I was very nervous in my chest when Calix started to remove the wrapped towel from my body. It was behind me and the face was on the right side of my face. Gently kissing my shoulder towards the nape of my neck. I'm still surprised every time it does something strange, just like holding my hand. It was as if electricity was drawn to my palm. His body was warm against my back, so even I felt different.
"Are you ready?" he asked me in a whisper.
I nodded in response. I don't want to prolong the moments because even I am already carried away by my emotions. After removing the towel wrapped around me, my very white and smooth body was revealed to his eyes. Calix seemed to be dazzled when she saw my breasts that were white and very well shaped. He swallowed it a few times that I could clearly see the undulation in his neck. He stared at me, before he started kissing me on the lips. I wasn't going to respond but something in my feelings made me get carried away by what it was doing. It's like I can't refuse anything he does to me especially when I feel his lips gently pressing my lips. Instead of stopping it, I closed my eyes and responded to his kiss. After a few moments, he laid me down on the bed. He ran over me almost sinking into the very soft bed. What kind of emotions are playing in my mind. Calix was already naked so it was easy for him to do the plan. It was to possess me- I could see the doubt in its face but it continued its purpose. I was in tears when he started to bury his huge pet in my womanhood. And I feel like I want to scream because of the pain when I feel the destruction of my skin. I was about to push Calix, because the case was so painful that it tightened its hold on both my hands. I couldn't move so I just closed my eyes and cried because of what happened. After a few more attempts at getting my womanhood, it also succeeded in getting everyone inside. It still moans every time he takes his long and fat caress in and out of my womanhood. The pain was replaced by the tickle of Calix's brief in and out of my womanhood. His grip on my hand gradually loosened until I was the one who hugged him tightly because of the incessant shaking. It was like we were both on fire and I lost myself. We both had hot sex followed by a second and third time in just one night. After Calix's third release we were like wilted vegetables lying on the same bed. Both sweaty and out of breath from what happened. I was staring at the ceiling, while Calix was looking at me.
"Camilla, can I ask you something?" here.
"No. Let's not talk about anything else." I quickly responded to him. He didn't answer, instead he sighed and fell down and fell asleep. While I got up and fixed myself. After I got dressed, I took the handbag I was carrying. I opened it and took out the check with twenty thousand pesos written on it. That was compensation for a night of fun that Calix and I shared. I put it on the table near the lampshade. Calix's cellphone and his beloved watch were lying there. I do not know why Calix accepted my offer when it didn't seem to require money. I stared at the face of this passionate sleeper. His face was so gentle, with thick eyebrows, a sharp nose, red lips that I didn't even taste any cigarettes. I don't know him personally but I can tell from his looks that he has something in life. But I just shrugged my shoulders because in my mind, what do I care, today is the first and last day that Calix and I will see each other. I was tempted to touch her gentle face but my mind stopped me. It's not possible... because we don't have a relationship. What happened tonight is just a memory that will be erased in time. I got up and left the hotel we went to.
I heard loud laughter from inside the gate of the school Connie attends, where other children are also waiting for their pickups. I immediately saw Connie, sitting on a long chair and surrounded by laughing children. I was happy thinking that my daughter was just playing, when I suddenly became worried when I saw her bent over and crying. It turns out that her schoolmates are bullying her so she cries. I quickly approached them and called my daughter's name.
"Connie!" Everyone stopped laughing and looked at me.
One by one they left Connie's side. "Mommy!" she shouted while crying. She stood up and ran towards me. I quickly knelt down so that I could hug my daughter whose cheeks were wet from tears.
"What happened baby? Why are you crying?" I ask.
She reported to me crying.
"They said I don't have a daddy, you just got me from the trash so they said I don't have a daddy." She was crying while she talk.
I was a bit annoyed with the kids who said that to my daughter. So I caught up with the young fat girl who was also one of the ones who teased my daughter. Her Daddy was there who was busy on his cell phone on the side and did nothing to stop the bullying of my daughter.
"Hey fat girl! Doesn't your Daddy teach you proper behavior? What's the use of your Daddy? You have a daddy who doesn't care about you!" I said irritated.
His father stopped talking on his cell phone when he heard what I said. The child hugged his waist and hid her face crying. "So-sorry, Mrs. I did not notice what my daughter did. I'm talking to a client. Excuse me, I'll just talk to her." He apologized to me.
"It's good then, because it's time for her to fool my daughter again and I'll report you to the principal so your daughter can be kicked out!" I will respond to this directly.
