I looked at the wall clock. Gusto kong sabunutan ang sarili ko nang mapansing 8 am na. Plano ko sanang umalis agad kaninang madaling araw nang makita ko ang litrato ng babae sa bedside table n'ya... Ayoko na nang malalim na ugnayan pa kay Eron pero nawala na ang lahat ng 'yon sa isip ko nang hilahin ako ni Eron sa tabi n'ya at nakatulog.
"I need to leave," I mumbled and turned my gaze at Eron. I took my eyeglasses and wore it then stared at his sleeping face.
It was such a good experience... good was actually an understatement. That was the best experience I ever had... probably the most wonderful night of my life. Even though we're not in love with each other, he still managed to make me feel special last night. I will never forget it... but I don't want to be involve with him again. This is the first and last time that we'll do this.
It seems like he's madly in love with that woman... I don't to be in trouble... I don't want to fall for him.
I bit my lower lip and slowly remove his arm on my waist. I let out a weak groan when he just hugged me tighter and pulled me closer to him. Napalunok na lang ako at naghintay ulit bago lumuwag nang kaunti ang yakap n'ya sa akin.
Ganito ba talaga siya sa mga nakaka-s*x n'ya? Kung ganito siya hindi na ako magtataka kung lahat ng mga 'yon ay nahulog sa kan'ya.
Napailing na lang ako at inalis na ang braso n'ya sa akin. Dahan-dahan akong umalis ng kama saka kinuha ang mga damit ko at isinuot 'yon. Masakit pa ang katawan ko lalo na ang mga hita ko pero hindi na ako pwedeng magtagal pa rito. I know I wanted this to happen. I didn't regret it too. But I don't want to be involve with him deeper.
I sighed and looked at him one last time. He looks innocent while sleeping, but he looks like a hungry and sexy monster when he's awake... I guess I was really attracted to him. Baka nga crush ko na talaga siya... I mean, who wouldn't ? He's attractive, sexy, and he's really good in bed. He seems smart, he's a gentleman, and has a sense of humor too. Delikado kung mas lalala ang nararamdaman kong attraction sa kan'ya. He's been in love with another woman for a long time just like what he said before... Ako lang din ang kawawa kapag tuluyan akong nahulog sa kan'ya.
Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin at napailing. Tinalikuran ko na siya at agad nagtungo sa pinto. Natigilan ako nang mapahawak sa doorknob... Dapat ba ipagluto ko muna siya ng almusal bago ako umalis?
Napailing na lang ako at mahinang sinampal ang pisngi ko... Parang gumagawa na lang ako ng dahilan para manatili pa rito.
Ipinihit ko na ang doorknob at akmang bubuksan ang pinto ngunit natigilan ako nang may kamay na humarang sa pinto. I just gulped and bit my lower lip when I felt something hard and hot on my back. I froze when I felt his lips on my nape.
"Where you goin'? Hmm?" he asked in a deep and husky voice and hugged my waist with his muscled arm.
"U-Uuwi na 'ko," mahinang sinabi ko saka sinubukang alisin ang braso n'ya sa baywang ko ngunit mas hinigpitan n'ya lang ang yakap sa akin.
"Mamaya na... Ihahatid kita," anas n'ya habang hinahalik-halikan ang leeg ko pababa sa balikat ko.
"You stink... Take a bath first," I lied even though he still smells good as hell.
Hinarap ko na siya ngunit gusto ko na namang mapaatras nang makita ko ang mukha n'ya. He still looks dashing in the morning. Siguro mukha akong bruha ngayon samantalang siya ay gwapong gwapo pa rin. Napakagat na lang ako sa ibabang labi ko at napatikhim. Pinilit kong umaktong normal.
"Let's take a bath together," he mumbled and hugged my waist again and pulled me closer to him.
"I-Ikaw na ang mauna," sabi ko na lang saka marahan siyang itinulak palayo sa akin.
Natigilan ako nang umangat ang isang kamay n'ya saka marahang humawak sa panga ko at pinaharap ang mukha ko sa kan'ya. Napalunok na lang ako at napatitig sa mga mata n'ya.
"Tatakasan mo 'ko," anas n'ya saka mas hinigpitan ang yakap sa baywang ko.
