Until we meet again

Chapter 2 - His Pride

Brandon

Hindi inaasahan ni Brandon na makikita pa niya ulit ang dalaga na matagal na niyang hinahanap. Nagbago man ang itsura nito pero hindi siya pwedeng magkamali dahil ang mga mata nito ang palatandaan niya. Nang magtama ang mata nila right there and then he already know, it's was her. Gusto niyang matawa nang makita ang reaction nito at alam niya na kahit ito'y nagulat din na makita siya. Gusto na sana niyang sumuko sa ilang buwan na paghahanap sa dalaga na naging laman ng panaginip niya mula nang makilala niya ito. Mapaglaro nga talaga ang tadhana dahil nasa harap na niya ang taong hinahanap niya at ngayon ay sisiguraduhin niyang hindi na ito makakawala sa kanya ng basta-basta. May mga katanungan siya na ito lang ang tanging makakasagot.

"You better have a good damn excuse for what you did." Sabi niya sa sarili habang tinitingnan itong nagmamadaling lumabas ng conference.

Sa loob ng bago niyang opisina ay hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala sa nangyari kanina. Pagkalipas kasi ng mahigit anim na buwan na paghahanap ay nakita na niya ang dalaga at sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon pa. It's his first day in his new job. This was supposed to be a new start for him but seeing that girl make things more interesting. Alam niya na magiging ackward ang sitwasyon nilang dalawa. Hindi na siya magtataka kung iiwas ito sa kanya pero wala naman itong ibang choice.

"Fate is really full of something." Nakangiting sabi niya habang nakatingin sa labas ng building.

Bigla niyang naalala ang gabi kung saan niya unang nakilala ang dalaga. Ang gabi kung saan ay may naramdaman siyang kakaiba na hindi niya maipaliwanag. Marami siyang gustong itanong sa dalaga pero hindi siya nito binigyan ng pagkakataon dahil bigla itong nawala. Hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan ang gabing 'yon.

Hindi niya mapigilan ang sarili na pagmasdan mula sa malayo ang isang babae na mag-isang naka-upo sa bar. Hindi katulad ng ibang tao na nandoon mukhang hindi ito nag-eenjoy. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagkabagot at lungkot. Hindi niya maintindihan pero he find it sexy while she's playing those straw in her lips.

"Does this girl realize what she is doing?" naiiling na bulong niya.

Kanina pa niya ito gusto lapitan pero naisip niya na baka may inaantay ito kaya pinigilan niya ang sarili. Pagkalipas ng halos isang oras ay napansin niyang nakailang cocktail drinks na ito kaya nag-decide na siyang lapitan ito.

"Hey there, can I join you?" tanong niya saka siya umupo sa tabi nito with smile plaster on his face at nagulat siya sa naging sagot nito.

"Did I say YES already or you just assume that because you're damn good looking that I will not say NO to you," nakataas ang isang kilay na sagot nito pagkatapos siyang tingnan mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Sorry, I just thought you need some company," friendly na sagot niya.

"You really think that I really need one huh? Why, do I look like so miserable? " nakataas pa rin ang isang kilay na tugon ng dalaga sa kanya.

Kung sa ibang pagkakataon siguro ay nilayasan na niya ang babaeng ito dahil siya ang tipo ng tao na hindi nag-aaksaya ng oras. Habang pinagmamasdan niya ito ay hindi niya mapin-point pero may something dito na hindi niya lubos na maipaliwanag.

"No. I don't think so, but it won't hurt if you have some company. Do you agree miss?" friendly pa rin ang tono niya.

Nakita niyang nagbago ang reaction nito, nagsalubong ang kilay nito at hindi niya inaasahan ang pag-silay ng ngiti sa mga labi nito. He was mesmerized by those smile.

"I'll take that as a YES," nakangiting sabi niya at nang makitang hindi na ito nagprotesta ay inayos niya ang upo para maging komportable.

Sinenyasan niya ang isang bartender para umorder ng drinks na agad naman inabot sa kanya pagkalipas ng ilang minuto. Napansin niyang halos ubos na ang iniinom nito kaya naman umorder din siya para sa dalaga na hindi naman nito tinanggihan.

"Hope you don't mind me asking. Are you waiting for someone?" tanong niya rito at tiningnan siya nito.

"What make you think I'm waiting for someone?" balik tanong nito habang pinaglalaruan ulit ang straw sa labi nito.

Napalunok siya sa nakita niyang gesture na 'yon at napatitig siya sa labi nito. It was effortless but gave a strong effect on him that make between his thight harden.

"So, if I'm with someone will you leave?" tanong nito at napangiti siya.

"Maybe? Well, it's depends," nakangiting tugon niya at naiiling na nakangiti ito.

"I'm Brandon by the way and you are?" tanong niya.

