92: Her ring

SAM'S POV

As his threat finally dawn on me, all the restraining feelings that I had kept to myself let loose.

My hand swiftly removed his hand from my tummy and I was about to elbow his side pero bago ko pa man magawa 'yon, I cried out in pain when he suddenly yanked my hair saka hinila ako sa may gilid ng gate, sa tagong bahagi at sa mas madilim na bahagi. And I cursed out a breath when he suddenly shoved me onto the wall before us. I hissed in pain at the sudden contact of my face onto the cold cemented wall and before I could even cursed him out to death, I felt his gun at the back of my head again.

"Wag mong isiping kaya mo 'kong itumba gaya ng ginawa mo sa mga bata ko noon, Ms. Javier. I'm the one who have a gun here at pwedeng-pwede ko'tong iputok ngayon sa ulo mo kung gugustuhin ko.. naiintindihan mo ba'ko??"

I couldn't help but just clenched my teeth hard when he hissed that, so fucking hard that I think my teeth will crack in no time dahil sa higpit nito. I'm just dying to kill him now  before I'd ever let him touch my baby!

"Akala mo ba talaga natatakot ako sa'yo? Do you think I would even let you touch my baby?? The hell you can!  I'll make sure to kill you first bago mo paman magagawa yang gusto mo. I promised----- ah!!" I cried out again nang bigla na lamang nyang higpitan ang pagkakahila nya sa buhok ko sabay subsob pa lalo ng mukha ko sa malamig na cemento, making me totally immobile and useless.

Dammit! Kung medyo maliwanag lang sana sa bandang 'to, magagawa ko man lang sanang kilalanin ang mukha nito ngayon. But since I could barely see anything now dahil sa maliit na ilaw mula sa loob ng building, I think it would just be futile kahit na tatangkain ko pang labanan 'to ngayon.

"Promises. I know you love making promises, Ms. Javier.. just like how you had promised to find that ring before.. that ring that could lead you to the person who had actlly murdered your parents.. pero anong ginawa mo? Kinalimutan mo na agad ang bagay na'yon. Kinalimutan mo na agad ang paghahanap ng singsing na'yon after you've met Cameron del Fuero."

With that ring being brought up, I went rigid at that as my breathing became more ragged. Especially when my clear memory about it coming back on me. Ang mismong singsing na napanaginipan ko kanina!

And he knows about that ring! The ring that I've almost forgotten hanggang mapanaginipan ko naman yon kanina..

O and F.. kahit ano pamang ibig sabihin ng dalawang letrang 'yon, ayoko ng malaman pa dahil kilala ko narin naman ang may-ari nito.

"John Enriquez. John Enriquez owned that damn ring at hindi ko na kailangan pang hanapin 'yon dahil nakabulok narin naman ngayon sa kulungan ang taong 'yon. Ang may- ari ng singsing na'yon! Kaya kahit na ano pang sabihin mo, hindi mo'ko magagawang takutin-----"

"Kahit sabihin kong hindi naman talaga ang ama mo ang may-ari ng singsing na'yon ganun ba, Ms. Javier??"

That got me shut my mouth at the hear of that.

Anong pinagsasabi nya? He must be trying to fool me now kaya kahit ano nalang ang sinasabi nito ngayon. Just to make me give into his threat. To give him the blueprint na nasa mga kamay ni Cameron ngayon. Hindi ko man alam ang tungkol dito, hindi ko maaaring ibigay 'yon sa taong to dahil kailangan ko pang malaman kung ano ang meron sa pesteng blueprint na'yon!

"Alam na alam ko kung kanino ang singsing na'yon, Ms. Javier and I'm sure you wouldn't want to know that dahil kapag nalaman mo 'yon, tyak hindi mo kakayanin 'yon..."

"Then tell me.. tell me kung kanina talaga ang singsing na'yon!" Naiinip ng asik ko sa kanya habang nagpupumilit ng makawala sa mahigpit pagkakahawak nya sa buhok ko but I groaned in utter annoyance  when I just heard him laugh again, mocking me with its sound.

"Poor woman.." panunuyang saad nito when his laugh died down. "Kung ako sa'yo, hindi ko na nanaisin pang alamin kung kanino ang singsing na'yon. You don't want to despise the man you're so fond of, do you?"

