She opened her front door and walked in without welcoming Atticus who was carrying her shopping bags. Dire-diretso siya sa bar to get herself something to drink. Kailangan niyang kalmahin ang sarili pagkatapos ng pagkikita nila na hinding-hindi niya ine-expect na mangyayari ngayong araw.

She was just talking to Atty. Lim three days ago.

"Where do I put these?" Atticus asked na nakapasok na pala sa condo niya na and was now standing in her grand sala.

She glanced at him and took a sip of water from her glass. "Just there on the couch. I'll fix it later."

And he dropped everything on her long, white couch at biglang prenteng umupo sa single couch na naroon. "Did you like living here?" tanong bigla nito. "I had it designed by my favorite architect."

"You can go. I'm tired from all the shopping. We can do some catching up some other time, kuya," she said coldly and turned her back on him to go to her bedroom.

"Hindi ko alam na lumaki ka palang bastos sa bisita mo," he sarcastically commented habang nakasunod sa kanya sa kwarto niya.

Celine turned around to see him enter her bedroom. "What?"

"Nice interiors. I see that my architect really followed the palette I said," puna nito while looking around her room.

"Thanks," she sarcastically said. "Kahit na ipinatapon mo ako dito, hindi mo naman hinayaang tumira ako sa isang pangit na lugar."

His eyes narrowed sa parinig niyang iyon.

"Tell me, ano pa bang kailangan mo at nandito ka? Ibinibigay ko na sa'yo ang kumpanya mo. I am not interested with it at all." She removed the her hair and let her hair flow freely. Her wavy hair is longer now. She used to wear her hair short pero simula ng mag-modeling siya, kinailangan niyang pahabain ang buhok for runway walks.

"I'm just concerned with your life decisions, that's all. I'm still your guardian," mariing sagot nito. "I didn't pay for your university just to see you giv it up for some stupid dream."

"Stupid dream?" manghang tanong niya dito. "How dare you! And since when did you care about me and my dreams? Umalis ka na!" she said, now visibly angry. She pointed to her front door.

"Hindi ako aalis until I've talked some sense into you!" he shouted back and moved towards her. He trapped her with both arms on either side of her. "You'll come with me to Singapore and you'll end this crazy modelling dream of yours! You're not a whore!"

Nagulat siya sa sinabi nito. "Wow," she said, half-laughing. "Just wow!" Hindi niya ipinahalatang apektado siya sa pagkakalapit nilang dalawa ngayon. "I'm not a whore? Really?" So ang tingin pala nito sa modelling ay pagbebenta ng sarili. Well, she's posed for a lot of lingerie brands that barely covered her body pero hindi lang naman iyon ang brands na kumukuha sa kanya. She's been in high-end fashion shows of couture designers.

"Sorry..." he whispered.

There was silence for a few seconds.

And she spoke. "Didn't you forget? You left me years ago, thinking I was one," she whispered back at him. "Without letting me explain myself."

She can see how his face quickly contorted in anger because of that memory. "You were my girlfriend then and you slept with someone else!"

"I was drunk and didn't know it happened," sagot niya. "I didn't even know if it happened. You just decided to believe the photo and leave."

He looked at her now, more intensely than ever. "Fine, then tell me you're sure it didn't happen."

She looked down, not meeting his gaze. That's one thing she doesn't know for sure. Wala siyang memorya ng gabing iyon.

But she was surprised when he gently caught her face, "I was willing to give you the world then, Celine."

She laughed sarcastically.

His fingers trailed down her neck, sending shivers down her spine. "I was willing to marry you and bring you with me."

"Why? Because I own 20% of Tito Leo's shares in the company. Kaya gusto mo akong pakasalan noon?"

Nagulat ito sa sinabi niya.

"Don't dare deny. Iyon lamang namang talaga ang pakay mo sa akin noon. How naive of me! Well, to be fair, I was only sixteen then. Kaya siguro nagtiwala kagad ako sayo. I was still a child but you played me!"

"What? Who told you that?" tanong nito.

"It doesn't matter. I think you should leave now." She tried to escape from his hold on her arms pero mas malakas ito. "I said let go, Atticus! Ano ba! Nasasaktan ako!"

"Tell me, did you ever sleep with anyone else while I was gone?" tanong bigla nito.

She was shocked. "You left me! At wala ka ng pakialam kung anumang gawin ko sa buhay ko. This is my life now since you put me on exile!"

"Did you sleep with anyone else?" tanong muli nito, his voice louder this time.

"If you think I'm a whore, I don't have plans of changing that. It's been that way for five years now, hindi ba? Wala na akong pakialam kung anong iniisip mo tungkol sa'kin ngayon."

Sa galit ay itinulak siya ni Atticus sa kama.

"Atticus, ano ba!" she screamed. But he was quick to remove his coat and join her in bed. He trapped both her arms above her head.

"I missed you..." he whispered and kissed the side of her face.

Nagulat si Celine sa sinabi at ginawa nito. She was angry at him a few seconds ago pero biglang nawala lahat iyon dahil lamang sa mga sinabi nito ngayon. He kissed her cheek, then, her lips.

And she can't help but admit to herself that she missed those lips. She's never been kissed and touched by anyone since he left but she'll never give him the satisfaction of knowing that. His hands moved to pull down her denim skirt. Mabilis nitong nahubad iyon.

She stopped resisting when he started kissing his hungrily, as if his life depended on it. His hands started making its way to her thighs. And it automatically set her body on fire.

"Stop," she whispered halfheartedly. She didn't want him to stop but she wants to save a bit of her dignity and pride.

He looked up at her face. "We both know I won't be able to stop now." He said, unbuckling his belt and kissing her again.

"H-hindi ka ba nandidiri sakin?" she whispered, in between kisses.

"Fuck, no!" he moaned and kissed her neck, while his hands moved up her blouse to caress her breasts. "You're amazing... God, I missed you so much, Celine."

And with those words, she decided to willingly give herself to him that night. Not just once, but around four times.
