Deserving
It's been 2 months since I came here in Isla del Tesoro. Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko matanggap na magkakagusto ako sa isang tao.
Like? Hello? Sa kaniya pa? Out of all the boys I could possibly meet here... I sighed.
I despised this island at first! But now... Damn it!
Magmula nang malaman ni Xenon ang totoo... Palagi na niya akong inaasar. He never shuts up about me liking him back. It's been a day. Think about how annoying that is? Isang araw pa lang!
"Ang lakas ng charms ko, ano?"
Umiling ako. "Baka ginayuma mo lang ako!"
"How could you say that, Flaire? Ang gwapo-gwapo ko oh. And now I'll be courting you. Can I call your cousin and Lolo?"
My forehead creased at what he said. "Kapag nalaman ni Ruce na hinalikan mo ako... You do know that he love guns, right?"
Nandito kaming dalawa ngayon sa may beachside ng mansyon. Iyong parte na may rock stairs paakyat ng mansyon.
I sat on the stairs as I stared at the sea. Si Xenon, nakaupo sa gilid ko. Meron namang upuan sa buhangin pero mas trip namin dito.
Nang lingunin ko siya ay tila ba naubos lahat ng dugo niya sa katawan. He really looked so pale na muntik na akong magpanic kung hindi siya umimik.
"Wait... Is he... Gonna kill me?"
"Baka?"
"Baka??!" Gulat niyang sabi. "Hindi ka sigurado???"
"Sino ba naman kasi ang nagsabing halikan mo ako?"
"Wala! Damn... Dapat ba nagpaalam muna ako? Paano kung hindi niya ako payagan sa 'yo? Hindi pwede..." He was doubting himself already.
I stared at him for a while before I burst out laughing. Kunot noo niya akong tiningnan.
"Bakit mo ako tinatawanan?" He looked so betrayed.
Patuloy ko siya inasar. "Mataas ang standards ko sa lalaki, Xenon. I will never settle for less."
Umawang ang labi niya. "May pinapahiwatig ka ba sa akin? Hindi ba ako sapat? Kapalit-palit ba ako? Hindi ba ako abot sa standards mo?" Ngumuso siya.
Pabiro kong inabot ang pisngi niya at kinurot. He was frowning but he didn't intervene. "Sa ating dalawa, mas madrama ka pa... Huh?"
He puffed his cheeks. Natawa ako. "Inaaway mo na naman ako, Flaire... Porket ikaw lang ang standards ko..."
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. I was teasing him with my gaze. "Ang masasabi ko lang... Good luck."
"Bakit naman?!"
"Ruce and my Lolo? Kung kay Lolo... medyo okay pa. Pero kay Ruce?" I gave out an evil laugh. "You could kiss his gun goodbye."
"Seryoso ba talaga? Mukha namang mabait 'yung pinsan mo nung una kong nakita?"
"Mabait?" Pagak akong natawa. "Sa pagitan namin ni Ruce... mas mabait siya-"
"Halata nga-" He was nodding like it was a fact kaya binatukan ko siya. Ngumuso siya ulit.
"Mas mabait man si Ruce... Pero mas nakakatakot siya." I said that made him stiffened again. I chuckled.
"Can I call him now?"
"Ha? Bakit? I thought you were scared."
He gazed around before sighing. "Don't you think na mas mabuting harapin ko na agad ang takot ko? Come on, give me his... Number..."