That made me stop my futile attempt to be out of his hold.

"Fond of? Anong ibig mong sabihin??" Kinakabahang tanong sa kanya, preparing myself for what he was going to answer.

Fond of.. sino ba ang tinutukoy nya?

"Fond means... Someone you've trusted so much, Ms. Javier. Someone you've cared so much.."

My eyes widened more at that as the thudding inside my chest intensified.

Someone I trusted and cared so much.... Sino bang tinutukoy nya? Sino sa mga taong pinagkakatiwalaan ko? 

I've trusted no one before but now, there's my baby, my mother and-----

"And I love you, my bastard. I want to live now dahil sa'yo, dahil nakilala kita at dahil mahal kita.."

My breathing completely halted when that echoed in my head. With me admitting my feelings for some bastard.

Cameron. Cameron who became part of my life now. This man couldn't be possibly hinting about him now, could he?

I quickly shrugged that thoughts off my mind.

"Kung sinasabi mong may kinalaman si Cameron sa singsing na'yon, Hindi mo'ko maloloko. He was nothing like a man that would murder anyone so don't try to fool me now dahil alam ko kung kanino ang singsing na'yon and it was John Enriquez's! At maaaring ikaw rin ang kasama nya noon!"

Again, he just laughed. Annoying me more with the sound he make.

"Wala pa naman akong sinasabing pangalan, Ms. Javier pero kung yan ang tingin mong ipinahihiwatig ko then I guess I'll just let it that way.. "

"No! Wag mong idamay si Cameron sa mga kagaguhang ginawa nyo noon! He's nothing like you!"Galit ko ng asik sa kanya habang nagpupumiglas paring makawala sa mariin nyang pagkakatulak sakin sa pader dahil nangangati na ang mga kamay kong masuntok ang pagmumukha nito.

But to my utter annoyance,mas lalo lang nitong idiniin ang baril nito sa ulo ko sabay subsob pa lalo sa'kin with his hand still gripping my hair tightly.

Kung kagaya lang sana noon ang buhay ko ngayon, suicidal and have nothing to lose, edi sana kanina ko pa nilabanan ito. I would've fight him head on without any hesitations pero hindi. I have people that I can't bear to leave now and that's the one stopping me to make a reckless move now.

"Relax, Ms. Javier. Alam ko namang ayaw mong maging ganun ang pinakamamahal mo pero alam ko kung sino ang tunay na pumatay sa mga magulang mo so why don't you make a deal with me, Ms. Javier.? Kukunin mo kay Cameron ang blueprint na gusto ko at ibibigay mo 'yon sa'kin.. And in exchange for that, sasabihin ko sa'yo ang lahat ng nalalaman ko."

"And what makes you think na gagawin ko 'yon aber?? Alam ko na ngayon kung sino ang pumatay sa pamilya ko at nakabulok na sya ngayon sa kulungan at isusunod kita sa kanya----ah!" I cried out again nang ninubnob nya pa lalo ang mukha ko sa matigas na pader sabay diin pa lalo ng baril nito sa ulo ko and I felt like it had almost dug into my flesh now.

Bweset!

"Don't be so difficult. Alam ko namang umaasa karin na sana hindi talaga ang ama mo ang pumatay sa mga nakilala mong magulang at wala ka namang ibang gagawin kundi ibigay sa'kin ang blueprint na hawak ni Cameron at tapos. Malalaman mo narin sa wakas kung sino talaga ang taong hinahanap mo. Ang mismong taong sumira sa perpektong buhay mo noon. How about that?"

God knows how much I wanted to shout at him now to fuck off but his damn words just stopping me to do it. Dahil kahit na kinasusuklaman ko ang John Enriquez na'yon, I can't still deny the fact na umaasa parin ako na sana hindi 'yon totoo.. na sana hindi sya 'yong sumira sa buhay ko.. na sana hindi ito ganun kasamang tao...

At pwedeng mangyari ang mga bagay na'yon if I'll just give him what he want.

The blueprint. The blueprint na nasa mga kamay ni Cameron ngayon..

"Come to think of it. I only want the blueprint and after that, malalaman mo na lahat kung ano talaga ang tunay na nangyari noon. Kung sino talaga ang may pakana ng pagkamatay ng pamilya mo. Just the blueprint..and nothing else."  bulong nito malapit sa tenga ko when I didn't uttered a response.

