GUSTO nang ilubog ni Sakki ang sarili dahil sa kabalastugan na sinabi ni Alistair. Pagkatapos magbayad ni Alistair nauna na siyang naglakad palabas ng store sa lalaki, pero kahit nagmamadali na siya sa paglalakad naabutan parin siya ni Ali. Nakailang hakbang lang ang lalaki nasa tabi na agad niya ito.
"Shit!" she cursed loudly when she accidentally tripped.
A masculine arm wrapped around her waist, catching her body so she won't kiss the floor. Sakki gulped hard, god! This is so embarrassing!
"Careful." Alistair said, his voice changed, it became raspy. Her eyes widened when she realized their situation, ang matipunong braso ni Ali, dinadama na ang hindi kalakihan niyang dibdib. Umayos siya ng tayo, kaya binitawan na din siya ni Alistair. She heard him cleared his throat and shifted his gazed. "I'm walking you home. I'm sorry for saying such things. It was just a joke for me, but if I offended you and made you feel uncomfortable... ahm.."
HINDI makapaniwala si Alistair sa mga lumalabas na salita sa bibig niya! And he doesn't understand himself too! Damn, he's confused as hell. Hindi siya mapakali sa ideya na baka na offend niya ang kasamang babae sa biro niya kanina.
When did he start caring for other people's feelings?
"It's okay... Nahiya lang ako kanina kasi pinagtitinginan nila ako." Sakki cut him off. Nakahinga ng maluwag si Alistair. He rolled his tongue over his dry lips.
"That's because you are too pretty. Lalo na kapag namumula ang pisngi mo." the side of his lips rosed up, when he saw her blushing again. Her skin is like a sheet of paper.
"Bolero. Kaya ka siguro maraming nahahalikan na babae sa bar no?" she asked. He wanted to conclude that she's jealous, pero hindi naman niya 'yon makita sa dalaga. He still have a long way to cooed her.
"Nope, I don't need to open my mouth just to kissed a woman. Sila mismo ang humahalik sa akin." he said confidently and smirked. He saw how Sakki raised her eyebrows and look at him with disbelief.
"Yeah, whatever. Umuwi ka na din, it's already late and I think my brother is already home." Alistair looked up when Sakki pointed the window upstairs. He stood up straight, iniabot sa dalaga ang tote bag nito na siya ang nagdala. Yes, he's ass is being a freaking gentleman.
"Good night, see you at work." he raised his hand to reach her head so he can mess her hair. He chuckled sexily when Sakki stilled. Hindi na niya hinayaan ang dalaga na makasagot. He turned his back and walk towards his bar, he's not going home tonight.
PINANOOD lang ni Sakki na makalayo ang bulto ni Alistair, hindi niya pa lubusang kilala ang lalaki pero kung magbabase siya sa unang beses na pagkikita nilang dalawa. He's a bit aggressive. He pulled and cornered her inside the dressing room for Pete's sake! Then, he suddenly act like that? Wala sa sariling napahawak sa ulo niya si Sakki.
"Ginulo lang ang buhok mo, nawala ka na sa sarili mo. Anata ga mite..."
you look... winawagayway pa ng kapatid niya ang kamay sa mukha nito.
"Ano?" nanghahamon na tanong niya sa kapatid na may ngisi sa labi. Clearly enjoying what he sees.
"Stupid?" patanong na sagot ni Takki sa kanya bago siya nito tinalikuran at nauna nang pumasok sa loob ng bahay. "May Onigiri sa lamesa, ginawa ni Lola kanina!" she heard Takki shouted.
"Oi!" she shouted back. Pumasok na siya sa loob ng bahay at tinakbo ang pagitan nilang dalawa ni Takki. She gave his brother a not so forceful smack in his head. "That's for calling your older sister a stupid! Idiot!" she hissed.
Nilapag niya ang tote bag sa lamesa at kinuha ang manga na binili niya kanina, na si Alistair ang nag bayad, but she'll pay for this eventually. Nakangisi niyang ipinukpok sa ulo ni Takki ang hawak niyang makapal na manga.
