Game Over, Engineer

WY

TWO DAYS. TWO days had passed since she remembered everything, and now, Enesha summoned her again to her office. Hindi niya alam kung bakit siya pinapatawag ulit nito, but she knows it has something to do with Jaxavion again.

"Raspberry tea. . . What's with this, Enesha? Gustong-gusto mo 'ata 'to," kunot-noo niyang saad habang pinaikot ang kutsara upang mahalo nang maayos ang honey.

She looked at how the tea swirled, but upon remembering who's in front of her, mabilis niya iyong itinigil at nag-angat ng tingin sa babae na matamang nakatingin sa kanya habang hawak ang tsaa.

Fuck. Enesha is a hypnotherapist! She needs to be careful around her!

Pinaningkitan niya ito ng mga mata. "You're not going to hypnotize me again, are you?"

Natigilan ito at saglit na napamaang sa kanyang sinabi bago natawa nang malakas. Umaalog ang balikat nito, and as she laughed, her head tilted upwards and laughed even more, finding her words hilarious.

Her upturned eyes are glistening, at naniningkit ito. Her dimple is showing, and she just find herself captivated by her beauty. Napakurap pa siya habang nakatingin sa kaharap at bahagyang umawang ang kanyang mga labi.

Woah. . .

Enesha is indeed beautiful lalo na kapag tumatawa ito. Ilang beses niya na rin ito nakitang tumawa lalo na kapag naglaro sila ng video games noon, pero 'di niya pa ring maiwasang mapatulala rito.

The Futores are really all good-looking.

"I'm not going to do that again, Jill!" natatawang saad nito na ikinakurap niya.

Muntik na siyang matanga, pero unti-unti siyang bumalik sa realidad nang humina na ang tawa nito habang nakatingin sa kanya.

What the heck? She just got starstruck by the way Enesha laughed! No wonder why her boyfriend is too head over heels with her! Enesha can captivate anyone!

"Anyways, remember what I told you last time?" She cleared her throat. Seriousness wrapped around her voice. Tumitig pa ito sa kanya saglit bago sumimsim sa tsaa nito, but she was looking at her over the teacup's rim.

Napabuntonghininga siya at tumango. Enesha's statement is still fresh on her mind as if they had that conversation yesterday.

She told her to be careful around Jaxavion. . . because he screams danger.

"I'm ready, Enesha." She sipped on her tea. Its sweet and sour taste wrapped around her mouth, intoxicating her and causing her to close her eyes and sip on its sweetness even more.

Enesha hummed in approval. "That's good to hear. . ." Humina ang boses nito, and when she opened her eyes to look at her, she saw how the corners of her lips curled upwards a little while looking at her tea as if she was planning something. . . wicked.

Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa nakita at napagdesisyunang ubusin ang tsaa. Gusto niya sanang dahan-dahanin iyon, pero hindi niya mapigilan. She really feels intimidated around Enesha sometimes.

"Do you know how powerful words are? Too powerful. . . that they can penetrate your brain and echo throughout your mind nonstop." Enesha's eyes were still fixated on her tea, and there was this smile on her face that made the hair on her neck stand on end.

Hindi siya nagsalita. Other than she doesn't know what Enesha is talking about, wala rin siyang mahanap na mga salita. Tila naumid ang kanyang dila habang nakatingin sa ngisi nito.

But fuck. It's Enesha. She won't do anything to her, won't she?

She tapped her head to erase those thoughts off her mind and adjusted her glasses. Enesha might be intimidating as hell, and she may look like someone who she can't trust but. . . she's her man's sister. And she knows Enesha will stay true to her words.
