12 hours earlier.....
"Hey, babe! I miss you" here we go again.
Why is this guy calling me babe? we're not even together, we're just having fun. I don't do that thing called in a relationship.
It sucks.
Really.
"Stop calling me babe, as if we didn't have sex yet," I said calmly while I'm still here stuck in the library.
I am just a flirt but I have good grades. I'm not like hoes in the movies who are just good in fucking things but suck in academics. I possessed the two.
"But feels like I'm in love with you now," he said and I sarcastically laughed and gave him a disbelief look.
Here we go again. Always.
"Really? are you insane? it's just sex, no feelings. We're just having fun, remember?" I reminded him and he lick his lower lip and seriously looked at me with darken-looking eyes.
"I can't forget it. I keep on thinking about you every day-
"I don't have plans to have a relationship with you or to anybody, so, you can leave," I said calmly and he sighed.
"Hey-
"You're starting to become clingy and I don't like it, I don't have time for that shits. So, you can leave" I pointed to the door and he clenched his jaw before he left.
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. What? falling in love with the one you already fucked?! Oh, come on! That's bullshit.
We've made it clear from the very start that no feelings are involved. Words from guys whom you have sex with are a scam. That guy earlier, I didn't even know his name yet his telling me that he's in love?
He lost the game we played. He got burned with a fire that we started.
Rule No.1
It's just sex, no feelings.
Rule No. 2
Only pleasure, no love
Rule No.3
Do not look them in the eye, you'll end up losing the game.
We're just playing then finally they will say that they think they're in love with me, they got clingy and messed up.
Take note of the word 'they think'
What a bullshits right?
"Hey, I saw that guy came out from here" Lauren. One of my best friends.
She's just like me but she's more mature than I am. She also have that thing called friends with benefits guys back when we were still in our sophomore years. We're already in the 5th year, I'm an Architecture student and she's in Engineering.
"He's calling me babe and he said that he thinks he's falling me, what a bullshit right?" I laugh sarcastically.
"Veronica, pang ilan na ba 'yun? baka magka aids ka niyan?" sounds like a mom.
"I always protection, I'm not stupid, Lauren" sabi ko sa kanya.
"Okay, if that's the case then pack your things! we have to catch a flight in Siargao after exams, remember?"
"Yes, but I still have to pass" I shrugged.
"Wow, you're balancing, huh?" she's being sarcastic.
After exams, agad akong umuwi ng bahay to pack my things just for a vacation. I texted my dad and he said yes kasi hindi naman siya mahirap kausap unlike my mom na ewan, hindi ko mahanap kong saan.
"Veronica, saan ka na naman pupunta?" oh, she's here. Himala kasi lagi siyang out of town to hang out with her friends.
"I'll be going to Siargao for the whole semestral break" agad na akong umalis kasi hindi naman talaga kami close ni Mommy.
Actually, I'm a daddy's girl. Close kami ni Dad because he's casual and always been there for me sa lahat ng mga pinakaimportanteng pangyayari sa buhay ko while my mom was busy hanging out with her friends and going out of town. Palagi kasi siyang wala.
Also, she cheated on my dad once that's why I'm mad at her, until now. Though they're still a married couple in papers but they don't live on the same roof anymore.
Anyways, naghihintay na 'yong mga kaibigan ko sa labas para deritso na kami sa airport because we still a flight to catch, baka maiwan kami ng eroplano.
"My family was there too, mas nauna silang mag bakasyon" Bianca said while she's driving the car.
"Well, in my case. My family was out of town and my boyfriend was there too!" Julia giggled.
"Jake del Rango? you guys really had something?" 'di naming makapaniwalang sa kanya.
"Yes, he courted me for 7 months before I said yes, duh? I'm not that easy to get" she's actually an angel in our group. I mean, siya 'yung pinakamatino sa amin.
Pero naalala ko pa talaga kung gaano niya kaayaw sa lalaking 'yon. He's in the Law School of La Salle. He's popular in school because he always wins in debates that why girls were after him but I didn't expect that Julia was actually now in a relationship with him.
He's actually a playboy. I know because the bar was like my second home and I always saw him with a lot of girls on the couch while he's obviously having fun with them. But I won't tell Julia because he's her boyfriend. Ayokong mag away kami ng kaibigan ko kasi for sure, dedepensahan niya ang boyfriend niya.
"Are you sure na ikaw lang? baka mamaya send to many 'yung I love you na text niya sa'yo" sabi ko sa kanya.
"Oo nga Julia, don't trust him that much baka mamaya magaya ka ibang babae 'yan" Bianca said.
"What's his Instagram? I will stalk him" Lauren asked her.
"Guys, chill! okay? he's not that kind of that guy" she defended him. See? I'm right.
