Hindi ako sinundan ni Leyton and I was not surprised to hear the gates open and close, letting me know he left.
It was Sunday, at mainit pa ang araw kahit alas singko na.
I decided to change to a navy blue mermaid two-piece swimsuit to enjoy the swimming pool.
Tahimik ang bahay nang bumaba ako pagkaraan ng tatlumpong minuto. Napakunot-ako ng noo. Kadalasan ay nagsisimula ng maghanda para magluto ng hapunan sila manang pag ganitong oras. It was almost 6 PM. Well, it was Sunday and they were probably enjoying a good nap.
Tumuloy-tuloy ako sa pool area at hinubad ang suot kong roba at inilagay iyon sa sun chair. It was almost dark and the air was a bit cold but I know the pool has a heated system and there were lights in the pool so it won't be scary to swim.
Feeling like someone was watching, I turned my head curiously expecting to see manang Elsie. Bahagyang napabilog ang mga mata ko nang hindi si manang Elsie ang nakita ko.
Instead, I saw Leyton watching me from the corner of the pool without his shirt on.
I gasped, shocked to see him. Akala ko umalis siya?
Tahimik na patuloy niya akong tiningnan. I contemplated whether I should go or not but decided to stay.
I'm done letting him bully me.
Sa halip ay pumunta ako kabilang bahagi ng pool, malayo sa kanya, at nilublob ang katawan hanggang sa dibdib ko. I thread my arms in the water and swam lazily back and forth completely ignoring him.
Tired and unable to bear the tension in the air, I stopped on the corner several feet away from him and leaned an arm on the pool.
"You need to work on your swimming skills," puna niya habang nakatitig sa akin.
Napatitig din ako sa kanya. It was my first time seeing him shirtless. I always knew he was lean and not overly muscular, I felt his abs that one time, too. My eyes focused on the only tattoo he has on his forearm. How come I never noticed that before?
He looked hot. Very hot. Alam mo 'yong tipo na masakit sa mata? 'Yong mahirap titigan? That's how gorgeous he was. Very manly and he knows it. Damn him. I'd rather drown than tell him that.
Sa halip ay sumimangot ako sa kanya. "I know how to swim," naiinis na pagdedepensa ko.
Nagkibit-balikat siya, "I didn't say you don't. I said you need to work on them," bahagyang tumaas ang gilid ng labi niya, clearly amused by my irritation towards him.
His explanation didn't make sense to me.
"Whatever," naiiritang sagot ko. "Pinaalis mo ba sila manang?"
The house was too quiet. Hindi ko naririnig ang usual na pagkwekwentuhan nila manang at manong.
"Yes," maikling sagot niya.
"At bakit?" masungit na tanong ko.
"I wanted to be alone with you," diretsong sagot niya habang nakatitig ng mataman sa akin.
Nag-iinit ang mukhang iniwas ko ang mukha sa kanya. Damn him and my stupid pounding heart.
"And what makes you think I wanted to be alone with a cheater like you?"
He stared at my face more before letting his eyes go to my cleavage. I fought the urge to hide them. Ayokong malaman niya na naapektuhan ako sa mga tingin niya.
Ngumiti siya. "Are you jealous, wife?" Nangingislap ang mga matang tanong niya.
Napasinghap ako ng malakas sa audacity niya. "W-what...jealous? Me?" may naglalarong ngiti sa labi niya habang nagkakanda-utal ako. That made me angry. Damn you, self.
"Magpapalamon muna ako sa lupa bago ako magseselos sa kababuyang mo, gets?" Nanggigigil na bulalas ko.
He clenched his jaw before glancing away. Pareho kaming natahimik na dalawa. Napaisip tuloy ako kung nasobrahan ako ng insulto sa kanya.
"I didn't cheat on you," sabi niya mayamaya habang tinitingnan ang reaksyo ko.
Nagpakawala ako ng sarkatiskong tawa, "Sure, sabi mo eh."
"I never cheated on you," pag-didiin niya.
I sighed, already tired of the conversation. Sino ba namang aamin basta-basta?
Tumalikod ako at nagsimulang buhatin ang katawan palabas ng pool pero mabilis na lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ako sa beywang. He pressed himself on my back and pinned me on the wall of the pool.
