Burning Desire [R-18]

C H A P T E R - F I V E

Why does it seem that every time we almost cross paths, she just definitely disappears?

Now that I clearly see her face and everything, I've started to remember every bit of what happened in Boracay.

I still can't remember how I ended up in my bed.

I went back to the table, and Casper was already drunk.

Loud talking and bragging seem to be the habits of men when they're drunk.

"You can stay the night with me, your father knows," Casper loudly shouted near my ear.

Does he know that he is not whispering?

Casper and my parents are really close to each other. That's why I can rely on casper whenever I am in trouble.

He always has my back.

He has no problems with his parents and my parents, that's why felix trusted him so much, the rest is I don't know what's going on between my family and his family.

I sat down, and the dancer really never left the table.

I'm not interested in this girl.

Filthy little girl.

I wave my hand, indicating that I don't want this girl and should leave me alone.

I want to drink and drink....

In a dimly lit club, my friends chatted animatedly beside me, but my mind was elsewhere.

Tinitignan ko lang silang lango narin sa alak. I don't know if I was hallucinating or what.

But I saw her.

Why do I keep chasing?

For what?

Napailing nalang ako sabay tungga sa basong may laman na alak.

Sinipat ko ang aking relo, 9pm na nang gabi. Maaga pa ang pasok ko bukas pero, nakakapagod pumasok.

Why do I need to take this course when I really hate it?

If my life were easy and my father didn't force me to do things he wanted, what would I do?

I only took up badminton to annoy him.
He hates badminton, and he hates me playing badminton.

No, he hates me for being myself.

Gusto lang naman niyang sumunod ako sa mga maduming gawain niya.

Tumayo ako habang hawak hawak ang baso na may lamang alak. "My life is really fucked!"- tawang sigaw ko sa kanilang lahat.

Nagsitinginan naman sila sakin nang ilang segundo at nagpatuloy sa mga ginagawa nila.

Casper tapped my back, but I shrugged it off. I grabbed the half bottle of rum and took a swig.

I didn't know what I was doing anymore.

"Tama nayan.."- iyan ang sambit ni Casper, sabayang pagkuha nito sa bote.

Hapong napaupo nalang ulit ako.

"May sigarilyo ka?"- iyan nalang ang tangi kong tugon sa kanya. Umiling ito hudyat na wala itong dala.

"You want some?"-

Sambit ng isang lalaki, tinignan ko ang sigarilyo kung sino ang nag-abot.

"Btw, Miguel"- hindi pa ako nakapag salita ay nagpakilala na ito.

Nakakunot noo namang tumingin si Casper sa lalaki at ang ginawa ko'y kinuha nalang ang sigarilyong inabot nito sakin.

Sinindihan ko ang sigarilyong hawak ko ngayon, sabay hithit. Buga.

Tumayo ako kahit ba-bara bara dahil sa may tama na ng alak at iniwan ko sila sa table.

May narinig nalang akong komosyon pagkatalikod ko pero wala na akong pakialam kung ano ang nangyayari.

Nakangisi lang akong lumabas ng bar habang hithit nang hithit sa sigarilyo.

Inilabas ko ang aking telepono at agad na hinanap sa contact list ang pangalan ni Megan.

I dialed it.

After a few seconds, Megan answered the phone.

"Meg, I think my phone is broken. The letters are doubling up," I said with a chuckle. Humithit ako sa sigarilyo at ibinuga iyon sa hangin.

"Are you drunk?"- the tone of her voice was immediately changed.

"I don't know, I just dialed your number. Why did you call me?"-

"For fuck sake Arya, where are you??"- Inis nitong sagot sa telepono.

"Where are you?" I questioned her back with authority in my voice.

"Who are you talking to?"- rinig kong may nagsalitang isang lalaki sa kabilang linya.

"Megg??"-I said with a tipsy voice and a small chuckle.

"Where are you, please tell me?" Megan asked me. I felt sadness in her voice.

I quickly answer her with the street address of the bar.

I waited a minute and she showed up with her raptor truck in front of me.

Annoyed of my well being right now.
Which is my situation she assist me to enter in her car

"Sino nga pala yung kasama mo kanina"- tanong ko nito sa kanya. Habang nagmamaneho siya.

Pabagsak na ang mata ko at gusto ko ng matulog, tumihaya sa kama.

Ilang minuto lang ay dumating na kami sa condo ko kung saan ako nagi-istay ngayon.

"Hindi mo naman sinagot yung tanong ko eh"- pangla-lambing kong sambit.

"Floor?"- iritang tanong nito sakin habang akbay akbay, inaalalayan ako sa elevator.

"13, room 9"- sagot ko dito.

Nakikita ko ang reflection namin sa elevator.

"You're sexy you know"- pitlaga ko. Tinignan ko siya sa mata at kahit apat ang nakikita ko dahil sa hilong nararamdaman ko ngayon ay mas lalo ko pang-inilapit ang mukha ko sa mukha niya.

Tumunog ang elevator hudyat na dumating na kami sa palapag.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier"- Ngisi kong sabi sa kanya.

I don't know, but I like the feeling of being drunk.

Smiling, not thinking anything. Just pure happiness out of nothing.

Inihagis ko ang aking katawan sa kama.

Umupo ito sa tabi ko habang ako ay nakahiga.

"I really need to go, Arya," she whispered.

"Stay for a moment," I paused. "I appreciate you for being here with me," I continued, looking into her eyes. She smiled at me.

I slowly moved my face closer to her, and I felt our lips touch.

We kissed.

I gently moved my lips, and she responded to my kisses.

I gasped for air while we kissed. I started touching her body, laying her down as I kissed her. Every move of my lips was full of passion.

I can't resist.

Habol hininga akong tumingin sa mga mata nitong namumungay na nakatingin din sakin.

I kissed her slowly and passionately while my right hand slowly ran from her stomach to her breast.

"Megan," I whispered, filled with desire as I uttered her name.
