Chapter 22

Past Ghosts

"I love that you're studying."

I turned to Incus who is on the sofa. Sure, he isn't disturbing me by constantly touching me, pero sobrang ingay naman niya.

I warned him by glaring.

"I like that I'm not spoiling you." Ngisi pa niya.

"Turn that volume down, will you? Kita mong may ginagawa ako rito, dito ka naman nag-iingay. Nananadya ka talaga, no?"

"Medyo. Nagpapapansin lang ako sa'yo."

"Pwede bang mamaya mo nang gawin, yan? Doon ka sa kwarto manood.. o ako ang aakyat?"

I really have a thick skin talking to him like that when it's his house. But he wouldn't hold that against me. He wouldn't dare.

He smirked. Pero tinutok din naman ang remote sa TV.

Good.

Tumawa siya. Pinadausdos niya ang sarili pababa sa sahig. Sa likod ko.

"Incus! Sabi ko tahimik diba?"

"Sorry. Naninibago lang akong tingnan kang nag-aaral. You know that i always do the stuffs for you."

"Hindi ko naman sinasabing gawin mo lahat ng assignments ko!"

"But that's okay, though."

"I thought you said kanina that you love that you're not spoiling me?"

"Because...at the same time...i love spoiling you, Sexy."

"You're so confusing. At ang ingay mo pa. I thought i told you to stop talking? Nakakairita ka!"

"Confusing ka din naman. Pero hindi ako naiirita kahit ni minsan sa'yo."

Irita akong nagbuntong-hininga.

"Can you take...even just an hour of break from being a flirt? Kita mong may ginagawa yung tao eh! Next week na ang pasahan nito!"

Bigla niya na lang akong hinalikan sa panga. "See...there's a fine line between like and love. In my case...i'm in love, so i am willing to spoil you everyday. So...Mall?" His lips lightly brushed on my ear.

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. But then, a grin broke on my lips. It's tempting.

"Sure?" Mabilis pa sa alas-kuwatro akong tumayo. I knocked him off a little.

"Halika na!"

"I thought you—hindi mo muna tatapusin ito?"

"Come on! Wala nang bawian 'yan! Ikaw na mismo nag-aya eh!" Pilit ko na siyang hinihila.

Napatawa na lamang siya. Nagpahila na.

Nang makatayo ay sabay kaming umakyat. Iniwan na ang mga gamit ko doon sa coffee table.

Inakbayan niya naman ako habang paakyat.

I held his hand na nakaakbay sa balikat ko, knowing that i'm about to ask him something.

"Babe?"

His head tilted at me. "Say that again?"

"May nakita akong magandang boots doon sa bagong bukas na boutique..."

He realized faster than a hare. Napatawa siya ng malakas.

"Kaya naman pala...Ok we'll get it."

Ngumiti ako ng malaki sa sinabi niya.
