More Than Just A Lover

Chapter 2.

Nangatal ang mga labi ko, at hindi ko alam kung dahil iyon sa katotohanan na papalapit na sya sa amin ni Stan at makikilala na sya ni Stan and he will be seen with me or because he looked smoking hot in his black leather jacket with a dark expression on his face.

Tumingin din si Stan kung saan ako naka tingin. Umatras sya palayo sa akin at dalawa na kaming sinusundan ng tingin si Ford.

Ford stood next to me; his hand automatically pulled me in my waist into him. His sexy and musky scent knocked on my nose and it did not help in calming me down.

“I supposed we haven’t met yet?” This time ay sabi ni Stan. He was smiling like an idiot as he extends his hand in front of Ford.

I gulped when Ford shook it. “Ashford Roswell.” Swabeng swabe na pagkakasabi nya, hindi pa rin nagbabago ang expression nya.

The heat of his hand on my waist is already burning holes into my body. I need a fan. I need something cold. I need to get out.

“Stanley Relova.” Stan answered.

Nang matauhan ako ay tiningala ko si Ford. “L-let’s go.”

Yinuko nya naman ako. “I was wondering what’s taking you so long.” He informed me.

Sinulyapan ko si Stan at tiningnan ulit si Ford. “T-tara na.” Hinila ko na sya pero hindi pa rin sya gumagalaw.

Nang magtama ang mga mata namin ni Stan, I saw a glint in it. I don’t know what it means, pero naiinis ako. When I said that Stan’s a little too nice, I meant it. I mean, he can be a little bully at times pero may tiwala ako sa kanya.

He’s still protective of me. At hindi lang naman sya tumatawag sa akin para ayain ako mag s*x. His calls are mostly about knowing how I am at that moment. And I am glad we have this type of relationship.

But he’s just too damn annoying right now.

“I suppose you still have somewhere to go?” Maya maya ay sabi nya. But his grin is teasing me.

“Yes. Just,, just go back inside.” Pinanlakihan ko sya ng tingin bago ko muling hinila paalis si Ford.

This time ay nagpahila na sya.

Nang makalabas na kami, he yanked his hand from mine. Kunot noo na tiningnan ko sya.

His chest’s moving, parang may gusto syang gawin na pinipigilan nya.

“Ford. Is something wrong?”

“Who was that guy?” His voice.. It’s different. Galit ba sya?

“He’s Stan.” Bigla akong kinabahan.

“Bullshit. I don’t need his name. Ano mo sya?” Okay. Now I can tell that he’s really mad. Bahagyang nanlilisik ang mga mata nya.

“F-ford..” Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin.

“Ano mo sya?” Tanong nya ulit. There’s danger in his voice and I don’t like it.

Umatras ako. Two steps away from him. I felt like I am suffocating suddenly. His expression’s grim and dark like I’ve never seen before.

“He’s just a guy I know.” I answered my throat dry.

I can see Kelly a few meters away from us. I can see the worry in her face pero alam nya rin naman na hindi ako sasaktan ni Ford. Well, I don’t know about that now.

He looked like he’s ready to hurt me.

Huminga ng malalim si Ford. “You told me we’re exclusive!” Tumaas ang boses nya.

I was startled. Napakurap ako. “W-we are.”

“Then who was he?”

“Ford.. ano bang problema mo?” I gained my confidence back.

He looked pissed.

“Are you f*****g that guy?” Tinuro nya ang entrance ng lugar na pinanggalingan naminn.

Hinila ko ang braso nya para ibaba nya iyon. “What? Of course not! Ford, ano ba? Why are you making a scene? At bakit ka bumaba sa sasakyan? Paano kung may makakita sa atin-“

“I don’t care.”

I gasped. “What?”

“I don’t care.” He mumbled again. “As long as you’re not f*****g that guy. Or any other guy.” This time he looked like he’s calming down.

Nasapo ko ang noo ko. This is ridiculous. He thought I was f*****g Stan? I was. Not that he still need to know that. Damn it.

“Can we go? Now?” Mariin na sabi ko.

Hindi sya nagsalita. Tinitigan nya lang ako at naunang naglakad.

