SUZY'S POV
"I'm good to go now.. Tara na." kaswal na aya ko na rito pagkalapit sa kanya na nakasandal lang sa gilid ng sasakyan nito.
He didn't answered and just opened the car door beside him for me.
I know what happened inside had something to do with his silence right now.
Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin and just hopped into his car.
Pumasok narin agad ito sa kabila and then without even uttering any words, he drove his car forward after he put on his seatbelt.
Hindi nako nagtangka pang makipag-usap rito. Bagkus, nanatili na lamang akong tahimik sa upuan ko habang nakatingin lang sa labas ng bintana.
I just dont want to talk about what happened. I just dont want to be reminded that he had openly desired to touch me back there.
"Are you upset with me?"
Napalingon nako sa gawi nito when he finally broke the silence between us. Nakatuon lang ang tingin nito sa daan at hindi man lang tumitingin sa gawi ko.
"And why would I be?"
"Dahil muntikan na naman kitang halikan kanina." He said with a shrug, still not sparing me a glance.
I heaved up a breath saka tumingin na uli sa labas ng bintana.
"Hindi mo dapat ginawa yon kanina.. Youve promised me na hindi mo nako aakitin pa..."
"Was it effective?"
With a groan, I glared at his way and this time, a smirk was in his mouth while stealing glances at me.
And now he was amused. This ass!
"No. It wasnt. At kung sinasadya mong gawin yon kanina, just forget about our friendship then dahil halata namang wala kang balak na tuparin ang ipinangako mo sa'kin."
A protest groan instantly came out from him.
"Hindi ko yon sinasadya kanina, okay? I just happened to see you in that state earlier. With you almost naked at hindi ko lang talaga napigilan ang sarili ko."
Nakagat ko na lamang ang pang-ibabang labi ko when he uttered that with low voice.
Bakit ba kailangang ganito ka prangka ang bibig ng taong to? Hindi na'ko tuloy ngayon makatingin ng diretso rito.
"I really wanted to keep my promise to you but it was just so hard to stop myself wanting you, Suzy."
Nahigit ko nalang ang hininga ko when he bluntly admitted that. Making me feel so uncomfortable in my seat now.
Goodness with him! Kailangan ba talaga nitong sabihin sa'kin ang lahat ng gusto nitong gawin sa'kin??
"You have to stop it no matter what, Liam. At kung maaari, 'wag ka ng magsalita pa hanggang sa dumating na tayo sa pupuntahan natin. Kinikilabutan ako sa mga kalokohang pinagsasabi mo." I grumbled with bared teeth.
And I glared at him in annoyance when he suddenly snorted at that in a laugh.
"Tingin mo ba ganun lang kadaling pigilan 'to, Suzy? I couldnt even get your naked image out of my head right now and it was a complete torture for me na hindi man lang kita pwedeng hawakan ngayon because for sure, youre going to strangle me to death."
"Well, buti naman at alam mo dahil hindi talaga ako magdadalawang isip na sakalin ka ngayon kapag gagawin mo yon." Bantang saad ko na rito kahit ang lakas na ng tibok ng puso ko ngayon. Causing him to smirk at my way now.
"Kung alam mo lang sana kung gaano kahirap tong nararamdaman ko ngayon, maiintindihan mo sana ako.
"It's just your lust, Liam. I know you're having a hard time stopping your lust for me kaya naiintindihan ko kung gaano kadumi ang nasa utak mo ngayon. Dahil 'yon naman talaga ang nararamdaman mo everytime you see a woman na halos wala ng suot na damit. That was why you were always in the headline everyday kasama ang iba't ibang babae sa hotel. Hindi mo mapigilan ang pagnanasa mo sa kanila. At ngayon balak mo naman akong isama sa listahan ng mga babae mo!"
A loud disapproval groan instantly escaped from him when I stated that fact. His jaw was tight and so his grip at the stirring wheel habang matalim na itong nakatingin sakin. Probably I had hit some nerve there.
"It wasn't like that, Suzy.." he growled out.
"Just keep on driving, Liam and never say I was wrong dahil hindi ako sumama sa'yo rito to talk about your lust for me."
Napakapit nalang ako sa bintana sa tabi ko nang bigla nalang lumakas ang takbo ng sasakyan nito. Swerving through the highway like he was in a race right now.
This jerk!
Talagang balak pa niyang patayin ako sa kaba ngayon! Wala namang ibang sasakyang dumadaan sa daang tinatahak namin ngayon but I just don't want to die in heart attack here bago pa man kami maaksidente rito.
"Liam, gusto mo bang maaksidente tayo rito ngayon dahil sa ginagawa mong 'to???"
"No."
I cursed out when he firmly refused that without even sparing me a glance. Goodness with this man!
"Sabi mo pigilan ko 'tong pagnanasang nararamdaman ko sa'yo so I'm doing that now." He sarcastically added while racing through the highway now like a mad racer.