Naguguluhan na'ko. Naguguluhan na'ko kung anong gagawin ko. Should I make a deal with him o hindi ko na dapat pansinin to and just let John Enriquez be the man that he was accused now?

As my murderer father..

"Bilisan mo na ang pag-iisip ng sagot mo, Ms. Javier. We don't have all the night here para-----"

"Samantha? Are you there?"

Our gazes were snapped to where that familiar deep voice came from.

Cameron!

"Cam---hmmmmf!" I wasn't able to call his name nang bigla na nyang tinakpan ang bibig ko and then pulled me to the more darker area behind the wall.

"Hahayaan na muna kitang mag-isip ngayon sa magiging sagot mo pero tandaan mong hindi ko kayang maghintay ng matagal. Tomorrow. If you choose the right answer, magkita tayo sa mismong daan kung saan namatay ang pamilya mo noon, Ms. Javier.. Siguraduhin mong magiging tama ang sagot mo dahil kung hindi, hindi ako magdadalawang-isip na kunin ang pinakamahalagang bagay sa'yo." Mariing banta pa nito sa'kin and before I could even cursed him out, itinulak na'ko nito sabay bitaw sa'kin saka patakbo ng umalis sa lugar na'yon.

Nang hindi ko man lang namumukhaan ang mukha nito.

At kahit gusto ko mang habulin ito, my legs won't just let me with it trembling terribly. Ang tanging nagawa ko lang ay nanginginig na napapaupo sa gilid ng pader while watching that man's shadow disappeared through the darkness.

"Samantha?"

I slowly gazed to my left when I heard him again, him who was closely looking at me now habang kunot ang noo nito. Na para bang pilit nya parin akong sinisino. But after awhile na mamukhaan na nya'ko, dali-dali na itong lumapit sa tabi ko.

"What are you doing here? It's too cold out here kaya anong ginagawa mo rito sa labas---" he suddenly paused talking the moment na nahawakan nya' ang mga braso ko. Probably with me still shaking in fear.

"What happened? Bakit nanginginig ka, Samantha? May nangyari ba rito before I came? May---"

"W-Wala. Walang nangyari.. okay lang ako.." agad na pagsisinungaling ko sa kanya, trying to appear fine kahit na nanginginig parin ako hanggang ngayon.

Ayoko lang malaman nya kung anong nangyari, kung anong gustong mangyari ng taong 'yon dahil ayokong mag-alala ito.

But knowing him, I don't think he was convinced by that because he just groaned in disapproval sabay buhat sa'kin. My trembling hands instantly clung on his neck with my want to feel his warmth.

"You don't seem like you are fine to me. Kung gusto mo sanang lumabas, you should've woke me up para masamahan kita rito. Alam mong delikado rito sa labas pero lumabas ka paring mag-isa rito."

Napapasimangot na lamang ako while listening to his sermon as he started to head inside the gate now and into the inn.

Nagagawa nya pa talagang pagalitan ako ngayon when I just came from being harassed by some demon!

"At naisipan mo pa talagang umupo rito sa gilid ng daan sa ganitong dis-oras ng gabi. Alam mong hindi makabubuti sa'yo ang----"

"I was hungry bastard at ayokong distorbuhin ka sa tulog mo that's why I came out on my own!"

That made him glanced down at me with a frown on his face.

"You're hungry pero hindi mo parin ako ginising, Samantha. You know I won't even have a second thought na samahan ka rito sa labas. Buti nalang at naalimpungatan ako kaya napansin ko agad na nawawala ka." Matigas paring tugon nito before he marched down towards my room.

"Oh yeah. Humihilik ka pa nga and you wanted me to wake you up! Ang sama ko naman yata kung didisturbuhin pa kita!"

"You will never be a disturb to me kaya kung ano man ang gusto mong gawin, sabihin mo agad sa'kin."

Hindi na'ko umimik pa when he replied that. He's just worried of course so all I did was just stared up at him while thinking back at that man's words.

".... You don't want to despise the man you're so fond of, do you?"

"....Someone you've trusted so much, Ms. Javier. Someone you've cared so much.."

