Chapter Twenty Four
Axel’s POV
“Bye, Mr. Lavigne. See you later.” Valerie said before giving me a kiss on the cheek. "I love you."
“Bumaba ka na, baka may makakita pa sa’yo.” I said in an even voice.
She opened the car door and got out. She waved at me before turning around, I watched her head to the building’s entrance and only drove off when she finally got inside. Araw-araw siyang sumasabay sa akin papunta sa trabaho. I drop her off in front of the building and drive to the parking lot to park my car. I didn’t want anyone to see us together. Mapapagusapan kami kung palaging makikita ng empleyado ko na kasabay kong pumasok at umuwi si Valerie. Tristan and Jaime would fucking kill me if they find out that we were living together. At work, she was just an employee. Outside, I don’t know…
It had been a week since she moved in with me. The whole house always smells of vanilla and peach. My bathroom cabinet was filled with her beauty products. There were pink fluffy pillows on my bed and pink things scattered all over our room. She takes too long in the shower and putting on makeup. She tortures me with watching those stupid shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians in our room before we sleep. She likes to sleep with a nightlight on while I don’t. Marami pa kaming hindi mapagkasunduan ni Valerie. But despite all that, I have to admit, I like having her around.
I like going to sleep at night with her next to me and waking up to see her right there. I have learned to appreciate the smell of her vanilla scented perfume. Siya ang nagluluto ng breakfast at dinner. Siya ang nag-aayos ng susuotin ko tuwing umaga. She made my place feel, I don’t know, homey.
Hindi na din ako lumalabas at pumupunta sa mga club katulad ng dati pagkagaling sa trabaho. Hindi dahil sa pinipigilan niya ako. All of a sudden a quiet night cuddled up next to her while she watches those stupid fucking tv shows were more appealing than drinking booze and making out with random women at a club. Feeling the warmth of her body against mine was more satisfying than having myself buried in another woman’s pussy or mouth. There were no sex involved between me and Val, be it oral, anal or vaginal. It wasn’t something I was used to. Women to me were only there for sex, and sex only. And what was happening between us… it was a territory that I had vowed never to explore.
I didn’t want any form of intimicy with her. Pero iyon ang nangyayari. I needed to stick to my guns. I would never fucking want or need a woman for anything other than sex. I couldn’t take the chance of getting emotionally close to Valerie. I couldn’t let that happen.
Valerie’s POV
It was already seven in the evening. I turned off my computer and leaned back to my seat. Tapos na ako sa trabaho ko which means magkikita na ulit kami ni Axel. Just as I was stretching my arms, my phone suddenly rang. A wide smile spread over my lips when I saw Axel’s name on the screen.
“Axel.” Nakangiting sabi ko ng sagutin ko iyon.
“Huwag mo na akong hintayin. Mauna ka ng umuwi. I called a chauffeur to drive you home. Hinihintay ka na niya sa labas.” Axel said. Before I could even open my mouth to say something, he hung up the phone.
I let out a deep sigh. My relationship with Axel only progressed in tiny increments. Sure, he let things go my way but he was still distant and cold. Kahit nasusunod ang lahat ng gusto ko, he never let that invisible wall between us fall. Kahit ano’ng lambing ang gawin ko sa kanya parang wala pa rin sa kanya. Kahit katabi ko siya matulog, kahit palagi akong nakadikit at nakayakap sa kanya I never got any response from him. It was as if I was always cuddling a rock.
Kahit gusto kong tanungin sa kanya kung ano ang gagawin niya, kung bakit siya hindi sasabay sa akin, kung sino ang kasama niya o kung ano’ng oras siya uuwi hindi ko magawa, I didn’t want to come off as invasive. Wala naman kaming relasyon kaya wala akong karapatan. The only thing I could do was to show him how much I love him and hope he’d finally love me back but it was harder than I thought it would be.
Inayos ko na ang mga gamit ko at nagpaalam na ako kina Nicole at Cooper. Paglabas ko ng building may isang puting kotse ang nakaparada doon. I approached the man standing next to the car and asked if he was the chauffeur that Axel had sent. Siya nga iyon. He opened the door to the back seats and I got inside it then he drove me off to Axel’s condo.
As soon as I got in the house, I went straight to the kitchen and opened up a cook book. Since matatagalan naman siya sa trabaho, I thought of making him a special and fancy dinner. Bistro roast chicken. Maybe I should surprise him with a little romantic candle light dinner tonight.
