The Gay's Kisses (One-off Series #3)

Kiss 5

NASA labas pa lang ako ng pinto upang kumatok, yet I heard a loud thud from the inside. Lumingon-lingon ako sa paligid kung may mga tao bang dumaraan, but I saw no one kaya naisipan kong ilapit ang tenga ko sa pinto para pakinggan yung nangyayari sa loob.

I know this is wrong but I am curious.

"I want it to be you, I badly wish that it was you," I heard Alexane's voice. Mas dinikit ko pa ang tenga ko para marinig sila. What's going on?

"You are marrying my cousin at ikakasal na kayo an hour from now, what a whore you are to come here in my room and nake?!" Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa dumagundong na boses ni Francis. Is she really in her nothingness right now? Nakaramdam ako ng inis, oh gracious. Sana walang mangyari sa kanila.

"Sana sayo ako ikakasal, bakit ka pa kasi bakla? I am beyond happy from the moment nang malaman ko na sa isang binatang Ortiz ako ikakasal. Noon pa lang ay ikaw na talaga yung gusto ko---"

So, does it mean date for convenience lang yun sa kanila ni Kian? They are just forced to be with each other.

"I am gay, you better go out before I call my relatives especially Kian---"

"Own me, please. Tatablan ka rin!" She's begging. Ano ng nangyayari sa loob? I need to do something. As I was trying to reach my phone to call Kiana, I heard Francis voice dominated the room that made me let go my phone.

"Leave. I want you to leave!"

Agad ko namang pinulot yung phone ko at umatras ng pumihit yung seradora ng pinto at lumabas si Alexane na umiiyak at inaayos ang suot niyang roba.  I was stunned to see her in that situation. Her make-up messed up.

I am still overstimulated, yet Francis called me out that made me back to my reverie.

"Zely, kanina ka pa?" He looks worried and his impit na boses is back, different from earlier.

"Ha, hindi. I passed by here, just now. Kiana told me to come here---"

"You didn't see or hear something? You look flustered," tanong niya.

"W-wala, nothing. Kakarating ko lang talaga, ano bang meron?" I lied and acted as if I'm confused, sana hindi niya talaga mapansin ang pag-stutter at gulta sa ekspresyon ko.

"Pumasok ka muna," then, I didn't hesitate to go inside.

"What brings you here pala?" He asked while putting some tea in the cup.

"The dressing room is still crowded. Kiana suggested na sayo daw ako magpapa-ayos, that's surprising. I mean, I didn't know you were a make-up artist. But I already bet---" I paused. He's looking at me while raising his right eyebrow, I am so talkative when there is something bugging me. I hope he won't feel it.

"Here," at inabot sa akin ang cup na may tea. Tinanggap ko ito at agad sumimsim para maalis ang kaba sa dibdib ko. The tea tastes refreshing.

"I know you saw her," panimula niya, muntik ko pang mabuga yung iniinom ko.

"Ha?"

"Kiana texted me na papunta ka na raw sa room ko and I anticipated your presence, I waited, yet she's the one who came." Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya, she's waiting for me at hindi si Alexane.

"That girl is so bitch, she thinks that she can get what she wants. I am gay for Pete's sake, ayoko sa tahong," natawa ako sa inakto niya but deep inside I am hurt. I know that he's gay and for the nth time, wala talaga akong pag-asa.

"Yeah, I saw her approaching kaya huminto muna ako at nakita ko na pumasok siya sa room mo---" I partly said the truth, hindi ko na sinali na na-curious ako at nakinig sa kanila kanina.

"I know you knew hahaha, you look weird when you lie. Anyways, let's start your makeover," tumango ako at umupo sa single chair.

"You are a make-up artist din pala?" I asked habang nakatingala sa kaniya, he's tall, around 6 ft at mas lalo akong lumiit dahil nakaupo ako.

"Yeah, I bet sinabi ni Kiana yan," habang nakatingin ako sa kaniya ay dumako ang tingin ko sa labi niya. All the vivid memories flash in my mind. The kiss.

Nang umalis siya para kunin yung make-up kit niya. I looked down at nagkukunwaring nakatingin sa kuko ko. Oh no, sana hindi niya na matandaan.

"I love your freckles," tugon niya ng makalapit sa akin. My heart fled a thump, bakit ako kinikilig na ewan? Shit, he makes my system go malfunction. I flench nang maramdaman ko ang pagtama ng daliri niya sa mukha ko. He lifted my chin up.

"Your freckles looks so adorable and it suits you." Dang. Nagliliparan na yung mga paru-paro sa tiyan ko at para akong natutunaw sa tingin niya. He complimented me, which I rarely received from someone.

"Yieeee kinikilig siya, namumula ka ghorl," napahawak naman ako sa pisngi ko na mas nagpatawa sa kaniya. Pati pag tawa niya ay nagmimistulang kanta sa tenga ko.

"Ha? Baliw. Simulan mo na yung paglalagay ng make-up oi, malapit na yung kasal." I diverted the topic at sinunod niya naman ang sinabi ko.

"Aight, let's do your makeover. Tignan natin kung hindi maglaway sayo yung damuhong Kian na yun." Natawa ako sa sinabi niya, I really can sense na ayaw niya sa pinsan niyang yun.
