CHAPTER FIVE

DAMA pa rin ni Zurick ang p*******t ng likod niya, partikular sa may parteng batok niya nang siya ay nagkamalay. Kung paanong dahan-dahan siyang bumangon ay ganoon din ang muling pagrehistro sa utak niya ng mga nangyari kanina bago siya nawalan ng malay.

Within just an eyeblink, the plot of his life turned unreal.

He's instantly married. Married to a woman who's off limit. Kung sakali mang malaman iyon ng matalik niyang kaibigan na si Trever de Gracia ay suwerte na siya kung humihinga pa siya bago siya makapagpaliwanag.

Hindi sa duwag siyang aminin ang mga hindi inaasahang pangyayari sa pagitan nila ni Reverie, sadyang may mga bagay lang na hindi maaaring pahintulutang maganap o magpatuloy.

Pissed off, he walked out from the room kung saan siya nagpalipas habang wala siyang malay. Sa mga sandaling iyon ay wala siyang ibang iniisip kung hindi ang makausap ng masinsinan si Reverie.

At nagtapuan nga niya ang naturang babae na nag-su-surface sa swimming pool ng kinaroroonan nilang bahay na hindi niya rin alam kung sino ang nagmamay-ari.

Nalukot ang noo ni Zurick nang marahang sinuyod ng mga mata niya ang kabuuan ng babae sa swimming pool. Naka-two piece bikini ito na Emerald green ang kulay and her eyes were concealed behind a sunglasses.

No one's all around but the two of them. Wala na ring mga bodyguards na nakakalat.

“Quit staring, motherfvcker!”

Hindi napansin ni Zurick na matagal na pala siyang nakatitig sa huli.

He set aside those wicked appreciation inside his head that made him felt something scorching heat within him. He is only allowed to stared like that to any random minx. Not with Reverie de Gracia. But it's so hard not to look as much as appreciating the hotness does Reverie possessed.

Her flawless, pinkish white skin is more heartrending than any tourist spots he saw before. Her every curves will surely make every man who sees her stop and look at her like a hawk. Bawat anggulo ng mukha nito ay perpektong inukit. Natural na mamula-mula ang mga labi ganoon din ang pisngi nito.

Hindi na nagtaka si Zurick kung bakit ganoon na lamang ang pagiging istrikto ni Trever sa kapatid noong minsang naikuwento ang dalaga sa kanya ng kaibigan. Even his bandmates such as Blu and Randall got a crush on Reverie, lingid sa kaalaman ni Nigel.

“I said quit staring at me, moron!” Pabulyaw na ulit ni Reverie nang hindi pa rin niya magawang ialis ang tingin mula sa katawan nito, partikular sa bandang dibdib nito.

Zurick was mentally guessing if what cup size she possessed or so, if it would be perfect against his palm and how does it feel when he squeeze both of them and flicked her n*****s with his expert tongue?

Damn him for tolerating those perverted thoughts.

Tumigil sa pag-float si Reverie at pinaningkitan siya ng mata. “Oh, lemme guess. You're now thinking on how to strangle my neck because of our instant marriage which of course a great idea from me.” She went on with a silly smile in her aristocratic face. Nabatid ni Zurick na medyo infirm ang boses nito at mula sa kabilang side ng pool ay nakita nga niya ang ilang empty can ng beer na nakakalat.

Sinikap ni Zurick na umaktong relax but then, he can't help not to show his signature flirty smug face. “No.” Tanggi niya at humakbang ng dalawang beses palapit sa pool kung saan nakababad si Reverie. Their eyes locked.

“Oh,” She exclaimed unconvinced, brow shot inwardly.

He smirked. “Wrong ‘cause to be honest with you, dolce signora. I'm actually thinking what does it feels like when I clasp your t**s against my hands. Truth to be told.”

Reverie’s nostrils flared up because of anger. “Dakilang maniac ka talaga!”

Umalik-ik lamang si Zurick nang sinabuyan siya ng tubig ni Reverie. “There's more. Wanna hear it?”

“Save it, dickhead!” Utas nito at sinamaan siya ng tingin. Iyong klase ng tingin na natatanggap niya sa mga babaeng iniiwan niya sa kama pagkatapos ng isang gabing purong kamunduhan.

Umahon ito mula sa swimming pool. Ang totoo ay gusto niya itong lapitan o higit pa pero sa tuwing nailalarawang diwa niya ang deadly glare ng matalik niyang kaibigan na si Trever ay awtomatiko niyang pinipigilan ang sarili.

“Let's talk, Reverie.” Seryoso niyang saad habang nakasunod kay Reverie. Her whole body was soaking wet while unhesitatingly went inside the house. Hindi na rin maayos ang lakad nito sinyales na lango ito sa serbesa.

“We have nothing to discuss with. Back off!” His lips pressed firmly while watching her collecting can beers inside the fridge.

“Sì. There would be nothing if you won't file the marriage contract before the law recognize those shits. Tell me you won't and I'll back off!”

“Having conversation with a total douche isn't my thing. Quit talking to me.” Pagtataboy pa rin nito sa kanya.

