Chapter 17

"Ilang -araw kanang nakikitulog sa bahay ko Damon, Seriously? sinong tumatao sa penthouse mo? multo?"

"Pwede rin, sila muna mag lagi sa bahay ko Cups. I don't really feel to go home right now and besides, mas makakatulog ako pag nasa tabi kita."

"Please Cups, sexy please." malambing na saad ni Damon.

"Teka,nagpapacute ka ba sa akin?"

"Oo,para pumayag ka."

Chloe giggled "Sige na nga mapilit ka."

Nang makauwi, mabilis na inilapag ni Damon ang kanyang katawan sa couch "Cups, I am really tired."

"Sige magpahinga kamuna dyan, sa comfort room lang ako."

"Pwedeng sumama?"

"Shut up! maliligo ka din pagkatapos ko, pero hindi tayo pwedeng magsabay."

"But I saw you naked, I taste every inch of yours, wala nang kaso yon."

"Tse! tumigil ka baka mahampas kita ng tabo ng di-oras." saad ng dalaga kasabay ang pagsara nito ng pintuan ng banyo.

Holy Cow! Damon is really out of the his mind. Halos occupied na kasi to ng kamanyakan. Chloe draw a heavy sighed and started to take a bath.

After minutes passed, lumabas na ito.

"You're next."

"You smells nice Cups." Damon said as he leaned forward and started to sniff her neck."

"Aso ka ba? Itigil mo yan!" she exclaimed.

Chloe felt hot and steamy as he do that, kaya naman itinuro na nito ang banyo.

"Go inside,maligo kana."

"I don't have any clothes Cups."

"Don't worry Damon ako na ang bahala."

Damon was clueless, san kaya kukuha ang dalaga ng damit nya?But it doesn't matter, pwede naman syang matulog ng nakahubad because based on some research that's healthy.

Nang matapos ang binata,nakatapis itong lumabas ng comfort room.

"Oh!" saad ni Chloe sabay bigay ng isang pares nang pantalon at T-shirt.

"Where did you get this Cups?"

"Huwag mo ng itanong Damon." Her face saddened but she tried not to show this in front of him.

"Don't tell me kay Augustus to? Kung sa kanya man, I prefer to sleep naked than wear fucking clothes na ginamit nya na."

"Ano ba Damon! hanggang kailan mo paiiralin yang pagkaseloso mo?!" the mood was shifted as she shouted in annoyance.

"Kung ayaw mong suotin e di huwag! matutulog na ko."mariing sambit nito kasabay ang pagpasok sa kanyang silid.

Padabog na ihinagis ng dalaga ang kanyang sarili sa kama. She's fucking annoyed to his possessiveness. Hindi nya man lang na appreciate ang effort ng dalaga.

Lakas loob pa naman nitong binuksan ang cabinet nyang puno ng itinatago nitong regalo sa namayapa niyang ama para lang may masuot ang binata pero bakit ganon? mas pinairal pa nito ang ka immature ran nya.

Naramdaman ni Chloe na tumabi sa kanya ang binata.

"Cups?"

Ngunit tikom pa din ang dalaga at hindi pinansin si Damon.

"Cups...I'm sorry."

"Okay..." tipid na sagot ni Chloe.

"Lingunin mo naman ako Cups oh...I'm really sorry..."

Damon was shocked when Chloe faced him crying.

"Cups! I'm sorry you're crying...Fuck! I'm sorry..."Then he immediately hugged the woman,clasp his hands to her face and brushed the tears that is falling beside her cheeks.

"Damon..."she said with a cracking voice.

"Sorry Cups, look! sinuot ko na sya."

Chloe immediately hugged him back.Isinubsob nito ang kanyang mukha sa dibdib ng binata.

"I really miss him, Damon."

Napakunot ang noo ng binata at sinabing"Who's that Cups?"

"My dad...I miss him damn much."

He brushed his hand to her hair and tapped his head.

"You know Damon, you're wearing my gift to him, tuwing birthday kasi nya nireregaluhan ko sya."

"Ganon din si Mom at Venoe, kahit wala na sila ,binibigyan ko pa din sila ng regalo."

