Shush Series (Book 1)

The Perfect Mistress 4

Trixie

A week passed. Tuluyang umalis na sa ospital si Rica. Serves her right. She’s a dumb naïve bitch who tried to play with fire. And Doc Archer hasn’t been contacting me too. He’s trying to take control of the situation but he can’t. I won’t allow that. I call the shots. Not him.

While we’re on a cold streak, I focused on myself nalang muna. Went back to my old routine. Stayed fit and sexy. As my ex boyfriend who’s in the Army used to say, the most crucial moment in war is during peace times. Dapat lagi kang handa para pagdating ng isang sitwasyon, naka handa ka.

Early in the morning I went for a jog outside my usual path. Sinubukan ko lang makakita ng bagong view. Tinarget ko ang isang local park malapit sa amin. Habang nasa daan ako, hinde mawala sa isipan ko ang mga nangyari. I tried to forget about it. But it keeps coming back like a pesky mosquito.

“oi sexy hehe. Hi miss!” isamg boses ng tambay na agad kong sinupladahan. I don’t have time for these degenerates. Napansin kong dumadaan na pala ako sa slum area. Ugh, naamoy ko kaagad ang maasim na simoy ng hangin mula sa mga nabubulok na mga basura sa gilid ng kalsada.

“sungit naman!” pahabol ng tambay. Fuck you.

I kept jogging but in a much faster phase. I wanna get the hell out of this place immediately. Siguro sasakay nalang ako ng puv pa uwi. Ayoko dumaan ulit dito.

It took me 15 minutes to reach the park. Nakita ko ang mga nagja jogging sa oval. Sumabay na ako sa kanila. Habang tumatakbo ako, nilagay ko ang ear pieces at nakinig sa grunge music. The rock beats keeps me going I guess.

Maliit lang ang oval road ng park kaya naka pitong ikot ako bago ako nagdecide na bumalik. Overall, it was a good run at walang kakaibang pangyayari. After that, sumakay nalang ako ng tricycle pa uwi. Ayoko dumaan sa same area kanina.

Nang makarating na ako sa apartment, dito ko nacheck na may ilang messages na pala ako. Siguro noong nasa tricycle ako naka receive ng message. I checked it and it’s from Doc Archer.

“Pwede ba tayo mag usap? Let’s meet mamayang gabi sa usual place.” Message nya. I wonder what he wants. Akala ko ba wala na ako sa buhay nya. And now he’s contacting me. It’s been a couple of days since the last time we’ve actually talked. So, sumagot ako at nag agree.

8pm

Maaga ako sa meetup. Nakasuot ako ng manipis na white shirt at hapit kaya kita ang pusod ko. Dinoblehan ko ito ng faded leather jacket at ripped jeans. I was a bit of a punk rocker back then. I don’t why though. Just a phase I guess.

“Trixie. Mabuti at dumating ka. Akala ko di mo ako sisiputin.” Dumating si Doc at mukhang decent at mabango parin ang porma nya as usual. Naka long sleeved maroon polo shirt at slacks with a pair of obsidian black shiny shoes.

“what makes you think na di ako sisipot?”

“Well you know, hinde maganda ang last na usapan natin so I thought baka indianin mo lang ako tonight but I’m glad nandito ka. You look good. Edgy, I like it.”

“Why? You’re a punkster back then doc?”

“Haha no. But I used to want to be. Kaso my parents are very conservative.”

“Then why not try it out for once?”

“Maybe next time.”

Pagpasok namin ay kaunti lang ang tao. Good, at least tahinik kaming magkakausap. Matapos umorder ay nagkaharap kaming muli sa same restaurant kung saan kami madalas magkita.

“So, what have you been doing lately Trix?”

“Nothing much. Ikaw? How’s your wife?” tumaas ang kilay ni doc nang mabanggit ko ang misis nya.
