Blurred Lines

44 two fishes in the ocean

They were woken up by the slam on the door as if trying to break it. Ian offered to open the door while Lea sat down and rub her eyes. He readied himself on who might be on the other side. As expected he saw Bamboo's furious face, push him a little on the side to make way and search for the bedroom which is easy to find cos it only has one.

"Lea! Go and get dress! We're leaving!" while staring at her bared legs.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hindi ba dapat ako ang magtanong sayo nyan? What is my fiance doing here with other man?!" he look at her as if piercing her soul. "sleeping in the same bed" ...pause a bit only to find a bottle of alcohol on the floor "and drinking with a guy?! So masarap ba mag inom dito sa kwarto? How was your night Lea?" as he went near her not even blinking. All she can do is bow her head to avoid his gaze.

"magbibihis na ako" the only word that came out from her mouth then walk to the cr.

He then face Ian who's in the kitchen who grab a beer and place it on the table near where Bamboo is standing.

"Inom ka muna. Pampalamig ng ulo"

"Why are you with my fiance? Did you fuck her?"

"ssshhhh be careful with your choice of words. She wouldn't like that if she gets to hear." smirked

"I don't need you to lecture me about my girlfriend.. Fiancé to be exact! You do not have the right to touch her or else..."

"Or else what?!! How about you, where have you been? She went to your house to visit you and bring some food because she THOUGHT (emphasizing the word) you were sick pero nasaan ka? Nasa chicks mo!" bravely looking at his eyes as if he's sure about his judgment. "then you'll show up in my front step accusing her of things that you're doing to her. Nakakatakot talaga ang sariling multo. Ayaw mo na lokohin ka nya pero yun ang ginagawa mo sa kanya.

"Ano mga pinagsasabi mo?!! Hindi ko siya niloloko!"

"Alam mo kung anong totoo! I know a lot about you so you be careful" lean close to his ear "

Bamboo hold his collar "Are you threatening me?!" ian only smiled that pissed him off and was about to punch him when they heard Lea's voice.

"Stop! Let go of him! I'm done! We can now leave!"

She pick her bag and tap Ian's shoulder "Thank you for yesterday" she smiled and walk outside the door while Bamboo followed.

He's somehow irritated bout his conversation with Ian. He's right in everything he said but the question is how did he know or maybe just trying to make him confess.

They stayed silent the whole elevator ride. When they're on the basement Lea walk to where her car is and remembered that she got flat tires.

"Shoot! " putting her palm on her forehead.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"You brought your car, i suppose... I can't drive, i'm flat, the reason why i needed to stay here for the night"

He examined the tires and his forehead creased and become suspicious "Pano ka naflatan??"

"I have no idea. When i got here everything's fine, i think.. But when it's time for me to go that's where Ian found out that i have 2 flat tires and i only have one spare"

"So bakit di ka na lang nya hinatid?"

"He said he doesn't have gas anymore"

"Ah.. And you believe him?"

"And why would he lie?"

Magaling.. I underestimate him saying this to himself then face Lea "Sinadya ang pagbutas sa gulong mo. Someone wants to keep you here and he succeeded"

"What are you talking about? You mean he's the one who did these to my tires? We were together upstairs so it can't be."

"is he with you the whole time? Hindi siya nawala sa paningin mo kahit sandali?"

Lea's sort of squeezing her brain to remember "He did but he said he's jut going out to get something?"

"And he came back with nothing! Am i right?"

"but it doesn't mean that he's the one who did that. He's a lovely guy. He cannot do those things to anyone. Besides there's a lot of bad people out there. It can be someone else but not him."

"so you don't believe me?"

"Can we just go? I have headache, i wanna go home and rest"

"Nga pala may hang over ka. Nakipaglasingan pa kasi sa isang kwarto ang mapapangasawa ko!"

"Can we just talk about that some other time?!"

He led her where his car is park. No one's talking and when he look to her side he saw her beautiful sleeping fiance. He carefully tuck in the loose hair that was covering her face.

When they got home. He carried her bridal style and put her to bed. She look to tired and stressed but still gorgeous.

"Babes, hot bath ka muna para masarap tulog mo"

"my head hurt so bad. Can you just help me change?"

"I'll ready the tub. Kahit fast bath lang para mabawasan sakit ng ulo mo. I'll help you okay?"

He make sure the warm water is ready and put bath bombs on the tub so it'll be more relaxing. Help her walk and shock when Lea started to remove her clothes. He gulp upon seeing her white flawless skin. He fight the urge not to look and wait for her to go into the tub before he face her.

Rub her shoulder blades with the sponge up to her back. She lean her head back and massage her temple. That's where he saw a kiss mark on her neck. Everything flash back, seeing her with just a polo inside Ian's bedroom and in his bed. He's mad and affected but decided not to ask her cos conscience also hit him for cheating on her. He was with Georgina the time Lea's with Ian.

He's confuse on what he's feeling. He shouldn't care whoever Lea sleep with as long as she'll marry him and get back at her. He's in love with Georgina, the woman he longed to be with for the rest of her life and Lea is just nothing.. Telling this to himself.

He's thought was cut when he heard his phone ring. Excuse himself to Lea saying the call might be important.

It's Georgina who was calling "hello?"

"Hon? What took you so long? Matagal paba business meeting mo?"

"ah yes and nagkayayaan to go out tonight. I'll just go there tomorrow. Lock your door, alright?"

We hang up. Yes i lied. There's no business meeting.. There's no going out with friends tonight. I just decided to stay here with Lea. I don't know why but my whole being wants to stay.

She came out from the cr with just a towel wrap around her body. Walk in front of me and sit on my lap. I tense for some reason.

"Relax babes!" she encircled her arms around my neck and initiated the kiss.

Grab her by the waist, carried her and let her body fall on the bed. I tried to joke around to lighten up the situation "Baka magalit sakin si Ian"

She slap me on my arm "He doesn't have the right to get mad. I am all yours and you are mine.. All mine" as if looking for an assurance. I look away, guilty.

"Why? May problema ba tayo?" she sat down on the bed.

"wala" he grab her nape and kiss her torridly until something happened.

Lea's sleeping soundly while he's looking at the ceiling trying to digest what has happened. He had sex with Lea. Is he cheating to Georgina? But Lea is her fiancé so technically, he's cheating on her?

His phone ring and didn't want to answer upon seeing who's calling. He's nervous for some reasons.

He went to the veranda not to wake Lea up and press the answer button.

"What the heck Bambs!! Why did you send me an audio of you and Lea having sex. Konting respeto naman! I thought it was me that you love na iiwan mo din siya.. What was that?!!! Answer me?!!!"
