Ginising niya lang ako nang nasa condo na kami. Minulat ko ang mapupungay kong mata and he was outside the car already assisting me na para bumaba na. I gathered all the energy to stand up straight but failed.
He reached for my waist and lead me near the elevator. He pressed the arrow up button and we are inside now. Tumunog ang elevator, senyales na nakarating na kami sa floor ng unit ko at bumaba na kami sa floor ko.
Hawak hawak pa rin niya ako sa baywang ko when we reached my door. He got my bag from me at hinanap ang susi. When he found it, agad na binuksan niya ang pinto. We were inside when I forced his hands to let me go.
He was shocked and I slowly went to my sofa to sit and rest my head. "Why are you here, Ryu? How did you know I was there? Why did you come to pick me up."
I heard he locked the door and immediately went to me. He squatted in front of me and just stared at me. "Why do you always have to rescue me everytime I get drunk?" may diin na pagkakasabi ko sa kanya.
Nilalabanan ko ang aking kalasingan at pilit na hinarap siya. I saw anger in his eyes and a tiny hint of disappointment. Patuloy niya lang akong tinititigan when he suddenly smirked at nilapit ang bibig niya sa aking tenga, "I told you years ago to never get drunk with another man, didn't I, baby?"
Napanganga ang bibig ko when he faced me again. "I wasn't! Ni hindi ko nga alam na nandoon si Calvin. We just happen to meet there, that's all."
He chuckled and he stood up. "Oh, really, Ky?"
I stood up to face him. Bahgyang nawawala ang kalasingan ko. How dare him conclude things na wala naman siyang alam. At ano naman sa kanya if kasama ko si Calvin. Siya nga si Julianna kasama niya pero hindi ko siya inaano.
"Bakit ko ba kailangan magpaliwanag sayo? Eh, ikaw nga kasama mo si Julianna kanina but I didn't question you so why are you questioning me?"
He stepped forward. Moving closer to me, causing me to step back until I reached the wall. Tuluyan nang nawala ang antok ko when positioned both his arms from my side, locking me inside him.
"Were you..jealous?" he smirked. Napalunok ako sa tanong niya. I took a deep breath and gathered the courage to answer him. "Of course, not!" The anger in his eyes were replaced by amusement. He leaned near my ears and whispered, "Are you sure, baby?" his soft voice sends shivers through my body.
"Bakit ko naman pagseselosan ang babaeng iyon?" sagot ko sa kanya nang nanghahamon ang aking mga mata. He grinned at bigla niya akong inatake ng isang halik sa mga labi ko. Nagulat ako sa ginawa niya pero hindi ko magawang magprotesta. Sinubukan ko siyang itulak pero nanghihina ako sa mga halik niya.
Fuck it. I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I wrapped my arms aound his neck returning the intense kisses he is giving me.
I felt his hands moved to my waist to pull me closer to him. Inaangkin ako ng mga halik niya na para bang sobrang sabik siya rito. His kiss is deeper now as he positioned his left hand to my nape while his tongue is making its way in my mouth.
I opened my mouth so his tongue can meet mine. Hawak niya ako sa baywang ko as his hold gets tighter. His mouth moved to my ears as I rest my head to his shoulder. Hinalikan niya ako sa tenga at bumababa ang kanyang labi sa aking leeg.
Nagpakawala ako ng mahinang ungol sa ginawa niya. I heard him chuckled. Nakasandal ako sa pader ngayon nang binalik niya ang kanyang labi sa labi ko.
His left hand moved to my nape habang nakahawak pa rin sa baywang ko ang isang kamay niya. Nabalik lang ako sa reyalidad nang marinig kong tumtunog ang cellphone niya.
Patuloy pa rin niya akong hinahalikan. Nakaipon ako ng lakas at naitulak ko siya. His eyes went dark as he faced me. His phone kept ringing. Kinuha niya mula sa bulsa niya ang cellphone at pinindot iyon.
"Yes, Ianna, sorry I left early. We will sort it out tomorrow. Alright, see you."
