Chapter 24 - I Will Have You On One Side, That is Enough
Prof. Antonio was like a celebrity after getting a shave and a hair cut. People in the mall recognized him and asked to take pictures with us. I just hope he decides to keep up the clean image.
I was able to buy him some clothes and new lip gloss as well, since he keeps misplacing them. We went to our next stop after I forced him to wear it.
“Sabi nang `di ko kailangan ng bagong kansonsilyo, eh!” said the professor while smacking his lips. “At nakakaasiwa ang lasa nitong binili mo’ng lip-gross, mas masarap `yung dati, `yung sugar cookie ba `yun? Eto parang may nagpunas ng sebo de macho sa nguso ko!”
“They are all out of that flavor. Now try these on...” I gave him a couple of under garments and led him to the fitting room.
“Samahan mo `ko,” he said, pulling me after him.
“What?”
“Pano mo `ko balak magsukat nang ganito?” he raised his right hand. “Tulungan mo `ko magpalit.”
“Oh... of course.”
We entered the cramped dressing room. I helped Prof. Antonio take his shirt off and try the new ones. All the while, I tried my best not to touch his skin.
He seems unperturbed by the situation, though, as if he had completely forgiven my offences. Perhaps that is the case.
“Habibi, pakihatak nga `tong pantalon, hindi ko maalis.”
I pulled his jersey down, and am exposed to his body. He is still skinny, but not as gaunt as he was before. Even his arms have gained a bit more muscle. I pulled his jersey off his foot, and as I did, he lost his balance and fell on my shoulder.
“Dahan-dahan naman!” he complained, holding on to me. “Alin ba d’yan `yung isusukat ko’ng kansonsilyo?”
“Here...” I held a pair of boxers for him.
He held on to my head as I squat by his feet. I look at his reflection at the mirrored walls around us. He looks so much better after the trip to the barbers, and his face looks so smooth after he was given a complimentary shave. He looked 10 years younger than before.
If those silly omegas saw him now, I know they would not believe that this is the same professor they were badmouthing earlier.
“Oy, wala ba’ng mas maluwag dito?”
“Huh?” I look up at the professor’s frowning face.
“Ang sikip kamo ng garter nitong kansonsilyo, kuha mo `ko ng mas malaki!”
“In a second...” I stepped outside the dressing room and asked the sales personel for the next size.
When I stepped back in, I saw Prof. Antonio staring at himself in the mirror.
“Pucha, tumataba na ko, ang sarap mo kasi magluto, eh.”
“Thank you for the complement.” I picked up the boxers he left on the floor. “Are the undershirts right for you?”
“Oo, ayos `yang mga sando nila, ha, malambot sa katawan kahit bago lang.”
”Because it is pure cotton.” I told him.
“Kaya lang ang sikip ng kansonsilyo, ayoko ng ganon, makati ang garter!”
He now twists his body and looks at his ass. “Putcha, tumataba ata pati pwet ko,” he pulled at his white briefs.
Actually, he has always had a plump bottom. Some of our former omega interns have noticed it too. They called it his best `ass-et’, considering he usually acts like an ass. It’s a good thing he’s usually wearing a lab coat.
“Oy, saan ka nakatitig?”
“At your ass-et.”
He laughed at this.
“Alam mo ba dati na `kong napaaway dahil may kumurot sa pwet ko?” he bragged, “Akala ata ng kupal omega ako! Teenager pa lang k’se ko noon, eh, habang nag-aaral ako sa US. Putcha, muntik ko na’ng mapatay ang loko!”
“Really? You?” I asked, not believing.
“Oo, kala mo ba? Kasama yata `to sa varsity noon!”
“What sport?” I asked.
“Chess!” he replied with a loud laugh. “As in, pinaghahampas ko s’ya ng kahoy na chess board sa mukha!”
I shake my head and stepped outside once again to take the new boxers from the sales personnel.
“Here, try these on,” I said, squatting beside him.
He took it and bends over to put them on, aiming his plump buttocks toward me. It was all I can do, not to reach out and grope him.
“Ayan, mas maayos na `to, `di masyado masikip ang garter. Patulong naman patanggal...”
He looks down at me and stares.
“O, ba’t namumula mukha mo?” he asks with a frown.
“The place is hot and cramped,” I reasoned.
“Oo, nga, bilisan na natin at nang makalabas na tayo.”
It’s a good thing that I have a poker face.
We paid for the stuff we bought and went to the hospital next.
“O, Eric, kamusta ang kamay?”
“Napaka kati,” he answered, “matagal na `ko’ng tino-torture ng cast na `yan!”
The doctor laughed and got his tools ready. Soon, we were out of the hospital, with the professor sucking on a lollipop.
“Ayaw mo talaga?” he asked, handing me one.
“No thank you, I am not too fond of sweet things.”
“Bahala ka, more for me.” He placed it in his jersey pocket. “Uwi na ba tayo? Ayaw mo ba mag-sine?”
“Sine?”
“Date `to, `di ba?” he grinned. “Dapat manood tayo ng sine at mag dinner sa kung saang 5-Star restaurant!”
”That sounds like a good idea.”
His grin disappeared as he stared at me wide-eyed. I guess he was not expecting me to agree with him.
“What movie would you like to see?” I asked him.
“Ah, hindi na, naalala ko, may tatapusin pa nga pala ako’ng experiment sa bahay...”
“You’re not alowed to work for the rest of the day,” I pulled his hand. “You asked me to go to the movies, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”
“Okay ka lang? Do you even go to the movies?” he mocked me. “Madumi doon, at kung sinu-sino makakatabi mo!”
”I will have you on one side. That is enough.”
