Caged In His Arms

Pilit kong itinulak palayo ang lalaking humahalik sa 'kin nang maramdaman ko ang paggalugad ng kaniyang kamay sa iba't ibang parte ng aking katawan na hindi ko na nagustuhan pa. I let men kiss me, but never I have been touched by them. "Nick s-stop," I muttered in between his wild and forceful kisses. My hands automatically did a move for me as he became more persistent on kissing me. It reached for his cheek. Tumayo ako mula sa sofa ng bar saka lumayo sa kanya at hahakbang na sana palabas nang hinigit n'ya ang kamay ko para pigilin ako mula sa pag-alis. His pools were blazing in fire, muscles on his jaw were clenched that it made me scared of him. "Ano? Nag-iinarte ka ngayon? Hindi ba't pinagsawaan ka naman ng iba't ibang lalaki? Oh come on Elara, you're toying on your ma, don't tell me you're still pure, like no one ever f**k that p***y of yours—" Natigil s'ya sa pagsasalita saka tiim ang bagang na ibinalik ang kaniyang mga mata sa 'kin matapos muling dumapo ng kanang kamay ko sa kaniyang pisnge. He raised his right hand on mid-air, knowing that he'll slap me back. Mariin kong ipinikit ang  aking mata at hinintay na lang na mangyari 'yon. I felt a pair of iron like hand pull his grip away from me. Dali-dali kong iminulat ang aking mata at napahiyaw na lang din nang makitang bumagsak si Nick dahil sa malakas na pagkakasapak sa kaniya ni Jupiter. With trembling hands and scorching anger in his eyes, he pulled Nick's collar and attack him once more. Compared to him, Nick is nothing from his height to his intense and thick body frame. Hindi na s'ya muling nakatayo pa pagkatapos ng ilang suntok na ibinigay sa kaniya ni Jupiter. "S-stop!" awat ko sa kaniya nang makabawi na mula sa 'king pagkagulat. Nagngangalit ang mga mata n'ya nang hinarap n'ya ko at hinila palabas ng bar. With all of my strength I pulled my hands from his grip and succeed. Natigil ito sa paglalakad papunta sa bulok niyang sasakyan at galit na galit na bumaling sa 'kin. "Hindi ako sasama sa'yo, Jupiter," I muttered with firmness and finality in my voice. I took an abrupt step and was about to call a cab when he harshly grab my hands. My eyes met his dangerous pools, making my knees go weaker. "You're drunk, iuuwi na kita!"  Jupiter's voice as well as his  hold on my pulse were menacing. Bahagya ko siyang itinulak at sinubukang kumawala rito, "Inutos din ba ni Dad na puntahan mo 'ko rito?" I asked and plastered a bitter smile. "Elara please— ," "No! Stay the f**k away from me and stop being nosy!" Tiim bagang at may pagbabantang inisang hakbang n'ya ang pagitan naming dalawa. "And let you do your things alone? Like letting a man kiss that lips of yours? You almost got raped there!" asik n'ya gamit ang mala-kulog niyang boses. Holding on the tiny string of my braveness. I held my gaze at him and keep my facade cool. "Almost," I murmured. Mariin siyang napapikit at sunod-sunod na nagmura. When he openned his eyes, another waves of rage is evident on it. "I've always been this patient towards your unfathomable bratty attitude, Kharis Elara." Jupiter took an abrupt step as I took a step backwards, inching our distance once more, my heart began to beat drastically. "And I'm running out of temper, so if I were you, I'd stop my antics and hold a grip on my sister title, after all I wasn't named Jupiter if I can't be one and you know exactly what I am talking about, sister," he whispered in my left ear in a precarious manner before I saw him smirk.
