Prelude

He chuckled when the woman grabbed his collar and kissed him hard.

"Easy, babe..." He whispered over her sultry lips. He forgot her name. Was it Diane? Rian? Vivian? Ah, forget it.

He just met her an hour ago when he went to a club to get himself a drink. Hindi talaga mahilig mag inom si Nikkos. Nakasanayan na lang niya 'yon sa paglipas ng mga taon dahil kahit gaano niya pagurin ang sarili sa buong araw na pagtatrabaho, nahihirapan pa rin siyang makatulog. The only way to make himself sleep was to finish a half bottle of whiskey every night.

The woman was all over him the moment she saw him. Nakakailang shots pa lang siya nang mag aya na itong umalis. He had no choice but to bring her to the nearest hotel they found along the way.

He kissed her and suckled her lower lip. The woman moaned and palmed his huge maleness. Bahagya siyang umiwas at sa pag iwas niyang 'yon ay hindi sinasadyang natapakan niya ang remote control na nasa carpeted floor. Bumukas ang malaking flat screen tv at bumungad ang isang international news.

Nanigas siya at tila robot na hindi nakagalaw. His jaw clenched, his body tensed when the screen showed intimate pictures. Kuha ang dalawang larawan sa magkaibang anggulo at sa magkaibang okasiyon. A woman wearing a sexy red dress was trapped in a tight embrace by a tall, ruggedly handsome man. Another picture showed where the woman's arms wrapped around his neck while whispering something in his ear. The man was smiling while holding her tiny waist. His hands balled into tight fists.

"Zafiyah Fuentes, a well-known freelance photographer and a filmmaker who rose to fame because of her remarkable works is rumored to be dating the Hollywood veteran actor, film director, and business tycoon Alexander Anderson, or at the very least, they've been rumored to have gone on multiple dates for years now. They never admit their relationship but they were seen openly dating everywhere and their nineteen years age gap seems like not a big deal. But last night, the gorgeous Zafiyah Fuentes was seen together with the famous and highest-paid male model Turn Montgomery. The two were seen hugging each other intimately. The source said, that the two were on 'what seemed like a date' and that they have, in fact, been on "a date a few times". We've asked Alexander Anderson regarding this issue but he just said, 'No comment'."

Mabilis niyang kinuha ang remote control at ibinato sa tv. Nagtatagis ang bagang at mabibigat ang hininga na napasabunot siya sa buhok.

Ang babaeng kasama ay nagulat. Alanganin itong lumapit at humaplos sakaniyang balikat. "Hey, darling. What's wrong?"

"Get out." He whispered in a low voice, controlling himself. Pilit na pinipigilan ang sarili na huwag humulagpos ang namumuong galit sa katawan.

"W-What? What's wrong with you? We were—"

"I said get out!" He snapped. He angrily pointed the main door and the woman hurriedly ran toward it. Takot na takot ang mukha at muntik pang matalisod sa sobrang pagmamadali na makalabas ng kuwarto.

He was rude but he didn't give a fucking damn.

Pagod siyang napaupo sa gilid ng kama. He frustratedly rubbed his hands on his face. He tightly closed his eyes as he took a deep breath.

Suddenly, glimpsed of the past vividly played in his mind...

"Don't you ever leave me..." He whispered while kissing her neck, down to the valley of her ample breasts.

"I won't, Nik." She whispered back. She grabbed his silky black hair and arched her body. "Suck my nipples, Nik. Oh, yes. That's it. Suck it hard...yes, oh..."
