FUBU

veintinueve

"Uggghhhh." I groaned, feeling the loud banging in my head. It's usually because of a hang over, I can never go wrong with that. 

I stood up, looked around and saw an unfamiliar body beside me. 

I twitched my head to the side trying to remember what happened the previous night. And as the memory started flooding in, I open my mouth in realization.

"Ahhh." but then the headache started to attack again. 

I stood up and grabbed two aspirins, drank it up with water and started gargling. 

I heard the footsteps coming from the room and notice how he was leaning on the edges of the door, smiling.

"Yes?" I turned to him, agitated of how he is smiling at me. I could not even remember his name. 

"You were awesome last night."

I rolled my eyes while crossing my arms against my chest.

"You have to go now."

"Bakit?"

"Because I say so."

He raised his hand in resignation. 

"I just want to let you know that I am more than just a booty call. I'm sure you don't even remember my name. And I mean you have no memory at all. But.." he disappeared from the room and grabbed his shirt, "I'm sure you are aware that we've been at each other's path for what, three weeks now? For some reason, you and I keep bumping at each other in that same bar."

"That's because you know when I will be there, for some strange reason. Like a knight in shining armor."

"Right." he started putting his pants on but stopped as he was just about to zip himself up, "Do you want me to stop?"

I realized my mouth is now slightly opened, like it's drooling for the body standing in front of me. 

"Don't be ridiculous. I want you out. That's it."

"Alright. SInasabi ko lang naman. I am single, available and I know you like what I can do. I can hear it in your voice every time you moan." he came closer, whispering against my ears while his hands were slowly caressing my waist.

Something inside me has started to awaken. 

"But maybe next time, you'll moan my name as I thrust harder inside you. Sabi nga nila, there's nothing sexier than a woman who whispers or moans the name of his lover in the middle of their love making."

I closed my eyes as his lips started trailing against my earlobes. 

He knows my weakness and yet I haven't even slept with him for that long.

"Shut up." I kept my eyes close, trying to wash away the heat that he has started to ignite. 

I could hear the sound of his smirk as he left my house. I kept breathing for a few minutes before I managed to open my eyes again. 

My house is empty once again. Three weeks. It's been three weeks since I've decided on my father's fate and three weeks since I left the company that I have been working on for the longest time I could remember. 

Three weeks ko na ding hindi nakikita ang dati kong mga kaibigan. 

I took a quick shower and wrapped myself with a towel. Just when I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw my father's urn. 

Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin napag-desisyunan kung ano'ng gagawin. I should have buried him or something. 

I mean, I have enough cash. My father's insurance just gave me enough cash to last me I guess a lifetime.