Dahilan para magpanic nako ngayon dahil sa takot na may mangyaring masama samin.
"Liam! Itigil mo na'tong sasakyan mo ngayon before I'd stop you myself! Baka mabangga pa tayo!!" I shouted at him in a rather loud voice habang mahigpit na'kong nakakapit sa upuan ko ngayon.
"No. I won't stop. You said I have to stop my lust for you no matter what so I'm doing it now."
"At tingin mo magagawa mo yon by taking us to hell by driving this fast? Well, you are mad!!!"
Napapamura na lamang ako sa inis when he even afforded to smile right now while were in this darn situation. Oh God! Pwede ko bang patayin nalang ang gagong to??
"Dont worry, Suzy. I never thought about taking you to hell anyway but I always thought about taking you to heaven with me."
When he teased that while throwing me a meaningful smirk, I couldn't help but held my breath as his words sent a sudden shivers down to my spine.
This bastard! He was trying to seduce me again! Wag kang magpapadala sa mga sinasabi niya, Suzy! He's a playboy and he's just after for his lust!
With bared teeth, pinilit ko ng baliwalain ang mga sinabi niyang yon and just pulled my senses back.
"Stop the car now, Liam! Kung gusto mong magpakamatay ngayon pwes ikaw nalang at wag mo nakong idamay rito!"
I was grateful when my voice came out normal when I shouted that.
Instead of stopping the car, the bastard just speed up more with a small smirk peeking through the side of his mouth. It was obvious na pinaglalaruan lang ako ng gagong to! Enjoying my predicament here when I myself was almost ready to pee on my jeans now!
"Just calm down, Suzy. Just give me a few more minutes to calm myself. Just enjoy this ride with me.." aniya pa sabay kindat sa'kin.
Aba't--
"Although this would've been more fun if you're riding with me in my bed right now."
When he bluntly added that without even hiding his lust for me, nahigit ko nalang ang hininga ko habang bigla nalang uminit ang buo kong katawan dahil sa mga kalaswaang pinagsasabi nito sa'kin ngayon. Awakening all the unfamiliar feelings I have in me that I never know existed inside of me.
Then came that strange aching below my navel.
Oh God! Dapat hindi nako sumama pa sa gagong to ngayon. Mamamatay yata ako ng maaga sa mga kaharutang pinagsasabi nito sakin!!!
Groaning in protests, ibinaling ko nalang ang tingin ko sa labas ng bintana and just cursed him out in my head.
This way, I would be safe from him. Because the more I stared at his eyes, the more I felt like I was being hypnotized. As if some magnetic energy was pulling me towards him at hindi yon maganda!
I have to stop whatever feelings I have for him right now dahil wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko. Dahil kapag hindi ako makapagpigil, baka mawala nako sa sarili and Id just throw myself on him na tiyak pagsisihan ko lang sa huli.
Nang hindi nako umimik rito, I felt the car slowed down. And then I heard him released an audible sigh.
"I'm sorry..."
I heard him mumbled that with low voice after a few moments of silence. I didnt glanced at his way. The darkness outside was just too calming to watch right now kaysa tingnan ito.
Muli, narinig ko na namang bumuntong-hininga ito. Probably with me completely ignoring him now.
Well, just kept on ignoring him, Suzy. That way, you will be safe
The ride throughout the hospital was a total pin-drop silence. Walang ni isa samin ang nagsalita hanggang sa dumating na kami sa loob ng kwarto ni Samantha.
Naabutan naming nakaupo sa gilid ng kama nito ang medyo may edad na babae while Sam was still lying on her bed, unconscious while her other leg was wrapped with bandages habang may mga galos naman ito sa noo.
Oh no. Mukhang matindi ang pagkabangga ng sasakyan nito dahil kahit tulog ito, it was obvious in her face that she was in pained right now.
And I felt sorry for her.
Gusto kong lumapit rito pero dahil wala naman akong ibang magawa rito kundi antayin na lamang itong magising, pinili ko nalang na umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa tabi ng silid na yon.
I discovered that the woman who was beside her right now was actually her biological mother. The woman Sam thought was just her aunt but no.
It turns out that she was just being adopted by her deceased parents and her biological parents were still alive.
Masaya akong buhay pa ang mga totoong magulang nito but knowing that the truth would definitely hurt her, di ko na mapigilang mag-alala rito.
"She'll be fine.."
I turned to Liam beside me when she suddenly mumbled that. Nakatingin lang rin ito sa walang malay na si Sam while worry was visible in his eyes.
"Maganda sana kung nandito ang gagong Cameron nayon ngayon."
That made me frowned at him now as I remembered Cameron, his friend.
"Where is he by the way? Bakit ba hindi s'ya makapunta rito ngayon?"
He scoffed and shook his head.
