Chapter 37

bluethecat: I have an important question

domiller: shoot

bluethecat: swear to me first that you won't tell this to anybody

domiller: okay i swear

bluethecat: when Austin Archangel and I kiss, I feel things. And after I researched, I realized that that's called being horny. And I don't want to have sex yet. It's not like I want to get married first before I want to have sex. I just want to graduate first. What do I do?

I stared at the screen. Tatlong beses na nagkaroon ng typing si Dominic, pero tatlong beses din iyon na natigil. I patiently stared at the screen, waiting for his reply. I was about to ask Ate Gina about this, but I read in a forum that I should ask a peer about this. And Ate Gina is more like a second-mother to me than a peer. Si Dominic ang best friend ko kaya dapat siya ang tanungin ko. And he's much more experienced.

Akala ko ay magrereply si Dominic kaya lang ay biglang nagkaroon siya ng video chat sa Instagram. Normally, I would be rejecting this call, but this was a pressing issue. Magkikita kami ni Austin Archangel in 3 hours. I did not want to have sex in a private theater.

Normally, I would trust myself.

But lately, I was beginning to doubt myself.

It went from kissing to full on make out session.

It's definitely weird how we quickly jump from one thing to another. Parang nung una lang ay hindi namin alam ang ginagawa namin... Perhaps it's true that procreation is a man's natural instinct.

"I—" sabi ni Dominic at saka napa-tigil. He was wearing a black headband na mayroong Nike na design. Naka-suot din siya ng black na jersey shirt. Mukhang naglalaro siya ng basketball. "What?" muling sabi niya.

"How do I stop myself from having sex?"

His lips parted and his eyes widened. Napa-suklay siya sa buhok gamit iyong kaliwang kamay habang hawak pa rin ng kanang kamay niya iyong cellphone niya.

"Just... don't?" sagot niya.

"I know, but I don't trust myself."

"Wait... the last time, you don't even know how kissing works! You had me answer your questionnaires. And now you're telling me you're about to have sex?"

I nodded. "I know," I replied, agreeing. But what could I do? Whenever Austin Archangel and I would kiss, nalilimutan ko kung ano ang nangyayari. Wala pa kaming natatapos sa mga pinapanood namin dahil iisa lang ang kinakabagsakan namin. I did not trust myself around him kapag madilim at kaming dalawa lang ang tao. I thought I would have more restraint, but clearly, I was in the wrong. I overestimated myself.

"How do I say no without offending him?"

"If he gets offended, then there's something wrong with him," Dominic replied. "Look, Karaminah, I know we're best friends, but you shouldn't discuss this with me—this is between you and Austin. Just tell this to Austin and discuss this with him. I'm sure he'll be fine and he won't be offended."

I nodded. "Okay."

"Good," he said. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Bakit naman hindi?"

"He's leaving tomorrow, right?" I nodded. "And you're fine?"

"Why won't I be fine?" I asked. He's leaving for his career as a professional basketball player. What other choice did he have?
