CHAPTER SIX
IT feels like everything's back to normal. Hindi niya na narinig pa ang pagtatalo ng magulang. The school year is about to end and they are soon to migrate in America.
Madalang din ang naging pagkikita nila ni Clane dahil palagi itong nasa ibang bansa, gayon pa man ay hindi naman sila nagkulang sa komunikasyon.
Hindi niya rin sigurado kung in a relationship sila o baka siya lang ang nag-iisip niyon? Sa kagustuhan niyang makatulong sa magulang patungkol sa usaping negosyo, ipinipilit niya na ang sarili kay Clane.
Ayaw niya na itong pakawalan pa at baka madiskaril pa ang negosyo nila balang araw, lalo at wala talaga sa isip niya ang pagpapatakbo ng pangkabuhayan ng pamilya.
Yesha's iPhone beeped for a new message. She opened it and her lips form a wide smile when she read who's the sender.
From: Daddy Clane
I will be there tonight. Why are you asking?
They are exchanging a message and it took a minutes or hours before he respond. She learned to wait and be patient just for his short reply most of the time. Wala man lang kalambing-lambing sa text!
She typed a message with a pouty lips.
To: Daddy Clane
Because... I wanna see you. :(
Uminit ang pisngi niya sa reply! Really? Ang lakas talaga ng loob niya! He's in Europe again for a business trip. Walang oras sa kanya! Dapat may oras ito sa girlfriend nito!
Tumalon ang puso niya at halos mabitawan ang cellphone nang tumunog iyon para sa isang tawag.
Daddy Clane is calling...
She's hesitant to answer it or maybe she's not yet ready to talk to him. Damn, it's a long distance call. Sa huli, kabado na sinagot niya 'yon.
"Hey," Magiliw na sabi niya, akala mo ay hindi malakas ang pintig ng puso.
"Why do you wanna see me?" Clane's husky voice from the other line made her groan silently.
"Bakit? Ayaw mo ba akong makita?" Balik tanong niya.
"Bakit mo ako gustong makita?" Ulit nito na mas nadepina kagustuhan na malaman ang sagot niya.
She stupidly lay in bed, thinking about what's her reason why she wanted to see him? Namimiss niya ba ito? O hindi lang siya kuntento sa text at tawag lang?
"Kung ayaw mo akong makita, bahala ka! Magpupunta ako sa D' Club bukas ng gabi!"
"I will see you tomorrow night."
Hindi niya maawat ang ngiti sa labi. Napakapit siya sa dibdib dahil hindi talaga normal ang tibok ng puso niya. In love ba siya o kabado lang talaga kapag kausap si Clane kahit na hindi niya naman ito kaharap?
"Say, Promise." She muttered softly.
"I don't need to say it. I will see you."
"But, I wanna hear you say it."
She heard him groan. She could almost imagine him being impatient again.
"I promise."
Pinigilan niya ang mapatili. Kinurot pa ang pisngi para lang mapigilan ang kilig at pagdiriwang.
"See you, daddy Clane." She teased.
"Shut up and sleep."
"Ay, sungit."
"Gotta go."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
And the line was cut off. Napayakap nalang siya sa cellphone habang nangangarap ng gising.
Paano kapag kinasal na sila ni Clane? Ibig sabihin ba niyon ay may mangyayari ulit sa kanila?
Nasapo niya ang magkabilang pisngi nang uminit 'yon dahil sa naisip. Umiling-iling siya, binubura ang kahalayang na naiisip.
YESHA is in BGC again to visit Kelly in her condo. Doon na rin siya magpapasundo kay Clane para sa dinner nila.
Mula sa balcony ay tanaw nila ang matatayog na gusali sa lugar. She put her Dior sunglasses to avoid the sunlight. She even wrapped her Bottega Veneta silk scarf to her head to cover her face.
"Ang arte, ha." Kelly noticed what she did. "Ayaw mo palang maarawan, dapat do'n ka na sa loob."
Kelly is only wearing a yellow two piece bikini, laying in her own sun lounger. This crazy girl made her balcony a beach to have a tan skin for this coming summer.
