My Boss is the Nerd I Rejected

19: Danger

"Ms. Valiente, what is your question?" Sir Kio's voice pulled me back to earth.

What? Was I daydreaming? Was that imagination? Hallucination? Sa sobrang eager ko ata na malaman ang sagot sa mga tanong ko, kung ano ano na ang nangyayari sa utak ko!

"Uh, wala po. I totally forgot." Then I smiled awkwardly.

"You just told me you have something to ask."

"Wala po. I-im sorry."

"Then let's just dance, alright? I rarely dance women. I just want to sit and drink my damn liquor. So if I ask you for a dance, it should be a privilege to you."

"Should I thank you, then?"

"Yep." He shot his brow.

"Thank you." I chuckled a bit.

"Saying thank you is not enough for me."

My forehead creased. "What do you want me to do? Treat you in a restaurant?"

"A kiss will do." Then he smirk.

Ito na naman po siya. Mapaglaro na naman. Kung sakyan ko kaya ang mga kalokohan nito? Titigil kaya?

"Okay, then." Then I tiptoe and reached his face 'til our faces is inches away from each other. I tilted my head, like ready to kiss him. But of course, I cut off. I smirk when I felt he was really waiting for my kiss.

"You will really kiss me?" He whispered. Probably catching breath because of our distance.

"Of course... not." Then I laughed and got back at my feet. Tawang tawa ako sa reaksyon ng mukha niya. He was really waiting for the kiss. Uto-uto rin pala ang isang 'to.

Natigil at napawi lang ang pagtawa ko nang dumilim ang ekspresyon niya. Napa-ehem na lang tuloy ako, napakagat labi at nag iwas ng tingin. He really is grumpy as ever. Galit na naman.

I gasped when his grip on my waist tightened. He leaned on my neck, almost kissing it. Para akong kinikiliti dahil sa init ng hininga niyang ramdam ko sa leeg ko.

"Don't play with me, Ms. Valiente. I admit, I waited for that fucking kiss. Maybe because I haven't done that to anyone."

Nagulat ako dahil sa sinabi niya. At hindi naman ako naniwala dahil sa itsura niyang iyan? Wala pang nahahalikan?

"You're kidding, right?"

"Of course. I kissed many women before. But that was what? Year ago? I missed kissing someone's lips. And I think yours is sweet, can I taste it?"

"This is not a free tast-"

Before I could even finish my words, he suddenly bent and leaned on my face. Sobrang lapit niya! Mas malapit pa 'to kaysa sa ginawa ko kanina kaya wala akong nagawa kundi ang pumikit! I just opened my eyes when I heard him chuckled.

Oh, this man. I couldn't believe he just fooled me!

He did the trick I have done a while ago!

And I don't know why I was frustrated as fuck!

"See? You closed your eyes too. How does it feel when someone played you?"

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and walked away.

Gosh, I don't really know why I'm frustrated right now. Yeah, I expected the kiss too, okay? I mean, sobrang lapit niya na kasi! That was the only thing I could do! Maduduling ako kung didilat ako!