"..Siguraduhin mong magiging tama ang sagot mo dahil kung hindi, hindi ako magdadalawang-isip na kunin ang pinakamahalagang bagay sa'yo."

My hands balled in tight fists when his threat echoed in my head.

Hindi ko mapapayagang mangyari 'yon. Parang maraming alam ang taong 'yon kaya tingin ko alam rin ni Cameron ang blueprint na'yon. Alam nya but he just kept it to himself. And I know he have his reason why he want to keep it that way.

"Bukod sa file na'yon, may ibang bagay ka pa bang nakita kasama 'yon, Cameron?"

Agad na Napatigil ito sa tapat ng pintuan ng silid ko saka kunot noong tumingin ito sa'kin.

"Ibang bagay? What do you mean?"

"May ibang bagay kabang nadiskubre maliban sa file na'yon?"

He didn't answered right away at nanatili lang itong nakatingin sa'kin ng maigi. With enough lighting around, kitang-kita ko ang reaksyon nito. He was trying to read my thoughts.

But after awhile of just staring at me, napansin kong bumuntong-hininga ito before he pushed open the door na nasa harap namin saka pumasok sa loob.

"Yes. Meron nga, Samantha and I'm sorry kung hindi ko agad sinabi 'yon sa'yo dahil tingin ko hindi na naman natin 'yon kailangan. We only need the file anyway."

When he answered that pagkababa nya sa'kin sa kama, a relieved sigh escaped from me. Hindi ko man lang alam na pinipigilan ko ang hininga ko kanina while waiting for his answer. Siguro dahil sa kinakabahan ako na baka magsinungaling uli  'to sa'kin.

Of course, Cameron won't just make a lie without his reasons.

"Ba't mo pala naitanong? May napanaginipan ka ba kanina bukod sa pagiging masama ko sa panaginip mo?"

At the mention of that, hindi ko maiwasang maalala na naman ang singsing na'yon.

"A ring..."

When I blurted that out, Agad na umarko ang kaliwang kilay nito saka ito nagkibit ng balikat while giving me a knowing smirk.

"A ring ba kamo? Why don't you take a look at your left hand now nang makita mo ang----" agad na napatigil ito sa pagsasalita when his gaze landed on my hand that was resting on my thigh. And then with creased brows, mabilis na itong lumapit sa'kin then took my left hand to inspect it.

"What the hell??! Nasan na ang singsing mo, Samantha? I'm certain that I've put it in your finger bago ako natulog kanina so where is it??" Sunod-sunod  na usisa nito while hawkishly inspecting my hand. Kulang nalang baliktarin nito ang mga inosenteng kuko ko just to find his ring.

Gusto ko pa sanang usisain ito tungkol sa singsing at blueprint na nabanggit ng taong 'yon kanina. But just seeing his funny reaction now, why don't we just tease him now and just think about that blueprint later?

"Where is it, Samantha? Where's your ring? Nalingat lang ako sandali, naiwala mo na agad ang singsing na'yon?? You're impossible, Sam---"

"Wala na.. naisangla ko na.."

"WHAT??!"

I grimaced when he suddenly snapped that in a rather loud voice habang mas lalo pang tumalim ang tingin nito sa'kin, dark eyes sharply boring into my own na para bang handa na nya'kong kainin ng buo.

"Naisangla mo na?? Have you gone mad, Samantha???"

I just rolled my eyes at him saka kibit-balikat ng tumingin sa kanya, ignoring his murderous look.

"Hindi pa naman ako nababaliw, Mr. Del Fuero. Nagipit lang ako kanina kaya isinangla ko nalang muna. Nagutom ako kanina and I haven't brought any money with me and it just happened na may magandang singsing sa kamay ko kaya ayun, isinangla ko na sa halagang isang libo dun sa store attendant kanina. Good thing I have found that ring in my hand so I was saved. I and your baby actually." I pointed out at him.

I almost laugh at his reaction when he just gaped at me with an utter disbelief written all over his face pagkarinig nito sa mga sinabi ko.

"You--You did what? Isang libo? Ipinagpalit mo'yon sa isang libo???" Hindi parin makapaniwalang tanong nito, obviously confirming it if he had really heard that from me at hindi lang ito niloloko ng mga tenga nito.

