CHAPTER 13

ARIES

Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising. Wala na sa tabi ko si Xeverious. Ipinagsawalang bahala ko na muna ang sinabi niya kagabi.

"Good morning!"

Muntik na akong matalisod sa hagdan ng bigla siyang nagsalita. He was cooking breakfast in my kitchen.

"Ano pang ginagawa mo dito?" Inaantok at iritadong tanong ko.

It's just an acting, gustong gusto ko naman talaga na nandito siya. He didn't bother to face and answer me he just continue cooking.

"Eat." He said.

Parang naguutos ang tono ng pananalita niya. I ate the breakfast he made.

"Do you want to come with me?" He asked.

I choked. Hinamapas-hampas ko pa ang dibdib ko dahil matindi ang pagkakasamid ko.

Putsang tanong iyan! Bakit biglang naging kulay berde ang utak ko.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Dinaluhan niya ako at inabutan ng tubig.

"W-where?" I asked.

He is my boss so I have to come with him everywhere.

"Pangasinan." He answered.

Mabilis akong tumango at pumayag. I also miss my parents and the hacienda, and of course my motorcycle babies are waiting for me.

"Why do you like me?" Walang hiyang tanong ko.

I just want to clarify and ask him why. Sa dami ng puwede niyang magustuhan bakit ako? Lalaki ako.

Binabagabag pa rin ako sa confession niya kagabi. He doesn't like me anymore because he already loves me. That fast eh?

"I don't know. Hindi naman ata natuturuan 'to." He pointed his chest.

"Seryoso ka talaga?" I asked again because I want to confirm it.

"Yeah... naiilang ka ba?" Tanong niya. "Don't worry I'm not gonna ask you to reciprocate the feeling. Just let me like you okay. I'm harmless." He chuckled.

Pati ako ay natawa. Harmless? He's so far from being harmless.

"Do you want to give it a try?" I asked.

Saglit siyang natahimik at halatang nagulat sa sinabi ko. Pero kapagkuwan ay masaya siyang ngumiti.

"Sure!" He exclaimed joyfully.

"Prove yourself to me Mr. Playboy." I said.

He chuckled deliciously then he licked his lower lips.

"I'm gonna prove myself... babe." He was so serious.

I was stunned for a minute. Nang makabawi ay tinapos ko na ang almusal ko.