"No, I stay here. I will support you with your trip, because that's what best friend's does, supporting each other."
"I'm touched." Madrama pa itong napahawak sa dibdib. "Why don't you strip your expensive dress and join me here."
"No, thanks."
"May itinatago ka?"
Kinunutan niya lang ng noo ang kaibigan, nasa lilim siya nakaupo, sa bandang pinto.
"Ano naman ang itatago ko?"
"Di ba, you have red mark from that night?"
A memory of red mark on her inner thighs and boobs popped her mind. She discovered it when she took a bath after fucking with Clane that night.
Pakiramdam niya ay namanhid ang ulo niya habang iniisip kung paano ginawa ni Clane 'yon sa kanya. Did he really kiss her private part?
"Nag fade na." She was always honest with Kelly and her best friend do the same.
"Pinapak ka ni Daddy Clane nang hindi mo man lang naramdaman. Sa susunod ha, siguraduhin mo naman na may detalye ang sex life niyo. Ayon sa chismis, hindi boring sa kama ang mga Altaraza, malamang si Clane ay hindi talaga, ikaw siguro ang boring."
Napapasinghap nalang siya sa tabas ng dila ng kaibigan. Hindi talaga marunong i-preno ang bibig!
"Anong susunod ka dyan? Hindi na mauulit 'yon, 'no!"
"Kung ayaw mong maulit 'yon, wag kang magpapahawak sa kanya. His large hand looks skilled in touching women. Napansin mo ba ang mga galit na ugat niya sa braso? Ang rahas! Kayang-kaya kang ibalandra sa kama at makipagbakbakan sayo sa ibabaw."
Pati ba naman 'yon ay napansin ng gagang 'to? Though, she noticed Clane's muscled and veiny arms, too, of course. Halatang kaya nga siyang buhatin at gawin ang sinabi ng kaibigan.
Uh, that Clane Altaraza really looks someone who could throw you in bed and fuck you all day.
"Ang dami mong napapansin, ha. May gusto ka ba kay Clane?" Mataray na tanong niya, nakaangat na ang isang kilay.
Napabangon ang kaibigan nang wala sa oras at over acting na napaawang ang labi.
"He's every women's ideal man. He's like a fictional male character that readers dreams to be real. But, you brat, even your man is hot as fuck, hindi ko sisirain ang pagkakaibigan natin para lang sa isang lalaki."
Her heart melted and her lips form a genuine smile for her best friend. Itinuring na nila na magkapatid sila. Maybe, she's just being over protective to Clane, because she don't want to lose him. She needs him.
"I'm grateful because I have a sister like you, Kelly. Sorry kung gano'n ang naisip ko."
"Naku, ha. In love ka na kaagad kay Clane?"
"Hindi naman. Ayaw ko lang siyang pakawalan. Alam mo naman ang rason ko."
"I get it." Tumango-tango ito. "For you to keep doing your dream job in the future, you need someone who could run your family business, and that's Clane Altaraza."
"Yeah. I will see him tonight, actually."
"Oh, galingan mo ha?"
"Anong galingan?" Ngumisi ito at kaagad niyang nakuha ang kapilyahan. "You, crazy girl! Hindi kami magsesex. Dinner lang."
"Remind him to use protection. I'm telling you this because I can see that you have a brighter future ahead of you. If you get pregnant, paano na ang pangarap mo? Though, we love to have babies, pero mas mainam na dapat handa na tayo sa responsbilidad kapag dumating ang araw na 'yon." Seryoso ang kaibigan habang sinasabi ang mga salitang 'yon.
Yesha nodded her head carefully, thinking about reminding Clane to use protection if ever they decided to have sex again. Pero pilit niyang iwinawaglit sa isip ang bagay na 'yon. She's still a minor, it's just that she doesn't look like one!
"Okay, I will remind him about it."
"At, wag kang masyadong agresibo, ha. Baka hindi na naman makapagtimpi sayo si daddy Clane."
