Trapped with the Cactus-Lover

Chapter 41

"Bargain, Sam. I want to hear it."

Ano bang naka-curious sa case ko? Goodness.

"Think of it as medical, Sam. C'mon, I'm a doctor too." Ngumiti pa ito ng matamis.

Knowing Leigh, siguradong hindi ito titigil hangga't hindi ako nagsasalita.

"Why don't you tell me about your first time too?"

Nagkibit-balikat ito. "I don't feel like surrendering it yet. So nah."

"As in?" Takang tanong ko. I'm counting her exes in my mind. "You've got five boyfriends. Walang naka-homebase?"

Tumawa ito. "You're sounding like Grant and Aria, Sammie. To satisfy your curiosity, No. Wala pa kasi akong nararamdaman that I'm into doing it. Alam mo yung pag nakita mo yung tao tapos may sexual tension? I haven't felt that yet. But unlike you, I'm turned on too. But not quite enough to make me do it."

Napailing naman ako. Okay, Maybe I'm being too nosy.

"So tell me about yours. Think of it as clinical. I could use it in my profession."

"You're a model, Leigh."

She winks while smiling. "I'm a psychiatrist too."

"Fine. Ours is way too magical."

Umangat ang kilay nito matapos tingnan yung mga lovebites at pasa ko.

"You're into having it rough?"

Napabuntong-hininga naman ako. Ang usisera talaga nito.

"I liked it because it's Terry. On my mind, I prefer it to be gentle and fine. But Terry had my full submission. It's as if my body is telling her that I want it that way. Don't ask me anything kasi nagkatrangkaso ako after. I don't know the after effect could get worst as that."

"Okay. " Plain na sabi nito at saka tumayo. "Tara na."

"Saan tayo pupunta?" Takang tanong ko na napatayo na din.

"Sa sinisinta mo, ayaw mo?"

Mabilis naman akong napatayo.

Shit, Terry. Pagkarinig ko pa lang na ikaw napasunod ako agad. This is wrong.

"Stop thinking, Sam. Stop weighing things."

"Fine!"

"Akala ko ba kina Terry tayo pupunta?" Takang tanong ko nang huminto kami sa tapat ng bakeshop.

Bumaba naman ng sasakyan nito si Leigh. Maging ako ay napasunod.

Pumasok ito sa loob ng bakeshop. I just followed her.

The place was okay. But too small. Hindi sya parang cafe na pwede kang magstay ng matagal sa loob. Dalawa lang kasi yung table doon. I think para lang talaga sya sa pag take out ng order. May pastries na din kasi na nakadisplay.

Nagulat ako nang lumabas sa pantry niyon si Tita Olive, yung Mama ni Terry.

"Sam, ikaw pala. Akala ko kung sino." Sabi nito na halatang nagulat din.

Mabilis naman akong lumapit dito at nagmano. Just like how Terry is doing. Sign of respect daw.

"Good afternoon po."

"Kaawaan ka ng diyos anak." Sabi naman nito na napatingin sa kasama kong si Leigh.

"Si Leigh po, kaibigan ko."

Yumukod naman ng bahagya si Leigh as a sign of respect.

"Hello po." Bati ni Leigh dito. "Kaya po kami nandito ay para po hingin ni Sammie yung kamay ni Terry. Saka po para maischedule namin yung pamamanhikan nya. "