“And what's your thing? Marrying a total douche like me, yeah?”

Nagkibit lang ito ng balikat atsaka nilagpasan siya. Bitbit nito ang mga kinuhang canned beer at hindi man lang nag-abalang isira ang fridge.

“Oh, holy crap!” Singhal ni Zurick at padabog na itinulak pasara ang pinto ng refrigerator.

Sinundan niya si Reverie at puwersahan niya itong iniharap sa kanya, sanhi upang magsilaglagan sa sahig ang mga dala nito.

Namumungay ang mga mata nito. “Bingi ka ba? I told you to back off, right?” Sigaw nito sa mukha niya. Matatag itong nakipagsukatan ng tingin sa kanya ngunit maging siya ay nauubusan na rin ng pasensya.

“Don't be a stubborn, Reverie de Gracia. Things would be a fvcking mess if you won't withdraw our marriage files.” Mahinahon ngunit puno ng diin ang bawat salitang sinasabi niya sa babae.

Ngumisi lang ito ng nakakatuya. “Ayaw ko nga. And I won't never cooperate if ever you file an annulment later on. Kasado na ang lahat bago ka pa man makalabas sa bahay na ito.”

“Reverie.” His jaw slackened.

“You messed up with me, remember? I'm just returning you the favor. You made a mistake and I did a bold choice as well to get even. Quits lang tayo.” Napapikit na lamang si Zurick nang tinuksong haplusin ni Reverie ang dibdib niya. Nang-aakit ang bawat tingin na itinatapon nito sa kanya.

“Don't stress yourself over anything that you can't change, Romano Demone.” Hindi siya nagpahalatang naninigas nang ilapit nito ang mukha sa tenga niya. Damn! He swear to God na kaunti na lamang ay papatulan na talaga niya ang kapangahasan ng babae. “Just enjoy the bite of karma. Now there's two less fvcked up people in the world. You and me.”

“I'VE GOT all the information that you want me to pluck, Sir. And yes, I confirmed that the law already recognized the marriage license. Reverie Laurente de Gracia is now legally a wife of yours, Sir.” Confirmed by Zurick’s executive assistant.

Napahilot na lamang siya sa kanyang magkabilang sentido.

That woman must be very insane. He mentally snorted to himself.

“Mila, I want you to reassure me that you'll hide this information from anyone else lalo na sa mga kaibigan ko. Don't ever give them any piece of hint that I am already married.” Mahigpit na utos niya sa sekretarya na nagsisilbi ring personal assistant niya.

Tumayo na siya at naghahandang umalis. Sa gabing iyon ay nagbabalak siyang lumipad patungo sa States. Before he finally decides to takeover the chairmanship of their family's wine distillery company which based in the Philippines ay ibig niya munang tapusin ang isa pa niyang pangarap. That's to be a veterinary.

“Got it, Sir.”

“And make sure that no one would doubt about my real marital status as long as I'm not in the throne of being the CEO of de Souza distillery. I trust you, Mil. Walang dapat na makaalam na kasal na ako.”

Before his flight, Zurick decided to visit a bar owned by a friend of him. Wala naman sa isip niya ang magpakalango sa alak pero doon din naman napunta. Hanggang sa makaligtaan na niya ang flight niya dahil masyado na siyang naging occupied sa atensyon ng babaeng kasama niya.

He felt so relax whenever he fvcked a woman. That's the usual him. He never committed himself into a romantic and serious relationship before at wala siyang plano. He can't even see himself marrying any woman out there and then out of the blue ay kasal na siya. Nakakagago lang! The world must know how he hates responsibilities and commitments. He truly cursed that day when he was instantly married to Reverie.

That stubbornly despicable woman! Brat!

Nawala na isipan niya na naging marahas na ang paghalik niya sa babaeng kasama. The woman didn't mind his rough and savage touch and kisses all over her body. The bar was already crowded and no one's noticing them after all.

“Ho male ti voglio dentro di me, amore.” (I badly want you inside me, love.) The blonde woman with a pair of green eyes sexily uttered against his lips.

Napuno ng pagnanasa ang mga mata ni Zurick. It's exactly the kind of distraction he needed by now. Iyong umalog at umindayog siya sa ibabaw ng babae hanggang sa mawala sa isipan niya ang mga bagay na nagbibigay ng stress sa kanya.

“Let's do it inside my car, signora.” He uttered back.

Walang pag-aalinlangan na sumama sa kanya ang babae. Hurriedly, he pushed the woman at the backseat of his car and forcefully removed the woman's clothes together with her underwear.

Tumawa lang ang babae.

“I'll do it the savage way.” Ngisi ni Zurick atsaka pilit na pumuwesto sa gitna ng nakabukang mga binti ng babae.

“Rhames’ way. Oh God, why not? Mi piacerebbe che.” (I would love that.)

Akmang susunggaban na ni Zurick ang exposed na dibdib ng babae nang biglang umalog ang kanyang kotse at saglit pa’y may babaeng pumasok sa driver seat.

“Oh Lord..” Zurick screamed out of shock.

Kapwa sila napatanga ng babaeng kasama niya.