"We're just stating possibilities. We're protecting you from being hurt, basta, give me his Instagram?" Lauren was eager to stalking him.
Walang choice si Julia kundi ibigay 'yong username ng boyfriend niya but it was a private account kaya cellphone ni Julia 'yong ginamit namin.
He's very private person, huh?
I saw pictures with him and my best friend almost on his post. It was like his account was only made for my best friend. I don't want to say anything because I don't want to meddle in their relationship. Ayoko nalang magsalita.
Ayoko nalang mag tell.
"Okay, we will not say anything" binalik namin 'yong phone niya.
Lauren's eyes meets mine and we both shrugged. Ayaw na naming magsalita. Anyways, we should be stressing ourselves for one man like duh? we should be thinking about what should we do in Siargao.
Though it's not my first to be in that place I still marami pa akong hindi na explore with that island. Gusto ko na nga tumira dun kasi ang ganda ng lugar plus may resort si Daddy dun. I will help in expanding his businesses by giving him the best designs and plans since I will be an Architect soon.
"Andito na tayo, prepare your tickets kasi hindi talaga tayo makakapasok sa first class just like last year" Bianca reminded us again about what happened last year.
"I kept in my bra" Lauren was doing same as mine.
"Sana all may boobs na pagtataguan! 'yon sa'kin deritso" Bianca laughed while looking at her chest.
"Yeah, me too" Julia did the same thing.
Umiling lang ako habang naglalakad kami papunta sa loob ng eroplano. Being in the first class was comfortable kasi ikaw lang mag isa ang uupo at wala kang katabi. I'm that type of person na ayaw nang may katabi especially when flights kasi ayoko lang.
It was a long flight, 2 hours sitting on the plane. Gabi na nung nakatarating kami sa Surigao, we still have to wait my dad's yacht dito na susundo sa'min dito sa may pantalan ng Surigao.When the yacht came ay agad na kaming sumakay on the way to the island. I'm tired, I just came from an exam, from a flight and now I need to enjoy this stay.
"Jake texted me na susunduin niya ako and he's already waiting for me in the island" Bianca said while looking at her phone.
"Excited ka girl? you can extend that excitement with him when you were alone" Bianca playfully arched her brows at Julia.
"Bianca, bago pa lang kami. I cannot do that, gosh! my virgin ears!" she covered her eyes that made us laugh.
"Virgin ears, my ass! If I know, he already licked your earlobes then-
"Stop, Geez! Veronica, that's gross!" she cut me off at mas lalo lang kaming natawa.
She's innocent in those kind of things unlike the three of us. Kahit na magkaibigan kami, hindi naman required na kailangan may experience si Julia. She's also came from a religious family kaya talagang normal lang na ganyan siya whenever we talked about kinky things.
Nang makarating kami sa island ay andun nga si Jake with his floral polo with three buttons open and white. Wearing sunglasses at night, wow, that's new.
"Girl, I'm not sure with that Jake" Lauren said while walking inside the lobby of my dad's hotel while Julia was with Jake outside.
"Oh come on, just let her. Gusto niya 'yun, we will just buy her drinks if they broke up" I said.
"Well, you're right"
"Veronica, you're earlier than I thought" there he is. My dad.
"I miss you, dad" niyakap siya kasi anim na buwan kaming hindi nagkita kasi naging busy siya dito.
"Good Evening, tito" my bestfriends greeted him.
"Good Evening, ladies! I prepared dinner for you and there's a party down there. After dinner, you can party" this is why I like him. He's a serious type of person but he's cool.
"Alright! let's go" we went to the restaurant on the side of the hotel.
Andaming hinandang pagkain si Daddy. I'm favorite kasi nga ako lang 'yong anak niyang babae, that's what he said. I have an older brother, he's working as a pilot and my younger brother was in Australia kasi dun siya nag aaral. He's on his freshmen year in college.
"Your dad is the best"
"I know" sabi ko habang kumakain kami.
"Veronica, where's Julia? kanina ko na napapansin na kulang kayo" tanong ni Daddy habang nasa counter siya.
"She's with her boyfriend, dad" tugon ko.
"Okay, that's cool" he went back talking to the waiter.
After our dinner ay agad na kaming pumunta sa executive rooms namin to change because we will be partying all night! finally, I can enjoy my stay here!
"Cheers!" binagga namin 'yung mga baso namin tapos nilagok ng deritso.
"This place never fails to surprise me! andaming gwapo!" Bianca while looking around obviously looking for her another victim.
"Yeah, more yummy than boracay," Lauren said while looking around too.
Feeling ko talaga ako nalang 'yong maiiwan dito. Tama nga ako, ako nalang naiwan dito since andun na sila sa mga prospect nila. I'm still reserving my energy, I have condom in my pocket, just in case they need it or I will need.
