The Pregnancy Contract

Chapter B.2

Chapter B.2

"Will you stop that?!" Hinampas ko ang kamay ni Fireus when he kept on touching the apex of my thighs. For Pete's sake, he's driving habang hinahawakan niya ang private part ko! I slapped his hand again when he touched me again. I gave him a death glare. "Stop it! Naka-score ka na sa akin after I took a bath!" singhal ko as I get my bag and placed it on my lap. Geez! Umagang-umaga nanggu—Napasinghap ako nang instantly he touched my left breast. "Ano ba?! Nagda-drive ka! 'Wag mo nga 'kong minamanyak, Fireus!" My gods, I don't know what to do with him anymore. Kung ganito lang pala ang gagawin ni Fireus habang nagda-drive siya at minamanyak niya ako, I should have sit in the back seat.

Binatukan ko nga nang tumawa siya.

"Aray! Masakit!" Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin.

"Baka mabunggo tayo, gago!" I sided his head to focus more on his driving. Baka maging kasalanan ko pa kapag nabangga kami. "Bullshit!" I cussed when he touched my breast again. "Fireus!" I yelled his name. Bwisit eh! Minamanyak na ako! "Ipapa-blotter kita sa pagiging manyak mo!" Siniksik ko ang sarili ko sa gilid and covered all my private parts just to keep them away from the hands of Fireus.

"Really? Ipapa-blotter mo 'ko? Tsk! Hindi kita nire-rape, Cejay," he said, not looking at me then later on, humalakhak siya.

I narrowed my eyes. "Pero minamanyak mo 'ko!" Gagong 'to. Sarap hambalusin, eh.

I saw him rolled his eyes. Tapos ay lumingon siya sa akin. "I've touched. I've seen. I've tasted. I've licked. I've been marked your body as mine. Hindi kita minamanyak na gaya ng sinabi mo. Blame yourself because I can't get my hands off you," he says and smirked.

"At kasalanan ko pa talaga! Magaling! Magaling!" Sarcasm is all over my voice. Damn him! Why is he putting all the blames to me? That he can't get his hands off him? Tamang rason ba 'yon? Nangba-badtrip ba 'tong lalakeng 'to?! At bakit umiinit ang paligid? Geez! May aircon naman dito.

"Oo. Kasalanan mo." I snorted to his statement. I want to cuss series of expletives because of him. Minsan inuubos ni Fireus ang pasensiya ko. Kaya nga hindi kami magkasundo dati.

The whole ride makes me sick but it's fine. I just ignored the heat I was feeling. And the atmosphere was like sickening me. Ang init eh kahit na may aircon na. Hindi na ako kumontra sa mga sinasabi ni Fireus. Baka nga masapak ko ng wala sa oras. Tsk. And I haven't noticed that I have slept. Namalayan ko na lang na nasa destinasyon na kami nang ginising ako ni Fireus.

Lumabas na ako sa kotse. I yawned and stretched my arms. I froze nang malaglag ang tingin ko sa isang malaking bahay. "Whoa!" I whistled while examining the seven-story house. Blue and white ang pintura ng buong bahay. It looks like a mansion! "Kaninong bahay 'to?" maang na tanong ko saka lumingon ako kay Fireus na nasa tabi ko na.

"Sa amin ng kapatid ko. Shall we?" Nilahad niya ang palad niya sa harap ko.

Bigla akong may naalala. "Are you sure ipapakilala mo ako sa mga kapatid mo? What if they ask what is our relationship? Anong sasabihin ko?" I asked. Hell, I care for what is our status right now. Baka mawalan ng respect ang mga kapatid niya if they know na he is my s*x partner. That he is my sperm donor.

Fireus chuckled. Anong nakakatawa na naman sa sinabi ko? Naku! Kung hindi ko lang kailangan ang lalakeng 'to, he must be dead already. "Ang paranoid mo, Cejay. Don't worry. Akong bahala sa'yo. Don't you trust me?" He took my hand and started pull me when he starts walking.

