"Catch Me, Attorney. (Law Series #4 || Season 1 & 2)

PART TWENTY: A Change of Heart

THIRD PERSON POV.

"I'll be your boyfriend, then..."

With a smile planted on his lips, Levi looked at Nash's eyes intimately, as if he was seducing him through his gaze.

"What do you think?"

Amusingly, Nash met his eyes. From staring at him with a mild shock on his face, Nash gathered himself in a split of seconds and stared at Levi's eyes with a face full of disgust.

"Gago ka?"

Doon na natawa si Levi. Sa sobrang lakas ng tawa nito ay napasandal na ito sa head restraint ng kotse nito at hawak-hawak ang tiyan.

"Masaya ka talaga sa ganyan, 'no?" inis na tanong ni Nash. "Eighteen ka na, Levi. Kailan ka ba tatanda? Grow up!"

"I don't wanna grow," Levi answered him. Nakatawa pa rin ito. "If I would grow up, I can't be your baby anymore."

"Okay, I had enough!" sa sobrang bwisit ni Nash ay dumampot siya ng kung ano mang madarampot niya sa kotse at ibinato iyon kay Levi. Natamaan ito sa ulo at doon natigil sa pagtawa.

"THAT HURTS!" sigaw nito.

"Mas masasaktan ka 'pag 'di ka nagtino," sabi niya rito.

"That's okay, mas nag-e-enjoy nga ako 'pag nasasaktan during—BURLINGTON, DON'T—"

Huli na nang may makapa si Nash sa side pocket ng kotse.

He looked at Levi unbelievably.

"Wala kang first aid kit sa kotse mo pero condom—iba-iba pa ang flavors, marami?!"

"Well, I warned you," sagot ni Levi at nagsimulang paandarin ang kotse. "Makulit ka kasi. Don't pretend like you haven't used one before."

"Well, I haven't," kalmadong sabi ni Nash.

"You haven't?!" Levi intentionally exaggerated it. "Shall we?"

Nash gave him a sharp look.

"Shall we go the fast food near the crossing?" pabirong dugtong ni Levi. "Chicken nuggets na gusto ko."

Napa-iling na lang si Nash. "Wala ka nang pag-asa."

Kumuha siya ng isang condom at inilagay sa wallet niya.

"Akin na lang 'to ha. Lalagay ko sa wallet ko, pampaswerte raw 'to. Para naman mag-s*x ang mga pera ko at dumami."

Napangisi si Levi at hinablot ang wallet ni Nash at kinuha ang condom.

"Paano darami, e nilagyan mo ng condom?"

Nash scoffed at first but he ended up giving a small laugh.

"Woah..." reaksyon ni Levi habang nagma-maneho. "First time ata kitang napatawa?"

"Hindi ako tumawa dahil sa 'yo. May naalala lang ako," pagsisinungaling ni Nash.

"That was a lame excuse pero okay, sabi mo e," sabi ni Levi at pumalatak. "Hindi ka pwedeng mag-actor, Nash. Ang pangit mong umarte."

"Ah, acting ba?" sagot ni Nash. "Like ilang years kang nag-acting na friends lang kayo ni Missi pero mahal mo na pala for so long?"

Nawala ang pagkakangisi ni Levi at sumeryoso ang mukha. Ilang minuto silang natahimik at walang kumikibo.

"I'm a good actor, then," Levi said, finally breaking the ice. "See? She didn't notice."

Nash felt the pity and he hated himself for being that insensitive.

"Pero may balak ka bang umamin sa kanya, just in case hindi nabulgar?"
