Scandalous Affair: Atlas Mate

O L I V I A   V A L E Z

"What are we going to do here?"

I asked as I looked around his room. I acted like it was my first time going inside here even though I was here days ago—specifically under his bed. I suddenly remembered what I saw that day, making me looked at his pelvis. Since I was tailing him, instead of seeing his front, I saw his amazing ass. It was so plum like a stress ball you want to squeeze. O, no, Olivia. We aren't going in there. Remember, that witch pissed you off. Stop looking and thinking about Atlas's ass. 

I quickly diverted my eyes to another thing. That was so perverted of me. I'm not like this! Ever since I watched that porn with Prim, unholy things kept on bothering my mind. 

Atlas turned his head towards me, "I'd like you to see this and tell me your opinion." then he smiled at me—a genuine one.

I questionably looked at him, but before I have the chance to ask my question, his eyes went to the door I closed a while ago. He walked towards it and opened it. When he turned to me, he has this satisfied smile on his lips.

I can't help but ask, "What?"

"Uh... It's not appropriate to close the door," he said nonchalantly.

My mind was slowly processing what he had said. I looked at the widely opened door and back to him. His back was facing me again, and he kept on searching into his things. I looked again at the door, trying to think hard. Is it not appropriate? How? I can't think of a reason why it's inappropriate. And then, like a bullet, it came to my mind. Was it because two people alone in a room is inappropriate? OMG, that does mean he saw me as a woman and not a little girl like what he always calls me? 

Agad na namula ang aking pisngi sa naisip. Gosh, I need to stop thinking about that. I need to stop blushing, or he'll find me a creep. And let's not forget that he called me by my name a while ago! That was something, right? Simula nang dumating siya rito ay never niya akong tinawag sa pangalan ko. Okay, I was achieving something today. Pambawi ba ito sa nakita ko kanina? Wait, so what if he called me by my name? He should call me like that anyway, and not little girl. Also, what am I talking about achieving something? Anong something-something, Olivia? He should see you as a woman! You are a year behind from being an adult. 

Naputol ang mga iniisip ko nang sa wakas ay lumingon na siya sa akin. He got this big happy smile while he was holding a laptop with a flash drive inserted at its side. My mouth hangs slightly as awe rush through my veins. My hand automatically reached for the screen. I'm now seeing his floor plan. His work was excellent. I'm not familiar with architecture designs and pieces, but I can confidently say that Atlas Mate's work was one of a kind.

"Stop with that reaction, Little girl. I'm getting flattered here." he chuckled slightly and scratched his nape.

So where back at Little girl again? And his lice was still in his head? But, wait! Did he just say he was fluttered? Sa tagal na niya sa industry na ito na flufluttered pa siya? No way! Impossible na ako lang ang naka-appreciate ng gawa niya. Ang ganitong mga gawa ay talaga world-class. 

"But it's so marvelous."

He chuckled again, "Kid's reaction is really pure."

"What?! I'm not a kid, and I was just honest!" pag-aapila ko sa kaniyang sinabi.

"Come, sit here."

Iginaya niya ako sa upuang kaniyang hinala sa kaniyang work table. May nakalagay rin doong drafting board na may unfinished design. Bahagya akong nabigla at napaatras nang ibaba niya ang laptop sa tapat ko. Ang lapit kaya ng mukha niya sa akin! And damn this old man! Talaga bang nasa thirties na siya? E, bakit ganito kagwapo ang side view niya? No, hindi lang sde view niya ang ganiyang kagwapo, pati na rin ang front and back view niya.
