Chapter 17: Cross the line
"YOU left w-what? What the hell are you talking about?" nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya. Nakakagulat siya, ha.
When did I leave him? And why is he saying that I left him? Does he remember anything? May naaalala na nga ba talaga siya kaya nasabi niyang iniwan ko siya? Kailan iyon? Ni hindi ko maalala.
"I want to know the truth. The fvcking truth. I want to remember you, who you really are in my life, and you didn't tell me about that. So, I wanna do that and I need to cross the line," he said at malamig na rin ang boses niya.
Para akong kakapusin nang hininga nang marahan na iniharap niya ako sa kanya at mabilis na kinulong ng kamay niya ang mukha ko. I violently swallowed because of his face being so close to me. Our chests are finally attached. Shems, my husband is being possessed.
"Cross the line... What is the meaning of that? H-Hey... stay away from me, please. You already have a girlfriend," I said. Even if I want to yell at him but I can't, because of what he's doing to me now. I can't even feel the coldness of the sea anymore because of his body attached to me.
Gumalaw naman siya pero ang akala ko ay di-distansya na siya pero hindi. Bumaba ang isang braso niya sa baywang ko at parang mapipiga ako sa higpit nang yakap na sa akin.
Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ko ang tungki ng ilong niya sa akin. Ganoon na kami magkalapit sa isa't isa.
Oh, goodness... I-I need air...
"If I didn't cross the line. How will I remember you, hmm?" I don't know if it's just me or what because his voice is already sweet! The cold is gone in there.
Umawang ang labi ko nang marahan na hinaplos ng hinlalaking daliri niya ang bottom lip ko. My God... What happened to Jinsen?
Kung noon ay takot na takot siyang mag-cheat kay Sarina Alfred. Ang isipin lang daw ako ay isa ng pagtataaksil. Tapos ngayon ay cross the line na ano na naman kaya itong pinagsasabi niya? Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Habang nagiging mas curious siya ay hindi ko na siya naiintindihan pa.
"Do you want to know what I will answer correctly to Aizen?" marahan ang boses na tanong niya. I opened my eyes and stared at him directly in his eyes.
"I don't want--" damn it, ang galing sumabat.
"If you were my wife? I won't let our relationship break just for you to marry another man, and I'm territorial. What is mine is only mine." That's his attitude. He's a jealous type of man and a fvcking territorial at the same time. He's creepy, yes but I I find it sweet.
Hindi naman siya mahigpit sa akin. Dahil kung ano ang gusto ko ay ibinibigay niya sa akin. Hindi siya nananakal.
Wait a minute... Why does he remember being possessive?!
"I won't let anyone take you from me. I will never let that thing go," he added.
"You're crazy..." Tanging nasabi ko sa kanya.
"You can't blame me, honey. You made me do this and I'm glad to cross the line if you will also be the reason for this," he said and he was really serious about what he said to cross the line.
What the cross the line is he talking about? I'm getting confused with him.
My stomach is tickling again when I feel his hand touching my waist.
"Kung dati ay okay pa sa akin ang curiosity na ito. Ngayon ay hindi na," he said.
"You wanna know what I'm talking about cross the line?" he asked me sweetly and yes his voice is sweet, now.
Before I could even speak he gave me a deep kiss but it was only for a short time because he spoke.
I even saw his lips twitching then it slowly moved.
"That's it, I wanna cross the line and I still want to taste your lips. Fvcking shet," he said and kissed me again.
Nagkakagulo lang ang dibdib ko dahil sa lakas ng tambol nito. Oh, my God! Hinalikan ako ng asawa ko! Hinalikan niya ako habang iniisip niyang may girlfriend siya!
Nararamdaman ko ang paggalaw ng labi niya pero hindi ko magawang tumugon dahil gulat na gulat pa rin ako.
"Uhm," I softly moaned when he bit my bottom lip. His one hand is on my nape at mariin ang hawak niya roon. Tila ayaw niya rin na makawala ako sa kanya.
"Answer my kisses," he whispered on my lips for a moment when he let it go.
My whole system is panicking so I can't keep up with him.
"Damn it. You need to do this, too. Don't be unfair! Fvcking cross the line and kiss me back!" he hissed. If only our situation was not like this, I would have laughed at him. Pero hindi, eh.
I raised both my arms and hugged him around his neck. Naramdaman ko ang pagngisi niya dahil sa ginawa ko.
"Good," he whispered and he kissed me passionately.
His kisses are so subtle and spot on with me. So, it looks like he's the only one moving.
My lips are just like candy when he sucks and holds it back. He's not happy nor satisfied if he doesn't do that. His lips moving and he sticks his tongue in my mouth.
Para na akong kakapusin nang hininga at ang nagsisimula na ring gumalaw ang kamay niya pababa sa baywang ko. Naabot niya ang pang-upo ko at napasinghap ako nang mariin na pinisil niya iyon.
A desire builds in our bodies as time goes by and I feel like I'll burn with the heat and fire from his lips and hands.
"This is almost a T-back panty. Shet, don't wear this anymore," he said and he pointed at my lips again. Nasa kaliwang hita ko na ang kamay niya at marahan na hinahaplos niya iyon.
Naramdaman ko ang pagkawala ng tali sa bikini ko kaya agad na inatras ko ang mukha ko at akmang hahawakan ko na ang string no'n nang mabilis na nahawakan na ni Jinsen.
Dumikit pa rin sa balat ko ang kamay niya at itinali ulit sa leeg ko ang string at pagkatapos no'n ay umiigting na naman ang panga niya na tumingin sa dibdib ko.
