35 Fool around
"I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know"
- Ready for it? lyrics by Taylor Swift
ELLE
Kasasakay ko lang sa kotse ko nang bigla akong makatanggap ng tawag. "Hello?" Sabi ko sa kabilang linya. "Bakla!! Ano na?! Kailan ka ba namin makikita ah?! We missed you so much!" Patty exclaimed.
After that incident, hindi pa ako nagpapakita sa kanila. I don't even know if it's the right time na ba para magpakita sa kanila..
"Very soon. For now, I'll hang up the phone, I need to go somewhere." And then I ended the call. I started the engine and drive away.
Minutes passed ay nakarating ako sa isang kilalang restaurant dito sa Manila. Bumaba ako at nagtungo sa loob upang hanapin ang taong kameet up ko ngayon.
Napangisi ako nang makita ko siya. I walked straight to where he was and stood right in front of him.
"Mr. Albert." Tawag ko sa kanya. He slowly turned his head at me and parang nagulat siya sa kanyang nakikita.
"E-elle?! A-akala ko ba y-you're d-dead?! H-how --" He said while stuttering. Umupo ako dahil mukhang wala naman siyang planong paupuin ako. I crossed my legs. I was about to speak when the waiter handed me the menu.
"Thank you but I'll have a potato salad and a raspberry juice." Sabi ko. "Will that be all ma'am?." The waiter asked. "Yes." And then umalis na ang waiter.
"So, Mr. Albert. You probably wondering kung bakit buhay ako.. Simple lang ang sagot." Sabi ko. "Dahil hindi ako welcome sa impyerno hangga't nabubuhay ang mga lintik na demonyong sumira sa buhay at pamilya ko." Kalmadong sabi ko pero may diin sa bawat bitaw ko ng salita. I saw him gulped.
"D-demonyo? S-sumira sa buhay mo?" Natatarantang sabi niya.. Sakto naman ang dating ng mga orders ko.. Nagpasalamat lang ako sa waiter at umalis na siya.. "E-elle about what happened l-last time --" Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"Last time? What was it, Mr. Albert?" Sandali akong tumahimik at parang nag-iisip. "Oh! That incident na kung saan I tried to explain and convince you that I didn't do that... You knew me well, Mr. Albert. Not even once I tried to ruin your reputation, NOT. EVEN. ONCE." May galit sa boses ko habang sinasabi ko yan..
"I'm sorry, Elle. But I left with no choice. Naipit ako between sa tuluyuang paglugi ng kumpanya ko.. Wala na akong choice kaya nagawa ko ang bagay na yun, Elle..." Sabi niya saakin. "You left with no choice? Tuluyang pagkalugi ng kumpanya mo?! What does it mean?!" May kaunting thought na umiikot sa utak ko ngayon..
"Sinong nag-utos sayo na gawin ang bagay na to saakin?" Seryosong tanong ko sa kanya.. Bumuntong hininga siya.. "Si Ally." Biglang uminit ang dugo ko sa sinabi niya.. Tama nga ang hinala ko.. It's because of her kaya nasira ang buhay at pamilya ko.
"Natanggap ko naman talaga yung document mo, Elle.. Kaya lang nung itatago ko na sana, siyang dating naman niya. She even threatened to ruin my company.. Pero she insisted she'll help my company from it's falling.. Yun nga lang, may condition siya.." Sabi niya.. I closed my fist.. Nina-namnam ko ang bawat salitang lumalabas sa bibig niya.
"Her condition was to sabotage your document at palitan yung document mo. Tapos ipagpalagay natin na ikaw yung may gawa nun.. Awang-awa ako sayo dati Elle dahil nasisante ka nang walang ginagawang masama.. Sana mapatawad mo ako.. Nagipit lang talaga ako, Elle.. But I never wished any harm on your part lalo't napakagaling mong employee sa company ko." Wala na akong ibang magagawa pa.. Nangyari na and lalo lang nagliyab ang nais ko na maghiganti.
"It's okay.. I'll forgive you.." Nakangiting sabi ko kay Mr. Albert dahilan para umangat ang kanyang ulo at hindi makapaniwalang tumitig saakin. "That fast? Ang bait mo talaga, Elle! --" I cut him off..
"In one condition." Then his smile fades away.. "I want to invest in your company.. Ally didn't fulfill her promise right? And to think her company is in rock today, she can't help you.." Mayabang na sabi ko sa kanya.. I saw him gulped. I raised my left eyebrow as a response to it.
"You'll invest in my company, Elle? Sigurado ka ba?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya saakin..
"I have my word, Mr. Albert. Pag sinabi ko, gagawin ko.. I never break my word, you know that." Napahiya siya sa sinabi ko.
"Simple lang ang condition ko.. I want you to have an event.. Kung gusto mo nang ipablessing ang bagong gawa mong station, go ahead.. And then, I want you to invite Kyle and of course, I'll attend without any invitation coming from you.." Sabi ko sa kanya.
