She was shell-shocked. Then anger quickly kicked in. She pulled herself away from him as if she'd been burned.
"Did you have a weird phone sex with your fiancè before you came here and talked to me?" She hissed in anger and embarassment.
He frowned. "Where did you get that idea? No. I came straight right here after I rummaged my closet for clothes."
"Then... then why are you having that?" Nangigilalas na turo niya sa ibabang bahagi ng katawan nito.
Awang ang mga labing pinagkrus nito ang mga braso sa dibdib. Itinagilid ang ulo saka siya mariing tinitigan.
"Can't you tell?"
She looked at him warily. "Tell what?"
He drew a deep breath. "Ano sa tingin mo ang rason kung bakit tinitigasan ang isang lalaki?"
Awang ang mga labing nakatingin lang siya dito. Hindi alam kung papaano sasagutin ang tanong na iyon!
Tinitigasan?! What a vulgar word! And here she thought he was never the vulgar type, well at least when she's around!
"It is still far from morning. So you can cross the morning boner thing off your list." He supplied.
Kung hindi iyon eh ano? Kasi attracted ito sa kanya, ganoon? Ha! Did he really think she'll believe that utter nonsense?!
She laughed.
"No..." Wala sa sariling anas niya.
He lift one brow at her. "No? What do you mean No? Care to share your thoughts?"
Napailing siya. Halatang in denial. "You're definitely not attracted to me. Impossible." Ang tumatawang saad niya.
She was expecting him to laugh with her but he didn't. Unti unting nabura ang ngiti niya ng makita ang reaksyon nitong walang halong biro.
Muli siyang umiling. "No. You aren't." Mariin niyang turan.
He was quiet for a while. Then he clicked his tongue. "And what if I say I am?"
Tuluyan siyang napipi... napalunok. H-he said what...?!
Grayson Atticus Wright, the man she believed would never feel an ounce of attraction for her is standing here while having a massive boner because of her? Come on!
Humakbang ito palapit sa kanya na sinagot naman niya ng pag-atras. She jumped on her skin when the wall touched her back. He put both of his hands on each side of her head, trapping her in his arms.
She gulped. There's nowhere to go. "L-let go..." Anas niya pero hindi siya nito pinansin. Instead, he leveled his face with hers. Mataman siya nitong tinitigan.
"What if I say you attract me like no other, huh, Sesha?"
She opened her mouth to say something, medyo nag-alangan pa siya pero sa huli'y piniling sabihin ang laman ng isip.
"I won't believe you."
"And why is that?" He murmured, his breath fanning her face.
Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata. His minty breath alone is enough to send her heart into overdrive. Naikuyom niya ang mga kamao. This can't be... stop it right this instant, Sesha! A small voice at the back of her head reminded her.
Slowly, she took a deep breath, willing her heart to stop going through that dangerous route again. She swallowed hard. Nagmulat siya at diretsang sinalubong ang tingin nito.
"Because you said so."
He cocked his head to the side. "I said so?"
"When I was a teenager, remember?" Sarkastiko niyang sagot.