I turned it away with a raised eyebrow and asked Connie to leave the school. Connie always rides in my backseat, because I'm the driver.
"It's okay baby. Everything they said was not true. Don't worry because I'm here to always protect you."
"Thank you, Mommy... but why don't I have a daddy? If I wasn't picked up from the trash, where would my daddy be?" asked my seven year old son.
I was speechless at her question. Who wouldn't be surprised if your child asks about her father? I gave birth to her and took care of her by myself. I can give her everything she wants, I can feed her anything she wants, buy her toys, clothes and everything she wants. In my mind, I can give everything for my daughter. But I didn't expect that there was one more thing I couldn't give-that was her father. Instead of responding, I adjusted her seatbelt and closed the door. I can't answer my daughter. Why is she looking for his father? Am I not enough? I tearfully started the car. We went straight to my friend Alice's house. I will entertain my daughter to forget what happened earlier. Because Connie and Lean, Alice's daughter, are almost the same age. She has three children and Lean is the youngest.
"Hello, Ninang!" Connie greeted Alice.
"Hi, Connie! How is your school?" asked Alice. I was stunned by this question because that's why I brought my daughter here to save it she will also be asked about what happened at his school.
"Not good, Ninang. My classmates are telling me that I was picked up from the trash. Because I don't have a daddy..." she complained sadly.
Alice looked at me and shook her head at what happened to her.
"Don't worry baby, that's not true. I have pictures of you when you're a baby, don't I? You are so beautiful, no one will believe that you just came from the trash."
"Yes, Ninang... but where is my daddy? Why does Lean have a daddy and I have nothing?" re-examining it.
"You can call Ninong Dave, honey." I said, referring to Alice's husband. Connie turned to me. Sadness is evident in its eyes.
"But he's Lean's daddy, I want is my real daddy too."
Alice's silence slapped us both. Luckily, Lean came and called Connie.
"Connie! You're here! Come, let's go to my room. I'm going to show you something in my new clothes that Daddy gave me!" Lean cheered excitedly.
"Alright honey, go with Lean. Your Ninang and I just have something to talk about."
When I pushed Connie away, she was forced to go with Lean. We both sighed as we lost sight of the two children.
"So what are you going to do? Your son is becoming inquisitive about his father." Alice and I both sat on the long sofa. I leaned my back.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll always make an excuse for him to always forget his questions about his father."
"How long are you going to make excuses? How long can you avoid Connie's questions? Why don't you want to introduce-"
"No! Stop telling his name!" I responded somewhat irritated to Alice.
"Here we go again, we have been debating about him several times. And everything I said was accurate. Look, I already told you when you were just pregnant... how are your relatives? What about other people who ask you? You said it's okay, you can manage. And after Connie's birth, I ask you again. Can you take care of your child alone? You said. Yes you can. And then now, what if it's your child who asks you? It won't be long before Connie will be a young woman, do you think she won't be angry with what you did?"
"Of course, no. I give him everything he wants. There is no reason for him to be angry with me."
"Are you sure that you have given everything? How about her father's identity?" I was stunned by this question.
"You knew from the beginning that all I wanted was to have a child."
"Have you asked your son, if he also wants to have a mother without a father?" I was silent again. Because everything it says is right and everything penetrates my heart and mind. Because I thought it was easy to have a child. It turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
"I don't want to have anything to do with that man."
"Then go. But don't feel sorry for Connie. He deserves to know his father."
"No! I don't want Connie to meet her father!"
"Then just accept that you are a selfish person." It was like I was slapped by the truth. That I am a selfish person who thinks of nothing but my own wishes.
"I know, someday he will receive everything. Connie will also get tired of looking for her daddy."
"Then pray that their paths don't cross."
"Let's go, honey! Say goodbye to Lean, we're going home."
The two children run down the stairs. Connie is obviously happy again. Child are like that, they forget things quickly because what's more important to them right now is playing.
"Be careful on the way home," said Alice to us.
I just nodded in response. Half an hour before we reached the house. The house I built was big with a height of three floors. There were two maids who greeted us. Connie's gear was immediately taken.
"Ma'am, shall I prepare dinner?" Nelia asked. It is quite old, its job is to cook food for us. While her young friend Lara is the one who takes care of Connie when I'm at work. The two help each other in the housework.
"Just take Connie to eat with you. I'm still a bit full, I'm going up to the room first." I said goodbye to the two before I went down the stairs.
