Lies in the Past (Alimentation Series #2)

Chapter 39

Algebra:

Hi. When is your appointment with your dentist?

Napasulyap ako sa calendar na nasa ibabaw ng table. I make sure to put a red mark on the dates I have schedules. Minsan kasi nakakalimutan ko na may gagawin pala ako or dapat puntahan, especially dinner out with my relatives and parents. Reason why calendar is so precious to me.

I typed a message while leaning my back against the backrest of my swivel chair.

Ako:

This upcoming Friday pa. Why? Haven't you appointed yours yet?

Algebra:

I forgot to attend mine last Tuesday.

Ako:

Talk to your dentist for another appointment. Don't forget your dental care, Algebra.

Seriously, I didn't know that this family is so strict when it comes to oral health care. I used to brush my teeth three times a day. But I realized that it was not enough. We are all required to visit the dentist to clean our teeth and have our mouth checked.

Cavity at bad breath are not welcome in the family pa nga raw. I don't know if they just really don't want to be judgmental with each other or if it's the bare minimum that each other's mouths are clean.

Algebra:

Did you hear the news? It is said that Sel is about to remove her braces because she is complaining to Tito Golz that her mouth hurts when she's eating.

Why did he have to tell me about that thing? Or maybe he just really wanted to share the news with me?

Sabi ko na nga noon na 'wag na siyang magpalagay ng braces. Sel has nice teeth, but I don't know why she is still jealous of others. She doesn't need to feel that way because honestly, there is nothing wrong with her. She's almost perfect in our eyes.

Pero ang sabi niya ay naiinggit siya roon sa mga babaeng may design sa ngipin. At kahit ano ang sabihin ko, she didn't listen to me. I mean... to any of us.

Ako:

Lol after she cried because her mother isn't allowing her.

Algebra:

Kaya nga. But anyway, is it okay that I kissed someone who has bad breath? Maybe I won't get infected, right?

I almost dropped my cellphone from what I read. Why is it that if it's not Sel, he's the one asking the weird questions?

I had no intention of replying and just continue making my own script for the case presentation. Tina-type ko pa nang biglang nag-text na naman si Algebra.

Algebra:

I'm nervous. The kiss was just an accident, I didn't really like it. But maybe my breath will smell bad too, right? Is that possible? Ikaw, have you ever kissed someone with bad breath? Were you infected?

Kinamot ko ang ulo ko habang napapaisip na rin. But I don't think I can help with Algebra's question. It was just so weird.

But I've never kissed anyone with bad breath. At si Lemonade lang naman talaga ang nahalikan ko. Her mouth is delicious, and her breath tastes strawberry because of the flavor of the mouth wash she uses. Reason why sucking her lips is an addiction.

Sobrang maalaga si Lemonade sa sarili niya. She smells expensive so every time she gets close to me, I could only think of some inappropriate things. And it's kind of weird.

I missed her so bad. I really miss her warm presence in front of me and by my side. Walang araw na hindi ko siya naiisip at nami-miss. Hindi lilipas ang isang araw na hindi ko ini-imagine na nasa tabi ko siya.
