Amidst Uncertainties

Chapter 05

Convincing

I woke up the next day feeling so miserable... I could still feel my head throbbing. My eyes were still closed, but they immediately opened when I noticed that the scent was not that of my room, sa condo man or sa bahay. 

And I realized that I was really not in my condo, or kahit sa bahay. The room was so unfamiliar. I immediately checked if I still have clothes and shit... I do have clothes but they weren't the ones I wore last night. What the heck happened? How did I end up here? 

Ace, what the hell did you do? Shit ka! Fuck. 

Did I hook up with some stranger and... had sex... with him? I ruffled my hair in frustration and looked down again on the insides of the comforter. Fucking shit! 

"You're awake." I almost jumped on the bed when I heard Sync's voice. I looked up and I saw that it was really him! 

He was just wearing a pair of sweatpants and nothing on top. Pinasadahan niya ng kaniyang kamay ang magulo niyang buhok. Napalunok at napaiwas ng tingin dahil sa kabang nararamdaman. What? Did we... 

I heard him chuckled softly which made me look at him. I suddenly felt my heart started beating so fast again. What the hell, Ace? "For your information, I did not rape you," he simply said but humor was evident on his tone and expression. It was as if he clearly knew what's going on inside my head. 

"S-so..." I couldn't continue what I was about to ask, because it's too damn embarrassing. Oh my God! 

"Did we have sex?" Siya na ang nagtanong para sa akin. I looked away and nodded slowly. I could feel my heart beating faster than before. It's making me hard to breathe. "Hmm, I wonder." Dahil sa gulat ay napatingin ako bigla ulit sa kaniya pero napansin kong nasa harap ko na siya, nakaupo sa kama. 

I pulled the comforter up to cover my body up to my neck. It was so embarrassing to have him looking at me. I felt so naked and fuck it, because I was really naked. I couldn't look straight into his eyes because I felt like his stares were ripping through my soul. I was afraid that he might find something within me that even I was trying so hard to get rid off. 

"You were so naughty last night, lady..." he said in a husky voice. I could still hear his humor and amusement. "You were making it hard for me to sleep..." he continued in a very deep yet monotonous voice. 

I remained looking away. However, I felt him leaning closer to my neck. I could already feel his heavy breathing. "Hindi ako ganoong klase ng babae, Sync." I firmly said. I heard him chuckled again as he moved away from me. 

"Really, huh." He said. As if he doesn't believe what I said. Nararamdaman ko na naman ang pag-init ng ulo ko. Masakit pa 'to, at mas lalong nasakit dahil sa pang-iinis na naman ng gagong 'to sa akin. 

I turned to look at him. "Seriously. What did you do to me?" 

He licked his lower lip and smirked. "I invoke my right against self-incrimination," he playfully said before standing up straight and crossing his arms against his chest. 

Dinalihan niya ako pa ako ng law terms niya, putangina talaga! Wala naman siya sa korte at hindi naman ako judge or prosecutor or whatever so bakit niya ako dadalihan ng mga ganoong terminologies? Sumasakit na nga ako ulo sa sandamakmak na med terms tapos dadagdagan niya pa? 

Tumagal ang tingin ko sa dibdib niya, at bumaba 'yon sa abs niya. Fuck, he has abs! Bakit ba kasi siya naka-topless? I have the audacity to ask that, gayong hubad nga ako sa ilalim ng comforter na 'to! But again, that's not my fault anymore. Ni wala akong maalala ni katiting sa nangyari kagabi. Hindi ko rin alam kung ba't siya ang kasama ko at hindi sila Tinay, or ba't ako nandito at wala sa bahay ko!