The two were left staring at each other. Concern can be seen on their faces. Because I am close to my housekeeper, I consider them to be real family. They won't last a few years with me if I'm a strict boss. I get along well with them, when I have a problem, I always just go into the room. And when I'm happy, I buy food and we share it with the four of you. I have a habit of harboring problems, insisting on being strong even though the truth is that I am really weak. Entering the room, I lay down on the bed again. Staring at the white ceiling again. I remember Connie. I don't want the time to come when my daughter blames me. But I'm afraid to say that she was just the result of a mistake.
The past is coming back again. [Flashback]
"Daddy, that's right! Stop!" I love Daddy. He was holding the long belt that he was showing to Mommy. Mommy was lying on the floor. He was writhing in pain from Daddy's repeated beatings on him.
"You silly child! Get out of there but you will also be hurt by me!" he said with glistening eyes staring at me.
"Enough, Franco! That's right... forgive me for what I've done. Don't empathize with our daughter. I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of your friends." Mommy was crying and explaining.
"Damn it! You are not satisfied that I give you money. Then you will go there to pick me up! Aren't you ashamed of how old you look! What will my friends tell me- that I'm a careless husband that's why you look like that!"
Mommy's body is bruised because Daddy always hurt her. He is also always awake because she can't sleep every night because he gets home from the office early in the morning. Sometimes he didn't come home yet, because he was finishing up some work. Daddy has no time for us. We don't always get along with him because he is supposed to be busy with his work. But one day I overheard their conversation. They were in the garden, together with his three friends. They drink there. I thought about playing there but I stopped when I saw that Daddy had a visitor. I just hide behind the thick vegetation but I didn't expect to hear their conversation.
"How is Luisa?" asked one of Daddy's friends.
"She's pregnant, she wants to abort the child if I can't take responsibility for her. He wants me to leave Clarissa and she want to live together." Daddy's story to friends.
His friends laughed. They are very fond of Daddy.
"You're really impressive man, girls will really chase you." His other friend's admiration.
That's when I discovered that my daddy had another woman. My father, whom I admired and idolized because of his hard work, suddenly lost everything. I cried when I found out. I ran towards my room, not caring who saw me. I just locked myself in the room and didn't eat dinner. Mommy was worried about me. They thought I was sick so they went to my room and talked to me. Because I couldn't bear it, I told her what I found out. But she just cried when she found out. I never heard any anger from it. But I could feel the pain caused by the tears falling from her eyes. Both of us are harboring problems. We can't bring it out and admit to others that we are hurting.
"Mommy, doesn't Daddy love us anymore? What if he leaves us?" I asked Mommy.
"He won't do that honey, I know he loves us so just trust him."
Trust? Is Daddy worthy of trust? Mommy and I kept everything. Endured everything just so Daddy wouldn't leave us. Until the day came when their relationship ended. He was very angry because Mommy and I went to his office. It's been a few nights since he didn't answer the call, that's why my mom is worried. It's late and there's almost nothing to eat before going to the office. All the employees that Mommy and I met looked at. She is with me in the office. I insisted on going, because Mommy promised that the three of us would go out for dinner. When we entered the office, his two friends were there. There was also a woman sitting at Daddy's table. It is very sexy and full of body jewelry. Daddy's friends were surprised. Mommy was stunned to see. While the woman stood up and quickly adjusted herself.
"W-what does this mean?" Mommy asked Daddy.
His friends made excuses one by one. Hastily said goodbye and left the office with the girl. We were left with three. Mommy was crying but no one could hear her cursing or anything.
"What are you doing here?!" Daddy asked angrily.
"I was worried about you that's why I came."
"Worried? What do you think of me boy? I'll go home when I want! Why? You didn't have anything to eat at home, so you came here?!" it approached angrily.
I was scared for Mommy so I was the one who got nervous when I saw Daddy holding Mommy tightly by the arm.
"That's not like that... so-sorry if I'm going without saying." I could clearly see that my mommy was hurting but she still managed to endure everything. Until Daddy drags him out of the office. Daddy brought us home. Thinking that the fight between the two was over, that's where I was wrong. At home, Daddy will once again continue the anger he feels. He took off the belt he was wearing and beat Mommy. I could clearly see Mommy begging Daddy... But he mercilessly hurt Mommy. I cried until I couldn't stand it anymore. I stopped him to stop hurting Mommy.
"Stop it, Daddy! Enough!" I cried. But it only made me angry, I wish it was meg turning his anger but Mommy caught the stick that was supposed to be for me. Mommy's bruises haven't disappeared from the laughter that has increased again. It has no mercy for us and seems to have no love for us. I run out of the house. While Mommy was left alone. I was only twelve years old then. I am not able to defend myself and Mommy yet. That was the last time Mommy and I were together. When I got home, I found Mommy lying on the floor. While Daddy was stunned on the side. I was surprised that I still came closer to Mommy. But I was very surprised to see it was lifeless.
