Chapter 11

"And now you also live here?" She pointed to the surroundings. I nodded.

Magkaharap kami ngayon sa sala, hinihintay na tumunog ang takore hudyat na kulo na ang tubig. Tanging ilaw lang at ang nakabalot na tuwalya sa katawan ang pinagkukuhanan namin ng init. 

Hindi pa kami nakapagbihis, balak ko sanang parihamin siya ng damit pero nawili ako sa pagkwento ng mga naranasan namin dito sa shop.

She didn't ask me to tell my story or make me feel obliged now that I had heard something about her past, yet I still did. It is my way of consoling her, to make her forget what happened, even for a while.

I don't share with people what happened in my life or my past because I'm afraid they'll use it against me, but in her, I found myself easily shredding the walls down.

She keeps making me get out of my comfort zone on my own. Just how long will it take for me to completely bend my principles? Only for her?

Na-kwento ko na rin sa kaniya lahat ng alam ni Eira, pero ang tungkol sa ina ng kapatid ko, kakaunti lang ang sinabi ko. And it's all about the memories I had with her, but then, nothing stayed in my mind aside from pain after she left. 

I trust Ash, and I know she also trusts me, especially since she made me stay even though they were having an argument. Somehow, I feel such fulfillment kahit na hindi naman dapat kasi nagtatalo sila, but I have this urge to be there for her when she needs me, and I'm glad that I was a while ago.

I have trust issues simula no'ng iwan ako, pero hindi pwedeng naka-isolate na lang ako habang buhay. That's why I have this ideation of trust—in order for me to trust somebody, that person should trust me, too. That's why I didn't hesitate to open up to her.

Napayakap siya sa tuwalya habang nanginginig ang kamay pati na ang labi. Nag-aalala na ako, sana kumulo na ang tubig para makapagkape na kami at nang mainitan siya lalo.

Pansin ko ang hinhin at elegant niya pa rin tignan kahit nilalamig. She's definitely an eye candy and I can no longer deny it, she's pretty intentional with her actions too.

Hindi ako masyadong pumupuri sa kapwa since hindi naman big deal sa akin ang hitsura ng mga tao but I really find her attractive and prolly more than that.

There are no words that can justify how she looks.

"Why are you staring? Do I look pale? Don't worry, I'm good. . . my skin is just pale." Sunod-sunod na sabi niya dahilan para magtaka ako. 

Ano kaya hitsura ko kanina habang tinitignan siya at naging ganito ang reaksyon niya?

"Nilalamig ka ba?" What a dumb question, self! It is as if I asked her if she was breathing.

"Not really. . ." she said, smiling. "Your fiery stares is enough to warm me up." Napaismid ako. 

Hala sige! Ginaw na't lahat-lahat maharot pa rin!

"Hindi naman sapat 'yan para mainitan ka—"

"It turns me on—"

"Shut up!" Napahampas ako sa lamesa. Natawa siya. Uminit ang likod ng tenga ko dahil sa hiya.

Kanina pa kami naghihintay pero hindi pa rin kumukulo ang tubig. Baka mamaya lagnatin siya, halata pa naman na hindi siya sanay maligo sa ulan.
