FRIGATE

"Happy new year." I whispered then pressed a kiss on Selene's temple. Bahagyang inilayo ko ang ulo ko para makita ang mabining ngiti sa mukha n'ya.

Selene gave me a gentle smile. Her face was radiating satisfaction. She forced her hooded eyes open then we locked our gazes. "Happy new year." She said then run her fingers through my hair.

"Hm." I pulled myself from her. Damn! It felt so good.

Umayos ako ng higa patagilid sa tabi ni Selene. Gumalaw s'ya hanggang sa nakaunan na s'ya sa braso ko. She got her back on my chest. Pareho kaming nakatanaw sa labas ng malaking bintana kung saan kita ang pagsabog ng mga pailaw sa langit. The waters of the sea is reflecting the colourful fireworks.

We lay there in silence. With the days I spent with Selene, I learned to enjoy moment like this some more. I love how her warmth feels against my skin. I love how the strands of her hair slip in between my fingers. I love how her scent filled my senses. I love the sound of her giggles. I learned to love how much of a tease she can be. I love her sarcasm. I love her twisted way of thinking. I love how rude she can be. I love how she can take things lightly. I love her selfishness. Fuck me. But I think I am in love with this woman.

Two weeks. All it took was two fucking weeks for me to fall in her charms.

Pero paano ko nasabi na mahal ko na s'ya? Paano pala kung atraksyon lang ito? Malungkot lamang ako, at itong si Selene ang pumawi lahat ng lungkot at pagkasawi ko? Paano pala kung masyado lang akong nag-e-enjoy sa sex namin?

It's still too early to say that I am in love with this vixen. Nobody can fall in love within two weeks. Masyado lang akong malungkot.

"Let's wash up. The party's waiting for us." Selene broke the silence between us. Bumangon na s'ya at nauna nang pumasok sa loob ng banyo. I watched her sexy butt until she disappeared from my sight.

I lay on my back and stared at the white ceiling. I covered my eyes with an arm.

"Fuck." I uttered.

I am wiser than this. I can not fall in love with Selene. I am just a game for her. I am sure of that.

Nang marinig ko ang paglabas ni Selene ng banyo ay tumayo na ako ng kama.

A towel was wrapped around Selene's figure. She already dried her hair. She's sweetly smiling at me. "Wear something formal, 'kay?"

Kumunot ang noo ko pero nagawa ko naman na tumango sa gusto n'ya. Pumasok na ako sa banyo at mabilis na naligo.

This is my first new year that I spent far from home. Nakauwi na sila Mommy at pinapauwi na din ako sa bahay pero hindi ko magawa na iwan si Selene. I promised her to spend three months, as her sweet lovesick lover.

Maybe that's it. Masyado kong ginagalingan ang pag-arte na boyfriend n'ya. Nadadala lang ako. At tapos nitong bakasyon ko kasama s'ya, maayos na din ako. Babalik sa dati ang lahat sa akin. Babalik ako sa normal na Frigate.

Nang lumabas ako ng banyo ay nag-me-makeup si Selene sa harap ng tukador. Her dress was lying on the bed. Naayos na ni Selene ang kama na nagulo namin kanina.

I smirked at the thought that we welcomed the new year, making love. I even timed my climax at the sound of the fireworks outside. And I felt that Selene did the same.

I went behind Selene then wrapped my arms around her. I hugged her from the back then kissed her shoulder.

Selene giggled. "Bihis na ikaw. Saglit na lang ako dito then bibihis na din ako."
