CORA'S POV
I felt the warmth of someone laying next to me when I awoke. I'm fairly certain it's Zella. She always goes into my room when she's fatigued from work and forgets that her room is right next to mine. Tsk!
But my head suddenly pounded so hard that I couldn't get out of bed! Without vagueness, I was really inebriated last night. I'm definitely suffering from a hangover.
All of a sudden, Zella embraced me from behind, but as I looked at her arm, I realized she wasn't the person who was laying next to me.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! WHO IS THIS GUY?!
"Oh, my God," I said out as I turned around to have a look at the person beside me. "OH, MY GOD!" I screamed myself to death, but he simply clamped his hand over my lips, while his eyes were still closed. He just opened his eyes in my way after I whacked him on the arm.
His sole word was, "Shuta," which he said with his eyes widening in surprise. "Anong nangyari?" he inquired, almost leaping from the bed. "M-May nangyari ba sa'tin?" he added.
What the hell, I can't recall anything! All I remember is that we were drinking ourselves to death in Sixty's Bar while getting to know each other. After that... after that, I had no clear memory of what had happened!
His gaze strayed to the floor, and sh*t, our clothes, and undergarments were there! SH*T!!!
I slammed my palm against my forehead, furious at my own stupidity.
"WAAAAAAAH!" And, we both yelled at the same time.
I've been in six relationships, but none of my ex-boyfriends have ever touched me! I'm not like today's teenagers, who are overly enamored with their youth to the point that they allow themselves to experience the pleasures of premarital s*x without considering the consequences of their actions.
Hindi ako ganyan...dati! I'm a virgin, but not anymore! Sh*t! I feel like I made no difference from these youths today.
"M-Masakit ba, Missy?" he inquired. I know he's pertaining for my something down there because that's where his eyes landed. Damn!
I had a peek at it as well and realized that all I did was cover it with a pillow since he has the comforter, wrapping himself.
God!
And I just realized as well that I'm just using both hands to hide my boobies! ARGH!!!
"W-Would you mind giving me the comforter—"
When I observed him trying to disguise his amusement while narrowly eyeing me, I came to a halt and scowled at him angrily!
"Missy, wala na tayong dapat pang itago nakita ko na 'yan kagabi," natatawang aniya!
"DAMN YOU!"
I'm quite disappointed and upset right now. I'm disappointed in myself for allowing things to get to this, and I'm upset because how could he make such a sh*tty remark in this freaking serious situation?
"This is not mine!" I screamed in wrath when he handed me his dress.
"Ay, sorry, ito pala damit mo, suotin mo muna." I receive my dress from him as quickly as I can and put it on right away.
Oh, my goodness! When I move a little, my precious thing down there hurts so much!
Sh*t!!!
I sat on the bed, my back against the headboard, trying to recall what had happened the night before.
"Anong naaalala mo?" With knitted brows, I asked.
He sat motionless at the edge of the bed, rubbing his chin and staring at me intently as if trying to recall something. But I am very certain that we did it, that we had s*xual intercourse! I noticed red stains on the bedsheet.
"Shuta, oo, naaalala ko na! Tinanong kita kung 'V' ka pa ba and you said yes! Wow, Missy, ako naka-una?" With a shocked expression on his face, he inquired.
Please excuse me, but I'd like to continue cursing. Sh*t!!! Damn it!!!
"Pervert!" I yelled at him.
"Oy, kung umiral 'yong kamanyakan ko kagabi, baka mas wild pa nangyari sa atin." He's beaming from ear to ear now!
I grab one of my pillows and my arm snaked out in a big arc as I struck him with full force. "YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!" I became enraged and yelled at him once more.
"Aray! Konti nga lang ang naaalala ko, Bakla ka, mga sweet moans mo, ganern!"
I hit him in the face this time with the same force! This gay is a damn pervert!
"You were aware when we were doing it last night, am I right? You raped me!"
"Hoy, 'wag ka nga! Hindi babae ang nirerape ko, bakla ako, Missy, baka nakakalimutan mo. In fact, ikaw 'yong unang babaeng nakachug-chugan ko."
Ugh!!! Damn that chug-chug!
"Would that make me proud?" I inquired, my tone tinged with sarcasm.
He was put in a state of quiet as a result of it. For a little moment, he stares straight into my eyes. "I'm sorry," he directly expressed real regret.
The ambiance seemed to be transforming the awkward circumstance into a dramatic scene.
He bowed politely with a sigh from his soul, and in his most dignified and genuine voice, he continued, "Corazon, hindi ko talaga alam na gano'n na'yong nangyari. If I was aware, kaya ko namang kontrolin ang sarili ko. Sorry ulit."
I let out a heavy sigh. "It was a mistake we both committed." I tried to smile, but I'm not sure what my expression conveyed. "Naniniwala pa naman ako sa s*x after marriage, but what else can we do? We will never be able to reverse what occurred last night. We have no choice except to accept it and then forget about it," I stated firmly. My eyes were welling up with tears, but I kept my voice steady.
"Pero, may nawala sa'yo." When our gazes connected, he had a strong sense of guilt in his eyes.
Yes, he is absolutely correct; I have lost something extremely significant. My virginity is taken away from me! The most valuable gift I could ever give to my future husband vanished in an instant!
My gaze strayed away from him. "But still, no one should be blamed, hindi naman natin alam na mangyayari pala 'yon," I said in a low voice that was almost a whisper.
Suddenly, the room was deafeningly quiet, to the point where I could hear his deep breaths.
I let out a long, heavy sigh.
I never anticipated that at the age of 24, a gay would be the one to devirginize me! I'm planning to get married when I'm 27 or 28, and I've been envisioned that I'll have to give up my sacred virginity at the same time, but only to my husband!
Pero, ano ang nangyari ngayon? Isinuko ko ang mahiwagang perlas sa isang sirena! I've thought unexpected things are the best, pero hindi pala.
"Corazon, I'm sorry, sorry talaga," muli niyang sabi at bahagya akong ngumiti.
"I understand that we're already of legal age at alam na natin 'yong mga ginagawa natin, but please, keep this a secret, okay?" I made sure.
"Confidential naman talaga 'to, Missy, don't worry, atin-atin lang 'to." With what he said, I smiled once again.
"Do you want to take a shower before you leave? You can freely use the bathroom," I said.
He simply nods and picks up his clothing, which was strewn across the floor. "Thank you," he said, wholeheartedly. He then stood up—naked!!!
"Tumakbo ka nga, Bakla!" sigaw ko at natatawa naman siyang tumakbo papuntang bathroom. My God this gay!
Tumayo na rin ako kahit masakit talaga roon, eh. Gaano ba kalaki iyong sa kanya?!
Damn, forget it, Cora!
Tinanggal ko na lang iyong yellow-colored kong bedsheet na may bloodstain. Haaay!
I jerked my head in disbelief. What we did last night is still a mystery to me!
Oh, gosh! How can I be able to stop thinking about this sh*t?!
