'plagiarism is the outcome of jealousy-Calypso'
⛓️ CATORCE
"F*CK you Casten!"habol ang hininga siyang napabalikwas ng bangon dahil sa panaginip niya.F*ck,he just had a f*cking double nightmare.Napahilot siya sa sentido ng maramdaman ang pagkirot nito.
"Mi Amore,buhay ka!"kaagad niyang siniko ang kaibigan ng akma siya nitong yayakapin. Hindi nakaligtas sa mga mata niya ang pag nguso nito kaya binato niya ito ng unan.
"Ouch.You're hurting me na,I can't take this. Pagkatapos ng pagtitiis ko sayo ng ilang taon ay nagagawa mo na akong saktan ng ganito,"nagkunware pa itong naiiyak at madamdaming humawak sa sariling dibdib.He rolled his eyes.
"I'll file an annulment," may iniabot pa itong isang piraso ng papel sa kaniya at ballpen.This jerk is really ruining his morning.Nasira na nga dahil sa pangit niyang panaginip ay dumagdag pa ito.Matalim niyang tinigan ang papel na hawak nito bago nagsalita.
"Stay away from me Vergabera or I'll cut your head off," he warned him before pulling out of his mattress.Tinungo niya ang banyo saka nag hilamos.
Naalala nanaman niya ang panaginip kagabi. His dreams felt so real and it bothers the hell out him.Paano kung nananaginip parin pala siya hanggang ngayon?
He slapped his face multiple times only to feel the stinging pain on his face.This wasn't a dream anymore.F*ck.
Napagdesisyunan niyang maligo nalang at pag katapos ay kaagad na humatak ng tuwalya upang itapis sa beywang.When he went out of the bathroom,bumungad sa kanya ang gagong mukha ni Lhemdion na nanunuksong nakatingin.He eyed him before asking why.
"What the f*ck are you laughing at?"He even raised his eyebrow pero mas lalo lang itong ngumisi bago inginuso ang kusina.Nang lumingon ito ay nakita niya si Can na abala sa paghihiwa ng kung ano.
'What the heck is this man doing in my house early in this morning? Siguraduhin lang niyang aayusin niya ang kalat niya dahil kung hindi ay parte ng katawan niya ang kakalat.'
"Lata,what are you doing here? Eto naman na miss kaagad ako.I miss you too,"he joked to get his attention.Kaagad naman itong lumingon at napatigil sa ginagawa.He rewarded me a sweet smile before taking step towards me.
Xander's P. O. V.
Bigla naman akong kinabahan ngunit hindi ko iyon ipinahalata.
I tried to gather myself kahit na hindi magkumayaw sa pag tibok ang puso ko.F*ck this man,I really need to get rid of him in my life.Nawawala ako sa direksiyon dahil sa kaniya.My plans was to wrath not to fall in love for Pete's sake.
"Hey, you look..."anito sa harap ko.I froze when he stole a peck on my lips.Hindi naman nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang mapanuksong mukha ni Lhemdion na ngayon ay naka upo na sa sofa habang may hawak na popcorn na akala mo nanonood ng pelikula.Mamaya ka sa'king gago ka.
The heat started to run on my cheeks so I forced a laugh to hide it.
"Hot."dugtong nito sa sinabi niya while looking at my chest where droplets of water are cascading down from my neck na hindi ko napunasan ng maayos.
"I know right.This is all yours though,"I whispered just enough for him to hear.Ayokong iparinig kay Lhemdion ang mga pinagsasabi ko dahil paniguradong tambak nanaman ako sa pangbubwisit niya mamaya pero mukhang kasing haba yata ng antenna ang tenga ng lalaking to dahil umarte pa siyang nauubo dahil sa sinabi ko.
Si Can naman ay napangiti nalang at hinatak ako upang yakapin.Ang landi tangina.I didn't hugged him back.Ang laswa kasing tignan kung nasa ganoong posisyon kami.Nang magdikit ang katawan namin ay naramdaman ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso nito.Tila may nag-uunahang mga kabayo sa loob.
"Your heartbeat's racing love"I emphasized the word love to tease him at tama nga ako dahil mas bumilis ang tibok ng puso nito at humigpit ang yakap sakin. What in the hell is happening with this man?Bakit ang aga-aga ay nandito na siya sa kwarto ko at parang lintang nakadikit sa akin.
"This is because of you idiot,"he mumbled and it turned out so fucking cute. Cute? Where did that term f*cking came from?
