Mackenzie's POV
"Fuck Prom!" Sigaw ni Oli habang naka tihaya sa living room.
Kanina pa wala si Kai dahil maaga ang call time nila. Simangot nga ako kasi gusto ko cuddles kaso need na daw niya umalis. Pero pinagluto naman niya ako ng breakfast kaya nawala ng konti galit ko.
"Ay pogi ng mga lalaki mo ha. May single ba dyan?" Tanong sakin ng make up artist na hinire ng nanay ko.
"Pili ka lang dyan," sagot ko sa kanya at tumawa naman siya.
"Naiwan ko sapatos ko, pakshet!" Sigaw ni Ady at sumalampak sa tabi ni Oli.
Mga walang silbi tong mga to.
"Hoy! Kumilos kayo! Opening si Kai! Iiwan ko kayo!" Bulyaw ko sa kanila at nakasimangot naman silang tumayo.
"Kainis kasi. Nagjowa ng kasama sa event, required tuloy tayo," Narinig kong sabi ni Ady habang nagdadabog at tinignan ko naman siya nang masama.
Matapos ang ilang oras na dasalan ay natapos na kaming mag-ayos. Kanina pa rin naghihintay yung limong pinahiram sakin ng nanay ko. Bwisit talaga.
pero sa limo lang din kasi ako magkakasya.
"Tangina. Pagkatapos ni Kai, isayaw niyo kong apat tapos isayaw mo si Claire habang busy ako, Jay. Tapos uwi na tayo. Tangina!" Iritable kong sigaw habang sumasakay sa limo.
Pagdating namin sa venue ay pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao. Di ko sure kung dahil nagagandahan sa amin o dahil nagsisigawan kami dahil kanina pa kami nag-uuntugan sa init ng ulo.
"Picture po!" Sigaw ng isang member ng photog club at padabog kaminh nagtabi-tabi.
"Lintek na yan kasi ang laki!" Sigaw sakin ni Eli.
"Puro ka reklamo bat di ka pa mamamatay!" Sigaw ko pabalik sa kanya.
"Tangina, umayos na kayo!" Sigaw sa amin ni Jay at inirapan ko muna si Eli bago humarap sa camera at ngumiti nang pilit.
"Dalian niyo, kanina pa nagsisimula," sabi ni Oli at agad naman kaming nagpunta sa assigned seats namin.
Dahil bida-bida nanay ko, siyempre nakipagpatayan siya mapunta lang kami sa unahang table. Ewan ko ba rito. Halata talagang nung high school siya nag-peak.
Puro boring announcements sa umpisa, daming speakers, tapos performance na nila Kai.
"Hala, ano yan?" Naguguluhang sabi ni Oli nang makita namin sila.
Kai's wearing a tux tapos she's escorting a girl by holding her hand. Ganon din sa ibang tao.
Puro sila babae ngayon na yung iba, naka-tux. Out of nowhere, bigla silang nag-slow dance.
Luh? Akala ko ako ang first dance.
Dahil nasa unahan kami, agad akong nakita ni Kai.
She smiled widely at may direction but I couldn't muster up the strength to smile back at her.
Nang mapansin niya, her smile turned into worry. Yung mga partner nilang babae ngayon at nagtanggal na ng mask.
Once I saw who she was, mas nadagdagan lang ang galit ko para sa ngayong araw.
Bumuntong hininga ako at nag-iwas na ng tingin kay Kai.
"Uwi na tayo?" Tanonh sa akin ni Oli at umiling lang ako sa kanya habang nakatingin sa sahig.
"This sucks," mahina akong sabi at bumuntong hininga.
I was looking forward to this day. It was our first dance eh. Sabi niya I'm gonna be her first dance. Tapos biglang naging si Faye. Kung alam ko lang sana pumayag na lang akong ma-late kami para kahit papano hindi ko alam.
Kaya ko tiniis lahat at um-oo sa lahat ng gusto ng nanay ko kasi I wanted to be with her today. Kaya ko pinapalitan ng blue yung gown ko kasi she's Kai. Her name's the ocean. The ocean is blue. Tangina. Baduy.
After what felt like forever, their dance ended. Pagkatapos non we were told na open na ang dance floow as well as the food bar.
"Kuha lang kami pagkain," sabi nila sa akin at tumango lang ako. Maya-maya pa ay tumabi sa akin si Kai at agad hinila ang upuan papalapit sa akin bago ako tignan.
