Lies In Lace – Frappauchino

He tugged, pulled me closer until the ground beneath my feet disappeared. Kinakabahan na kumapit ako sa kaniya. My arms shot around his neck, my legs locking tight around his hips like a koala. I clung to him so fiercely my nails almost broke into his shoulder. He didn’t look annoyed. Didn’t laugh. Just kept moving, steady strokes pulling us further into the water. “I can’t—” My voice broke. “I can’t feel the ground.” “But you can feel me,” he said simply. The water was too fucking cold. It cut through my skin, seeped into my bones.

I shivered violently, pressing closer to him. Pumikit ako at nag-isip ng puwedeng idahilan para huwag na kaming tumuloy sa mas malalim pang parte ng dagat. “Ilya,” I gasped. “My arms hurt—” “You’re not holding yourself up,” he immediately cut me off, almost bored. “You’re holding on to me.” And fuck him, he was right. Halatang-halata niya na nagdadahilan lang ako. The water roared in my ears, but I knew it wouldn’t eat me.

Not as long as I clung to him. I pushed back slightly, just enough to see his face. God. Of course he had to look that handsome even with seawater dripping from his jaw, even with his eyes narrowed like knives. His lips were set in that permanent scowl, a scar pulling sharp across his cheek. Hindi iyon masyadong halata kapag malayo, pero ngayon ay kitang-kita ko. It was faint, but it was there. When he moved, the sun hit his wet skin, making every tattoo come alive, ink rippling with muscle.

I wanted to slap him. I wanted to kiss him. I hated that both instincts burned the same. Ano bang nangyayari sa akin? Bakit ba lagi kong nakakalimutan na demonyo si Ilya? Eh, wala naman siyang ibang ginawa kundi patunayan sa akin kung gaano siya kasamang tao. “Why aren’t you busy with…

you know.” My chin lifted slightly. Nagpasimula ng usapan upang mapagtakpan ang sariling damdamin. “Mafia work. Bratva empire. All the shit that keeps your hands dirty.” He huffed out a laugh, cruel and humorless. “You’re work. This is work, Charlie. Keeping you alive long enough to be useful.” I rolled my eyes. “So generous. Teaching me how to swim so you can drown me later?”

Kadarating niya lang, bitbit pa ang malaking bag niya kung saan nakalagay ang mga pamalit. Ipinatong niya iyon sa lamesa at agad na sinipat ang sarili sa salamin. “May nadaanan na naman akong bangkay kanina dyan sa Sales. Adik daw, eh.
