Beast Love

Chapter 3

Spell

Wala naman kaming ibang pinuntahan kundi ang mga lugar na pinuntahan ko kanina.Ang pinagkaiba lang ay may kasama ako ngayon.Hindi na ganun kasama ang panahon,mahina na ang patak ng ulan at huminahon na rin ang ilog at may mga sumakay na turista na rin dun.Baka pwede ng bumiyahe bukas.Sana nga.

I still take a few pictures with him,a different angle of him.Taas ang kilay nitong nilingon ako.Kinuha nito ang camera ko at may nilapitan na babae.

"Let's take a picture of us."
Huh?

Hinapit nito ang bewang ko palapit sa kanya at humarap sa babaeng may hawak na camera.Matapos magpasalamat ay tiningnan nito ang kuha.

"What?"
Hindi ba maganda ang pagkakuha nung babae?

He is wearing his eyeglass again and he still manage to look adorable.Mas nagmukha itong seryoso at matured tingnan.

"Not bad."

Kinuha ko ang camera at tiningnan ang kuha doon.Maganda ang pagkakuha.We look like a real lover who is very much in love with each other in this shot.Na syang kabaliktaran sa totoong buhay.

"Let's go."

I smiled secretly and follow him.He is right.We should enjoy what's happening right now,set aside the tomorrow.Kumbaga ang ngayon ay ngayon.

Pumasok ito sa isang sikat na botique at tumitingin ng mga damit doon.He's going to buy clothes?

Umupo ako sa upuan at kinukunan ang bawat galaw nito.I watch him picking some clothes and checking something on it's label.

Apat na paperbags ang bitbit nito pag labas namin.Madilim na dahil gabi na pala.Hindi ko na napansin ang oras dahil ang tagal nito mamili ng damit.Para din itong babae pag nagsa-shopping.

"Let's eat dinner before we go back to the hotel."
Nagkibit balikat ako.I think he is the boss now.Ayaw yata nito na sinusuway sa gusto nito kaya pagbigyan ko sya total sya naman ang gagastos.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm...you choose for me cause you're the one who will pay.Right?"

Bahagyang tumawa ito.Without looking at the menu,he told the waiter about our food.

I raised my brows to him.It's not his first time in this country or in this place.Parang kabisado na nga nya ang lugar na to.

"Most women i've encountered was doing nothing but to please me.They never oppose whatever i want on anything.They're soft spoken and sweet.Except you.You are bold,tactless,fearless,who is always doubtful and questioned everything,who never or try to ask my whereabouts,and a woman who didn't make a move to seduce me."

Ngumisi ako sa kanya.Tinukod ko ang isang kamay ko sa mesa at bahagyan lumapit dito.
"Cause...i am not your woman.I never pretend to you or to anyone about me.I mean,what you see is what you get.If you don't like it,then don't.Who cares? Why would i ask about you? We're not going to see each other after here.We're from a different country and both stranger,so leave it like that.Why would i seduce you if you're the one who's seducing me?"

He laughed at what i said.I rolled my eyes to him.Do i entertained him a lot?

He grinned at me."Did i seduce you?"

"Hmm...try harder."
I wink at him.

Nakangisi itong nakatingin sa akin.At napapailing nalang ako.Hindi ko alam bakit ko nasabi yun o kung ano ang kahinatnan ko sa mga pinagsasabi ko.This guy infront of me will never surrender unless i fall of his charms.

"I'll work harder baby..."

Tumindig ang balahibo ko sa kanyang sinabi at feeling ko pulang pula ang mukha ko.Bakit iba ang dating nun sa akin? It's something green!

Inirapan ko ito.Malibog na lalaki to eh.

Pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao sa lobby ng hotel pagdating namin,lalo na ang mga babae.I know he is worth your attention once you will see him.Kumbaga kung buntis ka,sya yung worth na paglihian.When it comes to physical appearance,perfect! In short,worth syang pagpantasyahan habang tirik ang araw.

"Ah...excuse me Sir? We received a call from Mr.DeVaughn and he said that call him as soon as posible."

Tanging tango lang ang sinagot ni Viktor sa receptionist.Kinuha nito ang kanyang phone at may tinawagan.Seninyasan ako nitong sumunod na syang ginawa ko.May kasabay kaming dalawang babae sa elevator habang may kausap ito sa phone.Wala naman akong naintindihan sa pinagsasabi nya dahil ibang lenggwahe ang kanyang ginamit.

Pero base sa tono ng boses nito ay parang galit ito na kinokontrol lang dahil may ibang tao sa kanyang harap.

Wala itong imik pagdating namin sa kwarto at bahagya pa nitong hinilot ang kanyang sentido.

"What's wrong?"

He sighed."Nothing.There's a problem in the company right now that they don't know how to fix it."
Kaya sya galit?

Hindi nalang ako kumibo.Instead i went to the bathroom and did my usual routine.Paglabas ko ay may hawak na ito na kopita at may lamang alak.And a bottle of wine...of course.

"Wanna drink?"

Why not.Pagbigyan ko sya ng isang beses.Wala naman sigurong masama.

"By the way,this is for you."
Inabot nito ang isang kulay brown na paperbag.The logo is too familliar and it's saying that it cost a lot of dollars.

Tinanggap ko yun at binuksan.A beige and brown slacks,two white blouse in silk is inside.
"Why?"

Nagkibit balikat ito saka ininom ang natirang alak sa kanyang kopita saka nagsalin ulit.
"Why not? It's a gift from me.Thanks to you cause my stay here is not boring."

Tsk.Kilan pa ako nagmukhang clown?

"Did you give a gift to a woman you've meet before?"

"No.Why,are you jealous?"

"Jealous your ass..."

Tumawa ito at lumagok ng alak muli.
"I realized,you're the first woman i've encountered who's not easy to please.Like what i've said,you always questioned everything."

Nagkibit balikat ako.I felt dizzy already.Paano ba naman hindi ko na namamalayan na sinasalinan nito ang kopita ko pag nauubos na.He said that we're going to finish the bottle till the last drop.
"That's who i am."

Tumango tango ito."I know."

I don't know how it started or who's started kissing who.His kiss is addicting and his mouth is delicious.But i know who's the person i'm kissing right now.And it's like a spell,i can't resist him.