“What the hell are you doing here, Reverie?” He hissed, series of anger hiding behind his eyes.

Reverie made an eye contact with him through the rear view mirror then frowned. Katulad niya ay mukhang lasing din ito.

“Do that b***h in here and I swear tatlo tayong lalabas sa tabloid bukas with a caption, threesome rhapsody. SouldDragon’s drummer, his wife and an Italian b***h who passed away after the wife murdered her after the drummer screwed her.” May pagbabanta sa boses nito.

PAGBABA na pagbaba pa lang ng babaeng kasama ni Zurick ay kaagad na pinaharurot ni Reverie ang kotse.

“Who are you to meddled with my own life, huh?” Sigaw ni Zurick mula sa likuran.

Actually, kanina pa talaga niya napansin ang galit sa mga mata nito.

“Do I really have to introduce myself to you, asshole? Asawa mo ako baka lang nakakalimutan mo.” Maangas na sabi ni Reverie. Medyo binagalan na niya ang pagmamaneho dahil dama na niya ang pagkahilo dahil naparami na naman ang inum niya sa gabing iyon.

“Stop bvllshitting my life, Reverie. Hindi mo alam ang pinasok mo. And don't stop me whenever I want to screw other women. Let's stop this once and for all. Ano ba talagang gusto mo?”

“Gusto ko lang naman na makita kang magdusa at hindi ako makakapayag na makasal ka oras na matagpuan mo ang babaeng totoong mamahalin mo. You can't be happy. Now, I don't like to see you in between other women's thighs. I'd rather see you having only one mistress, who is karma.” She spat back.

“Hindi ako mabubuhay na walang babae. I can't live without them.”

“Really huh?” Sarkastikong asik niya at walang babalang tinapakan ang preno ng kotse. Halos magkasabay silang bumaba ni Zurick at nagharap sa side street. “Bakit? Hindi ba tumitibok ang puso mo kapag walang v****a’ng napapasok iyang títi mo? Gano’n? Nilalagnat ka ba kapag hindi ka nakakapag-donate ng tamodachi sa mga freelance kepsyapi na nakikilala mo sa kung saan-saan? What an ultimate fvcker.”

Napaatras si Reverie nang biglang humakbang paabante si Zurick. Hindi niya kinaya ang bigat ng mga titig nito. Parang may halong kakaiba kumpara sa karaniwang tingin nito na nakasanayan niya.

Her heart was in a death race when Zurick finally cornered her against a metal pillar at the street side.

“I have never seen myself torn into a wedlock state and then you did all of these to me within just an eyeblink. Kung ayaw mo akong hayaang sumaya at magpiyesta sa gitna ng mga hita ng ibang babae, then maybe you could allow me to put all my attention in you. What can you say? Tutal kasal naman din lang tayo.”

Napalunok siya. Napakurap. She lost her voice all of a sudden which is so unusual. Tila nakalimutan na niyang huminga nang ilapit pa lalo ni Zurick ang mukha nito sa kanya.

“Could you allow me, dolce signora?”

Muli siyang napakurap at kapagkuwan ay naalala na niyang umimik. “I will...”

Halatang hindi inaasahan ni Zurick ang tugon niya. She smirked and it was her turn to act like a mischievous lady.

“Oh?”

“It's so fine with me, Romano demone. s*x lang ba? Alright!” She exclaimed.

“Oh?” Iyon lang ang tanging reaksyon ni Zurick. Tumatama rin sa mukha niya ang hininga nito na bagaman amoy alak ay mabango pa rin.

“Let's make it a business. A business with a rope, cable wire, handcuffs, n****e rings, o-rings,” Tila nakalunok ng sampung piraso ng ampalaya si Zurick dahil sa mga walang katuturang bagay na sinasabi niya. “...basketball ring, cheese ring..”

“Shut up! Crazy! Pasok sa kotse. I'll drive you home, Reverie.” Bagot itong tumalikod. Halatang disappointed.

“I'm serious about my decision.” Muling ungkat ni Reverie sa paksang pinag-usapan nila kanina nang nasa labas na sila ng bahay na tinutuluyan niya sa Rome na isa sa mga property ng bestfriend niyang si Elfie.

“Stop bvllshitting me anymore, Reverie. Imbes na magpakabaliw ka rito ay bumalik ka na lang sa France. Hindi matutuwa ang Kuy— ang mga magulang mo kapag nalaman nilang nandito ka pa rin sa Italy.”

“I said gusto ko. Gusto ko iyong sinabi mo kanina. Gusto ko.” She stubbornly hissed at him.

“Hindi mo alam iyang ginugusto mo.” Nakatiim bagang na usal ni Zurick.

“Let's make this a deal. I'll pull out our marriage license but in exchange ay tutulungan mo ako na mawala nang tuluyan sa sistema ko si Nigel. In a sensual way, a sensuous deal. Zurick Rhames’ way. We'll do it sa ayaw at gusto mo and we'll start...”

“Bloody hell!” Alma ni Zurick.

“Tonight.” She continued then swiftly claimed Zurick’s lips for a needy kiss.