I twitched my lips. "I don't trust you that much." I said and rolled my eyes.

Tumawa lamang siya. I rolled my eyes again. Bigla akong nalula sa laki ng bahay lalo na nung nakapasok na kami.

"Wow! Ang laki naman ng bahay niyo!" Hindi ko maiwasang mamangha. All the corners of their house were very much appealing to my sight. I clutched to his arm gently and gaped to the ceiling. Whoa! May painting sa ceiling! Astig! There is a chandelier hanging there, too.

Gods, ang yaman pala ng lalakeng 'to. I didn't know that he has this kind of house.

The curtains are white. All furniture is new. And... Argh! Hindi ako marunong magdescribe ng isang bahay! I don't know all the details of his house. Basta ang masasabi ko lang. European-inspired mansion siya.

"Have a sit, Cejay. Tatawagin ko lang ang mga kapatid ko." Tumango ako and I feel myself home as I sat down in their couch. "Wait." I looked at him when he is half on his way to the stairs. "You want anything? Water, coffee, juice, or me?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

I c****d my brow. He is asking me what I want. Anything. So, may option at ang walang hiya, kasama siya. Nahagip ng mata ko ang remote control ng tv nila. I took it. "Alam mo, Fireus. Ang sarap mong batuhin nito," sabi ko and showed to him that I am going to throw it off to him the remote control. "Is it right that you put yourself to be one of the options I want?"

"Bakit? Ayaw mo ba?" Mas lalong tumaas ang kilay ko. Tumaas din ang kilay ni Fireus. "Are you going to deny it? C'mon!"

"You little s**t, ang hangin mo din noh." Bwisit 'to. He's talking nonsense. Should I throw it off the remote control to him? Right now? Nakakapanggigil! "I want glass of water!" Pabagsak akong sumandal sa couch.

"We're going to talk after this, Cejay. Yaya, glass of water nga po para sa maganda kong bisita!"

I just kept on shaking my head. Nambola pa ang walang hiya. Instead of I should have switched their tv, nilibot ko na lamang ang mga mata ko sa ceiling ng mansion. May nakapaint na puro angels, it painted like they are flying freely and no hindrance come over to them.

Napalingon ako nang may nagpatong ng glass of water sa coffee table. I gaped to find that it's their maid. She greets me with a smile.

"Young miss, ito na po 'yong baso na may tubig na pinapasabi ni Sir." She's a middle-aged woman.

Ngumiti ako. "Thank you po," I said politely. She smiled at me again before she went away. Uminom ako ng tubig kasi I felt my mouth parched. Pagbaba ko ng baso, my eyes automatically fell from those five guys who were going downstairs.

My jaw dropped. T-Totoo ba 'tong nakikita ko? Magkakamukha silang lahat?!! And the utmost importance is kamukha nilang lima si Fireus!

I stood up in no time. Nasaan si Fireus sa kanilang lima?

Kahit nung nakalapit na silang lima sa akin, hindi ako makagalaw. And they are so pathetic! Why are they wearing the same clothes and the same color of shirt na katulad sa suot ni Fireus kanina?! How would I suppose to know who is the real Fireus? And I realized they are quintuplet.

"You must be Cejay," said one of the quintuplet na kamukha ni Fireus.

"Uh... y-yeah," I said unsurely. Gods, 'yong boses nitong lalakeng kamukha ni Fireus, kapareho din kay Fireus. But his voice is more likely serious na siyang kayang gawin ni Fireus. "Uhm... which one of you is Fireus?"

Para akong tanga. Sobrang tanga. Tiningnan ko sila isa-isa. I have noticed that they have the same haircut like Fireus. May pagkakulot. Mababaliw na ako sa limang ito ngayon palang.

They all look to each other with their eyebrow c***s then their eyes fell back to me.

"Pwede mong hulaan kung sino sa amin si Fireus," sabi nung isa pa.

