"You have tattoos?" Hawak ko sa bandang tagiliran niya nang mapansin ko iyon matapos kumawala ng labi ko sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung ilang minutong naglakbay ang labi at dila niya sa'kin kanina but it ended his sleeves being opened, already showing a breakfast to me. Fuck, it made me hungry for more! Ako nga rin pala ang nagtanggal ng mga butones niya, silly me.
Tinignan niya rin kung saan nakahawak ang kamay ko. "I'm removing it."
"Huh, bakit naman? Looks cool." Nakaukit sa bandang gitna ay isang pisces zodiac sign habang nakapaikot ng kaunti ang isang scorpion dito. Nagsasalubong din ang mga alon sa dalawang ito. "What are these?" I asked. Looking at it together with his abs made him even more hotter.
"Scorpion for my sign. The waves to represent the water signs. And the pisces... That's..." Lumunok ito. "That's for my ex. She's a, uhm, pisces."
"Oh... Pangit pala ng tattoo mo," asar ko. Hindi lang pala ako ang tanga rito sa'ming dalawa. Pero kung ikukumpara, mas malala ang kanya. Pinatato ba naman... Hinahaplos pa rin ng kamay ko ang kanyang tagiliran kung saan iyon nakaukit. Binabawi ko na pala, it doesn't look cool. It looks stupid. But him telling me about it gave us a little topic to talk about. Nanatali akong nasa ibabaw niya nang simulan kong magtanong-tanong.
"I got cheated on, too," he plainly said. Napaawang naman ang labi ko ro'n, hindi inaasahan ang malalaman. Ang isang Joaquin De Vera, niloko? Parang ang imposibleng mangyari! I mean, artista na 'yan, oh! At sa itsura niyang 'yan, mas mukha siyang manloloko. First impression ka nga sa kanya ay fuckboy!
"Talaga?! Kanino? Sa best friend din?" tanong ko ulit. Saka ako umalis sa ibabaw niya at umayos ng upo sa kanyang tabi.
Natawa siya at ginulo ang buhok ko. "No, silly. With an actor. Ka-loveteam niya sa isang palabas. We don't have any connections and I guess that's better. Mainam nang hindi malapit sa'kin dahil baka anong magawa ko," paliwanag niya.
"Minahal mo siya?" I asked again in a very curious tone. Tumango naman siya bilang sagot. "We'd been together for years but I'm glad I'm already a graduate from the pain she caused me." He shrugged.
"Wow, yabang. Hm, you got cheated on, too..." I started playing with his hair. And there, a damn fucking crazy thing entered my mind. "Gusto mo bang gumanti?" Tumigil ako sa paglalaro ng buhok niya at inilapit ang mukha sa kanya.
"Not a fan of revenge." He laughed a little.
"Ako, oo. You told me you'll be at my company when I need one. Well, I need one right now."
"You're the boss, then. What do you want to do?"
"Hmm..." I looked up for a second. "We can fake date to make our exes jealous."
