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

CHAPTER 18

DALA ang tinimplang kape ay tumungo siya sa underground kung nasaan naroon si Eugene. Tulong ito sa naroong kama nang datnan niya kaya inilapag niya ang dala sa ibabaw ng lamesa na may nakapatong na baril at mga bala.

Umupo siya sa gilid at tinitigan ang natutulog na binata. She felt sorry for dragging him to her situation, he doesn't need to do all these stuffs for her but he still did. How can't she not believe that he liked her if he was doing things to make her safe?

Mula nang dumating doon ang nakatatandang kapatid, tatlong araw na ang nakakaraan ay naging abala na ang dalawang lalaki sa paghahanap ng paraan upang maprotektahan siya. Felix went to the big city the next day after he arrived at Eugene's house. Whilst Eugene was staying a lot of times in the underground and doing his research. Kahit na magkalayo ang dalawa ay alam niyang nag-uusap ang mga ito sa telepono. She wouldn't be surprise if they'll become the best of friends in no time.

Felix and Eugene knew about the man he saw at the nightclub when Patrick Castillo was murdered, she told them everything. At malakas ang paniniwala ng dalawa na may kinalaman doon ang pagtatangka sa buhay niya. That maybe, that man in the nightclub was the one who was desperate to get her killed, she was a witness after all.

And about her friend, Isabella, she still couldn't get hold of her. She watched the news everytime, she might've see Isabella in them, she did but it's not very often. Nakapagtataka dahil matunog sa medya ang pagkamatay ng anak ng congressman ngunit kaunti lang ang mga artikulo o balita na naghahayag ng pagsuko ni Isabella at pag-amin sa ginawa nito. Before Felix left, she asked him to visit Isabella for her but she still hadn't heard from Felix.

"Hey."

Natigilan si Vodka nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses na iyon. Ngumiti siya kay Eugene na ngayon ay nakatingin na sa kanya habang magkasalubong ang kilay dahil sa pagtataka. Hindi niya namalayan na kanina pa siya nakatingin dito ngunit wala rito ang kanyang pansin.

"Hi. Buenas dias," she greeted in Spanish.

"Good morning, Hermosa. Besame."

Napangiti si Vodka dahil sa huling salitang sinabi ni Eugene. She uttered the word sexily and huskily, asking her to kiss him.

Sa halip na tumalima ay tumayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid ng kama. "I brought you coffee, I already made breakfast if you're hungry."

Bumangon si Eugene at umupo sa gilid ng kama kapagkuwan ay hinila ang dalaga kaya napaupo ito sa kanyang kandungan.

Hindi mapigilan ni Vodka na mamangha habang nakatingin sa mukha ni Eugene. Magulo ang buhok nito mula sa pagtulog at kakagising lang ngunit napakapresko pa rin ng dating. He wasn't conscious about how he look in the morning and that made him more attractive.

Vodka saw it coming and she waited for it like a babe, she waited for Eugene's lips to capture hers. She answered his kisses but she stopped after a minute or two, she had too or else they will get dirty on the bed in that underground the next moments. It's still too early for that, though she missed him, he had been very busy the past two days and they hadn't made love since then, there's a time and place for that and now's not the time, knowing that Felix will be coming in any minute from now from his two day escapade of some sort in the city.

He trailed kissed on her cheek, jaw and neck but she ignored the prickling sensation it caused her. "The coffee will be cold." Sabay tulak ng bahagya rito at dampot sa tasa ng kape. Ibinigay niya iyon kay Eugene at umayos ng upo sa tabi nito kapagkuwan ay inihilig ang ulo sa balikat ng binata.

Habang umiinom ng kape si Eugene ay tahimik siyang nakahilig dito. Naagaw lang ang kanilang pansin nang marinig ang pagtunog ng cellphone ng binata na nasa ibabaw ng lamesa. Agad naman iyong sinagot ni Vodka at inilagay sa loudspeaker.
