A/N: Don't hate me on this Chapter <3
🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
Nakita kong nag-aantay si Samantha sa tapat ng kotse ko. Mabilis ang mga paghakbang ko and I don't care about the people passing by as long as makarating ako agad sa sasakyan ko.
"What happened there between you and Eira? Why are you such in a hurry?" Nakakunot na noo na tanong ni Samantha towards me.
I hurriedly opened the door at napansin naman ni Samantha iyon kaya binuksan na rin niya ang passenger seat.
I buckled my seatbelt and started the engine.
Nakatulala lang ako at hindi alam ang aking gagawin. I didn't even step on the pedal yet for us to go. Naiiyak na naman ako and nahihiya na akong ipakita kay Samantha ang nararamdaman ko for Eira.
Samantha caressed my hair and the next thing I know, I felt her lips on my cheeks. I know she feels sorry for me.
I started crying. Hindi ko mapigilan, nakakahiya.
"You still love her.." I heard her whisper beneath my ears.
"It's so hard, Sam. Even if I wanted to let go of her, I feel weak. Most especially whenever I'm near her. Ayokong masayang lahat ng efforts ko para makalimutan siya. I just want to get rid of my thoughts about her." Tumingala ako para pigilan ang nagbabadyang luha na pumatak.
"That's me towards you, Athena. I'm crazy for you but you're in love with someone else.. and it sucks. Nasa harapan na natin pero hindi pa tayo umiiwas. We are really friends." She bitterly chuckled. Umayos siya ng pag-upo at napatingin sa window shield ng sasakyan.
"Shit.." I heard her mumble. "Athena, let's switch position. I'm gonna drive."
I just looked at her and hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya. What's even happening with her?
"Now, Athena! Don't be stubborn!"
And with that, we quickly changed our position sa loob ng car. Samantha is skinny kaya mabilis lang siya nakaupo sa driver's seat.
"What are you doing, Sam?" I questioned her. Isa pa 'to, ang gulo gulo rin.
"I'm gonna drive. And we will not drive to your house, Athena. Just trust me." Samantha began driving.
I saw on the window the image of Eira running towards my car habang umaandar palayo from the Parking lot.
Eira stopped running and she hurriedly went to her car and opened the driver's seat.
Kaya pala nakipagpalit sa akin si Sam. Gusto siguro akong makausap ni Eira and Samantha is protecting me from her.
"Where are we going?" I hesitatingly asked her. I want to go home because we still have classes tomorrow.
"Somewhere she's can't go and not welcomed." Samantha responded back while her eyes are focused on the road.
I checked the back and I can't see Eira's car. Maybe she stopped following us. Now, I feel bad for her.
After few minutes, napansin ko na nandito kami sa bahay ni Samantha. Nalaman ko dahil nagpunta na ako dito before and met her cousin, Helena , ex girlfriend of Eira.
"What? Are you just gonna stare at my house?" Sam hesitantly asked me. Nakatitig lang kasi ako sa mansion nila. I am contemplating if I'm going out or not.
Unang una, wala akong dalang damit. Pangalawa, her cousin might be there. Hindi maganda ang nangyari sa amin ni Helena the last time and I had bad encounter with her.
"Sam, I think this is not a good idea. I can drive home by myself-" Naputol ang sasabihin ko nang biglang umimik si Sam.
"Are you even thinking, Athena? Eira was chasing us!" She slapped the stirring wheel because of her frustrations. "She knows your goddamn address at masusundan ka niya doon." Tumingala si Sam at nagpipigil ng galit.
"And did you think na hindi niya rin tayo masusundan dito? Sam, she knows your address too because of Helena. Far out!" I started to shout at her but I did not mean it. I regretted it because I know she is just helping me.
"She is not welcome here. Until now, Helena is still holding grudges against her and Eira knows once she stepped in our property, all hell loose breaks, world war will fucking happen." Medyo tumamlay ang pagkakasabi niya.
Sabagay, tama siya. Eira does not have the right to come here. Alam niyang galit ang magpinsan sa kanya.
Sumunod na lang ako kay Samantha. After we had our dinner, sabay kaming umakyat sa stairs leading to her room.
Nagitla ako bigla dahil yung taong iniiwasan ko, nakasalubong namin dahil pababa ito ng hagdanan.