"Mommy?! Mommy!" I wake it up but it won't wake up. I looked at Daddy. He was obviously very scared and his face was pale.
"I didn't mean to, daughter..." This is the first time he called me daughter. This is the first and last time he will call me daughter.
"W-what happened Daddy? Why doesn't Mommy want to wake up?" It shook its head as it wailed in front of me.
"I didn't mean to... forgive me. Please forgive me!" said Daddy to me. I turned to Mommy again. I woke him up again but failed. I don't know what happened, all I know is that Daddy is to blame for why Mommy died. Things happened quickly.
Daddy was jailed after he surrendered to the police. Mommy accidentally hit her head on a sharp object when she tried to run away from Daddy. So it didn't wake up worse than it's fall. I was the one who took Mommy to her last destination. I hate Daddy so much. Almost all of my respect for him is gone. A few days before Mommy's burial. Daddy was attacked in prison. I didn't go to his mind. I was under the care of my Grandmother who put Daddy in prison. Even when my daddy died, I didn't cry. I did not feel sorry for him. But I'm still thankful because finally no one will hurt me. He won't be able to hurt Mommy anymore because she is in heaven. Bad things are not allowed there, so Mom and Dad will never meet there. That's why I don't want to trust men. I imagine that they are just the same as Daddy. I don't want to be a martyr like Mommy. I can live without a man in my life. I can support my child without relying on a man. So many have flirted with me, but no one passed because I just rejected them all. Even if their intentions are good, I can't handle it because I know that they are good at first. At first they are gentle, and only at first they will respect and honor you. That's how I feel about all men who offer me love.
IT was three in the afternoon when Calix arrived at the NAIA Terminal where the plane he boarded landed. It was a few years ago when he last saw the Philippines. He was greeted by his assistant Justin. He took his bag and carried it towards the car where it was parked right at the exit.
"How was the trip, sir?" Justin asked.
It's age is not far from Calix. The high also has elegance and stature. This is the son of their former driver who has now resigned due to old age.
"Okay, thanks for picking me up."
"Nothing sir," replied Justin.
After a few minutes, they were walking the road to Calix's house. It's also a bit far from there. There happened to be traffic that's why Calix was bored on his trip. He is constantly tapping his watch and checking the cell phone in his hand. "Can we go to the nearest Flower Shop," he said to Justin.
"Okay, sir,"
Calix went to a Flower Shop, to buy a bunch of flowers to give to the most important woman in his life. He hadn't been with her for a few years, so he was excited to go home and be with her again. Calix looked at the beautiful flowers lined up in front of the Flower Shop. Confused about what to choose, the salesperson approached him and helped him decide.
"For whom do you need it, sir? And what other occasion? They are all fresh, that's why they are beautiful and fragrant. It will be really difficult for you to choose." Friendly initial opening of the saleswoman.
Calix smiled at the shopkeeper, then the woman seemed to be attracted and lost herself when she saw her friendly smile. His dimple came out of his cheek and his teeth were white and even. Who doesn't lose themselves when you see a handsome man who smiles at you.
"Thank you, Miss. I'll take these Tulips,"
"Okay sir," the shopkeeper replied with a smile.
It was still staring at Calix while taking the Tulips from the bag. So Calix just shook his head, took the wallet and handed over the payment. He's used to that kind of scenario, how many women are falling over themselves just to get his attention, there's even one who tried to commit suicide if he didn't say he would court her, but it had no effect on Calix. After getting the flower that was bought, it also left the Flower Shop. The salesman was still looking at him even though he was already inside the car.
"Sir, you are that type of chix," Justin said with a smile.
"Yeh, it's too vulgar to like so quickly get such girls."
"You're right sir, it looks like you just winked there and his flag will be lowered right away." Justin said laughing.
Calix just shook her head at what Justin said. He doesn't like those kind of girls. It was a few minutes before they reached the big house that stood in a private subdivision. The big gate opened so the car continued inside until it reached the front of the house. In the distance, he could see a woman standing in front of the door. He smiled immediately and was obviously very excited to see her because his smile was so wide. It still looks the same, still beautiful and unchanged. After the car stopped, he quickly got down to meet the most important woman in his life. Carrying the Tulips, Calix quickly walked up the two stairs to immediately embrace the woman who had been waiting for him.
