Chapter 11: Dinner

Mabilis kaming naglakad ni Antonius palabas ng conference room. Our security guarded us until we arrived at the top floor of his penthouse. His security checked the whole floor before leaving us.

Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ng buong buo ang labis na kaba at hindi ko alam... inis?

"Why did you do that?!"

He sighed. Like he's just so patient the whole time. He clenched his jaw, like trying to control whatever emotion he has.

"I told you not to meddle with my mess, Antonius! At anong sinasabi mong girlfriend? Kaylan pa naging tayo?!"

"Please calm down, hindi tayo makakapag usap ng maayos kung galit ka."

"Alam mo ba anong pinasok mo?!" I spat angrily!

"Of course I do, baby please... I'm just—"

"Helping me? By announcing we are together? Are you nuts or what? Anton, I am not for you!"

"You can't say that! I choose who I want to. Wala akong pakialam—"

"You lied to them!"

"I didn't! You are my girlfriend! We started out on my island. You said yes to me!"

"I only said that because we were together. Pero hindi ko naman akalain na seseryosohin mo?!"

What is this... what is this?!

He's supposed to be out somewhere not minding my own business because what happened between us were pure lust. Why is he being like this?

Yes! I liked him! I even hoped for him! Pero hindi ako para sa kaniya. I will just drag his name to the mud! I am not the right woman for him. Heck! I don't even know if I'm fit to anybody!

"I fell in love with you, Adi. I told you many times how I felt about you. How you were so different from other girls. I have always wonder what would it be if you're with me. I found that out in the island and I fucking loved it! Gusto kong makasama ka pa. Gusto kong.... makilala ka pa. Gusto kong mahalin ka pa ng lubos!"

Natigilan ako. My jaw almost dropped. I blinked fast thinking if I heard those words right.

This is... crazy and unbelievable.

"You are so hung up from our sex that you're saying that,"

"I had sex Adi, but never did I once felt so happy doing it with you."

"Antonius, I am a fucking gangster. Are you hearing that?"

He chuckled, "I know, and I'm also aware of your badass reputation but who cares about that? It is you who I fucking want!"

I sat on the couch. My heart is beating so fucking loud. Is this gonna be a fucking love life for me?!

I had many boyfriends but damn those boys, this man in front of me is on a different level. Am I dreaming?

"Dudungisan ko lang ang pangalan mo, Anton. You are a successful businessman. Do you really think gusto ng mga partners mong ma associate ka sa kagaya ko? Even when I am a heiress of the Cojuangco, that won't change the fact that I am a gangster."

And so after an hour, kumalat na sa buong bansa ang nangyari sa conference room. The Uytingku's are so mad while in an interview. They felt attacked and shamed. Hindi rin nakatago sa akin ang pahayag nilang disappointed sila sa pamilya ko at sa mga Zobel.

My parents are already calling me pero wala akong sinagot ni isa sa tawag nila. Wala pa rin pahayag ang chairman ng Zobel sa nangyari.

Sigurado na galit ang parents ni Antonius ngayon. While this brute beside me is busy cuddling with me, nagkakagulo naman ngayon sa labas matapos malaman na ang pinaka successful na negosyante sa bansa ay sangkot sa isang gangster.

Tangina! Parang bigla kong kinahiya ang pagiging gangster ko.

For another, I drank a glass of scotch while watching tv while Anton is touching me on my sensitive part. Napapikit ako sa sarap, sa alak at sa ginagawa niya. Damn it!!

"Ali... damn you!"

"Shhh, shut your little mouth baby.."

He continue circling his two finger in between my thighs. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa baso. I gritted my teeth. He felt my eagerness that's why he inserted his two fingers inside to tease me.

"Fuck!" I cursed!

Nagulat ako ng tumayo siya at lumuhod sa harap ko. Putangina!

I am sitting on his couch with my legs spreading so widely in front of his large television.

He dive his mouth on mine and I almost lost all my consciousness. Hindi ko na naiwasan ang umungol ng malakas. He plays his tongue so diligently and professionally.

