Take Me Deeper [R-18]

TMD-16

Aya wasn't able to sleep that night. Iniisip niya ang mga sinabi ni Nick sa kanya. Walang nangyari sa kanila nang gabing iyon. Nick just dropped her in her condo building and kissed her goodbye. Which was new to her considering Nick's appetite in sex. Akala nga niya ay mauuwi na naman sa car fun ang pagpapahatid niya rito. Surprisingly, he didn't even mention sex to her. Maybe he was sick or something.

Ngunit bukod doon ay hindi mawala sa isip niya ang mga sinabi nito sa kanya habang magkausap sila sa party ni Thea. She was confused to where their relationship was headed. Akala ba niya ay no love and just sex? Ano ba itong mga ipinaparamdam ni Nick sa kanya? They were supposed to just indulge in sinful, no strings attached sexual relationship. Kung magsalita ito ay tila ba may iba pa itong gusto sa kanya. And it confuses the hell out of her.

Hanggang sa pagpasok niya sa trabaho kinalunesan ay wala siyang iniisip kundi ang lalaki. She stared blankly in the screen in front of her while Belinda kept ranting to her about her recent beau.

"All I'm saying is, what's a minute of your time to compose a text saying na you're going to be busy? Kailangan ba talaga na kapag hindi siya nag-reply I will just automatically assume that he's busy? I'm a lady! Normal lang sa ating mga babae na mag-overthink from time to time! I know that I'm a grown up and an independent woman but I need assurances, too! Hindi pwedeng he will just expect me to understand him all the fucking time! Are you even listening to me, Aya Valderama?!"

Napakurap siya nang lumagapak sa mesa niya ang dalawa ng palad ni Belinda.

"I'm sorry, what was it we're talking about again?"

Belinda narrowed her eyes at her. "Nevermind. Napagod na yung bunganga ko kaku-kwento. Besides, alam ko namang wala kang matinong advise sa'kin, knowing your lack of experience in relationship." pabagsak na naupo ito sa swivel chair sa tapat ng mesa niya. "I just need to let this out. Kailangan ko lang mag-vent."

Aya smiled at the pouting Belinda. Naiintindihan naman niya ito but she's right na wala nga siyang maibibigay na matinong advice rito. Kung ang sarili nga niyang problema kay Nick--na hindi naman niya karelasyon--ay hindi niya masolusyunan, iyon pa kanyang relationship problem ni Belle? Kaya naman umisip na lamang siya ng ibang paraan para matulungan ito. She grinned. "Do you wanna go out tonight?"

Mabilis na umangat ang mata ni Belinda sa kanya. She looked at her as if there were hair sprouting out of her ears. "Seriously? It's a monday."

She chuckled. Normally, she would never go out on a work night. But since she's feeling guilty about not listening to her friend rant about her boy problems, what harm could one night in club do? Besides, hindi naman sila gaano mag-lalasing. She just need to get her friend's mind off her shitty boyfriend. At kailangan rin niyang kalimutan pansamantala si Nick Ferrera.

They met up with Kylie after work. Kasama nito si Sean na boyfriend nito at ilan sa mga kaibigan nitong lalaki na minsan na ring na-meet ni Aya. They all decided to go to Desideria which made Aya groan. She haven't told her friends about her hair raising experience in that bar. Alam niya kasing kapag kinuwento niya iyon ay malamang na maungkat rin ang tungkol sa kanila ni Nick. For sure they would ask who saved her from that crazy son of a bitch. Alangan mag-imbento siya ng kung anong kwento. Isa pa, isa ang gabing iyon sa mga bagay na ayaw na sana niyang malala pa.

She felt instantly uncomfortable upon entering the place. Wala sa isip na hinapit niya ang suot na putting blazer sa ibabaw ng sequined dress niya. Although Nick reassured her before that he had the man banned from this bar and that everything has been taken cared of, hindi pa rin mapakali si Aya. It's giving her the creeps thinking that somewhere inside this bar could be another sexual predator. What if someone out there is getting harassed and there's no Nick Ferrera to save them? That sent a chill down her spine.