On that statement, I slowly frowned and gave them my entire death glare. Pinagkakatuwaan na nila ako base sa pagtingin nila sa akin. I twitched my lips as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"This is not funny anymore, Fireus." I gave them each a glance, assuming na baka isa sa kanila ay si Fireus.

Sa sinabi kong 'yon, ngumiti silang lima. Damn! The usual smile of the jerk.

A theory came over in my head. "Don't tell me... mga kapatid kayo ni Fireus?"

"Yes. At kakambal din namin siya," sabay sabi nilang lima.

Wow! Halata naman. Ang bobo mo talaga minsan, Cejay, noh. Hindi ka rin marunong mag-isip.

Seryoso akong napatango, examining each of them, scrutinizing all the details of their faces.

Kamukha talaga nilang lima si Fireus. How would I suppose to know who is the real one? The real Fireus?

"Hindi kayo aamin?" Umiling silang lahat. Sinamaan ko sila ng tingin. Inuubos nila ang pasensiya ko. "You there!" Turo ko doon sa pangatlo, he pointed himself kung siya ba talaga ang sinasabihan ko. I rolled my eyes because of that. "Of course, I'm talking to you." Lumapit ako at hinila ang collar niya palapit sa akin. I gave him my lascivious smile. He smirked at me and encircled his arm on my waist.

He is not Fireus.

I'm very sure of that.

It gives me a hint lalong-lalo na nung maramdaman ko ang braso niya sa bewang ko. It didn't send tingles down to my spine like I always feel to Fireus everytime he touches me.

I faced the four identical twins of Fireus who have blank expression. "I'm going to kiss your twin, Fireus. Kung ayaw mong magpakita, bahala ka na. Siguro hindi masamang tumikim ng ibang putahe noh?" Tumingin ako sa katabi ko and I caressed his face while giving my lascivious smile. In the corner of my eye, I caught one of them reacted by clenching both of his fists. Gotcha! But I pretend I didn't notice.

"Hey, handsome, do you mind if I kiss you?"

Tumaas ang kilay niya. "I don't." I could sense this is a womanizer. Kasi halatang game na game sa tanong ko.

Nilapit ko ang mukha ko sa mukha ng lalakeng kayakap ko. "Fireus, I'm going to kiss your twin. Ugh! Nonsense! Bakit pa ako nagpapaalam, right?" He smirked, agreeing to what I said.

I pressed my lips just near to his chin. "Side your head so that he thinks I'm kissing you." Agad naman siyang sumunod at narinig ko silang napasinghap sa ginawa ng kakambal nila. That's good.

"Lol, dude. Dumadamoves ka!" sabi ng isa sa mga kambal.

Siguro sa posisyon namin ay mukhang naghahalikan na talaga kami nitong kakambal nila. But in our point of view, hindi ganoon ang nagaganap.

I smirked when someone pulled me out of our embrace. "What do you think you're doing, Cejay?" I winked his twin and so he does. I know na si Fireus ang nanghila sa akin. I could feel electricity flowed in my skin when he pulled me and spun me around. Siya talaga ang nakakapagparamdam sa akin ng ganoon. Galit na mukha ang nasalubong ko sa kanya.

Sabi na nga ba. Siya 'yong pangalawa sa huli. I rejoice mentally.

"Did you seriously kiss him?" His voice is calm yet firm.

Tumaas ang kilay kong nakatingin sa kanya. "Why? Ikaw ba 'yong totoong Fireus?" taray kong tanong. "Or was it just a trick?"

"Answer me! Hinalikan mo ba siya?" He grabbed me by my arm.

"Dude, we tend to share women. Bakit ka nagagalit?" nakangising tanong nung kakambal niyang kasama ko sa kalokohan kanina.

"Shut up, you! Hindi ikaw ang kausap ko," said Fireus firmly, still looking at me so deadly.

I only just smirked and endured the pain searing in my arm. "Are you jealous?" I copied the tone he asked me when he was in my condo.

"Damn it! Answer me!"

I gasped when he pulled me near his body.

