"Stay there." he commanded.

Umahon ako sa pagkakasandal ko sa sasakyan niya. He placed me in his car like I belong here. Kulang na lang ay itali niya sa akin ang seat belt sa pag-aalalang tumalon ako palabas.

"No. Si Cassandra.." I was panicking while he's starting the engine. "My car, Rashid! My purse is on our couch! Oh my god, my Hermes!"

"I will get back your car. You're drunk and you caused a huge mess. How can you think about your purse right now?"

"It's not just a purse! It's Hermes!" nanlaki ang mata ko.

"And it's just a purse."

"You don't understand!" I shouted.

His lips formed in grim line and he clenched his jaw.

I'm not that worried about Cassandra because she knows what she is doing when drunk. She's always like that. Pero ang inaalala ko, ang sasakyan ko at ang gamit ko. Gosh, I spent my ramps for that Hermes!

We arrived the house. I was already half asleep. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatayo na siya sa gilid ng sasakyan niya. Siniksik ko ang ulo ko sa gilid at pinikit ang mata. I frowned.

I heard him curse.

I groaned when he removed my seatbelt harshly and pulled me to carry. He carried me without spending too much effort. Kumapit ako sa balikat niya. My half closed eyes stared at him.

"I can walk.."

"Shut up, Gianna. You can't even look at me properly."

"You want me to stare at you? Fine. Do you want it closer?" lumapit ako. "Like this?"

"Gianna.." he was struggling opening the door.

I smiled and caress his face. Umigting ang panga niya habang dinudungaw ang doorknob.

"This?" I almost kissed his face.

He quickly opened the door. Pagkabukas ay halos ihagis ako sa upuan. Bumagsak ako sa sofa habang nakapikit na tumatawa. I looked up at him and saw him looking down at me with his furrowed eyes.

Nakapaymewang habang hinihingal. I messed up his white polo shirt.

"I don't like what you said a while ago." malamig na sabi niya habang nakatingin diretso sa akin.

Ngumuso ako. "You don't want me to stare at you?"

"Not that."

"Oh!" I giggled. "The one I said I fucked?"

"Don't even say that." he warned.

"What? It's true. You fucked me many times before."

Pumikit siya ng mariin at saglit yumuko. "Gianna, you're a public figure. You shouldn't say those things loudly, and in public."

"Bla, bla, bla.." I rolled my eyes. "I'm tired of that. Can't I have a normal life? Can't I defend myself in public? What do I have to do? Pretend to be a good girl with heavenly habits for other people? Dapat tahimik ako sa mga bato ng tao sa akin kahit minsan sobra na?"

He slowly squatted in front of me. Hinawakan niya ang boots ko. I didn't react because I was moved by what I said.

Ngumuso ako. "I can't, Rashid. I am a role model for others and what am I going to teach them? Pretend to be someone else for others? Shut their mouth even if it's already harassment? No, of course not!"
