Of Love and Politics I: Juego Limpio - Completed

CHAPTER 24

Lily gulped. Shit. Sabi na nga ba at maling idea na puntahan niya ito kanina. She could have saved herself from this situation.

She shivered once they got inside the hotel that they rented. Wala na daw dalawang available na room dahil occupied na lahat. The other students also went inside the hotel nang maabutan na ng baha. And since San Victores is a rich town. Almost everyone can afford hotels like these. So students swarmed. Kaya wala siyang choice kung hindi samahan ito.

Isang gabi lang, Lily.

She looked around and held her breath. It was a honey moon suit too. Just her luck then.

Napakagat labi siya.

"Do you like the kiss?" Biglang pumasok sa isip niya ang sinabi nito kanina. And she shook her head hard. Shit. She liked the kiss too much that it hurt to stop it. Pero hindi niya iyon sasabihin ditto. She had to guard her heart. Hindi pa handa si Alana sa isang seryosong relasyon at hindi siya para ikama lang.

Alana emerged from the bathroom wiping her hair. Nakatingin ito sa kanya at nang bumaba ang tingin nito sa labi niya ay agad niyang inalis ang pagkakagat nun. Her heart started beating hard against her chest.

Ang lamlam ng mga mata nito habang nakatingin sa kanya. Those eyes also dilated.

Napapaypay siya sa sarili niya at nilagpasan ito. She also quickly grabbed the towel on the other side of the bed to go to the bathroom.

She heard a low chuckle from Alana's throat. Hindi niya na lang ito tiningnan dahil siguradong matutukso lang siya.

Pagkapasok niya sa banyo ay napatingila na lang siya. She's questioning her entire existence right now. Hindi niya akalain na magkakasama sila ni Alana sa isang lugar na hindi sila nag babangayan. But clearly Alana's aim is to get her into bed.

Binuksan niya ang shower at tumapat doon. She closed her eyes tightly. Then she felt a hand held her arms. Tumayo ang balahibo niya. Lily felt a kiss on her neck and she moaned. The tips of her breast suddenly perk up.

Gumapang ang kamay na iyon sa tagiliran niya at sinakop ang dibdib niya. She shivered and opened her eyes quickly.

Damn it. It felt too real!

What the hell is she doing, imagining Alana inside the damn bathroom?

"Great." Lily felt sticky down there. She got wet by her own imagination. Tinodo niya ang lamig ng shower at mabilis na nag shampoo at nag sabon. She had to sleep or else it would be the death of her!

Pero tapos na siyang maligo ay ayaw niya pa ding lumabas ng banyo. Natatakot siyang makita si Alana.

She sighed and wore the provided pajamas for them na binili nila nang nag book sila ng room. But it was almost see through siguro dahil isang gabi lang naman.

Nilalamig pa din siya. Niyakap niya ang sarili at napatingin sa maliit na bintana ng banyo. She hears the thunder and rain outside. The wind is even howling.

Napapitlag siya at napatingin sa pinto ng marinig ang katok doon. Then it was followed by Alana's voice.

"Hey? Lily magkakasakit ka kung andiyan ka lang sa loob." Alana chuckled. "Gusto mo bang matulog diyan? Pwede naman. Basta wag mo akong sisisihin kung magka pulmunya ka."

"L-Lalabas na!"

She gingerly opened the door and Alana was standing there, looking stunned. Lily was also shocked seeing Alana there.

Napatingin siya sa suot suot nito. It was a pink pajama paired with a pink house slipper. Samantalang blue naman ang sa kanya. Al looked a little soft dahil sa color ng suot nito. Hindi niya inaasahan na bagay pala ditto ang ganun. She couldn't help but chuckle.

Sumimangot naman ito. But she can clearly see the blush forming on Alana's face. "What are you laughing at?"

Nagkibit balikat siya at nag tungo na sa higaan. Naupo siya sa kabilang side pero nag punta din doon si Alana. Tumapat ito sa kanya at nakakunot ang noo na tinitigan siya.

"Are you laughing at me because of this pink pajama and slipper?"

Lily chuckled. "Ang laki ng problema mo, Alvidrez. Damit lang yan."

"Hindi bagay sakin?"

Napatitig siya ditto. Alana is used to people seeing her cold and temperamental pero sa totoo lang. Sa tingin niya ay kailangan lang nito ng taong makakaintindi ditto. Someone who would be there through the ups and downs of Alana's emotion, without judgement but understanding.

"No. It think it's adorable. It's refreshing to see you in colorful clothes. Bagay pala sayo. It makes you a little soft."

Hindi ito kumibo sa sinabi niya. Saglit na nag tagis ang mga bagang nito. And before Lily could say anything ay tinulak nito ang balikat niya at pinaimbabawan siya. Her hand pinned above her head.

Panick instantly engulfed her. W-What the hell is Alana doing?!

Tila nag summersault ang puso niya sa ginawa nito. Hindi din siya makahinga ng maayos dahil amoy na amoy niya ang bango nito. Ayaw niyang maamoy iyon dahil baka matukso na siya ng tuluyan.

Alana looked into her eyes and smirked.

Ang lakas pa din ng tibok ng puso niya. Hindi niya sana maiintindihan ang sinasabi nito kung hindi niya din nakikita ang pag kibo ng labi nito.

"Trust me, Cariña (Sweetheart). Soft isn't what I'll do to you."

Sa sinabi nito ay dumoble ang tibok ng puso niya. Tila nag wala din ang mga paroparo sa tiyan niya. Damn it. The effect Alana had on her. She should shake its control o matutupok siya. Lily put all her strength to break away from Alana's hold and pushed her off.

Kumunot ang noo niya at tinitigan ito ng masama. "You pull that stunt again I'm out of here."

Al smiled lazily. "You are challenging Lily Saavedra. But I can tell that you want me. Why aren't you giving in? Hmmm...."

Hinawakan nito ang dulo ng buhok niya at pinaikot ikot iyon sa daliri nito.

Her heart did a flip again. Para siyang magkaka heart attack sa ginagawa nito. Her sweat is also piling up on her temple and neck. Biglang parang ang init init ngayon kahit na todo ang ulan sa labas at may aircon ang buong kwarto.

Ramdam niya ang pag iinit ng pisngi niya. She tapped Alana's hands away and moved to the other side of the bed. Kinuha niya ang mga unan at inilagay iyon sa gitna.

"I told you don't do that again."

Alana shook her head and smiled at her again. Bago ito pumwesto sa kabilang side ng higaan. Lily put a hand to her heart nang humiga na siya sa pwesto niya. Humarap siya ditto para makita niya kung may gagawin ito. But Alana also closed her eyes.

Lily bit her lip. Ang ganda ng pilikmata nito. It was unusually long.
