Delivery

Prelude. Delivery

"DELIVERY!"

Lexin almost jumped out when she heard the doorbell rang. She was watching some X-rated movies and was almost touching herself, when it rang. She turned on the intercom and heard the baritone of the delivery guy, who had been waiting in the front door for probably some minutes now.

"May delivery ba ako ngayon?" Saglit siyang natigilan. "It must be my massager," she whispered as she got up. Um-order kasi siya ng back massager online noong isang araw, at iyon lang ang inaasahan niyang darating. Good thing she was wearing an oversized tee now so it's fine if she would still not wear a bra. Hindi naman gaanong halata, at isa pa'y mukhang naiirita na ito sa kahihintay na pagbuksan niya ng pinto. Baka mamaya pala ay may iba pa itong kailangang i-deliver.

She's living in a studio-type condo unit in Nievieras' Condominiums and had been living alone since she was in college. Her adoptive parents never wanted to let her live alone, but she persuaded them when she told them she'd visit them frequently. Mabuti na lang at doon sa kanila nakatira ang ulila niyang pinsan kaya kahit paano'y panatag siyang may kasama ang mga magulang.

Tumunog na naman ang doorbell kaya nagmadali siyang makalapit. She even forgot to wear her furry slippers.

She opened the door and was welcomed by the musk scent of the hunk guy in front of her. She felt something tingled inside her as she looked into his oh-so-handsome-but-stern face.

What a hot delivery guy, Aniya sa isipan. Napalunok siya nang hindi mapigilan ang pagkamangha sa lalaking nasa tapat niya. And he kind of look familiar.

"Delivery for Miss Lexi Ianna Osmeña," he said coldly.

Doon siya natauhan at binitiwan ang pagkakahawak sa seradura ng pinto, 'tsaka tumuwid ng tayo. "Ah, yes. That's me."

Halata sa pagtitig nito ang pagkadisgusto sa kaniya pero hindi na niya pinansin.

"Where should I sign?" she asked when he handed her the package.

"Here." Itinuro nito kung saan.

Dahil nahihirapan ay pinahawak muna niya saglit ang maliit na package para pumirma. Their arms even brushed off slightly and she felt weird. It was like she wanted him to touch her more. That she wanted to nestle in his sturdy arms at that moment.

She was done signing her signature over printed name and was almost closing the door when she noticed that the package was opened. Hindi iyon mahahalata sa unang tingin at kung hindi siya alerto ay hindi niya na rin mapapansin hanggang sa mabuksan ang package.

"Wait!" tawag niya sa paalis nang delivery guy. "Bakit parang nakabukas ito?"

Tumaas ang kilay nito at bumaba ang tingin sa hawak niyang package. Agad na kumunot ang noo. Hindi ito sumagot, tila hindi siya pinaniniwalaan.

"Tingnan mo, o!" Inilapit niya ang package dito.

"I can clearly see."

"See? I told you!"

The side of his lips rose but it was obvious he wasn't really smiling. He looked pissed off. "Yes. I can see that you aren't wearing anything underneath. And that, your nipples are showing through."

She blinked twice out of confusion, then she looked down. "Shit!" Tinaas niya ang package sa bandang dibdib niya para matakpan ang mga iyon. She really didn't notice that her nipples were hard. Nang ch-in-eck naman niya ang sarili kanina bago ito pagbuksan ng pinto ay hindi bakat ang mga iyon. Kaya kailan nangyari iyon? Was it when she was ogling over this hot delivery guy a while ago? Napalunok siya't paniguradong pulang-pula na ang kaniyang mukha sa kahihiyan.

"If this is one of your tactics so I'd do your sexual fantasies, then, I'm sorry, I am not the perfect delivery guy for you."

"What the fuck?!"

Ngumisi ito. "Your sensual face is lovely, it would be great to see you moaning while you're riding me. But, sorry Miss Sensual, you are not my type." Ang diin ng pagkakasabi nito sa huling limang kataga.

Naiwan siyang nakamaang at nakatulala habang tinitingnan ang papalayong bulto ng aroganteng delivery guy na iyon.

She just shrugged her shoulders and looked back at the package. It was really slightly opened, so she didn't mind going in yet, then she started opening it. Hindi siya nagkamaling bukas na nga iyon dahil hindi siya nahirapan sa pagbukas. It wasn't even sealed just as how packages should be.

To her horror, there was a bloody knife inside the package that was stabbed in a photograph of her smiling parents. Kaagad na naihagis niya iyon sa labas kasabay nang matinis niyang pagtili, at paupong natumba sa sobrang gulat at takot na namayani sa kaniyang sistema.
