The Price Of Love
He had his arms wrapped around her. It was as if Yvo's arms were a shield from the leering stares of men and disdainful mumbles from women. He guided her out of the meeting hall. Tracy and her two mindless monkeys stood by the door as they made their way out. She had her arms folded to her chest, her hips leaning to one side as she gave her a mocking smile. The two imbeciles giggled behind their master.Yuka felt the urge to claw her caked up face. It would not take a genius to figure out that Tracy had something to do with this. She had known the she-devil long enough to know how her evil little mind works.Yuka was a proud woman. She didn't like feeling this helpless and she didn't like feeling vulnerable and right now she felt enough of both those emotions to last her a lifetime. If it were some other day, she would have smacked Tracy's face but she could barely hold her emotions in."Whore." Tracy chuckled. Tumakbo siya palabas at hinabol siya ni Yvo. Yvo caught up to her and pulled her into his arms."Ayoko na dito." Hindi niya napigilan ang hikbi na kumawala sa lalamunan niya at isinubsob ang mukha sa matipunong dibdib ng lalaki."I'll get you out of here." Malumanay na sabi ni Yvo habang hinahaplos ang buhok niya.And he did just that. Even though he had work to get back to, he knew Yuka needed her now. They rode his motorcycle and drove away from there. Yvo didn't exactly know where to take her, he just knew he had to get her out of here. "Alam mo, Yvo, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kung wala ka." Sabi ni Yuka bago tinusok ang chicken ball na nasa plastic cup at inilapit sa bibig niya. "Salamat, ah.""You don't have to thank me. That's what friends do." A soft smile made its way across Yvo's face. "Are you okay now?"Tumango si Yuka at humugot ng malalim na hininga. She was still in shock. "Yvo, paano pag nakita iyon ni Tate? Ano na lang ang iisipin niya?" Her eyes began to water. "Baka isipin niya na totoo ang mga sinasabi nila tungkol sa akin. Baka maniwala siya.""Tate's not going to care. He won't care about something as ridiculous as that." Yvo said."Ipapaliwanag ko sa kanya ang lahat. He needs to know." Sabi ni Yuka. "Just calm down, Yuka. It's going to be okay. Walang pakialam si Tate tungkol doon. Trust me, I've known Tate since we were just crawling. Hindi ganon kakitid ang utak niya. He'd understand. I don't think it would even matter to him." "I'm not a whore." She quietly said. She had tried hard not to be like her mother. She was no whore but the way those men had looked at her made her feel like one. She didn't want to be one."No, you're not." Yvo gently said."I'm not a whore!" Although her tone was now firmer, louder, it quivered with impending tears. It was her convincing herself more than anyone else. "You're not a whore. You're nothing like one." He cradled her face into his palms and made her look him in the eyes. "You're a wonderful woman. You're a fighter, tooth and nail, that's what I like best about you. And you're... you're beautiful."Yvo blinked at the last sentence that had slipped out of his mouth. Tears began to spill from Yuka's eyes. It occured to him that this was the most vulnerable he had ever seen her since they met and there was a sudden warmth and a sense of protectiveness that had awoken deep inside him."Ikaw na lang talaga ang totoong kaibigan ko." Yuka wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. Hindi alam ni Yvo ang gagawin sa tinuran ng dalaga. It felt awkward to just sit there as his new found friend seek solace through him. "Huwag mo akong iiwan, ah.""I won't." He said, finally wrapping his arms around her, too."Promise?" "I promise."She was no longer a part of Tracy's IT group and was probably now a social pariah at her school. She could still feel the malicious gaze those men had given her after seeing the video, as if she had suddenly became a prey in their eyes. "Ayoko pang umuwi." She muttered when she saw that it was almost getting dark. She had skipped three classes and instead spent the whole day with Yvo. Wala naman silang pinag-usapan masyado ng lalaki, he just stayed to comfort her. It was what she needed right now and she didn't want this to end. He didn't expect anything more from her. He didn't force to say just the right thing. It was the calm that he brought with him that made her feel warm and secure. It was all she needed as she never had that kind of company."We can't stay here. Aabutan na tayo ng dilim." Aniya."So, iiwan mo na ako?" She cocked a brow."I'm not going to leave you." He shook his head. "Let's just go elsewhere."Yuka thought for awhile and then an idea popped into her mind. "Punta tayo sa Bliss.""Ano'ng gagawin natin dun?" "Eh di magpaparty. Hello! Alangan naman mag-tong its tayo dun?" She