NAOMI
Up until now, I have no idea while I, again, for the fourth time this week is in AD’s bed. Inis kong sinabutan ang self ko sa harap ng mirror habang binibilang ang mga pasa ko sa katawan. Connect the fucking dots from my neck to my legs. Taylor Swift’s song echoed inside my head.
The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call ‘home’
So scarlet, it was maroon
But AD's lips is not home.
It’s a temptation.
Yung ayaw ko na pero gugusto pa ako sa tuwing maglalapat ang labi namin and I would lose it all. I would lose all my inhibitions and submit myself to him and I so fucking hate that part of me.
“There’s a Mary Grace Cafe on the street next to my unit. Let’s eat breakfast there or are you sore?” He suddenly spoke.
Napapitlag ako sa gulat at agad na tinakpan ang pwede kong takpan kahit nakita na niya lahat. Hindi lang nakita. Sabi ng other utak ko.
AD was looking on my body. “I really like your fucking thighs. Turns me on everytime.” He licked his lips.
Pota. May halong lust. I feel lalabasan.
“Sa akin ka tumingin huwag sa katawan ko gago ka.” I spat at him.
He laughed whole heartedly. Kumabog is my dibdib.
“I prepared a bath in the tub. Go take a shower or ritual whatever. Aantayin kita then we’ll eat breakfast. Ihahatid na kita sa photo shoot niyo.” He told me and left to go to his walk in closet.
I sighed. Isa din yun. Sa ilang araw na magkasama kami, I tell him everything even if he doesn’t ask. Like at the spur of the moment, I would end up talking to him about something. Kung si Alexander eto, siguro okay lang ang sinagot. While Ade would share his opinion and we’d talk about something on and on and we’d end up having sex.
At sa tuwing may nangyayari sa amin, I kalimot what his family business did to my mama and papa. Like what the fuck di’ba. What the fuck Naomi. What the fuck self. Ang sarap kong ibaon sa soil at huwag nang bumalik. Sasama na lang ako sa siblings ko na nauna sa akin.
Yes I know. Lolo Bong will laki his mata sa hatred ko sa family ni AD. If they, my parents didn’t work it out as individuals at nagpa affect sa media, I wouldn’t be here. Walang magagawang Naomi sa kusina. Walang hahabol kay Alexander and walang ka-sex si Ade na maganda. OMG.

AD and I went to the cafe he mentioned after an hour. I was dressed decently na din. He bought me clothes after he made sira my damit from gigil two days ago. Yes. Two days na din na hindi umuuwi at hindi nagpaparamdam ang dakilang Naomi Alexandra.
My mom would call and ask me if I went home to my own condominium in Manila and I would say yes. One beses AD and I were having sex tapos she makes tawag and I have to sagot because if I don’t sagot she will sumbong to papa and papa will be the one to tawag and mas nakakatakot if papa ang tumatawag like I imagine his panlalaki ng eyes.
Anyway, ayun she made tawag and I was so nasasarapan and I have to pigil my ungol because she might dinig and she will find out I am nakikipag-sex.
“Naomi Alexandra.” I heard a familiar voice.
Nabilaukan ako sa kinakain ko.
My older brother Yllak was standing in front of me with curiosity in his face. Then turned to AD who was chilling. Tangina talaga ng lalakeng ‘to. Kahit pa ata manlaki mata ng papa ko sa kanya chill lang siya.
“Ano. Good morning kuya.” Was the only thing that I said.
He made a face and sat down on the seat beside me.
“Ang panget mo.” He replied.
My mata widened. “Me? Panget? What banda?” I retorted.
Ade suddenly laughed and I was nahiya. Fuck. My poise is hinangin sa labas.
“Hey Alexander. Didn’t know you are friends with my little sister.” Kuya spoke.
“We just got introduced recently.” Sagot ni AD
“You know each other?” I asked curiously.
My kuya nodded.
“We went to the same school in UK.”
I raised a brow and looked at AD “Ikaw? Nag UK? Economics?”
AD smiled. “Yeah but I transferred and studied media and all that.”
Tumawa si kuya. “Yeah you did. We used to drink together. Kasama na din si Alexander. The other Alexander. Yung crush mo.” He looked at me.
Tinapik ko bibig ni kuya. “Hindi ko crush yun. Mapagbintang.”
He only rolled his eyes and ignored me.
“How was life in the Philippines when you came home?” He asked AD.
Ade looked at me for a while then turned to kuya to answer his question.
I have a pakiramdam na may gusto siyang sabihin pero dili na lang nag-talk.

We rode AD’s car going to the Valiente corporation since kuya’s car was naka coding today. Sila ang nasa front seat while I was stuck in the back seat.
They kept on talking and hindi ako maka-relate sa pinag-uusapan nila at pinagtatawanan. Like putangina ako yung unang kasama. Ako yung kapatid pero why ako biglang natakwil.
Minutes later we were in the Valiente Corporation. Akala ko aalis si AD but he was walking with us sa lobby after giving his keys to the valet. Like sasama siya? He is an Escara tapos papasok sa Valiente building. Like papasok siya sa enemy house?
Sabagay ako nga pinasok eh. OMG.
“You didn’t really need to come inside with us.” Kuya told him as we walked in the hallway.
AD laughed. “I wanted to. Besides, sabi mo anjan si Alexander,” He said, looking at me. I gulped. Ibang look yung binibigay niya. “Baka makita ko siya. It’s been years since I last saw him.”
“Sabagay.” Kuya replied.
Kuya Yllak walked ahead of us when he saw Mama in the hallway wearing a modern Filipiniana dress. He held her and kissed her forehead. Typical kuya Yllak.
Yung babae sa gilid na kulot mukha pang na starstruck kay kuya. Like ew.
“So you have a crush on Alexander Ramirez.” AD spoke.
I looked at him and made a face. “Had. Past tense. I was a kid.”
AD smiled. “Good. Anong oras matatapos ang photoshoot ninyo?” He asked.
“I don’t know. Why?” I asked.
“Let’s have dinner.”
I rolled my eyes. “Ipaalam mo sa tatay ko.”
“Okay.” He answered as if wala lang.
“Yun lang? You did not even hesitate?”
“Why would I? It’s just senator Sandro.”
“Just Senator Sandro?”
He nodded. “I met him a couple of times back in UK. I’m sure he’d say yes or even invite me to your family dinner.” He grinned.
Ang kapal ng mukha ng lalakeng ‘to.
“Keep dreaming.” I told him.
He laughed and crossed his arms.
“Should we bet?” He asked.
“Sure.” Sabi ko naman because I’m so palaban.
AD snickered.
“I’m going to fuck you while facing the city view in my condo if he says yes.”
I blinked. “Ha?”
Yung dede ko nakadikit sa glass window niya tapos yung kamay ko hawak niya patalikod while I’m nakatuwad?
