Act 6
Nagising si Sabryna gawa ng nakakasilaw na liwanag galing sa bintana.
Anong oras na ba? Ang sakit ng buo niyang katawan.
Unti-unting binuksan ni Sabryna ang mga mata, kaagad niyang nakita ang familiar na puting pintura ng ceiling ng condo.
She drank too much last night.
Iyon lang ang pwedeng maging explanation sa hang over na nararamdaman niya ngayon.
Napa-unat siya ng katawan pero natigilan siya ng hindi niya magalaw ang kanang kamay, tila sumabit sa railing ng kama.
Napalingon siya sa kinalalagyan ng kamay niya at nakitang nakatali ang kamay niya sa Metal head board.
Wait, what?
Napadilat ng mata si Sabryna, circling her tiny wrist and the bed railing is a man's black leather wrist watch. The watch she gave her brother on his 21st birthday. The watch he was wearing the night before.
What is Sid's watch doing around-? Agad na kinabahan si Sabryna, her heart doing an erratic beating, she was jolt fully awake and hazy unbidden memories came back to her;
"Stop it Sabryna." Sid said in between kisses, she did not listen and instead continued to run her hands from Sid's chest to his abdomen.
They were naked, he is pinning her on her bed and she is touching the wonderful ridges she always felt whenever he hugged her.
Her exploring was interrupted when he personaly pry off her hands and keep it on top of her head.
"Keep still" He instructed again as he proceeded to remove his watch. He barely had time to remove his watch when she resume where she left off.
Her hands were back on his abdomen then her fingers trace downwards and he caught it again.
"I said keep still" he said to her in an tense and provoke tone. Hindi naman niya napigilan ang matawa. She was doing alot of laughing tonight, she then stop when Sid took her right hand and place it near the head rail of the bed.
She can feel the cool metal through the back of her wrist. Later she felt her hand bounded and unable to move it, napatingin siya sa kanang kamay niya at nakitang itinali ito sa railing gamit ang relo ni Sid. She quickly reach for it using her other hand and was about to undo it when one of Sid's hand close down on that other hand and move it back to the top of her head.
"Nope, the watch stays" he said while looking down at her before he kiss her again.
Sabryna's heart stop at what she remembered. She became very still, that's so not right. It must have been a dream!!.
Even as the evidence stared at her face, she pried it with shaking hands, nang sa wakas ay natangal niya ang relos, kaagad siyang bumangon, only to be snatch back to bed by a powerful arm.
"Huwag ka munang bumangon, stay." A male voice ask, then he snuggled close to her, his breathing close to her ears.
She look back and true enough there is Sid, his hair rumpled, his eye not fully awake yet and he's arms were holding her possessively.
She scream and started hitting him with pillows.
"Aray-, ...aray.., ano ba?" Sid was busy shielding himself from her assault, nabitawan siya nito kaya agad siyang nakawala. she gather the sheets around her and dash away from the bed only to be hampered by something lying on the floor, she fell flat on her face.