"Yes. You heard it right. Ganun na nga ang ginawa ko. Bakit? May mali ba sa ginawa ko? Singsing lang naman 'yon at hindi ko naman alam kung bakit nasa kamay ko 'yon." I answered with a shrug, pretending that I have no idea na galing yon sa kanya.

When I answered that, napapahilamos na lamang ito ng kamay sa sariling mukha nito while looking like he was ready to burst out in aggravation pero pinipigilan lang nitong sumabog sa harapan ko.

"Oh my God, Samantha!! Tinatanong mo pa talaga ngayon kung may mali ba sa ginawa mo when it really was! I've spent a hefty sum just to get that rare ring for you at isinangla mo lang 'yon sa isang libo?? Isang libo! Seriously??? I can't believe you.. This is unacceptable!" Aburidong sermon nito habang simasabunutan ang sarili nito while he kept pacing back and forth before me,  making his already disheveled hair a complete mess.

Tsk, tsk... At this rate, baka makalbo na ito dahil sa ginagawa nito sa sarili nito.

"Pinaghirapan ko pang hanapin ang singsing na'yon just to give you the best engagement ring and then malalaman ko nalang na ipagpapalit mo lang 'yon sa isang libo??? Sa isang libo?? Jesus!! God must be punishing me now..." Madrama pang pagpapatuloy nito while heaving up with deep breaths. Namumula na ang mukha nito ngayon, probably sa kunsumisyong idinulot ko rito.

Gusto ko na talagang matawa sa kanya ngayon but I just stop myself dahil gusto ko pang makita ang magiging reaksyon nito sa sasabihin ko.

"Hindi ko naman kasi alam na galing sa'yo ang singsing na'yon. At kung alam ko naman, malay ko ba na totoong bato pala yong nasa singsing na ibinigay mo. Tinaasan ko pa sana 'yong presyo. Tsk, tsk..."

At the hear of that, mas lalo pang napatanga ito sa harapan ko with his mouth hang-agape.

"I-I can't believe you.."

When he utterred that in almost a whisper, I just waved off my hand at him and just pointedly look at him.

"Well you have no choice but to believe me now dahil tapos na. Kalimutan mo na ang singsing na'yon. Binlackmail mo lang naman ako para magpakasal sa'yo so it's just fine kahit wala ng singsing. Matulog nalang tayo---"

My mouth snapped shut when suddenly, may isang likidong biglang tumulo sa pisngi nito while looking at me with that ---teary eyes!

Holy shit!

"So ganun nalang 'yon, Samantha? Just because I had blackmailed you to marry me, wala ng halaga sa'yo ang singsing na'yon ganun ba? You don't need a ring from me dahil napilitan ka lang na pakasalan ako." Panimula pa nito, looking like a kid being deprived of his candies.

But that wasn't the case here, ngayon ko lang ito nakitang umiyak sa harapan ko dahilan para tarantang mapatayo ako mula sa kinauupuan ko. Lalo na nang magsimula ng umingos-ingos ito before grudgingly wiped his tears with his arm.

And this isn't what I expected to happen!

"Siguro desperado na nga talaga ako dahil pinilit kitang magpakasal sa'kin when in fact, wala ka talagang balak na magpakasal sa'kin dahil balak mo parin akong iwan sa huli. Tama ba'ko, Samantha? Kaya walang halaga sa'yo ang singsing na'yon---"

"No. Mali ka. Mahalaga 'yon sa'kin."

Nang itugon ko yon, a scoff instantly escaped from him habang napapailing-iling sa'kin.

"Mahalaga?? Isinangla mo ang singsing na'yon and now you're saying na mahalaga 'yon sa'yo? Parang ang hirap naman yatang paniwalaan nun, Samantha!"

Again, I just rolled my eyes at him saka lumapit rito, ignoring his deep growl and his glare.

"Kapag sinabi kong mahalaga 'yon sa'kin, walang bahid na pagsisinungaling 'yon, Cameron so quit with your drama now dahil hindi bagay sa'yo ang umiiyak. Ang laki-laki mong tao pero dahil lang sa singsing na'yon, umiiyak kana?? Pano pa kaya kung sinabi ko ng isinangla ko na pati magiging baby natin, eh di nagpatiwakal ka na ngayon huh?"