"And how is that my fault hmm?" I asked, trying so hard not to stutter dahil nakakakiliti ang ginagawa nito sa leeg ko.His hot breath fans the sensitive part of my neck, sending cold chills in my system.
"You're so f*cking sexy that it makes my whole body response with your presence,"I secretly rolled my eyes.Bahagya ko siyang itinulak upang mailayo sa akin at pinagtuonan ng pansin ang mga hinihiwa niya
"Continue cooking,I'll get dress." I said.
Ngumuso pa ito at tiningnan ako na parang nagpapaawa kaya kinurot ko ang tungki ng ilong niya.Hindi ko na hinintay pa ang reaksyon ni Can at kaagad na nagtungo sa kwarto upang magbihis.When I went back to the kitchen bumungad sa akin ang seryosong mukha nito na naghihiwa ng mga gulay.Can's hand are expertly moving with the knife and as if they were one.He's impressed, because I can't do such thing as Can does.
Walang tunog ang mga yabag kong tinungo ang pwesto ni Can at yumakap sa likod nito.I was about to nuzzle on his neck when I heard someone clear his throat.
"Ehem.Ehem.Respeto naman sa mga hindi pinili." Bulong pa nito pero sapat na para marining naming dalawa ni Lhemdion.
"We don't give a f*ck about it Vergabera umalis ka nga diyan," ungot ko habang nakasiksik ang mukha sa leeg ni Can.His smell was intoxicating that I couldn't stop sniffing him.
Pinanood ko siya hanggang sa matapos siyang magluto.Tingin ko nga ay nahihirapan siyang kumilos dahil nasa likod niya ako pero hindi naman siya nagreklamo.Lihim akong napangisi sa pinaggagawa ko.
"Baby?" He asked.I hummed for an answer.
"Can you fix the table?Luto na kasi yung ulam," he tried to say it as polite as he can. Afraid that I might not like what he said. Fuck this man, he's pressuring himself with small things.
"Ofcourse love," I kissed his nape and left him shocked.Habang nag aayos ako ng mga plato ay kitang-kita ko parin ang paninigas ng katawan niya.
"YOU mean naging asawa mo si Can sa panaginip mo? I can't take this, you're fantasizing my brother that is why oh em gee!" Haileen giggled and slightly pushed his shoulder.
"I am not fantasizing him Haileen.You really think I'm gay?" He sipped from his tequila and eyed Haileen who is sheepishly grinning at him.
"Did I say that you're gay? Nah bitch,I didn't.And for you to know, being attracted with the same gender doesn't mean you're gay already,I think bi."nagtaas-baba pa ang magkabilang kilay nito at inisang lagok ang alak na hawak.
"Bisexual your ass,you wanna f*ck?"he asked using his deep and raspy voice but Haileen just laughed like it was big joke.He smirked, not offended from Haileen turning down his offer though it was the first time that someone did it.Wala din naman sa plano niya ang makipagtalik dito.He would love f*cking someone else than her.Besides,he has better plans for her.His plans on making her fall in love with him isn't going to work anyway.
Lihim siyang napangisi ng maala ang pinagplanuhan nila ni Lhemdion pagkatapos umalis ni Can sa kwarto niya.At ngayong gabi na nila iyon isasagawa,he can't wait any longer.
Kalaunan ay napangiwi si Haileen dahil sa sinabi niya,"Ew Xander, I'd rather f*ck my fiance."
"Up to you.But let me tell you a secret,"he motioned her to come closer which she obeyed hesitantly.
"That secret better make sense or I'll cut your dick if someone will saw us this close and tell my fiance,"she chuckled while holding on his nape while positioning herself on his lap.
"You're fiance's very busy fucking someone else right now."He whispered and held her waist.Pero hindi iyon para mas ilapit sa kaniya kundi upang tulungan itong tumayo.
"I know,"her voice sounds hurt pero kaagad itong tumaya at kusang umalis sa kandungan niya.
Haileen stretched her hand on him."Wanna dance Mister?"
He shook his head,"Pardon Mi princesa but I don't dance,let's grab another drink instead"
"Sure,"she shrugged at nagpatangay sa hawak niya papunta sa counter.
There he saw Lhemdion who's busy making drinks while intently looking at him.Nang makalapit ay kaagad sila nitong binati.
"Mi Amore and oh,hey there Miss ma'am." Lhemdion winked at them.He hide his disgust to his face when he did that.
"Hey, you're that guy from yesterday right? Sa beach?"tanong ni Haileen habang nakahawak sa braso niya.
"Yes Ma'am!" He saluted.
