Chapter Twenty Two: Tempting Me
"Are you crazy?" bulong ko sa kanya nang kaming dalawa na lang dito sa lamesa.
After the bomb he fucking dropped three hours ago during breakfast with my whole damn family, it was finally us, it was finally time for us to talk... just the two of us.
Ilang beses akong kumain ng kanin dahil sa kanya buong usapan nila, siya at ang pamilya ko.
Gusto kong sabunutan ang buhok ko, gusto ko man pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko dahil nasa harap kami ng pamilya ko.
My parents agreed, my parents agreed for Felix to court me.
Dad was at first surprised, but he liked Felix and I think my mom is... in love with Felix being in love with me.
Ganito rin siya nung naging sila ni Aster at Dominic, it got worse when she heard about Zaiden being in love with my stupid sister for a long time from the moment they met when they were only freshmen in college.
And now... me.
"Crazy in love with you if that's what you meant."
At may oras pa 'ko para mamula na parang kamatis, baliw na ba 'ko?
"Why... why would... you... why on ea—"
"Because I am serious. Seryoso ako sa nararamdaman ko sa'yo at kailangan kong siguraduhin na mahuhulog ka sa'kin, Cerine. And besides... it's better to get on your parents' good side so it'd be easier when I propose to you."
I choked on my orange juice at his words.
Ano raw?
Ano raw yung narinig ko?
Ano yung narinig ko sa kanya?
Propose?
What fucking propose?
Propose fucking what?
"Hey, calm down..." simula niya ulet at pinunasan ang dumi sa labi ko gamit yung tisyu.
"...I know, I'm already thinking about the future—"
"Felix—"
"--our future, sorry, Cerine. Our future." ngiti niyang dagdag.
Oh my gosh.
I'm fucking confused.
"I... I wasn't... d-doubting... you, 'Lix."
Great, I lie now, huh?
"You know, you're adorable when you lie, Cerine. Way too adorable that I want to eat you."
What the fu—
"I'm kidding, Cerine. Calm down..." he chuckled and took my hand and left a kiss on my fingers.
Calm down?
How can I calm down?
"Now that it's official, manliligaw mo na 'ko, walang pwedeng iba, okay?" dagdag niya at nagiwan ulet ng halik sa mga daliri ko, pati na rin sa palad ng kamay ko.
I'm still shocked, wow.
"Are you busy today?" tanong niya sabay lapit sa'kin at haplos haplos sa kamay ko pagkatapos niyang halikan.