"Mahal, I'm sorry," mapanuyo niyang sabi at ngumiti ako sa kanya.
"It's okay," sagot ko kahit na pakiramdam ko may nagwawala sa loob ng katawan ko. Pakiramdam ko may sigaw nang sigaw sa loob ng utak ko.
"I didn't know something like that was gonna happen. Kanina lang nila biglang iniba yung dance number. I swear," sabi niya at tumango ako.
"You don't have to explain. It's okay," sabi ko while putting my palm on her cheeks gently then she smiled at me.
"May I have this dance?" Nakangiti niya pa ring sabi at inilahad ang kamay niya sakin.
Kahit gusto kong magdabog palayo, I accepted at sumama kami sa mga taong sumasayaw sa gitna.
"Mahal super ganda mo," sabi niya ng nakangiti at ngumiti rin ako.
"Siyempre. I made this all happen just for you," sagot ko.
"Wait. I want a picture," mahina niyang sabi at inilibot ang mata.
"Picture!" Sabi niya habang tinatawag ang isang photographer. Cutiepie.
Lumapit sa amin ang photographer and I happy-thoughts my way through the picture kahit na ang sama-sama ng loob ko.
Nakakapikon kasi eh. Kung hindi ako ang 1st dance sana ni Kai on an event like this, okay lang. Kaso that should have been me!
Habang busy ako sa pagmamaktol, biglang nag-iba ang kanta. From something up beat, it's replaced by something you can slow dance to.
Kai smiled ang reached for hands as she both placed it around her shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I know it ruined your night," mahina niyang sabi and I gave in.
"Yeah," I said admitting what I felt and she nodded.
"Are you mad at me? What can I do?" Nag-aalala niyang tanong.
"I'm not mad at you, Mahal. It wasn't your fault. It's nobody's fault. Things just didn't go according to plan. I need to stop being upset about it," sabi ko and she shook her head.
"It's okay to be upset about it. Your feelings are valid. I'm upset. I looked forward to you being my first dance. Akala ko rin I can fake it till the dance was over but as soon as I saw that look on your face, napikon na rin ako," sagot niya and I just smiled.
"Maybe it's just the universe playing its tricks on us," sagot ko at ngumiti siya before giving me a kiss on my lips.
"You might not be my first dance, but you're a couple of my first, only, and last," sabi niya pa ulit and I hugged her tight.
"Kenzie, mahal na mahal na mahal kita. I hope I'm making you happy. I hope you feel loved by me. Even if I mess it up a lot," she confessed.
"When I was a kid, I never really had someone. My friends, sure. But not someone like you. I used to look at the sky every day. I'd ask for some protection from all this pain and madness. But nobody really came. Some did, pretending that they were, but it didn't take long to show their real colors. So I had to be my guardian angel. I didn't have a choice but to look out for myself. Then I got tired. I started to let go. There were times na I really did let go, but I was "saved", I had so little life in me. Maybe the universe saw that, that's why they finally gave me you. I like to think that I wished for you all my life. The feeling that I have when I finally got you, it's like I finally had something I've been waiting for my whole life. You are my reward, for staying here in this horrible world," sagot ko sa kanya and I saw her fighting back her tears.
"I'll be here, okay? I'm here now. You can relax. I won't ever let anything happen to you again. I won't have you suffering alone. Gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi sayo, I got you. I got your back, always. Sabi ko, just say the word, we'll get it done. I mean it. I still mean it. I'll still mean it in a million years. Just stay. Use me as you want, I'll be okay as long as you allow me to stand up with you forever, I'll be there for you through it all. Kahit gano kahirap 'yan, dito lang ako. You can never push me away," she said while tears are rolling down her face at ganon din naman sa akin.
I didn't know that love could feel this way.
"Thank you for letting me know that love didn't have to hurt me the way it did," I said crying as she swept my years and just kissed me again.
I didn't need any words. The kiss was enough. It will always be enough. She's always enough, more than enough.
Nagsayaw pa kami ni Kai hanggang ilang kanta at nang makaramdam kami ng gutom at dumiretso na kami sa food bar.
Ipinagkuha niya lang ako ng mga pagkain at ako na ang kumuha ng drinks namin saka kami bumalik sa table namin kung saan ang dami nang pinggan ang magkakapatong.
"Wag mo na pansinin, babasagin ko yan sa mukha mo," sabi ni Eli sa akin at tumawa naman ako bago umupo sa hinilang upuan ni Kai para sa akin.