"What the actual fuck?!" Helena raised her eyebrows on me.
"Helena, stop.. please. I forced her to come with me." Samantha blatantly scold her cousin.
"Are you nuts, Samantha? Martyr ka ba? Ilang beses ka nang umaasa at nasasaktan sa lecheng babaeng ito." Helena smirked at Samantha. The last thing I want for tonight is to cause a fight.
"I can leave your place, Sam. I can manage-" Muling naputol ang sasabihin ko ng magsalita ulit si Samantha.
"Don't go, Athena. This my property." She suddenly looked at Helena who obviously shows disgusts on me. "You, Helena. I know you love me, but don't mind me. I already accepted my fate. She is going to sleep in my room whether you like it or not." Samantha grabbed my hand paakyat at papasok ng kanyang room.
May sinabi pa si Helena ngunit hindi ko na naintindihan iyon.
Samantha's room is so girly, nice, and neat. Pink and rainbow are everywhere! I've been to her house but I didn't get the chance to check her room. I don't usually enter my friend's room unless they told me to do so. I respect their personal space but they are always welcome to my room. Madalas si Samantha nag-o-overnight sa bahay ko.
I didn't know that Samantha is into Unicorns. Masyado akong nag rely sa white colors para mukhang malinis ang room ko but look at her, colors are not barrier for cleanliness.
"Hey! Athena!" Tinapik niya ako dahil manghang mangha ako sa room niya.
"Ang ganda ng room mo. Walang sinabi yung kwarto ko." Bigla tuloy ako nakaramdam ng hiya.
Nilapitan niya ako at hinawi ang buhok ko sa likod ng aking tenga.
"Mas maganda ka." She then bites her lower lip while staring at me.
Sanay na ako sa paganyan ni Samantha. As mentioned before, madalas kaming magkasama at madalas na siyang nag s-sleep over sa bahay but nothing happened between us.
"Baliw ka talaga." Tinapik ko ang noo niya at inirapan lang niya ako.
Nauna siyang maligo. Afterwards, she gave me her white shirt, and unused panty.
"Uhm.. Sam. Maybe you have shorts?" Sanay naman akong matulog na naka undies but I feel like it's not right to wear this tonight. I don't know, feeling ko lang. Madalas kasi akong nag sh-shorts right after London sa mga over nights or sleep overs namin kapag siya ang katabi ko. Alam mo na, para pigil tukso sa kanya dahil alam kong may gusto siya sa akin.
"Come on, Athena! It's not like I'm going to finger you. If you're going to permit me, then I want you naked right here and then, duh!" She rolled her eyes on me at nagsuot lang siya of her usual tank top and panty. Sanay na sanay na ako na halos bakat ang nipples niya. Laging ganoon ang sinusuot niya sa bawat sleep-overs namin since Day 1. Kahit hiwalay na kami ni Eira, it just doesn't seem right to fuck another person because it would be unfair for the other because I'm still in love with Eira.
Don't get me wrong, Samantha is a real deal. The one and only Samantha Paraiso who is freaking in love with me. Another goddess from Mount Olympus.
After I showered, sabay kaming gumawa ng night routine niya. Ginamit ko yung mga facial cream and toner niya.
Sabay kaming nahiga afterwards. She told me papahiramin niya ako ng clothes niya bukas para sa aming Saturday class.
"Athena.." I heard her whisper on my right side. Nakapikit na kasi ako, pagod ako the whole week and I did not get a chance na makapagpahinga. After the shooting in Sydney, sumabak agad ako sa trabaho.
"Yeah?" I turned to face her.
Nakapangalumbaba siya na nakatingin sa akin. She is just staring at me.
I smiled at her. I feel so secure when I'm around her. She's my ultimate best friend aside from Chinee. It sucks that I'm not in love with her.
"Let's play a game." She blurted out.
Nakapatay na ang mga ilaw at lampshade na lang ang nagbibigay liwanag sa kwarto at naisipan pa niya maglaro?
"I apologize but you look so beautiful tonight, Athena.. at least give me this chance." She didn't hesitate to tell me that.
"Say a word." She authoritatively asked me to say any word.
"Ano?!" I don't get her. I don't know what she wants to do.
"Okay, then. It's "ano"" I curiously watched her as she turned on the radio and put it on the OPM radio station. "For every "ano" that comes out on the song on this radio, I will kiss you wherever I want." She devilishly smiled at me.