"I'm not aggressive." She denied. "Siya kaya ang unang bumigay nang kumandong ako sa kanya, na-carried away lang ako."
Kelly gasped. "Wag ka nang kakandong ulit sa kanya kung ayaw mong maparusahan na naman!"
"Ano lang? Luluhod?" Tudyo niya sabay hagikhik.
Natawa rin ang kaibigan, nagsabay ang kapilyahan nila.
"Oo, luhod lang, mas gusto niya siguro 'yan, 'yung lumuluhod sa harap niya." Sabay tawa nila ulit.
A BLACK Mercedes Benz luxury van stopped in front of her. Lumabas ang isang bodyguard na naka-kulay puting polo mula sa front passenger seat para buksan ang pinto ng back seat.
Yesha hop in and her heart gone wild at the sight of Clane, sitting comfortably inside.
The interior of Mercedes sprinter van almost made her lips form an O. The combination was black and grey, sa gilid ay ang mini bar. There are tv's too.
Naupo siya sa kaharap na upuan nito bago umandar ang sinasakyan. His eyes bore in to her. Lihim siyang napalunok, hindi pa man din ito nagsasalita ay hindi na siya mapakali.
She crossed her leg without any intention to show a bit of her skin on him. She's sporting a wine red satin bodycon dress and she paired it with Manolo Blahnik black lucitan ankletie sandals.
Napaiwas siya ng tingin bigla nang bumaba ang mata nito sa cleavage niya. Okay, she admit, she chose to wear that dress because she found herself seductive wearing it. Hindi siya mukhang sixteen!
"How's school?"
She cringed at his first words. Lalo lang ipinamukha sa kanya na ang bata niya pa dahil nag-aaral pa rin siya!
"School Year will end soon. I'm free."
"Good."
"Anong oras ka dumating?"
Clane crouched his head on the side, his gaze became more intense. Napahawi siya sa buhok papunta sa likod, para siyang pinagpapawisan. Sa ginawa niya ay mas lumitaw ang ibabaw ng dibdib, dahil wala na ang mahabang buhok na nagtatakip do'n.
"Kadarating ko lang. Sayo ako dumeretso."
Kung bakit ay gusto niyang mapangiti pero napigilan niya sa bahagyang pag nguso. Sa kanya talaga dumeretso?
"You should. Kanina pa kaya ako naghihintay sayo sa condo ni Kelly." Imbes ay sagot niya, parang siya pa talaga argabyado palagi!
"I know. Should I apologize for making you wait for me?" There was a sarcasm on his voice.
Nang balingan niya ay mayabang na nakaangat ang mga kilay, naghihintay ng sagot niya, sagot niyang siya palagi ang tama.
"No need. I am mature enough to understand you and the situation." Medyo mapagmalaki na sabi niya, ipinapakita rito na talagang naiintindihan niya ito kahit inip na inip na siya kanina na mag gabi na!
"Mature enough." He mocked and nod, as if convincing himself.
"Yes, bakit parang hindi ka naniniwala?"
"Wala akong sinabi."
She narrowed her eyes at him. "Mature na ako!"
"Yeah." He nodded again, magiliw na tinitignan siya at pinapaniwala ang sarili na mature na nga talaga siya!
After a few minutes they arrived at Altaraza Hotel in Pasay.
They go straight to the penthouse. What can she say? The interior of it screams extravagant. The elegant combination of black, beige and gold inside gives her the feeling that she's really with the richest. The expensive paintings were hanging on the wall.
"Here." Clane called her attention.
Nang tignan niya kung nasaan ito, nasa balcony. The table for two is ready and set to a romantic dinner date. She expected that they would have their dinner in the hotel's restaurant. Dinner in balcony with a man like him is quite unique. No fancy restaurant, just her and him, alone together.
She walked towards him and was amazed with the pool area view and the Manila bay. Ang mumunting ilaw sa malayo ay tila mga bituin sa langit na nakikipagpaligsahan na huwag talunin ng dilim.
Umihip ang pang gabing hangin. Nangiti na naupo siya nang pinaghila siya ng upuan ni Clane.
