CHAPTER 4

CLARK

"Fuck, fuck, fuccccck!!!!"

Clark was hysterically cursing the moment he and Norman entered the car. Hindi niya inaasahan ang pangyayari kanina.

"Relax baby boy. Timothy doesn't bite a sexy man like you and he don't lick also. As far as I know." pabirong sabi sa kanya ni Norman

"Don't baby boy me right now. Why does he have to even be here?" Tanong niya dito

"Because he owns a unit here?" Patanong na sagot ni Norman sa kanya

Maragas niyang hinarap ang lalaki at hinapas ang balikat nito. "Seryoso ka ba jan? He does live here?"

"Yeah. We both own a unit here. He's 2 floors above you while I own the pent." Norman said while shrugging.

"And you didn't tell me because?" Taas kilay na tanong niya dito.

"I'm lazy to look for another building that suits your taste?" Patanong na sagot sa kanya nito kaya hinampas niya ulit ito.

"Look baby boy, my reasoning is true. And also, bakit ka naaapektuhan? The last time that we discussed was that you told me the kiss from that night eight years ago was nothing. And you told me you don't even like him? And as far as I know, Timothy doesn't have hots for guys. Look, you're too precious to invest your time with someone like Timothy. I mean he's a great guy, but you get what I'm trying to say, right?"

He sighed in defeat. Tinanguan na lang niya ito at inihilig ang katawan sa upuan ng sasakyan.

Hindi naman siya naaapektuhan masyado. Hindi lang siya handa na sa ganoong pangyayari sila magkikita ni Timothy.

Napapikit na lang siya ng mata at nakita ang gwapong mukha ng binata. Ngayong kalmado na siya, naalala niya ang lalaki. Mas lalo itong gumwapo. His facial features were hotter than before. Sexier even. And his beard made him so beautiful. Nakadagdag ng sex appeal. Ganoon pa rin ang confidence na sinisigaw ng tindig nito. Broader shoulders, leaner muscles, and Greek God-like features. Damn the man is too hot to handle.

Napabuntong hininga na lang siya ulit at iwinaksi ang mga iniisip. He came back here not to flirt but to work. And as still his number one principle, don't flirt with a straight guy.

Kagaya nitong si Norman Lantod. Paano itong lalaking to, masyadong madikit. Simula ng magkakilala sila noong college ay hindi na 'to humiwalay sa kanya. Hatid sundo siya niti dati kahit magkaiba sila ng pinapasukan.

Sa sobrang dikit nito sa kanya, akala nang iba ay mag-jowa sila. Norman always held hands with him, kiss his forehead, or even always put his arm around his shoulder. Kaya lagi niya itong kinukurot noon dahil maraming kababaihan na siya ang inaaway. Ganda ko kasi, natatawang sabi niya sa isip niya.

Pero sa totoo lang, parang nakakatandang kapatid niya ang tingin dito. At ganoon naman rin si Norman sa kanya na bilang nakababatang kapatid ang tingin sa kanya. Norman's parents even visited and took care of him when the family did a vacation in the US. They even know his sexuality which is no big deal. Biro pa nga ng mga ito na gusto nila ng babae sa panilya kaso hindi na talaga nasundan si Norman. Para na talaga siyang kapamilya ng mga ito. Which he was grateful. And that was also the reason why Norman was calling him baby boy.
