Agape's Karma

X - Cravings

I laughed after hearing what he said. He wants us to be each other's booty call?

Pumiglas ako mula sa pagkakahawak niya at tinapik ang kaniyang pisngi nang pabiro.

“In your dreams, Mr. Luna.” sagot ko.

Tumaas ang kilay niya sa akin pero hindi ako pinigilan na lumayo sa kaniya. Huminga ako nang malalim at nagkunwaring tumitingin sa aking computer.

“So, ano nga ang ginagawa mo rito? You came here just to ask me kung kumain na ba ako?” I mocked him.

Binasa niya ang ibabang labi niya.

“Not only that. I also asked you to be my f**k buddy.” he calmly said.

Umirap ako. I did not know kung bakit ganito siya ka-persistent. I stopped looking at my computer screen and focused on him.

Now, that he’s here, I could hitch a ride home. Sobra ang pagod ko sa araw na ito. I could order Japanese food and sleep. Sinabit ko ang aking coat sa hanger at tiningnan siya.

“Since you’re here, can I go home with you? I want to sit on my couch and order Japanese foods.” I directly said.

He shrugged but he stood up.

I got it kaya naman kinuha ko ang aking bag. I opened the door. I saw Hennessy on the nurse’s station. Lumaki ang mga mata ko lalo na at napansin ko na tinuro ng nurse ang opisina ko. I immediately closed my door at tinulak si Agape sa kaniyang dibdib.

He was so confused. Mabilis ko siyang tinulak papunta sa banyo.

“What the hell?” he asked me.

Hindi ako mapakali at nilagay ang daliri ko sa kaniyang bibig. I heard footsteps.

“Don’t make a noise.” banta ko at sinara na ng tuluyan ang pintuan ng toilet.

Kumatok si Hennessy gaya ng inaasahan ko. Nagkunwari naman ako na may ginagawa sa aking table.

Dinungaw niya ako at hindi siya pumasok. He’s still wearing his coat.

“Are you going home?” tanong niya.

Kumunot ang noo ko.

“W-What?”

He rose his eyebrow and looked at me weirdly.

“You do not wear your coat anymore. I suppose you’re going home?” pag-uulit niya.

Napanganga ako.

“Uuwi na ako.” sagot ko sa kaniya.

Pumasok na siya nang tuluyan sa opisina ko. Bigla akong kinabahan doon. I sneaked a glance at where Agape’s hiding. Mabuti naman at sinunod niya ako.

“Good timing. Uuwi na rin ako. Ihatid na kita? I will just put some things in my office.” sabi niya na agad kong inilingan.

I cannot leave Agape here!

“Uh… I have to meet some friends and sa kabilang direksyon iyon.” I said.

Kumunot ang noo ni Hennessy sa akin.

“Are you okay? You do not have friends, Germ. May tinatago ka ba?” tanong ni Hennessy at mas lumapit sa akin.

He looked at my office. Agad akong tumawa para hindi siya maghinala. Hindi naman ganoong kalaki ang opisina ko para hindi niya makita si Agape. Four or five steps to the toilet, he will see Agape there.

“No. I have kaya! Marami akong kaibigan, Hennessy. Mga college classmate, ganoon.” I reasoned out.

Ito ang unang pagkakataon na nagsinungaling ako sa kanila. I never do this at all dahil hindi ako marunong magsinungaling. Pranka akong tao kaya sa oras na magsinungaling ako, it would be too obvious. I just cannot say that I have a famous businessman hiding on my office toilet.

“Are you okay?” naalarmang tanong ni Hennessy at sinubukan akong hawakan sa noo.

Umiwas ako at iniwas ang kaniyang kamay sa aking noo.

“Okay… I have a date tonight. He will pick me up and we will eat somewhere. Okay na ba, Hennie?” I asked.

Well, I cannot think of any alibi anymore. At least hindi iyon malayo sa katotohanan. I will ride Agape’s Camaro and I will eat. Iyon lang din kasi ang naiisip ko para hindi na magtanong si Hennessy sa akin.

“Okay. Can I wait for him? Para makilala ko kung sino.” he said and grinned at me.

Umiling ako.

“Of course, not. This is the only chance that I might have a boyfriend, Hennie. And I do not want you to mess it.” saway ko.

Saglit na nag-isip si Hennessy at sa huli ay tumango rin. He tapped on my shoulders and looked me in the eye.

“If something happens, call me. Ako na bahala bumugbog sa ka-date mo. Just keep your cell open.” bilin niya.

I nodded to end our talk. Umalis din siya sa opisina ko. Nakahinga ako nang saraduhan ko ang pintuan. Ni-lock ko iyon at pinagkrus ang aking mga braso. I looked at the toilet door.

“Puwede ka nang lumabas.” I said.

As if on cue, bumukas ang pintuan ng aking toilet. Lumabas roon ang nakangising si Agape. He leaned on the door framed and smirked at me.

“So, I am your date, huh?” tanong niya.

I rolled my eyes.

“Iyon lang ang naiisip ko. Shut up.” I groaned.

Kinuha ko ang bag. He’s now standing in front of me, waiting me to go out.

“Let’s go.” I said and walked out.

I felt anxious the whole time I was with him on the elevator. Mabilis ang lakad ko noong nasa basement na. He pushed his car remote to open his white Camaro. Umupo ako sa passenger seat at sinuot ang seat belt.

We drove out of the hospital. Tahimik ang biyahe at tanging mga ingay mula sa sasakyan ang naririnig. I did not bother ask him to play music. Sinandal ko ang noo ko at nagsimula nang mag-check sa aking cellphone ng mga restaurant na nag-offer ng delivery.

“What are you going to eat?” he asked.

“I am craving for Japanese food but there’s no Japanese restaurants available at this time.” I answered and scrolled again.