"S-So what? I want to go home and besides... we're just f**k buddies. To be honest, I just consider it as a one night stand because I think it won't happen again," I muttered and avoided his gaze.
"Damn, why are you suddenly so cold to me? You're breaking my heart, Cristina," he mumbled and buried his face on my neck.
"W-Why are you being like this? f**k buddies shouldn't be like this," bulong ko na lang... Pakiramdam ko ay bibigay ako sa mga halik at yakap n'ya ano mang oras kapag hindi pa ako umalis. "Do you always treat your f**k buddy like this?" I rasped.
I shuddered when I felt him gently bit the skin on my neck... "Whether I lie or tell you the truth... I'll still sound like a playboy," he mumbled and let out a sexy chuckle.
I gasped when he suddenly held my waist with his both hands and carried me. I involuntarily clung on his nape and hugged his waist with my legs. "E-Eron... what are you planning to do?"
"I told you, we'll take a bath... We will continue our house tour last night."
Hindi na ako nakapalag pa nang dalhin n'ya ako sa bathroom... We took a bath together and I felt so helpless against his touch and kisses.
I SIGHED as I watch him cook for our brunch. Medyo natagalan kami sa bathroom dahil ang landi ni Eron. He kept on kissing and touching me... pero malandi rin yata ako dahil nagugustuhan ko ang bawat ginagawa n'ya. Tuluyan ng nabulilyaso ang plano ko na umalis agad.
"Here you go... Fried rice with egg, bacon, and hotdog," sabi ni Eron saka ipinaghain ako. Tahimik na pinapanood ko na lang siya habang napapangiti.
"Hindi talaga nawawala ang hotdog," naibulong ko saka tinusok ng tinidor ang hotdog at kinagatan 'yon.
Eron just chuckled and sat beside me. Nagsimula na kaming kumain at pareho na kaming natahimik pagkatapos no'n... I'm not good at initiating conversations because I'm not really that friendly, and for some reason, it feels awkward being with him now. Maybe because we just had s*x last night.
"Cristina... Is there a problem?" Eron asked and looked at me.
Natigilan ako saka napatingin sa kan'ya. Seryosong nakatingin siya sa akin at para bang gusto n'ya talagang malaman kung ano ang problema. Napalunok na lang ako at napaiwas ng tingin sa kan'ya saka uminom ng juice.
"W-Wala naman," tipid na sagot ko na lang saka napatikhim.
"Hmm..." Eron held his chin. He gripped my chair and suddenly pulled it closer to him. "I don't think so, Cristina. Come on, tell me what's bothering you."
"T-This is what bothers me, Eron," I mumbled and looked at him. His forehead creased, he's confused... "We're just f**k buddies, we shouldn't be like this... You like cuddles, sweet words, sweet gestures, and everything... I may be innocent but I know that f**k buddies don't do those stuff. We should know our limits," I added and bit my lower lip.
Eron went silent for a while, but he nodded after that and smiled. "So, in short... you don't want to develop romantic feelings towards me..." he said while nodding his head.
Napasinghap ako sa sinabi n'ya. "T-That's not what I mean!" Hindi ko napigilang magtaas ng boses.
Eron chuckled and pinched my cheek. "Wow, you look hotter when you're mad," tila nang-aasar pa na sabi n'ya habang nakatitig sa akin.
"S-Stop it, Eron. I'm being serious here," sabi ko na lang saka inalis ang kamay n'ya sa pisngi ko.
"Okay, okay," natatawang sabi na lang n'ya. "I totally get what you're saying, Cristina... Let's talk about it, seriously."
Napakagat na lang ako sa ibabang labi ko nang mapansing naging seryoso ang mukha n'ya. Umupo ako nang ayos at seryoso ring tumitig sa kan'ya.
"First, we're friends with benefits and not just f**k buddies. We agreed to be friends with benefits, right? So, I think there's nothing wrong with cuddles and sweet gestures." He pulled my chair closer and trapped my knees with his knees. I just gulped when I felt his hand on my legs, gently caressing it.
"D-Did you also do this with your female friends before? I mean, I'm sure hindi ako ang unang naging friend with benefits mo," bulong ko na lang saka napakamot sa batok ko.
