Santiago Brothers 1: Leandro Lagdameo

Chapter 16

Nang magising kinabukasan, agad niyang hinanap si Leandro. Dahil sa pagod nang nagdaang araw ay maaga siyang nakatulog at hindi na nakasabay sa hapunan. Alas singko pasado pa lang pero alam niyang gising na ito para mag-ehersisyo. Laging ganoon ang naaalala niyang routine nito. Gulat na gulat na naman si Yaya Meling nang makita siyang walang suot na abito kaya agad siyang nagpaliwanag dito. Lalo pa itong nangulit sa kanya at kay Leandro na tinawanan na lang niya. Sinasabing binata pa ang alaga nitong pasaway. “Nasaan po si Leandro?”

“Nandoon siguro sa tabing-dagat. Lagi namang nandoon iyon kapag ganitong oras. Baka nag-te-training lalo hija sa takot na bugbuin mo ulit," biro nito.

"Hindi po, yaya," nahihiyang sabi niya.

"Pero Tiffany, hindi mo na ba mahal ang alaga ko? Alam mo, ikaw lang ang kaisa-isang babaeng dinala niya rito. Kaya lang madre ka na pala.”

“Totoo po?” Parang biglang magbe-breakdance ang dibdib niya sa hindi maipaliwanag na excitement.

“Naku, oo. Hindi ko sinasabi ito dahil gusto kong magkabalikan kayo. Malakas ang tama sa ‘yo ng magaling na lalaki hindi lang makapaniwala sa nararamdaman niya. Pagbigyan mo na sana.”

“Ahh ehh po,” nalilitong sagot niya.

“Pasensya ka na sa akin. Nawala sa isip ko malapit ka nang maging ganap na Madre. Malaki na tuloy ang dapat kong ilapit sa kumpisal. Pasensya ka na, Tiffany, kung minsan ay sadyang matabil ang dila ko."

"Kayo talaga, Yaya Meling. Ayos lang po iyon."

Iniwan na siya nito at sinabing babalik sa pagtulog. Hindi na lang muna siya kumain at pinuntahan agad si Leandro. Medyo malayo ang paborito nitong spot ng pag-e-ensayo. Nasa pinakadulong bahagi nga ito ng tabing-dagat at nag-te-training mag-isa. As usual walang mga security guard sa paligid dahil natutulog pa ang mga ito at malayo na iyon sa beach house. Isa pa, ayaw na ayaw ni Leandro na nagagambala kapag nag-e-ensayo. After all, secure naman ang buong beach property na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya nito. Tahimik lang siyang lumapit upang hindi ito magambala. Kahit madilim pa ay kilala niya ang taas at pangangatawan nito. Pinagmasdan niya ang hubad na katawan nito. “Ang macho talaga! Likod pa lang ulam na! Lord, patawarin niyo po ako. Bakit naman kasi ang aga pa eh may tukso agad na nakahantad sa harap ko? Naku, Leandro, badtrip talaga!”

“Kumain ka na ba?” Sabi nito nang tumigil sa paggalaw. Napangiti siya dahil napaka-alerto nito at nalamang nandoon siya kahit nakatalikod ito. Hindi talaga ito nagbabago at tila mas gumaling pa. Nailang tuloy lalo siya pero nakakaaliw itong panoorin kaya hindi siya umalis.

“Oo, busog na busog na ako sa iyo, Leandro.” Ano ba itong naiisip niya. Hindi tuloy niya mapigilan ang pagbangon ng iritasyon sa sarili pero ayaw naman niya itong tantanan. Paulit-ulit niyang ipinapaalala na isa pa siyang novice. Pero tila tuksong nagsusumiksik sa isip niya na nasabi niya na kay Reverend Mother na lalabas na siya. Sa mga oras na iyon ay dama niya ang tunggalian bilang isang konserbatibong babaeng ilang taong tumira sa kumbento. Oo, ilang beses nang may nangyari sa kanilang dalawa dati pero hindi iyon sapat na dahilan para magwala na siya. Tumikhim siya. “Hindi pa, Leandro.” Noon ito humarap at sinabihan siyang kumain na muna. “Great balls of fire! Bakit wala pa itong asawa? Mabuti na lang at wala pa! Iyong abs mo na lang ang breakfast ko!” Naalala tuloy niya ang crush niyang British actor at martial artist na si Scott Adkins. Hayun ito gwapong-gwapo at machong-macho sa paningin niya. Lalo tuloy nagkaroon ng tila isang riot sa buong sistema niya.

