Kabanata 8: Call

"Stop," I warned her. "I'm already sleepy."

"Again?!" Nagsalubong ang kilay nito.

She's still in front of me, sitting on my lap. I couldn't move. Ni hindi ko rin magawang tignan niya. I even feel my heart beats pounding rapidly.

I yawned. "I need to rest now, Iana."

Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko nang muli niyang haplusin ang tiyan ko. I held her wrist. I warned her to stop but, she just smirked at me.

"Is it true that the girl you kissed last night found dead at the bar?"

"Let me change first before answering your question."

Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang umalis na siya sa harapan ko.

"Don't wear your bra." She said in a low voice.

Inalis ko na ang bra ko. Naglabas din ito ng damit para sa akin. I quickly hugged the pillow beside me when she turned her back to me. Sumilay na naman ang mapang-asar niyang ngisi.

"Manyak," ani ko.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin nang ibato niya niya sa akin ang nilabas niyang damit.

"I told you I also have those. Mas malaki pa." Masungit na sambit nito bago tumalikod.

Mabilis kong sinuot 'yung damit sa katawan ko. Tumikhim ako para malaman niya na tapos na ako. Humarap na ito sa akin at muling tumabi. Pinagpatuloy na niya ang ginagawa niya sa akin.

I couldn't help myself to stare at her. She has those perfect almond-shaped and coffee-colored orbs that can hypnotize you just by staring at them. And, her addictive pinkish lips that you can kiss forev--

What the hell, Allison?! 

"Stop staring." Bulong nito sa akin. "Paki sagot ang tanong ko."

I fake a cough. "Yah. She was found dead at the bar. She has two stab; on her chest and neck." 'Yan lang ang sinabi ko sa kaniya.

Tumango naman ito. "Sino naman ang suspek sa pagpatay sa malanding 'yon?"

My brows furrowed when she emphasized the word 'flirt'. "Her boyfriend." Maikling sagot ko sa kaniya. "You're enjoying the view, aren't you?" Natatawang sambit ko nang mapansing nakatitig ito sa tiyan ko kahit nakadamit na ako.

She just rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Harwell."

After that, without even trying, I fell asleep in her bed. I was awakened by the loud sound banging at the door. I roamed my eyes. Wala akong nakitang Iana. Inis akong bumangon at binuksan ang pinto.

"What are you doing here?" Bungad ko kay Morill.

Napailing ito. "You look wasted." She scanned me from head to toe. "I don't care if you still have fever but, I need you now. Magpalit ka na, hihintayin kita sa labas." Dire-diretso niyang sabi.

My body is languid right now. I could feel my head wants to explode anytime.

"Aalis ka na?" Tanong ni Iana na kagagaling lang sa banyo.

I nodded my head gently. "Uncle is looking for me now." I made an alibi.

"Saan kita pwedeng makita?" Tanong niya habang pinapatuyo ang buhok niya gamit ang blower.

"Usual place, Police Station." Sagot ko.

"Magpalit ka muna para mahimasmasan ka. Kumuha ka na lang ng damit sa cabinet ko." She said. "I'll bring you food later."
