Children of Bridgetines II Raven

Chapter 4

Raven | The Esplanade

Nagising akong mataas na ang sikat ng araw. Medyo masakit ang ulo ko. Sa puyat.

Humilata ako ng higa at napabalikwas ng maalala ang kagabi. Dahan dahan kong ibinaling ang mata ko sa gilid at tiningnan ang kagabi ay hinigaan nya.

Mukhang wala na akong katabi. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

Nagcheck ako ng phone ko.

May bagong gawang page ang Kings & Queens ngayon sa social media at patok yun sa mga regulars nila. At dahil madalas ako doon, follow and support the page na rin ako.

Nakapost kung sino ang bandang tutugtog every week, daily deals and specials or new menu alerts — mga ganun. Once a month meron din silang feature ng Hottest King & Queen of the month. No names dropped.

Namilog ang mata ko sa nakita ko.

What the f*ck?!

That's me and Rich sitting in the couch — talking no kissing or sitting on his lap. Just talking. He had the side of his lip turned up while I was giggling. Candid moment captured — indeed!

I saved the picture.

I got up, washed my face and brushed my teeth. Dahil may kasama ako dito sa bahay ay napilitan ako magbra sa pagtulog kagabi. Kaya siguro hindi ako basta makatulog agad sanay ang katawan ko ng sando at pyjama lang na silk, paborito ko yun malambot ang tela. Tinanggal ko na ang bra ko.

Hindi na ako nag abalang magsuklay at lumabas ng kwarto. Ang unit ko ay isang level lang pero mas malawak sa usual 1 bedroom unit. Para akong zombie na naglakad at halos ayaw ko pa din imulat ang mata ko dahil sobrang liwanag na ng araw sa labas.

Gagawa sana ako ng kape ng makitang may freshly brewed coffee doon tapos may nagsalita sa gilid at hinanap ko ang pinanggalingan ng boses.

"You're still here??!" Gulat na sabi ko

"Good morning to you too." Lumakad sya palapit sa akin.

Napairap ako "Good morning Richard Slater Sanz." I googled him — that's his full name.

Narinig ko syang mahinang tumawa. "Did you google me or you asked Hunter?"

Hindi ko sinagot ang tanong nya at umupo sa barstool sa may kitchen island at inilapat ang pisngi ko sa malamig na quartz countertop.

Nilapag nya ang tasa ng umuusok na kape sa harap ko. "You wanted coffee right?"

Hindi rin ako nagpasalamat pero ininom ko at nangalahati agad. Ibinaba ko ang tasa. Ako naman bumili nito eh, sya lang gumawa. Sa ibang pagkakataon magpapasalamat ako pero may atraso pa sya sa akin kaya patas lang kami. May tinanong sya at sinagot ko naman, tungkol sa kape.

Ipinatong nya ang mga siko nya sa counter dito sa gilid ko. Ramdam ko ang mainit nyang hinga sa mukha ko at may init akong nararamdaman sa pagitan ng aking mga hita. F*ck! Sya lang ang nakakapagbigay ng ganitong pakiramdam sa akin.

In broad daylight.

"Why did you sleep in my bed?"

"The couch is uncomfortable, hindi ako kasya."

Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay "Beggars can't be choosers."

He gave me a smug look. "I'm no beggar and you know it."

He's right. His family is very rich. But he also made his first million at age 18. He went to Oxford with Kuya Hunt and graduated with Latin honours. Both skipped a couple grades too.

Talagang matalino. Gwapo pa.

"What are you doing today?"

"Bakit mo tinatanong?" Sa totoo lang ay wala. Ang mga magulang ko ay feeling honeymoon nag out of town sila. Habang buhay daw nila bubunuin ang 6 na taong nagkawalay sila. Romantic ng parents ko hindi ba?

"Wala naman.."  inusog nya ang kape ko palayo sa akin at pumunta  sa may likuran ko tapos inikot ang barstool na inuupuan ko. 

Tumitig sa mukha ko.

"Has anyone told you how beautiful you are?" Napalunok ako. Hindi ko kayang salubungin ang tingin nya. Tumango na lang ako bilang sagot sa tanong nya.

"How many? Madami?" Tumango ako.  Waaah! Ako ang mapapanisan ng laway sa ginagawa nya sa akin. Nakita ko syang mahinang napamura.

Ang sunod nyang ginawa ay nagpagulat sa akin. Binuhat nya ako at iniupo sa ibabaw ng island. At sya ang naupo sa bar stool na inuupuan ko kanina. Nasa pagitan sya ng mga hita ko ngayon at nakasalikop ang braso sa baywang ko.

"Lean over." Ang lakas ng t***k ng puso ko. Parang gustong kumawala sa dibdib ko.

Matyaga syang naghintay ng ilang segundo saka ko ginawa ang gusto nya. "Now what?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Just.. a little.. bit.. more.." parang may mahika ang pagsasalita nya at sinunod ko naman ng salubungin nya ako ng labi nya.

His kiss was so soft.. so gentle.. and he's taking his sweet time. Taking a little bit of air when he needs to and sucks my lower lip every now and then. His tongue -- it tastes like mint, and it's searching and licking every corner inside my mouth. He captured my tongue and sucked it that it made me moan. His hands are still resting at the back of my waist. When his lips left my mouth, he gave me a gentle bite on my chin. I can feel his heavy breathing and he buried his head just above my breast — I thought he was done but his face moved lower.. slowly.. slowly.. until I felt his warm breath as he suck my nips still with fabric on. It's my favourite tank top and because I wear it all the time it's now so thin — almost see through. My hand automatically went to his head and run my fingers to his hair. "Oooh Richard.. that feels.. soooo... good. Ahhh!" He lightly bit it and sucked it again one more time and did the same to the other one to give it equal flattery.

