Bedroom Negotiations Classic

Chapter 4

"Busy sa lovelife at busy sa school. Pero tini-text ka naman?"

"Oo, araw-araw pero miss ko na yun kausap." I said. "Sabihin mo nagtatampo na ako sa kanya."

"Sige, sasabihin ko. Naku, Ate bye na muna at yung mga anak ko nag-susuntukan na." She said and I laughed. Yung pamangkin ko kasing si Alexanna, mas maton pa yata sa Kuya nya.

"Sige, bye." I cheerfully said pero pagkababa na pagkababa nya ng phone gusto kong magbasag ng gamit sa asar. "Ang kapal ng mukha mo Montemayor! Mamaya kinikimbyular mo rin pala yung Suzette na yun eh ilang beses tayong di gumamit ng condom dahil safe ako! Tangna ka!" I threw my pillow on the floor.

Nakakadiri yung lalaking yun! I angrily murmured as I stood up. Bakit ba ako asar na asar? I asked myself. Dahil takot kang magka-STD at ang sabi ni Dustin ay si pempem lang daw ang ini-exercise nya at naniwala ka naman!

"Sinungaling talaga tong mga lalaking to!" I murmured in annoyance. "Well, hindi naman lahat. Wag lang magkamali yang mga Sandoval na yan na lokohin ang mga kapatid ko at naka-ready na ang labaha kong pangkapon sa kanila."

My phone rang again and I angrily snatched it from my bed. Lalo akong naasar noong nakita ko kung sino ang tumatawag. Hindi ko dapat sasagutin pero makapangyarihan talaga si pempem kaya napasagot tuloy ako nang wala sa oras.

"Hello." I said. My voice sounded sharp but I didn't really give a fuck. "Bakit ka napatawag?"

"Bakit masungit ka yata ngayon, gorgeous?" Pesteng to ang daming alam, mag-condom lang ang hindi!

"Busy lang ako. May date kasi ako ngayon." I answered. "I'm shaving my pubes, so bye muna!" I creatively added. Hah! Ikaw lang ba ang marunong, gago!

"Wait! Lia!"

"What?"

"Date? You have a date?"

"Why do you sound so surprised? I'm single at sayo na din mismo nanggaling that I'm gorgeous. So anong nakakapagtaka dun?"

"Paano tayo?" Gago!

"Tayo? What do you mean?" I asked. Kunyari hindi ko gets kahit gets ko naman. Anak ka ng tulya! Akala ko rin exclusive bedroom agreement ang meron tayo pero gumagarahe ka pala sa iba. I don't do multi-fucking!

"Shit, Lia. Ano ka ba!"

"Bakit, ano ba ako? Are we going to start the shit-slinging and name-calling now as if we're both brokenhearted and each other's ex?"

"That's not what I meant!"

"Dust, the sex was good, no scratch that, it was beyond best but I don't do relationships, I only do people." I said before I ended the call. "Makapag-yoga na nga lang! Bakit kasi kailangan pa ng lalaki, Lia eh isang taon mahigit naman na yoga lang ang exercise mo?" I asked myself as I prepared to take a bath. Pwede akong mag-yoga sa bahay pero may lifetime membership naman ako sa isang yoga gym kaya sayang naman kung hindi ko gagamitin.

Two hours later and I definitely felt better. I decided to take a quick shower before I drive home. I have my own locker inside the gym because I'm a Platinum member and I stashed my things inside it before I headed to the shower rooms.

"Hi, Lia!" A group of girls greeted. Ito na naman tong mga plastic.

I did not greet them back. Hindi talaga ako magaling sa pakikipagplastikan kaya dire-diretso lang ako sa glass cubicles.

"Are you invited sa fashion show event ni Tita Dulce?" One of them asked as I pushed the glass door open. "Baka hindi kasi sikat lang daw ang iniimbita dun." She said and they giggled. I turned to look at them and smiled.

"Actually, I will be modeling one of her masterpieces. After all, I am Lia Carbonel. What's your name again?" I questioned and she gasped indignantly. I arched my brow. Chura mo. 

I pretended to push the door open before I back-pedaled and gazed thoughtfully at them. "Your breasts are sagging, ipa-check nyo yan baka nag-leak yung silicone." I said before I dropped my towel and stood naked in front of them. "This is what gorgeous looks like, by the way." I said and watched smirking as they scurried out of the room.

Aminado naman akong bitch ako and my motto has always been: If you can't stand me, that's your problem. Mga bwisit.

Hindi ko na pinatuyo ang buhok ko kasi maliligo din naman ako ulit pagdating ko sa condo. My phone rang as I was inside the elevator. "Yung best friend mo, pempem, ang kulit!" I mumbled as I ignored the call. Gusto ko sanang bisitahin si Alexa pero for sure magtatanong sya at ayoko munang magkwento kasi ninanamnam ko pa mga katangahan ko sa mga nakaraang araw. Unprotected sex, Lia! Tanga!

"Good evening po, Miss Carbonel." The valet parking attendant of my building greeted and I smiled at him.

"Good evening." I greeted back before I handed him my car key. Pagdating ko sa lobby, the receptionist called my name.

"Miss Carbonel, these arrived for you." She said and I smiled. Napaaga yata ang flowers ni Lee Ann. I thought as I cradled the bouquet. "Aba himala, hindi roses." I smilingly said looking at the tulips as I rode the elevator to my floor.

I was surprised to find Dustin outside my door. "O, bakit ka nandito?" I asked as I typed-in my password on the LED panel. I better have his name removed from the list of visitors allowed to directly come up to my unit. I mumbled to myself as he pulled the door open for me.

"Saan ka galing?" He asked as soon as we're inside.

"Bakit mo tinatanong?" I asked back putting the flowers and my bag down.

"Saan ka nga galing?" He repeated calmly and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Dustin, stop. You're acting like a jealous boyfriend." I uttered as I took my shoes off.

"Let's become official, Lia." He said and my heart did a black flip. What? Ang haba ng hair? Official talaga? Pero tanga, wag ka nang papauto dyan! May Suzette na yang gagong yan!

"What do you mean by official?" I inquired. "Besides, paano naman si Suzette?" I asked and I nearly smacked my head with one of the vases when he grinned.

"Selos?" He questioned, his voice low and oh so freaking sexy. Lia! Snap out of it.

"Ako? Magseselos?" I laughed as he moved towards me and I instinctively took a step back. I felt the wall behind me and he wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Let's date." He said and I laughed again and gasped when I felt his fingers on my crotch. He held my gaze as he fondled me and I started to squirm as delicious shivers ran down my spine. I like the sensations that he's making me feel but I never liked relinquishing control. Dinadaan na lang ako ng lalaking to sa karinyo nya.  

"Date? Are you trying to court me, Dust? Nililigawan ba ako ng isang Dustin Montemayor?" I asked, my tone mocking as he undid the knot holding my cotton shorts and it pooled at my feet. He lifted me and I was forced to swathe my arms around his neck as he guided my legs to wrap around his hips. We both moaned as he entered my body in one push.

"I don't do courting, Lia Carbonel." He whispered as he started to move. "But I love doing you."
