Tatlong araw na siyang hindi nagpupunta sa club matapos ng nangyari sa kanilang dalawa ni Dylan. Hindi naman siya nahihiya. Ayaw niya lang talaga itong makita sa takot na baka kulit-kulitin lang siya nito hanggang sabihin niya kung sinong kasama niya noong gabing iyon. There is no way in hell that she'll tell him who it was.
Para ano? Para makarinig lang siya na sabihan siya ni Dylan na ang tanga-tanga niya? Nope. Not in this life. Mas gugustuhin niya pang isipin nito na ibang lalaki ang kasama niya noon. Alam naman ni Alea na kaya nitong malaman kung sino ‘yon, he’s just respecting her privacy. Correction. He won’t invade her privacy, but that doesn’t mean na hindi siya nito kukulitin. At lalong hindi niya kayang magsinungaling kay Dylan.
Kaya naman nagtatago siya.
Until one night, dumating ito sa bahay na may kasamang babae. Even worst, it was Xiera Pedroza. Nhia and Toby Pedroza’s only daughter.
The people he wanted to get his revenge.
“What happened to her?” Tanong niya mataposilapag ni Dylan si Xiera sa kama. “Are you out of your mind?! Dy, kidnapping ‘yan!” Kinakabahang sita niya kay Dylan. Xiera’s face was bruised. Ayaw niyang maniwala na kaya iyong gawin ni Dylan. And that’s what scares her the most.
“Ikalma mo nga yang pepe mo. Hindi ko siya kinidnap. In fact, I saved her.”
“Hindi?” Natigilan siya sa pagpapabalik-balik na paglalakad. “Then what happened on her face?” Nagdududa pa ring tanong niya. Alam naman niyang hindi magagawang manakit ni Dylan ng babae, but just to be sure. Lalo na’t may kinalaman kay Nhia Pedroza ang dalaga.
“I saw her at a bar, heard her friends talking about spiking her drinks, doing something bad and then recording it.”
“They did?” She’s lost for words. Judge niya kaagad si Dylan without asking for his side. Pero kase naman, this is Xiera Pedroza they’re talking about. Buti sana kung hindi siya ang nakikinig sa mga plano ni Dylan kung paano paparusan ang mga Pedroza for all the pain they caused him.
“Yes, Alea. I saved her. I could have just left her there, I could have just let them get my revenge… But I couldn’t.” Biglang lumamlam ang mga mata ni Alea habang nakatingin sa kaibigan. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon niya napapatunayang mabuting tao si Dylan. He’s not a bad person. Totoo nga iyong sabi nila, Monsters were created, not born. “I don’t know why I couldn’t.”
Naupo siya sa tabi ni Dylan. She put her head on his shoulder. “Hindi mo ‘yon magawa kase deep inside alam mong hindi mo kayang manakit ng mga babae. You’re like a guardian angel to abused women like us.” Bahagyang lumamlam ang mga mata ni Alea habang nakatingin kay Xiera.
Tinulungan niya si Dylan na tanggalin ang damit ni Xiera. She could have done it herself, pero nakikita niya ang pag aalala sa mukha ni Dylan. He cares. Kahit ayaw nitong aminin, alam niyang deep inside, nag aalala ito sa dalaga.
“I have a shirt in my room. Let me get it first.” Dahan-dahan niyang umusog para umalis ng kama. Isang sulyap pa ang ginawa ni Alea bago siya tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. Hindiniya alama kung anong tumatakbo sa isip ni Dylan biut he did the right thing by saving her and keeping her away from any harm.
Alea jogged to the other room para kumuha ng pamalit na damit. T-shirt and boxer shorts. Sigurado naman kase siyang walang magkakasyang bra sa dalaga kaya iyon na lang. This will do.
Pagbalik sa kwarto ay naabutan niyang nakatitig sa natutulog na si Xiera si Dylan. He’s looking– staring at her small and naked body.
Sinadya niyang bumuntong-hinga ng malakas para ipaalam kay Dylan na nandoon na siya.
