The Price Of A Sinner

Chapter 5

Nagising ako na wala na ang lalaki sa tabi ko. Napangiti na lang ako sa kawalan habang unti-unting bumabalik sa isip ko ang mga nangyari kanina.

God... his body was perfect. That tattoo on the side of his ribs looked insanely sexy. And...ugh! He was so damn good. So unfair.

I bit my lip at the thought. I'd just woken up, yet here I was, already having indecent thoughts. Tss.

My legs still felt weak as I pushed myself up from the bed in my office. My body was sore, probably because I'd been out of practice for too long. After going that hard with Dos, I felt like I'd been run over. I was about to stand when something on the bedside table caught my eye — a small sticky note. I picked it up and read what was written there.

See you when I see you.
Call or text me if you miss me.
0997****** – Dos*

Napangisi ako habang binabasa ito, at agad kong kinuha ang phone ko para i-save ang number niya. Mamaya ko na lang siya tatawagan. Baka isipin na-miss ko agad siya... kahit totoo naman.

After taking a shower and slipping into fresh clothes, I got myself ready and stepped out of my office with a smile on my face. The bar was already filling up, it was nighttime, after all. Apparently, Dos and I had started our little "miracle" earlier than I thought. I shook my head with a smile as I walked to the bar counter, where Karlo gave me a knowing look.

"What?" tanong ko.

"Mukhang maganda ang mood mo, Ma'am."

"Masyado bang halata?" natatawa kong sagot.

"Tss. Sobrang halata," sagot niya habang nagtitimpla ng alak.

"Don't mind me. Bagong ligo lang ako kaya ganito."

"Okay po, sabi niyo eh. Oo nga po pala, kanina pa po kayo hinahanap ng mga kaibigan niyo. Nasa VIP room." Sabay turo niya sa itaas.

Pagtingin ko, nakatingin na sa akin ang mga kaibigan ko, parehong nakataas ang mga kilay. Dahil salamin ang VIP room, kita namin ang isa't isa.

"Tss. Ang aga naman nila. Paano kikita ang bar ko kung sila ang suki?"

"Hakot customer din naman sila, Ma'am. Maraming lalaki ang dumdayo rito para makita sila."

Natawa ako. "Baka naman magpauna ka pa? Napaka-torpe mo ha!"

He just sighed, and I walked away with a smirk. I knew he liked one of my friends, but since they were all so intimidating, he always chickened out. What a waste.

I climbed the stairs to the VIP room, bracing myself for the onslaught of teasing I was about to get. Just from their looks earlier, I knew they knew something.

"Ang aga niyo naman palugihin ang bar ko," bungad ko habang umuupo sa tabi ni Aicka na may matalim na tingin.

"ASB ang ateng oh!" sabi nito, kaya agad din akong tinignan nina Sab at Rein.

"Oh, edi sana all!" ani Sab sabay irap.

"Tss. Talas talaga ng pang-amoy ng isang 'to," biro ko.

"Girl, hindi lang kita naamoy, kitang-kita! ASB ka — After Sex Blooming! Naka-ilang rounds? Sino 'yon?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Aicka.

"Masarap ba siya?" tanong ni Sab habang nakakagat-labi.

"Magaling?" dagdag pa ni Rein sabay lagok ng alak.

I didn't even know who to answer first, but just thinking about what happened earlier made me smile again. How Dos devoured me, how we both moaned and lost ourselves to it, how many times we did it.