"You want me to invite Kyle and darating ka din? From what I know, he's with Ally Anderson right?" I tried not to roll my eyes to what he have said.
"Yes.. I'm sure." Sabi ko na lang.. Uminom siya ng kape niya.. I can sense that he's tensed..
"Let me ask you something, Elle." Tumingin ako sa kanya habang nilalaro ko ang straw sa Raspberry Juice ko. "What are you planning to do? Who are you after to?" I smiled as I took a sip of my juice. Sweet. Gaya ni Kyle pero nakakasawa rin.
"Pinatay ninyo ang Elle na nakilala ninyo. The Elle in front of you now.." I leaned towards him.. He gulped..
".....is the one who will end this game." I stood up and I walked away not hearing any words coming from him.. Siya na bahalang magbayad ng inorder ko.

Nakarating na ako sa company ni Kyle.. I don't even know what am doing here.. But all I can assure is, it'll be fun.
As expected, gulat ang mga taong nagtratrabaho dito na makita ako. But I didn't bother to give them a sh*t. Hindi naman sila ang ipinunta ko dito..
Inaasahan ko din na pagkarating ko sa office niya, andoon ang higad na babae niya..
We threw sh*ts at each other and in the end, Ally is the loser.
I already told Kyle about the event of Mr. Albert and thankfully, he accepted the invitation.
Moving forward,
Patty and Vanessa saw me sa party ni Mr. Albert for the first time and I didn't expect that Patty will burst out. Why am I so lucky to have them as my bestfriends?
We went to a bar after the party. It was an intention to break his cars' wheel for what? Of course para wala siyang rason para hindi sumama saamin. I have my game, and I don't consider any failures neither plan B.
I offered him a ride and thankfully, he accepted it.
When we are stuck because of traffic, Patty insisted to turn on the radio. I did.
And what a nice timing. It's a song of Joshua Kadison's Beautiful in my Eyes..
"This song sounds familiar, isn't?" I uttered while my eyes are on the road.."Yeah." he whispered. As I continued driving, I couldn't help but wonder, what's on his mind right now while listening to this song?
Dumating na kami sa bar.. He immediately headed to the counter. I followed him and sat beside him. "Ladies' choice please." And then he handed me my order.
"Hindi ka ba galit saakin, Elle? Sa kung anong nangyari dati?" Tanong niya saakin. Sa totoo lang, gustong-gusto ko na siyang buhusan nitong hawak ko but it's so cheap. Ally levels lang ang may kayang gawin nun.
"Who wouldn't?" I mumbled. I saw him gulped based on my peripheral vision..
"But you know what?" I paused. Napatingin siya saakin. Tumingin din ako sa kanya. "From that moment, I only knew one thing." I took all my courage to say these words to him..
"You were never loved me." I said. Pain is seen in his eyes.. Magsasalita pa sana siya nang biglang tumunog ang phone niya. "Answer it." I said..I heard him sighed. At tumayo siya para sagutin ang tawag..
Actually, it was planned. Everything was planned.. Even that phone call, it was planned.
I took the opportunity, para ilabas ang tinatago ko. I tear it up and pour it on his drink..Saktong pagbalik niya. Kailangan niya na daw umalis. I nod.. But before he left, ininom niya muna ang huling baso ng alak niya. Then he left.
Tumayo ako para sundan siya.. "Let's hang out some other time guys. It's paid already, you can order whatever you want and here's the key of your hotel room." noTsaka ako umalis para sundan si Kyle. Based sa kanyang lakad, I can say that he's already tipsy.
And hindi nga ako nagkamali dahil seconds lang ay natumaba siya.. Buti na lang at nasalo ko siya.
Hinatid ko siya sa kanyang condo at pinahiga ko siya doon.
I must say na may malay pa siya. Tinanggal ko ang lahat ng suot niya even his undergarments ay tinanggal ko and took a photo at his naked body..
Pumwesto ako sa may bintana na may kurtina nung mapansin kong gumagalaw siya..
"I missed you." He said in a husky voice. You missed me? Are you joking? My mind uttered.
Gustong-gusto ko na siyang palakpakan dahil sa mga kasinungalingan niya.
Lumapit ako at umupo sa tiyan niya.. I leaned closer to his neck and suddenly I got shivers when he held my back and caressed it expertly.
'No, no, no, Kyle.. You can't turn me on with your moves again..' I spoke to my mind.
Sinabayan ko ang ginagawa niya sa likod ko at tsaka ako bumulong sa kanyang tainga in my very sexy voice.
" 1, 2, 3.." And with that nakatulog na siya. I grinned when it happened successfully. Inayos ko ang buttones ko at saka naglakad palabas ng unit niya.
I emailed the photo to Ally with an Anonymous account. She'll probably burst out when she finds out her self claimed fiancè is naked..
I stepped outside of his unit with a grin on my face.
"The coming days will be more exciting.. " I mumbled as I drove away from his condo.