"Answer me or I'll undress you in front of my twins," bulong niya sa tenga ko. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng kanyang hininga na siyang nagpatango sa balahibo ko sa braso.

"s**t! SPG!"

"Bro, doon nga kayo! Gago!"

I could hear his twins rant but my heart is pumping so fast which I think I can hear it lalo na ng bumaba ang kamay niya to grab my ass. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa ginawa niya.

I pushed him away from me. Nate-tempt akong halikan si Fireus at natatakot akong if I didn't able to stop myself, baka mag-s*x na lang kami ni Fireus sa harap ng mga kapatid niya.

"We didn't, okay? Tss. Ang paranoid mo," irap ko as I rolled my eyes. I felt myself blushed and swear, Fireus smiled greedily.

Sinikmuraan ko nga siya. Bwisit eh. Sometimes, I found Fireus the most annoying person in the world.

"Guys, I want you to meet, Cejay," pakilala sa akin ni Fireus sa apat niyang kakambal na nakangisi sa aming dalawa. I knotted my forehead when I felt his arm draped in my shoulder. Medyo kinakabahan ako kung ano ang paano niya ako ipapakilala sa mga kapatid niya. "She's my friend."

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag sa sinabi niya. Pwede na siguro 'yon.

"And these are my colossal twins. He's..."

Lumapit 'yong isang kambal niya sa akin and grabbed my hand. "Hey, beautiful lady! My name's Airius. Nice to meet you." He kissed the back of my hand. I found the gesture sweet kaya napangiti ako.

Ito namang si Fireus. Umepal. Tinanggal ba naman 'yong kamay ni Airius na nasa kamay ko.

"Stay away, Hangin!" Fireus growled.

Airius just winked at me. Ngumiti ako.

"I'm Aquarius. Your handsome knight."

Muntik na akong mapa-'ah'. So, his name is Aquarius. Siya 'yong hinila ko and helped me to make a scheme para malaman ko kung sino sa kanila si Fireus.

"Hello there, handsome knight."

"Lumayo ka nga sa kanya, Tubig. Baka hindi kita matantya," sabi naman ni Fireus as he protected me with his arms surrounding at me.

Aquarius rolled his eyes. "We tend to share women, Apoy."

"Not anymore," said Fireus.

Hindi ko mapigilang iikot ang mga mata ko. Pathetic, Fireus! Hinampas ko ang mga braso niya. Sobrang epal, eh. I want to meet all of them.

"Earthius is my name. My pleasure to meet you, Cejay."

Tinanggap ko ang kamay ni Earthius and we shook our hands in a formal way. This Earthius guy has severe-looking. Mukhang laging mainit ang ulo gaya ni Fireus.

"I'm pleased."

I glared to Fireus' last twin na mukhang walang balak magpakilala sa akin. Looks like he is shy.

"I-I'm Metalius," nahihiyang sabi niya na inilahad ang kanyang kamay sa akin.

I took it and I shook our hands. "Cejay," sabi ko.

I looked at them one by one. And memorized their names.

Airius... itsurang happy-go-lucky at pasaway.

Aquarius... isang womanizer base sa ginawa namin kanina. Marunong sumakay sa scheming scene ko.

Earthius... mukhang terror teacher noong college ako.

Lastly, si Metalius. Mahiyain.

Si Fireus? Nah. I don't want to describe him. Nakakawalang-gana.

"Does your parents name you all as five elements of the earth?" tanong ko kay Fireus nang mawala na ang mga kapatid niya at pumunta sa kusina.

"Uh-huh. Isn't it weird?"

Ngumiti ako. "It's cool. You know." He shrugged. At hinila na niya ako papunta sa kusina nila. "Why? Don't you find it cool? And amazing?" He didn't answer. Inignora na lamang niya ako.

I slightly pouted my lips. Ang cool ng names nila.

Water, earth, fire, air, and metal. Those are the five elements of the earth.

Aquarius as water.

Earthius as earth.

Fireus as fire.

