The Politician's Biggest Mistake (Flame Series #1)

22

"If I were a caterpillar, would you still court me, Ian?" I asked him while playing with his chest.

He chuckled before planting soft kisses on my forehead. We just finished doing you know and now watching "The Nun".

"What gave you the idea to ask me that?" He chuckled.

I pouted before pinching his tits. Sasagot lang naman siya, bakit 'di na lang sagutin?

"Ouch, Miss Ma'am!" Tinanggal niya ang pagkakayakap sa 'kin at lumayo ng bahagya. "Bakit ka nangungurot?"

"I am asking you nga, e!" I irritatedly shouted. "Sagot na!"

"Bakit mo muna tinatanong 'yan?" nanlalaki ang mga matang tanong niya sa 'kin habang nakangisi. "Social media?"

"No," I lied. "Gusto ko lang naman malaman, e."

Actually, nakita ko talaga 'yon kanina while scrolling through my facebook. P-in-ost 'yon nung isang sikat na page na ang name ay "Retweets". Ang daming nag-mention ng mga suitors and lovers nila kaya naisipan kong i-ask kay Ian.

"No," he answered before showing a small smile which stabbed my chest.

Anong... Anong "no", Acoza?!

"What's with the face? I'll explain muna, okay?" aniya bago tumawa. "Una sa lahat, if you're a caterpillar, paano ko malalaman na ikaw 'yon, Alena? Ang mga caterpillars ay magkakamukha. Bakit, ako ba? If I were a worm, would you let me court you?"

"No," I answered agad. "I mean, worm ka. Kadiri 'yon."

"Oh, 'kita mo na? Bakit? Ang worms at caterpillars, tinatapakan ko lang, Alena."

Nairita ako bigla! Ang sarap niya biglang awayin!

"So, you're telling me that if I were a caterpillar, tatapakan mo lang ako? How dare you?! Mukha bang katapak-tapak ang mukha ko, Ian?!"

"H-hey, calm down! Wala akong sinabing ganiyan!"

Iritang kinurot kong muli ang tits niya bago tumayo para kunin ang saplot kong nasa sahig. Tumatawa siya habang nakatayo ako sa kama at hinampas ang puwet ko kaya tinapakan ko ang paa niya. Ang pagtawa niya ay napalitan ng sigaw ngunit 'di ako ro'n nakuntento. Tinapakan ko ulit ang paa niya sa galit bago tumalon pababa ng kama niya.

"Shit, ang sakit!" he shouted in pain.

I flipped my hair before smirking. Pinulot ko ang damit kong nasa sahig bago nagsimulang magbihis.

"If you were a caterpillar, I will love you endlessly, Alena!" he shouted before throwing a pillow at me. "Kung 'yan ang gusto mong marinig, sana nagsabi ka!"

"You fucking asshole!" I fired nang tuluyan ko nang natapos ang pagbibihis. "Sana pala, 'di na lang kita sinagot! Wala kang kuwenta!"

The moment he asked me if he can court me was also the moment I answered yes to him. Alam kong hindi siya pang-dalagang Pilipina pero, so what? I am half russian kaya!

"What? Don't tell me that you're regretting now? Sorry to tell you, Miss Ma'am, but you can't back-out," seryosong aniya. "Isa pa, totoo naman ang sinasabi ko, ah? Sana nagsabi ka na may ine-expect ka pala na sagot!"

"Ang bobo mo!" I shouted as my eyes started to water. "Hindi ako makapaniwala na naging mayor ka! Tanga ka! Ang tanga-tanga mo! Wala kang kasing-tanga!"

His eyes widen and curiosity was written all over his face. "Oh, bakit ka naiyak diyan? Asar-talo ka pala?"

Iritang sumigaw ako bago siya sinugod! Sinuntok ko ang braso niya na sunod-sunod niyang iniiwasan.