Di ko na siya tiningnan at gusto ko na siyang paalisin. "Can you please leave, Ryu?"
His eyes widened sa narinig. Nagbabanta siyang lumapit muli sa akin pero itinaas ko ang kamay ko at pinigilan siya. "Stop, right there. Umalis ka na, please."
He sighed. Hindi na nagsalita. Tumalikod siya at tuluyang lumabas ng condo ko. Napaupo ako sa sahig, feeling confused.
What the hell just happened? Di ako makapaniwalang bumigay ako sa kanya. I stayed that way for a long time when my phone rang. It was Cece. "Hey, where are you? You okay?"
"Y-yes, nasa condo na ako. Sorry di na ako nakapagpaalam. I went home already. I was with Ryu. I'm tired, Cece. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to bed now."
"Oh, okay then. Get some rest. Pauwi na rin kami ni Leo." Si Cece.
I ended the call. At least, okay na sila ni Leo. Tumayo ako at dumiretso sa banyo ng aking kwarto at nagshower. Sinusubukan kong alisin ang isip ko sa mga nangyari kanina.
I can still his lips on mine. Naghilamos ako ng paulit ulit. Ayoko na namang masaktan. Masyado naman na akong tanga pag mauulit pa ang dati. Stop thinking too much about it, Ky.
I finished showering at nagsuot na ng damit na pantulog. Binagsak ko ang katawan ko sa kama. Masyadong mabigat ang nadarama ko ngayon. How could he kiss me intensely when he needs to sort things out with another woman?
I shut my eyes at pinilit kong makatulog.
Nang matapos kung ubusin ang dala ni Ryu sa akin, I headed to the shower and washed the hangover out of my system.
Nagbihis ako at ngayon ay isinuot ko ang aking bohemian mini dress. Naglagay ako ng powder sa mukha at konting lipstick then I headed downstairs.
Nasa living area silang lahat at tila ako na lang ang hinihintay. "Finally, you are ready." Si Mommy. "Sorry, we couldn't come last night. But at least the four of you enjoyed the party with your new friends."
I smiled akwardly. Nagtayuan na silang lahat at tumungo kami sa labas para sa maglunch out sa beach area ng The Cove. Tinabihan ko si Jigs habang naglalakad. "Please tell me na hindi nila alam lahat ng detalye sa nangyari kagabi?" tanong ko referring sa pasgsusuka ko at pagkarga ni Ryu sa akin pauwi dahil sa sobrang kalasingan.
He shook his head, "Don't worry, we left that part out."
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Ryu was walking ahead of us. I stared at him for awhile. It was just a few minutes and we were at the beach side. May nakareserbang table sa aming lahat and we sat there.
The food our parents ordered are too much. May shrimp, squid, fish, tapos may kakanin, desserts, everything. It was a simple lunch. Just to celebrate the upcoming anniversary of Tito and Tita. Nagsimula na kaming kumain habang nagkukwentuhan.
Nang matapos na kami, nagtungo na kami pabalik sa villa para makaligpit ng mga gamit at para magready na pabalik sa bahay. I hurried upstairs to my room and packed all my things.
Nang matapos ang lahat sa pag-eempake, bumaba na ako. "Mommy, hatid niyo na lang po ako sa condo ko, doon na po ako didiretso. Di na po ako dadaan ng bahay." Pakisuyo ko kay Mommy. Narinig ni Tita Yllis ang sabi ko kay mommy at bigla siyang sumagot. "Let Ryu drive you to your condo instead, iha. Doon din siya didiretso sa condo. Do you mind na ihatid si Ky, son? Jigs and Rav will go straight sa bahay with Mang Ernesto."
Ryu smiled at his mom, "No po, Mama. I can take Ky."
My mom clapped her hands as Ryu agreed. "It' settled then. Go with Ryu, anak." She said while patting my shoulders. I looked at Ryu only to find out he was staring at me too. Binaling ko ang tingin kay Mommy habang nagreready siya.