rolled her eyes. "Don't you want to have fun?"Yvo just chuckled and shook his head, he was more at ease now that Yuka was being her usual self. Wala din naman siyang gagawin ngayon. Well, he had to do some research but he guessed that could wait. Kahit naman ma-late siya ng konti ng uwi nasa data pa rin niya ang mga research niya. It won't go anywhere. He drove her to Bliss. As usual, there were already a long line of people waiting to get in. The queue stretched around the building and to the block next to it. It was only a weekday night, kung ikukumpara ang dami ng tao sa weekends ay walang-wala ito. Big bodied bouncers guarded the door to the club like a group of centurions. They didn't have to line up, kilala ng mga ito si Yvo kaya nang makita ang lalaki ay inangat agad nilang binuksan ang pinto para papasukin sila."Halika, kuha na tayo ng drinks habang wala pang masyadong tao." Hinatak siya ni Yuka papunta sa bar. The club had just opened and only a few were let in, mostly the VIPs. "Sir Yvo." Lando, one of the bartenders, gave him a greeting nod. "Hey, can we get something to drink? I'll have the old fashioned and what about you?" He looked at Yuka."Isang shot nga diyan ng tequila." Yuka said.The bartender started making their orders and then served it to them. And the Yuka ordered another one after gulping the first shot in one go."Slow down. Baka malasing ka agad niyan." Sabi ni Yvo."Ano ka ba? Malakas ang alcohol tolerance ko, ano?" She bragged. "Lets just enjoy! Sayaw tayo?""What?""Tara na, huwag kang KJ, doc." She giggled."Yuka, I'm not in the mood." Umiling ang lalaki."Dali na. Isayaw mo naman ako." "I'm good." "Don't tell me hindi ka marunong, doc?" There was a teasing gleam in her eyes. "I just don't want to." He shrugged. "Fine!" Yuka huffed and swiped the second shot of tequila off the countertop. "I'm still going to dance." He watched as the little Japanese doll stood up from her seat and walked to the dancefloor. He soon followed after anyway. He couldn't let his friend's girl out of his sight. Lapitin pa naman sa gulo itong babaeng ito."Hi!" Yuka grinned when she saw him as she continued to dance to the music with the tequila in her hand. "Sabi ko na, hindi mo ko matitiis, doc. Show me you can party."Ikinawit ng babae ang bisig sa leeg niya and she started dancing again, her eyes fixed on his. All the noise around them seemed to have drop away and they could only see each other. Just the two of them."Lagay mo ang kamay mo sa baywang ko." Yuka instructed and with her freehand took Yvo's and wrapped them around her waist. She took in a deep inhale before leaning her head against his chest. She pressed her lips together so as not to let the sob out of her lips but it was no use. It escaped from her mouth and her shoulders shook with all emotions she had been trying to push down.Yvo embraced her tighter. "I'm scared." She admitted, there was anger in her tone. Anger for herself. "Ang tanga tanga ko kasi!""It's okay..." Malumanay na bulong nito sa tainga niya. She hugged him tighter and buried her face into his chest. Hinayaan niya ang babaeng umiyak. A few moments after, she lifted her head up to look at him and he looked down at her. Umangat ang isang kamay ni Yvo para punasan ang mga luha sa pisngi ng babae. He felt a push from behind him and went forward, next thing he knew his lips were on hers. Her breath caught in her throat as she made a loud gasp. He still hadn't fully taken in what was happening, all he knew was that her lips were soft and warm and sweet as honey.She pushed him. She pushed him with all the strength still left in her. The push was weak and was effortless but the man got the hint and pulled his face away from hers. They looked into each other again, confusion in their faces slowly morphed to a shocked expression as it dawned to them what had just happened."Shit." Yvo uttered a soft cuss. He had kissed his bestfriend's girl. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."Nag-iwas ng tingin si Yuka, her eyes lowering to the ground. "O-okay lang. Hindi naman sadya iyon.""No, definitely not!" Tanggi ni Yvo."Yvo, mag-ccr lang ako." She excused herself as she felt both her lips heating. Even when it was dark, she was afraid Yvo would see. Agad siyang kumawala sa pagkakahawak ng lalaki at nagmamadaling nagtungo sa banyo. She locked herself up and leaned agains the wall. It was as if her hand had a mind of its own when it lifted up so that her fingers could touch her lips. The lips that Yvo had kissed just a couple of moments ago. It was purely accidental. It shouldn't be a big deal. None of them should make a big deal out of it. Smack lang naman iyon. It wasn't like she had a full blown make out session with Yvo. But she felt bad, she felt as though she had cheated on Tate.
