After Her Last Straw (Dream Series #1)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Detention
Zanashi

Ngayon ko lang talaga siya nakita nang malapitan at matagalan. May mga oras na malapit kami sa isa't isa pero hindi ko kailanman tinitigan nang ganito katagal ang mukha niya. Madalas nga ay hindi ako nakatingin sa kanya kapag kinakausap niya ako.

Everything about his face is properly placed. He looked like a flawless character residing inside a painting that was painted by the greatest painter of all time. His black hair was always neatly combed that gives him the perfect image of an innocent, unthreatening, and responsible student. However, if you look into his deep eyes, you could clearly see the darkness it possessed. His eyes radiated the aura of a dangerous and untouchable man. It's like there's an invisible force coming out from his eyes if he looks at you directly and intensely.

He's like a living art. Everything about his face is seamless. The bone that is slightly visible on his pointed nose added a strong impression on his face. It's almost impossible to believe how his nose perfectly compliment his bloody-colored lips. His upper lips arched like a bow that's preparing itself to attack. And the straight line just below his lips is very pleasing to see especially when it made its way to his well-defined jaw.

He's, indeed, breathtakingly handsome.

"Hindi na ako magtataka.." wala sa sarili kong sabi.

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. Nabaling doon ang tingin ko. How can an eyebrow looked this scattered and thick yet so organized?

"Are you done checking me out, Pantorilla?"

Doon lang ako tila nagising. Seryoso pa rin naman siya pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit nakikita ko sa mukha niya ang pagkamangha. Pinilit kong takpan ang pagkailang at pagkahiyang nararamdaman.

"So, that's the reason why.."

Tinagilid niya ang ulo niya na parang naghihintay sa sunod kong sasabihin.

"I just realized that you're really handsome, de Lopezes."

Ang misteryosong dating niya kanina ay parang bulang biglang naglaho. Halos mahulog siya sa upuan nang marinig ang sinabi ko.

He looked sideways and I don't know if my eyes were deceiving me but I could actually see the side of his lips going upward. I couldn't confirm it though since he immediately parted his lips. He clicked his tounge and pressed the lower part of his ear using his thumb and forefinger.

He cleared his throat. "What's up with the sudden compliment?"

Nagkibit ako ng balikat. Hindi ko siya sinagot at nilabas na lang ang libro ko habang hinihintay na matapos si sir sa ginagawa.

Totoo naman. Sobrang gwapo ni Sulivan at ngayon ko lang iyon nakita. Kaya pala halos pag-usapan na ng lahat ng estudyante sa school ang lahat ng mga ganap sa buhay ni Sulivan. Kaya pala halos lahat ay gustong-gusto siya. Dahil sa mukha niya.

I nearly scoffed at that thought. Ba't sila nagkakagusto nang dahil lang sa gwapong mukha? He's handsome but it's not enough for me to like him. May mga hanap ako sa lalaki at hindi iyon basta kagwapuhan lang. I like those with determination and principle.

Sulivan has this deep voice and powerful moves, but I prefer man with soft voice and gentle action.

"So you like me now, Pantorilla?"

"You wish, de Lopezes. Gwapo ka nga pero hindi kita type."

Muling naglaho ang mapaglarong ngiti sa labi niya. Kumunot ang noo niya at mukha siyang iritado.

"Right."

Lumapit sa amin si sir nang matapos siya sa ginagawa. Halos kumunot ang noo ko nang sabihin niyang maglilinis kaming dalawa sa storage room ngayon.