"Kai, wala ka ba marereto sakin?" Tanong ni Ady.
"Si Che crush ka. Kanina pa nag-aabang sayo," sabi ni Kai at itinuro ang table ng mga kaibigan niya at nakita ko naman si Che na nakatitig kay Ady at mukha naman siyang nagitla nang bigla kaming tumingin sa kanya.
"She is cute," sabi ni Ady at tumayo.
"Laban, Pre!" Pag-cheer sa kanya ni Oli at natawa naman ako.
"Kayo?" Tanong ko at umiling naman silang dalawa habang inaangat ang platong pinagkakainan nila.
"Oks na kami dito, pabayaan mo na kami," Sabi ni Oli habang ngumunguya pa.
"Ang daming naghahanap sayo kanina, Kenzie. Gusto ka isayaw," sabi ni Eli at kumunot naman ang noo ko.
"Uwi na tayo please," pagmamakaawa ko sa kanila.
"May dance ka pa after nito, Mahal?" Tanong ko sa kanya at umiling naman siya.
"Uwi na tayo after?" Tanong ko at tumango naman siya.
"Sure. Whatever you want," sabi niya at ngumiti ako.
"Won't you dance with your friends muna?" Tanong ko at umiling siya.
"I'm still not entirely okay with them with the whole Clire incident," sagot niya at tumango na lang ako.
"Agree, kaya nagulat ako si Kenzie pa kumakausap kay Claire," sagot ni Oli.
"Jay wanted her back. Hayaan niyo na," sagot ko sa kanila at hindi naman nila ako pinansin at patuloy lang na pinag-usapan kung anong mali sa ginawa ni Claire.
"Kenzie, kung pwede ka raw isayaw ni Nathan?" Tanong ng isang lalaki sa likod ko. I faced them and smiled bago iangat ang dalawang kamay namin ni Kai na magkahawak.
"I don't think so," sarkastikong sabi ko at nahihiya naman silang naglakad palayo.
"Yeah, I need to get you outta here," sabi ni Kai while kissing my palm.
"Tara, sayaw na tayo konting clout chase lang tapos sibat na," sabi ni Oli habang tumatayo.
"Teka lang naman! Di pa ko tapos kumain!" Sigaw ko habang sinusubuan pa ako ni Kai ng cordon bleu.
"Taragis na yan! Magbaon ka na lang!" Sabi niya at hinila na kaming dalawa ni Kai sa dance floor.
Sinenyasan niya rin si Jay at Ady kaya naman sumunod din sila amin.
I haven't interacted with a bunch of people since we got here. Pero maya-maya ay dumadami na ang pasimpleng nag-aabot ng alak.
"Ang saya talaga dito. Walang madamot sa alak," masayang sabi ni Oli habang ginigilingan si Eli.
"Mas masaya ako sayo, Pre. Igiling mo pa," sabi sa kanya ni Eli at hinawakan pa ang balakang nito kaya naman napatawa ako.
"My parents are coming here again for Christmas. Meron ba kayong plans ni Kentaro?" Tanong sa akin ni Kai while dancing with me.
"We haven't talked about it," I answered then sipped my cup.
Bago ko pa malunok ang nasa bibig ko ay hinalikan na ako ni Kai making the liquor spill both on our face but it didn't stop her.
Dinilaan niya lang yung tumapon na alak around my lips and on my chest and neck and I moaned.
As if people will hear us. We literally need to scream to hear each other sa lakas ng music.
"Yum," bulong sa akin ni Kai while pulling me closer.
"I wanna go home. I want you to take this off," sabi ko sa kanya at nginitian naman niya ako.
"I want to strip you off right now," sagot naman niya and I smiled.
I grabbed her hand and guided our way out of the crowd. This venue is actually mine so I have access to all of the rooms.
"Where are we going?" Tanong ni Kai but I didn't answer.
Just like her, I had my own elevator here. Hindi pa sumasara ang elevator we were akready making out. I'm pretty sure a lot of people saw, but who the fuck cares?
I started to undess at pinigilan naman ako ni Kai.
"Trust me," sabi ko while kissing her and she did.
Hinayaan niya akong maghubad and even helped me on the process.
The doors of the elevator opened and it revealed my room here.
No questions asked, binuhat ako ni Kai mula sa elevator papunta sa kama and stared at me for a while.
