Jho

Jana Pages. This is the first time I heard her name. When I saw her with Jana I realized na marami pa kong hindi alam sa kanya. Hindi ako makapagfocus sa pinapanood naming movie ni Ysay as Bea occupied my mind.

"Sabi ko sayo maganda e!" Ysay widely smiled at me nang makalabas na kami ng cinema.

"Wala naman akong sinabing hindi? Hahaha. But, yeah. Hindi ako nagsisi sumama ako." Lie. Wala naman talaga akong naintindihan sa pinanood namin.

He just continued talking about the film. He was so amazed of all the scenes and even mentioned how great the cinematography is. While listening, I heard someone called my name.

"Jhoana!" Jana Pages. Her Boo.

Ang laki ng ngiti ni Jana nung tumingin ako sa kanila, while the girl beside her ay hindi maipinta ang mukha. Nag-away ba sila?

"Hi! Manonood kayo?" I managed to ask.

"Nope. Tapos na. Nasa likod nyo nga lang kami."

"Are you serious?"

"Oo nga! Diba, Bei?" She hooked her arm at Bea's. This clingy human being, ugh.

Tumango naman ito.

"Bakit di nyo man lang ako kinalabit?"

Jana was about to answer nang maunahan sya ni Beatriz.
"We didn't want to disturb you. Seemed your enjoying each others' company e."

I don't know how to react on that.
"Sobrang ganda rin kasi ng movie." Ysay responded. "By the way, may lakad pa ba kayo? Naghahanap kami nang makakainan ni Jho e. You wanna join us?"

"Sure!" Jana clapped her hands.

"No!" Napatingin naman kaming tatlo kay Bea.

Bea seemed surprised of how she reacted, "I mean, I wanna take a rest na kasi. That was  a long drive, Boo. If you wanna join them, okay lang naman. Pwede kang sumabay kay Jho pauwi so maihahatid kita sa condo mo first thing in the morning. Or pwede rin tayong mag drive thru on our way home."

"Okay lang rin naman na ako na ang maghatid kay Jana." Ysay volunteered, "Mukhang pagod ka na rin talaga, Bea e."

A part of me is hoping na sumama na lang samin si Jana. Kung sabay silang aalis I know na hindi na naman ako matatahimik kakaisip.

"Gusto ko sumama but I don't wanna leave Bea naman. Enjoy your date na lang!" She smiled at us. "And Bei, let's go home na. Dun na lang muna ko matutulog sa condo mo. Hassle na sayo. Galing pa tayo Bulacan then here tapos balak mo pang ihatid ako sa Makati. You're not a superhuman!" Pinisil niya pa ang pisngi nito. "Let's go, para makapagpahinga ka na."

Bea nodded and turned to me. "Mauna na kami." Lumapit siya sakin and kissed me on my cheek. Before she pulled away, she whispered something.
"I'll wait for you. If you won't come home tonight, I swear, we'll never talk about 'it'. And don't be too clingy to him."

Bago ako makapagsalita they already turned their back on us.
What was that all about.

Habang kumakain kami ay si Bea lang ang laman ng utak ko. I can't stop thinking.of what she asked me to do. Nope. She wasn't even asking. It was a command not a request; a statement and not a question.

It's already 10 minutes before midnight when we reached the building. I thanked Ysay for today. I decided to go with him para mawala sa isip ko si Bea kahit papano but after what happened, I honestly have no idea what are my other options not to think about her even in just a short period of time. Sa totoo lang, nakakastressed na.

Nang makarating na kami sa tapat ng unit, I thanked him again. Nagpaalam na rin siya na uuwi na and to my surprise he kissed me on my cheek.

Kinuha ko na sa bag ko ang susi sa condo nang may nakita na naman akong papel on my doorsteps.

Agad ko yung dinampot. I unlocked the door & when I unfolded the paper napahinto naman ako sa pagpasok sa unit.

J.M

Mas masaya ka ba
Kapag kasama mo sya
Mas tumatawa ka ba
Kapag katabi niya
Pa'no na lang kung pipili ka na
Maniniwala ba ako na may pag-asa
Kung ngayon pa lang,
Hirap akong ipaglaban ka

Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. This is different. I know the writer probably know me. The title is my initials. I would like to think na coincidence lang but this is not the first time that I received this kind of letter.

My heart literally jumped when someone pulled me inside the unit. She closed the door and before I knew it I am already leaning on the wall and cornered between her arms.

"I told you not to be clingy."

Hindi ako nakasagot kagad. I am just looking at her eyes.

"Jhoana. I am talking to you." Her breathing is heavy.

"Bea, I'm not sure what you're talking about."

She crooked a smile, "Not sure? So let me ask you, why did you allow him na akbayan ka while you were watching a movie. You even allowed him held your hand nung lumabas kayo ng cinema. And kanina, why did you allow him to kiss you?"

Napataas naman ako ng kilay sa sunod-sunod nyang tanong. "I didn't know na bawal pala? Last time I checked, I'm single. Ysay is single. So anong mali?"

Mas lalo pang lumalalim ang paghinga nya. Her eyes are on fire. Nakatingin lang sya sa mga mata ko. I tried my very best not to break the eye contact.
Please Jhoana, kahit ngayon lang. Be brave.

"Shit Jhoana!!"

She cupped my face and kissed me on my lips. My eyes are widely open nang maramdaman kong madiin ang lapat nya sa labi ko.

I lose my control when she parted her mouth to bite my lower lip. I closed my eyes and responded to her kisses. This time she transitioned to being gentle. I felt her left hand from my neck down to my back. Bea pulled me closer to her while she's still holding my face trying not to break the kiss.

Her hands are all over my body. My arms are just clinging to her neck when she bended me down until my back reached a soft surface. She is now on top of me. Bea managed to pull up my shirt smoothly. Her lips are doing a good job owning my body. Started from my neck to my chest and now she's enjoying teasing my belly button.

I pulled her up to face me again. I'll never get tired kissing her lips. I wrapped my legs around her waist and pulled her until we're no inches apart. I want to feel her. I kissed her again while rubbing every part of me on hers.

I dropped all the questions on my mind. This time, I'll set aside my confusions because after this, one thing is for sure:



You started this Beatriz & you have lots of explaining things to do.