Airius as air.

And, Metalius as metal.

"So, you're Cejay, Apoy is talking about," panimula ni Earthius while sipping his cup of tea.

Muntik na akong matawa sa sinabi niya. Apoy? So, they call Fireus as apoy? Sa bagay. Pwede rin.

"Fireus is telling stories about me?" taas-kilay kong tanong na napatingin ako kay Fireus. He just shrugged his shoulders. Ibinalik ko ang tingin kay Earthius. "Ano naman ang mga kwinekwento niya?" Does Fireus have told them about my contract? Pwede ko na ba siyang patayin?

"Apoy said, you're s-special," said Metalius.

"Shut up, Bakal! Wala akong sinabing ganyan."

Inignora ko lang si Fireus nang kutusin niya ang kapatid niyang si Metalius.

But my brow c****d to what he said. Special? Special child? Special bedmate?

"You're a tiger that needs to be tamed," said Airius as he shrugged. "Sadista ka rin daw." Sumingkit ang mga mata ko sa narinig ko.

A tiger needs to be tamed? Sadista?

Lumingon kay Fireus.

"Hoy! I didn't say that! Wala akong sinasabing ganoon, Cejay!" defensive na sabi ni Fireus habang marahas na umiiling.

"Ano pa?" tanong ko. I didn't look at them but to Fireus.

"You're a nagger, too." Sabi naman ni Aquarius.

"Nagger, huh?"

"I didn't say that! I tell you!"

"And a hard-headed one. Nakakatakot ka daw kapag nagagalit. You're beautiful. And... very sexy," patuloy ni Aquarius.

"Shut up, Tubig! Keep your mouth shut! Nilalagay mo sa peligro ang buhay ko! Look she's holding the kitchen knife! Bakit niyo nilagay diyan?! f**k!" Tumakbo na palabas ng dining area si Fireus bago pa ako makatayo at habulin siya together with the knife I am holding.

I took a breath and put down the knife. Pasimple kong sinimsim ang juice habang pinapakalma ko ang sarili ko. He will be dead sooner or later.

"Wow! Ngayon lang natakot si Apoy ng ganun. Looks like he had found his match, huh."

"Huh?" nalilito kong tanong sa sinabi ni Airius. "What do you mean?"

"Wala pa kasing tumatahi sa kalokohan ni Apoy. And also, how talkative he is. Ikaw pa lang ang nakakapagpaamo sa kanya," sagot ni Metalius sa tanong ko.

"Are you hearing yourselves? Halos maubos ang pasensiya ko sa kakambal niyo. Aba! Mas makulit pa siya sa makulit. At mas bwisit siya sa lahat ng mga bwisit."

They all laughed except Earthius.

"What's your whole name pala?" asked Aquarius.

Kinuha ko sa bag ko 'yong calling card ko. And I showed it to them.

"How do you pronounce your second name?" Si Earthius ang nagtanong.

"It's seer-sha."

"But... S-A-O-I-R-S-E ang spelling ng second name mo," sabi ni Airius.

"Siguro isang Irish name 'yan. Am I right, Cejay?"

I nodded my head to Metalius. "Yes, you are right. Irish name 'yan and my mom named me that."

"From what school are you when you graduated in your college years?"

Wow. Ano 'to? Job interview na ba 'to? Si Earthius na kasi ang nagtatanong.

I smiled widely to them. "I graduated as an Accountancy student from Kingfisher School of Business and Finance. And—" I was cut off when Earthius interrupted.

"That school is located in Pangasinan, right? Magaling ang mga Accountancy instructors doon."

"Yes. More on focus kami doon. Pang-business school talaga ang school na 'yon."

"I saw that it ranked in number three in the National Top Performing Schools in the October 2015 CPA Board Exam. I could say that school is amazing as they managed it to be on that rank," puri ni Earthius.

Malawak akong ngumiti sa sinabi niya. "It's something should be proud of dahil doon ako naggraduate three years ago."