"To be honest... I had f**k buddies before but this is the first time I settled with friends with benefits relationship."
Natigilan ako sa sinabi n'ya... pero tumikhim na lang ako saka napahawak sa leeg ko. "But still... Being friends with benefits doesn't mean cuddles and sweet gestures are allowed," sabi ko na lang saka napaiwas ng tingin sa kan'ya.
"You can tell me the issue directly, Cristina," sabi ni Eron saka ipinatong ang siko n'ya sa mesa saka inilapat ang pisngi n'ya sa kamao n'ya. Tila aliw na aliw siya habang nakatitig sa akin.
"W-What I'm trying to say is... is that... we shouldn't do those kind of stuff as if we're in some kind of a romantic relationship. Our relationship is purely s****l so we should know our limits... I-I'm still a woman, Eron. It won't be good i-if... if I develop romantic feelings for you because you're deeply in love with another woman. I-I know you love her so much because you even have her picture in your room," I murmured and gripped the hem of my top.
Eron didn't say anything but he's still staring at me. I don't know what's going on with his mind right now... I'm dying to know what he's thinking.
"Damn, I'm such a jerk... I'm sorry, we just had s*x in my room last night with her picture there. It was disrespectful on your side," bulong n'ya.
"I-It's fine," I mumbled.
Mas lalong lumapit sa akin si Eron saka matiim na tumitig sa akin. Napalunok na lang ako at nakipaglabanan ng titig sa kan'ya kahit na nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko dahil do'n.
"I'm weird, Cristina."
Natigilan ako sa sinabi n'ya. Napakunot ang noo ko. "Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?"
He grinned and scratched his thick eyebrow. "I want our relationship to continue but I also want cuddles and sweet gestures with you even if it means we'll cross our limits and even if it means that you'll develop romantic feelings for me in the process... but I also don't want you to fall for me... I'm being weird, aren't I?" he asked in a low tone while staring at me.
I bit my lower lip and shook my head. "Y-You're not being weird... you're being selfish," I muttered and avoided his gaze.
Marahang napahalakhak si Eron sa sinabi ko imbis na mainis. Napakagat na lang ako sa loob ng pisngi ko at hindi na nagsalita pa.
"How about this... We will continue our relationship like this but if you already feel like you're about to develop romantic feelings, you can tell me right away and we're gonna stop this immediately... I'll do the same if I happen to like you more than I should."
Mas lalo akong napakagat sa ibabang labi ko... Hindi ko alam kung bakit pakiramdam ko matutuwa pa ako kung mangyari man na magugustuhan n'ya ako o mahulog siya sa akin... pero alam ko namang imposible 'yon.
"T-That won't happen, Eron."
"Why are you so sure? It's not impossible... Though, I'm wishing it won't happen," seryosong sabi n'ya habang nakatitig pa rin sa akin.
"I-I'm wishing the same thing too..." bulong ko na lang saka napaiwas ng tingin sa kan'ya.
Saglit kaming natahimik. Napatungo na lang ako at patuloy na pinaglaruan ang laylayan ng damit ko para doon ituon ang tensyon na nararamdaman ko.
"So, what now? Ano'ng gusto mong mangyari, Cristina? Whatever it is, I'll go for it. Hindi naman kita pipilitin sa ayaw mo," sabi ni Eron habang seryoso pa rin na nakatitig sa akin.
This is the perfect opportunity, Cristina. Tell him that you don't want this anymore. Tell him that you have no plans to continue this relationship. Tell him.
I stared at him, especially in his eyes. I don't know but it feels like I was hypnotized by his hazel eyes... "I-Ituloy na lang natin... Y-You're plan is not that bad, we'll go with it... Besides, we both need each other, right?" Napalunok ako. "I-Iisipin ko na lang na practice ko 'to bago ako tuluyang magka-boyfriend," mahinang dagdag ko pa.
Napasinghap ako nang hawakan ni Eron ang braso ko at basta na lang ako hinila paupo sa kandungan n'ya. Nagtatakang napatingin ako sa kan'ya. Matiim na tumitig siya sa akin kasabay ng pag-igting ng panga n'ya. Napalunok na lang ako at napakapit sa balikat n'ya.
"E-Eron?"
