Half a Heart ☑️

Chapter 21

(Caspian's POV)

"It says one teaspoon of salt, not TABLESPOON! My God, you don't even recognize these basic utensils?" ang saad ko nang matikman ang maalat na scrambled egg na niluto nya. Tinuturuan ko kase siyang magluto at nang mayroon naman siyang alam na gawaing bahay. Pero kahit ito ay mukhang alanganin siya at hindi ko na alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko.

"How am I supposed to differentiate them?!"

"TEAspoon means, yung ginagamit mong panghalo sa tea. At ito naman ang tablespoon," pagapapaliwanag ko sa kanya sabay pakita ng kutsara.

"I call that a spoon, so why argue? At hindi naman ako umiinom ng tsaa kaya fair enough. Excusable," ang pagrarason ng mokong. Napailing na lamang ako habang pinapanood siyang uminom ng soft drink mula sa refrigerator. "At tsaka, we'll probably stay with each other most of the time at may kanya-kanya naman tayong role. Siguro yung role mo ay maging mabuting asawa, magluto, at pakainin ako."

Tumalikod naman ako at nagkunwaring nililigpit ang mga ginamit niya sa pagluluto ng SCRAMBLED EGG dahil ayaw kong asarin niya naman ako sa namumula kong mukha. "Akala mo ba masasalba ka ng kagwapuhan mo?"

"You think I'm handsome?"

"I didn't say that."

"Denial is never good, babe," he said as he snaked his arms on my waist. Back hug has always been his thing. Pero weird lang kase palagi kong mararamdaman yung ano niya. Hindi naman ako nagrereklamo, pero ayun nga. Weird.

"And so is lying. At pwede bang tigil-tigilan mo ang 'you're gonna be a good wife for me' na excuse? Kung palagi mong tutularan si Juan Tamad, wala kang mararating. I swear," saad ko naman. I was just consuming the time so maybe this blush would go away.

Mas hinigpitan niya pa ang pagyakap sa akin. "Sure, babe. Are you shy?"

Kahit nakatalikod siya sa akin ay ramdam ko ang ngisi ng mokong na to base sa tono ng kanyang tanong. He's really good at teasing me and he's also equally good in making me feel great in every way. But I have to admit it, I am, indeed, shy.

"B-bakit naman ako mahihiya?"

"Yun nga ang point ko. Bakit ka mahihiya? I put your thing in my mouth and drained your balls out, plus I swallowed it, so hindi ka na dapat mahiya sa akin."

Retreat. Mas lalo lang akong nahiya dahil sa sinasabi niya sa akin. After what happened between us on that lake nearby, naramdaman kong mas naging intimate siya sa akin. I mean, that's a good thing, right? This guy has no filter in his mouth at all. Mabuti nalang talaga at walang ibang tao dito sa maliit na bahay nila dahil kapag meron, baka naghukay na ako ng malalim at doon na tumambay dahil sa pang-aasar ni Ello.

"Shhh! Shut up! Baka marinig tayo ni Mang Alek!"

"Nah, he's at the guardhouse which is a mile away from here," he exaggerated.

Nasa ganyan kaming posisyon nang bigla naming narinig ang isang sigaw mula sa labas ng bahay. I know that it's Mang Alek and I wonder why he's here.

"Speaking of Mang Alek, pwede mo bang buksan ang pinto?" utos ko sa kanya.

"Only if you plant those sexy lips on mine and make me drown from your sweet-"

"Sabihin mo nalang kase na tinatamad ka. Ako na, andami mo pang dada, eh," ang wika ko na tinawanan naman nya nang marahan.

He released me and I walked towards the door. As I opened it, Mang Alek was dressed casually and he was holding a pair of dark blue and peach suits. Both were looking fine, but I didn't know what was currently happening and his motives so I smiled at him.
