Ipinark ni JV ang sasakyan nito sa tapat ng apartment ni Alli. Like the usual, hinatid na naman siya nito pauwi. And kahit ilang beses ng naulit ito, naiilang pa rin si Alli sa aktong ito ng binata. She just tries to act as platonic as she can be.
Kahit araw-araw pang gawin ni JV ang paghahatid-sundo sa kaniya, she can never get used to it. Hangga't puro paramdam lang ang binibigay ni JV, she don't want to jump into conclusions. Sa sitwasyong ganito, mas gusto niyang makasiguro kesa mag-assume. Malay ba niya if he was just being too friendly.
'Gaga! Walang kaibigan lang na may special treatment. ' kastigo niya sa sarili.
"Thank you for sending me home, again," aniya na akma ng baba ng sasakyan nito. "Sure ka bang hindi mo ko sisingilin ng pamasahe?"
JV smiled weakly. His expression says that he doesn't want to let her go yet.
"A dinner with you is enough," simpleng sagot nito na tila may other meaning na naman.
"Isa pa yan actually. Masyado mo kong iniispoil." Bago pa niya napigil ang sarili, naibulalas na niya iyon. She hid her embarassment and hope that JV will take it as platonic comment.
Hindi naman ito nagsalita. He just looked at her with a slight grin in his lips. Hindi niya mawari ang tinatakbo ng isip nito. And she can even look into him directly. Bago pa siya tuluyang matunaw sa titig nito, mabilis na siyang nagpaalam.
"I-I'll go now..." nauutal niyang sabi. "I'll just see you tomorrow." She opened the passenger seat door saka mabilis na lumabas. Hindi din naman siya pinigil ni JV. Lumapit siya sa gate, dahang-dahang binuksan iyon na tila hinihintay pang umalis muna si JV but, as usual, hindi ito aalis hangga't di siya nakakapasok sa loob. Kumaway pa siya rito bago tuluyang pumasok sa gate. Naramdaman niya ang pag-andar ng sasakyan ni JV nang makapasok na siya sa loob.
Napairap at napangiwi siya sa sarili nang makalayo na si JV. The truth is, she's starting to get frustrated sa sitwasyon nila. Why can't JV just admit what's his true intentions? Nahihirapan na siyang tanggapin na lang that he was just being friendly. She liked him ever since college and now that he was so close mas lalong lumalalim ang nararamdaman niya rito. He's been treating her like how she wants to be treated. Mahirap magpanggap na platonic lang yun.
At times, she has this urge na unahan na ito. Pero umiiral ang pagiging dalagang pilipina niya. Kahit pa iba na ang kalakaran ng mundo ngayon, she's not that aggressive na gawin iyon. Besides, pano kung hindi naman siya totoong gusto ni JV?Sadyang assumera lang siya? Baka mapauwi siya ng di oras sa San Felipe.
Nakapasok na siya sa apartment niya, inilapag ang gamit sa sofa at sumalampak roon. Isinandal niya ang ulo sa backrest ng sofa saka tumumingalang tumitig sa kisame. Tila siya napagod sa dami ng iniisip at nararamdaman. Can she keep this longer? Kaya pa ba niyang magpanggap na friendship lang ang tratuhan nila ni JV? Napapikit siya. Tila hindi na siya makakakilos sa sobrang drained.
Ilang minuto siyang nasa ganoong posisyon nang tumunog ang telepono niya. Napadilat ang mata niya, bahagyang nilingon ang katabing bag kung saan naroon ang telepono niya na may kasabay na paniningkit ng mata. Sino ang tatawag sa kaniya ng ganoong oras? Mabigat ang katawang inabot niya ang bag at hinagilap ang cellphone. The ring didn't stop kahit medyo natagalan siya sa paghahanap. Lalong nangunot ang noo niya nang mabasa ang caller ID. It was JV! She pressed the answer button.
"I'm outside your apartment's door. Can you let me in?" anito na hindi na siya hinintay na sumagot.
Napalingon siya sa direksiyon ng pinto. Nanatili ang pagkunot noo. May naiwan ba siya sa kotse nito? Mabilis siyang napatayo. JV turned the call off. She headed towards the door and opened it. JV was standing against the wall when she opened the door. Nilingon siya nito with a very serious look.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked in confusion.
In a swift move, JV held the door as he pushed her papasok sa loob ng apartment. Napaatras siya nang halos pasungab na nilapitan siya ni JV. And before she could react, she was pinned on the wall and JV kissed her!
Nanlaki ang mata niya in awe, but it slowly shut off as she responded in JV's kiss. Before she knew it, her arms lifted and wrapped around JV's neck. Thus, the kiss became deeper. It became hotter and intense. JV's arm pulled her waste tighter lifting her up. Naipulupot niya ang mga binti sa bewang nito as he walk papasok sa loob. He carried her towards her bedroom. Naramdaman na lang niya ang paglapat ng likod sa kama.
Then, JV stop for a moment. He looked at her with burning eyes. They were almost out of breath from intense kissing. Napalunok pa ito.
"Please stop me now before everything goes out of hand," he said in his husky voice. Sunud-sunod ang paglunok nito.
She felt even more frustrated. She didn't want to stop. Come what may, naiinip na siya sa urong-sulong na paramdam nito. He started this. Mas lalo siyang mafrufrustrate if she stop him. She can't hold back now. Instead of stopping him, inangat niya ang ulo to kiss him herself.