"Leyton-"
"How could I cheat when you're all I think about?" he gritted on my ear as if saying them annoyed him, his breath sent goosebumps on my body.
Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. "You don't mean that," sagot ko nang makabawi.
"No?" he trailed his nose from the back of my neck to the side of my throat. "I thought of you all the time. I imagined you like this, soft and all mine. Tell me, you didn't miss me at all, Kitten?" he said in a low voice before nipping on my skin and licking it when I hissed.
Alam ko ang ginagawa niya. But I'm not going to let him use my body against me.
I'm not going to let myself melt under his kisses. I'm not letting him know I missed him no matter how messed up that sounds.
Humarap ako at tinulak siya. He let me push him away but not before caging me in with both his arms leaning on the pool with me in between.
"Stop lying," nangagalaiting sabi ko.
"You didn't answer me, wife. Did you miss me?"
"No," I denied. "I don't make a habit of missing cheaters," binigyan ko siya ng pekeng ngiti.
Binalewala niya ang pang-iinsulto ko. Sa halip ay dahan-dahang inangat niya ang isang kamay at hinaplos ang leeg papunta sa mukha ko.
He had an intense look on his face as he gently rubbed my check. "That's too bad because I missed you. I missed your face, your fight, most of all," he leaned in, grazing his lips on my ear, "I missed you moaning my name."
Galit na tinulak ko siya, "Yeah? Did you miss me too when you f****d your w****s?"
He 'tsk tsk'. "Such language," he reprimanded before rubbing my lips as if to erase it.
"f**k you," hindi natinag na sagot ko.
"Oh, I will," he smiled. "I'm going to f**k your virgin cunt. I'll make her bleed, too. But it's fine because I'll say sorry using my tongue," his eyes lit up as I shivered. "You remember how it felt, wife? You loved it when I ate your little p***y, didn't you?"
My face burned, scandalized by his dirty words. I felt wet under my wet clothes. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya para hindi niya malaman ang iniisip ko.
"f**k it," nawawalan ng pasensyang sabi niya sabay inangat at pinatong ako sa gilid ng pool. "I'm going to taste ger again. I need to eat her again," he growled.
I was slow to react as he pulled my lower bikini off my legs and dived down on my v****a.
My eyes closed involuntarily, a moan escaping my mouth as he flattened his tongue and licked my entire p***y. He groaned as he kissed me there torridly as if he was kissing my mouth.
"Ah..." Napaungol ako ng malakas at napaliyad nang sipsipin nya ako habang pinasok ang isang daliri.
Inangat niya ang ulo at tiningnan ako, "Tell me what I'm doing to your p***y, wife," he demanded while he slides his finger in and out of me.
"Y-you're fingering me," namamaos na sagot ko.
Umiling siya, "Wrong. Use it. Use the word you enjoyed using earlier."
"Leyton..." I moaned his name when I felt him hooking his finger inside me.
"I'm f*****g you with my fingers. Say it, Kitten," pangungumbinsi niya habang dinidilaan ang loob ng hita ko.
"Leyton, please.." nagmamakaawang sabi ko.
He brought his mouth back on me and licked me while still thrusting one finger in and out.
Wala sa loob na napasambunot ako sa kanya ng naramdaman ko ang pamilyar na sensasyon.
I moaned his name when I came. My legs shook as he licked me through it.
He raised his body a couple of minutes later before laying me on the floor and kissing me hungrily on the mouth. I gasped when he rubbed himself between my legs. He was hard and he felt huge.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinasok iyon sa shorts niya.
I gasped when he used my hand to wrap around him.
"s**t, f**k," garalgal na boses na sambit niya bago ginamit at tinaas-baba ang kamay ko.
He was jerking himself using my hand but I was far too gone to care as I looked at his pleasure-filled face. His eyes were almost black and so full of want.
He groaned and threw his head back as he came on my stomach.
Sabay kaming napatingin doon.
He lets my hand go and rubbed his c*m on my stomach using his hand.
"This is going inside you next time," he promised before kissing me as if he owned me.
------------------------------------
Nakaupo sa kama si Leyton paglabas ko ng banyo. I was mildly surprised to see that he already changed into his normal house clothes. He probably took a shower in the guest room while I used our bathroom.