Then he stopped and hugged me so tight as he buried his face in the middle of my two breasts, as if trying to control himself.

"If I don't stop now, I'll be taking something that's yours and I can't give it back." He said.

Then he looked up and caressed my face. He said to me "Go to your bedroom and lock the door. Don't go out until you hear the front door shut."

Tumayo sya mula sa pagkakaupo at binuhat ako at pinatapak sa sahig. I saw his eyes full of hunger and --was it lust I see?

He kissed my forehead and whispered "Go."

I couldn't move. Para akong itinulos sa kinatatayuan ko. I want him but he's telling me to leave.

"Raven -- now." parang nakikiusap ang boses nya

I left and did what he asked.

I went to my bedroom and locked the door.

I heard the front door shut after a few minutes. 

Richard

I saw her walked out from her room with her eyes half shut, disheveled hair -- and no bra! F*ck! Mahina akong napamura.

F*ck! She's a f*cking temptress! I felt myself go hard and tried to control myself. Come on man, makisama ka naman. She's not finish with school yet. 

And when she is -- what then?

Pero narinig nya siguro ang mahina kong mura kanina at nakita nya ako.

"You're still here??!" I heard her say.

So I greeted her back.

"Good morning to you too." Pakiramdam ko ay tinatamad syang kumuha ng kape kaya umupo. The gracious host that I am -- Hoy! Nakalimutan mo na ba hindi mo 'to bahay? Gracious host ka dyan!

Ikinuha ko sya ng kape.

"How do you take your coffee?" Tanong ko sa kanya

Uminom sya ng kape at ng ibaba ang tasa, sinagot nya ang tanong ko. "On a day like this after gigs, I take my coffee black. On a usual school day, 1 milk no sugar."

School day 1 milk no sugar otherwise black when up late from gigs. I'll remember that.

She looked mesmerizing even in the morning kahit gulo gulo ang buhok. Kaya naman pinatong ko ang siko ko sa counter at pinagsawa ko ang mata ko sa mukha nya. She looked like she was thinking about something. Could it be the fact that I fell asleep on her bed last night?

"Why did you sleep in my bed?"

Sabi ko nga ba -- yun ang iniisip nya.

Nagpaliwanag naman ako. Totoong hindi ako kasya. And her bed looks comfier. I fell asleep instantly.

Sa totoo lang ngayon lang ako natulog sa kama na may katabing babae na walang mahalay na nangyari. That's a first for me. Hindi ko na nga alam kung anong nangyayari sa akin. Kahit noong mahiga sya sa tabi ko, kuntento na akong yakap sya.

Katulad na lang kagabi, nasa kotse na ako ni Hunt at palabas na kami pero pinauna ko sya at sinabing magtataxi na lang ako. Ang hudas, laging pinapaalala sa akin na nasa school pa ang babaeng ito at patapusin ko muna daw bago ko pakasalan. Bakuran ko na lang daw para hindi na makuha ng iba saka pinaharurot ang sasakyan ng asawa nya.

Kaya ng makita ko sya kagabi na lumabas mag isa ng club, nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Akala ko may mababalian na ako. Kaibigan nya lang daw yung Nate. Pero mukha namang may gusto sa kanya. Ayaw ibigay ang apelyido.

Tapos ayaw ipadrive sa akin ang kotse nya. Alam kong pagod sya sa pagdrums. Parehas ni Nikki walang hahawak ng manibela ng auto nila. Pero mas malala, dahil wala pang pinapasakay sa kotse nya. Ako pa lang ang unang makakasakay. Kaya nangiti ako dahil akala ko kanina talagang iiwan nya ako at pasasakayin ng taxi.

Hmmm. Does that mean she hasn't made out with anyone inside her car? Well, that's good. I'll be the first.

Tinanong ko sya kanina kung anong gagawin nya ngayon dahil gusto ko sana syang ayain na lumabas. Nothing fancy. Movie and lunch? Bilang thank you sa pagpatulog nya sa akin kagabi dito sa unit nya.

Pero nagsusungit na agad — she looked cute while saying bakit mo tinatanong?

I complemented how beautiful she is. At ng tanungin ko kung ilan na ang nagsabi sa kanya na maganda sya ay tumango sya — bilang sagot sa tanong ko kung madami. Mahina akong napamura, madami daming dila ang puputulin ko.

Kaya hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko at lumapit ako sa kanya. Her f*cking nips have been waving at me since she came out of her room and I can't hold it any longer.

I didn't want to scare her so I kissed her gently as much as I could and I felt she how much she liked it. I didn't even dare move my hands away from her back. If I start touching her I'll lose it.

I only planned to kiss her but her nips — there's something in it. I had bigger ones but hers seems just perfect for my hands if only I can cup it.

Just a taste Rich -- then you have to stop yourself.

I sucked it with her thin shirt on which made me more ache for her.

When I stopped, her eyes looked dazed and it's silently saying she wants more and I can't give it to her -- not yet anyway.

So I asked her to go to her room and lock the door and not to come out until I shut the front door.

Wala na akong tiwala sa sarili ko at baka hindi ko na kayang pigilan kapag nagtagal pa ako dito.

A lot of firsts today. Sa iba iba, kanina pa walang damit ang kahalikan ko.

But Raven is different — she's a baby. My baby.

So I'll wait.

Once you get off that stage, I'm making you mine.

Heart, body, mind and soul.
