C H A P T E R 2
Hunter Carlson
This was a tiring day.
Tinutop ko ang aking noo at bahagyang hinilot-hilot iyon. Halos ilang araw na punung-puno ang sched ko sa dami ng mga meeting. I am not complaining, though. More clients meant more money. My business would always come first. I was thinking of expansion abroad. Kung mas marami akong investor na ma-i-invite sa negosyo, mas maisasakatuparan ko ang pangarap kong iyon sa lalong mas madaling panahon.
Nang tumunog ang phone ay naputol ang aking pagmumuni-muni. Tamad kong sinagot iyon lalo pa nga't halos alas nueve na ng gabi. Kain at restroom lang ang aking naging pahinga sa maghapon. It was indeed exhausting. All that I wanted to do was sleep.
Sir, may naghahanap po sa inyo, bungad kaagad ng aking sekretarya.
Agad akong napakunot-noo.
At this hour?
"Sino raw?"
Mrs. Vanessa Romualdez daw po.
Vans? What the hell was she doing in here?
Mariin akong napapikit sabay hugot ng malalim na buntong-hininga. Kahit na wala ako sa mood makipag-usap ay mukhang wala rin naman akong pagpipilian.
She's the wife of my favorite investor. Halos kaedaran ko lang siya, pero ang napangasawa naman niya ay doble ang edad sa kanya. It was all clear to us that she married him for money. Though, she's one hell of an actress and she acted naturally around him. Like she was madly in love.
"Let her in," sabi ko sabay baba sa phone.
Saglit kong inayos ang aking coat at dumiretso nang upo. Nang magbukas ang pintuan ay agad akong nag-angat ng tingin. Agad kong nasalubong ang magandang mukha ni Vanessa.
She was no doubt a very beautiful woman. Sa unang tingin ay aakalain mo siyang modelo sa isang magazine.
Tall, slim, sexy and beautiful. She's everything I would want to ravage on my bed.
Hindi na rin kataka-takang kung bakit halos mabaliw ang matandang asawa sa kanya. Ang tipo niyang babae ay ang ipaparada mo talaga sa mga kaanak at kaibigan.
"I am so sorry for disturbing you, Hunter... I know it's a bit late..." malungkot pa niyang bungad sa may pintuan.
"No problem, Vans. Come in, please," pormal namang sabi ko sabay saglit na tumayo at itinuro ang upuan malapit sa aking table.
Kagat-labi siyang lumapit sa akin at halos mapamura ako sa ikli ng kanyang suot. Oh damn, she'd make it hard for me. I had no sex for almost two weeks. Sa totoo lang ay wala akong naiisip ngayon kundi iyon. I wanted a good and rough sex to completely relax myself.
"Anything I can do for you, Vans?" pormal na tanong ko sabay muling umupo.
"Am I at the bad timing?" Para bang naiiyak pa siya.
"No... I'm almost done here. May problema ba?" Mataman ko siyang pinagmasdan sa mukha at hindi nga nagtagal ay umiyak na siya sa aking harapan.
I almost rolled my eyes when I saw tears streaming down her face. Hindi dahil sa naaawa ako.
I hate dramas.
I didn't think I was in the position to give advice, especially, when it's not on my cards. Alam ko namang walang kinalaman sa negosyo ang ipinunta niya rito.
Tamad akong tumayo sa swivel chair at umikot sa kinauupuan niya. Panay pa rin ang pag-angat ng kanyang balikat habang humahagulgol. Hinagod ko ang kanyang likod at mas lalo pa siyang napaiyak.
Inabutan ko siya ng aking panyo at agad naman niyang tinanggap iyon.
Umikot ako sa katapat na upuan at naupo habang pinagmamasdan ang namumula niyang mukha. Well, the tears didn't look fake... but her expression does.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Every damn gentleman would ask that. I had no idea what I am getting myself into.
"He's cruel, Hunter. Gusto ko na siyang hiwalayan..." umiiyak pang aniya.
"What did he do?" Humugot ako ng isang malalim na buntong-hininga.
This would be a fvcking long night. Damn.
"Sinaktan niya ako, Hunter. Dahil lang iniisip niyang nakikipaglandian ako sa iba niyang kaibigan. I just couldn't believe it... Mahal ko siya! Paano niya naiisip na pagtataksilan ko siya?"
Sa halip na kumibo ay tumahimik na lang ako. Her reputation wasn't something I am not aware of.
"Did you tell him that?"
"I did..." tumatango pang sagot niya. "Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit parang ayaw niyang paniwalaan." Muli ay humagulgol na naman siya sa pag-iyak.
Wala ako sa sariling napakamot ng batok at pinigilang paikutin ang aking mga mata.
I am not buying this one, but she needed company. Of all people, ako pa talaga ang napili niyang pagsabihan? Seriously?
"I admit... There were some instances that I am craving for someone's company... Madalas kasi siyang lasing... at hindi na rin siya tumatagal sa kama... but I love him. I have always loved him."
Now, that's a total bullshit.
"I think you should just talk to him, Vans. Sorry, but I don't know exactly what to tell you. I am not married and I don't know how things would work between you two."
