What Was Always Mine

Always 17

Always 17

I was literally standing infront of Villafuerte's unit for like five minutes now. Ang sabi niya ay makikipagmeet siya sa akin ng ala una, kagabi niya pa iyon sinend. Nag-follow up na ako sa kaniya ngunit wala pa rin siyang reply sa calls and texts ko.

Nasa loob man lang ba siya?

I started ringing the doorbell a couple of times but still, no one answered.

Nasaan ba ang lalaking 'yon? Nakalimutan niya ba? Nakatulog ba siya? It's already 1PM! 'Yon ang call time namin tapos male-late lang siya? Ayaw ko naman 'yung pinaghihintay ako!

I was about to press the doorbell once agaij when suddenly, the door opened... revealing a topless and tall man who looked like he just woke up. His eyes were indeed bloodshot and his hair was disheveled, he was only wearing sweatpants too.

Bumaba naman ang tingin ko at marahang napalunok nang mapagtantong wala nga talaga siyang suot na pang-itaas! I thought my mind was just playing with me—well, it's not like I fantasize about him either! The hell!

Kaagad kong ibinalik ang tingin sa kaniyang mga mata. "Magdamit ka, Villafuerte." mariin kong tugon sa kaniya.

"Oh, right... sorry. I just woke up, come inside." aniya at niluwagan ang butas ng pintuan.

He smells really good...

Snap out of it, Raia.

Inilibot ko ang tingin sa loob ng condo niya, I didn't expect it to be really neat... na para bang walang kahit isang alikabok sa paligid. Malaki rin at maganda ang interior design nito, literal na simple yet sophisticated looking.

Nagsuot naman siya ng itim na shirt at sakop na sakop ang katawan niya no'n. I stared at him for a while, iniwas ko rin kaagad nang muntik nang magtama ang paningin naming dalawa.

"Nice place," I said.

"Yeah." maikling tugon niya, his voice was a bit hoarse. "Do you want something to drink?"

I shook my head. "It's fine."

I noticed how his eyelids were a bit droopy and his eyes were still as bloodshot as before. "Are you alright?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

"Hmm? Why not?" balik niyang tanong at dahan-dahang lumapit sa gawi ko.

"Why don't you just rest and I'll comeback tomorrow..." sabi ko, hindi ko man lang namamalayan na umaatras na pala ako sa bawat hakbang niya.

He stepped closer and closer until I felt the cold wall behind me. Napalunok ako nang dahan-dahan niyang inilapit ang mukha namin sa isa't-isa. I roamed my eyes across his face as he trapped me in his arms.

I could feel the tension building up between us and I could feel my heart raising by the second. He inched our faces closely together as if he was ready to kiss me or something. I hitched my breath.

But then, to my horror, his body collapsed on top of me! I could feel the blazing heat coming from his body. Nakakapaso! Ang init ng katawan niya! Figuratively and literally!

"Huy! Sievan!" Niyugyog ko siya. Ang bigat niya pa naman!

He was breathing heavily on my neck and it sent shivers down my spine. Not the right fucking time, Primoriah.

He groaned. "You smell nice,"

My forehead knotted. "Are you drunk?" He doesn't smell like alcohol though.

I felt him slowly shaking his head.

"Sievan..." I said, I was gripping onto his shirt tightly as I tried to pulled him up with all my force.
