significant vibration in it, but he is the only one who can be held responsible for what is happening. In the past, he would examine his car before every race, but he didn't do so today because he arrived late to the track and almost missed the race. "F*ck!" he hissed and went straight to the car. "Something is wrong with my car!" Then he opened the hood and examined it with his trained eye. "Can you tell me when it happened?" Frank approached him, his senior mechanic, and asked him a question. "Upon speeding......." he shook his head. "Turning," he murmured, his gaze still fixed on the engine. "It's possible that it's the CV." "I'm going to check it with the boys," Frank said, summoning the mechanics. "Congratulations, by the way!" "Yeah......" he replied insipidly. "It was only a fraction of a second due of that stupid vibration!" "However, you won!" The old man touched him on the shoulder. "By the way, Amanda has arrived." "Love!" Before he could turn around, he was kissed on the lips by his girlfriend......errr.....fling. Amanda is his most recent woman, and other racers are giving him jealous looks whenever she's around. Who are they to blame? Amanda is stunning and oozes s*x appeal. Tall, model-type physique, yet not slim, rather voluptuous and stunning. She met her at a party held by one of his colleagues a month ago. They've always been seen together since then. "Your place or mine?" he asked her. "Yours," she said as he kissed her again, tracing and shaping her body with his skillful hands. "Frank," they sign him off as they leave. The old man simply nods. He takes a look at his car. The guys can do it correctly, and he'll just double-check it tomorrow. For the time being, he needs to be with Amanda. "Don't forget about tonight's victory party!" Frank reminded him, but all he did was raise his hand to show that he heard it. They can't get their hands on each other on the way to his flat. They can do it inside the car while he is driving, as they did on the way to Texas. But not on a busy boulevard in Los Angeles. As soon as they enter the lift, they continue kissing and stroking each other. He swiftly lowered his jeans as soon as they entered his lair, while Amanda undresses. He supports her buttocks with both hands. The woman automatically folded her legs over his thighs. He penetrated her without any foreplay other than kissing. "F*uck Mason!" She shouted as he moved farther into her. They moaned with every movement of his shaft entering her. "Deeper! Oh my F*ck! Don't stop!" She pleaded, and she gave in. They both attain the c****x after his three deep thrusts.... "Where are you going?" Amanda asked as he approached the shower. "Party," he replied sluggishly. "Wanna come?" With a shake of her head, the woman expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation. "Nah. I have to accompany my family; in fact, they are expecting you tonight." That prevented him from entering the shower area, and he turned to face her. "Amy...." She feigned a smile. "Don't worry.....I told them how busy you are," she said as she swiftly gathered her clothing from the floor and frantically put them on. He's there in two large steps, he's there, holding her from behind. "I'm sorry....." "I'm fine," she said as she turned to face him and smiled. "I really need to be going; my Dad won't forgive me if I'm late." And she kissed him on the lips. "Shall we meet again?" When he nods, she walks away. When he heard the sound of the door closing, he sat down on the bed and closed his eyes. How many ladies entered his life? Good, gorgeous women, and he just let them slip through his fingers? Countless. As he tries to move his body to take a shower, he sighs. He'll still go to the party, with or without a date, because women will swarm around him again.... "Falcon!" When someone slapped his cheeks, his eyes widened. "Wake up!" And he saw the most lovely grumpy face on the planet. "What are you doing here, Louise?" He took the pillow to cover his face. "To wake you up, of course!" And he rolled on the floor when she forcibly pulled the blanket covering his n***d body! "And when I say wake up, YOU HAVE TO GET UP!" He gets up annoyingly, doesn't care if he's on his birth suit. When his eyes looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was only nine in the morning! "I just came home four hours ago!" She looked at him, one eyebrow raised. "Let me sleep for more than one hour, will you?" "No!" She said firmly. "We are flying back to Manila two hours from now so move your a*s okay!" "I cannot go back today, not yet!" He said as he shook his head. "I have to check my car. Will follow you tomorrow," he's hoping that she will buy his alibis. She looked at him, frowning. "So they are right. Mas importante ang kotse kaysa sa mga anak mo?" He didn't say a thing but instead, took the robe and put it on. "I have another race, Louise." "Damn that race!" he saw the anger on her beautiful face. "Frank told me what happened to your car and you didn't stop racing, instead tried to finish it till the end! Are you planning to kill yourself?!" "Don't overreact, Louise. I am still in one piece!" in big steps, she reached him and stopped a few inches away. "Besides, we just need to change the joint." "Whatever it is, you have to come with me! I already