That’s when Kelly ran towards me.

“What happened? Nag aaway ba kayo?” Nag aalala na tanong nya.

Sinundan namin ng tingin si Ford.

Umiling iling ako. “No. Misunderstanding lang.”

“Nagulat nga ako nang makasalubong ko sya. He asked me where you were. Tinuro na lang kita sa gulat.”

I bit my lower lip. Luminga linga ako. Wala naman sana nakakitang iba. I am so gonna killa Stan after this. s**t.

“Can I go first? Kailangan pa kasi naming mag usap. I’ll call you tomorrow. Or you call me.”

“Sige. Ako na bahala. Ingat kayo.” Sabi na lang ni Kelly.

I feel bad for not waiting na makasakay sya pauwi pero in three minutes naman daw ay darating na ang sasakyan. Atubili ako na sumunod kay Ford at sumakay sa sasakyan. He started the engine and he started driving.

“We need to talk.” Seryoso na sabi ko.

“About?” Parang hindi kami nagkasagutan kanina kung maka react sya.

“About what happened a while ago.” I sighed.

Hindi sya sumagot. He’s just driving.

“Ford.” I called him.

“Go ahead.”

Huminga ako ng malalim. “Bakit ka lumabas sa sasakyan?”

“You were taking too long.”

“That’s not the point! Nakapag hintay ka nga ng halos isang oras the last time.” I hissed at him.

“Maybe I have a hunch that you’re talking to that guy.”

“God. Can you stop bringing Stan into this? Usapan natin na bawal may makakita sa akin na magkasama.”

“No. I never said yes to that f*****g rule of yours. Sinusunod ko lang dahil iyon ang gusto mo. And I did that for quite a while now.”

Napanganga ako. Wow. “What are you talking about? Ford-“

“You never asked me if it’s what I like too.”

“Well. What do you like then? Ang pagtsismisan tayo?” Hamon ko sa kanya. Tumataas na ang boses ko and I feel like I want to explode.

“I want to be seen with you. For the longest time, that’s what I want. Alam mo ba kung gaano kahirap na hindi ka malapitan tuwing namimiss kita kasi hindi pwede? Kasi ayaw mo? Kasi makikita tayo ng ibang tao?”

Hindi ako nakapagsalita. I can’t grasp what he was saying. Bakit nya ‘yon sinasabi?

“Pero tiniis ko kasi ‘yon ang gusto mo.” Pahabol nya.

“Ford.. what the hell do you want for me? We’re f**k buddies, for Christ’s sake. Gusto mo bang ipagkalat sa buong mundo ‘yon?”

Hindi sya sumagot. Focus lang sya sa pagdadrive nya. Hindi na rin ako nagsalita. Nawala ang nararamdaman kong gutom. When I realized that I wasn’t familiar with the road we’re going through, I was the one who broke the deafening silence.

“Where are we going?”

“Sa bago kong flat.” Hindi nya ako nilingon. His full attention’s on the road but his expressions still hard.

I sighed. “I don’t think it will work tonight. Ihatid mo na lang ako.” Nilingon ko sya. “Or better yet, just drop me off somewhere. I’ll take a cab.” Inayos ko ang strap ng shoulder bag ko sa balikat ko.

“Not gonna happened.” He answered without blinking.

“Damn it, Roswell.” Pigil ang inis na sabi ko. “Wala na ako sa mood. I don’t think I can let you f**k me tonight after all of you childish whining!”

That’s when he looked at me for a second. “I’m not whining. And I know you know I am not childish in bed.”

I rolled my eyeballs. “Damn you.”

I really don’t understand him. This is the first time we ever argued ever since we agreed on being each other’s booty call. And it’s because he thought I was f*****g someone. Tapos kesyo ayaw nya daw sa rule namin na dapat ay walang makakakita sa aming magkasama in public.

I was thinking for the both of us.

Hindi na ako nag protesta nang ipasok nya sa underground parking space ng isang building sa Ortigas ang sasakyan nya. So this is where his new flat is?

