“Oh my goodness!” Muntik na ko mapasigaw sa gulat ng pag lingon ko galing sa pagkuha ng gatas sa ref ay may bumungad sa harapan ko.
Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko sa kaba at matalim and tiningnan and parang kabuteng sumulpot sa harapan ko.
“Why are you still awake? It’s 1 am in the morning..” Silas said as he makes way para makaalis ako sa harap ng Ref.
“May lahing ninja ka ba at sumusulpot ka nalang bigla!” inis kong sabi sabay baba sa counter ng fresh milk na hawak ko. Kumuha ako ng tall glass sa cabinet at nagsalin ng gatas. I can feel how he follows every move I make.
“Can’t sleep?” he asked as he walked in front of the counter.
“Obviously!” Mataray kong sagot to hide my nervousness.
We rented a beach house and decided to stay here until tomorrow afternoon, nagkatamadan na kasing bumalik sa Villa at gusto pa nila i enjoy ang dagat. Malapit an pasukan kaya sinusulit na namin.
“You? Why are you still awake?” I asked him then he showed me the cold compress that he is holding. Then he put it on his face.
Napangiwi ako nang maalala kung saan galing ang pasang natamo nya.
Dahan dahan akong naupo sa stool sabay dukwang palapit sakanya, I tried to look at his face, dim light kasi kaya di ko masyadong makita.
Without thinking I held his hand that is holding the cold compress on his face and tried to remove it to examine his face.
Halatang nagulat din sya sa ginawa ko dahil kita ko ang pagmamasid nya saakin.
He has a bruise near his eyes, plus his lips has a cut.
He looks.. Kawawa..
“Does it hurt?” I whispered as I lightly touched his bruise face. He flinched, which made me drop my hand.
“Sorry..” nakadukwang parin ako sa counter habang seryoso ko syang pinagmamasdan.
I pursed my lips and looked straight to his eyes and he is watching my every move.
“Kuya Yvo is the calmest person I have ever known. He doesn’t believe in violence, ayaw nyang nakikipag away.. So I don’t understand why he punched you. You must have done something awfully wrong or maybe unacceptable to make him lose control.” I said while looking straight in his eyes.
“You know him to well..” he said while looking at me in a very serious face. Well he is always serious whenever he is talking to me which by the way is very rare. Unlike with everyone, lalo na with my cousins, he is playful and not cold.
I shrugged. Though every summer and Christmas ko lang nakakasama ang mga pinsan ko, I know them too well.
“So what did you do?” I whispered. “I won’t tell a single soul.” I added that made him smirk.
I don’t know where I took my guts to be nosy.. I am just really curious!
“Why do you want to know?” He asked playfully.
“Just because.” I said as I held my head up high.
He shrugged.
“I told him my dirty little secret, and it made him so damn mad.” he said as he looked from my eyes to my lips.
“Huh?” Umiling ako para i-distract ang sarili ko.
Dirty little secret? What is it that made Kuya Yvo gone mad? Napabiling ako ng ulo.
“Curiousity kills the cat, Agape Mou. Go back to bed, baka hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko. You are a walking siren.” he whispered sabay baba ng tingin nya na sinundan ko.
And right now, kung pwede lang hilingin sa lupa na kainin na ko, baka ginawa ko na! My Silk Robe is open, and I am wearing lingerie, bukod sa kita ang cleavage ko, I know the outline of my n*****s are visible, tapos nakadukwang pa ako sakanya. Mabilis akong napaayos ng upo at inayos ang sarili. Baka isipin pa ng griyegong ito na inaakit ko sya!
My cheeks feel so hot.
Nakakahiya!!
“I have noticed how you love to bend your body, it’s okay with me as long as I am the only person in the room, unlike kanina..there are so many people around us..” Umiling ito at ngumiti. “I don’t like it. Don’t ever do that again.” Makahulugan nyang sabi na ikinainit ng pisngi ko.
“B-bastos!” nanlalaki ang mata kong sabi sa gulat. Mabilis akong napatayo mula sa pag kakaupo at mahigpit and hawak sa robe.
“Don’t feel offended Agape Mou, you’re almost 18, hindi ka na bata.. You should be aware of the real world.” nakangisi nyang sabi sabay taas ng kilay nya na para bang sinasabi na kontrahin ko sya.
Lalo pang nag init and pisngi ko sa sinabi nya! Kailangan pa talaga nya iyong sabihin?! Bastos talaga!
“You know what, para kang bipolar! Kanina lang para kang galit sa mundo, tapos ngayon parang ang saya mo! Okay lang?” naiinis kong sabi. I just want to change the topic because it is making me so uncomfortable.
Kita ko ang pag sasalubong ng kilay nya, dahan dahang naalis ang ngiti nya, and his jaw suddenly clenched.
Bipolar nga!
I was surprised ng tawidin nya ang distansya namin, kanina lang ay naka pagitna saamin ang granite counter table pero ngayon nasa harap ko na sya. Without a word he placed his hands on my waist and placed me back to where I was sitting a while ago!
And I almost screamed in surprise kung di nya natakpan ag bibig ko, when he forcefully parted my legs and pushed himself between my legs. Since my robe is just mid thigh long medyo umangat ito ngpaghiwalayin nya ang binti ko at pumagitna sya. He is close, but not close enough to make our private parts touch each other, and I am so thankful!
“You were right..”Bulong nya sa aking tenga habang hawak ng isang kamay nya ang binti ko at isa ay nakatakip sa bibig ko. “I was so mad..” Napalunok ako sa kaba.
“So mad at you!” he hissed. “How dare you display your body, while only wearing such small pieces of clothes? If you want to do that, just tell me..hindi mo kailangan ng maraming audience, my eyes are enough..and no one, yes NO ONE! Should ever see you like that, just me..my eyes are enough!” he said before letting go of my mouth. He then raised my chin.
“You are mine, just mine Agape Mou.” he said before he kissed the tip of my nose and left me in a state of shock.
What did just happen?!
Halos mabuwal ako nang tumayo ako mula sa pag kakaupo.
I’m not stupid! He is trying to make a move on me! How dare him! Pinsan ako no best friend nya! He should know his place! Hindi nya ako pwede taluhin dahil I’m sure magagalit sakanya si Kuya Yvo!
Ang lamas naman no loob nya! Is he that confident na apapatulan ko sya?! I know him too well. I know that he is a playboy and he is afraid of commitment, for the past year I saw how many girls cried over him! Ano sawa na sya at ako naman ang naisipan nya making target?!
Well sorry nalang sya, but I am different from the girls he played with! There’s no way na papatulan ko sya! Over my dead body!
And how dare him kiss the tip of my nose?!
Inis akong bumalik nang kwarto, dahan dahan akong nahiga sa tabi no Azalea, hangang sa makatulog ako, ay ang inis ko sakanya ang nasa isip ko!
