Budget

Muli kong inilayo ang aking mukha mula sa kaniyang dibdib para tignan ang aking ginawa nang biglaan akong mapatalon nang makarinig kami ng nag-riring na phone. We both diverted our gazes to the ringing phone placed in the opened compartment, its light illuminating through out the entirety of the dark car. "Fuck," sabay naming angal.

Bumagsak ang aking balikat sa sobrang pagkadismaya. I let out a deep sigh as I placed my forehead on Andre's shoulder. That fucking phone ruined the atmosphere. We were so close on doing it. Why did someone have to call at this time? 

I felt Andre's body vibrate as he let out a soft laugh. I frowned and lifted my head to face him. I felt his hands that was holding my ass slowly crept up to my waist. Naramdaman ko ang kamay niya sa dulo ng aking damit at hinawakan ito nang mabuti. "Taas mo puwet mo," utos nito. I looked behind me and followed his instruction.

His fingers gripped the edge of my dress as he pulled it down. Muli niyang ginaya ang aking katawan na umupo sa kaniyang hita. Nagpatianod lamang ang aking katawan sa gusto niyang gawin at hinayaan siyang kontrolin ako.

Bumalik ang kaniyang kamay sa aking baywang kasabay ng pagbalik ng kaniyang mga tingin sa akin. Lumingon ako pabalik sa kaniya at sinalubong ang kaniyang mga titig. "Lumililis na kasi," he explained. 

Natawa akong biglaan sa kaniyang sinabi. "I don't know how you could easily switch on being horny and sexy to playful and funny next," natatawa kong banggit.

We both laughed at my statement. Muli kaming napatingin sa likuran ko nang muling mag-ring ang aking cellphone na nakasilid sa compartment. "Answer it, Imo. Nasira na rin naman ang atmosphere," he said.

I gave him a look as I squinted my eyes at him. Without leaving his lap, I bent my body to reach for my phone. Nahulog pa ang ilang gamit sa sahig ng sasakyan bago ko ito tuluyang maabot. "I'm going to fucking kill whoever is calling..." pagbabanta ko.

The moment I got ahold of the phone, I immediately fixed myself while still sitting on Andre's lap. My brows furrowed when I saw the name of the caller. Napatingin muna ako kay Andre na nakatingin na sa labas ng bintana habang patuloy na hinahaplos ang aking hita. I pressed my thumb on the screen of the phone and swiped upwards. "Hey, Mom?" I greeted.

From my peripheral vision, I felt Andre's sharp stares diverted to me. Mas lalong kumunot ang aking noo nang makarinig ako ng mga hikbi mula sa kabilang linya. Inilayo ko ang telepono at tinignan kung tama ba ang pagkakabasa ko sa caller. It was really my mother's name. Muli kong ibinalik ang telepono sa pagkakadikit sa aking tainga.

"Mom? What's wrong?" mahinahon kong tanong.

"M-Maia, can you come to the house? I-I need someone to talk to..." nauutal-utak nitong sagot.

Agad naman akong nataranta nang marinig ang sagot nito. "What do you mean? What's wrong?" muli kong tanong.

"Just come, okay? I'll be waiting for you," she said and immediately dropped the call.

Kunot-noo kong inilayo ang phone sa aking tainga at tinignan pa ang screen nito. I placed my hands on Andre's chest and pushed myself off of him. I lifted my legs and sat back on the passenger's seat. I let out a sigh as I continued to stare at my phone. "Hey, I need to go. Can you get out?" diretso kong tanong habang nakatingin pa rin sa aking cellphone.

I looked for my mother's name and texted her. 

To: Mom

i'm coming. wait for me.

Binaba ko ang cellphone at muli iyong ibinalik sa compartment ng kotse. I bent my body to pick the things that fell when I was reaching for my phone earlier. I took a side glance on Andre's direction and saw that he was already buttoning his dress shirt up. "Thanks," I said as I waited for him to completely button his shirt.
