Kabanata 21: Tight

"What was that?!"

Napahalukipkip na lang ako bago ko siya tinignan. "It was nothing, Jaime." Tamad kong sabi sa kaniya. "I don't have time arguing with you."

"But, you have your time hiding a secret?" She mocked.

Tumango na lang ako. "I'm tired. Save that for tomorrow."

"Don't you dare turn your back at me!" Sigaw niya nang bigla akong tumalikod sa kaniya at humakbang. "'Wag mong ubusin ang pasensya ko, Celestine." Nagtitimping sabi niya sa akin.

"Who handled my hospital expenses, when the accident happened?" Tanong ko sa kaniya nang humarap ako. "Who do you thought the person behind my accident?" Lumapit ako sa kaniya. "You don't know anything."

"Kasi, hindi mo naman sinasabi kung anong alam mo!" Inis niyang sigaw sa akin.

"That's my point, Jaime." I cupped her face. "I want you to stay clueless until I fix everything. For now, magpahinga muna tayo. You already look exhausted."

Napabuga ito ng hangin. "Why did you kiss Drei then?" She pouted her lips.

Sinampal ko siya nang mahina. "Jealous?" I giggled. "That was nothing, mal. It's just that... I want to confirm something." Palusot ko.

"And, what was that?" Tanong niya.

"I already lose the feeling." Sagot ko sa kaniya na nagpakunot ng noo niya. "I just kiss her because I want to confirm if I still have feelings for her. Kaso, ayon, nawala na. Inagaw mo na kasi." Natawa na lang ako nang bigla siyang mamula kahit gabi na.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"It's fine," sagot ko bago siya niyakap ng ilang segundo. "Labas na tayo, baka hinahanap na nila tayo." Aya ko sa kaniya.

"I should kiss Drei again." Wika niya na nagpakunot ng noo ko. She just smiled at me. "I lied, when I said I just wanted to see your reaction, when I kissed Drei."

"What do you mean by that?" I lifted a brow.

"I just want to take back your kiss that you gave her. You already own me so, I think, I should own you, too." Sagot niya bago niya ako niyakap sa beywang ko at nilapit sa kaniya.

Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa balikat ko. "Shit," I blurted, as she started to showered me with small kisses in my bare shoulder.

Nagsimula na namang rumehistro sa utak ko ang ginawa niyang panggagahasa sa akin kaya marahas kong pinaghiwalay ang mga kamay niyang nakayakap sa akin para makawala ako. I held my chest as I felt my breathe started to get rag.

Mukhang nagulat siya sa ginawa ko dahil nakatitig lang siya sa akin at parang natatakot na gumalaw o lumapit sa akin.

"Celeste..." mahinang tawag niya sa akin. "A-are you still afraid of my touch?" Nauutal niyang tanong. "I'm sorry. I-i crossed the line again."

Napangisi na lang ako sa kaniya bago lumapit. "Why don't we turn the tables?" I whispered to her ears before pushing her on top of her bed. "Don't move," utos ko bago ako naglakad papuntang cabinet niya para maghanap ng gagamitin.

I grinned as I saw a her black and maroon necktie. Nilabas ko 'yon bago sinarado ang cabinet niya. I turned the lights off, causing darkness defeated the light. Tahimik kong ni-lock ang pinto niya at tahimik din akong naglakad palapit sa kaniya.

"C-celestine..." nahihimigan ko ang kaba sa boses niya. "You know, I'm afraid of the dark." Pagpapatuloy niya.

"After this, you will start liking the dark, Hayme." I seductively said to her before I started to trace her thighs up to her...