“This… this is Xiera Pedroza, right?” Tanong ni Alea habang binibihisan ang dalaga. She knows her. Gusto niya lang i-confirm ‘yon kay Dylan.
“Yes.” Pabuntong-hiningang sabi nito.
“Care to tell me what happened?” Tinignan siya ng masama ni Dylan.
“Do you think I did it?” Does she? Nope. But she likes messing with him. Isa pa, kung hindi niya ito kukulitin, hindi nito sasabihin kung anong nangyari.
“I saw her at the bar with her friends–”
“Saw?” Taas kilay niyang tanong. Alea is pushing her luck but she needed to know what exactly happened.
“Fine. I have her followed. At mabuti na rin ‘yon. Kung hindi ko siya pinasundan at kung wala ako doon, what do you think will happen?”
“Poor kid.” Lumapit si Alea kay Xiera at saka nito sinapo ang noo ng dalaga. “She’s also down with fever.”
“It’s the drugs. Kung wala ako doon, baka kung ano nang nangyari sa kanya. She trusted the wrong set of friends.”
“She’s just a kid. Kids trust easily.” She knows that. Isa siyang buhay na patotoo on how fragile and trusting some kids are. She’s been on Xiera’s shoes. Ang pinagkaiba nga lang nilang dalawa, walang Dylan noon na sumaklolo sa kaniya.
“Not Xiera. She’s really careful. I can’t get her to trust me but she trusts them. Stupid.”
“Ano ka ba? Yung edad mong yan papasa ka na ngang tatay niya e. Why would she trust you? Kung ako si Xiera, I’d find you creepy too.”
“Why are we even friends?” Kunot-noong tanong nito sa kanya.
“Because I am awesome and I have a nice personality.” Sagot ni Alea.
“Oh wow. Nice personality, yey. I’m so lucky.” Umirap pa ito sa kanya. Nginisian lang siya ni Alea. Dylan is, she cannot read him ni matter how hard she tries.
“Wala ka namang balak na saktan si Xiera, right?” Tanong niya ulit. She needs to know. Baka mamaya idamay pa siya ng lalaki sa kalokohan nito.
“Nope.” He said, popping the p. “ But I have to ask you something.” Hindi pa man nakakasagot si Alea ay napansin na niyang inaalis ni Dylan ang butones ng polo nito.
“What are you doing?”
“Can you put bite marks on me?”
“Why?” She asks suspisciously.
“Just do it.”
“Excuse me, but I’m not gonna do something unless you tell me the reason.” Wala namang problema sa kanya kung bibigyan niya ng bite marks si Dylan. She can give him more than that if he wanted to. Ang kaso lang, hindi siya gusto ni Dylan, sexually speaking.
“It’s an insurance policy.”
Alea raised her brow. Napahalukipkip pa siya habang nakatitig kay Dylan, waiting for him to explain further. “For what?”
“I’ll tell her she did it to me.”
“Akala ko ba wala kang planong masama sa batang ‘yan, I thought you wanted her to trust you. Then why do you want her to think that way?” Hindi talaga niya rin minsan maintindihan kung anong tumatakbo sa isip ng kaibigan.
“So she’ll feel indebted to me. Wala naman akong balak sabihin kahit kanino kung anong nangyari sa kanya, maliban kay Xiera. I just wanted to gain her trust since I can keep her secret.” She look at him sternly at saka siya tumingin sa natutulog na si Xiera. She’s having second thoughts kung gagawin niya ba ang gustong mangyari ni Dyla. It is harmless, wala naman sigurong masama kung iisipin ni Xiera na ganoon ang nangyari sa kanya, baka mas makabuti rin ‘yon at tuluyan na nitong iwasan ang mga kaibigang nagpahamak sa kanya.
“You really like making things so complicated, no?”
“It’s not that complicated. I’m just going to teach her a lesson.”
Isang malalim na buntong-hininga pa ang pinakawalan niya bago siya naglakad papalapit kay Dylan. “Do not hurt this kid, Dylan. She’s too young to be traumatized.” Napansin niya ang bahagyang pagtim ng bagang ni Dylan. Alam niyang may iniisip itong kakaiba but she ignored it.