Damon looked at him, grasping what he was saying. All he can do is to stared at her with sympathy.

Lumipas ang ilang minuto kumalas din si Chloe sa pagkakayakap at sinabing "Okay na ako Damon, sorry for being too emotional,Thank you."

Damon gave her a peck."It's alright Cups, me too. Sorry, if I was too immature and jealous a while ago."

"Let's sleep?"

Chloe nodded.

-

Nagising si Damon ngunit wala na si Chloe sa tabi niya. He was very anxious. Halos napatayo agad ito at tumakbo upang hanapin ang dalaga.

Napanatag lang ang loob nito nang makita niya si Chloe na nasa kusina habang busy sa pagluluto.

He immediately hugged her on the back, he also lean his chin on her shoulder.

"Good morning Damon."

"Mas maganda ka pa sa umaga Cups."

"Oh sya maghilamos kana,Kakain na tayo. Pinalitan ko pala yung toothbrush ko. I binili narin kita."

Damon salute to Chloe "Yes ma'am!"

Damon was really happy as he saw the toothbrush. Pang couple kasi ang binili ng dalaga. Hindi maiwasan ng binatang mamula.

"Fuck! Why my face is fucking red? am I fucking blushing? Kinikilig ba ako?! Fuck!Fuck! Fuck!" hibang na sabi ng binata habang kinakausap ang sarili sa salamin.

"Relax Damon, you're cool."

Nang makalabas ang binata ay agad na itong umupo sa lamesa. Hinandaan sya ni Chloe ng simpleng almusal. Egg miso soup,perfect for a warm breakfast.

Matapos kumain ay naghanda na ang binata upang umalis sumakay narin ito sa kanyang sasakyan.

"Cups, I'll be back. After lunch susunduin kita."

"Sige."

"Come here Cups at may sasabihin ako."

Awtomarikong lumapit si Chloe. Damon gave her a goodbye kiss.

"I will miss that lips."

"Tse! tigil tigilan mo nanaman yang kakabanat mo."

Damon smirked as he started the engine of his Lamborghini.

"I love you Cups."

Chloe waived her hand in happiness. Napakasarap mahalin ng isang Damon Azmodeus Hernandez, even though he had many imperfections, he's cold, evil, stump and cruel but those imperfections makes him perfect.

Abala ang dalagang namimili kung anong dapat nyang suotin sa date nila ni Damon.Halos gulo gulo narin ang cabinet nito dahil hindi nya alam kung anong susuotin.

"Bakit ba kasi ako kinakabahan at aligaga ng ganito?" inis na sabi ni Chloe.

But you can't blame her 'twas her first time again after eight years na makipag date. Naalala nya pa yung unang date nila ni Damon noong college. They went to museum, it was not too special date,but because she's with Damon lahat yon special para sa kanya.

After that she decide to wear an going out top, high waist denim and heels.Naglagay din ito ng light makeup.

Nang marinig ng dalaga ang busina ng sasakyan ni Damon ay agad na syang lumabas ng kwarto.

"Hey! Let's go"madaling sabi nito kay Damon pero nagtataka siyang hindi parin kumikilos ang binata. His arms are crossed in his chest.

"What?!" iritableng saad ni Chloe.

"Change!"his brows slanted in disapproval.

"Why?! maganda naman tong suot ko ah!"

"You're showing too much skin Chloe! Mag palit ka!"

"Fine! ang dami mong arte Damon kung huwag nalang kaya natin ituloy tong date na to?!"

"No Cups! I'm sorry, gusto ko lang namang magpalit ka dahil ayokong may makakita nyan" sabay turo sa leeg at balikat ng dalaga.

"Dahil ako lang ang may karapatang tumingin dyan. what's mine is mine and I don't like to share."

"At kung yan ang isusuot mo, Hindi mo ako mapipigilang tanggalin  gamit ng combat knife na binigay sa akin ni Ninth ang mga mata na titingin sayo."

"Kaya Cups, Please change your top. Okay na yung jeans."

