Chapter 15
I've spent my forthnight with Nixus. We enjoyed every moments that we had during our free time after work hours. Hindi ko inisip ang mga bagay-bagay at hinayaan ko ang aking sarili na sumaya kasama siya.
“Just wait there Nix,” natatawang anas ko nang maramdaman ang kanyang yakap sa aking baywang. I put the Spiderweb Brownie Tart on the plate for his snack.
He's been busy polishing his blueprint for the Grandiola Commercial Retail project. At halos wala na siyang pahinga kaya’t pinuntahan ko siya rito sa barn niya.
Kumahol si Hunter bilang pagsang-ayon sa aking sinabi. Ang amo niya naman ay hindi sumagot at humalik lang sa aking balikat. I was wearing my comfy sleeveless moss green cropped top partnered with denim shorts. Nakalitaw ang aking tiyan at pagdating ko rito kanina ay agad niya itong pinuna.
“Even Hunter understand and he's not clingy,” tukso ko muli sa kanya. Kinuha ko rin ang braso niyang parang ahas kong makapalibot sa aking baywang.
“Tsk, I'm not clingy. Hindi mo kasi ako kinakausap tapos dito ka lang sa brownies na niluluto mo nakatingin,” he reasoned out more like complaining.
I hide my giggles still turning my back at him. Pumunta ako sa study table niya dala-dala ang brownies at smoothie.
“I know you're still upset about the photos that she'd sent me. Moonlight, as I've said, it's not what you think it is. Sweet was with my sister cos’ she's treating her. It doesn't mean something like–”
Nilingon ko siya at malapad na nginitian. As usual, his brows knitted at my action as his jaw hardened. He always does this mannerism everytime he saw my opposite reactions about matters.
“Stop explaining Nix, I know the situation I'm in right now. Literally, I was the photobomber, right?”
“Souhai–” Iminuwestra ko ang aking kamay para tumigil siya sa pagsalita.
“Truth slaps me hard,” pagak akong tumawa. “She likes Dulce for you. Even your other cousins, yesterday, I've heard them talking about you and Figueroa were so close back then.” Umupo ako sa single sofa bed niya. Hunter followed and lie down beside my feet. Hinaplos ko ang kanyang ulo kaya’t mas lalong napapikit ito. Napahagikgik ako.
“Ang cute mo talaga baby Hunter..” The dog softly whine at me. It looks like he hated being called baby.
“Fuck! Stop it Wel, everything you heard didn't make sense. Yes, were friends and that's it. Nothing more,” sabi nito at umupo sa tabi ko. He holds may hand. Hindi ko siya binalingan. Patuloy lang ako sa pag-pat sa ulo ng aso niya.
Alam kong naiinis na siya dahil sa marahas na pagbuga niya ng hangin. “Damn, Hunter can you please get out! Her attention was for me only,” bulyaw nito sa aso at mukhang naintindihan iyon ni Hunter kaya lumabas itong nakatungo ang ulo.
Binalingan ko siya at pinandilatan ng mata. “You scared him! Tsk, don't do it again Nix.” Akma pa sana akong tatayo pero hinatak niya ang aking kaliwang braso pabalik para umupo sa kandungan niya. Now, I looked like a mere helpless woman caged within his arms.
“What? Kukunin ko lang yung brownies mo. Hindi na yon masarap pag di mainit,”
He continued to stare at me like there's no tomorrow. “You, avoiding me was real tough. I can't take it Wel. It makes me feel hurt and lonely. Can you please spare me some of your attention when we're together? Cos’ sometimes I felt that you're slowly drifting away from me.”
