13: Approached

Happy monthsary Vicerylle! :)

As soon as he opened the door to his unit, the two came in stumbling onto every wall they could touch and shared long, wild, deep kisses. She ran her hands through his hair as she played with the hem of his shirt. He had his hands firm on her butt, squeezing them as he pulled her up against him. He stroked his thumb along the side of her neck and he was gratified to see her shiver under his touch. He lowered his head and brushed his lips over the spot on her neck where his thumb had been resting.

She pulled away and took his hand as she lead them to his bedroom. He let her take the lead. She seductively pinned him down on the bed and started to unbutton his shirt slowly, teasingly, and trailed kisses down his body. She felt his crotch as she started to unbuckle his belt with her free hand. She was about to unzip his pants when he suddenly stopped her hand and sat up slowly. Confused and disappointed, she flipped her body and sat beside him.

“Ahh.. sorry.” he said while looking down on the floor, avoiding her stare. She did not reply, but she moved closer to him and hooked her arm through his while seductively playing with his hair. Hinarap niya ang mukha ni Vice sakanya and she was about to crush her lips onto his when he looked away again.

“Why don’t we take it slow? Alam mo yun.. get to know each other, talk about anything and everything under the sun. The basics.”

Tumigil siya sa paglalaro sa buhok ni Vice. “That’s not what I came here for.”

It took him a while bago siya nakasagot. “Sorry Ana..” he muttered.

He was shocked when she suddenly slapped her and got up. “It’s Andie.” she said and stormed off the unit, banging the door as she left.

Natulala siya saglit and rubbed his cheek. Masakit ah. Nahiga siya habang tumatawa sa nangyari hanggang sa napagod narin siya at napatigil nalang bigla. “Ana.. ikaw nga pala yon no.”

He sighed heavily. “Ikaw nga lang pala yung masaya kakwentuhan.”

“Sigurado ka na ba dito Vice?” tanong ni Anne habang binabasa ang resignation letter niya.

He nodded slowly. “Para din naman sakin ‘to.”

Finold niya ulit ang papel at itinago ito sa drawer niya. “Okay, hindi na kita pipigilan. You seem so certain about it already.”

He managed a small smile. “Thanks for everything, Anne.”

“No, thank you Vice. You’re a great colleague and a great friend. Kung sakaling magbago yung isip mo, remember na lagi kang may babalikan dito.”

“I have one last favor to ask, Curtis. Okay lang ba?”

Nag-nod naman siya. “Yeah, sure.”

May kinuha siya sa pocket niya at nag-abot ng small piece of paper kay Anne over the desk. “Ito yung prize. Pero sana pag nakaalis na ko tsaka mo nalang ibigay sakanya.”

Inabot niya ito at tinignan ang mga nakasulat. “When are you planning to tell everyone?”

“Bukas sana.” he answered before he left her office.

He spaced out, again. Nakapalumbaba na naman siya at nakatulala. Nahihirapan na siyang mag-focus lately, hindi niya alam kung bakit pero laging nandun yung urge to lay his eyes on her who was seated on the other end of the room, mas madalas pa nga sa dati nung okay pa silang dalawa. Paano naman ako makakalimot nito?!

Nagulat naman siya nang makita niyang nakatingin din sakanya si Karylle. Dali-dali siyang nag-look away at tinuon ang attention sa mga random papers na nakakalat sa desk niya but he caught himself smiling like a lunatic. Sige asa lang nang asa Vice.