"Excuse me, miss? are you alone?" nagtatanong pa?
"Obviously" I pointed to the chairs.
"Can I sit here?"
"Yeah," uminom ulit ako.
"I haven't seen you, tourist ka ba?" he asked again.
This guy doesn't even know how to flirt. Not for me.
"Well, yes" tipid kong sagot.
"I wonder if we could-
"Get to know each other?" I cut him off at nagulat siya kung paano ko namalan 'yon.
"H-how did you know?" he looked tense.
"I just knew. And I'm not interested, you can go" I'm giving him a chance to get away from a flirt like me.
He immediately stand up at umalis which is good because he doesn't even know how to flirt. Uminom nalang ako for me to be more confident while talking. Alcohol helps me a lot, especially in school during reporting, public speaking, and defense.
"Miss?" another guy again?
"What?" I can't see him clearly because he was wearing a ball cap.
"Where's this place?" he showed me the address.
"This is the place," I told him.
"Okay, thank you" that's it? sa daming babae dito, ako talaga tinanong niya.
Right after he left, another guy came in and sat on the vacant chair across from me. That's why I like to travel, I met people who had a little chance of meeting them again. There were also a lot of men to explore.
If men likes to collect before select then I'll collect them instead and put them in my collection box as souvenir. Just kidding.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"I don't give my name to strangers" I smiled before drinking another shot.
"Wow, interesting but why a beautiful lady like you was alone in this crowded place?" he asked with a flirty tone of his voice.
Hmmm. I think I will need this condom in my pocket.
"Well, just to grab some drink," I said and drink another shot.
"Can I buy you a drink?" he asked while smirking obviously flirting.
"Hell yeah, you can" I was in flirtatious tone.
He gave me a hard drink obviously trying to make drunk. Akala niya siguro mahina ako pagdating sa inuman. Sorry ka, boy! nagkamali ka ng inakala!
I just drink it straight while my eyes was just playfully looking at him. It was not a serious look. More like a teasing look. Pasensiya na, malandi kasi lola niyo.
"You're so beautiful," oh my god, he's now giving in. Tinitigisan na siya sa isang tingin ko lang.
Men are so predictable. Gosh!
"I know," binaba ko 'yong baso tapos sinubo 'yong lemon while my tongue was playing the end part of the lemon glanced at him and he was swallowing a lot.
See? his eyes was darken looking at me. Oh, he's now showing his weakness.
"Do you want to take that to the next level?" he playfully arched his brows at me.
"Body shots?" I asked playfully smirking at him.
This is too basic. He's too basic. What would I expect? all guys are the same.
Later after 5 minutes, I was already making out with him here in the dark part of the bar while I was pinning him in the wall. I'm kinda bit aggressive when I'm under the influence of alcohol.
"You're amazing" he whispered in my ear before kissing me again passionately and then I pushed his face before burying it on my neck.
"Well, that's body shots for you" I pushed him bago ko siya tinalikuran.
"Hey, where are you going?"hinawakan niya ako sa braso.
"I'm done, that's body shots" kaswal kong sabi.
"How about...we would make ourselves comfortable?" oh, he's aggressive huh?
"Where? here?" I asked while looking around in the bar. Gosh, I think I'm drunk now kasi umiikot na 'yung paningin ko.
"Yes," he pinned me on the wall this time.
His kisses run down from my jaw down to my neck. Damn it, he's kissing was turning me on! damn! his hands run down on my back slightly unzipping my dress while he's kissing me but then his phone rings.
Napamura muna siya bago tiningnan ang cellphone niya.
"I have to take this call, I'll be back" agad siyang pumasok sa loob ng men's room.
I sighed out of disappointment. I was already drunk, I know that. I cannot wait, my body cannot wait so I decided to follow him in the men's room. Hindi pa ako nakapasok ay lumabas na siya while holding his phone. Though I can't see him clearly pero 'yong tindig at 'yong perfume ay pareho.
I didn't hesitate to grab the collar of his polo, pinned him in the wall then start kissing him aggressively. But then he pushed me, what the hell?
"Miss, what are-
I covered his mouth for him to stopped talking nonsense.
"Shut up and have sex with me" under the influence of alcohol, I said that before kissing him again.
I don't know what happened next that we're already in a room.
"Hey, don't do this. I don't know-
"Of course we don't know each other"
I said then pushed him on the bed and started kissing him again for him to shut up. But he wasn't kissing me back
This guy suddenly changed his mind when he was being aggressive earlier? he's playing hard to get, huh?
I didn't stop what I'm doing then finally he gave in. He kissed me back then hold my shoulders and he was now on top of me. I can't see him clearly because the room was dark.
I don't remember what happened next, I just woke up in a room naked with a guy next to me.
