"Uhm... you have a wonderful place..." I muttered as soon as we went inside his house.
Arestov didn't say anything. Nauna lang siyang maglakad sa akin papasok sa bahay niya. Napahawak na lang ako nang mahigpit sa sling bag ko saka nilibot ng tingin ang bahay niya. His house is not that huge... just enough for one person to live in. It has black, gray, and white color schemes. I also couldn't sense any homely vibes in his house.
"I-I want to take a shower first, do you mind?" I asked and bit my lower lip.
Arestov looked at me and nodded. "Let's take a shower together."
I tilted my head and blinked. "Huh?" tanong ko pa. Tila nagkamali yata ako ng narinig.
Arestov started unbuttoning the remaining buttons on his button up shirt. "Let's take a shower together... only if you want to."
Napaiwas ako ng tingin saka tumango. "O-of course, it's okay."
Napalunok ako at muling napatingin sa kaniya. Nakaalis na ang pagkakabutones ng damit niya, pero hindi niya pa inaalis iyon. I just bit the insides of my cheeks when I saw a glimpse of his firm and well-toned abs. I suddenly became more nervous and conscious... I never felt this nervous with my past flings before.
"Let's go to my room. Follow me," tipid na sabi na lang niya saka tinalikuran na ako at umalis.
Tumango na lang ako at sumunod sa kaniya. I guess he's really a man of few words. If I were to judge him, I guess he's someone who likes to get things done immediately... someone who hates nonsense talks and complications.
I just followed him up to his room. Malaki ang silid niya at may malaki ring kama. Wala siyang tv, pero maraming libro sa silid niya. May malaking shelf pa para sa mga 'yon. Natigilan pa ako nang mapansing puro law books ang mga 'yon.
