Her Worst Contract (LOA 2 #2)

CHAPTER 7

"Ahm, lalabas lang ako, titingnan ko kung may madadaanan kayo paalis," napalingon ako kay Maximo ng siya'y magsalita habang nakaupo si Vlad sa harap ko at nakayakap sa aking bewang.

I nodded at him and watch him step out of this room, naiwan kaming dalawa ni Vlad dito sa loob habang nakasubsob ang kanyang mukha sa aking tiyan.

Tiningnan ko ang buong paligid at hindi maiwasang mapailing dahil sa sobrang daming basag na baso at kalat na can ng beer dito sa loob. Vlad must have drunk a lot, hinimas ko ang likuran niya ng magsimula siyang sinukin.

He has this mannerism whenever he's really drunk, he is gonna have hiccups nonstop. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niyang' nakabalot sa aking bewang at sinubukan itong tanggalin.

"Hmm!" he groans as he felt my movements, "Kukuha lang ako ng water," mahinahon kong sambit.

Imbis na ako ay bitawan ay mas hinigpitan niya pa ang pagkakahawak sa aking bewang at mas isiniksik ang kanyang mukha sa aking tiyan. Pero mas lumalakas ang pagsinok niya kaya pinilit kong tanggalin ang kanyang braso sa aking bewang.

"I'll just get some water, stay here," nakapikit ang mata siyang sumandal sa headrest ng couch, I slowly walk towards the mini-counter here inside the VIP room, and get some water for him.

Marahan at maingat akong maglakad dahil sa mga nakakalat na basag na baso dito sa loob ng silid, maari ko itong matapakan sa isang pagkakamali sa paghakbang.

"Here," I whisper and guide him to sit properly and sober up a bit.

I watch him drink with his eyes close and wasted, habang pinagmamasdan siya ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng matinding kirot sa aking dibdib. Just watching him like these pains me, knowing that our relationship wasn't healthy anymore.

But I can't even bear to think of moving away from him, hindi ko kaya na wala siya sa aking tabi, kaya gagawin ko ang lahat upang manatili lang siya sa aking tabi.

And in order to make that happen, I deliberately lowered down my pride for him to stay with me longer. All my efforts, I know Vlad will never notice them. He's too busy to think of that.

After drinking he open his eyes and smile at me, "Kailan pa kayo naging close ni Maximo?" tanong niya habang diretso ang tingin sa aking mga mata.

"What do you mean, he's texting me because of you, we're not that close," I said and remained standing in front of him. I know where things are going, so I have to be careful, Vlad can be jealous of everyone.

"So, who was your half month without me? I thought you could last longer by avoiding me. But I guess I was wrong; you can't resist me. You miss me." I think he sober off quickly, he knows how to use these words properly again. Bawat salita na lumalabas sa kanyang bibig ay hindi patanong, lahat ito ay parang sigurado siya na totoo.

Which is true, I fucking damn miss him.

Nilunod ko ang aking sarili sa pagtatrabaho para lang hindi siya maisip oras-oras sa buong kalahating buwan na iyon. I was him smirking while staring at me and in just a glimpse of an eye.

Bigla niya akong hinila at nakita ko na lang ang aking sarili na nakaupo sa kanyang hita. Hinawakan niya ang aking kaliwang hita at dahan-dahan itong ipinuwesto sa kabilang bahagi ng kanyang hita. Now, I'm carelessly sitting in his lap, with him between my legs.

He gently roams his hand in my back up to my nape, and pulls me for a kiss. A breathtaking kiss, pakiramdam ko kinuha niya lahat ng hangin sa aking buong katawan gamit ang isang halik na iyon.
