Forbidden Love

Seventeen

"Welcome.." i smile as i open the door and see Mika outside my appartment.

Nangunot ang noo ko ng mapansin na namumutla sya.

"You okay?" I ask. Tumango sya at tipid ma ngumiti. "Ang putla putla mo, Mika. May sakit ka ba?" I spat her neck but her temperature is normal.

"Maputi lang talaga ako." Tumawa sya pero hindi umabot iyon sa mga mata. "Im from US. Sanay ako sa lamig kaya namumutla ako kapag mainit." She explain. Then she roam her gaze at me.

We decided to meet up for us to collaborate about my book. Inilagay nya ang pangalan ko as co writter. Funny.

Lumawak ang ngiti nya at mukang alam ko na kung bakit. Im wearing an apron.

"You cook?" She ask me.

Tumango ako. i remove my apron and leave my polo. Sleeves are folded and tuck under my pants.

"I cook Spicy Caldereta." I smile. Her eyes widen and she giddily went to the kitchen "That's my favorite!" Sumunod ako sa kusina na tatawa tawa.

"That's Erin's favorite too."

"Talaga?" She ask. Binuksan nya ang kaldero at inamoy ang niluto ko. "Ang dami naman naming pagkakapareho." Sumandok sya ng kanin kahit hindi ko pa inaalok.

"Pati kapal ng muka ninyo pareho." Tumawa ako. "Inalok na ba kitang kumain?" Pinasarkastiko ko ang boses pero hindi man lang sya natigilan. She even scoop Caldereta for herself.

"Bisista mo kaya ako Jett."

Sumandok din ako ng pagkain ko at sinundan sya sa sala. She settle herself at the couch and eat. I used to eat at the dinning pero dahil sa couch nya gusto ay doon din ako. She reminded me of Erin again.

She use to enjoy our pancakes in the couch way back then.

I sit beside her and eat the food i cook.

"Chupa chups?" She ask as she gaze at the bowl in my center table. It's full of chupa chups.

Tumango ako. "Erin's favorite."

Ibinaba nya ang pinggan at ngumiti sakin.

"Mahal mo talaga sya?"

"Mahal na mahal." I answer. "I still go to the places where we use to hang out. Eat her favorite food. Talk to her picture. Everything that reminds me of her."

"Saan ba kayo madalas pumunta?"

"We dont usually hang out. Our situation was never easy. So here, dito ako madalas pag walang tabaho, dito kami gumawa ng masasayang alala nung buhay pa sya."

"Sorry ha, pero.."

"Namatay sya dahil sakin." I answer the unsaid question. Alam kong iyon ang itatanong nya. We're on the end of the book at ito na lang ang kulang. "I let go of her and that's the biggest mistake that i did. I let go of her and that became the reason of her death."

Tears cascade from my eyes.

Bagay na laging nangyayari kapag pinag-uusapan si Erin.

Lumapit sya sakin at niyakap ako. I felt the feeling of warmth and contentness. Pakiramdam ko ay sya si Erin. Sya ang babaeng mahal ko.

She push me a little as she cup my face. She wipe the tears cascade my face. I hold her hand and kiss it. I know i should'nt be doing that but i cant help it. Pilit kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na hindi dapat. Pero sinasabi ng puso ko na sya si Erin.

I crashed my lips on hers and kiss her. I let her feel all my love and agony through the kiss. I kiss her the way i want to kiss Erin. She response as she encirle his arms in my neck.

My tears were still falling as i keep on kissing her. I nibble her chin as i stuck my tongue to taste her, lick her in the most passionate way possible.

I pull her gently as she sit on top of me. My hands roam in her body. I remove her shirt and feasted my eyes through her body. I swear, i can see Erin's body infront of me. I know every curves, every edge.

My body flared with heat as i suck her skin and she rewarded it with loud moan. She get a grip of my hair and pull me closer. I unhook her brassierre and suck her taut nipples as soon as i remove all the hindrance.

She arch her back and let me savour every piece of her.

"Jett.."

I felt her need and hunger when she remove my shirt and tried to unbutton my pants. I help her through it. The next thing i knew we were both naked in my bed inside my room.

Panting and screaming in sheer pleasure as our body spasm in a steamy orgasm.

I wake up with her still by my side. I smile as i stare at her face. She's Erin. Im sure she's Erin. She's my Erin. Her phone rang from the table and it awaken her sleep. I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I have a gut feel to hear who's calling. Erin check on me and that added my doubt. She get her phone and place it in her lap. She answer it in a speaker phone.

"Where are you Mika?" I heard a man's voice from the phone.

"Im at Jett's place." She answer.

"Jett?" I can hear the uneasyness at his voice. My brows furrow. His voice is somehow familiar.

"Yeah. The client. We were finishing the book." Erin answer casually.

"He already see you?" His voice were trembling. Now i know there's something wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Tumawa si Mika. "Im a good girl. Dont worry." She hang up.

I close my eyes still. I was stilled when she carres my face and whisper something that make my heart tug. Lalong lumakas ang kutob ko na sya si Erin.

"If only i could go back, Jett."
