AVIE
"Hmmm.." Vibration. Ilaw. Vibration. Ilaw. I grabbed the annoying phone. "Hello" I rubbed my eyes.
"Hello Avie" It's Victor's voice.
"O?" I pulled the blanket over Deedee, nahila when I reached my phone.
"Nandito ako sa labas, uhh.. security won't let me in." sabi niya.
I looked at the phone's clock. It's 4 am. "Anong ginagawa mo diyan?" I asked at bumangon ako to look outside. Natulog ako, si Deedee at si Darylle sa master's bedroom dahil wala naman sila mom at dad. Wala namang sasakyan sa harap, I assumed I'd see my car. "Where exactly are you?" If he's pertaining to the house security baka hindi lang siya nakilala nung kapalit na shift but surely they'll recognize it's my car.
"Nasa gate ng subdivision nyo" He answered.
"May I speak to the security personnel please" I asked Victor. I heard him pass the phone to a person he pertained to as 'Kuya'.
"Hello?" I confirmed if there's somebody on the other end.
"Ye-- Yes ma'am?" Kinakabahang tanong nung nasa kabilang linya.
"Sir, si Avie po ako ng block 16 lot 22, kilala ko po siya, guest po namin siya"
"Ah ganun po ba ma'am, nasa status po kasi ng bahay ninyo not accepting guests, pasensya na po ma'am" he uttered 'pasensya na po sir' away from the phone probably apologizing to Victor. 'Sabi naman sainyo mga kuya sa girlfriend ko tong sasakyan kaya may sticker'
I can still hear them talking on the background. The security personnel explains kay Victor na hindi basta basta pwedeng pumasok ng walang gate pass o sticker issued by the homeowner's association. My car has the sticker although he isn't a registered guest. However that shouldn't be an issue kasi as long as may sticker naman lusot regardless of who the driver is.
I patiently waited for his reply. The call hung up. Napansin niya sigurong active pa yung call sa phone niya.
Nakita ko agad yung three sets ng moving lights papalapit sa gate namin, so there's three cars? Kaya talagang hindi sila papalusutin.
Nag-freshen up ako ng onti then went downstairs. Si Victor yung bumaba ng sasakyan ko, pinapasok na sila ng staff sa driveway.
Mukhang kulang ang freshen up ko. I've been seeing kengkoy Victor for so long that I got used to him wearing t-shirts, shorts, cut shirts, basketball shorts, pambahay na sando and boxers.
Iba ang aura niya when he got out of the car in a suit. His jet black hair is styled, na-emphasize yung faux hawk na cut. "Hi babe sorry maaga ako masyado" He held both my hands and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Antok ka pa? Sorry" kinabig niya ako to hug me. Sheesh! He's intoxicating, ambango bango ng white shirt niya sa loob.
He looked down on me habang naka yakap padin. He sniffed my hair and hummed appreciatively. "Nakaka-alis ka ng init ng ulo" Saka ko nalang narealize na I am staring at him. Naninibago ako sa Victor na dumating ng 4 am. He exudes power, wealth and makalaglag-panty looks na nakakaloka. Jowa ko nga ba toh?
I touched his suit jacket. It's velvety soft, must be designer. Pero ganito kaya siya matulog? I took a glimpse sa ibaba, naka full effect ang lolo mo't todo shoes.
"May dinner telecomference meeting ako with German executives kanina" Napansin niya sigurong I'm staring. Natutulala ako nakakalimutan ko yung galit ko't nang gugulo siya dito nang hindi pa sumisikat ang araw.
Napatingin ako ulit from head to toe. Tunay ba ito? Para siyang kinuha sa magazine.
"Is something wrong?" he frowned.
