“Angel Salvador, class Summa Cum Laude.Best in CAPSTONE overall, academic awardee. Department representative… “
I stride my way on the stage of the biggest sentrum of our university as the emcee continues to mention my achievements, walking with every confidence and elegance that I have. Both my parents were smiling like they are the one who achieved those awards. I placed my hand on my chest and bowed before the heads of our university.
Dumiretso ako sa gitnang bahagi ng stage kasunod ang mga magulang at usher na siyang may dala ng aking mga medals habang hawak ko na ang aking diploma. Habang ang mga magulang ay abala sa pagsabit sa akin ng medalya ay isang tao lamang ang hanap ng aking mga mata.
Nang makita ko ang aking hinahanap ay lumaki na ang aking ngiti. Nakita ko naman ang pag ngisi ng taong ito nang makita ang aking reaksyon.
He stood up and shouted “That’s my baby y’all! Dean, that’s my baby!” nag init ang aking mga pisngi dahil sa ginawa nya. Hindi pa alam ng mga magulang ko ang tungkol sa amin! Oh my gosh!
Naghiyawan ang mga batchmates namin at tinawag pa ang atensyon ng aming dean, si Mr. Villareal, the father of the guy who just shouted. I tried to look at the dean’s way, he was smiling like a proud dad.
I went back my gaze at Jaxon, he is smirking proudly na lalong nakapag pasaya sa akin. Matapos kunan ng official photographer ay nag lakad na kami pababa ng stage. I felt my mom leaning on my ear. “You’ve got to tell us about that boy, sweetie.” She was smiling at me, I then looked at my dad. He just stared at me, hinaplos nya lamang ang aking buhok at giniya na sa aking assigned seat.
Ilang saglit pa ay tinawag na rin ang pangalan ni Jaxon. Katulad ko ay marami rin siyang awards, despite his, well, misbehavior hindi talaga maitatanggi na matalino sya. Our general average only differs by .25
The program went on and the speech delivery started, mauunang mag deliver si Jaxon kesa sa akin. His frat mates are cheering for him, I am just proudly clapping my hands for him.
Nang tumahimik na ang lahat ay nagsalita na sya,”Hey fuckers.” This guy!!
Nag tawanan ang lahat dahil doon. “Oh fuck! My baby’s parents are here. I would like to apologize for my language.” napailing ako dahil sa inasal nya, ngunit hindi ko rin mapigilan ang mapangiti. Ang cute nya hahahaha!
“I will not give any inspirational words to you people. Just keep in mind that we have conquered a lot inside this university, we faced difficult obstacles that molded us to who we are now. Let us make our sacrifices and hard work worth it and face the reality beyond college. Seek for the best version of ourselves and find the reason to live and strive. Well you fuckers look for yours, because I have already found mine. Angel Salvador.” nag hiyawan ang lahat nang banggitin nya ang aking pangalan.
“You fucked my life, take responsibility of it baby.” and with that he left the podium and went back to his seat. Damn that guy! You fucked my life too!
The graduation program ended and we took pictures with families and friends. “Sweetie, we’ll just wait for you outside. Take your time with your friends.” my mom said and I was about to respond when a familiar scent caught my attention and a hand touched my back.
“Baby…” I felt him leaned into my head and placed a soft kiss on top of it. “Congratulations, baby.” He whispered in my ear.
“Thank you…” sagot ko sa kanya at binati sya pabalik, mataman nya akong tinignan at sinasagot ko naman ito ng tigtig. Na putol lamang ang aming tinginan nang makarinig kami ng tikhim.
“Dad, mom. This is Jaxon Villareal, my significant other.” we do not have a label. Inangkin ko lang sya. Jaxon offered his hand to my parents that they gladly took. My parents and him exchanged some dialogue before they finally left the two of us alone.
“Later? I’ll pick you up.” fuck this man. Tumango ako nagawi ang aking tingin sa kanyang mapupulang labi. I went my gaze back to his eyes before I planted a soft kiss on his lips.
I smiled at him and grabbed his cheeks, slightly squishing it. “See you later, babe.” and with that I left him there. I can still hear him calling my name but I was too far away already. I just looked at his way and bid my goodbye.
I celebrated with my friends and family at home then after some time nagpaalam na ako at umuwi sa condo upang mag ayos para sa lakad namin ni Jaxon. I put on light makeup emphasizing my eyes by drawing a liner on and my lip by painting it red. I wore a simple retro sleeveless black dress that reached 4 inch below my knees, pearls on its thin straps. I put my hair in a low bun, letting some of its strands off, pearl necklace and earrings, and a stiletto on my feet. I sprayed my favorite perfume to finalize my look.
I hurriedly went to the door as I heard the bell ringing excitedly to open it. Muntik ko pa maiwan ang purse ko sa pagmamadali.
“Hi, Jax.” bati ko sa kanya, hindi pinahahalata na labis akong masaya na makita sya.
He grabbed my lower back and pulled me closer, placing a kiss on my lips. “You look great, baby. Damn! Let us not attend the grad party.” mataman nya akong tinitigan sa mata saka muling sinunggaban ang aking mga labi. Napa ngiti naman ako sa inasal nya.
“Hindi pwede, hahanapin tayo ng frat mates mo.” I grabbed his cheeks carressing it.
