That Summer Night of August

Kabanata 12

"Mauna ka nang lumabas. We can't go out from this room together." Malumanay na sabi ko habang nakaupo sa edge ng aking kama.

Nakasuot na ako ng boxers habang si Autumn suot na niya ang kanyang red cocktail dress. I tried to search something in what Autumn and I did, but I still couldn't find it. She's indeed hot and sexy that could make me arouse by just looking at her perfectly fit body, but that was just it. I couldn't feel the weird feeling that only Gabriel can give me.

I think I already know the answer.

I'm really fucked up.

I wanted to confirm this weird feeling that Gabriel was giving me, and that was the reason why I accepted Autumn's offer... to fuck her. I tried to divert my attention because I knew the fact that I like girls. I like girls, it's clear. But why do I feel this feeling towards Gabriel?

I heard Autumn scoffed. "How can you be that cold? You already took me, Dee." She smiled before sitting beside me. "We enter this room together, why can't we leave this toom together, too?"

I cursed under my breath. "My brother would be suspicious. Just leave. Susunod ako."

Narinig ko siyang huminga nang malalim saka padabog na naglakad patungog pintuan ng kwarto ko. Inayos niya muna ang kanyang damit, tinitignan kung may mga gusot ba iyon saka sinuklayan ang kanyang buhok gamit ang kanyang mga kamay. Nang matapos niyang inayos ang kanyang sarili ay ikinaway niya ang kanyang kanang kamay sa akin bago lumabas sa aking kwarto.

I sighed heavily. That was insane!

Pabagsak kong inihiga ang aking sarili sa aking kama. Sex was never new to me. I often read sex scenes on my books but I didn't thought that it would be this good. Most people say it would take you to heaven, but why didn't I felt that while doing it with Autumn? Natawa ako sa sarili dahil sa aking iniisip. Siguro hindi pa talaga ako marunong.

Umupo ako mula sa pagkakahiga at tinanggal ang graded contact lenses ko. It was a specialized contact lenses that were made for my eyes. I am a nearsighted person. Nang malaman ni dad ang kondisyon ko noong grade 8 ako ay agad niya akong dinala sa kilala niyang Optometrist. The doctor prescribed me with a right graded eyeglasses for my eyes, but wearing eyeglasses was really uncomfortable for me when I was a kid. I got bullied because of it, that was the reason why I decided to ask my eye doctor if I could use contact lenses instead of eyeglasses and he said yes. He told my dad about it and my dad agreed.

He made a specialized contact lenses for me. It was just a clear lenses, no color because I was already okay with my eye color. This was the only feature I got from my mom, we both have gray eyes. A shade of gray that you would often see at the sky during cloudy days. Most of my features were from my dad.

The doctor also helped me how to put it and remove it. Good thing, because I got used to it in no time. He still prescribed me with eyeglasses though, para daw may maisuot ako kapag hindi ko raw feel mag contact lenses.

Napatingin ako sa phone ko nang tumunog iyon.

Gabbyreal_ is calling...

Agad nanlaki ang aking mga mata saka kinuha iyon at sinagot. Hindi ako sanay na may tunatawag sa akin maliban kay Tim at Tita Tiffany.

["Where are you? I've been looking for you."]

Huh? He's been looking for me?

"Nasa k-kwarto." Sagot ko habang inaayos ang sheets ng kama ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit lumalakas na naman ang tibok ng aking dibdib.

["I'll come up. I'm with Terence, he's crying. Kanina ka pa hinahanap. Why are you even in your room at the middle of your party anyway?"]

"I, um, I just want to get away from the crowd. Ihatid mo nalang si Terry dito." I said looking around, making sure that no one would be suspicious about me having sex with a stranger.