"Sorry, sorry..." naiiyak pang aniya sabay punas ng panyo sa kanyang mukha. "Wala akong maisip na ibang masabihan. His family hated me..."
"I'm sorry to hear that," kunwari ay malungkot ko pang sabi.
But there was nothing sincere with my words. Kahit pa alam kong masama ang ugali ni Don Facundo Romualdez ay alam kong ganoon din naman siya. Parehas silang naggagamitan. It was wild sex for him and it was money for her. There was no love involved.
"Am I being so melodramatic?" Mapakla pa siyang ngumiti habang nagpupunas ng luha.
Umiling ako at dumiretso nang upo.
"It was so rude of me for not asking. I'm sorry. Do you want anything to drink?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you," iiling-iling pa niyang sagot sabay mapaklang ngumiti. "Inaabala na kita sa trabaho mo. I am really sorry."
"It's okay, Vans." Nanguna na akong tumayo at mabilis na nag-iwas ng tingin sa kanyang legs na sobrang kinis.
Well, kaunting taas na lang kasi ay kita na ang itinatago niyang yaman. Or itinatago nga ba niya? Hmm...
"Thank you so much, Hunter, for listening. I really appreciate it," madamdamin pang aniya.
Tumango ako at wala naman din akong komento tungkol doon. Sa tingin ko ay wala rin naman akong naipayong maayos sa kanya.
"You know, Vans-" Hindi ko na naituloy ang aking sasabihin dahil sa mabilis na paghalik niya sa akin.
Whoa... I was actually expecting that.
It wasn't actually a surprise because I am not that dumb to know what she's really up to. She didn't want anyone to listen to her heartaches. She wanted someone to scratch her needy cvnt.
"I need you right now, Hunter... Please..." she said, begging.
"I have a high respect for your husband, Vans," nag-aalangang sabi ko pa, even though a part of me just wanted to do her.
"It will be our little secret... Touch me..." pabulong pa niyang utos sabay hawak sa aking kamay at iginiya iyon sa kanyang pagitan. Damn. "Touch me like that, Hunter..." she said almost panting while rubbing my hand on her center.
"Alright, bitch. Spread those legs wider..." I demanded.
She bit her lip as she moved closer to the table and get rid of her undies immediately.
Naughty, naughty slut.
She sat on the edge of the table as she spread her legs widely, giving me a better view of her center as she played it with her hand.
Nice pvssy.
"You want this lover boy..." she said seductively.
Tumango ako at mabilis na binuksan ang zipper ng aking pants. I am getting laid tonight. I am not even sure about this, but she's asking for it. Who am I to ignore her needs? And besides, this would be a plain business. No second meeting sex would ever happen between us.
Mabilis akong dumukot ng condom sa aking bulsa at agad na binuksan iyon. I slide it on my length and she watched me with those hawklike eyes. She starved for it, so, I am going to give it.
Fvck. I am drained.
Agad kong nilingon si Vanessa na mahimbing nang natutulog sa aking tabi. I never actually thought she was so good in bed.
Mabilis akong tumayo at nagbihis. Nilingon ko ang wall clock at hindi ako makapaniwalang mag-a-alas doce na noon.
Are you kidding me? We had sex for almost two hours. Wow. I'd never done that before.
Siya na nga yata ang pinaka-energetic na babaeng nakilala ko. Kaya pala hindi na kinakaya ni Don Facundo. I couldn't help but smile with the thought. That filthy old rich man was so lucky if he was only ten years younger.
"Vans, you need to go home," sabi ko pa matapos na makita siyang kukurap-kurap.
Agad naman siyang nag-inat inat bago magbihis. Nakaloloko siyang ngumiti sa akin as if thanking me for giving her a mind blowing release.
"You were as good as I imagined you, Hunter," nakangisi pa niyang sabi habang inaayos ang strap ng kanyang bra.
"You are a wild woman, Vans. You'll be the death of Don Facundo. I am sure about that," sabi ko pa sabay ismid.
Malakas pa siyang humalakhak at umiling-iling.
"No. That's impossible. Hirap na ngang tumayo ang kanya," she said sarcastically. Just what I expected from her. The bitch was already out in the open. "It was almost a miracle kapag tumagal siya ng five minutes."
"Are you saying na wala naman talaga kayong problema?" Nagtaas ako ng kilay at natatawa naman siyang tumango.
"You got me there, Hunter," matapat namang sagot niya. "You see... I really like you a lot. And, I needed someone to drive me crazy in bed. You just made it happen for me."
"I will never be your boy toy, Vans. This will be the end of tonight," seryoso kong sabi.
Ayokong umasa siya sa kahit na ano. She meant nothing to me, but just a one-time lay.
"I know. So, thank you for tonight, Hunter," malambing pang aniya. "But in case you want someone to blow your mind, I am always available to suck you..." matigas pa niyang sabi sabay halik sa aking pisngi.
"Good night, Vans," mabilis na pagtatapos ko pa.
"Good night, Hunter," nang-aakit pa rin niyang sabi bago maglakad palapit sa pinto with those naughty grin on her face.
I am so fvcked up.