"You're being ridiculous, Sam." Natawa ako sa inaasal niya. Kakaiba ang trip niya.
She just seriously stared at my response. She looks pissed off, mukhang iba ang nararamdaman niya towards me tonight. Sige pagbibigyan ko siya, pero kiss lang and it is just a game. And alam ko naman that she won't kiss me on the lips. I trust her.
"Okay, but for only one song, Sam. After this, we should sleep." I rolled my eyes on her. She did everything for me, it's time to give what she wants. Besides, it's just a game.
Nagbago ang expression ng mukha niya at nagmadaling pumatong sa puson ko. Believe me, she is just wearing a panty kaya medyo nararamdaman ko ang perlas niya.
"Sam, I didn't say you should sit on me." Itutulak ko sana siya but she held both of my arms and pushed them on top of my head.
"For one night only, Athena." She is now grinning at me.
For the love of god, guess the song that comes next...
It's Tuliro by Sponge Cola.
She smiled widely because of the song. The fate is in her hands right now.
Ano ba 'tong pinasok ko?
"I will love this night, Athena. It will be warm and sexy." She enjoyed the instrumental of the introduction of the song. She winked at me when the first stanza started.
Damn, natawa ako sa kanya because of her grin right now.
Labis akong nahuhumaling
Sabik sa bawat sandaling ika'y makapiling
Giliw, hayaang lumapit
Huwag mo sanang ipagkait, mamalas ang langit
Nag ready na siya asshe placed a soft peck on my forehead when the chorus began.
Anong nadarama, tuwing makikita kang dumarating
Tuliro, di malaman ang gagawin at
Walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin
At wala nang ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sa'yo
She then turned her gaze on me. Mukhang naging seryoso ang kanyang mukha habang nakatitig sa mga mata ko. I studied her face and she looks so angelic. She's angelic on the outside but very playful on the inside.
Bigla kaming nakarinig ng sigawan sa baba. It seems like girls are fighting downstairs but I can't barely hear what they are arguing about.
"What is that?" Biglang napakunot ang noo ko sa kanya.
But her expression did not change. She is just examining my face.
"Probably Helena and Jennifer. They are always fighting, don't mind them. Just mind us. Mind me.." Her sexy voice came out of no where. She's really into this game.
I tried to stop her again but I was defeated.
Wari, 'di ko na malimot
Mga galaw at kilos mo sa aking pagtulog
At sa panaginip, ika'y mamalagi at
'Di na muling malulumbay sa aking paggising
Anong nadarama, tuwing makikita kang dumarating
She placed a kiss on my neck. I thought she is done but that kiss took longer as expected.
Tuliro, 'di malaman ang gagawin at
Walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin
At wala nang ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sa' yo
Anong nadarama
She kissed me thoroughly on my neck. Sinunggaban niya ng halik iyon parang nanabik. Nilipat niya sa kabilang parte.
Anong nadarama, ngayon at nandirito ka sa aking tabi
She shifted her gaze and met my eyes. I know what she's about to do as I'm going to avoid her but it's too late at hindi nga ako nagkamali, she placed a soft kiss on my lips.
This is our first kiss together. She has never done this to me ever before. Hindi ako nakagalaw at hinayaan lang siyang halikan ako.
Nakarinig kami ng basag sa baba. Ano na ba nangyayari kela Helena at Jennifer?
Tuliro, di malaman ang gagawin at
"Walang sinumang makapipigil sa akin" sinabayan niya ang kanta while biting her lips.
She moved a bit but it's too late for me to realize that she is now starting to grind on me.
"Sam.." I tried stopping her but she's so strong. She just smirked at me, oh gosh! She is enjoying this and this is torturing me.
"Ssshh..." She didn't stop grinding and positioned her face in front of my face. Waiting for the lyrics to come out.
At wala nang ibang makapagbabago ng aking isip sa 'yo
Anong nadarama
She began moving her lips on my lips, slowly and passionately. Dinaramdam niya ang kanta habang hinahalikan ako. Hindi ako gumagalaw because I regret this game. I don't like this. Nasa isip ko lang si Eira. Masasaktan siya kapag nalaman niya ito.
