#WUM14
Wala akong maayos na pahinga kagabi dahil sa inis at iba pang nararamdaman, I really hate what I heard from his friend but thinking about it might be possible—that he just likes me because I'm good looking or I have a pair of unique green eyes and ginger hair.
Hindi imposible iyon dahil bata pa si Ajax, kadalasan naman sa mga binata ngayon ay ganoon ang tinitingnan sa babae. Kahit nga hindi binata.
I shook my head while squatting in front of Char, I was caressing her chin as I slipped out a sigh.
I didn't receive a text from him this morning. He must be embarrassed to do so. As he should, how dare he confess jealousy in a drunk state?! He was so out of his small brain!
I scoffed remembering Hesperus' side comments, he was annoying. Actually, lahat silang naroon sa background.
My cellphone chimed.
Jacques:
Good morning, mermaid.
I simply replied a greet back, tumayo ako at nagyosi sa barandilya habang si Char ay panay ang kiskis ng katawan niya sa paanan ko.
"Are you hungry or what?" I looked down at her, holding my cigarette near my cheek.
She meowed twice while looking with her green eyes, they were lighter than mine and her black pupils were smaller in daylight. Mas cute kapag gabi kasi malaki iyon.
"What? You are, hmm?" I asked.
She meowed once this time. I don't get it; how could Ajax understand her actions? Gutom ba siya? I thought two meows was oo, how about one? 'Tsaka kung gutom siya, bakit hindi niya kinakain iyong nilagay ko sa bowl niya?
I huffed. "This is crazy." I sucked the filter of my cigarette again and puffed out, yumuko ako at marahang tinapat ang daliri ko sa kanyang ilong pero inamoy niya lang iyon at umalis.
Kumurap ako at inamoy ang kamay ko, it doesn't smell bad. Why does she look disgusted?
Sinundan ko siya ng tingin at tinawag. "Meow—"
Napaubo ako nang makita ang pares ng binti kung saan siya lumapit, si Ajax iyon kahit hindi ko angatan ng tingin. Tahimik niyang inangat si Char, uminit ang pisngi ko nang magtama ang tingin namin pagyuko niya.
He looks like he just woke up with that messy hair and puffy eyes from sleeping.
"Kukunin ko na 'to," malamig na aniya.
Napatuwid ako at tiningnan siya, hindi ako nakabawi agad sa tono at sinabi niya dahil nakatingin siya at seryoso ang ekspresyon. I expected an annoying comeback, though. Since when did I feel this way around him?
I pulled myself back and raised my brow at him.
"Where are you gonna take her and why?"
Umismid siya. "Sa bahay para mapakain nang maayos."
"Aren't you supposed to bring her food here?"
That was what he promised!
His brows shot up, he chuckled with a tone of mockery.
"Kaya nga iuuwi ko sa amin, nakakapagod umakyat-baba rito."
Nakakapagod umakyat-baba? Halos ilang buwan na niya iyong ginagawa, ngayon lang siya napagod?
"No," I said, puffing on the cigarette as I looked at him.
He seemed like he hates to be here, his eyes were shadowed by something. All I know is he doesn't wanna be here, he only wants to take Char.
