One Night of unbearable lust

Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Zelo

Ang hapdi na ng mata ko pero hindi parin ako makatulog. Paano ba naman kasi? Kapag nakapikit ako nakikita ko lang naman ang mukha ni Duke. D@mn those blue green eyes, napakalamig ng kulay pero ang hot tignan. Napayakap ako ng todo sa unan ko nang naramdaman ko ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

Pabebe man tignan pero hindi ako makatulog dahil kinilig ako sa kanya. Tiyak mapapagalitan ako ni Kuya pag nalaman nya, it feels like I flirted with Duke once again. I closed my eyes and burried my face on the pillow.

I then looked at the wall clock, it's already 12 midnight and I'm still here rolling over the bed and giggling like a teenage girl that was noticed by her crush. I almost forgot about Zelo, I slapped my face a little to bring me back to reality and walked toward the room's balcony.

But near the door I grab Kuya's guitar that is placed on the floor and was leaning on the wall. I sat on the chair and started strumming the notes while looking at the stars and the moon.

At first I'm thinking twice if I'll sing because I already stopped singing nine years ago. I bit my lips and just close my eyes to feel my surroundings. Good thing, mosquitoes are not allowed here.

" Don't you know I'm no good for you?
 I've learned to lose you,can't afford to
 Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
 But nothin' ever stops you leaving"

Nangatal ang labi ko nang binigkas ko ang unang berso ng kanta. Punong puno yun ng emosyon at poot kahit hindi ko alam kung kanino ba talaga dapat ialay ang kanta.

" Quiet when I'm coming home and
 I'm on my own
 I could lie,say I like it like that,like it like that
 I could lie,say I like it like that,like it like that"

Munulat ko ang mga mata ko at tumingin sa mga bituin sa langit. Napakaganda ng langit ngayon dahil maaliwalas at puno ng mga maliliwanag na bituin. Mga bituin na naging saksi ng unang gabing isinuko ko ang sarili ko sa isang lalaki.

 "Don't you know too much already?
 I'll only hurt you if you let me
 Call me friend, but keep me closer
 And I'll call you when the party's over
 Quiet when I'm coming home and
 I'm on my own
 And I could lie,say I like it like that
 Yeah,I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that"

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago tinuloy ang pagkanta.

 "But nothin' is better sometimes
 Once we've both said our goodbyes
 Let's just let it go
 Let me let you go
 Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
 I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
 I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that"

Dun ko tuluyang tinapos ang kanta. Naalala at naiisip ko si Zelo habang kinakanta yun. Napatingin naman ako sa fire exit ng condo ni kuya, gumalaw kasi yun kaya napatingin ako sa taas kung saan nanggaling ang paggalaw.

Napahinga ako ng malalim nang nakita ko si Duke Alexander Clent na unti-unting bumababa dun. He was wearing his board shorts at sando, cool na cool syang tumalon nang medyo malapit na sya sa balconahe kung nasaan ako.

"G-good evening?" Nauutal kong sabi. Naaawkward kasi ako. Well? Sabihin na nating makapal ang mukha ko pero may kahihiyan pa naman akong natira sa katawan kaso mukhang kumonti yata dahil sa paghingi ko ng number ni Duke.

"It's already midnight Caes, bat di ka pa natutulog?" Tanong nya at humarap saakin. Pilyo naman sya ngayong ngumisi, "Dito ka pa talaga tumira sa condo malapit saakin huh" ani pa nya.

Muntik ko na syang mairapan kung di ko lang napigilan ang sarili ko. Ang hangin nya parin kahit kailan, kung wala lang talaga sa pamilya nya ang anak ko, kasi kung hindi? Asa naman syang papansinin ko pa sya diba?