Nasa elevator na kami ay wala pa rin kaming imikan. I don’t know how we are going to f**k on with this awkward atmosphere around us. The truth is, kahit walang s*x, I like hanging out with Ford.

He’s cool. He makes me laugh. I feel at ease.

Lagpas six months pa lang mula nag magkita kami ulit. Ashford stayed in Manila when he started joining their company a few years ago. Naging close kami ng sumunod sa kanya na si Ahrendale kahit na gusto ko na sana umiwas sa pamilya nila.

When kuya Argos started getting famous, he became a figure in Isabela. Then kami rin ni kuya Habagat. Then their mother started being nice to me. Hindi ako yung tipo na nagdadala ng sama ng loob kaya kahit gaano pa kasakit ang ginawa nya sa akin noon, I was still polite.

She had this ridiculous idea na si Ahren ang susunod na tatakbo pagkatapos ng termino ng asawa nya. Unang termino pa lang naman ng daddy nila bilang Governor and all of a sudden, pinaplano na ng mommy nila ang pagtakbo ni Ahren.

And she wanted me to be engaged with him knowing na may malisya ang closeness namin. Ahren said na hayaan ko na lang daw isipin ng mommy nya na ganoon nga. He even gave me a ring para patunayan iyon!

Assurance lang naman daw ang gusto ng mommy nila at ayaw na rin namin na lumaki kaya pumayag ako.

But when Ahrendale came home with his girlfriend, everything just became a mess. Naghysterical ang mommy nila. Dinalaw ko sila dahil sa friendship namin ni Ahren and that’s when I saw Ashford again.

Eight years na ang nagdaan and he became more dashing. He was my first love and my first broken heart. I didn’t know kung paano nya nalaman ang tungkol sa pagbabanta sa akin ng mommy nya pati na rin ang mga pananakot nito but he went to our house demanding if it’s true.

“F-ford?” Gulat na tanong ko.

Nang sabihin ng kasambahay na may bisita daw ako bago sila umalis, Ashford Roswell is the last person I am expecting. Pero nandito sya.

I just came home from their house last night. I pretended not seeing him there dahil iyon naman talaga ang dapat. I expected him to do so and he did. So anong ginagawa nya ngayon dito?

Inilapag ko sa lamesa ang cellphone ko at kunot noo na humarap sa kanya. “M-may kailangan ka ba?”

He was wearing his signature black leather jacket and tight fit pants. I used to tease him before na action star wannabe sya sa porma nya pero sa totoo lang ay bagay iyon sa kanya. His sexy butt is defined well in his jeans.

Nakatitig lang sya sa akin na parang kinakabisado ang mukha ko at it made me felt uneasy. He then started walking towards me. Tumigil sya nang ilang pulgada na lang ang lapit nya sa akin.

“Is it true? Mommy threatened you and your family?” Malamlam ang mga mata nya nang itanong iyon.

Para akong hinihigop ng mga mata nya. Napapitlag ako. P-paano nya nalaman? I blinked for a few times bago ako umiwas ng tingin sa kanya.

“M-matagal na yung nangyari.” Humakbang ako palayo sa kanya. His scent is assaulting me. My veins started to become alive.

Humakbang pa sya ulit para lumapit sa akin. “I’m sorry..”

Mapait akong ngumiti. “I told you it’s all in the past.” I tried cheering up my voice but I failed. My heart started thumping like crazy.

Humakbang sya ulit at parang mawawalan na ako ng hininga kaya umatras ako pero nawala ang balance ko kaya muntik na akong malaglag but he caught me. Dumukwang sya at nakatitig pa rin sya sa akin.

“F-ford.”

I was out of my mind. I just realized what’s happening when our lips are already touching and his tongue’s already asking entrance to my mouth. I got dizzy, I felt lost, but I welcomed him by opening my mouth.

His lips are still like what I remember. Soft and cold. Naramdaman ko ang pamilyar na kuryente na dumaloy sa katawan ko, waking every veins in my body.

I tried to pushed him, but he overpowers me. My knees weakened and I have no choice kung hindi ang humawak sa mga braso nya para makatayo ako ng maayos. His arm held me at my waist.

“F-ford!” I said in between our kiss.