“Sister Mary Anthony, medyo ang awkward,” nakangiti pero parang nahihiyang sabi nito habang hinihimas ang batok.

“Huh?” Noon niya lang napansin na pinagpipiyestahan at nilalapastangan na niya ang katawan nito. Malamang huling-huli siya nitong nakatitig dito. “I m-mean m-mamaya na. Can I w-watch you?” Natutukso na siyang umamin na hindi na siya kasapi sa kumbento pero ayaw niya muna.

“Napakaaga pa eh. Bumalik ka kaya muna sa kuwarto at matulog ulit.”

“Okay lang.” Nagkibit-balikat lang ito at bumalik sa pagpapractice. Gustung-gusto niyang pinapanood ito dahil para bang wala itong hindi kayang gawin. Parang walang gagawa ng hindi kaaya-aya sa kanila basta kasama ito. Pakiramdam niya minsan ay si Superman ito pero walang kryptonite. Bigla siyang napangiti nang maalala ang pagtuturo nito sa kanya. Ingat na ingat ito sa lahat ng training nila at parang natatakot na baka masaktan siya. Hayun at ito pala ang masasaktan sa kanya. Naenggangyo tuloy siya kaya bigla siyang tumakbo palapit dito at pilit tinapatan ito.

“Tiffany, baka masaktan ka. Wala ka na yatang practice,” sabi nito. Hindi naman ito lumalaban ng offensive. Sa halip, puro depensa lang ang ginagawa nito. That made her smile more and attack again. Nahuli nito ang kamay niya at naihiga siya sa buhanginan. Dinaganan siya nito at pinigilan ang mga braso at binti. “Napakulit mo, sister,” natatawang sabi nito.

She did not know what came over her when she felt a deep longing to stay beneath him forever. The feeling was so sudden and overwhelming that she could not help but smile. Nginitian lang din niya na ginantihan din nito ng isang ngiti. Napakabango pa rin nito kahit pawis na pawis na lalong nakadagdag sa animalistic s*x appeal nito. Naalala niyang ganoon lagi ang nangyayari. Magpa-practice sila na mauuwi lagi sa halikan sa buhanginan sa ilalim ng sikat ng araw. Sabay na nabura ang mga ngiti nila at namalayan na lang niyang nakalapat na ang mga labi nito sa kanya. Medyo marahas ang paraan ng paghalik nito para bang nangangailangan ito na agad niyang tinugon ng parehong intensidad. She longed for that kiss for years without even realizing it.

Huminto ito at tumitig sa kanya. Bahagya nitong inilayo ang mukha sa kanya. “P-pasensya na, baby, er, Tiffany.” Babangon na sana ito pero kusang pumulupot ang mga braso niya rito.

“Ikaw eh,” pabiro niyang sabi at pinatulis ang nguso para dumampi sa mga labi nito.

“You witch,” naaalarma nitong sabi nang marealize ang ginagawa niya.

“Why?” Painosente siyang nagtanong bago mabilis na kinintalan ng halik ang mga labi nito. Maging siya ay nagulat sa pagiging lukaluka niya. Ano ba naman ang naisipan niya at hinalikan ito? Nabura ang mga ngiti nila ngunit nanatiling nakatitig lang sila sa isa’t isa. “L-Leandro,” tanging nasabi niya nang bitawan nito ang mga kamay niya at haplusin ang kanang pisngi niya. She felt tingly all over. That was so familiar and reassuring.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” He tried his best to stand up, but her arms and legs were circled around his neck and torso. She really didn’t know what came over her that she chose to ignore the warning bell no matter how loud and deafening it was ringing.