As if it was JV's que to proceed. Binitawan nito ang labi niya as he sunk his head on her neck. Napaigtad siya in pleasure. JV's lips travelled all over her neck pababa ng pababa. She realized JV had opened up the buttons of her blouse exposing her naked self.
JV's touch is so full of caress. She felt she was being handled delicately. Her wholeself is burning and ramdam din niya ang init ng katawan ni JV. Napasinghap siya when JV's lips touch her bosom. It was a a total different feeling. Her inhibitions got lost in the air when JV pleasurably enjoyed his act. She heard his soft chuckled. Napatingin siya dito.
"Very beautiful," bulong nito in a very wide grin. He was referring to her exposed body.
He was still smiling when he take off all of her clothes. Pagkuwa'y ito naman ang nagtanggal ng suot. He left him for awhile as he rushed to take off his clothes. His eyes kept staring at her. Nang maalis ang sagabal na mga saplot, JV dive in again towards her and gave her a smack on her lips.
"This is now or never. But please let me know if I'm hurting you," he said in between kisses.
She couldn't respond as JV started to trail his lips again all over her. She let out a soft moan instead.
But JV stopped. "I need you to say yes," utos nito.
Nakagat niya ang labi. Naiinis na naman siya sa pabitin nito. But she respond, "yes."
JV grinned wider. He reached for her lips. Softly biting it. "Don't bite your lips, I am supposed to do it," he teased.
As JV went into her deeply, she can't help but to dance with him. She let out a pleasure cry as she felt the pain of doing it for the first time. JV goes deep to her slowly caressing her with so much heat. They both let out a soft moan as they both reach the pleasurable peak.
Napasalampak si JV padapa sa ibabaw niya. Sumusubsob ang ulo nito sa leeg niya. She can feel his weight but she didn't mind. Mas apektado siya sa panibagong sensasyong nadama niya ngayon-ngayon lang. They remained still gasping for air.
"My beautiful Alliyah, you are mine..." bulong nito JV as she felt his soft kisses in her shoulder. Napapikit siya. Feeling another heat bursting out.
Bahagyang napaunat si Alli nang maramdaman ang sinag ng araw na gumagapang sa mukha niya. She slowly opened her eyes. She felt something heavy wrapped around her. Nilingon niya sa kanilang side ang katabi.
JV was still sleeping. Nakayapos ito sa kaniya. Pareho pa rin silang walang saplot. Dahan-dahan siyang umangat. Maingat na kumakawala sa pagkakayapos ni JV. But JV slowly moved
He didn't opened his eyes but he held her even tighter. Napasubsob siya sa dibdib nito.
"Sleep more. It's still early," anito in his groggy state.
"I have to go to work," apila niya.
Biglang napadilat si JV at salubong ang kilay na tinignan siya. "It's Saturday."
She grinned. "I promised Elai that I'll come to work today to help her with the pending proposals. Medyo loaded kami lately."
"Does Elaija giving you a hard time?"
"Ofcourse not. But I think she had too much on her plate and she hired me to help her."
JV pouted and hugged her tighter. "But I want to stay here with you this whole day."
She chuckled. "Para namang baby. I am still sore from what you did to me last night. Mas nakakapagod pa yun kesa sa trabaho ko kay Elai."
JV smiled boyishly. He gave her a peck on her lips. "Did I hurt you?"
Ngumiwi-ngumiwi siya. "A little."
"I'm sorry. I got a little too excited," JV said giving her another soft kisses. Sunud-sunod ang paghalik nito sa kaniya na tila nakakaramdam na naman siya ng init. But before she could totally give in, inawat niya ito.
"Before you push another one. Can we get things straight first?" She said in a firm semi-serious tone. JV's hugged loosen. Pero hindi siya nito pinakawalan.
"What do you mean?"
"What are we, JV?" she said looking straight into his eyes. Hindi nakahuma si JV. Naramdaman niya ang takot sa boses ni Alli. Tila din siya kinabahan. Baka mali ang masabi niya. She don't want to hurt her even slightest.
"I need your words of affirmation. Kasi natatakot akong mag-assume. You just let me feel different pero wala kang sinasabi. And it's frustrating me," she said bursting out what she really feel. Kasabay nang pagkawala ng virginity niya ang inhibitions niya kaya't nakakapagsalita na siya ng diretso ngayon.
To her surprise, JV let out a chuckled and laughed. Tinaasan niya ng kilay ito as if telling him walang nakakatawa sa sitwasyon nila ngayon.
"I'm sorry," natatawang sabi nito. "I'd been whispering my affirmation all night and it didn't sink in? Oh my sweet, Alli. You are really too naive."
"Malay ko ba kung gusto mo lang ng fuck buddy sakin? Or this is just a one night stand?"
Matalim ang tingin binalik nito sa kaniya sa sinabi niya. "Don't ever think about yourself as that, Alliyah! It's not even something to joke about."
Siya naman ang natawa sa reaction ni JV. "So ano nga tayo?"
"Isn't this anymore clearer? We are in your bed, naked. You are mine and I am yours. Unless you have other options," ani JV being sarcastic in his last sentence.
Hindi siya nakapagsalita but she is smiling. She bit her lips to supress smiling wider. She is very happy. JV reached for her lips, kissed it and playfully bit it.
"I said no lip biting. You're turning me on," anito.
They end up kissing more until it lead to more intimate moment as they shared each other as breakfast in bed.
