Gin and Vodka (Tipsy Talk Trilogy #1) [Completed]

CHAPTER 14

MAG-ISA nalang siya sa kama pagmulat niya ng mga mata. Ayon sa orasan na nasa bedside table ay alas-sies na ng umaga.

She winced when she tried to sit on the bed. She felt sore, especially that center part of her body. Dahan-dahan siyang umalis sa mula sa ibabaw ng kama, kamuntikan ng bumigay ang kanyang tuhod sa kanyang pagtayo. She gently brushed her hair and bit her lip as she felt weird in between her thighs. It felt uncomfortable, it was as if he was still buried deep inside her.

Vodka walked towards the bathroom slowly. A loud gasped came out of her lips when she finally went inside and saw herself in the mirror. There were red marks on her skin, her neck, her breasts, her stomach and her thighs. She then became breathless when she remembered what Eugene did to her last night. His hands on her body, his lips and tongue savoring her, his maleness as penetrating as his eyes, she remembered it all.

Kapagkuwan ay naalala niya ang sugat na likha ng daplis ng baril sa kanyang balikat. Kataka-takang hindi man lang niya naramdamang sumakit iyon kagabi, ni hindi iyon nagdugo. Inalis niya ang gasa at lihim na nagpasalamat ng makitang natutuyo na iyon.

Vodka sighed roughly and turned her back to the mirror and filled the tub with cold water. Kailangan niya iyon upang maibsan hindi lang ang pananakit ng kanyang katawan, maging ang apoy na hindi pa tuluyang naapula.

Ilang sandali siyang nagtagal sa loob ng banyo at nagbabad sa bathtub pagkatapos ay nilinis ang sugat, nilagyan ng panibagong gasa at nagbihis ng komportableng damit. Tahimik siyang lumabas ng silid at inilibot ang mga mata upang tingnan kung naroon ang kasama. Hindi niya ito makita sa loob kaya tumingin siya sa labas.

Through the glass wall, she can see Eugene outside, he was running with his dogs. They're having their exercise. She walked in the direction of the sofa, sat on the armrest and gape at the man.

Wala sa loob na napangiti si Vodka habang pinapanood si Eugene at ang mga aso. One of the dogs run in her direction and Eugene chased after him. Tumigil ang aso sa labas ng salaming dingding at tumahol habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"Easy boy," Eugene muttered and captured the leash of the dog.

Pinamulahan ng mukha si Vodka nang mag-angat ng tingin si Eugene at magsalubong ang kanilang paningin.

"G-Good morning..." she answered when he mouthed good morning at her, she wasn't certain if he heard her though.

He beamed at her, showing his teeth that dazzled the morning sun. Then he fed the dogs and take them back to their places.

Parang may sariling isip ang kanyang mga kamay na agad na inayos ang kanyang buhok at pinagpagan ang kanyang damit nang makitang lumakad pabalik sa bahay si Eugene. Pinanood niya ito hanggang sa makapasok ito sa loob ng bahay.

Tila siya itinulos sa kinauupuan at nakamata kay Eugene na papalapit sa kanya. Her throat tightened as the distance between them became narrower.

Hinawakan ni ng binata ang mukha ng dalaga nang makalapit.

Hindi malaman ni Vodka kung ano ang sasabihin dito habang magkahinang ang kanilang mga mata. An awkward silence filled the air for a minute. But when he smiled at her, her nerves calmed down.

"I'll shower quickly then prepare us breakfast," Eugene then pressed his lips on Vodka's lips.

Before Vodka uttered a single word, he already turned his back at her and entered the room.

Napabuntung-hininga na lang si Vodka at umayos ng upo sa ibabaw ng sofa. Ipinatong niya roon ang mga paa at inilagay ang baba sa ibabaw ng mga tuhod.

Nanatili siya sa ganoong posisyon hanggang sa marinig niya ang mga yabag ni Eugene na papalapit sa kanyang direksiyon. Tumingala si Vodka rito na nakatunghay sa kanya nang iumang nito ang palad, at walang pag-aalinlangang tinanggap niya iyon.
