Bumaba ako mula sa sasakyan ko. Top down ito na kulay itim. Inayos ko ang buhok ko dahil medyo nagulo. Papasok na ako ng building nang magsalita ang security guard ng condominium na tinutuluyan ko.
"Miss hindi po pwede na i-park sa tapat ang kotse nyo."
Tuloy-tuloy lang akong pumasok sa lobby ng condo na parang walang narinig. Pumasok ako sa elevator at pinindot ang button sa tamang floor.
Pumasok ako sa pintuan ng buong condo namin. Kasama ko sa buong floor ang step brother ko. Narinig kong may kausap sya sa living room kaya pumunta ako doon.
"Thank you, Sebastian for considering my son. Sana maturuan mo ng maayos ang anak ko how to be a perfect man like a Sebastian Valdemor." saad ni Mrs. Mendez.
"There's nothing to worry about Mrs. Mendez. Mukha namang mabait at matalino si Aldrey." malagong ang boses na sagot ni Sebastian sa matandang babae.
"Good afternoon everyone." I enthusiastically said.
Nilapitan ko si Sebastian na nakatalikod sa akin at hinalikan ko ang pisngi nya habang nakatingin ako kay Mrs. Mendez. Ang anak naman nitong si Aldrey ay natulala dahil nasilayan nya ang aking dibdib mula sa pagkakayuko ko.
"What brought you here Mrs. Mendez?" I fake a smile at her. Ganun din naman ang ginawa nya.
"I'm here for Sebastian my dear. Gusto ko sana turuan nya si Aldrey paano kumilos ng maayos at maging gentleman." maingat na sagot sa akin ni Mrs. Mendez.
"Oh. He seems a good boy. Mukhang hindi naman mahihirapan si Sebastian sa kanya. Right, Sebastian?" baling ko sa step brother ko na nakataas na ang kilay dahil sa mga sinasabi ko. Nginitian ko lang sya at tinalikuran ko silang tatlo para kumuha ng alak.
"Bakit ba hindi pa kayo magkabukod ng bahay ni Katherine? Is that okay with you? To be with someone like her in the same roof?" pabulong na tanong ng matandang babae kay Sebastian.
"I know that Katherine have this reputation but she is my sister. We have to be siblings. Our parents will be happy if we accept this set up." marahang sagot ni Sebastian. I rolled my eyes.
Sumimsim ako sa baso. Tiningnan ko sila habang masinsinang naguusap. After a few minutes ay tumayo na ang matandang babae at ang anak nito.
"We'll go now Sebastian, Katherine." nag-alinlangan pa ang matandang babae sa pagbigkas ng pangalan ko.
"Take care, Mrs. Mendez!" my voice is full of fakeness. Isinarado ni Sebastian ang pintuan.
Inalis ko agad ang blazer ko. Si Sebastian naman ay itinaas ang sleeves ng polo nya hanggang siko at kumuha rin ng alak.
"That old lady. Masakit sa ulo ang boses nya. Halos 2 oras ata kami magkausap." reklamo ni Sebastian.
Umupo ako sa sofa habang umupo naman katapat ko si Sebastian. "What's with that boy? Tuturuan mo sya?" I asked him.
Ngumisi sya at tumango. "You remember Cassandra?" he asked me.
"Oh yeah! The girl who dumped you. Oh well, all the girls you dated dumped you. What about her?" I smirked at him while saying those words. It's the truth anyway.
"Aldrey is the reason why Cassandra dumped me. I want my revenge." he said. Napakabitter talaga nya.
"How will you suppose to do that? Sabotage his Gentleman 101 with you?" I asked him. He smiled at me sweetly. I don't like that smile.
"You will help me. Aldrey will have to fall in love with you and you have to break his little fuckery heart." he seductively said. I smirked at him.
"Come on, Sebastian. That's boring. I have something more exciting." tumayo ako para kunin ang isang bachelor magazine sa bag ko. Pumunta ako sa likod ni Sebastian at ipinakita sa kanya ang magazine.
"What? Am not gay. I'm not interested." he said in disgust. I rolled my eyes.
"Read page 27. Sorr de Vega Montero." I said while massaging his forehead.
"Boring." he said then handed back to me the magazine.
"Sebastian, I'll read it for you." I said while rolling my eyes.
"Boring, boring, boring. 21 years old. Lives in Tagaytay. Boring, boring, boring. I want to wait for the right time. Boring, boring, boring. I like writing some short stories. Boring, boring, boring. I like music." Sebastian cut me off.
"So he's talented." he said in a boring tone.
"Kind of? He have his beliefs. He's still a virgin. Gusto nya daw mag-intay for the right person. Good boy. He have a girlfriend though. Long distance relationship."
"No fuck. Virgin sya? He's not real." Sebastian said in a exaggerated tone.
"It's for me to know and for me to find out." I smiled like I have this plan.
"How will you execute this little plan of yours? Taga Tagaytay sya hindi ba?" nagtaas ng kilay si Sebastian.
"His father will be our Dean this coming school year and this boy will stay at my Ninang's house. How about that?" I smirked at him.
"Pangdagdag sa reputation mo? You will fuck the Dean's son before school starts. Entertaining." he said in an awe.
"I know right." umupo ako sa sofa while sipping my brandy.
"How about this, Katherine. Pagsabayin mong gawin? Your conquest with that virgin boy and Aldrey? I bet Aldrey is a virgin too." ang tono ng boses ni Sebastian ay tipong may mas masama syang plano.
"What's the catch?" I asked him while raising my eyebrow.
He stood up. Ininom nya muna ang alak na nasa baso nya. Humarap sya sa akin at kinalas ang butones ng polo nya. Mabagal at nakakaakit.
"You will have something you're obssessing about since your father and my mother got married." mapang-akit na sagot nya sa akin.
I crossed my legs while intently looking at his body. He is right. He have this perfect boyish face and a god-like body.
"No. Papasok ako sa gulo mo para sa isang beses na yun? No." I said in a tough voice.
Lumapit sya sa akin. Tumabi sa sofa kung nasaan ako. Hinubad nya na ng tuluyan ang kanyang polo. Naamoy ko ang pabango nya.
He caressed my bare shoulders while sniffing my hair and he whispered to my ear.
"You're already in trouble, Katherine. You will have me. Unlimited. We both know that I am the only one you can't easily have. Will you change your mind? Please, sweetie?" the Sebastian seductive as hell is the one you can't turn down.
"Unlimited?" I asked again. Napapaos pa ang boses ko dahil sa nararamdaman kong init sa katawan.
"Yes, sweetie. Anytime, anywhere. Kahit gaano pa katagal." he answered me. He kissed my ear and I swear to God I shivered.
Dumiretso ako ng upo. Naglahad ako ng kamay. "Deal."
Ngumisi sa akin si Sebastian. Tinanggap ang kamay ko. "Okay. Deal." we shook hands.
