Bring It On, Detective

R

HE COULD SAY that during the past few days of Elisheva being here, they became comfortable with each other. They joke around, and she's loosening up.

But there's one thing about her that bothers him so much. Parating gano'n ang masasaksihan niya kapag bibisitahin niya ang pamangkin niya—nakabukas ang pinto ng babae kapag natutulog.

And now, he's curious.

"Your door was open."

Elisheva looked at him over her left shoulder before focusing her attention on making the food again.

"You have a bathroom inside your room, so imposibleng pupunta ka sa baba at madaanan ang kwarto ko para lang magbanyo. Were you visiting Jayden, Detective?"

How observant. Shit. He really likes the way she thinks and analyzes things.

Brushing his hair, he nodded. "Yes. So, why was your door open?"

"That's how I sleep, Detective. Talagang nakabukas ang pinto. I got used to sleeping that way, lalo na kung ako lang mag-isa."

Kumunot ang kanyang noo sa narinig, and he wonders why. Baka natatakot itong matulog nang nakasara ang pinto no'ng bata pa ito hanggang sa nakasanayan?

Baka takot itong mag-isa?

Forehead knotting, he sighed. "Should I sleep beside you, then?" he unconsciously asked, and the moment she chuckled, doon niya lang napagtanto kung ano ang sinabi niya.

What the heck?! And he doesn't mean anything by that!

There's a playful glint in her eyes, giving him an idea that she took his words naughtily.

"Are you flirting with me, Detective?"

Napailing na lang siya sa isip at napangisi. He should go with the flow, then, and see where this would lead to.

"Am I that obvious?"

"Too obvious."

"So, what's your answer?" Pabiro niya itong tinaasan ng kilay, his smirk never leaving his face.

He wonders what will happen if they continue being a tease to each other.

Elisheva faced him completely and leaned against the counter, her head cocking to the other side as a playful smirk rose.

Muntik nang mawala ang ngisi sa mga labi niya. Fuck. Fuck! She looks so fucking sexy in that white shirt, at sumilay pa nang konti ang red na strap nito.

The playfulness that she had started made his mind twist. . . three-hundred sixty degrees.

His mind started to think a lot of naughty things just by that sight—her on his bed, her red bra cupping her breasts while the left strap slid over her shoulder, looking at him with desire laced in her eyes as he fucked her hard.

"Try harder, Detective," pang-aasar nito sa kanya bago muling binalingan ang niluluto.

Pero wala roon ang kanyang atensyon. Paulit-ulit na naglalaro sa kanyang isip ang nakita niya kanina. He could feel heat starting to awaken his senses, at bago pa siya may magawa, mabilis siyang umiling at sinagot ito,

"I'll try harder, then."

"DETECTIVE, WHAT'S YOUR favorite color?" Elisheva asked all of a sudden when she finished cooking the food and began to style it the way Jayden loved.

"Red."

"Why red?"

He looked at her over the rim of his glasses while sipping the coffee that Elisheva made for him. She was currently designing Jayden's foods, turning them into cute characters.
