Falling for the Masterpiece

Chapter 25: Sulasok

YUKI

Nakasusulasok. This is the familiar feeling whenever I am doing this. Hindi lang dito sa M.I.C.E.S. Minsan sa bar, sa mga condomenium, even for some of my group of friends from school.

May mga nakapili na sa mga kasama ko. Nakayuko lang ako, hoping that no one notices me. May mga pamilyar na kliyente sa labas ng salamin. Lahat sila ay naka tuxedo halos. The aura they emit is as if they could buy the entire building if they want to. But I'm here, dahil kailangan kong kumita. I slowly lifted my head in attempts to sell myself again.

Sell myself? Ang pangit pakinggan.

Binebenta ko ang sarili ko. I thought I'm already slowly leaving this life noong makilala ko si Ivan. I was about to enter a fresh start in life. Pero ang sakit lang, he never has any plans of including me in his after all.

At this moment, tila gustong bumaliktad ng sikmura ko. It's as if my last meal has trouble being digested. This is the feeling of being in an exam in school. The agonizing feeling of waiting before taking a test.

Nakababaliw.

You know that your heart is pumping so hard that you just want it to get done rather than experience prolonged agony.

"Ren!" That's my escort name. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ba ako o manlulumo when a familiar voice called my name from the clients' area. I heard a familiar chime of a small bell from that one piece of earring on his right ear. He barged into the room. Grabbed me by the hand, sabay hatak sa akin palabas ng aquarium.

"Treble Alarcon?" I called him pero ayaw niyang bitawan ang kamay ko.

"Why are you back here?" Napahinto kami nang ipasok niya ako sa private room niya.

"I just need extra income—"

Hindi niya ako pinatapos. Isinandig niya ako sa pader ng kuwarto sabay itinaas ang mga kamay ko and pinned them to the wall. Sinimulan niyang romansahin ng maiinit na halik ang leeg ko slowly down my chest.

"You should have never come back here, Yuki," sabi niya while trying to catch his breath as he went down on my treasure trail. He knows my real name. I opened up to him one time. He respected my privacy after that.

Hindi ako makasagot. Bigla niya akong hinila sa sofa sabay patong sa akin.

He rushed to unbotton his coat. Pinilas niya ang long sleeves niya. I heard the buttons scatter to the floor in that dark room. Muling umalingawngaw ang mga halik niya sa balat ko.

"Treb—"

"You know how crazy I was rushing here when the owner told me that you're back?"

He immediately went down for my underwear. Hindi niya inalis ang corset vest ko dahil iyon ang fetish niya.

Agad niyang nginudngod ang mukha niya sa brief ko. He was smelling it so well. He was even licking, caressing it with his hand, waiting for me to be turned on. Pero nakatulala lang ako sa kisame. He was rubbing his face on it. Every movement of his head made his earring chime more hanggang sa nakakabingi na.

He paused. "Yuki? May problema ka ba?" Nasapagitan pa rin siya ng mga hita ko. He was looking at me with his dopey eyes while still stroking his prize inside that thin cloth.

"Wala naman, Treb."

"I've been playing with it pero hindi ka pa rin tinitigasan."

"Sorry."

Tinabihan niya ako. He asked me to sit down. Sinunod ko siya pero nakatingala pa rin ako. He put back his pants. He leaned back on the sofa at sinamahan ako sa pagbibilang ng mga pattern sa kisame. He lit a cigar, took one hit, and blew it into the space above us. My view became hazy.
