SMS #1: Eros in Taboo (Book 1) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 10

~Calls~

Kaunting kuwentuhan ang ginawa namin ni Kuya Gramier ng kami na lamang ang nandoon sa hapag. He really looks exhausted like he said but he still catches up on me.

"She's okay now," nakangiting sabi ni Gramier sa akin nang tanungin ko siya tungkol kay Athena.

"Ang problema na lamang ngayon ay hanapin ang mga gumawa noon sa kaniya."
Tumango ako. Kita ko ang pagtiim ng panga nito. He really loves that girl.

"I hope to," sagot ko sa kaniya. Wala rin naman akong pwede pang sabihin lalo na at hindi ko pa rin tanggap na sila na pala ni Athena. Ayaw ko maging selfish ngunit hindi ko rin naman mapigilan. I'm sure I'm now not on his number one girl for him, si Athena na.

Napasarap ang kwentuhan namin ni Gramier. He also said sorry for shouting at me the other day. He was just frustrated. He even kissed me on my cheeks para lamang huwag akong magtampo sa kaniya. I giggled and smiled back to show him that he's forgiven. Not completely, but I am.

"Kuya," tawag ko sa kaniyang pansin habang naroon ito sa ref at kumukuha ng beer para sa kaniya. Lumingon naman ito sa akin at isinara ang ref bago ako tinungo.

Binuksan muna nito ang beer bago nagsalita.
"What is it?" tanong niya kasabay nang pag-upo sa magkabilang upuan kung saan magkaharap kami. His dimples are showing. I giggled at the thought. I have mine too!

Nag-alinlangan pa akong magtanong sa kanya ngunit sa huli ay sinabi ko na rin. There's nothing wrong with that, right? I'm just asking. Uminom ito sa kaniyang beer at kita pa rin sa kaniyang mukha na naghihintay ito sa aking sasabihin.

"Is it okay to... you know, have sex, right?"
Halos muntik na niyang maibuga ang kaniyang iniinom na beer. Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi dahil doon. He harshly looked at me, jaw clenching.

"Tell me that I'm thinking wrong, Aeliana."
May galit sa kaniyang boses na ikinataranta ko.

"N-no, Kuya. You're really wrong! I'm just asking!"

Huminga muna ito ng malalim bago napailing-iling.

"I don't think it's natural for us to have that conversation, Aeliana. You're so young to even think of that," kalmadong saad nito bago muling uminom sa kaniyang beer.

"But, usually teens engaged to that kind of topic!" I whined.

"I'm just asking so that maybe if... I'm-"
Natigil ako nang tiningnan niya ako nang matalim.

"You're going to regret it. There's still a man who wants an inexperienced woman."

"So, are you one of them? But that's not a really big issue. If they really love that woman, virginity is not-"

"Okay, it's not that really matters, Aeliana. But a woman has that responsibility to not lose it. As long as they are not sure about that man. And they always regretted it afterward. Why are we talking that now, anyway? Please, don't you fucking try that, Aeliana!"
Huminga siya muli ng malalim.

"Athena is a virgin. And it makes me proud. I don't want to touch her as long as hindi ko nasisiguradong matatali siya sa akin, Aeliana. You can still love each other without sex," seryosong saad nito.

Napanganga ako sa kaniyang sinabi. I know Kuya Gramier was born to be a one-man woman. Unlike my cousins, Kuya Zephr and Priapus. But is it even possible not to have that?

Ang pagkakaalam ko kasi ay mas mataas ang tendency ng ganoon dahil sa pagmamahalan. The intimacy and lust will double!

Napanguso ako habang nakikinig sa mga pinagsasabi ni Chandely at Orieah sa kabilang linya. Doon daw matutulog si Chan kina Eah dahil wala raw siyang kasama sa bahay nila. Chaos was busy of hunting his prey somewhere. If you know what I mean.
