KISSING MY KRYPTONITE

(A/N: UNEDITED)

"Did you sleep well last night, Miss Veneracion?" Ma'am Averie inquires.

"Ayoko na nga magising ma'am, sa sobrang ganda ng tulog at panaginip ko," nakangiting sagot ko sa kanya, ang gilid ng mata ko ay nakapirmi kay Professor Cordova na hinahanda ang pagkain namin sa round wooden table.

May kanya-kanyang food ang bawat guest house, exclusive delivery from the well-known seafood restaurant of Ymannuel's hotel.

"The bedrooms are comfy, I would definitely come back here one fine day," Ma'am Averie takes a sip of her coffee.

"Yes please, hindi ka mabibigo ma'am," ngumiti ako at muling sumulyap sa professor na nakaupo sa tabi ko. "Ikaw Professor Cordova, gusto mo pa bang bumalik ulit dito pagkatapos ng mga nangyari kagabi?"

Hindi siya agad sumagot, umarko nang bahagya ang isang kilay niya, pigil ang ngiti kong tumitig sa mga mapulang labi niya. She took a bath this morning because her hair was still damp, and I think the floral white dress she's wearing is another one from Ma'am Kelani.

"I don't want it to happen again," she answers in nonchalance. "The eat and dare game is fun but it's not really for me."

"When it comes to this beach resort, I would be lying if I said I didn't want to return," she adds.

Her voice kapag bagong gising is everything, deserve niyang maging crush ko siya..

Ganito ako kakulit kausapin siya kasi alam kong kapag kaharap namin sina Ma'am Averie ay hindi mababalewala ang mga tanong ko, hindi niya kasi ako pinapansin magmula pa kanina at alam ko kung bakit.

It's because of what happened last night that followed by another kiss before we fell into sleep. I woke up this morning without her at my side, and the two other teachers didn't notice because I rushed out the room first before they did.

"Ang kinis ng muka mo 'no? I know this isn't because you came from a family of beautiful people, if I may ask, ano'ng skin care mo?" usisa ng 'di maawat na bibig ni Ma'am Averie na kanina pa titig na titig sa magandang muka ko.

"Alagang safe guard lang po 'yan, ma'am," nakangising sagot ko habang kabado sa loob-loob ko dahil sa kapalpakan ko kagabi, naalala ko na naman.

Ma'am Averie's lips form an 'o' shape, "Oh, you don't use skin care products? Wala kang secrets?"

"Who used my pH care? Averie?" Ma'am Kelani came out of the bathroom and asked that question, I nearly choked on my coffee. "Or you Rafa? Gumagamit ka ng ganitong brand?"

"Miss Veneracion used it," diretsong panlalaglag sa 'kin ni Professor Cordova, damn it. Bakit ang bilis niya lang ako iwan sa ere at ilaglag?

Ma'am Kelani turns her gaze at my red face. "Meziah?"

"Hindi ko ginamit, ma'am," pilit na tanggi ko, siyempre ayokong aminin! "You probably left it open last night tapos..ano, natumba kaya nabawasan.."

"Ah, kaya pala nakalahati. I was about to say, it was misused, and it wouldn't be safe in that case."

It was actually used incorrectly, I'm sorry for lying. Buti nga hindi ko pinang-shampoo o toothpaste, eh. Hiyang hiya na ako kay Professor Cordova kagabi kasi naamoy pa niya, ayoko nang sundan 'yon ngayong umaga at sa harap pa talaga nilang tatlo.

Tumingin ako kay Professor Cordova na prenteng sumisimsim ngayon sa kape niya, bakit niya ako sinumbong? Nang-aasar ba siya? What if I'll do something to make her blunt mouth swell more? Binubulabog ng mga labi niyang maingat na dumudulas sa rim ng coffee mug ang atensyon ko. How about maging tasa ng kape na lang pala ako?
