Say You Love Me

Chapter 7

"YOU slut!"

Iyon ang nakangiting wika sa kanya ni Vik. Kace finally had the guts to tell Vik about what's happening between her and Zijhan.

"Shut up, Vik." Saway niya rito saka nagbuga ng usok ng sigarilyo. They were having coffee; it was a Sunday morning. Nagyaya ito na lumabas na naman sila at dahil nasa mood siyang magpa-akay dito ay sumama na rin siya.

"Oh you are a slut, Kace. Who would have believed that this thing which only started with one drunken kiss, would eventually turn into a casual hookup?" Vik said.

Napaisip siya. Casual hookup. Fuck buddies. Fling. Iyon ang ilan lamang sa mga iba't-ibang tawag sa dalawang tao na mayroong physical relationship pero wala namang emotional relationship. It has been two months since Zijhan first went to her condo unit, explained his side, and lastly, offered friendship. It had been two months since Zijhan said that he was not ready for a relationship. Well damn it, it has been almost three months since they have started doing it! Nakakapunyeta talagang buhay ito!

What started in the beach, suddenly became another rendezvous in her condo unit, her office, in the car, and everywhere they can ever think of!

Hindi na rin alam ni Kace kung anong gagawin. Everytime she would see Zijhan, she would try her damnest best to stop him from kissing her. For her it was the right thing to do because they talked about JUST being friends two months ago, right?

But what the damn hell happened? Do friends fuck each other?

Nakikita rin niya kung paano si Zijhan nagpipigil sa mga gustong gawin. She can tell how much he wanted her everytime she looked into his eyes. Noong minsan na tawagan siya nito para kumain sa labas at ihatid siya sa kanyang condo unit, kitang-kita sa mga mata nito ang pag-aasam sa kanya. Nang mabuksan niyang ganap ang pintuan, hindi na ito nakapagpigil at saka siya nito iniharap at marubdob na hinalikan.

Sa una'y nagulat siya at nagtangka pa itong pigilan ngunit sa mga sumunod na sandali ay gumagalaw na rin ang kanyang mga labi para tumugon sa mga halik nito. Ang mga kamay din niya ay nagli-likot na mahawakan ang katawan nito. When they finally reached the bed and she was on top of him, he grabbed her legs and brought her center to his face. He licked over and over and oh boy, she never stopped coming.

May isang beses rin na tumawag si Zijhan para yayain na naman siyang kumain sa labas. Kace said no even if her mind says the opposite. Bukod sa abala siya sa kanyang trabaho ay hindi na rin niya alam kung paano pa pakikitunguhan ng binata. Sure she was used to occasional flings but they never went this far! At isa pa, alam naman niya na mayroon pa ring hang-ups ang binata sa paghihiwalay nila ng ex-girlfriend nito na si Mara. She realized he was too complicated to deal with.

May isang araw na nagkaroon na sana siya ng lakas ng loob para kausapin ito tungkol sa kanilang ugnayan. He invited her to go to the movies. She thought maybe, after watching, she could tell him what she feels about their situation. Ngunit daig pa ng maagap ang binata dahil kahit nasa loob sila ng sinehan ay napakalikot ng mga kamay nito!

Kakaunti lamang ang tao sa sinehan dahil last full show na. They sat near the top part of the cinema. He looked at her and smiled naughtily. Bakas na naman sa mukha nito ang matinding pagnanais sa kanya. His hand slowly went to the insides of her skirt and his fingers never stopped playing with her until she exploded. Kung hindi lang niya napigilan ang sarili na mag-ingay, malamang ay na-eskandalo nila ang mga kasama nilang nanonood. After that, she swore to never wear skirts when they're together.

Kace sighed in frustration. "I can't be a rebound, Vik! I don't want to. I don't want to wake up one day and realize that I'm falling for him. Alam ko naman na pagkatapos nito, ako lang ang argabyado."