"God you're so hot," bulong niya while still staring at me and I looked at her. Pleading to pleasure me.
At first, she was just kissing me, hanggang sa mawalan na ako ng damit at ang natitirang saplot ko na lang is my underwear.
She massaged my breasts as she's still kissing me which made me moan.
Humiwalay siya sakin para titigan ako ulit and I smiled.
"I can't believe your mine," sabi niya and I just nodded.
"Are you okay, Mahal? You're quiet," tanong niya at biglang nag-iba ang mood.
Tangina.
"Yes, Mahal. I just really want to cum. Right now. Hindi na ako makapag-isip," pagpapaliwanag ko sa kanya and she laughed before kissing me again.
That wasn't a lie. I was getting impatient. I just want to feel her fingers and tongue and lips, all at once.
She immediately went down on kissing my neck which made me feel wet at napaungol na naman ako.
Please.
Nang magsawa na siya sa dibdib at leeg ko ay pinasadahan niya ng halik ang tyan at inner thighs ko.
At first I thought she was going to remove my underwear and boy was I wrong.
She looked at me bago igilid ang underwear na suot ko and without any warning, she put 2 fingers inside of me which made me close my eyes shut.
She didn't stop there. She started to kiss and lick me which made me crazier I was holding on the sheets beside me tightly.
"Fuck, Kai!" Sigaw ko dahil hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko sa nararamdaman ko.
When I screamed, it was her cue to go deeper.
"Yes, Baby. Just like that," sabi ko when I felt like she was hitting the right spot.
I saw her smirk before she continued to do whatever it is that she's doing.
I started to lose my mind. My toes are curled at halos mapunit ko na rin ang bedsheet na kanina ko pa pinanggigigilan.
"Baby I'm cumming," I moaned to let her know not to stop anytime soon and she didn't.
"Cum for me," sagot niya sa akin and I did.
But she didn't stop. She just kept on going kaya ako napatili.
I tried to pull away from her but she just held me down and continued to pleasure me until I came again.
"Fuck," nanghihina kong sabi at nakangiti naman siyang tumabi sa akin at niyakap ako.
"I love you, you make me so happy," sabi niya while trying to catch my breath.
"Wait here," sabi niya pero alam ko naman na kung saan siya pupunta.
Just like what I've thought, may dala na siyang tissue at tubig pagbalik niya.
"Here," sabi niya at inabutan ako ng tubig. Pagkakuha ko ng tubig ay pinunasan naman niya ako ng pawis.
"Thank you, Mahal." Sabi ko sa kanya and she smiled.
"Basta ikaw," pambobola niya at tumawa naman ako.
"It's mine. It's one of their gifts," sabi ko nang mapansin ko siyang naglilibot ng tingin dito sa kwarto.
"Now I'm ashamed. Pinagmalaki ko pa sayo yung exclusive elevator ko when you have your own naman pala," natatawa niyang sabi and at nakitawa rin naman ako sa kanya.
"Bili ka na lang din ng sarili mong ganito," sabi ko at tumango siya.
"That could be our competition. Paramihan ng owned properties," sabi niya at tumawa ako.
"Adulting ha," sagot ko and she smiled.
"Did I make up for the mess up earlier?" Tanong niya while looking at me up and down at sa kamang gulong gulo na.
"What do you think?" Tanong ko at nagyayabang naman niya akong tinignan.
"I think I did a great job. I got you screaming my name, that's a good thing," sabi niya at tumawa naman ako.
"Ang yabang mo!" Saway ko sa kanya at bigla namang tumunog ang phone ni Kai.
"It's Oli," sabi niya bago sagutin ang tawag to put it on loud speaker.
"Nasan kayo?! Kenzie won prom queen!" Sigaw ni Oli sa kabilang linya at nagktinginan naman kami ni Kai.
"Ikaw na lang kumuha," sagot ko na lang kay Oli at alam ko namang alam na niya kung ano ibig sabihin non.
"Bwisit ka," sagot niya bago kami babaan ng tawag.
Bumalik kami ni Kai sa pagkakahiga sa kama at maya-maya pa ay may nagputukan nang fireworks sa labas ng building. I guess the party's over.
"Mahal," malambing na tawag sa akin ni Kai habang hinahalikan ang balikat ko.
"Hmm?" Tanong ko sa kanya while still watching the fireworks.
"Isa pa," bulong niya as she turned my face to kiss her.
My pleasure.
