Helveryst Series #2 : The Cassanova and The Hater

Chapter 40 - Interviews

SHAWN AXCEL'S POV

"Mine, aren't you finished? Nangangalay na ang leeg ko, oh! Mabuti kase sana kung binibigyan mo ako ng kiss pagkatapos ng isang minuto," reklamo ko pa.

She's been doing some hairstyles on my hair and stuffs on my face. And I swear, its uncomfortable. Hindi naman kase ako mahilig maglagay ng kahit ano sa mukha ko kahit na pulbo. And here she is, making me like a doll. Siya pa lang ang gumagawa sa'kin ng ganito. Takte! Mukha na akong bakla nito.

She winced."Just stay still. Malapit na akong matapos sa hairdo mo. After this I'm going to put the wig on you so we could take a picture."

"Mine naman! Kanina mo pa sinasabi 'yan eh. Magdadalawang oras na pero hindi pa rin tapos. Nangangati na rin ang mukha ko, gusto ko nang tanggalin 'to," I complained once again.

She glared at me so I couldn't do anything but to shut up. Tama. Siya dapat ang masusunod sa'ming dalawa. Under ako sa kanya eh kaya wala akong magawa. And yeah, I'm cooperating because its what my girl wants.

Ilang minuto pa akong nakaharap sa salamin at hinahayaan siya sa gusto niya. Hindi na rin ako nagsalita dahil baka sabihin niya na naman na nagrereklamo ako at ayaw ko sa ginagawa niya. She easily get pissed and when she's in that stage, its over. Silent treatment for the whole day.

"Gosh! Finally its done! Look, mine. Attractive ka rin pa lang tingnan kahit na babae ka," she complemented.

Gusto kong matawa sa sinabi niya pero nangingibabaw sa'kin ang narinig kong pagtawag niya sa'kin ng 'mine'. It gives a romantic excitement to me. Sounds gay but I'm this dead over her.

"I bet you don't want me to be a girl, mine. Baka mas malamangan ko ang ganda mo," I teased.

She rolled her eyes on me."Duh? Even the Miss Universe couldn't level my beauty. Magpasalamat ka at ikaw ang nakakuha sa'kin."

"I know. That's what I've been wishing for and I'm always thanking God for it." I stood up and grabbed her waist."Aminado akong swerte ako sa'yo..pero mas swerte ka sa'kin."

I gave her a wink that made her blush in an instant. Nagpumiglas pa siya pero hindi ko binitawan at ngumuso pa, senyales na gusto ko ng kiss. Ngunit bumagsak ang magkabilang balikat ko nang sinamaan niya ako ng tingin and tumalikod sa'kin.

Damn it! Akala ko pa naman may reward pagkatapos nito.

But then she suddenly came back and gave me a peck on my lips."That's all. Pasalamat ka ulit dahil pinagbigyan kita."

I secretly smiled because of that.

Pumunta kami ng Mall pagkatapos kong maglinis ng mukha ko. She said that her fingernails needs to be replaced with a new design so I'm gonna accompany her. 'Yon nga lang, nakasuot kami pareho ng mask at shades para walang makakilala sa'min. No one knows our relationship other than our family and friends. She doesn't want to reveal it yet.

"What color do you think will suit my nails? Choose wisely," tanong niya.

Napaisip naman kaagad ako."That one. It looks you cute so I want that."

Pagkatapos namin sa nails niya ay pumunta kami sa shop na pinagbibilhan niya ng mga damit minsan. That made me think of an idea. No'ng bago pa lang sina Kuya at Kat, bumili siya ng couple shirts. Maganda ata 'yon kapag kaming dalawa ang magsuot.

"Why are you picking that? Gusto mo ng couple shirts?"

Napaigtad naman ako nang bigla siyang sumulpot sa tabi ko "Uhm..I just think of trying it with you. Bagay naman siguro 'to sa'tin. What do you think?"

"That's so corny," she commented but eventually get the shirt for her.

We really did what ordinary couples do. Nakasuot kami ng couple shirt habang naglalakad sa loob. Magaan talaga sa pakiramdam 'yong para bang hindi kayo kilala ng mga tao at kahit pagtingin ay hindi nila kayang gawin. This is the main reason why we chose to hide for the meantime. Ayaw muna naming magpa-expose kase gusto muna naming maranasan 'yong ordinaryong tao lang din kami, para iwas na rin sa atensyon.
