Waking Up in Vegas

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Nakapagpipigil hininga. Nanlaki rin ang mata ko dahil sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa. Kung ibabase sa ruler, our face was only two inches away from each other! Bahagyang bumaba ang mata ko at naglanding sa kanyang crotch area, ga'no ba kahaba 'yon? Pero pakshet! Anong ginagawa niya sa 'kin?!

At this moment, mas natitigan ko ang mukha niya. His deep set of black eyes are making me feel like devoured by it, nakalulusaw at nakatitindig balahibo. Mahahaba at makapal din ang mga pilikmata nito. Mukhang tatalunin pa ako ngayong naka false lashes ako.

But that doesn't stop there, his clean shaved face and perfect proportion of his symmetrical wet lips. I noticed he's clenching his jaw and then my eyes landed on his neck and saw an almost purply-dry hickey.

So, he's a playboy?! Oh Gosh. And who leaves that dirty hickey on him? So disgusting! Hindi man lang lagyan ng contour para takpan!

"What are you doing?" I questioned and felt my voice stuttered and trying to compose myself so surely. Ngayon lang mas lumalim ang bawat paghinga ko. I can breathe fine on my uniform, pero bakit pakiramdam ko ngayon sumikip bigla ito? Hindi naman overnight lumalaki ang boobs so that doesn't count!

"I'm not doing anything." Ngisi pa nito. Takte, ang bango ng hininga. Hindi amoy mint, o kung ano man, this man take his hygiene seriously pero bakit sa loob pa ng lavatory? This is gruesome!

I swallowed so hard, parang nakalunok ako ng ano...ng buto...buto ng...santol? Puñemas!

"You're too close to me," usal ko, hindi ko pa masyadong binubuka ang bibig ko baka sabihin niyang may mabaho ang hininga ko. May personal hygiene rin naman ako, pero baka i-judge niya ako nang wala sa lugar.

Umusog siya papalayo sa akin ng ilang inches. "Is this fine?"

Hindi ako nakasagot. Gumapang ang kamay ko sa bandang ibaba hangga't sa maabot ang flush handle at ibinaba iyon saka tumunog ang flush ng toilet bowl. I don't know if it works pero nagawa kong yumuko at umalis sa pagkakukulong niya ng matipunong braso niya sa akin. But we're still close to each other, but good thing, I did that.

I can breathe extra fine now.

"So what you said was true?" He speculated then pocketed his hands. Mas nalula ako sa tindig niya. I'm only on my flat shoes and he's still taller to way more inches than me. Bakit ngayon ko lang nare-realize ang lahat ng ito? This man made me crazy from thinking what happened in Vegas pero hindi tayo lilihis!

"What did I say?" I wondered pero agad akong umaling. "Don't mind that question. Ito ang sagutin mo," pagpunto ko sa kanya. Baka siya ang naliligaw sa usapan namin.

To think na Filipino siya, he knows what I'm doing!

"Hmm?" He hummed, he smiled lopsided. Mukhang nangaasar pa.

"I know this question is too much but you have to answer me, did we have sex?" I seriously asked and I looked straight into his eyes to catch his sympathy from my situation.

He almost burst into laugh pero pinigilan niya 'yon. We can't be heard that we're both inside the lavatory now! Ayokong mahuli at masabihang lumalandi during work. That's so unprofessional at ayokong matanggal sa trabaho just because of this incident.

"What now? Answer me!" I groaned, kumuyom ang palad ko at gusto kong suntukin ang mukha niya but I need him to cooperate with me. "Answer me or I'll call this sexual harassment! You can't push a crew inside the lavatory and put your interest on me. Try me, kahit bilyonaryo ka pa. Kakagatin kita!"

But from all my anger and temper, tinawanan niya lang ako. "You're such a crazy girl." At nakuha pa niyang tapikin ang balikat ko. Hinawi ko iyon papalayo sa akin. Maugat 'yong kamay niya.
