That One Night

TON IV

My body covered only by the blanket as I grab the clothes.

"Tangina talaga!" I cursed for the nth time. 

I'm busy dressing myself up when I accidentally hit a bag causing for it to fall down. "Malas naman talaga oh." Agad kong pinulot ang mga nagkalat na gamit, I even saw an identification card.  "Spring Evon Lacsina..."

I quickly grab my own things and I'm even surprised to see my car keys on the side table.

Then I heard a clicking sound of a doorknob. I panicked and rushed my way out.

-

The ringing of my phone added up to the headache / hangover I'm feeling as of the moment but I had no choice but to answer it. "Hello?!" I grumpily answered but no one speak from the other line.

"Hello?! Next time na tatawag ka siguraduhin mo na may sasabahin ka ha! Argh!" I was about to end the call when I heard a small laugh followed by a click of the tongue.

"Next time Miss, siguraduhin mo na cellphone mo yung nadampot mo..." Then the call was ended.

I then examined the phone after what the caller told me. "Ah shit!" I said with my palms on my face. "Ang tanga tanga naman Autumn!! Ngayon tuloy may rason pa para makita ko ulit kung sino man iyong lalaki na iyon! Argh bwisit talaga!!"

I had no choice but to go back to the man's place.

-

The door automatically opened the moment I step foot infront of it. Seems the man is really waiting for my presence.

"Sana dinouble check mo muna bago ka umalis... sayang pa tuloy sa gas yung pagbalik mo dito." The man said.

I casually gave the phone to the man. "Bilis! Akin na yung akin." The man just smirks.

"What?! Ayan na yung cellphone mo! Now, give me mine!" But still the man remained with his smirking face. "Alam mo—Bwisit ka!" I was about to go when the man held my arms para matigilan ako.

Our faces were now just inches apart, isang maling galaw puwedeng magtama ang aming mga labi. I could not move— "Maybe..." His minty fresh breath occupied my wholebeing causing me to close my eyes.

"...Maybe, you should change first your clothes, may sumisilip na hindi naman dapat sumisilip." He said before turning his back on me. Nakakahiya, baka assuming iyong tao na iyon, baka kung ano isipin dahil sa pagpikit ko.

"Your clothes are hanged inside the bathroom...malinis at tuyo na iyon." He said before finally leaving me standing—dumbfounded.

"What did just happened?! Did he just put me under his spell??" Overacting but yeah I felt like I've fallen into that spell.

I already changed my clothes at wala na akong balak pa na kausapin ang lalaki pero bago pa man ako tuluyang makaalis ng sala ay nakaharang na ito sa may pintuan.

My eyes automatically rolled, followed by an irritated sigh.

"Ano na naman ba?" I plainly asked.

With hands on his pockets habang nakasandal sa may gilid ng pintuan. "Wouldn't you ask?"

"Wala naman akong gustong malaman pa at isa pa—"

"Okay." He plainly agreed and handed my phone.

I made my way out for the second time around and I hope, I hope this will be the last time I'll step feet on this building.

-

Driving my way home, a call once again interrupted me. I briskly answered it without even looking who the caller is.

Thinking that maybe it's my boss slash bestfriend, I answered with "Ikalma mo sis, aabot ako before our meeting."

But I heard no response.

I am about to end the call, thinking na baka napindot niya lang, when— "Bet you did not look on who the caller is... so, let me introduce myself,  I am Spring Evon Lacsina...it's nice to meet you Miss Autumn Felize Jaron." The he chuckled, hindi yung nakakairita. A manly chuckle.

"What the hell?!"

He finished chuckling first then "Well, I am sure this is not the last time that we will meet...so, see you again Miss." Then the line was ended.

I was left hanging and dumbfounded for a moment before everything sinks in to her.

"Shit! No!!" I hurriedly park on the side and checked my phone, specifically aunt flow. "Putangina..." Oh no, I am fertile according to aunt flow.

I hastily entered a text message to Spring "Fuck you, Spring! I am fertile, panagutan mo ako!" I knew something happened between us, hindi ko lang maalala if I am the one who initiated it pero sa itsura naman ni Spring--hmm mukhang antipatiko.

Then I've remembered, what if he got me pregnant--I'm alone though alam ko naman na kaya kong buhayin ang bata but-- "Why am I even thinking about that man!"
