Loving Nemesis

Chapter 20: Feelings

Ines' POV

"Why?" I mumbled. My breathing is becoming heavy every second that passes.

My mind is already floating in the air, and I can feel that I'm about to lose control. Was this because I was drunk, or was it because we were this intimate?

I'm pinned down the bathroom wall, with the shower's water dripping all over our body, and Nemesis is right here, breathing heavily on my neck.

Sino ba naman ang hindi mababaliw?

"Why would you even think about killing him?" I asked once again.

"Because I'm jealous," he answered.

Kaagad na tumaas ang aking mga balahibo nang maramdaman ko ang pagdampi ng kaniyang labi noong magsalita siya.

Sasabog na rin yata ang buo kong katawan dulot ng init na hindi ko maintindihan. Dahil nga lang ba nakainom ako kaya ko 'to nararamdaman?

He looked up at me and our gaze met once again. His eyes were in between being sleepy and seductive, and for some reason, I couldn't stop being drawn into his hazel eyes.

Ngayon ko nga lang din napansin na hindi niya pala suot ang kaniyang salamin. And instead of hating his eyes and how he looks right now, I couldn't help but to think about how hot he is right now.

"I'm so jealous, Ines, and I don't even know why I feel this way." He breathed heavily as he let go of me.

My arms slowly dropped to my sides as I watched him comb his dripping wet hair with his long fingers.

It's a bit dark, yet I can still see the bumpy veins on his hands.

"D*mn, I don't even know if I have the right to feel this way." He chuckled as he shook his head.

Napatulala na lamang ako sa kaniya at pinanood siyang tumalikod at patayin ang shower. Matapos niyang gawin 'yon ay napatulala na lamang ako at napayakap sa aking sarili habang nakatitig sa shower.

Gusto kong sampalin ang sarili ko nang paulit-ulit ngayon upang makasigurado kung masa reyalidad nga ba ako o nananaginip lang.

What the heck just happened?!

Mayamaya lang ay muli na naman siyang sumulpot sa aking harapan at may inaabot na siyang towel sa akin.

Wala sa sarili ko naman iyong kinuha at nanlaki ang aking mga mata nang bigla niyang tanggalin sa pagkakabutones ang kaniyang polo.

Muling nag-init ang aking mukha at doon ko rin naramdaman na totoo ang lahat ng ito. Totoong totoo.

"H-Hoy! Anong ginagawa mo!" Taranta kong sabi at kaagad na tinakpan ang aking mga mata gamit ang iniabot niyang towel. Ganoon pa man ay nakasilip pa rin ako sa awang.

"What?" patay malisya niyang sagot.

Nanlaki lalo ang aking mga mata nang tuluyan niyang hubarin ang basa niyang polo.

"Nemesis! What are you doing?!" Tili ko at mas lalong napatakip sa aking mga mata. Sa pagkakataong ito ay hindi na ako nakasilip sa kahit na ano mang awang.

Bakit naman kasi bigla-bigla siyang naghuhubad sa harap ko?!

Dalawang beses na niya 'tong ginagawa at hindi ko alam kung wala ba siyang kahihiyan sa katawan.

"What's wrong?" I heard him chuckle. "Para namang ngayon ka lang nakakita ng katawan ng lalaki? Sa pagkakatanda ko ay may nakita na akong billboard advertisement ng isang clothing brand na may kasama kang lalaki na topless. This is nothing new to you, right?"
