MIKAELA'S POV
"Yes, hello..." I said as I picked up the phone from my bedside.
"Good morning..." I Heard his deep yet soft voice from the other line.
"Good morning, kumusta duty?" Napapahikab kong tanong, I just woke up what do you expect psh.
I heard him laughed.
"The usual, boring. I'm having a coffee now," I can visualize his reaction while sipping from a cup. Damn. "Baka gusto mo na bumangon dyan?" Natatawang dagdag niya.
I rolled back my eyes.
"Idiot, it's still 7am." I said.
"I missed you," Parang batang sabi niya kaya lalo ako naumay. I knew it.
"Maaga pa, sir. Hold on your kahalayan!" I said and emphasized the last word.
He laughed.
"Kilala mo na talaga ako ah? Well, I missed doing it with you. Hindi ka ba talaga makikipagkita sakin today?" Malumanay na sabi niya pero dinig ko pa rin yung tawa.
He's Marco Landero, 23 years old, tall not so dark and handsome and has a good build of body. A registered Medical Technologist, working in a government hospital here in the city. Has this sarcastic look and personality which made him hot, well not gonna lie he also has this humor that caught my attention. There's nothing special with us, but he's my fuck buddy.
He's 2 years ahead of me.
Ano pa bang magagawa ko, lapitin ako ng mga 23 above...
"Fine. Give me time to prepare I'll be just quick." I said. I love the idea of being fvcked by him, I mean dude he's really good damn.
"What do you want for breakfast first?" Pahabol niya nung ibababa ko na sana ang linya, "Maliban sakin, of course..." Seryosong dagdag niya saka natawa nung marinig akong bumuga out of disbelief.
"It's all on you, sir."
"Stop calling me sir, i'll make you scream my name later." Seryoso niya ng sabi.
"If you say so, marco malande." Pigil ang tawang sabi ko.
"Sayo lang lalandi." Was the last words i heard from him bago ko naiiling na pinatay ang linya.
Psh, men and their kahalayans.
I got up na rin to prepare.
Marco is actually nice, black sheep nga lang ng family nila. We've been fubu for almost a month na and I can say that I am comfortable with him. It was my decision to be his fubu, rebelde phase and impulsive state of mind can make you do sinful decisions. But anyways, I wouldn't come clean and I don't regret him being my second body count.
He has this bad boy look pero I know he's kind and soft. Caring siya and thoughtful kahit may kahalayan side, but one thing I like about his personality is he doesn't force things. If you say no, then it's a no.
Kahit sabihin mong fubu na kami, he still asks for my consent before doing things on me.
It's more like we're friends with benefits, he knew a lot about me na rin. Well, actually vice versa naman. We know each other's dark secrets and other ganaps sa life namin. Maaasahan mo rin in times of needs.
We have this rule, No commitments and chill lang dapat.
I'm almost done preparing before heading to his place. May dinaanan muna ako bago dumeretso sa village niya.
I didn't bother to knock because since we're exclusive, he gave me his duplicate keys.
"Holy shit!" I uttered and napatakip sa mata nung pagbukas ko ng pinto ng kwarto niya nakahubad na siya.
Narinig ko yung malakas niyang tawa.
"Exagg, ah?" Natatawa niya pang sabi habang pinupunasan ng towel yung buhok niya, mukhang kagagaling lang sa banyo at naligo. "First time beh?" Pang-aasar niya pa saka muling natawa.
"Tanga, nakakagulat ka naman kasi!" Bulalas ko.
"What's so nakakagulat here? As if di mo nakita 'to countless of times na." Kaswal niyang sabi.
"Hoy, pang six pa lang natin to ah grabe ka maka countless of times dyan feeling." Depensa ko naman saka naglakad palapit sa kama niya at nilapag don ang favorite niyang pizza. "At saka isa pa, ngayon lang ako pumunta rito ng ganito kaaga beh. Puro tayo lights off pag ginagawa yon," dagdag sabi ko.
"Why do you sound like disappointed?" Pang-aasar niya bago lumapit sakin at umupo sa harap ko. "Gusto mo ba mag lights on tayo ngayon?" Pagtaas-baba pa ng kilay niya.
Napatingin ako sa gitnang bahagi ng katawan niya.
"Mag towel ka nga muna, naaalibadbaran ako sayo." Sabay iwas ng tingin.
Narinig ko na naman yung mapang-asar niyang tawa.
"Sweet mo namang kafubu, binili mo pa talaga ako ng favorite kong pizza." Animo'y natotouch na sabi niya at talagang ngumuso pa.
Natawa ako sa kacutan niya.
"Mukha kang ewan, Marco." Natatawang sabi ko habang napapailing at kumuha ng isang slice ng pizza.
"Wag mo nga ugaliin 'to, mika." Seryosong sabi niya kaya nagtataka ko siyang tinignan.
"Ang alin?" Clueless kong tanong.
"Ito, pag ako nafall sayo ha--"
"Hey, walang ganon dito bruh! Chill tayo dito." Agarang putol ko sa sasabihin niya, malakas siyang natawa.
"Grabe, ang bilis magbago ng isip mo ah? Parang kailan lang nag o-omegle ka para mag hanap ng true love." tawang tawa niyang sabi saka sumubo ng pizza.
Sumimangot naman ako.
"Manahimik ka nga, nakakairita ka."
"Any updates about that guy who ghosted you?" Biglang seryosong tanong niya, na nagpatigil sakin.
"Wala pa rin," nauumay kong sabi.
"Bakit mo pa kasi hinahanap yung taong ayaw nga magpahanap." Seryosong sabi niya.
Natigilan ako.
"If I were you, I'll move on na lang." Dagdag niya pa.
"Pero di ako mapapakali hangga't di ko nalalaman kung sino talaga si N, Marco." Malumanay kong sabi na ikinatigil niya rin at nilabanan ang titig ko. "Malapit na magpasukan, there's a lot of chances to find him soon." Kampante kong dagdag.
"Mika, kung saan-saang department ka na ng crimson napadpad kakatanong about that fvcking N." Aniya, nakikita ko yung seryosong marco ngayon sa harapan ko. Yung marco na parang papatay ng tao kung makatitig, "Look, obviously pinaasa ka niya na ipu-pursue ka niya. He took advantage of you kasi alam niyang madali kang ma--" I cut him off.
"Mauto."
"I'm sorry, pero that's the truth and ayoko na parati kang ganyan. You need to be strong for yourself, the world doesn't revolve on him. Ni hindi nga natin alam if he's really existing ba talaga or just using other person's identity to make you believe he's real." Para akong sinampal sa mga sinasabi niya.
"Sakit mo beh ah," naiiyak kong sabi, manubig nubig na ang mga mata.
"Hey, I'm sorry if I was harsh. Alam mong ayaw ko na sinusugarcoat ka." Sincere niyang sabi habang hawak ang mukha ko."Magbibihis lang ako, may pupuntahan tayo." Dagdag niya saka agad na tumayo.
"T-Teka, akala ko ba..."
"Hindi naman ako ganon kahalay 'no, may nararamdaman din ako siraulo 'to." Seryosong sabi niya kaya napanguso ako para pigilan yung tawa ko.
Wala akong ideya kung saan man kami pupunta.
Tamang tao para maging kaibigan...
