After Daylight

14. When Celestine got Drunk

KM

I wonder if kuya Yllak noticed the kulot na babae sitting meters away from our table. I caught her looking at him ever since we were in the Valiente Corp building. Stalker siguro ni kuya. I decided to ignore her and looked at ate Naomi who was sitting beside Ade. I wondered kung ano reaction ng senator Sandro once he finds out that these two had a one night stand in Ilocos.

Or they probably had more of those kasi hanggang ngayon, magkasama sila and Ade really had the guts to ask my dad if he could take Naomi out for dinner.

May balls. That's all I could say.

Ate Celestine was barely touching her food. I do not know what's running inside her head. Siguro yung pag-iyak ni kuya Gab sa bahay at pagmamakaawa na mahalin siya ulit ni ate.

And then there's my parents who are still lovey-dovey after how many fucking years of being together. Pakiramdam ko kung hindi menopause ang mama ay may kasunod pa ako.

"Ade, where did you meet our baby girl?" Papa asked.

I smirked. I wanted to shout sa bar but I kept my mouth shut.

I saw ate getting nervous.

"Oo nga. Where did you two meet each other?" Kuya seconded.

Ade simply smiled. "Common friends."

I wanted to laugh but I stopped myself. Parents and siblings. Kung alam niyo lang. Kung alam niyo lang talaga.

I saw Ade looked at me and winked as if it was our little secret.

"Wow. Small world." Papa replied.

"I know." He grinned.

Dinner went on until someone came to our table and asked for Ade. I immediately looked up because the scent was so fucking familiar.

And there she was. Standing in front of me. The woman who took my virginity.

"Guys, this is Maisie, my manager. Maisie these are senator Sandro and his family." Ade introduced.

Maisie looked at us and nodded then talked to Ade.

I felt tense. She looked at me as if we did not share anything that night. As if it was no big deal. But it was for me because she was the first woman I touched.

"Can she stay for dinner senator?" Ade asked dad.

Dad smiled and nodded. "Of course."

Ade pointed at the empty seat beside me and I fucking lost it the moment she sat down. That fucking scent got into me and made me remember the naughty things we did that night. She was wild and I was submissive until I became dominant and rough. In my memory I liked and enjoyed every minute of it.

"Hey." Maisie spoke beside me with a smile on her face.

She was pretty. Really pretty.

"KM naglalaway ka na." Ate Naomi snickered.

I made a face.

"You look young to be a manager Maisie. How old are you?" Mama asked.

Maisie smiled. "Thank you but I am twenty-five na po."

And I'm fucking fifteen. I hooked up with an older woman. Ten fucking years older than me. Damn KM. I might have been so drunk.

"She's the same age as me senator, tita Louise." Ade spoke. I caught him with a playful smirk while looking at me as if he knows something.

CELESTINE

Everyone seems happy.

And I'm just here thinking about the decisions I made in my life and how I ended up in this situation. If only I could get back the time. I sighed and decided to excuse myself. Naomi wanted to come with me but I asked her not to.

I went in the restroom and stared at myself in the mirror.

Stupid Celestine. I muttered to myself.

"You look pretty. As usual." A familiar voice spoke.

A familiar voice. A familiar scent.

A few days ago

I followed my siblings who booked a grab and went somewhere. Buti na lang alam ko mag drive. My dad taught me when I turned eighteen. They ended up stopping in a bar. I waited for them to enter the bar before I followed.

Sa pagmamadali ko may nabangga ako.

"Easy." He said, holding me kasi malakas ang pagka-bangga ko.

"Sorry." I apologized.

"Celestine Marcos."

I looked up. He didn't look familiar.

"Kilala ba kita?"

He shook his head. "No but I know you." He had a playful smile on his face.

"Okay?"

"I'm Oliver. Oliver Marquez IV."

I laughed then stopped. "Sorry."

"It's okay. I get use to it." He said, smiling.

And then I forgot the reason why I was in that bar in the first place. We talked. Had a good time until one thing led to another.

And now he is in front of me.

"This is a female bathroom." I told him.

He smirked. "You didn't read. It's a non-gender rest room and you forgot to lock."

I pressed my lips together. "What are you doing here? Sinusundan mo ba ako?"

"No. I have a business meeting in this place. It was an accident that I saw you." He replied.

"No. I meant in this restroom, Oliver."

"I like it when you say my name,"

I made a face.

"Especially when you moaned it that night." He licked his lips.

Oliver moved forward and pulled me towards him and kissed me. It was rough and I liked it. I liked every second of it.

I sighed heavily while looking at the pregnancy test in my hands with two red lines.

I'm gonna be screwed.

My dad is gonna be so mad.

I am so marupok.

I calmed myself down and took out my phone.

I do not have Oliver's phone number. We did not exchange messages after. I went to facebook and tried to find him. There were at least five Oliver Marquez on facebook. And I was friends with one of them. I didn't know how but it wasn't the time to think. I clicked the picture and it was him in a suite.

I stalked him and my mouth parted.

Putangina.

Siya ung may-ari ng Marquez farms sa Ilocos.