While I was waiting for the chicken to cook in the oven, I started setting up the table with plates, silverware, candles and a glass of wine for a little more romance. I went and changed my office clothes to a sexy black body hugging sweetheart dress. A handful of erotic run through my mind as I looked at myself in the mirror. Axel and I would a beautiful candle lit dinner, we would talk over a nice glass of wine then he would suddenly start to kiss me. The kiss would lead to something more, he’d carry me to his room and lay me on the bed while tell me he’s going to take me right there.
The sound of te oven timer going off rudely ripped me from my thoughts. I hurried to the kitchen to get the chicken out of the oven.
Everything was done. All I had to do was wait for him to come home.
9 o’clock became 10, became 11, became 12. I was already on my fourth glass of wine when I decided to call him. Sandaling nag-ring ang phone niya before someone answered it.
“Hello?” I was shocked to hear a woman’s voice at the end of the line.
“Hi..” My voice squeaked as I tried to hold myself together. I swallowed to clear my throat. “Pwede ko bang makausap si Axel?”
“I’m sorry, we’re busy right now, honey.” She said, giggling like a ditz.
“Who are you?” Hindi ko mapigilan ang tanungin siya.
“I’m Tricia, Axel’s girlfriend.” She answered.
Axel’s POV
“Valerie!” Nagulat ako ng makita ko si Valerie na nakaupo sa couch pagpasok ko sa unit. She was holding a glass with a bottle of wine sitting on the coffee table right in front of her. I looked at my wrist watch and it was already three in the morning. “Why are you still up?”
“Hinihintay kita.” She answered with a glazed look on her face, she wasn’t even looking at me.
“I told you not to wait for me.” I sighed.
“Do you want to eat? I made dinner for you.” She said, putting down the glass she was holding on the coffee table.
“I already ate.” Sagot ko.
She just nodded her head, I couldn’t read any emotion on her face.
“Well, I’m going to bed. Good night.” Sabi niya bago tumayo mula sa couch at pumasok sa kwarto.
Well, what the fuck did she want? A fucking explanation? Wala akong kailangan ipaliwanag sa kanya dahil wala naman kaming relasyon, pareho namin alam yun. No commitments, no string attached, no expectations, nothing.
She was already in bed when I got in our room. She was sleeping on the far side of her bed with her back turned to my side.
I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before jumping in the bed. The bed felt cold when I couldn’t feel her warmth against me. I already missed her warmth, her smell, even the way she’d place her head a little to heavy on my chest. And she was just a few fucking inches away from me. I scooted to her side a little... and a little bit more. She was just a few milimeters away from me but I still wanted her close to me. Skin against skin, warmth stoking warmth. My arm reached for her waist, pulling her closer to me. I would be lying if I say I had never felt turned on with having her this close to me, that I had never thought about fucking her. I do... alot. I get my shaft teased every night with no relief.
But the emotional fulfillment with having something so beautiful so close to me overpowers my physical needs.
Shit! What the fuck was I doing? This was something I wasn't suppose to fucking do. I don't want this. I don't want to get used to her. I don't want to need her, to have feelings I couldn't control.
I could feel the changes I was dreading. The connection between us, the chemistry. It felt inevitable. It was as if it were happening without thought or freewill.
What are you doing to me, Val?
Nagising akong wala na sa tabi ko si Valerie. I looked at the clock on the beside table. Napabalikwas ako ng makita kong 10 o'clock na. Damn! She didn't even fucking wake me up. I got out of the bed and went to the bathroom for a quick shower.
There was no Valerie waiting for me when I got out of the bathroom. I felt like my day didn't start right.
That brat. She was just a fucking brat. I shouldn't be feeling this way. She could fucking move out for all I care.
I was in a bad mood the whole day and I just couldn't fucking focus on anything. All I could think about was Valerie. I wanted to fucking see her and talk to her. I just wasn't sure what I should say. Nakasalubong siya kanina habang naglalakad papunta sa opisini ni dad. She ignored me, she didn't even fucking threw a glance at me. I wanted to come up and talk to her but my ego told me not to. It told me that I didn't need to explain anything to her.
The day ended with me not getting much work done. I just sat in my office going off at anything and everyone.
When it was time to go home I dialed Valerie's number, it rang but she didn't pick it up. Sinubukan kong tawagan ko ulit siya pero pinatay niya na ang cellphone niya. I angrily cussed. Inis na lumabas ako mula sa opisina ko para puntahan siya.