Anong nadarama
Anong nadarama
Anong nadarama
"You son of a bitch!" Bigla akong nagulat ng mahulog si Samantha sa kama. Eira just pulled Samantha's hair out of nowhere.
Hindi namin napansin na may nakapasok dahil parehas kaming occupied sa music.
Galit na galit si Eira. It seems like she did not change her clothes because it's the same clothes that she was wearing earlier at the University.
"Sam!" Napabalikwas ako sa kama and decided to help Sam. Masyadong malakas ang pagkakabagsak ng bewang niya sa kama, nakaka awa naman siya but it's too late when Carina suddenly appeared and stopped me from helping Sam.
"What the hell are you doing?! She's hurt!" I shouted at Carina. It frustrates me dahil nakakaawa si Samantha. This is not her freaking fault in the first place.
Carina just helped Sam instead to get up but Samantha angrily pushes her away.
I looked at Eira and her face turned red. Sobrang galit na galit siya sa nasaksihan niya.
I'm so frustrated and don't even know what to do. Feeling ko nagtaksil ako kay Eira. Hindi ko na dapat hinayaan si Samantha sa gusto niyang mangyari.
"You.." Eira coldly looked at me while a tear suddenly dropped from her eyes.
This is all my fault. Nasasaktan siya dahil sa nasaksihan niya. I'm so fucking mad at myself. I just hurt the one that I love.
Tinignan ko si Samantha na umaaray pa rin dahil sa sakit ng kanyang balakang.
"Get dress. And come with me." Eira authoritatively asked me to do so.
I did not do anything nor follow her. I just stared at her. Ano 'tong palabas niya? Bigla na lang siya mang-aabala kung kailan handa na akong kalimutan siya?
"I don't want to go with you. I don't want your games, Eira. I'm fucking done with it." There I said it in her face so she can leave me alone. I have no decision yet but she is here again. Ginugulo na naman ako. Ginugulo ang nanahimik kong puso.
"You're the bitch, Eira! What are you even doing here? You're trespassing!" Unti unting tumayo si Samantha sa pagkakahulog niya. Hawak hawak niya ang balakang niya.
"You and Athena are done. Leave her alone!!!" Samantha shouted at Eira.
Hindi nagsalita si Eira and the next thing I know, she grabbed my arm. Masyadong mahigpit ang pagkakakapit niya sa akin palabas ng kwarto ni Samantha.
"I'm hurting, Eira. Stop it-" Ang sakit ng pagkakahila niya sa kamay ko.
"I'm hurting too, Athena.." Her voice is low and halatang napapaos dahil sa pagkakaiyak niya.
"Saan mo siya dadalhin?!!" Sigaw ni Samantha but Carina just blocked her.
Hinila ako pababa ni Eira at nadatnan ko ang dalawang pinsan niya na sila Brandon at Vladimir na binabantayan sa sofa sila Helena at Jennifer. Nakatingin lang ang maids nila sa nangyayari.
So this was the commotion earlier. Eira forced herself to enter this house just to get me from Samantha.
"You're not welcome in this house, Athena. Tandaan mo yan. Pagbabayaran mo ang nangyari." Helena is angrily looking at me. Hindi siya makatayo dahil hinaharang ito ng mga pinsan ni Eira.
Hindi ako makapagsalita dahil sa mabilis na pagkakahila ni Eira sa akin. Nasasaktan ako at wala akong magawa.
"Witwew!" Vladimir is smiling while staring at me on Eira's grip dahil naka panty lang ako at white shirt. Wala din akong suot na bra.
Mabilis akong hinila ni Eira palabas ng bahay nila Samantha at itinulak niya ako papasok sa passenger seat ng kanyang sasakyan.
She started the engine and began driving. Iniwan niya ang mga pinsan niya sa loob ng bahay nila Samantha.
We did not say any words at tahimik lang kaming dalawa sa sasakyan niya. Sobrang sama ng loob ko sa nangyayari. Sobrang sama ng loob ko dahil nasaktan ko si Eira. Sobrang sama ng loob ko na hindi na dapat humantong pa sa ganoong pangyayari if I just behaved.
Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa pagtulo ng luha si Eira. I felt bad but she cannot blame it on me in the first place.
"Samantha is wrong." She coldly blurted out while sobbing. Her eyes are focused on the road.
I looked at her questionably.
She bit her lower lip before saying "We are not yet done because we never broke up."