Iyon lang ang cravings ko. I put my phone down. I will just reheat kung anuman ang natirang niluto ni Hennessy kaninang umaga.

“You did not order?” tanong ni Agape.

Umiling ako at pumikit. The more that I am comfortable sitting on his car, mas naiisip ko na matulog na lamang pagkauwi ko.

“No. I just eat whatever’s in my unit. I am so tired that I might sleep na lang.” sagot ko.

Nanatili akong nakapikit hanggang sa condo. Agape’s not even talking to me. Panay lamang ang text sa kaniyang cellphone. I did not bother, too. Tumunog ang elevator sa floor ko. I groaned and looked at him.

“Thanks for the ride. Good night.” I bid him goodbye.

I immediately went to shower. The hot shower did the trick again. I felt my muscles relaxed. I hummed and enjoyed the water. I stayed there until my fingers were wrinkly like a plum. Lumabas ako at sinuot ang aking bathrobe.

I dried my hair when I heard my door opened. I turned off the hair dryer and looked at who’s now rummaging through my cupboard.

“Ano ang ginagawa mo rito?” I asked.

I saw the now fresh from the shower, Agape Luna, preparing plates and utensils.

“Just sit down.” he ordered and continued fixing a container from a famous restaurant here in Manila.

Kumunot ang noo ko at lumapit. Did he…

“You ordered Japanese foods?” tanong ko.

He nodded and opened the containers.

“I craved Japanese food when you said earlier. So, I asked my secretary to buy some. I don’t know what you liked. I told him to order all.” saad niya.

Nakita ko ang iba’t-ibang dishes na naroon. It was so many that I think labis-labis iyon para sa aming dalawa. Sa dami noong putahe kahit pa tig-isang serving lang iyon, para pa rin kaming may party.

“I will just change to my pajamas.” sabi ko.

Umiling siya.

“Just eat like that. Tayo lang naman.” sabi niya.

Sa sinabi niyang iyon, my brows totally shot up. I looked maliciously at him pero wala siyang reaksyon. Sumunod na lang ako. I am really hungry right now. Umupo ako sa stool at ganoon rin ang ginawa niya

“Ang dami naman nito.” I said.

He separated the chopsticks and gave it to me. Kumuha ako ng sushi at agad na kinain iyon. Umungol ako. It tasted like what I’ve imagined.

Tumingin siya sa akin. I gave her a thumbs up. I scanned the food. I even saw a Caviar. Oh my god! Ang expensive nito.

He ate, too.

“You’re really craving it, huh?” he asked amusingly.

I drank water and answered him.

“I was in a ten-hour operation. I could tell you; I could even eat a whole tuna.” I exaggerated.

“Thank you for sharing it to me. But did you hack me, again?” I asked.

He smiled.

“You worked hard enough today. You deserve this.” he said.

We were enjoying our food when I felt him touching my half-exposed thighs. Bumagal ang pagnguya ko. I felt electricity there. It was not a good idea since air-conditioned ang buong unit. Ang mainit niyang kamay, talaga namang ramdam na ramdam ko sa malamig kong balat.

“M-Mr. Luna,” I tried to stop him when he caressed me more.

I am so tired; I cannot have thoughts to do s****l thing or magsisisi na naman ako bukas. Iyon ang dumadaloy sa isipan ko.

I groaned when his finger grazed my lacy panty. Tumingin ako sa mga mata niyang seryoso na nakatitig sa amin. It was like the ceasefire ended between us. I swallowed and stifled a groan.

Mas lalo akong sinilaban lalo na at nanatili lang siyang nakatingin sa akin, hindi nagsasalita o anuman. He’s communicating with me using his finger, and his eyes.

“Moan for me,” he finally whispered.

His calloused palm’s heat radiated on my private part.

As like a servant serving his master, I obliged. I let a moan because he’s driving me real crazy.

Mas lalo lang akong nahirapan. I was battling with myself. My mind saying this is suicide if I let him, samantalang ang katawan ko, sumisigaw na hawakan niya ako sa kahit na anong parte ng aking katawan.

“M-Mr. Luna,” I called him.

He smirked at me, his eyes blaring with so much desire.

“Hmmm, Doc?” he teased me.

He pulled me softly. He turned the stool onto his direction to make me face him. It was a swift move that it even impressed me. His arms held my now arching back because he’s entered my panties and now making circular motions.

I was soaking wet. With his abilities, I know that he can do that in minutes without trying hard. I touched his flexed arm that’s holding me from falling down the floor. His finger’s movement died down, he’s now teasing.

“Gosh,” I groaned.

He’s watching every reaction from me.

“Hmmm? What do you want now, Doc?” he asked teasingly.

Lasing akong tumingin sa kaniya. I want him to just do what he needs to do and stop teasing me there.

“Stop teasing me. Just do it.” I shamelessly said.

“What?” he asked, acting like he did not hear me at all.

I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip.

“I want you, please…” I begged.

He smiled wilder and wider like he won.

As I thought that he would do it because I begged him, he stopped. He pulled out his finger and removed his touch on my body. I tugged on the hem of my bathrobe as I watched him went to the kitchen sink. He watched his hands and faced me.

“What the heck was that? Bakit ka tumigil?” I asked, hindi alam kung bakit ganoon siya.

“I’ve made up my mind. I won’t do anything until you said ‘yes’ to me, Doc.” he said and grinned, “Now, if you need me, just knock on my door.” he continued and went out of my unit.

Naiwan akong nakatulala roon.

Did I just beg him to do me? And worst of all, he refused my plea. He turned the table upside down by what he did. It turned out to be the way that I wanted him more than he wanted me.

Damn it, Agape Luna. You freaking jerk!
