Wicked Ways 1

Chapter 23

"Earth to-"

"Cut it out!" I snapped at him. "I'm not staring into something, I'm spacing out."

Nawala ang ismid sa mukha nya at napalitan iyon ng pagaalala, at pagkadismaya? "Is it Jareth again?"

No, actually, It's you. And now, having my bestfriend being mentioned, you're making me guilty! Dahil imbis na siya ang isipin ko, puro kahalayaan ang nasa utak ko!

"Yes, it's Jareth." pagsisisinungaling ko.

What am I doing? Nawawala pa rin ang bestfriend ko. Four days na mula ng magising si Lav at wala na ang kaibigan ko sa tabi niya. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin sya nagpapakita. All I have is his short-and-doesnt-reveal-anything text message from last night saying he was okay and that I should not bother looking for him. Uuwi din daw siya, in time.

Anong in time? Kelan yun? After a few days?

Months? Years?

Nalungkot nanaman tuloy ako. Tumayo na 'ko at hinugasan ko ang pinagkainan ko. I can feel Ram watching me, habang naghuhugas ako sa tabi niya.

"Alis ka dyan, baka mabasa ka." sabi ko lang sa kanya.

"Dont worry, Charlie. If he says, he's fine, then he's fine. Uuwi din yun." he tapped me at my back pero saglit na saglit lang, like he's being careful not to make a long contact.

Then a light bulb came flashing in my head. Oh that's it! He's teasing me! He's trying to get me make the first move! Oh you naughty little sh*t! Halos mapangisi ako sa naisip ko. Ganun pala ha? Well, Ram Sobrevega, two can play that game.

Ram

I cleared my throat as Charlie walked back and forth the kitchen as she searched for her "missing phone". Ewan ko ba sa babaeng 'to! I know for sure she's deliberately doing this. Strutting around with only a t-shirt on, and some lacy panties.

Sinasabi ko na nga ba at magbabackfire sa'kin 'tong kalokohan ko. Iniiwasan ko kasi siya, tinitingnan ko kung kaya niyang tiisin na wala kaming contact. Nung una confident pa ko na sya ang unang maglalambing sakin. Pero lumipas ang isang araw na hindi man lang niya 'ko hinahawakan!

She challenged me. Sige, tingnan natin if she really can keep her hands off me. Sa totoo lang, matagal na sana kong bumigay. I wanted to touch her so bad. I wanted to make love to her, lalo na ngayong alam ko na tapos na ang period niya. Kung hindi lang ako naiinis sa kanya this past few days dahil sa nonstop nyang pagbanggit kay Jareth, I would have pinned her to the bed and f*ck her senseless!

But now, I'm about to snap! It's not fair! Halata naman na sineseduce niya ko. She's freakin heartless!

"Sigurado ka bang di mo nakita?" she's even looking at me differently. Bahagyang namumungay ang mata nya. Oh you-!

"Hindi nga." I groaned. Tumagilid ako para maitago ang nagsisimula ko ng bumukol na harapan.

"Paano tayo makakaalis nyan?!"

Lintek naman! Umiiwas na nga ko ng tingin. Talagang sinasadya pa nyang bumalandra sa harap ko! Nagtungo sya sa sala. Kumekendeng pa! Then suddenly, she bent over something, giving me a good view of her butt and legs.

Oh holy sh*t! I wanna take a bite of those sexy ass! Halos maexpose na nga un dahil napaka skimpy ng suot nyang underwear. She's going overboard!

God! How am I gonna drive to the track with a boner?!

"You know what? Just get dressed." I said. "Pag hindi ka pa tapos in ten minutes, iiwan na kita!"

She just looked at me with those not so innocent eyes. My throat starting to get dry looking at how lovely her shirt stretches over her breasts. Then she grinned wickedly at me and scooted to her room.