The brat wasn't fucking there anymore. I furiously dialed her number again but her phone was still off. After awhile I decided to go home, thinking she'd already went home by herself. Nang makauwi ako wala pa rin siya doon.
Where did that fucking brat go?
Tinawagan ko ang mga kaibigan niya pero hindi din daw nila kasama si Valerie. Then I thought maybe she was with her co-workers. Mabilis kong tinawagan ang sekretarya ko para kuhanin ang contacts ng katrabaho ni Valerie, including that 'cute HR guy'.
I called Nicole and someone picked it up after a couple of rings.
"Hello?" I heard someone say. I could also hear people talking and laughing in background. "Sino 'to?"
"Hey, this is Atticus." I answered in a monotone.
"A-atticus?" She repeated, sounding surprised. "Mr. Lavigne?"
"Yes. Is Valerie with you?" I asked.
After a few seconds, there was still no answer.
"Hello?"
"Ah, Mr. Lavigne, sir." She finally spoke. "Um, kasama nga po namin si Valerie."
"Can I talk to her?"
"Okay. Sandali lang po, sir." Sabi ni Nicole.
"Hi, Mr. Lavigne. Gusto mo daw ako makausap?" My jaw clenched at the sound of Valerie's slurred words. She was obviously drunk.
"Are you fucking drunk?" I asked, choking the urge to roar in anger.
"No, sill you... I'm still sober." She giggled.
Mariin akong napapikit at napahilot sa sentido ko. The anger built inside of me. I felt it trail up my chest as it clawed its way into my head. "Where the fuck are you? I'm going to pick you up."
"No, I don't want you to. Hindi ba ako pwedeng lumabas with my friends?"
"Valerie, just tell me where the fuck you are!"
"Bakit ba pinakikialaman mo ako? Bakit hindi na lang ang mga babae mo ang intindihin mo. You don't even want me there." Her voice trembled.
"You're fucking drunk. Tell me where the hell you are and don't do anything stupid." Head pounding and breathing deep, I clutched the phone tight.
"Bye, Mr. Lavigne. Have fun with your girls." She laughed.
"Valerie! Val!" Sigaw ko pero ibinaba niya na iyon. Sunod sunod akong napamura. I called that number again and thank God it was Nicole who answered it. Tinanong ko siya kung nasaan sila at agad naman niyang ibinigay ang lugar. They were at their co-worker's house, celebrating his birthday.
I hurridly ran to my car and drove to where Valerie was. I parked my car in front of the house. Nasa labas pa lang ako naririnig ko na ang ingay sa loob. There were music, people singing, laughing. I knocked on the door and a guy, I believe his name was Cooper, opened the door for me. He paused for awhile when he saw me and blinked as if recovering from a trance.
"Mr... Mr. Lavigne." He said, opening the door wider. "Pasok po kayo."
"Salamat." I nodded, stepping in. There sure was alot of people. Pero isa lang ang hinahanap ng mga mata ko.
"Gusto niyo po ng juice, beer?" Alok niya.
"No, thank you." I politely declined. "Gusto ko lang makausap si Valerie."
"Si Valerie! Kanina nakita ko siyang kasama ni Aaron." Sabi ni Cooper.
My hands clenched into fists. So she was with that HR guy.
"Iyon pala sila sir." Cooper said, pointing at them. She was sitting next to the fucking HR guy and lauging with him. "Valerie!" Napatingin si Valerie sa gawi namin ng tawagin siya ni Cooper.
Our eyes met and it narrowed at her. Nawala ang ngiti niya sa mga labi nang lumapit ako sa kanila.
"Having fun?" I sarcastically asked.
She looked up at me with hooded eyes and smiled. "Oh Mr. Lavigne, it's so nice to see you here." She drunkenly giggled.
I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. Nagpumiglas siya at pilit na kumawala.
"Ano ba? Bitawan mo ako!" She said, trying to wrench her arm from my grip.
"We're going home." Matigas na sabi ko.
"But I don't want to." She muttered like a little girl. "Bakit ikaw pwede kang umuwi kahit kailan mo gusto? Bakit ako hindi? It's not fair."
"You're going home with me whether you like it or not." I firmly said through gritted teeth.
"No! Dito lang ako. Pabayaan mo na ako." She stubbornly said.
She left me with no choice but to pick her up and hang her on my shoulder. She shrieked in surprise and everyone's eyes were on us. I didn't fuckin care, to hell with them.