Tate had just finished his commercial shoot when he scrolled through his phone's messages and saw a text from Yvo telling him to come over at Bliss as he was with Yuka. The two seemed to be getting along well and he was glad they were. He was his bestfriend and he'd like for his girl to be good friends with him. There was never any worry that Yvo would snag her girl, in fact it never crosses his mind at all. He remembered back in college when his girlfriend at that time tried to sleep with Yvo at siya mismo ang nagsabi sa kanya nito. "Tate." Yvo waved at him at the VIP. He half-jogged his way towards him."Where's Yuka?" He asked. "I kind of lost her a little bit but she's here" Sagot naman ni Yvo. He didn't know why but he felt guilty seeing his friend. The kiss was not intentional. He shouldn't feel this way. "Listen, Yuka's going through something right now. She needs you.""What are you talking about?" Kunot noong tanong ni Tate."It's better if you hear it from her." Yvo answered."Tate..." It was Yuka walking towards them. Hindi magawang tignan ni Yuka at Yvo ang isa't-isa lalo na sa presensya ni Tate. None of them wanted to acknowledge what had happened earlier. The kiss was with no malice, an innocent smack on the lips that could be easily explained as an accident, but they both couldn't push away the thought that they had cheated. Maybe it was the fact, the one fact that they didn't want to admit, that for a brief second they liked it. "Buttercup." He wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you.""I missed you, too." Her voice was unsteady.Tate was oblivious of the tension between the two. All he could really pay attention to was her face and how beautiful she was. He wanted her to himself, away from all these people. Just as he had her to himself in his pad a few nights ago."Tinawagan ako ni Yvo, kasama ka daw niya kaya napatakbo agad ako dito." He said."Baka naistorbo ko ang shoot mo." Yuka bit her bottom lip and she could still taste Yvo even when she had risen it with alcohol."It was over when he texted. Saka gusto ko din naman makasama ka." Malambing na sabi ng lalaki. She knew now why Tate was called the gentle giant. He may have had the built and body of a god but his eyes were gentle and soft as they looked into hers. It was a beautiful contradiction that had women throwing themselves at him."Buti naman. Napagod ka ba?" Her hand reached up to touch his soft face. "Makita lang kita nawawala na ang pagod ko." He answered with a smile. "Yuka, naiwan mo ito." A woman went up to them. It was Yuka's schoolmate, Ciara, who she happened to bump into earlier and had a chat at the bar while trying to avoid Yvo. The conversation was of no substance, just school gossips. She thanked God she never metioned the video. She wondered if the woman had seen it. Ciara handed her back her cocktail."Ay, thank you!" She smiled at her. "Kita na lang tayo sa school.""Sure." She winked at her."What are we having?" Tate asked, eyeing her drink."Tequila sunrise." Sagot naman ni Yuka bago uminom mula sa baso. She needed a drink to ease her rattled nerves and relieve her parched throat. Ni hindi niya magawang tignan man lang ang kaibigan ni Tate pagkatapos ng nangyari. "That looks nice. Can I have taste?" Tate asked, nicely."Oo naman." She smiled at him and offered him her glass. He took it and took a small sip. "My bartenders sure know how to make a cocktail. Doon tayo sa VIP.""Hey, dude, I have to go." Kunwari'y tumingin si Yvo sa wrist watch niya. "I have some papers I need to-""What do you mean you have to go?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Tate. "Dude, ikaw ang nag-aya sa akin dito. You have to stay with us.""I'd love to except that I'm kind of behind my schedule-""Come on. Ngayon na nga lang ulit tayo nakalabas ng ganito." Tate said. "I'm sorry. I really have to go." Yvo was ready to run to the exit. The awkwardness between Yuka and him was becoming more and more unbearable."One hour." Sabi naman ni Tate and then he patted his back. "Just give us an hour. Would it hurt for you to do so?"He looked at Yuka and the moment their eyes met, she started looking elsewhere. It was not a good feeling, keeping something from Tate. It felt like the two of them shared a dirty