C2 Naked

"What should I do? What should I do?" Pabalik balik ang lakad ni Sheen sa sala habang sumisilip sa kwarto niya. Her heart is racing as if wanting to come out. She starts biting her thumbnail. She managed to bring his body inside of her bedroom, it took her one and half hour.

She walks back and forth trying to calm herself.

The scene kept running on her mind. His wounds, the knife, his naked body, and his red eyes suddenly turned grey. She doesn't know what to do, she just wants ice cream.

"Arghh!" Napatalon siya sa gulat ng marinig ang lalaki sa loob ng kwarto. She stared at the door for a second before approaching it. Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang pinto.

The first thing she noticed was his pants on the floor. She wanders her eyes around, looking for the man.

"F*ck!" Napalingon siya sa CR ng kwarto niya. It's slightly open. "F*ck!" She heard another cuss.

Lumapit siya sa pinto ng CR. She peak inside and the first thing she saw is his butt, his big round butt. Namula ang mukha niya sa hiya. Bakit ba wala siyang suot na brief? Tumalikod siya at pinaypayan ang sarili gamit ang kamay.

"Can you help me?" Paos ang boses ng lalaki. She turn around and keep her eyes up. Don't look down. Isip-isip niya.

Binuksan niya ang pinto ng CR at lumapit sa lalaki. She keep a small distance between them. Bilog na bilog ang mata niya habang nakatingin sa taas.

"Can you clean my wounds? I can't move my arms, I think I broke my bones." She looks at him.

"Huh? E bakit hindi pa tayo pumunta sa hospital kung bal—"

He cut her words. "I hate hospitals." Napatango siya. Imbes na makipag argumento sa lalaki ay nakinig na lang siya.

Nahihiya siyang nag iwas ng tingin. "U-uhm, pwede ba m-mag short? I mean no offense ang tambok ng pwet mo— I mean I'm not comfortable."

Hindi sumagot ang lalaki kaya nilingon niya ito. He's looking at her, he's looking at her deeply like he's reading her mind. She can't help but stare at his eyes, it's beautiful, with no emotions but she can see it—he's trying to hide something behind those beautiful eyes.

"Why?" Mahinang tanong ng lalaki.

Napakurap siya. "H-huh?"

"Is my body not build good? Are my muscles not enough to be shown? Is my d*ck not big enough?" Sa sinabi ng lalaking 'yun ay napatingin siya sa baba na dapat hindi niya ginawa. She'd seen p*rn before but not an actual d*ck! She never seen a huge d*ck! Pototoy oo pero itong kaharap niya ngayon na parang tinuturo pa siya—hindi!

Her mind went blank and all she can see is the thing between his legs and all went black.

Napabalikwas ng bangon si Sheen habang hawak ang dibdib. Her dream. Para siyang kakapusin sa hangin sa sobrang bilis ng kabog ng dibdib niya. Parang totoo 'yung panaginip niya, she can still describe the 'thing'.

Napayakap siya sa sarili niya ng bumalik sa isip niya 'yung itsura nun— napa angat siya ng tingin sa pinto ng kwarto ng marinig ang kalabog sa labas. Kumunot ang noo niya at umalis sa kama.

Lumabas siya sa kwarto at agad nanuot sa ilong niya ang mabangong amoy ng pagkain. Her foot drag her to the kitchen where she found a half naked man cooking.

"Sino ka?! Anong ginagawa mo dito?!" Agad siyang naalarma at kinuha ang tsinelas niya. She's ready to throw the slippers when the man turn around and face her. Nanlaki ang mata niya ng makita ang mukha nito. It's the same man on her dream! Nangilabot siya sa isipin na totoo ang panaginip niya. Her eyes wandered on his body, her eyes drop on his thigh.

