Nakatingin ako sa relong pambisig. Kanina pa ang uwian at ako ang nagpaiwan sa barkada rito sa Poblacion. Marami pa namang mga nagkakalat na estudyante sa paligid, karamihan ang mga magboyfriend-girlfriend.Sina Lowell at Dom ay nagmadaling umuwi dahil pupunta sila sa Galapagos para manood ng Game 4 ng basketball at sasama si Jangkit sa kanila.Napabuntong-hininga ako at nagdadalawang isip kung sisipot ba o hindi. Nakatanggap ako kanina ng text mula kay Crisanta na gusto niyang makipagkita sa akin.Napapikit ako bago tuluyang hinawakan ang doorhandle at tuluyang pumasok dahilan ng pagtunog ng bell sa ibabaw."Slaine, here!"Napatingin ako sa kanang direksyon at nakita ko sila. My mouth left open upon seeing Crisanta's raising her hand, and beside her is her group.Ilang akong napangiti habang naglalakad papalapit sa kanila. Ang buong akala ko ay si Crisanta lang ang gustong makipagkita sa akin."Upo ka," sabi ng isa at marahan akong hinila paupo sa tabi niya.Kaswal nila akong kinausa
Tumila na ang ulan at napansin kong madilim na ang paligid dahil siguro sa madilim na ulap. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa matamang mata ni Paris at tumikhim bago maglagay ng distansiya sa pagitan namin.Naiilang ako at hindi alam kung ano ang sasabihin o gagawin. My mind's confused with everything that has happened. I can't even catch up with the feelings, and I'm a mess for not distinguishing when it should have been put in the right place for a long time.I heaved a deep sigh. Hinatid ako ni Paris hanggang sa labas ng convenience store. Itiniklop niya ang payong at tumingin sa akin. "Gamitin mo muna 'yan para hindi ka mabasa baka umulan mamaya.""P-paano ka naman?"He smiled and then brushed his thumb on my cheek. "I can take care of myself, Ris...""O... kay," I hesitantly said.I suddenly took a step back as I saw him trying to put his hoodie on me. I shook my head, trying to tell him that I could manage, but Paris is Paris. Anything he wants will always be in his favor."Ibabalik ko '
Gaya ng nakasanayan ay hindi ko gaano'ng napapansin si Rafus at inaabala ang sarili sa trabaho. Kapag susulyap naman ako sa kanya, nagtatama ang tingin naming dalawa kaya nahihiya ako. Siguro ay dahil ito sa naging isyu sa akin kamakailan at ang kahihiyang nagawa kong pagtulog sa dibdib niya.Natagalan ang usad ng counter na pinupwestuhan ko dahil sa magboyfriend-girlfriend na nagtatalo sa pagbabayad.The girl wants to pay, but the guy won't let her, and he insist to pay instead. Maski ako ay naguguluhan kung kaninong pera ang tatanggapin. Kapag aabutin ko ang pera ng lalaki, nakakamatay na tingin ang iginagawad sa akin ng babae. Kapag pera naman ng babae ang aabutin ko, seryoso at nakakatakot na paaran naman ang pagtingin sa akin ng lalaki.At the end, Ate Reive exchanged places with me and handled the couple who are still arguing. Ang ibang babae sa paligid ng magkasintahan ay nagbubulungan na sweet at cute daw nila. For me, I find it inappropriate. Of all the places, why are they a
"Oh! The fashionista is here!"I smiled sarcastically because of Jangkit's comment as I entered the room and also made my classmates' attention all on me."You can pass the modeling audition with that outfit, my friend! You have to do some poses, then viola! You can have your schedule for your photoshoot!"Imbis na pumatol sa pambobola niya ay naglakad ako patungo sa upuan at tahimik na nagmamasid sa paligid. Bumalik narin sa kaniya-kaniyang ginagawa ang kaklase ko at naririnig ko ang pinag-uusapan nila Crezst at Jangkit, nagbibiro na susubukan daw akong ipa-apply sa isang modeling agency.I couldn't care more because I was preoccupied. I'm enjoying the feeling of Rafus' coat covering my body. I still can't believe that he'll do this kind of thing. It felt surreal, I've known him for years, and he's not the type of guy who cares about his surroundings.Foreign feelings gushing over of my system as I simply sniffle his coat. His scent is so addicting. I think I'll be having a hard time
