"LET'S GET married," he blurted out, as if he was simply inviting me to dinner.
Napatigil ako sa pagpulot nang mga damit kong nagkalat sa sahig. I looked at him in disbelief.
"What?" My forehead creased.
He just blurted out those words as if getting married is just playing games.
"I said, let's get married," pag-ulit niya.
I laughed at him dahil akala ko isa 'to sa mga pagbibiro niya, but then I stopped when I saw the serious look on his face.
"Please tell me you're joking,"
"I am not—"
"What are you saying, Cash?! Are you crazy?!" sigaw ko sakaniya dahil sigurado akong hindi nga siya nagbibiro sa sinasabi niya. Nanlaki 'yung mga mata ko habang nakatingin sa seryoso niyang mukha. Does he think getting married is a joke? I scoffed in annoyance.
We fuck. Yes, all the time! However, we are not even in a relationship.
For Pete's sake, we don't even have a label! We only talk to each other when we're both horny.
There is no commitment.
There are no strings attached, just pure sex...
That's our relationship, or I'm not sure if it can even be called a relationship. When we want sex or a fuck buddy, it's more like a booty call... Actually, it's more like a business with him than a relationship.
I scoffed, "Is this about your father again?" I asked him while I resumed getting dressed, habang siya nakahiga pa rin sa kama niya nang hubo't hubad.
Alam kong I'm not following the rules that we've set between us, but we're talking about marriage here, and I can't just get married. Lalo na sakaniya na alam kong ginagawa lang niya 'to para makaganti sa tatay niya.
He climbed out of the bed and stood in front of me. Naked. I stared at his Greek-like body and perfectly sculptured face. Yup, he is definitely smoking hot. He has the perfect face and is the best in bed, but hell no... Hindi naman ako ganon kababaw para lang pumayag ikasal sakaniya dahil lang sa katawan at mukha niya.
Hindi ako papayag ikasal sa taong alam kong hindi naman ako kayang mahalin pabalik. He was the one who told me that he would never fall in love again. So that's the risk I'm not going to take.
I broke my heart to three different guys, and I don't have any plans on making him the fourth guy who'll break my heart into pieces.
He runs his hand through his hair frustratedly. Then he took a deep breath before staring back at me.
"Please, Serenity? Just help me with this one..." he begged, yet I've never seen him begging to anyone, but he is begging me right now. Pero kahit gaano pa siyang magmakaawa sa'kin, hindi ako papayag.