"You passed out last night, never thought you're afraid of big di—"

"Stop!" Pigil niya sa lalaki dahil ayaw na niyang isipin 'yun. Inisip niya ang suot na short ngayon ng lalaki. It's her short shorts. Hapit ito sa legs ng lalaki at nakabukol ngayon ang nasa harap nito. Napalunok si Sheen at nag taas ng tingin. Baka mahimatay nanaman siya.

"B-bakit nandito ka pa?" Pag iiba niya sa usapan.

"I can't leave you here alone." Makahulugang sagot nito. Nag salubong ang kilay niya.

"Why? Sanay naman ako mag-isa, and if you're afraid I might tell someone that I saw 'that' no need to worry I don't kiss and tell."

Ngumisi ang lalaki sa kaniya. "I'm not afraid. I would be proud, but that's not it please don't ask so many question and eat." Napatingin siya sa likod ng lalaki. Doon nanggagaling ang naaamoy niyang pagkain.

"Sino may sabi sayong makialam ka sa kusina ko?" Tinaasan niya ng kilay ang lalaki. Wait—hindi pa niya alam ang pangalan nito pero kung makialam sa bahay niya feeling close. "Anong pangalan mo pogi?" Dagdag niyang tanong.

"Akhil, sit down I'll serve you in exchange for showing my huge and proud di—"

"Shh! 'Wag mo na ipaalala pwede? I'm having a heart attack!" Aniya at nag mamartsa lumapit sa lamesa at naupo sa harap nito.

Nadako ang mata niya sa katawan nito, naalala niya ang sugat ng lalaki kagabi. Hinanap niya ang tatlong hiwa sa dibdib nito pero wala. Her curiosity got her up, lumapit siya kay Akhil na abala sa pag lalagay ng gamit sa lamesa. He notice her making him stop from what he's doing.

"What?"

Lumapit si Sheen kay Akhil, hinawakan ito sa balikat at hinarap sa kaniya. "What? Do you want to see my d—"

He didn't finish his words. "Your wounds? Where are they?" It makes Akhil speechless for a second.

"What wounds?" Pag tatanong ni Akhil. Tumaas ang tingin ni Sheen sa lalaki. Her eyes met his. His beautiful eyes, it's like covering something. His eyes are emotionless that she can't read what he's thinking, there's nothing in there.

Hindi napansin ni Sheen ang pag taas ng kamay niya at paag dapo nito sa makinis na pisnge ni Akhil. Akhil was taken aback by her sudden movement but it didn't bother her. She's drowned to his eyes. Ang ganda.

She move her thumb to touch his eyelids but was interrupted by a banging sound on the door. Nabalik siya sa sarili at napalayo kay Akhil.

"Sorry," nahihiya siyang tumalikod dito at lumapit sa pinto. She open the door, enough to see who's outside. "Sino po sila?" There's a three people outside.

Unang tingin pa lang niya ay mukhang hindi na maganda ang gagawin ng mga tao. They are wearing a black outfit, she saw the bad guys on movies so she can tell if these people are one of them.

The woman in front smile ate her. She didn't buy it, fake smile. "We're looking for a man, he's 6 foot tall, brown hair, grey eyes, his name is Akhil. Maybe he got in here?" Boses pa lang ng babae ay halatang palaban na, maarte at maririnig ang pagka disgusto sa kaniya. Hindi din niya gusto ito.

She flashes her sweetest smile. "Nope, I don't know someone named Akhil with brown hair and grey eyes."

She saw the girl rolled her eyes. Gusto din sana niyang umirap kaso natatakot siya sa dalawang lalaki na kasama nito, malalaki kasi ang katawan at halatang wala siyang laban sa mga ito.

"Okay. Thank you." 'Yun lang at tumalikod na ang mga 'to. She wait until they enter the black van parked not so far from her house. Huminga siya ng malalim at sinara ang pinto, she even locked ito.

Nilingon niya si Akhil. He's still standing there, not moving but he's staring at her. Binigyan niya ito ng maliit na ngiti bago lumapit sa lamesa. She wants to ask him who are those people and what they want from him but she chooses to stay silent. If he's in trouble then she might be too—because she let him in on her house and she is responsible for that.

