The Truth About Her ~ JENLISA (HIATUS)

5: A Roof To Stay

JENNIE

Tanghali na ng magising ako dahil sa pagkauhaw then I realized na mag-isa nalang ako sa kwarto, my side was empty but the evidence of what happened last night was still visible.

Umupo ako hawak ang ulo sa sobrang sakit. Damn hangover. Lumingon ako sa paligid ko naghahanap ng kahit na anong traces ni Lalisa sa buong kwarto pero wala. Ang dami na agad pumasok sa isip ko. First, what happened last night is a thing that should not have occured if not for my stupid hormones and liquid courage. How wild did we go last night? I can't remember the rest after the first round but I can tell that somehow I suffer the consequence in between my legs now though it's bearable. God, I never imagined that I gave in to her. I gave in to a person na habit na ata mawala na parang bula. Ano yun? Ganun nalang? Fuck and go?

Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko habang mas kinakalaban pa ang isip ko, even though I hate to admit it, I couldn't deny that I enjoyed what happened. Ughhh... But that was my first. Nasaan na ang self-preservation ko? Hindi man lang ako nagobject kahit na yun ang dapat kong gawin.

Kasi nga ginusto mo rin.

I had a one night stand to a stranger. Thinking about it makes me want to slap my face over and over again. This is not me. Nasaan na yung Jennie na in control. Yung nag-iisip at hindi nagpapadala basta basta?

Kasi nga ginusto mo rin.

Accepting that I can't undo whatever I've done I stood away from my bed pulling my comforter as my cover since I'm still naked underneath it. I still have to fix myself dahil kailangan ko pang pumasok and it's not my habit to be late unless the reason is really important. Suddenly, something caught my attention when I came across the mirror. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nung tignan ko yun ng mabuti.

Shit.

Are these hickeys?

Fuck you Lalisa.

Touching the part of my neck where the marks settled on, not that I'm not aware that I'll have these the next day, pero as far as I can remember isa lang yun, at hindi tatlo. How will I hide these marks sa sobrang pula. Hindi ko naman pwedeng ibalandra 'to sa opisina. I opened my first drawer just below the mirror searching for something that might help me cover up the evidence of my carnal exploration last night.

Unexpectedly, mouth watering smell of fried rice passed my nose making my stomach growl reminding me that I only consumed high volume of alcohol for dinner and my mouth aims for hydration when I woke up.

Wait, mag-isa lang ako dito? Sinong nagluluto?

I grab my satin robe to have a more decent cover then run immediately downstairs to check but stop half way to have a peek to who ever it is in my kitchen. Then I saw a female figure in a white bathrobe, her back facing me so she probably didn't notice that I'm here.

Lalisa.

I decided to walk closer to her silently like a predator eyeing for his prey. She was too occupied from what she's doing that she never notice me sitting to the exact stool where we kiss, wrong scratch that, from the exact stool where we almost made out, there it sounds more correct. Then I look at my dining table where  hotdog, bacon and adobo is catered.
The enticing aroma of whatever she is cooking now filled my senses which made my stomach growl even more and as if on cue she turned around now facing my direction.

"Oh my God!" holding the pan on her right, her left hand rested on her chest as if she just had seen a ghost.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