"Of course, inaayos ang pagpapakulong niya sa tunay na ama ni Sam, Suzy. At siguro, nagmumukmok na rin dahil alam niyang masasaktan ng lubos si Samantha sa katotohanan."
That piqued my attention now.
"Ipapakulong niya ang tunay na ama ni Sam? Pero bakit, Liam?"
"Of course. Sa dami ba namang kamalasang nangyayari sa buhay ni Sam, he should really rot in jail to pay for his sins dahil siya nga ang dahilan kung bakit muntikan ng maimbalido ang anak niya ngayon rito."
I gasped in surprise at that piece of news.
Oh God. So that was why...
Just the thought kung gaano ito masasaktan kapag nalaman niya ito, I couldnt help but feel more worried about her now.
Her life was just too complicated than I thought it was. Even more complicated than my own.
Hindi nako umimik pa while I just stared at her on her bed. Liam doing the same beside me.
But just after an hour, Sam had finally regained her consciousness. And the moment she woke up, si Cameron agad ang unang hinanap nito and just seeing her disappointment na wala ito rito ngayon, mas lalo pakong nag-alala rito.
Hindi na ito nagsalitang pang muli hanggang sa makatulog na naman ito.
She must really be upset with his absence. And she must've really love that cold man para maging ganito ito ngayon ka dismayado.
"Matulog na muna kayo, Liam. Ako ng magbabantay kay Samantha rito."
When Mrs. Romero suggested that after a few minutes na makatulog uli si Samantha, Liam nodded at her in agreement.
"Bibisita nalang po uli kami rito. May trabaho pa rin po kasi kami. I'll just inform Cameron about Samantha's condition."
The woman just nodded at that while giving us a weary yet grateful smile.
"Are you going to drive back to Manila tonight?"
Tumango na kami rito when she'd queried that with furrowed brows.
"Oh no. What a pity. I suggest na bukas nalang kayo bumiyahe. Mas mabuting nagcheck-in nalang muna kayo diyan sa malapit na inn, Liam. Sobrang lalim na ng gabi and it would be dangerous to drive at this hour. Baka mapano pa kayo sa daan."
"No, maam. May----"
"I think we should do that.
I scowled when he cut that off habang nakangiting tumingin sa gawi ko.
Nababaliw na ba ang gagong to?
A satisfied smile instantly appeared in her face when Liam stupidly answered that.
"Yes. You should really do that dahil ayokong may masama pang mangyari sa inyo sa daan and Samantha wont definitely like that." Sang-ayon pa ng ginang, causing me to groan now in protest.
"I dont think we can do that, Mrs. Romero."
That caused her to give me a questioning look in her eyes.
"May trabaho pa po 'ko bukas kaya kailangan kong makauwi agad ngayon." I reasoned out, determined to go home tonight.
"Trabaho? Naku iha, mas mabuti pang mamayang umaga nalang kayo umuwi. That way, mas makakapaghinga kayo ng maaga. Ilang oras din ang biyahe pabalik sa Maynila at baka mapano pa kayo sa daan dahil sa antok niyo and I'd be sumb if I'll allow that. So no. You better stay here for tonight." She firmly said without leaving any space for argument.
Dahilan para mapasimangot na lamang ako rito. Quite against with it.
Well, may point naman ito kaso lang, kung kasama ko naman ang Liam nato, baka mapapatay ko na talaga to ngayon if he ever attempt to seduce me again.
At ang pinag-aalala ko rin, baka hindi ko na naman ito mapigilan kapag may gagawin na naman ito sa'kin.
"Just go home tomorrow, iha. Wag ng matigas ang ulo. Nagkakaintidihan ba tayo rito?"
When she asked that with no nonsense look, wala nakong ibang magawa kundi marahan ng tumango rito.
Causing him to nod at that in satisfaction.
Sa inaasta nito ngayon, parang alam ko na kung saan nagmana si Samantha...
"Sige po. Aalis na po kami."
When Liam bid that, tumango na agad ang ginang sa'min.
And with heavy steps, I followed Liam outside of that room and down to his car at the parking lot.
"Get in now, Suzy. May malapit lang na inn sa lugar nato kaya makakapagpahinga ka na rin agad."
With a groan, pumasok nako sa loob ng sasakyan nito.
Then the car moved after he buckled up his seatbelt around him. Nanatili na lamang akong walang imik sa upuan ko while he began to search for some inn around here. And it didnt took him long to spot some decent inn. May iilang sasakyan ng nakaparada sa harapan ng two storey na inn nayon and a fee people were inside.
The lighting outside the establishment was bright enough to lit up the place.
At sana nga, makatulog ako ng maayos sa lugar na'to.
Wala naman sigurong magagawang kalokohan ngayon ang gago na'to dahil sa magkahiwalay na silid naman kami matutulog ngayon.
At that thought, I somehow felt at ease now.
