Nagluluto ako ng adobo nang narinig kong tumunog ang door bell namin.
"Lila, please get it." Kuya said from the garden.
"Saglit!" I said then washed my hands before proceeding to the door.
Tunog pa rin ito nang tunog kaya I half ran papunta sa pinto.
"Nandito na."
I said then opened the door.
"What's u..."
Cat got my tongue when I saw the man standing before me. He was covered in sweat as if he's had a long way before getting here. That didn't make him less hotter though. He was wearing a fitted polo and shorts that fits perfectly in his body.
What the fuck is he doing here?
"Lila." He exclaimed breathlessly.
"Jacob." I said.
"Jake!"
I heard Kuya's voice and he immediately ran to hug Jacob, my Jacob.
"Magkakilala na kayo?" Kuya asked, smiling.
Umiwas ako ng tingin at umiling.
My heart was clenching. So he's that guy? If only I have known, I shouldn't have agreed to this freaking set-up.
Jacob was my ex, my one and only ex. He's the only man I've loved. We broke up over a year ago. He was my first and last in everything. And now seeing him here. I coudn't point out what I'm feeling. It was a mixed feeling: anger, hurt, shock, longing, pain, hate, desire and... love. Fuck!
"Lila, you okay?" Kuya asked.
Tumango ako at pilit na ngumiti. I can feel Jacob's eyes piercing through me but I avoided his gaze.
"Yes, Kuya. Nagulat lang ako. Hindi ka naman nagsasabi." I laughed awkwardly.
Kuya just smiled.
"Well, this is my boyfriend Jacob Fantillan and J, this is my sister, the most beautiful girl in the world, Lila Adriano." Kuya said and I was forced to look at Jacob and smile.
Nilahad niya yung kamay niya, asking for a handshake.
"Nice meeting you, Lila."
His voice was husky and deep. It was just like the old times when he's moaning my name when I'm giving him a head or if he's thrusting inside me.
Fuck. Stop it Lila!
"Nice meeting you too, Jacob."
I said and accepted his handshake. I felt the familiar electricity that ran from his hand to mine. His grip was firm and I had to put out effort in order to take my hand away from him. The spark was killing me.
"Oh." Kuya laughed. "Everyone calls him Jake."
Umiling si Jacob.
"Nah, it's alright." Jacob said.
Tumingin si Kuya sa kanya as if he's confused but smiled nonetheless.
"No, no, it's fine. I'll call you Kuya Jake perhaps." I laughed.
Jacob clenched his jaw and I am so enjoying this.
"Ano yung nangangamoy?" Kuya asked suddenly.
"Fuck, yung adobo!" I shouted and ran to the kitchen.
"Language, baby girl." Kuya laughed at me.
I just gave him my middle finger and I saw Jacob shaking his head.
