Comrades in Action Book 2: Aiden Montaniez

Rough times

It has been a week since that embarassing moment. Until now I still can't get it off my mind without feeling the utter mortification I felt that day.. god! That was the most embarassing moment of my entire existence!

Being caught by your fiancè's mother under the covers with him while you're both topless is not something that I can easily take! I'm sure bakas pa sa mga mukha namin ang mga milagrong ginawa namin. And to think his mother saw all of that?! Nakakahiya! I acted like a teenager with raging hormones! Ugh!

"Hey. You okay?"

Napangat ang tingin ko kay Cece. Nakatunghay ito sa akin ngayon habang bakas ang pagtataka sa mukha nito.

"Weird... Aiden has exactly the same look this morning while talking to Mason.." She mumbled to herself. "Did you two had a rough time?"

"R-rough time? Rough time in what?!" I stuttered. Not able to hide the malice in my voice.

Cece's brow went up, "When I said rough times.. I ment problems, Nica."

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. "N-no. W-wala kaming problema.."

Umismid si Cece. "I hope you're aware that you're really not a good liar.."

"I'm.. I'm not lying!" I burst out.

"O...kay...?" Cece said still not conviced.

Ugh! Seriously! Tigilan mo na nga ang pag-aassume ng mga maduduming bagay Nica! Sinabi lang na rough.. inisip mo na naman na rough times in bed ang ibig sabihin nun!

Kinuha ko ang kape ko dahil pakiramdam ko matutuyuan ako ng lalamunan kay Cece.

"I forgot to ask.. why did I have to return in your condo? I mean there is really nothing wrong with that it's just that.. Aiden can fit perfectly well in the job of guarding you at night.. I just don't get it.."

"Um---"

"May nangyari ba sa inyong dalawa?!"

Naibuga ko ang kape sa bunganga ko sa tanong nito.

"Oh.. my... god..." Anas ni Cece sa nanlalaking mga mata.

"No! I-it's not what you thi---

"Nag-away na naman kayo?!"

----er... huh....?"

Cece rolled her eyes, "Walang ibang rason ng pagpapaalis mo kay Aiden kung hindi dahil nagkatampuhan kayo. Is this about his ex?"

Biglang umasim ang mukha ko sa dalawang letrang iyon. No, Cece. Hindi iyon ang dahilan kung bakit ko pinalayas ng di oras si Aiden sa condo ko. Pinalayas ko siya dahil muntikan ng may mangyari sa amin. As in totohanan na talagang mangyayari kung hindi lang sumulpot na parang kabute ang nanay niya. I don't want that sexual tension again to control us and having Aiden in my condo.. just the two of us in a room.. it will only take a matter of seconds before hell broke loose ending us up having a rough tumble in bed! And of course I can't tell you that because I already have two persons in my sleeves reminding me of that embarassing moment! Kapag sumama ka pa kina Tita at Aiden baka mabaliw na ako sa kahihiyan!

"Hmm.. now I understand.. ganoon pala ang nangyari.."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Shit! Did I say that outloud?!

"Yeah.. you just did.." Tumatango-tangong sagot ni Cece habang nakangisi ng nakakaloko.

Itinakip ko ang palad ko sa mukha ko and groaned in embarassment.

Cece chuckled at my reaction. "Don't be shy.. nagatataka nga ako kung bakit ngayon lang kayo naglevel up in Aiden given the thick sexual tensions you two have kahit na kasama nyo pa kami ni Mason sa iisang kwarto. After how many months, ngayon lang kayo nag-level up ng ganyan? Jeez! Do you know that I was this close to thinking na baka nga naapektuhan na ng malakas na pagkakasipa mo ang junior ni Aiden?"
