The Fall of Holden Hidalgo [Completed]

Chapter 17 - Dinner

Chapter 17 - Dinner

(POV Holden)

DINNER. I called Helena and told her that I will not be able to join her for dinner. I just fabricated a lie na kasama ko ngayon ang barkada ko. It seems that Leon's ridiculous suspicion about Helena and the mystery behind the deaths of Gretchen and Jasmin are still bothering me.

Dinala ako ng mga paa ko sa isang bar para mag-inom. I need a clear head para makapag isip, pero nandito ko sa lugar na mas lalong makakagulo sa akin. I want to be strong, but I am already shaking inside. Kung buhay lang ang kapatid ko, his soothing presence will be able to help me.

Sa gitna ng aking pag-iisa, lumapit sa akin ang isang babae. She is wearing a jewel-toned velvet short dress, an alluring party attire as I can almost glimpse her breast. If I am not mistaken, she is not wearing any brassiere.

She also looks like a foreign national, mukha siyang part Filipino, part South African. I can't pinpoint where I have seen her before, but I know I already met her once sa isang party.

"Kanina pa kita pinagmamasdan. Mukhang nag-iisa ka," she seductively said as she touched my hand.

"I prefer to be alone and uninvolved with anyone here in the club," I answered in a cold tone.

Napapapikit ako ng mata dahil sa rude response ko sa kanya. Nasa loob ako ng isang night club, dapat inaasahan ko na ang ganitong mga sexual approach. Kung ayaw ko ng istorbo, dapat sa library or tabing dagat ako pumunta.

"I can accompany you in your solitude. By the way, I am Keisha," sabi ng babae na umupo sa isang empty stool katabi ko.

Keisha Garzola. Narinig ko na ang pangalan niya noon. Kung tama ako, she is a small time singer and songwriter. With her provocative attitude, mukhang siya ang magiging dinner ko ngayong gabi.

"Holden," maikli kong sagot.

"I like your name. Just like the Australian automobile manufacturer? Interesting name. I bet there are other more interesting things about you. The club has a private section upstairs. Do you want to join me?"

"Yeah. Sure."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako pumayag kay Keisha. Maybe I need a distraction from everything that is happening. Gusto ko alisin sa isip ko ang pagkamatay ni Gretchen at Jasmin. Gusto ko matanggal sa isip ko na may kinalaman dito si Helena.

The moment I gave my nonchalant answer to Keisha, she pulled my hand right away as she makes her way to the second floor of the club. Nandito ang mga ilang semi private couches na mayroong division.

Lumapit ang waiter at umorder pa si Keisha ng alcoholic drinks para sa amin. Medyo marami na din ako nainom kanina. Mukhang magpapasundo ako kay Leon dahil hindi ko kayang umuwi ng mag-isa.

"You look familiar, Holden. Are you related to Harland---"

"Harland is my younger brother," I said as I cut her off.

My brother is a bit famous at maraming nagsasabi na magkamukha daw kami, except I look older and more serious compare to my carefree brother.

"I am sorry, Holden. I didn't mean to brought this up."

"No worries. It has been years since my brother passed away. Shall we go back business?" I seriously asked her.

She hesitated to answer dahil hindi niya alam kung anong tinatanong ko. I just forcibly grabbed her neck and kissed her lips to let her know my intentions.

I don't usually do this lalo na sa isang public place, but my stress levels are beyond my imagination. I hope she can push me away and slap me so I can go back to my senses.

I was taken aback when she clung her arms around my neck. Mukhang ganitong laro ang gusto niya. Without asking her permission, I cupped her breast and mold it using my hands. The soft velvet of her dress is adding more fuel to the sexual tension between us.

Nagulat na lang ako nang biglang pumaibabaw sa lap ko si Keisha. She kissed me as if there is no tomorrow. Her hand is even trying to unbuckle my belt. Mukhang mas lasing pa siya akin.

"Easy there," bulong ko sa kanya sabay hawak sa palad niya bilang pagpigil sa ginagawa niyang paghaplos sa akin.

Siguro nga ay medyo lasing na ako, pero I don't think I can fuck her in public. This kind of kinky stunt is not me. Though may privacy ang bawat couches dito, I am sure all of the cameras are fully operational. Ayokong magkaroon ng scandal dahil lang sa problema ko ngayong gabi.

"Touch me, Holden," bulong ni Keisha as she try to dry hump me.

I followed her command and lowered my hand under her dress. She gasped the moment she felt my touch. My other hand raised her dress and within seconds, my mouth is already devouring her breast. I was in the middle of pleasuring Keisha when I saw a familiar name on my phone on top of the table.

The person that I am afraid to face right now...
