Smiling Cat Novels & Stories

I am not used of smiling, bata palang ako hindi na ako palangiti pero dahil sa trabaho ko lahat ng pagpapanggap ginawa ko na. "Baliw," natatawa paring sabi ni zai ng biglang bumukas nanaman ang pinto. "Hi august! Namiss mo rin si mavis no?!" "Hello, didn't expect you here." "Yeah, namiss ko lang si Drei." "I see," lumipat ang tingin sakin ni August. One thing about him, he really hates smiling too infront of so many people. Mapangasar lang siya, pero ngumingiti lang 'yan kapag kami kami nalang. And he was just forced by his mission to do the same.

Sa lahat naman ng oras ay ang taray nito at palaban na husto. “Hindi ako tatalikod.” He smirks. Napalunok si Catharine sa ngisi niya. “A-Ano?” “Palilibrehin mo ako ng isang round.” His grin widens. Natahimik ang dalaga at naitago ang mga labi na noon lang niya napansin na kaya pala parang lalong ang ganda dahil may candy pink na lipstick at baluktot lalo ang mga pilik-mata – tapos inaaway-away lang niya.

"Whoever that man is, I'm happy for you, Trinity. I hope this glow in you would last for long." "Thank you, Calle—" Nahinto siya sa sinasabi nang biglang may munting tinig na sumigaw sa sulok ng entry kung saan naka-display sa estate ang mga naka-frame na larawan ng limang mga pusa niya. "Oh, I see so many cats, mommy!"

Hindi ko pa na lock ang baba kaya nahubad niya iyon. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang tuluyan niyang mahubad ang helmet. Kitang-kita ko ang pag-awang ng labi niya kasunod ay isang smirk. "Kitten, huh." Ngumiti ako ng pilit saka nag-peace sign. To be continues 🩺

Siya naman ang napaiwas ng tingin. “W-what are you talking about?” “Ngumiti ka diba?! Umamin kana!” Alam kong OA akong magreact pero gusto ko lang talagang makita na ngumiti si Ice, kahit isang beses lang. “So what if I smiled? Is it a big deal? It's just a smile.” sabi nito at tumingala.

Nasa ganoong posisyon ako, nakasimangot at parang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa, nang natigilan ako at may naramdamang bagay na dumikit sa pisngi ko. Hindi. Sinadyang idinikit ito sa pisngi ko. Paglingon ko ay nakangiting Riel ang bumaling sa akin. My hand flew up to touch whatever he had just stuck to my face. I peeled it off and squinted at it. A small, round sticker. A cartoonish drawing of a lucky cat, Maneki-neko. Nakangiti ito sa akin, habang ang isang kamay ay nakataas na para bang kinakamusta ako.

Ang sarap! "Ganito ba?" a deep husky, man's voice answered and the next thing I knew, his fingers were inside the crater of my kitty. He teasingly moved them inside out. Tapos, something wet was laving and flicking the bud of my poor kitty. It feels like a tongue and it felt so so good... ...

Miro laughed so hard he almost fell from his chair. I pressed my lips together para hindi ako matawa. Caelan looked like he wanted to walk into traffic. “Homework,” he told Nica. “Draw mo muna ako ng cat.” “No.” “Please.” “No.” She stared at him with big eyes. Caelan lasted three seconds. “Fine.” He grabbed a receipt, flipped it over, and drew a tiny cat in less than ten seconds. Nica gasped like he just performed actual magic. Honestly? Same.

Wala. Bumuga ako ng malalim na hininga at nilingon siya. Napataas ang kilay ko ng makitang mapaatras siya. What a scaredy cat. Tsk. I gave her my most ironic smile. My smile is fake yet it would appear to her as a genuine one. Tumango-tango pa ako, “Yeah, you’re right, Marina.” I smirked inwardly when I saw her puff a breath of relief.

Strawberries! Napansin kong hindi ginagalaw ni Lucas ang pagkain nya. He's staring at me the whole time. I suddenly remembered a scene like this. That's it. The white cat who followed me in a cafe. The cat is just staring at me while eating. Deja vu, huh? I wonder where's the cat now? “Hi, Lucas.” A girl suddenly approached Lucas, it's Yuri. Nabaling sa akin ang tingin ni Yuri and she's glaring at me like she want's to kill me or something.