"Huwag nalang kaya akong sumama? Makupad akong kumilos baka matagalan pa," Pagdadahilan ko dahil sa totoo lang ay tinatamad talaga akong kumilos.He shook his head, then pensively smiled at me. "I can wait."I sighed in defeat. I looked at him while his attention was on the show, I smiled a bit and then nodded slowly. Fine, I'll let him... this time."Okay, just gave me thirty minutes," I said, then he hummed as a reply, not tearing his eyes off the television.I can't believe I finished preparing myself for the whole thirty minutes, usually I'll just spend fifteen to twenty minutes!Hindi ko nga alam kung paano ako nakabalik sa kwarto ko na nakatuwalya lang! Though, I'm still thankful he didn't turn to look at me. Maybe he sensed it.After spraying raspberry scent perfume on my neck and wrist, I twisted the door of my room. I'm wearing a skin pink cold shoulder top and a high waisted black denim shorts. I wore my usual combat boots because I feel comfortable with it. I let my hair fl
"Look who's here." I came back to consciousness upon hearing a baritone voice slowly coming near to where I was standing.I lifted my head, and my jaw almost dropped when I was welcomed by the two drop-dead gorgeous Dela Rue cousins.I can't take my eyes off the guy who's at the back. My breathing hitched, my knees started to get wobbled, and my eyes were only fixed at him like every move he did was in slow motion, making me totally beguiled and lose my sanity."Mesmerized by what you saw? Relax, it's just Rojas Andrieu Dela Rue." He said and sexily chuckled, but my eyes were glued on the guy at the back.I haven't seen him for five days, yet he'll appear in front of me looking blazing hot? He's not wearing glasses, and his skin got tanned! What made my jaw dropped the most is that he's wearing a black sleeveless shirt, and his arms were in full view! His tanned skin complemented the redness and kissable lips of his. If kissing him is a crime, then I guess I'll be sentenced to reclus
Ilang segundo pa ang nakalipas bago ko narinig ang pagbuntong-hininga ni Martinus. "Boyfriend mo?""H-huh?" Naguguluhan kong tanong."Is Rafus Cattaneo... your boyfriend?"His question silenced me. I was taken a back when in fact, I already perceived he'll ask me that question. I don't know what to do or what to answer. My flirty side wants to say yes, while my conscious side wants to deny it."Slaine Amaris Aranza!" Sigaw ni Crezst papalapit sa akin at agad akong niyakap.Nabaling doon ang atensyon ko at tuluyan na akong hinila ni Crezst papasok ng cottage. My body went numb as I saw Dan comfortably sitting on the couch.I surveyed the whole place and I didn't see our other friends. I took a glance at Crezst. Does it mean they slept together in this cottage last night? If my memory serves me right, Jangkit reserved four cottages. Who stayed in the other three, then?"Change your outfit first, Slaine. Sayang nga hindi ka nakasama kahapon, naghiking kami at pinanood namin ang paglubog
Ilang mesa lang naman ang pagitan ng inuupuan nila sa amin. I can vividly see how Rafus' muscles stretch as he clasps his finger and then places his arms on the table.My kinky side was preying on him as I saw him lick his lips while talking to Rojas. Oh, good God! Lipat mesa nalang kaya ako?I jolted when Dom suddenly wiped the tissue at the side of my lips. I faced him in bewilderedment."Tulo laway mo," mahina niyang sabi saka napangisi. I glared him then got the tissue out of his hold. Pinunasan ko ang gilid ng labi ko pero wala naman akong maramdamang basa roon.He and Jangkit laughed loudly, making our other friends confused. Even Rafus and Rojas turned their heads on us. Rafus was looking at me profoundly, and this was the first time I wished to be gone. As in right now.It's embarrassing for me! I didn't lift my head the whole lunch because once I did, their teasing eyes and smirks welcomed me. They just won't stop, and it annoys me more.Also, I'm not used to Martinus being a
