"Respect"

             "Ako na, kaya ko na."


Marahan kong inagaw ang towel mula sa kamay niya nang hindi siya tumigil sa pagpunas ng luhaang mata ko. Tumigil naman na iyon sa pagluluha kaya nagtataka ako kung bakit hindi pa rin lumalayo ang lalaking ito. Nang tignan ko siya sa kanyang birdeng mga mata ay kitang kita pa rin ang pag aalala.


"I'm really sorry. I didn't know." he apologized again while deeply staring back at me. Concern and guilt is very evident on his voice that almost made me chuckle.

"Stop saying sorry. Pang limang sorry mo na ata iyan. It's not like you almost killed me, Danzel." i tried joking around just to ease the tension but it somehow made it worser. He frowned even more and his eyes are almost begging.

"Allergy reaction is no joke. If i misbehaved awhile ago, you might be lying in the hospital bed right now. Stop joking like that." sermon niya sa akin.

Seryosong seryoso siya kaya napahagikhik nalang ako. I stood up, trying to face the mirror just around the corner of the counter. My face is a bit reddish, but it wasn't exaggerating. Good.

"Ano bang kasing trip mo at bigla biglang kang pumupunta dito at may pa-bouquet ka pang nalalaman? Aakyat ka ba ng ligaw?" sarkastiko kong tanong habang pinapanood siyang tumayo sa likod ko. I can clearly see him through our mirror reflections.

"Would you allow me if i say yes?"

Natigilan ako nang sumagot siya ng seryoso. Hindi iyon pabalang kaya ako ang natigilan. Bakit imbes na siya ay ako ang napapahiya dito?

"Tsk. Stop saying nonsense, baka marinig ka pa ni Franzel, gagawan pa niya ako ng issue." I tried acting unbothered and cool. Gusto kong limitahan ang reaksyon na ipinapakita ko sa kanya para hindi niya isiping nagugustohan ko ang mga pinaggagagawa niya. Dahil kung hindi ay hinding hindi niya rin ako titigilan.

"Why not? Don't you like being flaunted to the crowd? Hey you guys, i'm going to court Amo—"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang biglang lumakas ang boses niya na parang gusto talaga niyang ipaalam sa lahat ang plano niya kaya agad kong inabot ang bibig niya para takpan gamit ang kamay ko.

I almost jolted when i felt how hot and soft his lips are against my palm.

"What the hell, Danzel?!" i hissed and glared at him.

Based on his eyes, he's smirking and probably even amused because of my reaction. Nawala ang kunot sa mga noo ko nang marahan niyang alisin ang kamay ko mula sa pagkakatakip sa bibig niya at bahagyang yumuko.

He bend over and my eyes immediately widened when the back of my hand was gently kissed by him while his other arm are on his back.

It was so sudden yet gentle.

I can almost hear my own heart screaming and aggressively beating while watching him. I couldn't move any muscle and i was struck right there, staring at him with confusion and great overwhelmeness.

Halos mabingi ako sa ingay ng paligid at tuloyang naestatwa sa kinatatayuan habang nakatitig sa kanya. The butterflies inside me are all flying over and dancing like as if it's their party time.

The time seems to stop, but this heart of mine never did. Everything is dramatically in a slow motion while he's pressing his lips against the skin of my hand, closing his eyes passionately and letting me feel what he wanted me to feel.

What is this feeling?

Why does it suddenly feel so warm and.. comfortable?

Why do i feel a great emotion inside me that i couldn't explain?