Agad na napapasimangot ito nang sabihin ko 'yon pagkalapit sa kanya habang kibit parin ang mga balikat ko.

"Then what do you expect me to do then? Magsaya dahil isinangla mo na ang singsing na pinaghirapan kong hanapin  para lang sa'yo, ganun ba?"

"No. Gusto kong magsaya ka dahil hindi totoo ang lahat ng sinabi ko sa'yo."

Agad na kumunot ang noo nito when I admitted my lies.

"What do you mean? Anong hindi totoo?"

I heaved in a deep breath when he asked that in confusions. Okay, sasabihin ko na sa kanya.

"Nasa sa'kin parin yong singsing mo gago so enough with your crying now dahil hindi bagay sa'yo."

That made him blinked his eyes at me habang parang hindi parin kumbinsidong nakatingin sa'kin. Leaving me no choice kundi hugutin ang singsing mula sa bulsa ko to prove na hindi ko lang ito binibiro.

"Eto na. Nakikita mo ba ang singsing na'to?" I queried habang bitbit na ang singsing na'yon malapit sa mukha nya before I slid it back on my finger.

Relief and surprise flooded through his face at the sight of it.

"That's the proof na binibiro lang kita at nakakatawa ang mukha mo kapag umiiyak ka." I teased while grinning at him in amusement.

Mas lalo pang sumimangot ang mukha nito ngayon habang nakasipat sa'kin, causing me to chuckle at his reaction.

"You--You've lied to me?"

"Yes. Niloko nga kita." I replied without even denying it. "Hinubad ko lang 'to kanina dahil sa takot ko na baka nakawin 'to ng kung sinong poncio pilato sa daan so I keep it safe in my pocket bastard. At hindi totoong isinangla ko 'to dahil hindi ako tanga para isangla 'to sa isang libo. This is just too precious for me to even sell this. At kahit maging mumurahin lang ang singsing na'to, I'll still keep it with me like a dear treasure.. So stop the drama now."

The bastard just gave me a long face at hindi parin nawawala ang tampo sa mukha nito.

"Totoo ba ang lahat ng 'yon? Yong mga sinabi mo?"

I just heaved in a deep breath before I answered him with patience.

"Tinatanong pa ba'yon? Kapag sinabi kong mahal kita at papakasalan kitang gago ka, walang bahid na biro 'yon. At saka lumapit ka nga rito." utos ko rito while motioning him to come closer with my index finger.

He didn't complied right away pero mga ilang sandali lang naman, nakasimangot parin itong lumapit sa'kin kahit nakanguso parin.

"What? Ano na namang kalokohan ang sasabihin mo?" He queried in a pout pagkalapit nito sa'kin.

I just smirked at him then without any warning, I cupped his cheeks with my hands before I gave him a quick peck on his lips with tippy toes. After that short kiss, nanatili pa ring nakasimangot ito sa'kin.

"Quit with that look now. Bayad ko na yan sa'yo kaya wag ka ng sumimangot. Matulog na lang uli tayo. Ang pangit mong tingnan pag umiiyak." Nakangising aya ko na sa kanya saka hinila ito sa kamay to head back to the bed to resume our sleep.

But I frowned when he wasn't even moving at all.  With a glare, agad na'kong humarap uli sa kanya.

"What? Why aren't you moving at all? Gusto mo bang kargahin kita dyan papunta sa kama dahil nagtatampo ka parin sa'kin?"

My brow shot up when a small smirk slowly appeared on his mouth habang nakatingin ito sa'kin with a knowing look in his eyes. A look that tells me that he was up to something.

"What's with that smile in your face now?"

Mas lalo pang umarko ang kilay ko when his smile turned into a grin. He's really up to something.

"Don't give me---ay!" I yelped out nang biglaan nalang nya'kong hilahin palapit sa kanya and before I could even react, I was imprisoned in his arms.

"Anong ginagawa mo, Cameron?" Kunot-noong tanong ko na sa kanya while glaring up at him.

"Well, tingin mo ba papayagan nalang kitang matulog ngayon after you've make fun of me? Do you really think that a quick kiss was enough payment for that? I don't think so, Samantha.." came his tease while his hands kept stroking on my back now.

