Eris

"Mark ikaw pala yan." Nakangiti lang siya sa akin at tumabi sa kinauupuan ko.

It was Mark who put a coat on my shoulder.

"Long time no see my lady." Aniya.

"I've been so busy in these days, to my upcoming runway project."

"Yeah, minsan labas naman tayo if you have some time." Mapait lang siyang napangiti. It's been 3 weeks since hindi kami nagkikita because this project is very demanding, I need to be very hands on to it and to make sure that everything is running good.

I admit I am missing him but not that I am longing for him because I love him. Masaya kasi siyang kasama, I didn't never got bored when I'm with him. He's just my friend, though he wants to be more than that, ako lang yung ayaw. I am not ready for any relationships, hindi pa ako handa, and I dont feel anything for him, just a friend.

"Yes, sure." Ngumiti lang ako sa kanya pagkatapos.

"Thanks my lady." Ngiting ngiti pa siya at hinawakan yung kamay ko. Agad ko naman iyong binawi sa kanya.

Hindi pa rin ako kumportable na tawaging niyang my lady, because first of all am not his. It seems that he is fond of calling me that way. Still I am trying my best na huwag nang pansinin ang mga bagay na iyon because Mark Ejercito is a good man.

Ngumiti na lamang ako sa kanya.

"What brings you here Eris?" He said after a minute of silence, siya rin kasi yung tipo na hindi niya hahayaan na matahimik lang kayo. He will always bring up some topics at tila hindi siya nauubusan.

"May photoshoot lang kami dito ikaw."

"I've just have a client to talk here. I was going back to Manila when I saw you right there." Tumango-tango lamang ako sa kanya.

"Would you mind if I join." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko dahil sa sinabi niya. Hindi niya kasi talaga ako sinasamahan sa mga ganito saka hindi kasi niya kasundo si Taylor at Michael. He's very kind dahil hindi niya pinapatulan yung dalawa, mukhang hindi siya napipikon sa dalawang iyon.

"Is that ok to you? Baka mainip ka."

"It's ok, as long as I'm with you."

Tumango-tango na lamang ako.

"Ok." Tugon ko. Mabuti na rin na kasama ko siya, para naman kahit papaano ay may kausap naman ako, It seems na baka may baong kwento na naman si Mark. Saka mabuti na iyon, para may pagtuunan naman ako ng pansin, because was really bothered by Nikko's stares and I dont even know if he is really staring at me.

Thinking weird again Erisha!

..............

Tanging irap lang ang isinalubong ng dalawa sa kanya. Tila hindi lamang iyon pinansin ni Mark.

"Uhhh Erisha may kasama ka pala." Tila naiirita ang boses ni Micha, habang si Taylor naman ay tinaasan lang siya ng kilay.

"Oh Hi Micha." Napangiwi lang si Michael.

"And hello to you beautiful Taylor." Inilahad pa ni Mark yung kamay niya kay Taylor, pero napangiwi lang din siya.

"Shut the crap out." Ani ni Taylor at inilihis lang niya ang kamay ni Mark.

"Alis muna kami Eris, naasiwa kasi kami e." Ipinagdiinan pa ni Michael ang naasiwa. Tila nagmamadali pa silang umalis.

Ako naman parang gustong lumubog sa lupa dahil sa inasal ng dalawa. Ako ang nahihiya sa pinagagagawa nila kay Mark. He's been a good friend and yet I just let him being humiliated by the two.

"Pasensyahan mo na sila ha."

"It's ok my lady." Mapait lang ako napangiti at napayuko, hiyang-hiya talaga ako sa kaniya. I will really force the two to apologize to him. Kahit na ayaw nila kay Mark, hindi tama na gawin nila iyon sa kanya.

Hinawakan niya yung baba para inaangat yung mukha ko mula sa pagkakayuko.

"It's fine my lady ok? I dont mind it."

"Pero kasi---" I was not able to finished what I am saying when he kiss my temple.

"Ehem!" Pero kaming napatingin sa pinanggalingan ng boses.

It was Nikko, he was standing right infront of us.

"Kanina ka pa nila hinahanap doon, and you just having fun with someone." Napatingin siya kay Mark at tinignan ito mula ulo hanggang paa, saka napailing. Muli ay ibinalik niya ang tingin sa akin.

