CHAPTER 15
“Nice lace bra you have, Maxine.” Agad na nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang narinig kong ibulong sakin ni Dylan iyon. Para bang nagising ako. I came back to my senses. Agad ko syang itinulak na naging dahilan ng pagkauntog nya sa kotse nya.
“What the hell was that for?!” Inis nyang sabi sabay hawak sa likod ng ulo nya.
“Y-you! Manyak! R-rapist!” I called him names as I covered my wet body in his car.
“What?”
“S-sinamantala mo pagtulog mo sakin! I knew it! I shouldn’t have trusTed you!” I kept on shouting.
“Hoy! Excuse me, ginusto mo rin yun! You even kissed me back! Gus-” I ran out of his car and covered his mouth bago pa nya matapos ang sasabihin nya.
“Shut up!” I shouTed.
Inalis nya ang kamay kong nakatakip sa bunganga nya. “What the fuck, you crazy woman! Bitawan mo nga ako!” Aniya.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi nya. Ano daw? Ako pa ang baliw? Crazy???
“Hoy ang kapal ng mukha mo!” Sabi ko sakanya sabay sapak. “Sinong baliw, ha?! Ako? Ako pa?!” Paulit ulit kong sabi habang paulit ulit ko syang sinasapak.
“Get off me!” He kept on shouting habang inihaharang ang kanyang kamay sa kanyang mukha.
Busy ako sa ginagawa kong pagbubugbog sakanya nang nakarinig kami ng malakas na busina.
Mang Berto! My saviour!
Pareho kaming napatingin ni Dylan.
“Oh andyan na pala, buti na lang!” I heard him say. “Manong, kunin nyo na tong baliw na to!” He then shouTed at Mang Berto.
Tinignan ko sya ng masama bago sinipa. Yep, sinipa. “Rapist!” Sabay tama ng tuhod ko sa pagkalalaki nya. Buti nga sakanya, nararapat lang yun ‘no!
Dali dali akong tumakbo papunta sa loob ng kotse at dun ko ibinuhos ang lahat ng tawa ko. He is the mighty babaerong Dylan and I just kicked his balls!
“Ma’am? Okay lang po ba kayo? Sinaktan po ba kayo ng lalaking iyon?” Bahagya akong napatigil sa pagtawa nang nagsalita si Mang Berto. He looked worried.
“Ako? Nasaktan? Manong, baka hindi nyo nakikita na sya yung namimilipit sa sakit ngayon.” Sagot ko tapos ay tumingin ako sa labas at nakitang nakahawak pa rin sya ‘doon’. Muli nanaman akong napatawa.
“Sigurado po kayo, ma’am? Hindi ko na po kailangang tumawag ng pulis?” At ngayon, kay Mang Berto naman ako natawa.
“Nakuuuuu, manong, baka nga sya pa ang tumawag ng pulis!” I joked at napailing na lamang si Mang Berto.
Oh, diba, sosyal. Di naman kami ganun kayaman pero afford naman ng parents ko ang dalawa pang sasakyan – tig-isa sila – at isang driver para kay mama. That’s how dad loves my momma. Very much pampered at alagang alaga. The kind of love girls are dreaming for – even me.
I went home late and wet. Still wet – I mean, literally wet not the other ‘wet’ thing, and what the hell, bakit naman magkakaroon ng ganong epekto si Dylan sakin? Tss. Nakita ko si mama habang paakyat ako ng kwarto. She said maligo na daw ako and magbihis para makakain na and makatulog tsaka para daw di ako magkasakit. Mommy talaga maalaga. Kahit busy sa work maalaga pa rin. Well, dad’s not home yet dahil he’s on the afternoon shift, which is 3pm-11 pm.
After eating, dumiretso na ako sa kwarto ko to go on skype with Faith and Roxy to tell them about today’s lessons and homework. After that short chit-chat with the two of them, I starTed doing my stuff. I was halfway done with the reading assignment Sir Martinez gave us when my phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from an unregistered number but I answered the call anyway.
“Hi, lacey.” I frowned when a familiar voice greeTed me with an unfamiliar name. Lacey? Ako ba yun? Ugh, some calls me Maxie, not Lacey. Sino kaya to?
"Sino to?" yea, wala ng hello hello. He sounded familiar anyway. “At wrong number ka ba? Hindi Lacey ang pangalan ko.”
"Yup, you’re Maxie and you have a lace bra. Nice.", I almost froze nung narinig ko boses nya. Hindi ko naman maikakaila ang paginit ng pisngi ko. It’s just because of the fact that he saw my lace bra and not because we kissed! Oh, we kissed!
But wait.. Where on earth did he get my number?! Is he some kind of a creep? Stalker?! Or something?!
"San mo nakuha number ko?! Stalker!” Inis kong sabi.
"I have my ways", he said cooly and I could definitely tell that he’s smirking at the moment.
"Tse! Manyak! Burahin mo nga number ko!” I demanded.
I heard him laugh on the other line. “No, baby.”
“Ugh! Can you stop?!” Iritable kong sabi dito.
“Not a chance, baby.” Tila mapangasar pa nyang sabi.
“Whatever! I’m ending this, you jerk! Wag ka nang tatawag!”
He laughed hysterically and I swear, kung malapit lang sya sakin baka nasuntok suntok ko na sya at nasabunutan pa!
“Alright, baby, you go to sleep. Maaga pa kitang susunduin.” He said as soon as he finished laughing.
Napataas naman ang kilay ko. “Anong sabi mo?”
“Good night, sweet lips.” And before I could even react with the endearment he just used, he dropped the call. Aba!
I dialed his number and after the first ring, sinagot naman nya agad.
“Yes, baby? Missed me already?” Nakakaloko nitong tanong.
“Asa! You weren’t supposed to drop the call, jerk!” Inis kong sabi sabay patay ng tawag. Hah! We’re even!
