"PAPA!"
Ibig mag-init ng ulo ni King nang sabik na sabik na nilapitan ni Alexis si Thunder, ang manager na batid niyang nobyo ni Alexandra. Kahit pa sinabi ng nakausap niya na wala itong relasyon kay Alexandra ay hindi siya naniniwala.
Madalas niyang makita ang dalawa na magkausap.
Bukod roon, ang sadyang nakakapagpairita sa kanya ay ang katotohanang pinayagan ni Alexandra na tawagin itong 'Papa' ng kanyang anak.
Hindi niya matanggap na noong wala siya ay ang lalaki ang tumayong ama ng bata. Malapit ang dalawa, naririnig at nakikita niya iyon sa mga tao.
It hurt him to know this man took his role.
Kasalanan ni Alexandra. Pero may malaking dahilan ito kaya ganoon ang ginawa nito. She said she fell in love. At hula niya ay si Thunder ang lalaking iyon.
Pioneer si Thunder sa lugar na iyon. Ginagawa pa lamang daw ang Destination: Palaw ay naroon na ito. Ano pa ang ibig sabihin non?
Ang malaking tanong ay kung bakit hindi pa rin umamin ang dalawa. Marahil ay dahil na rin sa katotohanang mayroong nobya ang lalaki. Iyon ang bahaging hindi niya maunawaan–kung bakit mahilig si Alexandra sa mga relasyon kung saan ang lalaki ay mayroon nang iba.
He was aware that some women liked the challenge. But he couldn't accept that Alex is like those women.
Lalong higit na mahirap iyong tanggapin ngayong alam na niyang ito ang ina ng kanilang anak.
Sa aspeto ng pagiging isang ina, wala siyang mairereklamo rito. She's a loving but strict. Sa kanilang dalawa pala, pagdating sa bata, ito ang magiging mas istrikto.
Mahal na mahal niya ang kaniyang anak na hindi niya ito mapahindian. He was under her control.
And he's loving it.
Sinalubong ni Thunder si Alexis. All he could do is to frown. Naglaro ang mga ito at hindi niya nagawang pigilan ang dalawa. Alam niyang tuwang-tuwa ang bata rito.
He might like him if not for the fact that he's playing with his child and the mother of his child. Where the hell were his balls to tell his fianceé about Alexandra? Or did she prefer it that way?
Hindi yata niya kayang maunawaan kahit na ano ang gawin niya.
Mayamaya ay nagpaalam na ito sa bata at tumuloy sa bahay ni Alexandra. Lumabas ang dalawa, nagyakap, saka umalis na ang lalaki. He frowned even more. Hawak niya ang kamay ng kanyang anak. Lumapit sila kay Alexandra.
"Dinner is ready." anito, nakangiti.
"I wish to talk to you, Alex, after dinner." walang emosyong sabi niya rito.
"What about?" takang tanong naman rito ng babae.
Iyon ang isa sa ikanaiinisan niya rito.
Palagi itong umiiwas sa kanya. Ni ayaw nitong makasama siya na silang dalawa lang. It angered him because it was okay if she spent time with that Thunder. Bakit sa kanya ay hindi maaari?
"It's important. We'll talk later."
Tumango lang ito, parang hindi interesado.
It still hurt him. Because he's still in love with her. Mahirap tanggapin pero mas mahirap na ikaila pa niya iyon sa kanyang sarili. Hawak ng babae ang puso biya kahit labag iyon sa kalooban niya. What he wouldn't do to stop loving her.
Pagkatapos nilang kumain ay pinatulog na nito si Alexis. Bumaba ito sa sala. She was still pretty as she used to be. Sa katunayan, parang naging higit itong maganda ngayon kaysa sa noon.
"What is it, King?"
"It's about Thunder."
Mukhang agad na napukaw ang interes nito. "What about thunder?" Seryosung-seryoso ang anyo nito.
"I don't like him hanging around Alexis."
"And why is that?" Hindi nito nagawang itago ang pagkairita nito na nakapagpairita din sa kanya.
"It's just not healthy. It's sick!"
"A wonderful man plays with your daughter, treats her like his own, and you find that sick?" Galit ang nasa tinig nito.
"If you told me about Alexis earlier, she wouldn't have found a father figure in that man. The thing is, I don't care what you two have, but I don't like you getting Alexis involved. She's just a child."
"What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about, Alex."
"Please don't assume I understand everything your sick mind comes up with!"
"If he gets married, then he would have a new family. Ayaw kong nagmumukhang kawawa ang anak ko na pilit mong isinisiksik sa buhay ng may buhay."
"At sinasabi mong iyon ang ginagawa ko, King? Kahit kailan, hindi ko magagawang isiksik ang buhay ng anak ko sa buhay ng iba. Kaya nga hindi ko siya ipinakilala sa'yo. Ayokong makaabala siya sa magulong buhay mo. At kung hindi mo napapansin, maayos kami kaso dumating ka. Biglang naging komplikado ang lahat. Ano ang karapatan mong dumating na lang bigla at may baon kang mga paniniwala na hindi totoo at ipinamumukha mo sa akin? How dare you insult me this way, King Levi!" sigaw nito sa kanya
Nag-init na rin ang ulo niya. "And how dare you use against me the fact I wasn't here before when you're the only reason why that happened!"
"I have my reasons."
"Yes. And I do believe it involves Thunder!" singhal niya rito. "You were in love with him. Still are!"
She looked shocked. Kinumpirma lamang niyon ang kanyang hinala. Ang tingin talaga nito sa kanya ay mahina ang pang-unawa. Of course, he knew it was Thunder she referred to.
Mayamaya ay ngumiti ito, ngiting tila nang-uuyam. "I guess I don't have secrets from you anymore. But believe me, Thunder is a great guy."
"Oh, yeah? Is he great in bed, too?" sarkastikong tanong nito sa babae.
"Oh, yes. He's very giving. Unlike you."
"Is that why you always used to beg me to stop eating you? That it's your turn, kitten?"
Nilapitan niya ito.
Agad itong humakbang palayo. Nagtungo sa mga labi nito ang kanyang daliri. Alam niyang sensitibo ito sa bahaging iyon ng mukha nito. He thumbed her lower lip.
"These lips always begged. Always implored to give me something back. Do you remember?"
"Go a-away!"
"Why would I do that when I can see clearly that you want me, kitten?"
"That's a lie."
Pinatunayan niya ritong ito ang nagsisinungaling.
He grabbed her ass, pushed her towards him, made her feel how aroused he was. If she only knew the many sleepless nights he spent craving to kiss her again, to make love to her again, to feel her skin against his.
Ang ilang taong pagkakakulong ng lahat ng nag-aalab niyang damdamin para sa babaeng ito ay kumawala.
He immediately understood there was no stopping them. Ang tugon nito sa bawat halik niya napakainit. She was still a great liar. Kung ganoon kainit ang tugon nito sa kanya, marahil ay hindi mahusay na nobyo si Thunder.
That man probably paled in comparison with him. What he got under the sheets with Alexandra was a subject of ridicule. Ano ang iisipin ng lalaki kung makikita lamang nito ang mainit na tagpong iyon?
He tasted every part of her while her back was against the wall. She climaxed so very easily, like she had denied herself pleasure for a very, very long time.
"Now you understand, Alex. I know what I do to you. You can never lie to me." He cupped her face and kissed her as their bodies became one..
