LILY WAS LYING AT THE BACKYARD. Lunes na naman, pero pinaalam na niya sa sekretarya na hindi papasok ng office.

Monday sucks, she thought as she adjusted the sunglasses she was wearing. What a lucky bitch. She always… sucks.

Nakahiga siya sa isang puting poolside bench. Her body stretched under the warm seven AM sun. She had nothing on but a tiny bikini. She left her breasts exposed under the sunlight as well.

Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ni Lily ang pagsayaw ng nakapaligid na puno. Everything were shadows of yellow and green, with glows and streams of sunlight here and there. Because of the gentle breeze, goosebumps gently tickled her bared skin. All she ever wanted was to feel warm. As warm as that night she had with Jared… But damn, even Mother Nature had to meddle and sent in a bit of chill.

She sat up on that bench. Now she wanted to fuck Jared again.

Sinuot niya ang sleeveless turtleneck na pastel pink. Pagkatapos, sinuklay ng mga daliri ang kanyang blonde-dyed na buhok.

Dapat pala pumasok na lang ako sa office. Now, all I am thinking of is how to have another round with Jared!

Nahilamos niya ng kamay ang mukha

But if I go to work today, I’ll be just a useless mess. Super distracted with thoughts of that… beast.

She could already feel herself burn with so much wanting, it tempted her to jump in the pool. That would probably cool her down. But she didn’t. She refused the urge to just jump at the swimming pool in front of her.

Yes. Beast. That man is a beast...A beast. Lily groaned as soon as she stepped inside the townhouse. I have to get my mind off of a man I am never meeting again, bawi niya mula sa pangangailangan masyado kay Jared kanina lang.
 
Bumalik siya sa kwarto at kinuha mula sa pagkakapatong sa kama ang naiwang cellphone. She immediately made a call.

Lily, kumusta? bungad ni Beta sa kabilang-linya.

“Hi, Beta,” napunta sa balkonahe ang kanyang tingin dahil doon siya hinihila ng mga paa. “I know, busy ka tuwing Mondays. Pero maaga naman siguro ako nakatawag, right?”

On the way na kami ni Walter sa Corinstones, paliwanag nito. Since, my official clock in is at nine, yes, you called just in time. And I’ll still take your calls, girl, no matter what. So, ano na ang balita sa’yo? Sabi ni Walter nung Sunday mo raw imi-meet si Jared! How was it?

Nasa balkonahe na si Lily. Napahigpit ang hawak ng isa niyang kamay sa balustre niyon habang nagtitimping ngumiti na lang.

Beta, tinawagan nga kita para maalis sa isip ko ang Jared na ‘yon. Tapos heto ka at pinapaalala mo na naman sa akin ang lalaking ‘yon! she thought before finally replying as calm as she could. “You wouldn’t want to know.”

Ahh, alam ko na, nasa tono ng kaibigan ang panunukso. He’s not your type.

Napapikit na lang si Lily, minasahe ng isang kamay ang sentido. “Yeah. He’s definitely not my type.”

Well, Walter already warned you. Na baka nga hindi mo matipuhan si Jared. But you know what? It’s okay. At least, you two had an intelligent conversation.

“Intelligent conversation?” pagak niyang tawa.

I mean, kinumusta namin si Jared. And he said—

Beta— Walter warned her best friend.

What?

You shouldn’t.