"I'm Alex." nakangiting sagot nito saka inabot ang kanang kamay para makipagkamay sa kanya.

Hindi siya sigurado kung parehas ba sila ng naramdaman dahil sa pagdikit saglit ng balat nila. Pakiramdam kasi niya ay parang may kuryente siyang naramdaman. Binalik na ulit nito ang attention sa iniinom nito at base sa nakikita niyang ekspresyon sa mukha nito ay may malalim itong iniisip.

"Are you alone, with friends or family?" tanong niya.

"I'm with my family, actually my Auntie is the one who want to go here. I fell in love with Boracay which she keep on saying since we got her." nakangiting pahayag nito na medyo exagerated ang huling sinabi nito.

"She really have a beautiful smile." sabi niya sa sarili habang pinagmanasdan ang dalaga.

"I think everyone here really love this place especially the beach." tugon niya at tumango-tango lang ang dalaga.

Marami pa silang napag-usapan and he must admit he is enjoying her company so much. She's laughing at his jokes, they exchanged opinions and views. After a while he tried to kiss her, he can feel her hesitation at first but maybe because of too much alcohol she eventually respond to his kiss. She respond in the same intensity he was giving. They were gasping for air when there lips parted. He smiled when he saw something in her eyes. They end up in her place, her lips was so soft and sweet that he can't get enough. No words are need to be spoken because as there lips touched each other they both know what they want. Soon as the door open they wasted no time, eagerly she took his clothes off without parting there lips and he took her dress as well. Her body was curvy but in right places which excite him more. He can feel her hands exploring his upper body. A matter of minutes he was already on top of her caressing every inch of her body. His kisses travel from her lips, went to the neck then rested on her breast that make her moan louder. He loved that sound coming from her mouth. She grab his hair that just added to the fire holding inside of him. She moan every time his touch meets her skin. And when the time he enter, he was surprised and confused at the same time. He stopped, take a quick glance at her face and her body. He was torn between stopping now or just continue with it.

"Please, don't stop now." she pleaded.

That was the magic word that make him want her more. He kissed her and make sure to be gentle on her. It was to late to stop when he saw the hurt all over her face but when he was about to pull-out, her tights around his waist pull him in. He just move as gentle as he can until she finally adjust to his length. When he felt and saw that she was about to come he quicken his phase. They both moaned and literally he thought he was in heaven. What happen was like ectasy, it was so powerful and undeniable. After that epic battle, both of them breathe heavily. Before he lay down beside her he kissed her in the lips. She lay her head on his chest and wrap her arm around his waist. Studying the girl next to him he could not help to be angry with himself. SHE WAS f*****g VIRGIN and the evidence is so visible in the white sheet. So many question he want to know but it can wait tomorrow. He just put his arm around her waist and pull her closer.

Then when he woke up she was no longer in the room and looking around it seems no one else is there aside from him. She was gone and no trace of her. Where the hell she'd go? He was so angry and furious. He felt ackward because usually he is the one who leave first and not the other way around. It was the first time that someone leave him hanging like that. He knew it was just a one night stand but the fact that she was the one who left make a big deal for him.

Pagkatapos ng gabing 'yon sinubukan niyang hanapin ang dalaga sa buong isla pero nabigo siya. Sinubukan niyang magtanong sa receptionist pero hindi Alex ang nakapangalan sa kwartong' yon saka niya naalala na kasama nga pala nito ang pamilya nito. Kahit paano kasi ay umaasa siya na makikita niya ito pagmulat ng mga mata niya. Hindi niya alam kung paano pa ito hahanapin dahil tanging pangalan lang nito ang alam niya. Hindi rin niya nakuha ang number nito at kung taga saan ba ito. Sa tagal ng pag-uusap nila ay hindi niya natanong ang mga bagay na 'yon. May ilang gabi na napapanaginipan pa rin niya ang dalaga at sa tuwing nangyayari 'yon ay hindi niya maiwasang magalit. Ang mas nakakainis pa ay sa tuwing may kasama siyang ibang babae biglang lumilitaw ang imahe ng dalaga. Kaya imbes na makapag-move on na siya ay mas lalong tumindi ang pagnanais niya na makita ulit ang dalaga.

"This will be very interesting." nakangiting sabi niya.

Ngayong nahanap na niya ito, hindi na siya makapag-antay na makaharap ito. Gusto niya na marinig ang dahilan nito. May nakuha siya sa dalaga ng gabing 'yon na alam niyang hindi na niya maibabalik pero may nakuha rin ito sa kanya. Hindi nga lang niya alam kung paano niya 'yon makukuha at malalaman lang niya once na nakaharap na niya ang dalaga. Pangalawa ito sa babae na nag-iwan ng malaking epekto sa kanya at gusto niyang malaman kung bakit. Nanaig sa kanya ang intensyon na mas kilalanin pa ito.