"Calyx! My dear child... it's good that you're home, you've been gone for so long."
"I missed you, Mom." Calix hugged her mother tightly. It was tears of joy. It was also a few years ago that Calix left their house and settled in another country to fix himself. Even though his mother did not want him to leave because he was alone, he did nothing but let his son fulfill his dream of standing on his own feet. Now, Calix is very different, a professional business man and he is ready to face the positions left by his late father.
"Thank you for the flower son, it's very beautiful you bought it." His mother spoke kindly after reaching the flower. Calix put his arms around his mother and invited her to enter the house.
"It's like nothing has changed here, it's still the same."
"Yes son, you know I don't want to change everything here. Every corner of this house has happy memories of your father and me, so I don't want to change the design of the house. How are you doing in the States? Do you have a girlfriend there son?"
Calix suddenly laughed at her mother's question.
"I had many girlfriends there, Ma. Which of them do you want to meet?" Calix joked to his mother.
"What are you doing, son. Are you still playing with women until now? Don't be like that, because it's bad to play a girl. You too, maybe it will be hard for you to find the girl who is meant for you."
"Ha-ha-ha. It's you, Ma. If the girl you are talking about is destined. And there's nothing to stop it, so it's destiny, isn't it?" he said while laughing out loud.
His mother just shook her head at Calix's response.
"Well, let's eat first. I prepared your favorite dishes. You've lost a bit of weight, maybe you don't eat there, right? I guess you're letting yourself go there, son."
"I really missed the cuisine here in the Philippines, Ma. I kind of got used to not eating sometimes."
"That's what I'm saying, that's why I seem to have noticed that you've lost weight. So come on, increase your food so that you can regain the fat you lost in your body. I'm not used to you not having a bubble in your stomach."
"Ha-ha-ha. Mom, really! When did I talk about abs in my stomach?"
"What abs are there? I think that's a bone that came out of your stomach." Calix laughed even more at what her mother said.
The bonding between the two of them is really fun. That's why they are very close mother and daughter.
"Mom, I will visit Papa's grave tomorrow. I want to tell him that I am ready to face everything. I will prove to him that I am useful now."
"Alright, Son. I will join you tomorrow. I know your father will be happy wherever he is now."
A few years ago, Calix was called by his father almost every day. Calix is very close to the gang, he doesn't want to take the job his father gives him seriously. He is the only child so who will manage their business? No one but him. Calix can be found in expensive bars almost every night. Who knows who and the woman will change it. No Calix was the one who approached the girl, but the girls insisted on being her boyfriend. Because of what he was doing, his father almost gave up on him. Until one day his father died, due to his chronic illness. It turned out that he had cancer, and it was bad before he knew it. Calix regrets what he did to his father. It turns out that he has a disease, but he doesn't say it. He was forced to try the company to manage. But the first time he gave up immediately. He is not really ready to follow in his Papa's footsteps. He feels that the company will fall on him if he continues like that. That's why when Calix's father died, he decided to study again in the States. After finishing, he trained properly until he became a professional. Today is the day he will face everything. And he is excited about that.
The next day, after visiting his father's grave, he went to the office where he will start his first day working in his father's own company. There was his Uncle who succeeded him first.
"It's good that you're back, Calix. Are you ready?" asked his Uncle Harold.
This is his mother's brother, which is why Calix's family distrusted Harold. He has been working for the company for several years so he knows everything. It became his father's left hand, so it was well honed.
"Thank you, Uncle. Yes, I'm ready!" Harold smiled before nodding.
"Let's go inside the conference room, everyone is waiting for you."
This is the day Calix will face his duty. So the entire staff had a meeting to announce his return. Not as the son of their old boss, but their new boss. Almost everyone stopped when Calix entered the door. They were amazed at the new Calix. He became even more handsome and his body became even more curvaceous. Calix is not really thin. The truth is that her body is very beautiful. It's like a model, or it even surpasses the actor who stretches his body in the gym. Almost all the female employees were stunned and mesmerized by the handsomeness of their boss. Someone even dared to ask if he had a girlfriend. Calix answered the question seriously and when he said no, the girls stopped. Harold just laughed and shook his head because of the behavior of all the employees. When they left the conference room, Harold immediately reminded him.
"Maybe one day I will find out that all our employees have become your exes, Calix. Be matured, don't hit them if you can..." he said, still laughing as he was reminded.
"Don't worry, Uncle. They are safe with me, I'm not eager for girls. What I want in a woman is the one I torture."
"Ha-ha-ha. Very good! That's what I like about you, you're adventurous."