“The fuck I care, I want my baby.”
“You can always have me anytime you want, Jaxon. But we have to attend the event first, then you can finally do whatever you want.”
“Fuck! Fine, let’s go.” hinila na nya ako papunta sa elevator. We were just kissing inside the elevator until maka baba sa parking space.
We immediately climbed up on his ride and went to the venue.
“I like your lipstick baby, smudge proof. I’ll buy you lots of that.” na tawa naman ako dahil sa sinabi nya.
Pumasok na kami sa event place. The typical party atmosphere welcomed us, we were greeted by his frat mates and others who were invited to the party. We then went to their group’s usual couch, it was Gerard and his people and Mia and other girls.
I am learning to be familiar with Mia’s presence despite our heated conversation before. Afterall, na una naman siyang maging kaibigan ni Jaxon. I no longer give a fuck to whatever happens in the past. I am holding the present in my palms. I don’t want to spoil it.
We were offered a drink and we gladly accepted it. Magkatabi kami ng upo ni jaxon, ang isang kamay ay may hawak ng beer habang ang isa naman ay naka akbay sa akin at hinahaplos ang aking lantad na balikat. Nagkukwentuhan lamang silang magkakaibigan at paminsan-minsan ay sumasagot ako, nagkayayaan silang magsayaw at hinila na ako ng ibang girls. Tumingin pa ako kay Jaxon pero tumango lamang sya. Hindi pa man kami nakakalayo ay tinawag na ako ni Jaxon, humarap lamang ako sa direksyon nya. Sya naman ay tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo at lumapit sa akin, he grabbed my naped and kissed my forehead.
“Enjoy baby, you deserve it.” ngumiti at tumango ako sa kanya, ayaw nya pa sana ako bitawan ngunit inaasar na kami ng lahat.
Nang makarating sa dance floor ay nag umpisa na kaming magsayawan, we were enjoying the party. Dancing and drinking ourselves out celebrating our victories until mapagod na ako.
“Angel, wag ka magpaka pagod para may activity pa kayo ni Jaxon.” at nag tawanan kami sa asar sa akin ng isa sa aming mga kasama.
“We’ll also get it kapag bigla na lang kayo nawala, alam na.” napapa iling na lamang ako sa mga asar nila.
“Really girl? Look oh ikaw yung may chikinini na kakasipsip sayo ni Gerard.” lalo kaming nagtawanan dahil doon. Napagawi ang aking tingin sa couch, nakita ko si Jaxon na tinitignan ang aking direksyon, napa iling ako dahil dito. Pinaalis tapos bantay naman…
“Wait guys, I have to go back to the couch I’ll just check on something…” paalam ko.
“Awww… we know you will not come back.” maktol ng isa pero tinawanan ko lang sya at pumunta na kay Jaxon.
Nakaupo pa rin sya sa couch at umiinom ng alak patuloy na nakikipag usap ngunit nasa akin ang tingin. Nang malapit na ako ay iniumang niya ang isang braso, welcoming me. Lumapit naman ako bago nya ako hinapit payakap. Nananatili siyang nakaupo habang ako ay nakatayo, pinaglandas ko naman ang aking kamay sa kanyang balikat ang isa ay naka hawak sa kamay nyang nakapalibot sa aking bewang.
Patuloy pa rin siyang nakikipag usap pero hindi naman bumibitiw sa akin, ilang sandali pa ay pinaupo nya ako sa kanyang kandungan. Lumingkis na sya sa akin at sinamyo ang aking amoy, kaya naman na iinspire ako lagi mag body care eh.
“My baby smells so good, fuck!” bulong nya sa akin bago lalong nag sumiksik sa aking leeg bago bumaba sa aking kilikili at iyon naman ang inamoy. He then went on sa pakikipag usap, inabutan pa ako ng alak na agad ko naman tinanggap. We stayed like that for a while but he is clingy as always, he is planting soft kisses on my shoulders and I am getting turned on with his kisses and touches.
I leaned into his ear then whispered with my low voice, “Babe…”
He turned his head to my direction,”Yes, baby?” I did not say anything but just smiled at him as a response. He shook his head and claimed my lips with his, agad ko naman itong sinagot.
Hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa pagitan ng aming halik nang pisilin nya ang aking tagiliran na may fat roll.
“We’ve got to go.” anunsyo ni Jaxon saka kami tumayo at lumabas ng bar. Hinihila nya ang aking kamay habang ako ay naka sunod lang sa kanya.
Sumakay kami sa kanyang sasakyan at nag umpisa na siyang mag maneho, his penthouse is just 5 minutes away from here so I guess that’s where we are going.
“Damn baby!” dama ko ang pananabik sa kanyang boses, ikinatuwa ko naman ito.
I removed my seatbelt and placed a kiss on the side of his lips, I then traveled until his lips and ravish it with my kisses. I touched the thing between his thighs and slightly squeezed it. I missed his member.
“Drive safely…” paalala ko bago siya bitawan at bumalik sa pagkaka upo.
“Yes I will, I’m still gonna fuck you.” I don’t know how fast we get, I just found myself inside the elevator being kissed torridly by this man.
“Hmm… I missed your kisses.” I told him in between our kisses, he is holding the sides of my face pulling me closer to him, he likes biting my lips as we kiss.
“Fu…
