I THOUGHT

Chapter 19

"Masakit paba?" Tanong ko sa kanya pero iniwas lang niya yung kamay na hahawakan ko sana.

Problema nitong pusa nato?

Di nalang din ako nangulit. Nasa condo na kami ngayon. Its already 7pm, at gaya nang dati pinatulog ko muna si Chu bago kami umalis.

Rosie also called earlier na di na siya makakapunta dito kasi sobrang pagod naraw siya.

Came in my senses when Jennie stood. I look at her confuse pero agad rin akong napasimangot nung muntikan niya nang hatakin yung bandage na nilagay ko sa kamay niya.

"Ano ba! Dudugo yan eh. Wala akong kit dito." Reklamo ko pero umiwas lang siya.

Hays! Apaka bipolar kung ganun.

"Wag mo muna kunin yan kung ayaw mong dudugo yan ulit. Ako na magtatangal niyan bukas." Sabi ko saka binuksan ang TV.

Di pa naman ako antok eh.

"Kunin ko na to. Makati eh. Baka di lang ako makatulog saka kaya ko na to. I'm big enough for this." I look at her pero umiwas lang siya nang tingin.

I greeted my teeth. Di ko kasi alam bat niya ginagawa to.

"Bahala ka." Sabi ko saka pinatay ang TV.
Nawala yung gana kong mag stay dito sa sala.

"I'll go first." I said saka tinalikuran na siya.
I locked the door, saka hinubad lahat nang damit maliban sa sports bra and boxer shorts ko.

If you're still not aware.

I'm an intersex. I do have swords between my thigh, and to be honest with you? I'm still a virgin.

I can't just use this to anyone else.

Anyway, I quickly get my towel, then went inside the bathroom.

I remove all my remaining clothes, then turned on the shower, putting it to a warm level.

Napapikit nalang ako nang dumampi sakin yung mainit na tubig.

While I was closing my eyes, some stuffs that happened earlier went back in my mind.

Flashback

"Uhm, Lis?" I look at Jennie when she called.

"Chu's pretty right?" She added, but some reaction on her face can't hide from my sight.

She's teasing me.

"Yeah? Why?" I asked back.

"I was just wondering if there's a possibility that you will have a crush on her." She said not to loud.

I pretended to be shook, but then mentally I'm already witnessing every emotions in her eyes.

Hm. Let's tease each other then.

"I don't have crush on her, cause I like her already." I said.

I knew I won when I saw her teasing reaction turned into a disappointed one.

End of Flashback

I chuckle.

To be honest? These people gave me random emotions. Parang gusto nilang pumasok sa buhay ko, but I'm still not expecting too much from them, specially Jennie.

After a month she'll be back in New Zealand, and I don't know what's gonna happen before that, even after.

Jisoo, and Rosie as well.

I just took a heave then wash my body with a soap, then shampoo on my hair. I then rinse it after minutes.

Parang gusto ko kasing magpahangin na muna sa balcony. Wala naman akong pasok bukas, maybe a soju can help.
