Addicted Damien (Sartori #1)

Chapter 29

Avoided

Binaba ko ang hood na tumatakip sa aking ulo mula sa suot na kulay itim na hoodie nang tuluyan na akong nakalayo mula sa building ng condominium ni Damien. Malayo sa mga mata ng mga associates niyang nagbabantay lamang sa paligid, umaaligid, nakasuot ng normal na damit, civilian clothes, 'yong simple na talagang pagkakamalan silang inosenteng tao.

Disguised, but not the exaggerated disguising of their appearance. They were males, and they disguised themselves as male also. They're not wearing their black clothes or uniform of a bodyguard or something.

Now that I got away from their watch. I just needed to contact someone.

Escaping? No, I was not. After this, I would go back to his condominium. I just wanted to be alone, until I had thought of an idea and finally found my way out.

Bakit ko ginagawa ito? I was avoiding him. Ayaw ko ring basta-bastang mahulog ulit sa mga salita niya kahit na alam ko sa sarili kong naniniwala ako sa kanya.

Gusto kong mapag-isa kahit na tatlo o apat na oras lamang. Hindi kasi talaga ako nilubayan ni Damien simula noong nakaraang gabi na sinabi ko sa kanya ang desisyon ko. Noong gabing iyon ay pinagsiksikan niya talaga ang kanyang maskulado at matigas na katawan sa kama ko kahit na pumwesto ako at humiga sa gitna upang hindi siya mabigyan ng espasyong mahihigaan.

Sa huli ay naawa ako nang siya ay nakatulog na lamang sa tabi ko, hindi komportable sa posisyon sa kama dahil sa kakulangan ng espasyo kumpara sa malaki niyang katawan, parang ilang pulgada na lamang at kung gagalaw siya ay talagang mahuhulog siya sa malamig na sahig.

That night, I adjusted our position on my bed without waking him up. Actually, the bed was large, immensely large, and I let his sleeping large form comfortably lay beside me after I set ourselves with even and equal space of the bed. My conscience did not let me sleep. Luckily, I woke up first in the morning before he did, and I immediately got myself off the bed, really avoiding him.

I could not forget how he let Barbara straddle on his strong legs that night. The way she moaned makes me wish and hope that it was me on his lap, and not her. And I detested myself for thinking the wanton side of me.

Until this moment came, I had initiated my escape. Just for the mean time avoidance and prevention, all I needed was time and space to be alone and think slowly. I would not hurry myself.

However, this matter needed an immediate attention and action, because I knew that it would possibly bring us unavoidable and ineluctable doom. It was one out of many ramifications of the foolish decisions, I should decide what choice had more advantages. Making impulsive decisions could ruin everything and it would be irreparable.

Another minute had passed and I was still wandering down the busy sidewalk of the street, in Los Angeles. People that were catching up bus, couples with babies strolling, and all. I almost bumped into someone when I got startled from the feeling of the phone's vibration inside the kangaroo pocket of the black hoodie that I was wearing.

Fishing the phone out of the hoodie's kangaroo pocket, I checked the phone screen and found that an unknown phone number, not on the list of contacts caller was calling Damien's phone.

'Wag naman sanang nalaman niya na umalis ako ng condominium, thirty minutes pa lang ang nakalipas, dala ko pa ang phone niya at ilang dollars din na nahanap ko sa loob ng drawers ng kuwarto niya.

Did he already found me? He could track me, trace me since I got his phone.

Should I answer the incoming call?