"Thanks." Aniya at muling ibinalik ang mata sa tanawin. "Our hotel didn't reach the view of Manila Bay. Maganda pala kapag gabi."
Naupo si Clane at tinanaw din saglit ang Manila Bay na para bang sanay na itong makita iyon. Oo nga naman at mukhang dito ito naglalagi.
"Because Villamor Hotel is located in Quezon City. The other branch were in the North and South."
"Yeah."
Most of their hotel is in the province near the beach. The main branch is in Quezon City. Altaraza doesn't have one in QC, only in Makati and Pasay. Their main hotel is located in Visayas, they call the place as Villa Altaraza. Nalaman niya rin na nandoon ang mansyon ng mga ito.
Hindi naman masyado halata na nagbabad siya sa google para lang malaman ang lahat tungkol sa mapapang-asawa niya sa hinaharap.
Clane poured her glass of juice while his was wine.
"I like wine too. It's a perfect much for dinner."
"I know, but, juice is much better for you."
"A bakit? Sanay naman ako uminom ng wine."
Tinignan lang siya nito, inaaral kung ganito ba talaga siya na palaging ipinipilit ang gusto.
"Kapag nagpakasal na tayo, hindi pwedeng ganito. If I like wine, let me."
"Okay, but for now, listen to me because I know what's best for us."
Tumahimik siya at nag-umpisa na silang kumain. Pero may mga bagay na bumabagabag sa kanya at dapat mailatag niya 'yon kay Clane.
Maarte siyang nagpunas ng bibig gamit ang puting tela na nasa kandungan kanina. She drink her juice and she felt unsatisfied. She badly wants wine!
"I have a few question. Okay lang naman siguro?" She asked after a few moment.
Tapos na rin itong kumain. Nang magpunas ng bibig ay nakita niya ang pamumutok ng muscle nito sa braso sa manggas. Sporting a dark blue Armani short sleeve, he rocked it effortlessly.
"Why do you always have to be obvious when ogling at me?" Clane said, there's a bit of dismay in his voice.
"Kapag ba sumusulyap ka sa cleavage at legs ko, pinupuna ba kita?" Umirap siya. Hindi papatalo!
"Why do you always wear that kind of clothes?" Iritado na pinasadahan nito ang dibdib niya, kung hindi lang natatakpan ang legs niya ay siguradong aabutin din ng iritadong tingin nito. "Are you trying to seduce me again?"
"No, of course not!" Mabilis na sagot niya at napatuwid pa lalo sa pagkakaupo.
She absentmindedly pour another glass with wine and sipped on it. Sinusubukan niya ba talaga itong akitin pero itinatanggi lang ng pride niya? At bakit niya naman ito aakitin kung sakali? Ganito naman talaga siya manamit. Ito lang ang hindi sanay!
"This is the way I dress. Don't be too conservative. Paano nalang kung modelo na ako? I will be wearing a different kind of lingeries and swimsuits. You should get used to it."
"You really like it, huh? To be a lingerie model?" Parang mapait ang dating sa kanya ng boses nito.
"Why not?" Tumayo siya para ipakita rito ang figure niya. Bahagya pang umikot. "Hindi ba ako papasa?"
Naabutan niya itong supladong umirap sa ginawa niya. Sumimsim sa wine, parang nag-iisip.
"Kapag mag asawa na tayo, pwede pa akong mag model, di ba?" Medyo alangan na ang boses niya. Itinukod ang dalawang kamay sa lamesa, hindi alintana na lumilitaw na ang dibdib.
Kinakabahan siya sa magiging sagot nito. Paano kung hindi siya payagan?!
Dumiin at bumigat ang lapat ng tingin nito sa kanya pababa sa leeg. She tilted her head back a bit, giving him a full view of her neck and chest.
"N-No." He swallowed hard. "I don't want to share my wife's body to everyone's eyes. You and your body should be mine and should be in my eyes only." His voice was hoarsely.
"But, I want to continue modeling even if I'm already married. We will not broadcast our wedding."