He’s not stopping, at alam ko na kaunti na lang ay bibigay na ako.

“I want you so f*****g bad.” He whispered. His voice raspy and it sounded so damn sexy.

Humigpit ang kapit nya sa akin at mas lumalim ang paraan ng pag halik nya. He’s consuming me and I am drowning. Before I knew it I was giving in to him. His kisses were slow but deep. Puno ng pag iingat pero ramdam ko ang gigil.

We fell at the couch. Agad kong naramdaman ang bigat nya sa ibabaw ko. I was losing my mind. Should I push him or just let him? All of the thoughts started to vanished when his one hand found its way under my shirt at agad na nakapa ang dibdib ko.

A moan escaped my lips as his fingers pulled my bra down under my shirt. Oh God.Ibinuka nya ang mga hita ko gamit ang tuhod nya. He positioned his self in between.

“F-ford..no..”

He wasn’t listening. Patuloy lang sya sa paghalik nya at lalo lang akong nadadala. He started dry humping me. Idinidiin nya ang sarili nya at unti unti kong naramdaman ang pagtigas ng p*********i nya sa ilalim ng pants nya.

He pulled my shirt up. I bit my lower lip when he just threw it somewhere. Tinitigan ko ang mukha nya. Malamlam ang mga mata nya, his lips pursed and it’s swollen from our kissing. Kinapa nya ang hook ng bra ko sa likod ko at tinapon din iyon nang matanggal nya na.

“God! Ford!” I tried pushing him. Nakita ko na bukas ang pinto. Umuwi na ang mga kasambahay pero paano kung may makakita sa amin?

“Please.” He grunted.

Hinubad nya na rin ang jacket at t-shirt nya. Napalunok na lang ako nang makita ko ang kahubdan nya. Kinuha nya ang mga kamay ko at dinala sa sinturon ng pantalon nya.

“P-pero..” I want this, but I am hesitating because it’s him.

“Do it.” Mahinang sabi nya.

Nagkusa ang mga kamay ko na tanggalin ang belt nya. I unbuttoned his pants next and opened his fly. Napalunok ako nang si Ford na ang nagkusang hubarin iyon. We’re both half naked but he’s in his birthday suit now.

Sunod syang nagging busy sa paghubad ng suot kong shorts. I looked like a fool just letting him do what he wants, but I am overpowered by lust. Nagkalat ang mga damit namin kung saan at kapwa na kami hubad.

His c**k is just like what I remembered; long, big and beautiful. I looked up to him. We’re already both panting. The glisten of his precumin his head is very visible.

Tiningala ko sya at nakita ko ang pagngisi nya bago sya ulit pumatong sa akin at hinalikan ako.Agad na tumama ang kahandaan nya sa p********e ko. I’m so damn horny for him.

He rubbed his raging c**k into my wet folds and it felt like ecstacy.

“Oh.. F-ford.” I shivered. Humigpit ang yakap ko sa leeg nya.

Mula sa dibdib ko ay naglakbay pababa ang kamay nya hanggang sa maabot nya ang gitna ko. His fingers played my clit. Napaliyad ako.

I have been with a few men that pleasured me, pero may kakaibang hated at init ang hawak ni Ford sa akin. Gusto ko iyon, pero ayokong aminin kahit sa sarili ko.

“I know you’d like that.” He murmured huskily and licked my earlobe.

“God!” Ungol ko nang ipasok nya na ang daliri nya. He slid it in and out habang nahuli naman ng bibig nya ang tuktok ng dibdib ko. He was sucking and licking my n*****s at nakatingin pa sya sa akin habang ginagawa iyon.

He pulled his finger. I looked at him at naramdaman ko na ang ulo ng kahandaan nya na papasok na sa akin. He then put his fingers into his mouth and licked my juice.

I felt like something exploded inside me. f**k it’s so hot!

He started thrusting in and out. Our bodies slapping at each other.

“f**k baby you’re still so tight.” He moaned.

Pabilis ng pabilis ang paghinga namin kasabay sa mabilis nyang paglabas pasok sa akin. My walls clenched around him and we convulsed together while he’s holding me tight.
