KISS

Tahimik si Ansel habang nagmamaneho. Para siyang hindi mapakali. Nakahalukipkip lang ako.

From: Direk Joe
We have a meeting with the agency in their company tomorrow. Please don't be late.

I breathed sharply. I am pretty sure this is because of the commotion awhile ago. Nailing ako. And I know for sure that the rumours are already spreading like wildfire right now.

"B-baby?" Paos at kabadong tawag ni Ansel sa akin.

Hindi ko siya tinignan dahil iniisip ko ang kagagahang ginawa ko kanina. Was I too jealous that his past lover was getting his attention that's why I acted so recklessly and showed him affection publicly?! Pero gusto ko rin naman ito diba?

Bakit ba kapag si Ansel ang usapan, nawawala ang self-control ko?!

I looked at him without emotion.

"Fuck," Ansel muttered under his breath when he glanced and got a look on my face.

"Minumura mo 'ko?"

I gasped when he stopped the car at the side of the road. "Ansel! Ano ba!" I held my chest. "Are you trying to get us killed?!"

Natahimik ako nung mapatingala siya. He looked at me and gulped. "Baby, do we have a problem?"

Maski ako ay natigilan dahil sa pagkahinahon ng boses niya. He looked calm but also nervous at the same time. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kamay ko nang kunin niya 'yon at inilapit sa labi niya.

Hindi. Hindi maaari. I cannot be weak with the way he calls me!

"Will you please tell me so I would know how to respond?" Seryoso ang mukha niya habang inaantay akong sumagot. All of his attention is on me right now. Mukhang handa siyang pakinggan lahat ng hinanaing ko.

I tried to pull my hand back but he shook his head and held it tighter. "Sagot muna," he mumbled.

Huminga ako ng malalim. "I am just tired, Ansel," nag-iwas ako ng tingin. "Just drive."

"If you are worried about the rumors spreading in the internet right now about us–"

"That's not my concern, Ansel!" I suddenly fired. "Wala akong pakialam kung kumalat ang balita tungkol sa akin. Let the world know about us. I don't care anymore."

He stilled, watching me before nodding. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin para pakalmahin ang sarili ko.

"Then is this because of Bianca?"

Agad ko siyang tinignan dahil don. He was looking at me with those perfect eyes that draws me closer to him every damn time. Eyes that were focused on me the whole night.

Naninibago na rin ako sa sarili. I know how to keep myself calm. I know when and how to react appropriately to not cause any trouble in my reputation. But all those control were washed away. Instead, I acted on my impulses recklessly.

I don't know how he thought of it. Pero iyon naman talaga ang dahilan. At alam kong I am acting a bit immature. Wala naman siyang kasalanan sa tingin ko. Because the whole time we were at the event, his predatory eyes never left mine.

"No–"

"Lie better, Baby. I know you damn well enough to know your concern," Ansel said.