ordered Frank to ship that damn car to Manila. I already asked help from my father." She raised her face, showing him that he cannot do anything for now. "What about your school? You only have two weeks break," but instead, she waved her hand. "Gonna go back to Manila and I already found a good school for me. No reason to stay here," he saw the sadness in her eyes. "Nag-away ba kayo ni Prox? Break na kayo?" he doesn't know if he's going to smile or what. "Or the question is, naging kayo ba kasi wala namang confirmation galing sa inyo eh." "Stop asking questions, Mason, hindi nakakatuwa. Huwag mong ibahin ang usapan. Halos mapuyat ako kagabi sa dalawa mong anak na hindi ako pinatulog sa kakatanong kung anong oras ka uuwi! You didn't even tell me that you're not coming home!" And his naughty mind told him to grab her, and he did! Her eyes widen and her mouth slightly opened. "I asked you before but still, I am going to ask you again. Will you marry me?" It started with a chuckle until she laughs out loudly. "Oh, God! Are you serious?" she's smiling at him. "Marry you?" he nods. "Marry you, my a*s!" to his surprise, he received a light slap from her! No matter how light or heavy it is, it is still a slap! "You slapped me!" he took a step back. "Yes, I slapped you!" she's still laughing. "Seriously, Mason, marrying you is the last thing that will come to me in this life time! Why? You womanize a lot! Kabi-kabila ang nobya mo tapos aayain mo ako ng kasal? Hindi pa ako naloloka para gawin iyon!" He pouted and seated on the bed. "Ayaw mo na talaga sa akin?" he asked. "As in wala na?" "You're asking me about it almost every day and you know that I love you......" "That would be enough reason for you to marry me! Promise, magtitino na ako for you!" but she shook her head while smiling. "Gagawin mo lang akong yaya na ginagawa ko na sa loob ng dalawang taon na magkasama tayo. Gusto mo lang selyuhan ang pagli-live in natin!" Yes, they are living together, to keep the guys away from her till she finishes school. That was his idea when Cameron decided to leave them. He followed Louise and took the kids with him. He talked to her parents, asked for their forgiveness and at the same time, asked to lend him a huge amount of money to open an auto repair, a customization car shop. Alexis, his father, got really angry when he learned about it. Nagagalit ito sa anak dahil sa iba ito nanghiram ng pera hindi dito. But Mason has his own reason......he's been a pain in his parent's asses for years and doesn't want to add another. Sa ibang tao, mapipilitan siyang magbayad, pero sa Daddy niya, alam niyang hindi siya pupuwersahin, or worst, hindi pa talaga siya pagbabayarin. But Gwain opposed. Masyadong kilala ang West Coast sa Amerika na siyang numero unong establishimentong gumagawa ng customized cars. Mahihirapan siyang pataubin iyon, o kahit tapatan man lang. He suggested for him to put up the business in the Philippines and be one of the the Board in West Coast. Without pushing what he really has in mind earlier, he followed what Gwain said. Consultant ito ng kompanya ng ama kaya alam nito ang makabubuti sa business na nais niya. Yes, it was tough to put up a business, up until now, hindi pa rin iyon matatag. Kapag narito siya sa ibang bansa at nakikipag-karera, iniiwan niya iyon sa mga tauhan, na syempre, tinitignan din ni Gwain at ng Daddy niya. At ang kambal, parehong malapit kay Louise. Besides, they are calling her Mommy. Pero magkasama man sila sa isang bahay, halos hindi na din sila nagpapang-abot doon. Louise is busy in her school while he's busy with his cars, business and women. Minsan na nga lang sila nagkikita, nag-aaway pa at iyon ay dahil sa kawalan niya ng oras sa mga bata. Hindi niya alam kung paanong napapayag nito ang mga magulang na magsama sila sa isang bubong, ganun man, may mga kasama naman silang kawaksi doon na mga Pinoy din. He gave her a devious smile. "Let's marry and add another baby....." "Babyhin mo ang mukha mo!" natatawang sinuntok siya nito sa tiyan kaya napa-uklo siya. "Isusumbong kita kay Daddy, bagsak ang kabuhayan mo, sige!" pananakot nito. "Kaya mahal kita kasi grabe kang manakot eh," pumasok siya sa banyo para tuluyang maligo. "Dapat lang para hands off ka sa akin!" sagot nito at nang silipin niya ay nililigpit ang hinigaan niyang kama. "Kanino na naman itong panty na nakaipit dito, Mason!" He just smiled but didn't answer. Water from the shower took off the part of his head that still wants to sleep. Kailangan niyang gisingin ang sarili dahil siguradong pagagalitan siya nito kapag babagal bagal siyang kumilos. When he stepped out of the shower room, she pointed to the part of the room where there are cloth, fabric, whatever it is, are piled up. "Other than Amanda, are you taking other women in here?" inis na tanong nito. "At pakisabi sa mga babae mo, iuwi ang mga undies nila, pwede?! Makakarating ito talaga kay Tita Bea!" sabay irap sa kanya. "Wala akong alam diyan!" he removed the towel that is covering his body. Ewan ba niya, pero ilang beses na siyang nakikitang ganun ni Louise, pero walang epekto man lang dito. "By the way, I saw Cameron last week.......when you......." "I am done!" nakangiting nilingon niya si Louise. He doesn't want to hear any news about the mother of his children. Cameron......
