Change Your Mind [Completed]

Prologue

"There... stroke it faster, Dahlia!" groaned Miguel.

Dahlia was right beside her at nakakulong sila sa kwarto niya ngayon. His parents were both abroad dahil may business trip na ina-attendan ang Papa niya at sumama na rin ang Mama niya for vacation.

"That's it," he further coaxed her.

Dahlia's right hand was softly gliding up and down his hard-on.

"Fuck, I'm near, Dahl...," he groaned even more before unloading himself on her bare tits.

Dahlia was sprawled naked beside him. Tatlong araw na siya dito sa condo niya sa Makati. It was summer break at wala sa bahay ang mga magulang niya kaya nagse-stay muna siya sa condo nila for more freedom.

Anyway, malapit din doon ang condo ng matalik niyang kaibigan - si Diego, which happens to be Dahlia's older brother.

He looked at this young, pretty lady beside her. She was just eighteen, barely out of college habang seniors na sila nina Diego at Aspen sa elite university na pinapasukan. But despite her young age, he didn't know why he couldn't resist her.

Maybe because she was forbidden? Kapatid siya ng matalik niyang kaibigan. So he knew nothing could ever come out of this relationship.

"Ihahatid na kita pauwi. Gabi na. Besides, malayo pa ang bahay ninyo."

Umiling si Dahlia. "Can I just stay here for the night?" She pouted and gave him those puppy dog eyes. Those eyes were the sole reason why he was caught up in this mess.

His body craved her ever since that night na natikman niya ito. That night was almost a year ago kaya halos isang taon na rin ang patagong set up nilang ito. But despite that, he still remained firm on his decision na hindi sila maaaring magkaroon ng public relationship o kahit anong official relationship.

Diego would kill him if he knew!

"Dahlia, we both know na hahanapin ka nina Tita Saritha. Tatlong araw ka ng hindi umuuwi."

"They think I'm with Margaux. I'll just tell them na nagdecide kaming i-extend ang sleepover."

Umiling lang si Miguel and stood up from the bed to get a towel from the bathroom. Pagkabalik niya sa kama ay ibinigay niya iyon kay Dahlia. "Clean up, Dahl. Ihahatid kita tonight," he firmly said at nagbihis ng damit.

He saw the disappointment on her face. 

"Ang sungit mo!" she commented bago tumayo at dumiretso sa bathroom.

Dahlia may never say it but she was always wanting for something more, something he couldn't give. But she hasn't said anything kaya nananatili na lang din siyang tahimik. At least, he can have her in secret.

*****

Dahlia breathed deeply ng makarating sa tapat ng bahay nila. It was nine in the evening at ayaw pa sana niyang umuwi but Miguel forced her.

"Good night. Matulog ka na kaagad," wika ni Miguel na nasa driver's seat.

"Hindi ka man lang ba bababa? My mom would be happy to see you," she offered. "We can have coffee-"

"Dahl, they don't know you were with me. Baka magulat sila na hinatid kita. Baka mamaya magsuspetya pa sila," tutol ni Miguel sa suhestyon niya.

"Then, we'll just tell them na sinundo mo ko kina Margaux for dinner tapos hinatid mo na rin ako pauwi."

"Dinner? Ano na lang iisipin nila? That we're together now?"

That question hurt her. Sa paraan ng pagkakasabi nito, parang ayaw na ayaw nitong malaman ng ibang tao na nagkikita sila, much more her parents. "Sorry, papasok na ako." Para siyang sinaksak ng ilang beses sa sinabi ng binata.
