"Oh, bakit ka namutla diyan? Don't tell me the bastard really knows who your boyfriend is?!" Sobra-sobrang pag pipigil ang ginawa ko para hindi niya mahalata na nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil sa sinabi niya.
"f**k! Does he cover for you?" galit na saad ni Kuya habang nakadirekta parin ang tingin sa pagmamaneho.
"No! Kuya, ano ka ba? I told you, I don't have a boyfriend!" Giit ko sa kanya, feeling confident than earlier.
"Siguraduhin mo lang Febe. I know some of your friends are starting to build their own families already but to me you're still too young for that, okay?" I nodded fervently, even though I was already itching to ask him if he even have any plans for me to get married.
Should I remain an old maid for the rest of my life then?
"It's good we're clear with that." Kuya said, a contented smile was now plastered on his face.
Days passed by so quickly, masyado kaming naging abala sa kanya kanyang trabaho, I barely see Achi and my brother since they were both working on their own respective cases. I am also too preoccupied with my patients.
Saturday night came and I finally get to see them.
"Hey, you look stunning." bulong ni Achi habang inaantay naming bumaba si Kuya.
I was wearing a black body con satin dress with a plunging neckline, the hem of the dress reaches a few inches above my knees. I paired it up with my black jimmy choo aveline bow.
"Parang ayoko nang tumuloy sa party." he said while staring at my dress.
I felt my cheeks heated up, so to cover up my blush, I pretended to scold him.
"Para kang bata." dugtong ko pa ng bahagya siyang ngumuso matapos kong pagsabihan.
"Do kids nowadays do the things I do to you?" he asked teasingly with a seductive smile plastered on his lips.
Sasagot pa sana ako ng marinig namin ang mga yabag ni Kuya pababa ng hagdan. Agad kaming umayos ng tayo bago bahagyang tiningala si Kuya na pababa ng hagdan habang inaayos ang cufflinks niya.
"You'll sleep here tonight¸ Achi?" tanong niya bago kinuha hinablot ang susi ng sasakyan niya sa coffee table.
"Yeah, I think so." sagot ni Achi sabay pasimpleng lingon sakin habang sinusundan namin si Kuya palabas ng bahay.
We decided to just use his car papunta sa hotel na venue ng engagement party nina Tiffany at Jake.
Kuya was driving, Achi was seated on the passenger's seat and I was seated on the backseat. I was busy checking my emails with my phone while they talk about some cases.
They were both lawyers but they worked with different firms. At first nagtaka pa kami nina Tita Tracy doon but later on we realized that they just never get along when it comes to work.
Palaging salungat ang pananaw nila with every case they handle. I can even recall Kuya EJ's horrified and at the same time amazed look while he recalls to me what happened during the rare moments where their professor ask Kuya Forbes and Achi's digests on a same case.
Sobrang contradicting daw ng sagot nila, like totally opposite poles and natakot pa sila na baka nga mag-away pa ang dalawa dahil sa init ng sagutan nila.
Their friends told me that they both have a point and even their professor can't fully decide whose answer is best, so he just ask the both of them to take their seats and they were never called together again.
So we just concluded that they choose to work with different firms so that they can avoid conflicts like that again.
"But her alibi coincide so much with the time of the crime!" Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanila ng marinig ko ang pakikipagtalo ni Kuya kay Achi.
"Yes, but her witnesses are her friends! What if they were just covering for her?" sagot din ni Achi na may kasama pang hand gestures.
Napangisi na lang ako sa kanilang dalawa bago bumalik sa mga emails ko.
"Congratulations, Tiff!" I greeted as soon as I saw Tiffany at the large function hall they had reserved for this event. Agad siyang lumapit sakin at bineso ako sa mag kabilang pisngi bago binati ang dalawang kasama ko.
"Thank you for coming, Kuya Forbes and Kuya Achi! Buti nasiksik niyo pa ko sa schedules niyo." tuwang tuwang saad ni Tiffany at muli akong binalingan ng tingin.
"Andito na sina Pia?" tanong ko ng mauna na ang dalawa para hanapin ang table namin.
"Yeah, wait let's go find them." she said sabay palibot ng braso niya sakin, she gave the event manager a quick look before pulling me somewhere.
"Where's Jake?" tanong ko ng mapansing hindi niya kasama ang fiancé.
"He was entertaining some guests." she said with a smile.
Tiffany looks ecstatic. She looks so gorgeous wearing a white long gown that emphasizes her curves and the slit from her mid thighs down just accentuated her beautiful and flawless legs. She paired it up with a white strap heels and her hair was brushed up neatly.
"Feb!" Agad kong nilingon ang pinanggagalingan ng boses ni Gail.
I smiled sweetly as I approached her, I also notice Pia quietly standing beside her.
They look stunning as well, Gail was wearing a baby pink cocktail dress while Pia showcased her beauty with a burgundy dress with a thin strap reaching inches above her knees.
"Oh my God! You look pretty!" nakangiti puri ni Gail sakin habang tinitignan ako mula ulo hanggang paa.
"Hey! I'm the star of the night here!" kunwaring reklamo ni Tiffany na tinawanan lang namin.
We talked for a while before Jake approached us and excused Tiffany to greet some of their guests.
Naiwan kaming tatlo sa table at patuloy kaming nakikinig ni Pia kung paano nagpropose si Jake. It turns out kasi na kinasabwat siya ng lalaki dahil nga madalas silang mag kasama ng nobya nito.
Abala kaming tatlo sa pag-uusap ng mahapit ng mga mata ko ang table kung saan naka upo sina Kuya. I saw them being surrounded with other guys their age. I also saw Kuya JD and Kuya EJ, well that's no surprise, since Jake's family owns one of the outstanding law firms in the country.
