"Nandito na pala si Jimmy Alapag," natatawang sabi ni Kuya Toto, ang isa sa mga team mate niya. Nagtawanan sila ng mga kasama niya habang si Aaron naman ay nakakunot-noong lumapit saamin.
"Anong ginagawa mo r'yan?" nakataas ang kilay niyang tanong.
"Nakikipagkuwentuhan."
He rolled his eyes in annoyance and grabbed my arm.
"Hey!" I protested.
Kung kanina ay sweet siya dahil sa paggawa ko ng banner, ngayon naman ay para siyang leon na gustong manakmal. Nagpaalam ako nang matino kay Kuya Toto, habang tinanguan lang sila ni Aaron bago nagpatiuna umuwi.
I jogged to catch up. "Ano ba'ng problema mo?" I snatched his arm which is a bad idea because he looked at my hand balefully.
"Umuwi na tayo," he said before taking off my hand and taking huge steps towards the house. I sighed and followed him.
Nang makapasok kami sa bahay ay ibinagsak niya pasara ang pinto.
"What the hell, Cassidy? 6 pm na, hindi ka pa pumapasok sa bahay! Kailangan ba talagang sunduin ka pa sa labas?"
"I was just making friends, Aaron." I shot back.
He massaged his temples before looking at me. "You're not allowed to make friends."
"Who gave you the right to tell me what to do and what not to do?" My voice had a slight hint of anger in it. The nerve of this guy!
"I bought you, remember?"
And that did it. I laughed sarcastically. "Oh, yeah. Thanks for the reminder that I don't own my life anymore."
His features softened. He tried to reach out for me but I backed away.
"I'm tired. Good night," I turned my back and headed towards my room. Before my hands could even touch the knob, he twisted my body. I looked away, averting his gaze.
He sighed and tucked the loose strands of hair falling on my face. "Cassi, look. I'm sorry."
"You're right anyway. Binili mo 'ko."
Then he held my chin and I shut my eyes real tight. Ayokong tingnan siya sa mata kasi mawawala ang galit ko agad.
My heart always softens with just one touch from Aaron Ceyx Monteverde. His arms wrapped around me and I felt the familiar surge of warmth.
"I just want to go to sleep," I spoke, stuttering.
He shook his head and whispered, "No one's sleeping tonight."
He leaned forward and our lips met. He was kissing me passionately. All the cells in my body are shouting, telling me to stop.
But why would I? I love the feeling of his lips on mine. It tasted like all the good things on earth. It tasted like marshmallow and love. Adoration and melted chocolate. It's been such a long time since I've last tasted his lips.
