Save me

Chapter 6

I miss you

I woke up late because of Elijah's friend request. I mean what the heck right? I don't even remember telling him about my fb account. Who's he? A stalker or what? Maybe he's a hacker from FBI agency! Okay you're being stupid again Athena.

I groaned please stop thinking about him Athena. Just think about your own problem. Baka mamaya mapalayas na kami kapag hindi pa ako tumayo. So I got up from my bed and stretch my hands upward. I inhaled and exhaled after repeating that ten times I look at the door. Behind that door lies my demon named lola. You can't blame me from calling her that alright? I love her of course but not enough to suck her attitude. Siguro kung anghel ako kaya kong maging mabait kaso tao ako.

Okay here we go. As soon as I opened my door.

' Mabuti naman nagising ka na!' Lola said angrily.

Well good morning to you too lola I greeted her in my mind. At least she said good morning right? That's better I guess compare to just ignoring me.

I just said sorry and proceeded to the dining table. As I sat down she was still saying her litanies.

Not minding her I just prayed and thank the Lord for giving me a life once again. Kahit gaano kalupit ang mundo huwag na huwag mo pa ring kakalimutan ang mag pa salamat. Iniisip ko na lang na at least may pamilya ako. Focusing on the bright side of life enables me to endure every thing. The hope that there's still chance to get out from this life excites me. Kaya bakit ako susuko?

I realized that there is no food to eat even bread. So I decided to drink coffee instead but there are no stocks. I hate being poor.

Well I guess going to school with an empty stomach is not a bad thing right? Your knees will feel wiggly but you're still alive.

I stand up sighing and decided to take a bath. Lola is still reciting all of her sermons. However, I don't have the energy to feel hurt or sad anymore.

I simply felt nothing.

'Oh! San ka na naman gagala?' She asked still irritated. So ganon na pala ngayon no? Kapag naligo ka ibig sabihin non gagala ka. Where's the logic?

I am tempted to roll my eyes but stopped myself immediately.
If I still wanted a place to sleep in that is.

'Pasukan na po namin La' I answered with politeness. May natitira pa naman akong respeto sa kaniya kasi kahit papano kinupkop niya kami.

'Akala ko gagala ka na naman eh!' She accusingly said.

I just go to the bathroom and take a bath. My mind starts to wander thinking about him again.

About his whereabouts, his well-being and if he got home safely after our shameful encounter yesterday.

Did he ate breakfast?

Did he slept well?

I scoffed why do I care anyway? castigating myself. Stop bothering yourself about some strangers. Hindi porket nag friend request sayo gusto ka na! You don't even know if that account is real. Sure deny all you want my little devil boringly said. Shut up!

After I finished taking a bath, I blow-dried my hair and do my make up. Wearing a simple white tee and blue jeans I'm good to go. Bago ako umalis binigyan ko ng pambili ng pagkain si Abby. Of course, I notified my loving grandma about my departure.

Nag lalakad ako papunta sa school ng may narinig akong sasakyan na sumusunod. Malakas ang pakiramdam ko kaya alam ko.

Since, it is still early in the morning there are no passers by.

Walang masyadong dumadaang sasakyan sa bahay namin tuwing 5 am. That's why I decided to wake up early to walk from our house to the bus station. Para hindi ako ma late sa school. Bukod kasi sa wala akong malaking budget para sa pamasahe ay pangkain ko yun. Hangga't maaari kung pede kong lakarin gagawin ko.

However, it seems that I will get raped today or get kidnapped.

I started walking so fast even though my heart is beating erratically. I need to stay calm and think.

If I run the kidnappers or whoever they are will be more aggressive.

If I will just walk I groaned you will be the next news flash in TV Athena.

Imagine the horror! Policemen will see my naked body and worse it will be broadcasted. Ayoko nga non tapos makikita pa ng mga tsismosa at tsismosa samin? NO WAY!

So I scream and scream until my throat started to feel painful. I don't care if I look stupid right now because my life is more precious than that.

' Tulungan niyo ko!' I screamed even more.

' Hey! Are you all right what happened?' asked by the man whom I was thinking all this time. Elijah?

Natulala ako. Is he real? Am I just hallucinating?

Namatay na ba ako? However, I realized that he is the one who's been tailing me.

' The fudge?' I said while unbelievably staring at him. The panic had left my soul but heart is still beating so fast.

Ang sakit ng lalamunan ko. Who's at fault by the way? I ignored the little devil's voice and faced him.

' Why are you following me?' I asked while coughing. Ayan sigaw sigaw pa kasi.

'I am sorry if I scared you' he apologized. He's wearing a white dress shirt partnered with black slacks and leather shoes. Why is he so hot? Elijah's like lawyer in his outfit but what is he doing here?

Elijah looks so worried so I said that is fine. Kung siya naman ang susunod sakin that's fine.

' Why are you here?' I asked him with accusation. Don't tell me he's here for me? My heart is still beating eratically. Not because of fear but with something else. I look at him with so much passion in my eyes. It's like I'm under his spell and there's no power on earth that can nullify its potency. Elijah is like a drug to my soul, a venom in my heart and a COVID19 in my life. I mentally laughed.

' You did not accept my friend request. So, I am here...' hindi niya natuloy ang sinabi niya.

I grab him by the neck and kiss him. Kiss him like there is no tomorrow.

Stop pretending Athena. You miss the guy! Admit it! You cannot stop thinking about him ever since your encounter with him.

He responded and angled my face to kiss me better. His tongue seeks for entrance and delved in to my mouth. It seems like my body recognizes her master so she willingly obliged.

My body feels so hot. So needy.

I don't know how we got in to his car but I don't care anymore.

As he sat down at the backseat I straddled him. I felt his manhood growing on my stomach. He hold my neck but I can feel his controlling himself from touching my body. The respect warmth my heart.

We stopped already sensing that if we continue further this might end up to something more. Apparently, I'm a virgin and I don't want my cherry to be popped here. In this tight uncomfortable space.

' I miss you' we both said as we stared at each others eyes.