They nodded their head, agreeing to me. Proud na proud ako sa school na pinaggraduate-an ko. I could say iisa lang ang building ng Kingfisher, hanggang 4th floor lang. But it was fine though. Mabuti nga maraming puno doon.

And of course, mababait ang mga students ng KSBF. Halos lahat makikilala mo doon.

And that was a part of my history.

"You know what? Mas gwapo kayong lahat kaysa kay Fireus," I said, changing the topic.

"Ows?" di-makapaniwalang tanong ni Airius.

"Oo nga. Mas gwapo kayo kaysa sa asungot na 'yon." I smirked.

"Magkakambal kami. Pareho lang kami ng looks and appearance. But on second thought, pangit naman talaga 'yang Apoy na 'yan. Sa aming lima, ako ang pinakagwapo," preskong sabi ni Aquarius.

"Nahiya kami sa'yo," nagreact si Earthius.

"Kambal kaya tayo," sabi naman ni Metalius. Aba, hindi papatalo 'tong mahiyaing ito.

"Ano na naman 'yang naririnig ko? What did you say, Tubig? Pinakagwapo ka? Dinaig mo pa si Hangin sa pagiging mahangin mo!"

I rolled my eyes when the monkey entered and sat beside me.

He draped his arm on my shoulder. "I heard what you said. Anong mas gwapo sila kaysa sa akin? Pare-pareho lang ang itsura namin!" Tiningnan ko siya ng masama.

Tingnan mo 'to, ginagawang big issue. Of course, I know that! Sadya ko talagang sinabi 'yon because I know na he is eavesdropping to us.

"Eh, ano ngayon? Is that a big deal for you?"

"Of course, it's a big deal! Hindi mo alam na mas lamang ako ng ilang paligo sa apat na kapatid ko."

"Eh sa mas gwapo ang mga kapatid mo kaysa sa'yo. For me, you're just nothing but an annoying brute."

"BOOM! Panes ka, Apoy!" sabay sabi nilang apat.

"Annoying brute?" Kumunot na ang noo ni Fireus sa akin.

"Payback is a b***h. That's for calling me 'a tiger that needs to be tamed'."

"Aww. Nainis ka ba? Damn! What's that for?!" Sinikmuraan ko nga. Bwisit eh!

I stood up. "I'm leaving," paalam ko sa apat niyang kakambal who were silently watching us. They nodded their head to me. Tumalikod na ako at nagsimulang maglakad palabas ng dining area nila.

"Where are you going?" Narinig kong sabi ni Fireus.

"To the hell where I can't see you just for a sec!" Bigla akong tumili ng binuhat ako ni Fireus na parang sako ng bigas. "Damn! Fireus, put me down! s**t ka!" I was facing his ass invertedly. I punched his back. "Di hamak na mas gwapo ang mga kapatid mo kaysa sa'yo!" I paddled my legs at narinig ko siyang napa-'aray'. Buti nga!

"That's the last thing you must said that. Mas gwapo ako sa kanila!"

"Narcissistic!" bulyaw ko. I twitched my lips, and crossed my arms against my chest. Ni hindi ko alam kung saan pupunta itong lalakeng 'to.

I wondered when he stopped from walking. Nag-angat ako ng tingin only to find out na nasa loob kami ng isang huge stain wall in every corner, and I realized, elevator pala.

May elevator sila?! Why I haven't seen it?

"Ibaba mo nga ko! Umaakyat na ang dugo ko sa ulo ko! Put me down, you little s**t!"

"I won't do that. Magtiis ka!" Napasinghap ako when he kissed my ass.

"Fireus! You're such a pervert!" Pag ako nakababa dito, he will be dead in no time. Ang bastos eh!

I felt goose bumps tingled me. Napapikit ako. "No! Don't do that, Fireus." He was teasingly touching my ass and it lowered down.

"Fireus!" I was already punching his back but it seemed he doesn't mind. "Ang manyak mo talaga!" I squaled.

With that, he is chuckling and kissed my ass once more.
