Okay, for the record, let's get the story straight.
I am a lawyer. I work with facts.
But for the past three years, there has been this one case that I can't seem to put my finger on. And the worst thing about it is that, I'm not even dealing with a person.
This is about a four post canopy bed.
I got the bed from an old client in the province.
"Lola used to say it can make your darkest wishes come true," she said, "but it never worked, as far as I'm concerned." my client laughed.
She has always been a sweet child, just like her late grandmother.
"I remember your lola, it was a shame that she got widowed soon after she gave birth to your father." I told her. "Your grandfather was my first client after all, they were on their way to Manila when he died in a road accident."
"And now that we're selling the villa, I'm afraid we have to get rid of most of the stuff in here." she sighed.
There were lots of other furniture in the villa, but that huge canopy bed was the one which caught my eye. It looked majestic; as if it was calling me into its bosom, ready to embrace me into deep slumber... That's why I decided to take it home with me.
I slept on it that very night after placing new satin sheets on it and surrounding it with Italian lace. I tell you, it was the best sleep I had in years! I always woke up full of vigor, ready to face another grueling day, and was always looking forward to a good night's sleep.
But then one day, I was assigned a murder case. A man caught his wife in bed with his best friend, killed them in a blind rage, and got his children caught in his frenzy. He's pleading for partial insanity.
That night, after going through the case several times, I finally succumbed to sleep.
I was soon dreaming that I was in my own room, the full moon showing through the billowing curtains. I lie on my back in my canopy bed, my arms stretched out, when I see a woman standing right next to me.
I am an old man now. I never married. I couldn't. But the sight of that woman made my body burn and gave life to parts of me that I never thought I could ever use.
She sat on top of me, her naked body pressed to mine, and her full red lips closed over my mouth in a sensuous kiss.