She rolled her eyes at padabog na bumalik papunta sa kanyang kwarto. Makalipas ang limang minuto,  ay lumabas na siya. She's wearing a champagne slinky rib high neck long sleeves.

"Siguro naman wala nang titingin sa akin nito."

Damon nodded in approval. "Yes Cups that was perfect!"

"Mukha akong manang."

"No! you're the most beautiful girl I ever met."

"Let's go." saad ng binata sabay hawak sa kamay nito at binigyan si Chloe ng isang halik.

Nang makasakay sa sasakyan agad na tinanong ng dalaga kung saan sila pupunta.

"Basta, you'll know." after that hinawakan ni Damon ang kamay ng dalaga at binigyan ito ng halik.

"Bitawan mo na yung kamay ko Damon at mag focused ka sa pagdridrive."

"It's okay Cups, I can do both."

Chloe was suprised when they're in front of their school in college.Her jaw gapped in amazement.

"Wala pa rin tong pinagbago."

Damon gave her a smile, agad nitong inilahad ang kanyang kamay.

"Let's go."

Pagpasok nila sa dating school ay agad na bumalik ang mga alala ng kahapon.

"I remember doon ka sinapak ni nang best friend kong si Aziale sa mukha."

Kumunot ang noo ni Damon "Hell yeah, I never imagined na may susuntok sa akin at babae pa. Amazona yata yung best friend mo."

"There!" sabay turo naman ni Damon sa cafeteria."Punta tayo don Cups."

"Okay" Agad na hinawakan ng binata ang kamay ni Chloe.

Nang nasa loob ng cafeteria maingat na ipinikit ng dalaga ang kanyang mata. Tila dinadama ang amoy ng silid.

"Same smell! walang pinagbago kahit walong taon na ang lumipas."

"Yeah, kasi hindi parin naman nila pinalitan yung menu ng mga hinahanda nilang pagkain for students."

"Teka Damon? Wait nagtataka lang ako diba kahit saturday may pasok tayo? bakit wala yatang mga students ngayon?"

"Hindi sila pumasok kasi ni request ko kay Cleon na i suspend ang saturday class kase may date tayo."

"Ano Damon?!pinacancell mo yung saturday class para lang masolo natin yung lugar?"

"Yup" he blunty said .

"Sira ka! paano yan? sayang ang araw at hindi sila matututo!"

"Tss. Don't mind them, I already talked to Cleon at sabi nya naman na kinausap nya lahat ng professors kaya naman kahit na umabsent sila ay okay lang and besides, parang hindi tayo dumaan sa pagiging istudyante Cups,mas pabor at masaya pag walang pasok."

"Tss! wag mo akong itulad sayo Damon natutulog ka sa klase!"

"I already know the lesson Chloe, remember, I'm fucking smart"

"Oo na, ang hangin oh!"

"Look Cups! yung locker ko, I remember lagi kitang nakikitang kung ano ano ang sinisiksik dyan tuwing uwian."

"You bake cupcakes for me, pero yung mga kaibigan ko yung laging kumakain."

"And thank you cups for encouraging letters na natatanggap ko for you. Those letters gives me comfort kahit hindi pa kita masyadong kilala." Damon said as he slightly squeezed her hands.

"Bago tayo umalis, may last spot pa tayong pupuntahan dito sa school."

"Saan naman yon Damon?"

Damon didn't utter any words, nyang hinkid ang dalaga  papuntang rooftop.

"Here"

Chloe breathed heavily. School rooftop, kung saan nya tinangkang kitilin ang buhay niya.

"I know na hindi naging magandang place ito para sayo Cups, but I want you to know na I'm very thankful to this place."

"I saved you and you saved me, Tinadhana nga talaga tayo para iligtas at isalba ang isat-isa."

"Dinala kita dito hindi para ipaalala sayo ang lahat ng masasakit na alala,kundi ipaalala sayo na kung dati mag-isa ka ng lumalaban sa kalungkutan but this time I'm here.."

"We will face suffering together, remember that Cups!"

"Gusto ko din palitan ng magagandang alaala ang lugar na to." Damon stepped forward to her direction, he leaned closer and started to kiss her.
