Stonehearts 9: Sapphire

Twelve

Sooooooo.....

I have a question.

Actually, these are questions.

Is there a possibility that a woman can experience blue balls? 

Next question, if there is, what it's called then? 

Because goddamn it, the burning desire Reid left me with is something I know only he can extinguish. I tried to get rid of it. With all the toys I have in my unit, none of which gave me the satisfaction I'm craving, the unfulfilled gratification Reid planted. 

It's been three days. 

No text, no calls. 

Nothing.

I shouldn't be mad, right? Pero sana man lang umalis ng may rason na naiintidihan ko. Hindi 'yong mega walk out tapos wala man lang ni-hi or ho. Then again, I remembered what Arcie usually says, Reid will make you understand when he wants you to understand. 

"Bakit ang sungit mo naman?" Mapilyong tanong ni Aub sabay patong ng box ng pizza sa mesa ko. "Wala man lang 'Hi, Aub. Na-miss ko ang kagandahan mo!' pagkapasok ko rito."

Inirapan ko lang siya na sinagot naman niya ng maikling tawa. She texted a few minutes ago saying she'll drop by since she's near the area.

On other days, I would loooooove to have her company, but right now, I rather be alone with my thoughts.

"Nako, nako, nako. Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko." She exclaimed. I stopped typing and looked at her. She squinted her eyes all knowingly. "Hoy, Elora Isabelle Sapphire, 'wag mong sabihing in-love ka na kay Clark Kent with tattooes ha!"

Whatever gave her that idea made me laugh. "Sira ka sa tuktok!" Tugon ko.

I saw her visibly relaxing her shoulders, "Eh ano nga? Bakit napakasungit mo?"

"Wala! Naiinis lang ako. Kasi, dapat, isusuko ko na ang Bataan sa kanya. Tapos-"

"Ateng, matagal mo ng naisuko 'yan."

"Ano ba? Makikinig ka ba o hindi?" Masungit na sabi ko. Sandali siyang tumawa saka sumenyas na para bang zi-ni-zipper nito ang kanyang mga labi.

"Anyway, andoon na kami. We're in that moment. Tapos 'yong kumag biglang sumagot ng tawag at biglang nagmadali umalis. Ni-hi ni-ho wala, umalis na lang ng walang anu-ano."

"Sino ba tumawag kay Papi Kent? Wait, lang. Walang awoj 'yon, ha! Baka naman the other woman Anne Curtis beauty pala ang peg mong bakla ka!" Saka niya ako binato ng hot sauce na siya namang inihagis ko pabalik sa kanya.

"Sa tingin mo papayag akong maging kabit? Sa ganda kong 'to?" Ani ko na may kasamang irap. "Kapatid niya ang tumawag sa kanya. Apparently, as I've heard from his friends, basta si Colette ang usapan. He'll drop everything and go, no questions asked."

Aubrey just shook her head while she's spreading hot sauce on the slice of pizza she's helping herself with. "Well, kung ang gusto mo lang naman ay makahanap ng mg-reresucitate sa iyong pechay, I can give you selections."

"Shuta ka! Hindi pa naman lanta ang lagay nitong pechay ko."

"Ay nako, mare. For sure, hindi na fresh harvest 'yan gawa ng matagal ng 'di nadiligan!" She immediately replied before biting from her pizza.

"Ewan ko sa'yo! Bakit ka nga ba ulit narito at naninira ng araw ng may araw?" Pag-iiba ko sa topic. 

Isinara niya ang Macbook ko bago ito pinatungan ng paper plate na may pizza. "Kumain ka muna." She ordered. Kumibit-balikat na lamang ako, may ugali kasi si Aub na gusto niya lagi siyang may kasabay kumain.
