A Kiss To Baccara

Chapter 15

CHAPTER 15.

I JUST STAYED SILENT as he pulled me to somewhere. His back was on me, and I just stares at it. His soft, black hair was swaying along the wind whenever he took a step forward, and I couldn't just ignore how smooth it glides on his nape.

It wasn't even that long since I got here in this school, but he already made me feel a lot of things that were unfamiliar to me. Being this observant, even with how his hair moves, was a part of it.

Observant naman talaga akong tao, that's part of the skills I needed to learn while training to be the next leader of Azarcon Family. My five senses were heightened in order for me to take advantage of enemies and not be able to get attacked by my enemies, too.

I never knew my observation skills would also include this-watching every detail about him.

Kumurap ako at umiling para alisin ang thoughts na nagsisimulang mamuo sa utak ko. The mind is powerful. Kung ano man ang iniisip mo, kung ano man ang dinidikta ng utak mo sa katawan mo, nangyayari 'yon kaya pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong mag-isip ng kung anu-ano tungkol sa estrangherong pakiramdam na nararamdaman ko ngayon.

It has been a long time since I did it with someone because I was so busy with school and work. Tama, baka 'yon lang 'yon. Baka nga kulang lang ako sa dilig, kaya ganito ang nararamdaman ko kapag may male specie na malapit. Tama, 'yon lang 'yon. Wala nang iba.

"Kyrie?"

Napakurap ako at nahila pabalik sa reyalidad ang utak. Napaangat ako ng tingin kay Kace nang mapansing huminto na pala siya. "H-Huh?"

He smiled. "Ang lalim naman ng iniisip mo. Kanina pa tayong tumigil, 'tsaka kanina pa kita tinatawag pero tulala ka." He chuckled. "May problema ka ba? Baka kailangan mo ng kausap, o tagapakinig?"

I cleared my throat. "Wala!" Nilibot ko kaagad ang paningin ko para ibahin ang usapan. "Saan mo ba ako dinala?"

I didn't know where we were, but I knew we're far from school basing on how my feet felt sore from all that walking.

There were only a few houses here, puro mga puno lang na feel ko ay man-made dahil nakahilera nang maayos sa magkabilang gilid ng daan. There were also benches here.

Parang kaming nasa isang park, pero sa baba ay may lake. May sementong hagdan na pababa papunta sa grass malapit sa lake, at may iilang mga ligaw na bulaklak naman na nakapalibot sa lake. At sa malayo, kitang-kita ang papalubog na araw na nagtatago sa likod ng bundok.

Looking at how the skies were turning into a pinkish and orange-y red reminded me of the colors of the blood on my clothes everytime I finish a job before when I was still a member of the crew. The sun setting was my cue to start working because the night was our morning, and the morning was when we sleep.

"Halika! Baba tayo ro'n!"

Masyadong okupado ang utak ko kaya hindi agad ako nakaangal nang hilain niya na naman ako pababa sa hagdan, at papunta sa tapat ng lake.

This part of the lake was grassy, and I felt my legs started to feel itchy. Naka-skirt lang ako na parte ng uniform ko, at hindi knee-length ang suot kong medyas.

"Teka, makati," I said before I stopped walking and withdrew my hand from his grip. Then, I scratched my legs.

"Allergic ka ba sa grass?" He chuckled. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko nang bigla siyang tumalikod at lumuhod sa harap ko. "Sumampa ka. Medyo malayo pa tayo sa pwestong gusto ko, baka bigla kang magka-rashes d'yan at isusugod pa kita sa ospital."

I scoffed. "What the hell? I'm not a--"

He sighed. "Sampa na kasi! Dami mo pang sinasabi. Sige ka, 'pag 'di ka pa sasampa, bubuhatin kita, bridal style. Gusto mo 'yon?" pang-asar niya.
