Innamorata

*Chapter Eight*

Binuksan ni Montez ang silid sa second floor ng bahay. At dahil wala namang kumportableng sofa doon ay kumuha muna siya ng kama mula sa isa sa mga guest room para gawing pansamantalang higaan ni Ceres.

After he placed the single bed beside the study table, Lucan carefully laid Ceres down on it.

Hindi naman na nagsayang ng oras si Montez at agad nang sinuri ang kaibigan. He took a sample of her blood to determine the weapon that made those nasty cuts and wounds. After that, he was rummaging his potion filled cabinet in search for a first aid cure. Kailangan muna niyang matukoy ang uri ng patalim bago tuluyang malaman kung anong puwedeng gawing gamot sa mga sugat ni Ceres. Nang ipapahid na niya ang first aid potion sa kaibigan ay muli siyang pinigilan ni Lucan.

"Let me do it." She said that earned another stare from him, he then smiled fondly at her, triumphantly.

Agad nang pumunta si Montez sa working table dala ang sample ng dugo at inabala na lang ang sarili doon. While he was working, he passed looks at Ceres and Lucan every once in a while, a slight smile was painted on his lips. Kahit hindi maganda ang lagay ng kaibigan ay natutuwa naman siyang makita ang dalawang babae sa iisang silid. Sayang lang at walang malay si Ceres 'di sana ay nakikita nito ang labis na pag-aalala ng babaeng may itim na itim na buhok dito. It was surreal to stare at Lucan, she always looked like a pigment of a dream. Her beauty was hypnotizing.

"Kailangan niyang mapalitan ng damit." Ani Lucan sabay tingin kay Montez.

"The room in front of the room next here is her bedroom." Imporma niya na halos hindi naman pinansin ng dalagang naglakad na patungo sa pinto.

"I know." He heard her say right before she closed the door.

"Unbelievable." Namamanghang saad niya habang tulalang nakatitig sa pinto. Paanong ang kuwarto lang ni Ceres ang alam nito at hindi alam kung nasaan ang working lair niya?

Pagbalik ni Lucan sa silid ay bitbit na niya sa isang kamay ang pamalit na damit kay Ceres, nasa isa pang kamay naman ang porcelain na palangganang may lamang maligamgam na tubig at bimpo.

Lumapit si Montez para patakan ng mabangong likido ang tubig. Iyon ay pampawala daw ng amoy ng dugo sa katawan ni Ceres. It was her cloaking perfume, she could tell by the smell of strawberries that filled the air.

Sinimulan na niyang punasan ang mga parte ng katawan ni Ceres na may bahid ng dugo. Tatanggalin na sana niya ang hoodies sweatshirt ng dalaga nang mapatingin kay Montez na nakaantabay pa rin sa ginagawa niya. There was his all knowing smile again, painted shamelessly on his darned lips.

Sumenyas siya bilang pagpapaalis dito na ngiting-ngiti naman nitong sinunod sa pagtataka niya.

Dahan-dahang iniangat ni Lucan ang damit ni Ceres gamit ang nanginginig na mga kamay. What she thought was an easy task was way far from it. She heaved a sigh as deep as the ocean, why was she nervous she doesn't know the hell why. Sa tinagal-tagal na niyang nabubuhay sa mundong ibabaw ay napakarami na niyang hubad na katawang nakita, mapababae man o lalaki, dinaig pa niya ang isang doktor sa totoo lang, so why does it bother her to see another naked body? She guessed she knew exactly what the reason was. As she took a peep on her stomach while she was pulling her shirt up, that smooth and milky skin took her breath away. It was making her impossible to move too, thus she deliberately had to look away. Guilt flooded her as to why she had to lust over an unconscious woman. She gritted her teeth, reprimanding herself at the same time. Ang nangyari tuloy lalong naging tila slow motion na ang pagtatanggal niya ng damit kay Ceres, paano ay halos nakapikit na niyang ginawa iyon. As she finally took off the shirt completely, she couldn't take her damned traitor eyes off her anymore, she swallowed a painful lump as she was now looking at the most beautiful almost half-naked body her eyes laid upon on, thanks but no thanks to that black laced bra because it just covered what it needs to be covered and the rest was all in a spectacular jaw dropping view right before her feasting eyes. Napangisi siyang saglit habang sinusukat sa isip ang size ng dibdib ng dalaga. Her hands could cup it perfectly. She thought naughtily.