My eyes suddenly landed on Achi's eyes.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay ng makitang nakatingin rin siya sakin. Tinaasan niya rin ako ng kilay bago nginitian at binalik na ang atensiyon sa mga kausap.
I also gazed back at my friends who were busy talking about the preparation for Tiffany's birthday.
"Tiffany's getting married already! Sinong susunod satin?" Gail giddily asked as she look back and forth between me and Pia. Nagkatinginan kami ni Pia at sabay na natatawang umiling.
"I don't even have a boyfriend!" Reklamo ni Pia.
"That jerk's taking too much of my time! Hindi ko na magawang makipagdate man lang." dugtong niya pa.
Pia works as an editorial chief in a publishing company, pero isa sa pinakamagaling na writer ng kompanya ang inasign sa kanya dahil sa sobrang mapili nito.
"Baka naman kasi trip ka talaga. Dati pa naman nagpapapansin sayo yan. Pansinin mo na kasi." Pang-aasar ni Gail bago natigilan at nananatyang tumingin sakin.
"You don't mind naman diba Feb?" worried niyang tanong sakin na tinawanan ko lang.
"Of course! Ang tagal na nung samin." I honestly answered.
"Samin? Nino?" agad akong napalingon ng marinig ko ang boses ng nagtanong.
"Kuya Achi!" gulat rin na bati ni Gail sabay awkward na ngumiti rito.
Bahagya lang siyang tinanguan ni Achi bago muling tumingin sakin, bahagyang naniningkit ang mata.
I gave my friends a helpless look and then excuse myself with him. Agad naman silang tumango at binigyan ako ng naaawang tingin.
My friends didn't know our relationship but they know how protective he was when it comes to me.
I pulled him outside of the function hall and chose a more secluded place where we can talk.
"Talking about your ex?" Nang hahamong tanong niya ng tumigil kami sa isang madilim at tagong area.
Pinili kong hindi sumagot at manatili lang na nakatingin sa kanya.
It was dark but the window nearby gave me enough light to see his handsome face. His jaw tilted and I can see jealousy dancing in his eyes.
"Why so quiet now? Ang saya saya mo naman kanina habang pinag-uusapan niyo ang ex mo." he said and took a huge step forward, cornering me to the wall.
"Si Pia ang tinatawanan namin, hindi ---" he immediately caught my lips with his before I can even mentioned other man's name.
I was immediately lost in his kisses. My hands crawled to the back of his head while I return his sensual kisses with fiery ones.
I felt him pulled me closer, his hands roaming around my back, gently caressing.
I think I was losing my mind with his every touch.
"You should be punished, don't you think?" he whispered between our kisses.
"Hmmm..." I moaned when I felt his hand cupped my breast.
His kiss got more brutal, he was pushing me harder to the wall.
Lumipat ang mga braso ko mula sa leeg niya papunta sa mga balikat niya.
I am trying so hard not to make any scandalous noises but he just won't let me.
Hinabol ko ang mga labi niya ng bigla niyang inilayo ang mukha sakin. Hinihingal kong pinakatitigan ang mga mata niya.
I saw him smirk at me before he kneeled in front of me na agad na nagpalaki ng mga mata ko.
"Can your ex do this?" he said mockingly and when his fingers had contact with my inner thighs, I knew I'll be screwed.
"s**t! Achi!" I cussed out loud when I felt his fingers went inside my underwear, touching me.
A fire suddenly ignited within me.
"Can he make you feel like this? Hmm?" saad niya habang pinagmamasdan ang reaksiyon ko.
"No." habol ang hininga kong saad habang tinitinignan ang tuluyang pag-angat ng dress ko.
"Good. This is all mine." he said as he pushed a digit inside me.
"Achi, please!" I don't even know what I am asking for.
"Please what baby?" he asked huskily, still looking up to me.
"Please..." I pleaded. I almost screamed when he sweep me off my feet and put my legs around his neck, his face buried between my thighs.
"Achi! f**k!" I immediately covered my mouth in between my moans.
I can already feel how wet I am as he taste me. My eyes are rolling backwards from the intense sensations he gives me.
Gamit ang isang kamay ay napasabunot ako sa buhok niya. I heard him groaned while he was busy doing his business.
I keep on chanting his name over and over again. My hand that used to cover my mouth was already placed on his head as well, pulling him closer.
"Faster... Please..." My vision are starting to blur as I felt my orgasm approaching.
"Achi! Achi!" I called out, losing all rationality, my hands on his locks tightened as I felt my self coming.
Hinang-hina ako ng inayos niya ang pagkakatayo ko. Muntik na kong mabuwal, mabuti na lang agad niya akong nasalo.
Agad ko siyang tinignan ng masama ng makabawi ako kahit papano.
"How dare you?!"
"What?" Painosente niyang tanong at bahagyang kinagat ang pang ibabang labi.
"You brute!" I said at hinampas siya sa balikat.
Tinawanan niya lang ako at malambing na hinalikan sa pisngi.
"Come'n baka hinahanap na tayo sa loob." aya niya matapos ang ilang minuto.
I immediately composed myself before we went back to the function hall.
Pagkarating namin ay nag seserve na ng pagkain. We went directly to our table and my brother questioningly stared at us.
"I just answered a phone call outside."pagdadahilan ni Achi bago nagpasalamat sa waiter na nagserve sa table namin ng pagkain.
"How 'bout you young lady? Where have you been?" baling ni Kuya sakin habang nakataas ang kilay.
"Restroom." tipid kong sagot bago uminom ng tubig.
Pasimple kong tinignan si Achi at ganoon rin siya sakin. Nang makita ang ginawa ko ay pasimple niyang tinabunan ang bibig gamit ang palad niya para matago ang mapaglarong ngisi sa mga labi niya.
