Tease Me, Sir [Completed]

6

"ATE GRACE una na ako, " Maxine said to her roommate.

"Ala sais pa lang ng umaga ah, bakit ang aga mo naman ata na umalis?!" Tumingin si Grace sa kanyang relo para masigurado kung anong oras na. "Alas-otso pa lang nag uumpisa ang klase sa QSU, diba?. Bakit ang aga mo naman pumasok?-Teka lang kumain ka na ba?!" tanong ni Grace kay Maxine.

"Sa school na ako kakain Ate Grace may importate lang ako gagawin kaya kailangan ko na umalis" Sabi ni Maxine saka mabilis na kinuha ang bag niya.

"Ano ba ang gagawin mo?" Pahabol na tanong ni Grace "Huwag kang magpapa-gabi ng uwi at baka masarhan ka ng pinto ni Aling Nida, Alam mo naman ang oras ng Curfew diba?!" pagpapaalala ni Grace kay Maxine.

"Opo Ate Grace" Ngumiti si Maxine kay Grace at agad na lumabas ng apartment.

Pagdating niya sa Unibersidad ay wala pang estudyante doon. She walked to the Library, which was the meeting place for her and Ashley. Nasa harap na siya ng library nang makita niyang lumabas ang asawa mula sa opisina ni Sir Noah. Malapit lang kase doon ang Office nito. Nakaramdam siya ng kaba kaya dali-dali siyang pumasok sa Library upang hindi siya makita ng mag asawa.

Maxine sat at the front desk in the library to wait. She felt bored, so she stood up and left her bag on the table, to take a walk and find a book to read. She went to the very corner of the library but she couldn't find a book that she could read because everything was purely for the Academy.

Maxine sighed and looked away when she heard a footstep from the left side of the library. She thought it was Ashley but when she saw Sir Noah, who was sharply looking at her, she felt disappointed.

"Why are you here so early?" Noah asked and raised his left eyebrow.

She cleared her throat and acted like she was looking for something: "N-nag hahanap ako ng libro."

Noah leaned on the bookshelf and made a poker face. "Why do you seem nervous?"

Ibinaling ni Max ang tingin kay Sir Noah "Sinong may sabi na ninenerbyos ako? Mainit lang dito sa Library kaya pinagpapawisan na ko, SIR!" mariin niyang sabi saka agad ding umiwas ng tingin. Maxine was about to walk away when Noah suddenly pulled her and pinned her on the bookshelf.

Nakapikit at pigil hininga siya habang hinihintay ang susunod na gagawin nito.

Narinig niya ang mahinang bungisngis ng guro kaya hindi maiwasan ni Maxine ang pag-init ng ulo. Halos namumula na ang kaniyang buong mukha sa inis pagkat tila pinaglalaroan siya nito. Gamit ang kaniyang buong lakas, at gamit ang kaniyang mga palad itinulak niya ito palayo sa kaniya. "Huwag kang ngumiti..." mariin niyang sambit.

"I can't even smile?" tugon naman ni Sir Noah.

"Masaya ka bang pinaglalaroan ako?-"

Noah stepped another distance then grabbed both of Maxine's arms. "Are you asking because you don't know?. Aren't you the one playing with my feelings? I can't help myself to think of you since yesterday."

Maxine took a step back to avoid Noah's sharp stare. "A-ano bang pinagsasabi mo-"

"Don't pretend, as if you don't know. Didn't you miss me", Noah asked her.

Maxine couldn't open her mouth and seemed to run out of breath due to the tension and tried to loosen his grip on"K-ailangan ko na umalis" aniya saka humakbang paalis.

"Did you hate me that much?" dagdag pa ni Noah.

Agad na lumingon si Maxine sa gawi ng guro "May asawa ka na, kaya papaano?-"

"That's not the issue", said Noah.

"Oo, tama, walang kinalaman sa akin 'yon" mapaklang sagot ni Maxine saka humakbang muli.

"Running away again like you did yesterday?"

"Kailan man hindi kita tinakbuhan. Diba ikaw yon?" malamig na tugon ng dalaga.

"I am sorry for all the mistakes I've made. Forgive me for our peace of mind", Noah said suddenly.

"Sorry" mapaklang tugon ni Maxine "Akala mo ba madali lang magpatawad? Na kapag sinabi ko na pinapatawad na kita ay napatawad ka na ng puso ko?. Siguro nga pag sinabi ko na tinatanggap ko na ang sorry mo eh ikaw lang ang mapapanatag ang loob. Paano naman ako?."

"Give me a chance Max, until the time comes when you can forgive me. Look, Max, I'm trying to get along with you. That's why I'm trying to apologize. But if your mind remains closed, your heart will be full of bitterness for the rest of your life", said Noah.

"So kasalanan ko pa ngayon?."

"No, it's not that. What I'm trying to say is try to open your mind--"

"Putcha magtagalog ka" bulalas ni Maxine "Hirap na nga akong intindihin ka- hirap pa ako na intindihin 'yang English mo" dagdag pa ni Maxine "Nakakawala lalo ng urat."

"Lagi mo na lang dinadaan sa biro ang lahat kaya lalo tayong hindi nagkakaintindihan."

"Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?.... Wala na tayong dapat pag-usapan pa kaya paalam na" sabi ni Maxine pagkatapos ay kumaway sa guro para magpaalam.

Paalis na sana siya ngunit hinapit nito ang kaniyang beywang saka ipinasandal sa bookshelf. "A-ano na n-aman ba?" nauutal niyang sambit.

"I've been holding back Max. I don't know if I can stop myself anymore" halos pabulong ng sambit ni Noah.

"S-ir" nauutal niyang sambit.

His face came closer and she could already smell his breath, and without a word, Noah crushed her with a passionate kiss. She was shocked by what he did. That's why she couldn't move for a few minutes before what just happened sank into her brain.

Her eyes widened and her whole body almost stiffened. When she came back to her senses, she pushed him hard, then gave him a strong slap.

Noah caressed his cheek and looked into Maxine's eyes again. "I want you back Max."

"Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo?" ani Maxine.

"I know you're angry, but I still feel like there's a connection between the two of us. If you don't want to, tell me, then I'll stop."

Maxine couldn't answer so she stepped away to avoid Noah's question. Hindi niya maiwasan ang maiyak kaya hindi na niya nagawang lumingon pa kay Noah. Agad siyang bumalik sa mesa kung saan niya iniwan ang gamit niya at walang ingat itong hinablot saka kumaripas ng takbo palabas ng library. Nang makarating siya sa girls room ay agad siyang pumasok sa cubicle at binuhos ang lahat ng kaniyang mga luha na kanina niya pa pinipigilan. Kakaiba ang nararamdaman niya sa tuwing tinititigan niya ang mga mata nito, lalo siyang nasasaktan na parang nagpipira-piraso muli ang durog na niyang puso.