little secret. Napapikit si Yvo bago bumuntong-hininga at napahilot sa sentido. "I guess I can stay for thirty more minutes.""There you go! All work and no play makes Yvo a dull boy." Tate chuckled. He had an arm around Yuka as they walked to the VIP section of the club where it was less crowded, Yvo followed behind them as a typical third wheel would do.They sat at the best seat of the VIP lounge, a seat personally customized to Tate's likings. The waiter immediately came up to them and Tate asked for shots of whiskey."I missed you so much, buttercup." Tate left small kisses on the side of her face before finally it started trailing down to her lips. She wished he would kiss her. Kiss her with a burning passion as he had done at his place so that it could erase another man's lips on her. "Kumusta ang shoot mo?" Tanong ni Yuka, trying to ease off the thick tension in the air."Okay naman. Malapit ko ng matapos ang lahat ng commitments ko. But after a month, I have to fly back to US to train for the season's game." He took a gulp from his whiskey." For Super Bowl?" Tanong ni Yvo."Yeah." Tumango si Tate. "I hope we win this again.""I'm sure you will." Sabi naman ni Yvo. "Basta pag balik ko sa US, ikaw na muna ang bahala dito kay Yuka." He pulled her to him. "I know you'll look after her."Yuka stiffened to her seat when her eyes met with Yvo's. She took another sip from her drink when she felt like her throat was getting dry again. Damn it! She didn't do anything wrong. Why did she suddenly feel guilty. It was a stupid accidental kiss. There was nothing more to that and there'd be noting more."Tate, sayaw tayo." Aya niya sa lalaki when Yvo's presence suddenly became unbearable. "You want to dance?" He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist."Yeah. Let's dance." Tumayo si Yuka at hinatak ang lalaki patayo.Tate chuckled and let himself be pulled to the dance floor. By now, people were crowding the whole nightclub and there were still more waiting for a spot outside the building. Mahigpit siyang hinawakan ni Tate, his hands firmly on her waist."Are you okay?" Tanong nito sa kanya.Tumango si Yuka.He bent his head down to her ears. "I heard you're having trouble at school. Sinabi sa akin ni Yvo.""May video kasi..." She bit her bottom lip, she was feeling slightly heady. She didn't know if it was because she was nervous or the alcohol she had downed before Tate had gotten here. "A video?" He asked."Yes..." Tumango si Yuka. "Ayaw kong isipin mo na totoo ang mga sinasabi nila tungkol sa akin."Tate shook his head and pulled her closer. He had an idea what the video was about as he had heard it from Coco before but he didn't give a single fuck. Yuka had a sex video. It was part of her past and that was where it belonged, he was her present now. "No, please don't think I'd think badly of you. Whatever the video is about, I don't fucking care.""Tate, gusto kong magpaliwanag...""There's nothing to explain, you understand?" He made her look at him. "I have feelings for you and you have feelings for me, that's all that matters now."Yuka's eyes watered with tears. She could see the genuinity in his eyes as they looked into hers. She could feel his love for her and that was enough. "Do. You. Understand?" He asked again.Sunod na sunod na tumango si Yuka. "I love you, Tate.""I love you, too." He whispered. She let herself feel. The tightness of his hug enveloping her whole being, his warmth, the soft kisses he leaves on her hair. It was pure ecstasy. Pure love. She felt nothing but love. The world could go fuck itself as long as they have each other. She was drowning in the sensation of him. And then she was pushed away from Tate. Biglang wala na ang lalaki sa mga bisig niya at tinutulak siya ng alon ng mga taong nagsasayawan.Yuka had lost Tate in the crowd of people dancing in frenzy. She didn't know anymore which way was left and right, which was up and down. All she knew was was that she was drowning in the sea of dancing bodies and she didn't care. She felt so light that she thought she'd be floating anytime by now. She was drunk on an emotional high, losing all logical reasoning. All she could do was to feel. Everything were a blur but what she was feeling was not. It felt so vivid, more