Kabanata 15 (First Version with Major Chapter Revisions)

"Hala, señoritang-señorita ang get up natin diyan, ah! Saan lakad?" I stopped twisting my slightly curly hair and glanced at Solomon walking beside me.

Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay. Anong Señoritang get up? I wore my prettiest dress today because I'm meeting his Nanay!

"Oh, nakairap na naman ang anghel," he even noticed, chuckling as he placed his hand on my waist.

Ngumuso ako at tinatamad na magsalita kaya 'di ko na pinatulan. Gutom ako, tamad akong magsalita.

"Alam mo ang ganda mo sana pero suplada ka," he suddenly uttered and I looked at him, annoyed now.

"Alam mo pangit ka na, madaldal ka pa," sabat ko at unti-unti, nakita ko ang pagtigil niya at pag-awang ng labi sa akin.

"Pagkatapos mo 'kong ayaing magpakasal sasabihan mo 'kong pangit?" he looked at me dramatically. I tried maintaining my cold and poker face but the dramatic look on his face made me laugh.

"You idiot," tinapik ko na ang pisngi niya, nagbigay ng saglit na halik at humawak din sa baywang niya. "Napakakulit mo, Solomon. H'wag ka na maingay, nagugutom na 'ko."

He touched the small of my waist more before pulling me closer to his body. Kumapit ako sa shirt niya sa may bandang baywang bago siya nilingon.

"You think your Nanay would like me?" I asked after a while.

"Oo, bakit naman hindi?" he glanced my way and gently pulled my hand and grasped my fingers until it was intertwined with his.

"Nothing, I was just worried," bulong ko at sumulyap sa suot.

It was a silver spaghetti strap top and a white shirt underneath. Naka-maong na palda at sandals, ang buhok ay medyo kinulot para presentable. I even put on some light make up to look pretty.

"Bakit ka mag-aalala?" he chuckled, "ayos lang 'yan, hindi naman mapili si Nanay. Kahit naman 'di ka na mag-ayos, maganda ka pa rin. H'wag ka nga lang magsungit."

"Of course, I'm gonna doll up!" I snapped, "alangang magpakita ako sa Nanay mo na mukha akong palaboy?"

"Palaboy, ikaw?" humalakhak siya, "tss, kahit pagsuotin ka pa nga ng sako ang ganda-ganda pa rin," he announced then stared at me intently.

Napatitig din ako sa kanya. I wanted to be serious but his words are something else I felt my cheeks heated up entirely with his comment.

"Yieee, namumula," he noticed, he even poked my cheek and I looked away. I bit my lower lip and cleared my throat.

"Parang gago," bulong ko pa, napapatawa na kinikilig.

Hell, why am I even acting like a kid anyway? What now?

May bad spirit ata talagang kampon 'tong si Alejo.

Lumayo ako sabay halukay sa bag ko, "saan na ba 'yong alcohol ko," bulong-bulong ko pa at nakisilip din siya.

"Para saan?"

I found my alcohol and lifted it in the air, "pang-alis ng engkanto," sabat ko sabay spray sa kanya nito at ngisi.

Talking to Sol is fun and refreshing. He's one of a kind. I don't like attachment, kaya nga kahit boyfriend ko noon si James ay may distansya ako. I don't bare my soul to someone and give them the chance to get through me and hurt me like what happened before. I don't trust someone that deep anymore, but with Sol... ewan, naeengkanto na nga ata ako.
