Arrian was already in deep snooze when loud knocks on the door awakened her. Naalimpungatan siya. Kaagad na sumalakay ang takot sa kanyang dibdib dahil sino ang gagawa niyon sa ganoong oras?
“Sino ‘yan?” She asked in a loud and controlled voice, but deep inside, she was scared.
“Please open this door, Arrian. Si Brian ito,” sagot nang nasa labas.
A strange feeling suddenly flutterred in her being when she heard his voice. Nakahinga siya nang maluwag nang malamang si Brian iyon at hindi kung sinumang masasamang loob. Pero ayaw niyang pagbuksan ang binata.
Mas lalong lumakas ang tahip ng kanyang dibdib. This time, hindi dahil sa takot kundi sa matinding pananabik na makita ito. But she suppressed her feelings.
“Alam mo bang natutulog na ako? Ano bang kailangan mo?” May bahagyang angil ang boses na tanong niya sa lalaki. Nakataas pa ang isang kilay niya habang nagsasalita.
“Can we talk? Puwede ba akong pumasok?” malamyos ang boses na tugon nito.
Hindi pa man siya sumasagot ay bigla na lamang bumukas ang pinto at dire-diretso itong pumasok sa loob ng kanyang kuwarto.
“Teka, hindi pa kita pinapayagang pumasok dito. Ano ba talaga ang kailangan mo, Brian?” Napakapit siya sa kanyang dibdib nang magrambolan sa pagtibok ang puso niya. Her eyes hovered at him, and he looked damned handsome for her own good. “What do we have to talk that you have to barge in my room and pester my sleep?” she spat at him.
“Hindi ba tayo puwedeng mag-usap nang hindi nag-aangilan?” Kalmadong tanong ng binata sa kanya. Mukhang hindi ito apektado sa iritasyong ipinakita niya.
“Ano ba talaga ang tunay mong sadya? Didn’t you realize na madaling-araw na?” She panicked when he took steps closer to her, and stopped in front of her.
Instead of answering her question, Brian suddenly tauted her waist againts him, and promenaded his eyes around her face. Biglang bumundol ang kaba sa kanyang dibdib nang malanghap ang amoy-alak nitong hininga. He was drunk!
“Brian, ano ba?!” Pumiksi siya pero mas lalo lamang humigpit ang pagkakasaklit nito sa baywang niya. “Bitiwan mo nga ako! You’re drunk!”
“I’m not drunk. Nakainom lang ako ng konti, Arrian,” he whispered tenderly. Then, he chuckled. “Hindi mo ba alam na doble ang sakit na naramdaman ko kanina dahil nasaktan ka sa sinabi ko? Dahil ang totoo ay mahal kita. Mahal na mahal nang higit pa sa inaakala mo. Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimula ito pero bigla ko na lang naramdaman na higit pa sa pangangalaga ng kaligtasan mo ang nais kong gawin.” halos pabulong na sambit ng binata habang namumungay ang mga mata na nakatitig sa kanya.
Her mind was telling her to offscour Brian’s words because he was intoxicated, but her heart pushed her to embrace it. Dahil tumatagos ang bawat sinasabi nito sa kasuluk-sulukang bahagi ng kanyang pagkatao.
“Brian,” that was just all that she could say.
Nakayuko ito sa kanya at nakatingala siya rito. Gahibla na lamang ang pagitan ng mga mukha nila. Katunayan ay nararamdaman na niya sa kanyang mukha ang hininga nito. They just looked at each other for a moment. His eyes were twinkling and she could see the rush of emotions in them. And it was breathtaking!
Napapikit siya nang tuluyang lumapat ang mainit nitong mga labi sa kanyang bibig. She tried to push him away, but what she did was not enough to stop him from what he had started. He passionately claimed her lips. At hindi siya ipokrita upang hindi aminin sa sarili na gusto niya ang kakaibang sensasyong hatid ng halik nito sa kanya.
Si Brian ang nakainom sa kanilang dalawa ngunit tila siya ang mas nalasing sa halik na iginawad nito sa kanya. Napapikit siya nang mariin dahil tila umiikot ang kanyang pakiramdam. And she liked the sensations that seeped through her veins as their bodies rubbed. And the sweet taste of his lips? Ah... it was heavenly! Mayamaya pa ay naramdaman ng dalaga ang paglapat ng kanyang likod sa malapad na kama. Kasunod niyon ay dumagan sa kanyang malambot na katawan ang buong bigat nito.
“Brian…” her heart whispered his name. His kiss became more passionate... and demanding. Pero iba ang kiliting hatid niyon sa kanyang pakiramdam. Nakakalito, nakakahilo at nakakapagpawala sa lahat ng nalalabing katinuan sa kanyang utak.
Mayamaya pa ay nagsimula na ring kumilos ang kanyang mga labi, tumutugon sa halik na iginawad nito sa kanya. He stopped kissing her at napako ang mga mata nila sa isa’t-isa. She looked in his eyes. She marveled at the intensity of desire that she saw in them. And she was lost.
A wee warning lighted up on her mind. Alam niyang naipagkanulo na siya ng sariling nararamdaman para sa binata, but who cares? She liked what he was doing to her. She wanted him because she loved him. And whatever that would happen between them tonight, it was not against her will.
She already made a decision. Sa lalaking ito lamang niya gustong ibigay ang lahat-lahat sa kanya.
And when he kissed her again, she answered without any hesitations.
