The Foreplay

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

"Celine..." There he is, waiting for me to get off on this car. But I can't. Alam mo yung feeling na gusto ko nalang sumama kay Franc ngayon dahil ayoko makita ang pagmumukha niya.

"Celine please talk to me..." It was two years since hindi ko na sila nakikita at nakakausap. I heard na lumipat sila sa Baguio. Mabuti kung ganun, at least malayo sakin. But here he is... Sumisilip sa bintana. Naghihintay na lumabas ako.

I looked at Franc, and he seemed so naive at this very moment.

"Are you going to talk to him?" He asked.

"No. Please, umalis muna tayo dito. I don't want to see his face anymore" I replied. I saw him nodded then we go.

I saw William standing alone. Nakikita ko parin siya sa side mirror. Papaliit ng papaliit. Hanggang sa mawala na.

Dalawang taon na ang nakalipas, but I still hate him and love him at the same time. He was just my first love, and I don't know why does he did that to me. Hindi ko parin siya pinapaniwalaan.

*flashback*

"Babe, makinig ka. It was just an accident. Lasing ako, I don't know what happened! Please, don't leave me..." I get my toothbrush on his cr. Yes, aalis na ako sa condo niya. I'm going to get everything here.

"Babe please say something. Wag mo naman akong iwan, babe please naman. I love you..." Kinuha ko parin ang mga damit ko sa kabinet niya at pinasok sa maleta ko. I left the dresses na pinamili niya sa'kin. Pera niya yun kaya ayoko ng kunin yun.

Hinahawakan niya parin ako, but I really don't feel him at all. Sobrang nasaktan ako, kaya ngayon manhid na ako. Pati katawan ko nagiging manhid na.

"Don't worry, i will tell my ate to go here at your condo. Siya na ang papalit sakin" sabi ko sabay kuha ng maleta.

"No. Babe! Makinig ka naman sakin. I don't like nor love Celestine! It wast just an accident. Nag away tayo! Nag lasing ako, then suddenly she came here! And I don't know what happened next!" I smirked.

Ang galing naman nun. Ano yun? Pagdating ng ate ko, nagka amnesia na siya agad kaya di niya naaalala ang mga nangyari? Wow lang.

"Babe please, don't do this to me. Pano na tayo?" I clicked the elevator button. But he still here on my side. Begging.

Nang bumukas ang elevator. Thank God walang tao, ayokong mapahiya. I enter and click the Ground floor button.

"Wala ng tayo William" I said. Then the door closed.

*end of flashback*

Franc stop the car.

"May bibilhin lang ako" he said. Hindi niya hinintay na mag salita ako agad siyang bumaba sa kotse niya.

I saw him entering in a convinience store. Pag balik niya may dala na siyang apat na boteng vodka.

"Don't worry, all of these are mine" he said then turn on his car.

Nagpark kami sa isang lugar na wala masyadong tao. It was a hill. Yup, makikita mo ang view dito. I can see the city light of Makati. Umupo kami sa harapan ng kotse niya.

"So..." He started the converstation with that word.

Inagaw ko yung vodka na binuksan niya. And he seemed surprise because I drink it rushly.

"Relax there young lady"

"I'm 24, I'm old enough to drink this"

He just giggled and shook his head and theb look the city lights in front of us.

"Two years..." I smirked. "Two fcking years... Tapos bigla nalang siya magpaparamdam" I saw Franc looking at me. Talagang pinapakinggan niya ako.

"He was my first love, first kiss, first boyfriend, everything. He took my virginity, niyaya niya pa akong magpakasal. But one day, everything changed when I saw him sleeping beside my sister. Both naked" I sighed and drink vodka "grabe, I can't believe it. Sobrang nagulat ako nun" I paused "pero alam mo kung ano yung mas masakit? Yun yung kapatid mo, admitting that what they did was really planned. Na yung ginawa nila ehh gusto nila and sh*t, God know how I want to kill them both pero anong ginawa ko? Nagparaya ako"

I drink again. And this time my tears went falling.

Franc was just silently listening to me. I looked at him

"Sa tingin mo? Tama ba yung ginawa ko?"

He sighed "No. Dapat pinapili mo muna siya, dapat you listened to him first, dapat inassure mo kung totoo ba yun"

I giggled. Sarcastically giggling and then drank my drink "No. My ate won't lie to me. Mas nananalig parin kasi ako sa kasabihang 'blood is thicker than water'"

"Well, sometimes blood could be the reason why you'll get hurt" he paused and drank his vodka "blood could ruin everything. But water can clean anyone. Even pontius pilate clean himself because of water" I smirked on his words of wisdom.

"Dami mong alam sa blood at water" ubos na ang isang bote and I get the other one. Medyo tipsy na ako. Yeah, it was a vodka. God, this sh*t is so good.

"Celine..."

"Mmm?" I replied then looked at him.

"Do you believe in second chance?"

My forehead creased "Bat mo natanong?"

He rolled his eyes "Just answer my question"

I nodded "Yes, I do believe. But I think not everyone deserves it"

"Sa tingin mo he don't deserve a second chance?" I quickly look at him. He was waiting for my answer.

Second chance? Me and William? I don't think so, I still love that guy but that doesn't mean na bibigyan ko siya ng second chance. What he did to me was too much. Siguro mas matatanggap ko pa kung ginawa niya yun sa bestfriend ko, pero sa kapatid ko? Gosh, yun na nga lang ang pamilya ko. Nawala pa. Actually, they are both my family. But it seemed like, ako nalang yung naiwan sa aming tatlo.

I look at Franc, he is still waiting for my answer.

I drank the vodka until maubos.

"No. He don't deserve any chances in me"

"What about us?" I froze for a second. Lumakas ang pintig ng puso ko, is it me? Or the vodka?

"What do you mean?"

"The Foreplay we did..."

Napaisip ako, nagflashback lahat ang nangyari sa amin sa Batanggas.

I looked at him and he was looking at me too. I saw his red lips, God, bat parang naaattemp akong halikan ulit yun?

He was slowly came towards my face.

"I guess the answer is a yes"