Alea’s lips fell on his neck as she lick the skin before sucking it. Her mouth travelled from his neck down to his throat down to his chest, leaving traces of bite marks everywhere. It must have felt so good na hindi man lang naramdaman ni Dylan na bumababa pa siya kung hindi lang nito naramdaman na binubuksan niya na ang zipper ng pantalon nito.
“No, Ali. Stop.” Paungol na sabi nito. Alea watch as his chest heaves. PInapatigil siya nito but his d**k in front of her face says something else. It is pulsing and leaking precum and Alea lened in and shoved it inside her mouth. He tremble above her and she suck him harder. Nasabunutan siya nito ng wala sa oras.
“Ohhhhh fvck, Alea!” Pasinghap na sabi nito. His knees buckles as she twist her head, taking him deeper. Dylan is well endowed. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakita niya ang p*********i nito but it is the first time she put him inside her mouth. She expertly maneuvered her head, pushing his massive d1ck deeper down her throat. She’s gagging pero hindi niya tinitigilan ang kahabaan ni Dylan hanggang sa maramdaman niya ang paninigas ng binti nito.
“Alea, I’m gonna explode…” Pasinghap na sabi nito. “Release me or I might c*m inside your mou–” Hindi na nito natapos ang sasabihin niya,. Alea started playing with his balls too, forcing an explosion. Dylan grabbed her face and she started fuvking her mouth faster and harder and with force. Alea stayed ther, her hands on his ass pulling him closer.
“Ahhhhhhh….” He groans as his semen keeps on pouring inside Alea’s mouth. “Fvck, Xiera.” Tila hinang-hina na sabi nito. “Fvck.”
She stood up na parang walang nangyari at pinunasan niya lang ang gilid ng labi niya. Maiinsulto sana siyang ibang pangalan ang binanggit ni Dylan habang siya ang nakaluhod sa harapan nito but she ignored it. Napatingin na lang siya kay Xiera na gising at nakatingin sa kanila kanina. Dylan is also staring at her.
“I already ease your pain. Stop lusting over the kid.” Tinapik niya ang braso ni Dylan bago siya tuluyang lumabas sa kwarto. Kinakabahan si Alea na naglakad papunta sa kwarto ng anak. They crossed an invisible line there. Sa tagal na nilang magkaibigan at magkakilala ni Dylan, hindi nila tinawid ‘yong linyang ‘yon. He doesn’t want her to. Kahit na sabihin pang malaki ang utang na loob niya kay Dylan, ayaw nitong pagsamantalahan siya. But she crossed that line to save Xiera. Nakita niya ang kakaibang titig ni Dylan kanina sa dalaga and she knew she had to do something. It’s just necessary.

“Mom, she’s awake.” Sigaw ni Cassie habang naghahanda siya ng pagkain sa lamesa. Inutusan niya itong tignan kung gising na si Xiera. She probably did more that just to look at her dahil kasama niya na si Xiera pagdating niya sa may dining area.
They had a fun breakfast. Cassie and Dylan kept on teasing Xiera at alam niya na kung bakit interesadong-interesado si Dylan sa dalaga. He’s actually smiling and laughing like it was a very normal thing to do. It was. But not with Dylan. Si Cassie lang ang may kakayahang pangitiin ito kagaya ngayon.
“Siya nga pala, I took the liberty of taking your stuff from your friends house. While you’re sleeping.”
“Uhmmm. Why did you do it?” Palipat-lipat lang ang tingin ni Alea sa dalawa. Xiera is starting to relax. Hindi na siya kagaya kanina na akala mo e nakaglue ang katawan sa bangkuan. She’s starting to move freely. Although Alea knew na iniisip ni Xiera kung anong relasyon nilang dalawa ni Dylan lalo na noong tinawag itong daddy ng anak niya.
Dylan is not taking his time to explain the situation to Xiera so bakit naman niya gagawin ‘yon?