Sa sobrang sarap at gigil ko, hindi ko na namalayan kung gaano kahigpit ang hawak ko sa baso kaya nabasag ko ito.

"What the—" nabigla si Ali, lalo ng makita ang dugo sa kamay ko mula sa nabasag na baso. Tatayo na sana siya para gamutin ako but I held his nape to stop him.

"Don't fucking stop!" I gritted my teeth.

"But baby you're—"

"Don't fucking mind that little cut. Continue what you're doing."

He smirked, "Damn it! You are so badass. Fine, if my baby said so..."

When he kiss me again on there, I lost it. I lost all my emotions and let it out with a loud moans.

"Ahhh, Ali..."

"My baby wants this so much hmmm..."

Napa sabunot ako sa buhok niya. Mas lalo pa niyang ginalingan doon kaya talagang tumirik ang mata ko. He lifted both my legs for much wider space. I feel bold and naked in his penthouse but who fucking cares when I'm so fucking turn on!

"Ali, please put it on me..."

Ali stood up to remove his suit and pants. Nang ibaba niya ang boxer niya, bumungad sa akin ang parte niyang buhay na buhay.

He positioned himself on me. My legs are still on upward position when he bended his knee to level on me. When he inserted his large member, I scream with my moans.

"Ahhhhh!"

He started hammering me so deeply and fast! Tinanggap ko ang halik niya habang patuloy siya sa kaniyang ginagawa. We're both shouting each other's names because of so much pleasure in every thrust he makes.

Mas lalo pa niyang binilisan kaya halos mabaliw ako sa sarap. We both reach our climax until I felt him poured all out inside me. He convulsed on top of me.

Mariin niya akong hinalikan sa labi. Napapikit ako sa halik. Fuck! Parang gusto ko pa!

"You're not getting away from me, Arden. Remember that!"

"Ali..."

"Say yes before I take you to your fucking round two.."

I look at him pleadingly pero hindi siya nag patinag. Fuck you, Antonius!

"I am yours, Antonius! Now go fuck me again!"

"No, this is love making not fucking." he smirked. Then, hinila niya ako patayo para patalikurin sa kaniya. He position both my knees on the couch and I slammed my body sa sandalan for him to reach my entrance.

Nilagay ko ang dalawang kamay ko sa likod ko. He understood that and held both of my hand like he's arresting me, and started hammering me again.

After our heated afternoon, hinatid ako ni Ali sa aming mansion. I insisted him na huwag ng bumaba pero hindi siya nakinig sa akin. He opened the door for me. Pagbaba ko ng sasakyan niya, nabugaran ko agad si Papa na naka tayo sa tapat ng pinto at hinihintay kami.

Bumuntong hininga ako. Wala na talaga.

"Anton Zobel, my pleasure.." my father greeted the man beside me but it was Anton who offered his hand first.

"No, the pleasure is mine, sir.."

Mariin ang titig ni Papa kay Anton. It's definitely his hawk eye thing whenever he's assessing someone. My father is known ruthless yet the wisest in the business industry. Many are respecting him, even the ones richer than us.

"Come inside, then." bumaling sa akin si Papa, mariin din ang tingin. "You change your clothes." as he survey me from top to bottom.

I gulped. I just had two rough sex. Hindi naman siguro niya nahalata diba? Nakagat ko ang labi ko. Ano bang itsura ko? Damn it! I didn't bother to look at the mirror kanina because never did I once care on how will I look.

Never did I once care to what others would say about me.

Iniwanan ko na silang dalawa at dumiretso na ako sa taas para mag bihis. Nag shower muna ako dahil ang lagkit ng katawan ko bago tuluyan nag damit ng pambahay.

Pagbaba ko, nasa dining table na silang lahat at mukhang ako na lang ang hinihintay. Lalapit na ang katulong para hilahin ang upuan ko ng tumayo si Anton at siya ang gumawa non. Napansin ko agad ang pagmamasid ng magulang ko.

Fuck the awkwardness. Bakit ba ako umaakto na parang nabisto ako sa isang kalokohan? Wala nga akong pakialam kung malaman nila ang kabalastugan ko, pero eto kinakabahan ako? Tangina lang!