Matapos kong mahimasmasan sa pool ay agad na nagmadali akong tumakbo at nag lock sa CR.
I don't have control over my body around him. Ilang beses ko ng napatunayan 'yon.
l will need a therapist because what happened can't keep on happening.
He's cheating on me for Pete's sake. And I still can't close my freaking legs.
Nanikip ang dibdib ko nang ma-imagine ko na ginagawa niya sa iba ang ginawa niya sa'kin.
"It was a mistake," paninimula ko.
He merely stared at me, his eyes slowly getting angry.
"It can't happen again," umiling ako. "I won't let it happen again," matatag na saad ko.
"The hell it won't," pagsasalungat niya.
I glared at him. "I'd rather jump off the cliff than let a cheater like you touch me ever again!"
"I said this already and I'll say it one more time. I didn't cheat on you," he gestured for me to stop when I opened my mouth to speak. "I'm going to talk and you're going to listen, got it?"
I pursed my lips.
"I never cheated on you, wife. Those women were clients and business associates. I admit I let myself get photographed with them and I know about the articles. It was not deliberate. Some media are interested in the business side of the world and they've been trying to write articles about me and I thought, why not? Maybe if you saw me with other women then you'd realize you want me for yourself. It was a mistake of course because it only drove you away from me," bumuntong-hininga siya. "So, believe me when I say nothing happened with them, wife. It's only you I want." He said with conviction, pleading for me to believe him.
Hindi ko alam kung paniniwalaan ko siya. I mean it's his words against what I saw. What he let people saw.
Sa kabilang banda, anong makukuha niya sa pasisinunging? It's not like our marriage is out of love. He's an asshole through and through. I would imagine he'd be proud to let me know if he did cheat.
Nag-aalangan na nag-iwas ako ng tingin. I chewed on my lip, "How about Nicola? Paano mo maipapaliwanag kung bakit kayo parehong nasa banyo sa party ng mga magulang mo?"
Lumapit siya sa akin at marahang hinawakan sa magkabilang braso. "Nothing happened with Nicola," umiiling na sabi niya. "She was provoking someone else and thought it would be the best idea to use me. Nothing will ever happen with her, Kitten. My best friend's sister had always wanted someone and it's not me. So I want you to stop thinking of me and her in that way."
I wonder who that someone is? I felt curious but that's not the point. It's not the best time to snoop around and to marites.
"Anong ibig mong sabihin 'nung sinabi mo na may sinabi siya tungkol sa akin?" tanong ko.
"She was jealous of you. But not because of me. Nicola has always been a jealous person. She gets jealous of everyone. It may be that Calum mentioned you and said something nice about you. I don't know but don't concern yourself with her again, okay?" inangat niya ang mukha at tinitigan ako sa mata. "Tell me you believe me," he coaxes.
Tinitigan ko siya ng matagal. His eyes had a resolute conviction in them as if pleading for me to believe his words.
Tumango ako. I bit the inside of my cheek.
"It worked you know," mahinang sabi ko. Allowing myself to be vulnerable. "I was jealous of all those women. I told myself I didn't care. Pero umiiyak ako tuwing may nakikita ako tungkol sa'yo," napapahiyang amin ko. "That night with Nicola hurt the most. I think...I think it hurt because I saw you the night before that. Having dinner at the mall," I gave him a sad smile, "You probably didn't see me or recognize me because I was wearing my scrubs but-"
"I saw you," pag-amin niya habang hinahaplos ang pisngi ko. "I will recognize you anywhere in any form, wife."
Bahagyang namilog ang mga mata ko.
"Pero hindi mo'ko sinundan," nag-aakusang sabi ko.
He smiled, "I did. I made sure you got in the car safely," he sighed. "I was giving you space, baby. I thought it was what you needed."
I averted my eyes from his intense gaze. He didn't let that happen and cupped my face before bringing his lips to mine.
"Are we okay? Can I go home now?" his lips grazed mine as he asked.
Napatawa ako, "It's your house. You can come home anytime."
"Tell me we're okay now, wife," he pressed.
"Yes," I hear myself say unable to say no as he kissed me.