Akhil started putting the food on her plate. Fried chicken, ham, and egg. He put a bowl beside her plate, may nakalagay na sinigang doon. Ito 'yung naaamoy niya kanina. She watches him serve her food.

Lumapit si Akhil sa ref at may kinuha doon. Her brows arch. Isang box 'yon ng strawberry ice cream. Natakam siya sa nakita, favorite niya ang strawberry.

"Eat your breakfast first." Kukuhain sana niya ang ice cream na nilapag ni Akhil sa lamesa ng hilahin naman nito palayo sa kaniya.

Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin. He pointed her food. "Eat." Sumunod naman siya sa sinabi nito.

"Bakit hindi ka nakain?" Napansin ni Sheen na wala itong pagkain sa harap.

"I'm done," sagot nito. "What's your name?"

Inubos ni Sheen ang laman ng bibig at sumagot. "Sheen Adreline, call me Sheen."

"Adreline." Sinamaan niya ng tinin si Akhil.

"It's Sheen." Pag tatama niya.

"Adeline is okay. I'm the one calling your name so don't argue, finish your food."

She did what he said. Tinapos niya ang pagkain at mabilis kinuha ang ice cream, baka ilayo ulit ni Akhil e. Magana niyang nilantakan ang ice cream habang si Akhil ay nililigpit ang kinainan niya. She didn't bother stopping him, he's the one who barged on her kitchen.

She remember something. "Akhil, about your wounds. I remember you're cleaning them last night, paano nawala na lang bigla?" Nag tataka siya kung bakit bigla itong nag laho na parang bula, no traces or even a scratch. he's even asking for her help—napatayo siya at binaba ang ice cream. Lumapit siya kay Akhil at kinurot ang braso.

"Ouch! What's that for?" Napanguso siya. Naalala niya nung sinabi nitong nabali ata ang buto nito.

"You're unbelievable. Hindi naman siguro ako nananaginip, everything is clear." Napapa isip siya. She saw him last night, he's on life and death situation but now? Seeing him move like a normal being. Hindi ba dapat balda 'to?

"Taga saan ka ba?" Dinadayagan na nito ang mga pinagkainan niya, siya naman ay tinuloy ang pagkain ng ice cream.

"Do you believe in vampires?" She stops at the sudden question. Vampires? It's a myth.

"No, why?"

"If I tell you they're real would you believe me?" Napatingin siya sa likod ni Akhil. She can see his muscles move every time he moves his arm.

Vampires? They are real? How? Nakikita niya ito sa mga pelikula pero para isipin na totoo ito? Nah.

She knows something about vampires based on the movies she watched. Mabibilis ang mga ito, umiinom ng dugo ng tao, may mga pangil, sensitive sa direct contact sa sunlight, they heal faster, they have pale skin and their eyes are blood red—nabitin sa ere ang ice cream na isusubo niya. Her eyes blink twice, and a scene from last night enters her mind.

Akhil was standing in the middle of the road in his life and death situation, he have three big scratches on his chest like a bear scratched him, and his eyes. She remembers him looking at her with those red glowing eyes, it's like begging for help.

Tumaas ang mga mata niya kay Akhil na ngayon ay nakaharap sa kaniy. She didn't notice him. Napa atras siya dahil sa paraan ng pag titig nito.

His emotionless eyes were now glowing. It's like he wants something—from her.

"Akhil," kinakabahan siyang humakbang paatras.

"I won't hurt you, Adreline, I promise." Nanginig siya dahil sa paos nitong boses, para itong may pinipigilan.

"G-get out, get out! Umalis ka dito!" She starts trembling in fear. Her mind went blank again. God not again. She tries to control her fear but she can't. The last thing she remember was falling on his arm. She falls on the vampire's arm.

"I can't hurt you, I can't."
