Nothing's Better Than This (Mika Reyes - Ara Galang Fanfic)

Chapter 32

Sophie's POV

Two nights together. That was all it took for me to fall for her. And I hate myself for entering another affair with someone who's deeply in love with someone else. I am nothing but an outlet to her. Her go to girl when Mika's not around. The one who's there whenever she's bored. Her confidante and her adviser whenever they're fighting. And probably the only girl whom she has kept a secret affair with.

She can't love me. I know she can't and never will. Our affair has been going on for at least 2 weeks now. It sucks to be me right?

Exactly a week ago, nag usap ulit kami ni Gayle at sinabi niya saking dapat ko na raw talaga tigilan kung ano man ang meron kami dahil nagdududa na raw sina Cienne at Kim. Kung ayaw daw ni Ara na itigil kung ano ang meron man kami, ako na daw dapat ang kusang lumayo. Or else...

So I did. Hindi na ako ulit nagtext sa kanya. Hindi ko na rin sinasagot ang mga tawag niya at hindi na ako ulit nag follow up about my investment. I left her hanging when I know I should have talked to her and made a formal closure. Alam ko, pero hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko kayang panindigan ang mga sinabi ko after that incident sa MOA. The next day after that, she showed up at my condo and convinced me into our set up. Who could possibly resist The Ara Galang? Someone maybe, pero hindi ako yon. Tao lang naman ako, umibig at nagpakatanga. Thinking that if our affair would go on, she will eventually fall for me. Pero wala eh. Isang lang naman akong sub tuwing wala si Mika at busy sa training.

But that talk with my bestfriend turned things around. I never showed up at her grill or wherever she plans to see me. Until now...

Nandito ako ngayon sa labas ng grill niya. I've been here for like an hour or so. I don't know if I'll ever have the courage to resist and let her go this time. Alam kong pag nakita ko siya bibigay na naman ako. I'm here to talk things over, talk her out from this affair, and withdraw my investment plans... There's no turning back. Mamaya na ang flight ko pauwi sa probinsya.. Ito na talaga ang dapat. I'll try really hard, I promise. Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntong hiniga saka pumasok na sa loob...

And there she is. Standing beside the counter. Staring back at me. No, Ara. Please, wag mo kong tingnan ng ganyan! Hindi ko kakayanin. I have other things in mind!

The next thing I know is yakap yakap na niya ko.

Ara: "Alam mo ba kung gaano kita ka miss!?"

Hindi ako nakasagot. Pinagtitinginan na kami ng ibang costumers at ng mga tauhan niya. Hinatak niya ako papasok sa office niya and in one powerfull pull ay napasandal ako sa table niya. Isinara niya ang pinto at nilapitan ako agad. Inayos niya ang posisyon ko, pinaupo ako sa table niya then positioned herself between my thighs. In one quick move, she claimed my lips. Kissing me hard. Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko at pinatuloy ang paghalik sa akin ng mariin. I held back pero hindi ako makakalas sa kanya. I was about to push her away pero nauna na siyang kumawala sa paghalik sakin.

Ara: "Now you know! Ganyan kita ka miss Sophie! Ano ba ang problema at bigla ka na lang hindi nagparamdam! 7 days Sophie! Tapos ngayon babalik ka dito para guluhin na naman ang buhay ko?!"

Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko, naiyak ako pero nanatili lang kami sa ganoong posisyon.

Sophie: "I'm sorry..." Niyakap niya ko. "I'm sorry Ara..."

Hindi siya sumagot. Nakayakap lang siya sakin habang hinahagod ang likod ko. Kahit hindi ko kaya, I'm swearing this... Last na to.

"Ara..."

She slowly pulled away from our hug at hinawakan ulit ang magkabilang pisngi ko, staring at me.

"Please, Ara. For the nth time, stop looking at me like that."
