Scent
Hinintay kong matapos si Silas sa pagluluto ng dinner namin. Nakasuot na sya ng puting T-shirt ngayon. Umakyat sya kanina sa kwarto nya para magsuot ng damit at iniwan saglit ang niluluto.
He asked me to take a seat on the high chair at the kitchen island when he's done preparing the food. It's a chicken dish, with some teriyaki sauce, beans and brocolli. Niglayan nya ng kanin ang plato ko, tapos iyong kanya naman ang nilagyan nya. I'm just watching his every move.
Silas is pouring water on my glass when he noticed my stares at him. Napatingin sya sa akin at napangiti.
"Do you want to say something?"
Hindi ko sya sinagot at nakipagtitigan lang sakanya. Napairap ako ng mas lalong lumaki ang ngisi nya. Nagsimula nalang din akong kumain.
This brute! He knew what's on my mind. Kaya mas lalo nya akong inaasar.
"I think you're right, Shan..."
Nasa kalahati ko na ang pagkain ko nang magsalita si Silas. I looked at him. He's already looking at me.
"About what?" Sambit ko.
"About getting married when we still don't know each other that much..." Aniya.
Bumalik na ako sa pagkain at hinayaan lang syang nakatingin sa akin. Damn. Why is he a good cook, too?
"We should start from scratch and stop having sex for the meantime..."
Napahinto ako sa pagkain at agresibong napatingin sakanya.
"Why?"
I shifted on my seat when I realized what I just said. Pareho kaming nagulat sa naging reaksyon ko.
Why the hell did I asked, 'Why?' WHY, SHANNON? Yung pagka-WHY ko pa parang iyon lang ang habol ko sakanya, kahit wala naman talaga akong habol sakanya na kahit ano. This is because of my freaking werewolf genes. Damnit.
Silas stared at me for awhile, then he bursts into laughter.
Kaagad akong nagiwas ng tingin. "I didn't mean anything with that, Silas... I'm just asking...why."
Tawa parin sya ng tawa. Inirapan ko nalang sya at tinapos na ang pagkain.
"Matutulog na ako," sambit ko at dinala na ang plato sa lababo.
Silas finally stopped laughing. Hinawakan nya ang palapulsuhan ko para pigilan akong umalis.
"Wait, Shan... Let's talk first."
Tinignan ko ng masama ang kamay nyang nakahawak sa akin. He smiled when he looked at it too. Then, he held my hand properly. He even intertwined our fingers.
"Would you listen to me first? Hmm..."
"What do you want to say kasi... Just go straight to the point." I mumbled.
"Excuse me," he chuckled. "You're the one who interrupted me with your cute reaction, miss."
I clicked my tongue. "Ano ba kasi 'yon?"
