SOUNDTRACK
I WANT IT THAT WAY...by Backstreet Boys
NAGISING SI KATE na medyo nananakit ang buong katawan niya. Ilang segundo rin ang lumipas bago niya nai-focus ang utak kung nasaan siya. Bigla ang pagbalik ng reyalidad.
Oh, God, what have I done?
Hubad siya sa ilalim ng kumot. Ramdam niya sa bawat himaymay ng katawan, hindi na siya katulad ng dati. She had given herself to a man for the first time.
She made love with Lucky.
No, they had sex. A heat-of-the-moment thing.
Lumukob ang sari-saring emosyon sa kanya-- pangamba, takot, hiya...panic...
Oh my god, oh my god!
Parang binabayo ang dibdib niya sa lakas ng tibok ng puso niya. What the hell came over her last night? She seduced her BFF! He was practically her brother! Parang incest nang matatawag 'yon! Yikes!
Brother ka diyan. Too late for your common sense to finally resurface. You gave up your cherry to him in an oh-so-brotherly manner last night. Bitch, please!
Tinutuya siya ng mahaderang konsensiya niya, and it wasn't helping.
Wala siya sa matinong pag-iisip kagabi, pagrarason niya. He took advantage of her!
Of course not, sagot naman ng kanyang konsensiya at hindi niya maaaring kontrahin ang katotohanan. Malinaw sa kanyang utak ang lahat ng mga naganap nang nagdaang magdamag. She remembered practically begging him to take her. She was the one who initiated everything. She kissed him, touched him, welcomed him into her body. And how she clung to him while he...Gosh! I can't even...!
She asked for it!
Mabuti na lang at nag-iisa na siya sa silid. Ayaw niyang makita ito ngayon. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin. Oh my effing god, I have to get out of here! It seemed that all she'd been doing the past twenty-four hours was run away.
Biglang bumukas ang pinto ng banyo. Lumabas mula roon si Lucky, nakatapis ng tuwalya ang baywang. Nagtama ang kanilang mga mata.
Bagong ligo ito. "Good morning, sleepyhead." May pilyong ngiti sa mga labi nito. His eyes traveled downwards, and stayed there.
Yumuko siya at nakitang litaw ang kanyang dibdib. Oh, shit! Dagli niyang itinaas hanggang leeg ang comforter. Parang sinisilaban ang pakiramdam niya sa hiya. She must be red in the face like an overripe tomato.
Mainit na mainit na ang kanyang mukha sa embarrassment. Gusto niyang magtago sa ilalim ng kumot, o sana'y lamunin na lang siyang bigla ng lupa. But she had to handle the situation as gracefully as she did everything else. Hindi na siya menor-de-edad. She was a mature woman, and she was going to take full responsibility for the consequences of her actions.