She looked at him again and drowned in his gaze. His eyes were filled with desire. Suddenly, she was confused that she was about to push him away. “No?” She really wanted to panic, but she did not want him to leave her. She gasped when she felt his hard maleness poking her. Bigla tuloy siyang nataranta pero hindi niya magawang iiwas ang tingin dito.

“That’s it.” He kissed her hungrily like there was no tomorrow, and she responded with equal fervor. After a while, his hands started to caress her face and rub her all over. They felt each other and reignited the fire she thought was gone years ago. She did not mind at all. All she cared about was Leandro was there, kissing her again after four years, making her feel like she was the most beautiful woman on Earth, and burning her with the desire that kept driving her wild. Before she knew it, he already unbuttoned her top and stared at her exposed breasts.

The heat was so intense that it burned her rational side away. But when the cold wind touched her skin, she went back to her senses. Doon pa lang siya bahagyang natauhan. “Leandro, baka may makakita.” Para siyang napahiya kaya mabilis niyang tinakpan iyon ng mga braso.

“Baby, don’t. No one will see us,” awat nito at patuloy lang na pinagmasdan ang mga iyon. “They’re beautiful, more beautiful than the last time I saw them.”

“But-”

“We’re here. Do you want me to stop?” Pero hindi na siya nito hinayaang makasagot dahil mabilis na sinakop ng mga labi nito ang mga labi niya. Muli itong tumigil sa mahusay na pang-aakit at tumitig sa kanya. “Do you want me to stop?”

“N-no, don’t stop.”

“Tell me you want me.”

“I want you, Leandro.”

He started the whole thing again which sent her flying to the point of no return. “You are so beautiful, baby.”

“Bolero talaga!”

Umalingawngaw ang malakas na halakhak nito bago siya nito muling pinagmasdan at haplusin ang mukha niya. “I missed you,” sabi nitong wala nang ngiti. His body glistened as the sun started to rise and warm them up. Then, a sudden gush of tenderness flooded her that she ached to make love to him again.

“Me, too,” she replied and cupped his face to claim his lips. It was her chance to deepen the kiss. When he groaned in delight, she knew she still had power over him. There she was, purring like a kitten, asking him to be caressed. She was sure there was no turning back, but it was strange that she did not feel any inhibition.

“Still impatient, huh.” He started showering her face with wet kisses before his lips traveled down her neck and bit her exposed shoulders. He went to her breasts and started nibbling and kneading them simultaneously.

That was when an inexplicable fuel of passion filled her and all she could hear were her moans and incoherent cries. “Leandro,” she said. His mouth traveled down again to her navel before it reached the pinnacle of her womanhood. His tongue started to lash back and forth while she continued calling his name.

“Yes, my Lois Lane?” Nakangisi ito nang mag-angat nang tingin.

“Huh?” She could barely understand him. Her vision was blurry as she got drowned in glorious sensations.

“I feel like I'm Superman, baby,” he naughtily said before plunging in again.

“Leandro, don’t stop, don’t ever stop!” But when something inside her started to build up, he stopped and went back on top of her again. She felt a slight pain below when their bodies joined.

He was momentarily stunned before smiling at her. “Are you okay?”

“Y-yes. Kiss me again.” He did and started to move gently until the pain ebbed away. He kept thrusting while she started to dance in her rhythm. Amidst the cold breeze, the comforting sound of the waves, and the beauty of the dawn, they revealed their secret yearnings. She kept kissing him and feeling his chest. “Leandro, I’m, I’m..”

“Coming? I’m with you, baby,” he moved faster and harder like the world would split into two.

“Leandro, goodness!” She continued to call his name as his groans became louder and drove her wilder. When they both reached the c****x, an ecstatic feeling seemed to lift her spirit to the point that no one has ever reached. Once again, she felt how to leave the Earth for a while and go to a hidden paradise that only Leandro could bring her. And as he spilled himself inside her, he buried his face in her hair and they both shuddered.