The butler served our first course. Nag simula na akong kumain habang nagusap naman sila tungkol sa negosyo. Maybe to stir down the tension by diverting the issue. I'm on my second course ng nag salita na si papa.

"So, what is this? What are the things we are not aware of?"

"Pa—"

"I apologized if it took us in that conference to reveal our relationship, sir, but please believe me when I tell you it wasn't intentional. I don't mean to disrespect you, sir.."

"Are you really together with our daughter?" Mama asked, her voice sounded cold and serious, like she isn't believing all these dramas.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, ma'am. Arden is my girlfriend."

"And you are aware of her activities?" sunod nitong tanong,

"Yes ma'am,"

"All of it?" naningkit ang mata ng aking ina.

The heck?

"Yes," Anton answered firmly.

"Then why choose her? She's not suited for you."

Nagkatinginan kami ni mama. Tumaas ang kilay ko. What does she mean... did she really said that in front of me?!

"I don't believe so, ma'am."

"Hijo, our daughter here is a gangster. Someone who fights in the streets, who sent people to hospitals. She's also got minor criminal charges and lives in that place they called lair."

"Arden has really really bad reputation, hijo. Are you sure you're thinking straight right now or is this a joke? Because I don't believe someone as honorable like you would interest in the likes of her."

Ouch.

I glared at mama. She only raised an eyebrow for me. I look at Papa, asking for him to save my face but instead, he's nodding like a goddamn buddha!

"I am aware of all of that, ma'am. But, I see something in your daughter that caught my attention. That changed my preference and my perception."

"Ma, stop asking him like we're getting married already." hindi ko na napigilan.

Why is everybody asking like this? Para bang siya na ang makakatuluyan ko habang buhay! While this brute doesn't seem to mind, ako, inis na inis na! Isama mo pa na hindi ko gusto ang mga sinasabi ng ina ko!

Wait, kaylan pa ako na conscious? Bwisit! Totoo naman lahat ng sinabi niya.

"I'm serious with my feelings for her. Kung 'yan po ang gusto ninyong marinig."

"How will you handle the media? They will be disappointed with your decision here. What if your investors would decide to make an exit?" Papa asked.

"I would obliged and give them their shares. My company will go on, it will not cost me even a cent. But to be honest sir, I don't think it will happen. I have proven everything in the industry that as simple as this would not affect my clienteles to pull out their shares. After all, my relationship has nothing to do with my business decision-making wise."

Ngumisi ang aking ama, tila proud na proud sa narinig. Hindi ko na naman napigilan umirap.

"Good thinking. I agree with you. A successful strategist like you would not let his relationship affect the life of his business."

Papa sip on his coffee, natigilan saglit at waring may iniisip. Mama continue asking Anton some random questions regarding lang din sa parents niya kaya medyo humupa ang usapan.

Nag request na ako ng desert dahil tapos na akong kumain. I also asked for a glass of scotch. Naalala ko bigla yung sugat sa kamay ko. May band-aid na ito kasi ginamot niya. Napangiti ako.

"The nerve of you to ask for a drink when now, we're in debt, Arden." malamig na tinig ni Papa. Muntik kong mabuga ang alak na ininom ko.

Pinunasan ko ang labi ko at napatingin sa kaniya ng may alanganing ngiti.

"Pa, I'm sorry.."

"Sir, like what I said in the conference, I would pay the amount stated in the contract. I would also seek legal advise against the Uytingku."

"Hijo, I know you're rich but that's 10 billion in dollar. It would make a dent to your account."

Dito na ako natigilan ng husto at napatitig na lang sa lamesa. Hindi talaga biro na halaga 'yon. Kahit pa bayaran ni Anton, o ninoman, hindi ko alam kung makakaya ko ba na lunukin ang malaking utang na loob na ito.

"I'm sure Don Carlos would not approve of this." my father is right. Kahit sino magagalit. How much would that be in Philippine peso? Ayoko ng i-imagine.

"Let me deal with them, sir. But I assure, I will help my girlfriend get away from this mess."