vivid than anything else she had ever felt."Yuka..." Suddenly a pair of strong hands held her by the waist. She turned and let out a giggle when she saw Tate. She liked the feeling of being this light and carefree. "Hi, kanina pa kita hinahanap. Akala ko iniwan mo ako.""Come on." Hinatak siya ng lalaki, jostling there way out of the crowd. They went through the VIP lounge and walked through another door which led to a spiral staircase. They couldn't keep their giggle as they fumbled their way up the stairs. Up the staircase was a private bedroom. The room had a very sophisticated and musculine feel, it almost had the same interior as Tate's pad. She was pushed to the soft bed and a large body had gotten on top of her. She welcomed his kisses in full abandon, surrendering everything to him...Her whole body was sore and exhausted even when her mind was trying to wake her up. She couldn't get herself to move because she could feel the ache in her muscles everytime she tried to. The joints of her thighs were stiff as were her more sensitive feminine part. Bigla siyang natigilan nang maramdaman ang paggalaw mula sa likod niya. She slowly turned her face to that side and opened her eyes.It was Tate, lying on his back with his head facing hers. She sat up and her sudden movement must have woken him up, his eyes lazily fluttering open. "Good morning, beautiful." He said with an indolent smile."Tate..." She bit her bottom lip and looked under the covers. She was naked. "We... we had sex.""Yes, buttercup. Last night was amazing." He let out a lazy chuckle.She felt the blanket being pulled on the other side of the bed. Biglang pumihit ang ulo niya sa gawing iyon. She gasped when she saw Yvo, next to her. She took another peak under the blanket and saw that he was naked as well. Nasa pagitan siya ng dalawang lalaki, sa iisang kama. She clutched tightly on the blanket that covered her intimate parts and screamed.Tate had no idea what was going on. He immediately sat up like a jack in the box. "What the hell?" Yvo had awoken from his sweet slumber, still dazed and confused. Doon lang nalaman ni Tate kung bakit sumigaw si Yuka."What the hell are you doing here?" Tanong ni Tate sa kaibigan."What the hell am I doing here?" Agad din napabangon si Yvo.Yuka's breathing became erratic habang nagpapalit-palit ang tingin niya sa dalawa. She had slept with both of them. She had slept with two men in one night! Bumangon siya mula sa kama, still clutching the blanket that was covering her nakedness. Bumaba si Yuka mula sa malaking kama at tumakbo sa pinto papunta sa banyo.The two men both grabbed a pillow to cover their sexes. "What the fuck are you doing here, dude?" Tate couldn't keep the anger from his tone."I fucking don't know." Sagot naman ni Yvo."Shit!" Sinuklay ni Tate ang mga daliri sa buhok. "Did we have a three-way?""Fuck!" Napasandal si Yvo sa headboard ng kama.

He let out a lazy chuckle.She felt the blanket being pulled on the other side of the bed. Biglang pumihit ang ulo niya sa gawing iyon. She gasped when she saw Yvo, next to her. She took another peak under the blanket and saw that he was naked as well. Nasa pagitan siya ng dalawang lalaki, sa iisang kama. She clutched tightly on the blanket that covered her intimate parts and screamed.Tate had no idea what was going on. He immediately sat up like a jack in the box. "What the hell?" Yvo had awoken from his sweet slumber, still dazed and confused. Doon lang nalaman ni Tate kung bakit sumigaw si Yuka."What the hell are you doing here?" Tanong ni Tate sa kaibigan."What the hell am I doing here?" Agad din napabangon si Yvo.Yuka's breathing became erratic habang nagpapalit-palit ang tingin niya sa dalawa. She had slept with both of them. She had slept with two men in one night! Bumangon siya mula sa kama, still clutching the blanket that was covering her nakedness. Bumaba si Yuka mula sa malaking kama at tumakbo sa pinto papunta sa banyo.The two men both grabbed a pillow to cover their sexes. "What the fuck are you doing here, dude?" Tate couldn't keep the anger from his tone."I fucking don't know." Sagot naman ni Yvo."Shit!" Sinuklay ni Tate ang mga daliri sa buhok. "Did we have a three-way?""Fuck!" Napasandal si Yvo sa headboard ng kama.