"You look good while shaking those,"tukoy ni Haileen sa hawak nito.
Lhemdion chuckled,"I look good when shaking boobs too."
"Asshole,just give us drinks."Aniya at walang paalam niyang binuhat si Haileen upang ilagay sa countertop.
"Xander!"tili nito dahil sa gulat pero hindi rin nagpumiglas.
"Hey Miss maam, don't sit up there.I might eat you,"pinaningkitan niya ng mata si Lhemdion ng marinig ang sinabi nito.Ang daming daldal, samantalang siya ay kating-kati na na isagawa ang plano nila.
"I'm engaged," Haileen raised her ringed finger that silenced Lhemdion.Nagtinginan pa sila ni Haileen and he even gave her a look like she did a good job.
"Look, that's Levi right?"pukaw niya sa atensyon nito at itinuro ang isang babae na abala sa paglilibot ng alak sa mga taong BBnagsasayawan.
"Ah no,Levi went home.May aasikasuhin daw siya."Tumango-tango siya, ofcourse he knew.
"Oh,magkaparehas kasi sila ng buhok.I thought it was her."Tumawa si Haileen at hinawi ang mga takas na hibla ng buhok nito.
"Ba't 'di nalang kaya ang Kuya ko ang hanapin mo?"tukso nito sa kanya.Lucky she didn't know that her brother was now sleeping tightly somewhere probably in his cabin because of the drug they put on his coffee earlier. Sinigurado nilang hindi ito magigising hanggang bukas para walang balakid sa mga plano nila.Kung gising si Can ay malamang sa malamang na hahanapin nito ang kapatid niya.
"Nagkita na kami kanina,he even cooked for me."Mahinang sabi niya saka lihim na ikinuyom ang kamao upang mamula ang balat niya.When he felt that the heat started to rise on his cheek ay nagkunwari siyang naubo para tignan ni Haileen ang mukha.He wants her to think that he was blushing.
"Stoopp, you're blushing you bitch!Make kwento to me na, ba't ngayon mo lang sinabi sakin na he cooked for you?Did you know that he never cooked for someone else?" Maging siya ay nagulat sa sinabi nito.Akala niya ay sanay itong ipinagluluto ang iba dahil masarap ang lasa ng mga gawa nito.
'well,lucky me pancit canton'
Yes,he consider himself lucky.Who wouldn't though?
"Here's your drink,Mi Amore" iniabot ni Lhemdion sa kanya isang maliit na shot glass.He smiled when he saw that Lhemdion didn't made his drink, it's just plain cognac.
"And this one's yours Miss maam," nakangiting kinuha ni Haileen ang shot glass at saka iyon inamoy.Sandali silang natigilan ni Lhemdion sa ginawa nito pero kaagad ding nawala ang kaba nila ng inisang lagok nito iyon.
"Juan,baby?"Haileen was whispering nothings while Lhemdion was carrying her back to her Cabin.Hindi nila pwedeng basta nalang ito dalhin sa kung saan dahil alam niyang may nakamasid kay Haileen sa lahat ng oras. Bantay sarado ito ng mga tauhan ni Concado.
Tahimik naman siyang nakasunod dito.They we're walking slowly at doon pa sila mismo dumaan kung saan maraming tao.That's the best way for them not to look weird.
"Xan,anong nangyari kay Miss Haileen?" Tanong ng isa sa mga tauhan ni Concado ng makasalubong nila ito.
He smiled before speaking,"Nalasing ho Kuya Ron eh,kaya nagpatulong nako sa lalaki dun sa bar kanina para magbuhat,"tinapik siya nito sa balikat saka tumango.
"O siya sige, I'll leave now.You take care of her."Si Lhemdion na ang sumagot at sumaludo pa ito.
"Yessir!"
Nagpatuloy sila sa paglalakad at walang imik.Naniniguradong walang makakarinig kung sakaling mag usap sila.
Nang makarating sila sa Cabin ni Haileen ay kinuha niya si Haileen mula kay Lhemdion at siya na mismo ang nagpasok rito.Umakto pa siyang nagpasalamat kay Can at nagpaalam naman ito.They have to part ways at hihintayin nalang siya nito sa lugar na pinag-usapan nila.
Nang makapasok ay kaagad niyang ibinagsak si Haileen sa kama.
"Juan it's you ba,I missed you *sniff"mahinang bulong nito pero sapat lang para marinig niya.
"I'm sorry Haileen,but I have to do this"he swallowed the lump on his throat before kissing her.
