Kissing The Forbidden (Monte Casa Series 2)

Chapter 3

Staring at him with twinkling eyes and vibrant expression, the pambabastos he gave me, completely forgotten as I lean over him to cutely take the yellow paint.

He glared at me. "You could've get that without leaning to me." He said darkly.

Biting my lips, I nodded my head. "Sorry." I stifled a laugh when he rolled his eyes and walks away from me.

"Huy! Hindi mo na naman ako pinapansin! Kagabi ka pa ah!" Nilakasan ko pa ang boses ko dahil mukhang bingi siya. Ayaw niya non? Nagke-care ako sa kaniya, I care for him at nilakasan ko pa talaga ang boses ko.

Mr. Martinez ignored my shameless voice and proceeds on walking away from me. I followed him like a dog wagging it's tail for its owner, smile across my face as my eyes stared at his broad back.

Lupet ah, sexy back.

Suot niya ang white uniform ng college university, isang sakay ng jeep ang layo sa bookstore na 'to, at bag na itim. First year ata siya?

"Ano ang name mo?" Walang pagdadalawang-isip kong usisa sa kaniya ng tumigil siya sa businesses management books section. Tumitingin-tingin din ako at kumuha ng isa para naman hindi magmukhang talagang sunod-sunoran ako sa kaniya, which is the truth, by the way.

Nanatili siyang tahimik na inaasahan ko naman pero dissatisfied pa rin.

Ngumuso ako at tinitigan siya, mayroon siyang cute na mole sa may bandang pisngi niya at isa pang beauty mark sa ilong. Woah! Ang attractive niyang tingnan!

Crush ko ba siya? Yes namernz!

I smiled sweetly at him and talked, "my name's Adira Crymsin! You can call me Adira! Hehe, what's yours?"

He rolled his eyes before taking three books of his choice and walked to the next shelves for bond paper and notebook.

Sumunod ulit ako sa kaniya, tutal kailangan ko rin ng notebook na yellow for MAPEH. I wonder what he design he would choose for a notebook?

Sinilip ko siya at agad na nanghinayang ng isang plain black colored na mamahaling notebook ang binili, wow yayamanin.

"Ilang taon ka na? Year one ka ba sa college? Ako kasi grade 11 pa lang, doon ako sa highschool diyan sa katapat ng big field? Alam mo 'yun? Ikaw, hulaan ko don ka sa magarang university doon sa malapit sa karinderya ni Ate Tonya." Dinaldalan ko na lamang siya habang kumukuha pa rin siya ng mga kakailanganing libro.

Kilala ko si Ate Tonya dahil minsang dumadayo ako sa kaniya kapag medyo nahapunan ako sa mga mall. Masarap ang mga luto niya kaya favorite kong karinderya 'yung sa kaniya.

Gaya ng inaasahan, hindi na naman siya nagsalita. Nakapanghinayang sa boses niyang magara.

Nang may naalala, lumingon ako sa kaniya. "May abstract painting achuchu kasi kami, aask ko lang sana kung what's your favorite color, pwede ba? You know, baka masama sa concept ko. Swerte mo naman."

He glanced at from the corner of his eyes and let out an exasperated breathe, as if he's really tired of me, "green."

My eyes widen in surprise because of the sudden words that came out of his mouth, the corner of my mouth lift upwards and stared at him. "This is the first time you answered my questions huh?! Are you getting interested at me na? Haha, minor pa 'ko."

From the books, his eyes landed on me. For a brief moment, I saw him examine me from head to toe and shook his head. Nilapag niya ang isang makapal na libro sa harap at naghalukpkip sa harap ko. "What do you want?"

Ngumisi ako, "Ikaw." Walang pagdududang amin ko.

"Go away, go play with somebody or just fucking pay for that art things you're planning to buy. Don't mess with me. You're getting fucking annoying."
