CHAPTER FOURTEEN

"SO, IF I were to put hickeys on you and leave a mark on you, you wouldn't mind?" Napatanga at hindi makagalaw si Denryl sa sinabi ni Laurentius sa kaniya.

He was speaking hypothetically, right? Like, he's just trying to put a said homosexual guy in his hypothetical question to put the said hickeys on him, right? It was not Laurentius, himself, he hopes? A guy like him wouldn't do that to Denryl . . . right? Why would he do that in the first place?

"Uh, a-ano, I, I." He couldn't form a proper sentence and he looks like a blabbering fish out of water. Cute.

Natawa si Laurentius sa pagkabalisa niya kaya medyo natahimik siya roon at napatulala lang sa kaharap. He didn't get what's so funny. Is he making fun of him? Or maybe he was just kidding around . . ?

"I'm just kidding," natatawang sabi ni Laurentius sa kaniya na may mischievous glint in his eyes. Something inside Denryl was relieved when he heard Laurentius was just kidding about it.

"Ikaw, ha, marunong ka na pa lang magbiro." Denryl gently slapped Laurentius' hard chest as he teased him. Napatingin si Laurentius sa hinawakan na parte ni Denryl. "You look more handsome kapag tumata---hey! Anong ginagawa mo? Ibaba mo 'ko!"

Bigla na lang kinarga ni Laurentius ang ma-ingay na lalaki papunta sa kilid ng dock. Tinignan niya ang tubig sa baba, at mukhang ayos lang naman kung i-tapon niya roon ang karga-kargang lalaki.

"Teka, huwag mong sabihin itatapon mo ako sa tubig! No, stop!" tarantang sabi ni Denryl sabay hampas sa mga malalapad na balikat ni Laurentius. Hindi ito ininda nang lalaki.

"Too late."

At siya nga ay itinapon ni Laurentius sa marahan na dagat. His body collides with the surface of the water that creates a huge splash. Wala na ring inaksayang na oras si Laurentius at sumunod na tumalon sa asul na karagatan.

Nang umahon si Denryl, natatawa niyang hinarap ang lalaki sa tabi. As Laurentius laughs, Denryl can see how bright his blue pair of eyes are. They're very vibrant than usual today. They seemed glowing with genuine emotion and pure intent. And he can feel himself drowning in them.

Napatigil na lang si Laurentius sa pag tawa nang mapansin ang intensidad na pag titig sa kaniya ni Denryl. It's like, the guy is mesmerized by him. And he loves how Denryl stares at him.

Lumangoy siya papalit dito at ilang pulgada lang ang layo nila sa isa't-isa. Isang galaw nang isa sa kanila ay baka magdikit na ang katawan nila.

"Alam mo," panimula roon ni Denryl. "Kung hindi ka lang sana fuckboy at isang gago, I think I would find you a perfect guy to settle with."

Laurentius' breath hitched from the words. There's something inside that triggers or awaken in him. Something warm and fuzzy. An unquenched heat deep within. It is very foreign and familiar at the same time. But he loves the feeling of it.
