He was aware of the fact that his actions carried inherent consequences. However, he decided to defer thinking of these repercussions for later. Ang mahalaga ay ang ngayon...
With that in mind, he turned his eyes back to the rearview mirror just so he could feast his eyes with Lawrah's face again. Subalit... wala pa mang limang segundo siyang nakatingin sa mukha ni Lawrah na ang tingin ay nasa labas pa rin, ay bigla namang umangat ang kanang kamay ni Capri upang ayusin ang posisyon ng salamin para mapunta kay Susie ang direksyon niyon. Now, all he could see was Susie, sleeping so quietly.
Tinapunan niya ng masamang tingin si Capri na napangisi na lang bago ibinalik ang pansin sa harapan.
"You're supposed to focus on the road," he reprimanded.
Nagkibit-balikat ito. "And you're supposed to focus on your initial goal, brother."
"H'wag mo akong pangaralan."
"Pinapaalalahanan lang kita. Sa huli ay pasasalamatan mo ako dahil sinalba kita. If... you know what I mean."
"Hindi ko alam kung bakit sa iyo ko sinabi ang lahat ng nangyayari ngayon sa buhay ko, Caprionne."
"Well, dahil alam mong sa lahat sa ating magkakapatid, ako ang pinaka-rasyonal."
"And you're the loudest, too. Why can't you just shut your mouth and save all that lecturing for later?"
Ngumisi ito at hindi na muling nagsalita pa.
Gritting his teeth in annoyance, he lifted his hand and reached for the rearview mirror, refocusing it in Lawrah's direction.
At natigilan siyang bigla nang makitang nasa harapan na rin ang tingin nito— at nagtama ang kanilang mga mata.
For a moment there, they just stared at each other, presently suspended in a silent exchange.
Siya ang unang nakabawi. Tumikhim muna siya bago nagsalita,
"Are you feeling okay?"
Damn. The gentleness in his voice almost struck him. Oh, of course he was one of the gentlest men a woman could ever meet— aside from bed— pero hindi siya ganito kahit kailan kay Lawrah.
He was kind to her before the incident, alright. But he wasn't this gentle.
Na kahit si Capri ay sandali siyang nilingon upang tapunan ng nagdududang tingin bago nito ibinalik ang pansin sa daan.
Nakita niya ang pagtango ni Lawrah kasunod ng pagkagat nito sa ibabang labi.
Wala sa loob na naibaba niya ang tingin sa mga labi nito.
And shit, he felt like someone had thrown him off the mouth of the volcano when he saw her wet her lips with her tongue.
So fucking hot... he whispered, cursing under his breath.
"Ikaw?" pukaw ni Lawrah sa kaniya. "Kumusta na ang lagay ng balikat mo?"
"Ohh," Capri interrupted, grinning a little. "She's now dropping formalities, I see..."