Inayos niya rin iyon na akala mo ay may lumabas ng kung ano roon. Tumingin pa siya sa akin bago niya dinala ang dalawang binti ko sa baywang niya at hinawakan ang pang-upo ko saka siya umahon habang pangko-pangko niya ako.
"W-Where are we going?" kinakabahan na tanong ko sa kanya dahil sunud-sunod ang paghakbang niya sa kung saan man.
"I need to do something to lose this," he answered me and I saw that we were entering the cottage where I slept just earlier.
"Jinsen!" I shouted his name when he put me down from the floor.
Ibinaba niya ang puting kurtina sa may pintuan ng cottage. Mabilis na umupo ako pero nakalapit na siya sa puwesto ko at marahan pa ang pagtulak niya kaya makahiga ulit ako.
"Ano'ng gagawin mo? B-Bumalik na tayo," natatarantang sabi ko. Dahil baka kung ano na naman ang binabalak niya at may makakakita pa sa amin dito!
But I can't stop him dahil sa mga matang naglalaro na roon ang apoy ay ako pa ang natutupok.
"Jinsen..."
"Cross the line, remember?" aniya sa akin at kinubabawan niya ako. Umawang ang labi ko sa ginawa niya. Hindi ko naman nararamdaman ang bigat niya sa akin dahil nakatukod pa ang dalawang siko niya sa gilid ng katawan ko.
"But..." Hindi ko na magawa pang magsalita dahil hinalikan na niya ako sa labi.
I felt his hand touching my waist again, my flat stomach and it went down to my legs then he slowly raised my legs. Pinaghiwalay pa niya ang mga binti ko kaya ramdam na ramdam ko na siya roon!
"Jinsen... Let's not do that here, please..." I said it because I'm really nervous! For Pete's sake this is a public place and more people will see us! Embarrassing!
"Honey, I'm not going to do anything but kiss you," he said sweetly and he was cracking up.
"Kung ano-ano ang pumapasok sa utak mo," he told me and tinap-tap pa niya ang sentido ko. I glared at him kaya huminto rin siya pero nakangising pinagmamasdan niya ako.
"Kiss first, okay?" pagpapaalala niya sa akin na as if ako ang humiling no'n para gawin namin ang bagay na iyon?!
Bumangon naman siya at umalis sa ibabaw ko pero napako ang mga mata niya sa tiyan ko. Nagawa pa niyang haplusin iyon.
"Where is he?"
"S-Sino?" I asked him, confusedly.
"Your child." Kinabahan naman ako sa sagot niya. Paanong...
"Pinagbuntis mo na ang anak niyo?" he asked na naman.
"Why did you reach this far? Why should you break up if you already have a child?" he asked me one after another. Curious ang Lolo Jinsen niyo. Pero mababasa ko sa mga mata niya ang galit. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang nakikita ko ngayon o baka guni-guni ko lang din.
"None of your business," I told him, snobbishly and he didn't let me sit.
"Hmm, what would be your husband's reaction if he found out you were kissing another man?" he asked me with amusement.
"How you'll feel if he's the same," makahulugang sagot ko naman.
"Oh, I know. Let's get out of here. The air is getting colder," he said and assisted me to get up but I was still sitting on the table.
Nauna pa siyang lumabas at iniwan ako rito. Now that's some stupid shet. I combed my long hair with my fingers then I stood up.
Jinsen came back, carrying my dress. He's already half-naked pero nakikita ko ang pagkintab ng dibdib niya. And iyong polo niya ang nasa legs ko kanina.
He's being weird again dahil maging sa pagsusuot ko ng dress ko ay kailangan pa niya akong tulungan para suotin ito?
"What... I don't need that," I complained to him because he tied his polo around my waist again. Wala naman akong regla para takpan ang pang-upo ko, ah?
"You do," giit niya sa akin and I didn't even say a word. I rolled my eyes.
"Your girlfriend gave me that so blame her," cold na sabi ko. I expected him to defend his girlfriend but it didn't happen.
"Okay, later," he said but I walked first anyway.
The cold air made my lips tremble. Nawala na ang warm. Urgh. I crossed both my arms across my chest. I'm still cool even though I'm getting cold. Parang inulit ko lang din ang sinabi ko.
I also don't care if Jinsen still follows me. It's up to him. I still can't get over what he's saying he needs to cross the line and I should be the same.
That's what he was talking about. It's okay for him to be a cheater just to remember who I really am.
Who am I really in his life? I like that idea. Huwag niya lang akong pagtabuyan ulit because I will be forced to tell him the truth.
If only I wasn't fragile and loved him, so much. Tsk.
I quickly looked at the hand that was on my waist and I didn't even look back at the owner because I knew him very well.
"Do you agree with what we are going to do?" he asked while we were walking.
"We'll do it? What are we going to do?" I ask even though I already know what he wants to tell me. But I want that clear answer from him. I want to hear.
"This relationship..." Relationship?
"What kind of relationship is that?" kunwari ay inosenteng tanong ko pa.
"This, cross the line. This is a relationship." Damn, honey. We are really in a relationship because we are married but you don't know. You have no idea what we really are.
"We can't," I said briefly.
"Why not?" iritadong tanong niya. The disappointment is in his voice.
"I have Aizen, and you also have Sarina," I answered and looked at the entrance of the hotel in Boracay.
Oh I haven't checked in yet. My companion left me, eh. He's the only one I have here, except my son.
"Still, I want to know you more, and I don't like the idea that you sang earlier in front of a lot of people and you were with those four men," he said and I looked back at him. I also avoided looking because his face was so close to me.
"So, what?" I said, grumpyly. His hands went up and down from my waist and he pulled me closer to him.
"Because I'm jealous. I don't know why that's how I feel when you're with another guy. I'm just annoyed..."