"You want our wedding to be secret? Just for your career?" Kritikal na ang tono nito, bahagya na ang pag galaw ng panga.
"Yes." She bit her lip when she saw his face darkened, obviously he didn't like her idea!
Napainom ulit siya sa wine, pinapahupa ang buhul-buhol na pintig ng puso. She even brushed her hair using her fingers, she's worried.
"Pumayag ka na..." Sa huli, lumambot siya at gusto na itong lapitan para lambingin.
"You want to keep me a secret." His tone is more critical now. "What else do you want, huh? What's else is your plan?"
Sa gilid ng lamesa siya naupo, halos malapit na rito, abot kamay niya na. Nakaharap sa tanawin, humalukikip siya. Beside her was him, she's giving him her side view.
"That's all. Just let me do my thing. That's my dream. I don't let my marriage life ruin it or stop me from doing what's my heart desire."
"You want me to support you with that?"
Mabait siyang tumango. Nang magbaba siya ng tingin dito ay kaagad nagtama ang mga mata nila. Sa kaunting liwanag ay naaninag niya ang pamumungay ng mga mata nito.
"We should support each other. Gano'n ang mag-asawa."
"Kasama sa pagsuporta ko sayo ang paglilihim mo sa kasal natin? Sa'kin bilang asawa mo?"
Her stomach is fluttering. Hearing him addressing her as his wife, made her body react violently even her heart.
Tuluyan niya na itong hinarap para makapag-usap sila ng masinsinan. Nasagi ng binti niya ang binti nito, it made her lose her balance, but he was quick to held her in the waist.
Yesha force a smile when she felt the tingling sensation when his warm palm touches her. Napahawak siya sa balikat nito, matigas iyon.
Nagkatinginan sila. Their face is just an inches away. His lips is a bit parted, staring drunkly at her. Wala sa sarili na nakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi, hindi kinakaya ang nakakapasong titig nito.
His eyes went down to her lips and she heard him muttered a curse.
"Fuck..." he whispered it, almost losing his breath same as losing his patient.
She move her face a little more closer. The strong urge of tasting his lips was too strong that she could not handle herself.
"Don't..." he warned, making her paused.
"I..." Napalunok siya, kinakain ng matinding kyoryosidad. Ang bahagyang pagpisil nito sa magkabilang bewang niya ay tila senyales na pinipigilan lang din nito ang sarili. "I wanna... kiss you."
"You might regret it."
Clane moved his face closer and brush her cheek sensually using the tip of his nose. Napaangat ang leeg niya, nagugustuhan ang simpleng galaw ngunit nakakaliyong sensasyon.
"I didn't regret fucking with you that night." She whispered very softly, ni hindi niya na mawari kung saan nanggaling ang tono niyang iyon.
"You want me to fuck you again?" Ang mapanganib na boses nito ay nahalinhinan ng tila paghihirap.
"Yes, Daddy Clane... fuck me." She whispered it with an innocent tone.
Her cheeks were burning together with her body, especially that he started to caress her waist up to the side of her boobs.
"I want it too, baby. I wanna fuck you so hard until you beg for me to stop. I wanna fuck you so hard to the point that it'll be hard for you to forget it. Gusto kong hanap-hanapin mo ako." Pabulong na sabi nito sa ilalim ng kanyang tenga.
Ang bawat himaymay ng katawan niya ay unti-unti ng kinakain ng apoy kasama ang natitirang katinuan.
"Fuck me... again." Namamaos na sambit niya.
Clane suddenly stopped from kissing her neck. He tilted his head to have a full view of her face, napalunok siya at napapikit nalang nang angkinin nito ang labi niya.
Ang huli niyang narinig ay ang kalansingan ng mga nabasag na bagay,
bago tuluyang nagpadala sa bawat sabik na halik at mainit na haplos sa kanyang katawan.
"Ummm." A sweet moan escaped her lips when a cold wind embrace her naked body. "You're too fast." She chuckled as she watched Clane removing her underwear while she's laying above the table.
"Hold on, baby." He smirked before she felt him kissing her boobs while his fingers were teasing her inner thighs.