Talagang may pinaplano ang gagong 'to.

"Ano bang gusto mong kabayaran nun? Suntok ba gusto mo nang makapagpahinga na tayo?"

"No. Hindi suntok but this."

And then with that, walang pakundangan na nitong sinilyuhan ang mga labi ko. Kissing me while his hands stopping me to move.

His kiss wasn't gentle, it was more like a punishment for making fun of him. And I'd be a fool kung sasabihin kong hindi ko rin nagugustuhan ang halik nyang 'to.

Returning his kisses, I clung onto his neck and pulled his head to me, causing him to groan against my lips. And I think he had taken that as his cue to deepen the kiss while his hands started to take off my jacket without cutting the kiss.

And I won't deny na neexcite rin ako sa ginagawa nito ngayon. With haste, dali-dali ko naring tinanggal ang butones ng suot nito, desperate to feel his warmth on my skin. It didn't took me long to unbotton his shirt saka hinubad ito mula sa kanya and the moment my hands made contact of his skin, he made an incoherent sound in his throat before he started to guide me to the bed.

And the next thing I know, tuluyan na'kong nahubaran ng pang-itaas nito, leaving only my underwear. His hands had freely explore on my back, not once releasing my lips.

And it would be unfair kung ako lang ang lalamigin dito. With that thought, my hands quickly work on his ply saka mabilis ng tinanggal ang pang-ibabang suot nito.

Just after taking off his pants, I wasn't able to stop the loud moan that had escaped from my mouth when his warm hands found my breast, more so when it started to gently knead it, sending a crazy pleasure down to my core.

Oh shit. Ang ingay ko. Dinig yata 'yon ng ibang taong nakacheck in sa lugar na'to. Nakaka----

Hindi ko na natapos ang iba ko pang iniisip when his lips began to travel down to the side of my neck while his hands just kept harassing my peaks. Hot breath fanning against my skin as my hands just kept exploring on his toned chest.

This bastard must be planning to get back on me now through this----

I yelped out in surprise nang biglaan nalang nya'kong itinulak papunta sa kama,causing me to laid flat on my back.

"Oh my God, Cameron! Kailangan mo ba talagang gulatin ako ng ganun?" Inis ko ng asik sa kanya while sending him a disapproval glare.

The bastard just smirked at me habang nakamasid lang ng maigi sa'kin, dahilan para mainis pa'ko lalo sa kanya. Lust was all over his face while his eyes feasted my naked body. Wanted to pull him and to feel him close to me,  I was about to get up from my back pero Napatigil nalang ako when he suddenly stopped me on my arm before he smirked at me again.

"Just stay still, Ms. Javier. I haven't started with your punishment yet."

That got me frowned at him when he uttered that.

"Punishment? What punishment?"

Imbes na sagutin ako, the bastard just smirked at me again na syang ikinainis ko pa lalo.

"Well, punishment. Punishment gaya nito." And then without any words, his hand found my underwear saka walang pakundangang hinubad ito, exposing myself to him.

Holy bastard!!

"Cameron! Anong----"

"Shhh... Calm down, Samantha. Wala naman akong ibang gagawin sa'yo so just relax and just enjoy it." Nakangising saad pa nito bago ito lumuhod sa harapan ko with his hand holding each of my thighs, making my eyes bulged out in horroty dahil parang alam ko na kung anong kagaguhan ang binabalak nitong gawin sa'kin.

"Cameron! Anong binabalak mong gawin??" I whisper-yelled at him saka pilit na makawala sa pagkakahawak nya sa mga balakang ko.

But the bastard was just too strong para makawala ako sa pagkakahawak nito sa'kin at parang wala narin itong naririnig ngayon as his eyes lustfully feasted the sight of me before him.

"Just calm down, Samantha. Alam kong magugustuhan mo ang parusa na'to." And then with that, I saw his head bent down in between my thighs and I sucked a breath at the sudden contact of his mouth to my core.

Oh --my-- God!!

This bastard must've really want me dead!

When I felt his hot tongue expertly work on my core, all I could do was just moan so loud, so loud that I think the whole neighborhood could hear it. Well, I gave no care dahil sa ginagawa nito sa'kin ngayon, I think I'd go mad if I won't cry out in pleasure.
