“W-where are we going?” I asked as I look outside the window of his car.
He dragged me in his car as he started driving to god knows where. Gusto niyang mag-usap kaming dalawa. Nilingon ko siya nang hindi siya sumagot. His eyes were fixed in the road, still looking mad and in rage. His hands were gripping into the steering wheel tight that his veins are already showing.
Ngumuso ako saka bahagyang napangiwi ng magbaba ng tingin sa suot ko. I suddenly feel sticky from all the sweat I had when I jog around kanina.
“Can you take me home already?” I asked. “I want to take a shower.”
Sumulyap siya sa akin bago bumaba ang tingin sa katawan ko. His jaw clench as his eyes linger on my bare stomach before he look away, clearing his throat.
“We will go to my condo,” he informed. “You can take your shower in there.”
Umawang ang labi ko at agad na nangunot ang noo bilang protesta. “W-what? But I don't have clothes-”
“I will order someone to buy your clothes.”
“But they don't know my size! Baka mamaya-”
“I will by it myself then!”
Napanguso ako. “Y-you also don't know my size. . .”
Sumulyap siya sa akin at walang habas na nagbaba ng tingin sa katawan ko at tumitig sa aking dibdib.
He smirked. “Who says that I don't, Ricca?”
Napanguso ako nang makita ang limang paper bag sa ibabaw ng kama paglabas ko galing ng bathroom. Nang makarating kami dito sa condo niya ay itinuro niya sa akin ang bathroom at inutusan akong maligo na dahil bibili siya ng damit.
I guess I took to long to shower. Nakabalik na siya at katatapos ko lang maligo. Lumapit ako sa mga paper bag at isa-isang tiningnan ang laman ng mga iyon. Iyong una ay mga shirts. Bahagya namang nag-init ang mukha ko ng makita ang laman ng pangalawang paper bag. It was undergarments. Panties and bras to be exact! Iba't-ibang designs pero pare-pareho lang ang sizes.
I pursed my lips when I realize that he is too confident when he said that he knew my sizes. And it makes me annoyed because he is right! His choices are right!
I also checked the other bags and found a black spaghetti sando to wear. I paired it with a cotton shorts. Tumayo ako sa harap ng isang full body mirror para tingnan ang sarili. Hindi na ako nag-abala na mag-suklay. I just tied my hair in a messy bun before I went out of the room to find him.
Wala siya sa sala kaya nag-punta ako ng kitchen pero nangunot ang noo ko ng hindi ko rin siya makita doon. I was about to go back to his room when I suddenly notice someone standing at the veranda. I knew it was him. . .who else can it be anyway?
I sighed then slowly made my way towards him. Nakatalikod siya sa gawi ko, nakaharap sa kawalan. I cleared my throat to get his attention.
“Uh, ano'ng pag-uusapan natin?” Pinilit kong tatagan ang boses ko lalo na noong humarap na siya sa gawi ko.
His cold and almost ruthless eyes bore into mine. I shiver when his stare travels to my body. He pursed his lips then muttered a round of soft curses before his eyes went back to my face.
“Come here,” nag-uutos ang buo at malamig niyang boses.
Napalunok ako at saka napatitig sa kaniya. I hesitated for a second kung lalapit ba ako o hindi but I decided to come closer to him and get this over with. Besides, he doesn't seem to be happy and in a good mood right now. His facade is as cold as ice and he is only like this when he is mad.
