Surprise Connection: Unanticipated Love (BXB)

Chapter 1

"Bro, ta papa-tattoo!"

Tumingin ako sa kaharap kong lalake na si Kei na mukhang tanga na nag-hihintay sa isasagot ko.

"Ulol, collage pa lang tayo. Hindi 'yon pwede sa university natin." I roll my eyes on him and he just laugh, followed by Reign's giggles on my other side.

"Gago ka talaga Kei, good boy 'to! Anong mapapala ng pag-aaya mo d'yan? Kulang na nga lang magka-roon 'to ng Halo sa ulo eh."

Ibinaba ko ang librong binabasa ko at tinaas ang kilay ko sa dalawa.

"Saan ka ba magpapa-tattoo? At atat na atat ka?"

"'Di ba alam n'yo naman na bakla ako, may gwapong nagta-tattoo d'yan sa may kabilang bayan lang. Malapit sa atin, easy access kasi kaibigan s'ya ng isa ko pang kaibigan."

"Ano naman? Bawal nga sa'tin 'yan. Mamaya makita pa, anong mangyayari sa'yo? Maki-kick out? No way."

"Please, pleaseee! Isa lang, maliit lang na tattoo!"

Nagka-tinginan kami ni Reign at bumuntong hininga na lang dahil wala na kaming magagawa pa kay Kei.

"Sasamahan lang kita, 'wala nang ibang gagawin pa. Naiintindihan mo, Kei?" He just chuckled and give me a thumbs up.

Makalipas ang ilang araw, naandito na kami sa harapan ng tattoo shop na sinasabi ni Kei. Reign didn't go with us because he have a date with his girlfriend. He's the only one straight on the three of us. Confused pa ako kung ano talaga ako. Wala pang awakening sa pagiging bakla o pagiging straight.

Hindi ko rin naman minamadali at wala rin akong pake. Masyado nang marami ang mga gawain sa college para isingit ko pa ang mga ganyang bagay.

Pumasok na kami sa loob at kakaunti lamang ang tao na narito sa loob ng shop. May isang babae na mukha namang mabait pero sophisticated, well don't care anyways.

"Wait lang natin Hebreo, may ginagawa pa si Sid."

I just nod at him and sit down and take out my phone and play some mind games. Few minutes later, a tall man with a lot of tattoos come and smile endearing  at us.

"How may I help you, young lads?"

I look at my side and saw Kei blushing mess staring directly at the man infront of us. Shameless jerk.

"Uh... Mag papa-tattoo po sana kami. We're from Scondios University, graduating. If I may ask, pwede na po ba kami magpa-tattoo?" Kei ask as I just look at them, not really interested on what will happen.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're in your 20's now, so I guess there's nothing wrong. Come, let me get you to the tattoo room."

He leads us to the room full of drawing which I assumed a sample of tattoo designs. It looks nice, simple yet intimidating.

"What do we have here, Sid?" Another man appear behind "Sid" and man, I don't know, but he sure does looks good.

I feel Kei's nudging my side kaya tumingin ako sa kanya ng nakakunot ang noo.

"What?"

"Anong what, tara na, kanina ka pa nakatitig kay Samuel, tatattoo-an na ako, faster." I rolled my eyes at him and sit down on the other side of the chair across from him.

Tinanong ni Sid si Kei kung anong tattoo ang gusto n'ya at pinili n'ya ang pinaka maliit na tattoo na ipapa-tattoo n'ya raw sa kanyang right shoulder blade. I think it stings if you place it in you shoulder blades... well it's not me anyways.

"I'm bored... what to do..." I whisper to myself and got startled by something cold pressed in my cheeks.

"You look so bored, have some juice to freshen up a bit." He smile at me at naramdaman ko na naman na uminit ang mukha ko, damn it. Is this the sign?

"Your friends name is Kei, what about you? What's your name? I'm Samuel." He then hold out his hands indicating a shake hands, I accepted it and introduce myself.

"Hebreo, nice to meet you, Samuel."

He nod and open the can of juice and chugged it down. As he chugged down the drops of juice, his adam apple go up and down and it makes me feel mushy inside. What's happening? I snap at my own thoughts when he looks at me and wipe his lips with the back of his hands.

"Drink it already, it's not gonna be cold if you don't drink it immediately."

I just open it and drink the juice he gave me and look over to Kei who have a teasing look in his eyes. This dumbass.

We talk about a few minutes and damn man, he looks effortlessly handsome, makes me wanna hol— nothing. You saw nothing. Another minutes have past and it turns out to be hours but I'm not bored anymore since Samuel keep me accompany.

"Wow, it turns out to be good, Kei. It's worth your tears earlier." I silently laugh as he pout his plump lips.

"Don't laugh, Reo. It's not funny. It hurts as fuck. But damn, he looks serious doing me." I raise my eyebrow at him and he laugh continuing his sentence. " I mean, my tattoo."

"Oh shut up, Kei. Napaka mo, you're delusional." I mentally facepalm myself.

"Let's go home now—" I got interupt when someone tap my shoulder. I look back and saw Samuel smile at me. Or us.

"You're going now? Let me get you something. Give me a minute." I nod at him at tumingin kay Kei.

"Ano na naman?"

"Tell me, he caught your attention, right?"

"You know what's right? Treat me after this, I'm fuckin' hungry."

He laughed but sign a thumbs up. "Lunch is on me then."

"As you should."

"Here, Kei, Hebreo. Take this bag of chocolate. It's nothing much but I hope you like it." He smile at me and he blush realizing that I also have Kei beside me. " Uh... I mean, I hope you both like it." He scratch that back of his nape.

I take it from his hands and smile back at him. "Will do. Thank you for today, Samuel." We wave our goodbye and proceed to go out of the tattoo shop.

...

"Ha... that's a good meal, thanks, Kei. You're the best!" I wipe my mouth and drink water beside my plate.

"Well, this is my family's business so yeah, it's good indeed."

"Oh yeah, before I forgot, where's Kiana? I miss her already."

"She's still on Norway together with big bro, they'll come back in christmas I guess. Not sure. But hey, isn't Samuel attractive?" His question caught me off guard and I spit some of the water on his face.

"Yuck, Reo! What the fuck?!"

"What the freak? Don't ask question like that then! You're too sudden!"

"What, it's just a simple question!"

"Still, too sudden!" I glare at him and he just shrug his shoulder and grin at me smugly.

"So he does caught your attention. I can help you, Sid is my friend and so does he."

"Shut up. I don't like him." He raise his eyebrow at me.

"I didn't say you like him though." He sip on his juice sassily.

"J-just shut up, will ya?"

"Okay, okay. If you say so." He smirk at me and I roll my eyes on him.