"For some reason, I didn't like what you just said," he said in a low tone and gripped my waist... Hindi naman ganoong kasakit.
Napasinghap na lang ako nang basta na lang ako nitong binuhat saka iniupo sa mesa. I don't know why it seems like it's just easy for him to carry me as if I'm just a piece of paper. Medyo mabigat pa naman ako.
"While we're in this relationship..." he trailed off, "you're mine, Cristina... and I'm yours too."
Napalunok na lang ako kasabay ng pagwawala ng kung ano sa tiyan ko. Tumitig din ako sa kan'ya at parang pinapaso ko lang ang sarili ko sa ginagawa ko.
Eron cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips. It feels like my arms move on its own and clung on his nape. I immediately closed my eyes and kissed him back with equal fervor... Eron's hand went on my waist and gently caressed it as his lips nibble on mine, then sucking it and biting it. A helpless moan escaped from my mouth against his sensual kisses.
His hand went inside my top. I unconsciously bit his lower lip when I felt his hand on my bosom, fondling it and playing with its n****e. Eron grinned and slid his tongue inside my mouth, then started thrusting his expert tongue there as his hands started roaming around my body. My body is still aching but the pleasure is clouding my judgement and inhibitions.
I gasped when Eron suddenly pulled my top down. I'm wearing an off-shoulder top so it's easy for him to pull it down. He released my breasts from my bra then fondled it with both of his hands. I just arched my back to give him better access.
His kisses went down on my neck. Tila gigil na kinagat at sinipsip n'ya ang balat ko ro'n pero tila hindi ko na rin 'yon alintana. I just let him leave marks there. Ang dami na rin naman n'yang iniwang marka sa iba't ibang parte ng katawan ko.
"E-Eron, aahhh..." I let out a helpless moan when his lips went down on my bosom. He started playing with my mounds with his lips and tongue and sucked my skin there too.
My toes curled when his tongue encircled around my n****e, he's teasing me... But he immediately put my hard and aching n****e inside his hot mouth and started sucking it. My eyes dilated and my back arched even more. He spread my legs wider and started grinding his manhood on my center.
"Eron... m-masakit pa," daing ko saka marahang itinulak ang balakang n'ya palayo sa akin.
He stopped sucking my n*****s and stared at me. He licked his lower lip and buried his face on my neck. "Damn, I guess it's just me and my hand today, huh," natatawang bulong n'ya saka dinampian ng halik ang leeg ko.
Natahimik ulit kaming pareho habang nasa ganoon pa ring posisyon... I just bit my lower lip and gently played with his hair. "Eron, s-sa tingin ko maganda kung magpapahaba ka kaunti ng buhok," bulong ko.
Inilayo ni Eron ang mukha sa leeg ko saka tumitig sa akin. "Why? Hindi ba bagay sa akin ang ganitong hairstyle?" natatawang tanong n'ya.
"H-Hindi sa gano'n... A-Ano kasi... I-I just want something... s-something to grip while you're... y-you're..." Napalunok na lang ako dahil hindi ko maituloy-tuloy ang sasabihin ko... Nakakahiya.
Eron smirked and licked his lower lip... "While I'm eating you?"
Napakurap na lang ako kasabay ng mas lalong pag-init ng magkabilang pisngi ko. Marahang napahalakhak naman siya saka muling sinubsob ang mukha sa leeg ko saka muling hinalik-halikan 'yon.
"Okay, I'll do that... I don't want you to have a hard time while I'm eating your p***y," he muttered in a deep and husky voice.
Mas lalong nag-init ang magkabilang pisngi ko sa sinabi n'ya. Ngunit hindi na lang ako kumibo at tumuloy sa paghaplos sa maikling buhok n'ya. Halata namang nagugustuhan n'ya ang ginagawa ko kaya mas yumakap siya sa baywang ko at mas nagsumiksik sa leeg ko.
"Cristina... why don't you just stay here in my house while this relationship is on going?" bulong n'ya, halos hindi ko narinig 'yon dahil sa hina ng pagkakasabi n'ya.
Hindi kaagad ako nakasagot... at kagaya ng nangyari kanina, gustong tumanggi ng isip ko pero salungat 'yon sa lumabas sa bibig ko...
"S-Sure... T-That's much convenient."