"Axel, ano ba? Bitiwan mo ako! Axeeeel!" She screamed, hitting my back. "Put me down, damn you!"
I carried her out of the party and into the car. I locked the passenger's side where she was sitting at and ran around the driver's side. I slipped into my car and started it.Neither one of us spoke as I drove back home. She just crossed her arms and pouted like the little brat she was.
"Get out of the car." I commanded after opening the passenger's seat.
She threw me a glare with her lips pursed before she leaned back to her seat, refusing to get out of there.
I sighed and did what I had done at the party. Ipinangko ko siya at isinampay ulit sa balikat ko na parang sako ng bigas. Nagpumiglas ulit siya at nagtitili.
"You're a fuckin handful, you know that?" I mumbled as I carried her inside my unit and kicking the door close behind me. But that's a part of her charm. "You are such a bad girl, Val." I sighed, putting her down.
"I'm a bad girl?" She laughed, her arms locked around my neck while her fingers played on my nape.
"You want me to be a good girl right?" She buried her face on my neck. "But you make me want to do bad things. I don't understand you, Axel. I don't understand..." She murmured, her lips against my skin.
"May mali ba sa akin? May kulang ba?" She asked, looking up at me.
I swallowed not knowing what to say. She suddenly pushed me to the couch behind us and stratled her legs around my hips.
"Val..." My breath hitched as I felt a stir inside my pants. Jesus, she was so fuckin drunk. This wasn't right.
"Kaya ko rin naman ibigay sa'yo ang ibinibigay sa'yo ng mga babae mo. Ayaw mo lang kunin." She chuckled as she ran her fingers on my face. And then she ran her thumb on my lips, tracing it. Her chuckled died as she looked at me in the eyes and cupped my face with her hands. "Axel, I love you. I love you so much."
"Come on, I'll take you to bed." Hinawakan ko siya sa magkabilang baywang para ilayo sa akin. But before I could do so, she crashed her lips to mine. She kissed me hungrily and I knew I wasn't going to be able to stop. Nawala na ako sa katinuan ng halikan niya ako. She had no fuckin idea how badly I wanted this.
Naramdaman ko ang mga daliri niyang isa-isang binubuksan ang butones ng shirt ko. I slipped my tongue inside her mouth and she welcomed it hungrily and sucked on it. She pushed my shirt off my shoulders and down my arms after unbuttoning it. Her fingers played on my chest, tracing the lines of it as we kissed. After a few moments, her lips left mine and trailed down my jaw and down to my neck.
"Valerie..." I groaned when she sucked on the sensitive spot on my neck. Bumaba pa ang mga labi niya sa pagitan ng dibdib ko. Down to my stomach until she was leaning in between my open legs. I looked down at her and she stared right into me with a naughty look on her face.
"Hindi mo kailangan ng ibang babae. Nandito naman ako." She said as she unbuttoned my trouser. "I can give you the pleasure you want, you need... and so much more." She bit the hem of my pants, not breaking eye contacts, as she tug it down with her teeth along with my boxers. It was so fuckin hot.
She took my shaft in both her hands and started stroking it. My head fell back on the couch as I melt into a puddle of pleasure. Valerie suddenly stopped and started taking her top and bra off. I was surprised at what she did next. She leaned her body closer to me and placed my shaft in between her breasts and pushed her breasts together to imprison me.
Holy mother of all fucks. "Val, Jesus Christ, Valerie!"
"You like this don't you?" She teasingly asked.
"Shit. Val, baby. Fuck my c ock. Fuck it with your t its." I cried out when she started pumping it up and down. Holy fuck! This was like a scene straight out of a fuckin porn video. I leaned over to her and cupped her face and made it look up at me, I kissed her on the lips with a fury and passion I had never shown to anyone in my life. My hips started thrusting up and down in between her breasts until I couldn't take it any longer. I came and my come shot out and trickled down her beautiful breasts.
After recovering from the frenzy, I pulled her up to me and sat her on my lap. I kissed her on the lips as my hand started stroking her legs, and then she suddenly pulled away from the kiss. Isinubsob niya ang ulo niya sa leeg ko and then she passed out. I kissed her on the forehead.
Binuhat ko siya papunta sa kwarto namin at hiniga sa kami. I cleaned her up and covered her with a blanket. As I looked at her, I realized something. She was clearly braver than I was. She wasn't afraid to say how she feels. She risked the humiliation and everything to find out if what we had was worth pursuing. I wished I was as brave as her.