"Oh please Miss Magdayo don't waste our time come on." Akmang hihilahin ako ni Nikko pero pinigilan siya ni Mark.

"Dont you dare." Pagpigil ni Mark kay Nikko.

"So am I" Ani ni Nikko at nakipagsukatan ng tingin kay Mark.

"Will you please just stop! Huwag niyong balakin na mag-eskandalo dito." I shouted at them at umalis patungo sa photoshoot. Mark just followed me."

.............................

Finally I was able to finish this, nag-usap lang kami ni Mark and also I apologized on what happened na nasigawan ko siya. As usual he said that it is ok with him.

Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang matapos na yung photoshoot. Finally! Though I am having a good company with Mark. Nikko still bothers me, ang talim na niyang tumitig sa amin. Parang gusto niya kaming tunawin na dalawa.

.........................

"Michael for how many times I am saying to you! Kapag pupunta ka dito magpasabi ka, huwag kang nambibigla." Sabi ko at tuluyan na humarap sa kanya.

Muntik ko na mabitawan ang hawak kong plato dahil sa pagkabigla. Hindi si Michael ang nasa harap ko.

Si Nikko.

Paano siya nakapasok dito? This door is locked at tanging si Taylor at Michael lang ang may susi dito.

"Paano ka nakapasok dito?"

"That's not important Miss Magdayo." I can't help to look at him. He is wearing a black suit at medyo magulo pa rin yung buhok niya and he has her glasses back. Bakit ang hot niya lagi sa paningin ko.

Napailing ako sa naisip. What the heck that I am thinking.

"My lady eh?" Aniya habang papalapit siya sa akin. Napasinghap na lang ako. Those eyes were piercing to my soul. Ang talim niyang tumitig sa akin, para na naman akong natutunaw.

I feel na may mangyayari ngayon na hindi dapat. Gusto ko man umiwas ng tingin sa kanya, pero nakalapit naman na siya sa akin.

"What do you want Ni-- Mr. Sarmiento." Pinipilit kong huminahon kahit na ramdam ko ang malamig na pinto ng refrigerator.

"What the heck does that asshole calling you my lady? Are you his?" Mas tumalim pa yung titig niya sa akin at tila may galit na kasama ang mga titig na iyon.

Kumakabog na ang dibdib ko, kahit na umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya. It still really bother me, having the thought na ganoon siya tumitig sa akin. It really shivers me. Gusto ko man umiwas but It seems that I am helpless right now.

"Nicholas." I said when he cornered me between his arms.

"Yes I like that when you are saying my name." Aniya at nilapit pa niya lalo ang mukha niya sa akin, and now I can see him close and I can even feel his breath, and I can smell alcohol in it. Is he drunk?

"No one can own you Eris." I was shocked when he kissed me.

Again I can feel the electricity that shivers all over my system. I feel weak right now and then he pulled me closer when his kisses become more passionate.

He's a married man I should not do this with him. But what the heck that I can't move. Why is it I'm just letting him to do this to me.

"Kiss me back Eris, I know you want this." He whispered then he looked at me like I am his precious. He touched my face, down to my neck, till to my shoulder. I am just wearing a tank top so he can barely touch it and it shivers when he touch me there.

Oh gosh how much I miss his touch, his kisses. It's been years and I am longing for him for too long.

He look at me again but there is no anger anymore. Lust. Only lust that I can see in his eyes, then he kissed me again.

It seems that I am drugged by him because I am responding. It's been years since the last time he kisses me like that.

"I want you so bad Eris. I missed you." A smile escaped to my lips, is this really happening, I am between his arms and he even said my first name.

I gasped when he put down the straps down. Then he look at me again.

"Do you want me to continue?" He said huskily.

"Yes please."

"How I love that you beg now." Then he hungrily kiss me. I feel that he lifts me up and put me on the table without breaking the kiss. I wrap my legs to his I don't want him to go away. I want him.

"I really want you Eris. I cant stop."He whispered to my ear, then I noticed that I am half naked infront of him.

There's a grin formed to his lips.

Whatever happens I just dont care. I still want him. I really do. He must not really stop.

Again I put my lips in to his.

He also dont know how I want him so bad. I can't believe that after all these years this is happening again. I don't care if he is married as long as I have him now.

"OMG! Go get a room please!"
