We reached the dorm, which turns out to be the president's humble abode. I already texted my brother about what happened. We used the president's gray Vespera Alamid to get here at the dorm, his house rather, faster. He gave me back my things and pinahiram nya ako ng isa t-shirt pamalit, dahil kaka-lipat ko lang doon. It's actually pretty big so I kinda look small, kahit pa 6'5 ang height ko. Clattering fidgets! Ang tangkad ni President Saavedra!! Is he 7" or what?
"Wow, you look like my girlfriend... Medyo malaki pala sayo yan." He said in a flirty tone as he chuckled softly. Anong problema nito? Why is he suddenly so flirty? I'mma tell this to my baby boy. Ang sabi nya kasi, hindi masyadong approachable si President Saavedra, tapos eto ngayon, he's being a blackwood flirt. Gosh, nakakahiya yung appearance ko. Tsaka, eto rin kaya yung pinanggagalingan nung galit sa'kin dun beige darklon na yon? Ano ka ba! Gf nga pala ng baby mo yung beige darklon na yon.
"Wait, anong height mo?" Tanong ko dahil I'm already freaking annoyed by the clammering fact that he's much taller than me. Hanggang shoulder nya lang ako eh. Sasagot na sana sya when suddenly, may kumatok sa front door. That must be Kuya Rix!
"Hades, let the visitor in." He commanded and the door automatically opened. Voice command technology? Wow, hindi lang pala sya law student, magaling din sya sa ancient computer engineering. Secondary degree nya kaya yun? Cinnamon lilac... This kid is smarter than me! Lalo akong naiinis sa kanya. Sorry my baby boy, ayoko na agad sa bestfriend mo.
Pagtingin ko sa may front door, I saw Kuya Rix, he is looking at President Saavedra with such a glare of phoenix. "Xy, dinalhan kita ng one month long luggage and sabi rin pala ni Mommy, wag kang masyadong lumabas." Kuya Rix strictly said. Bad mood lang ba si Kuya Rix or sadyang ayaw nya na lalaki ang roommate ko? "Sino ka?" he looked at President Saavedra for a while and then looked at me again. I hope he's not thinking what I'm thinking that he is thinking right now. Hindi ko sya papatulan! Kuya Rix naman eh!
"I'm Dark Saavedra, one of her classmates and ako rin yung nagsumbong sa professor nya na pinabayaan sya sa ulan. Ako rin ang dorm mate nya." Malamig na sagot nya kay Kuya habang hinahanda yung kitchen. "Well, thanks for doing those things for my beloved sister, Mr Saavedra. I'll tell that to our dear parents." Bumalik ang tingin sa'kin ni Kuya Rix. Alam ko na ang gustong sabihin ni Kuya kaya tumango na lang ako at nag-thank you sa kanya. Umalis na si Kuya at dahil gutom na ako, naisipan kong mag-request dito sa bata.
"Scholar, about nga pala sa tanong mo, my height is 7ft." Nahiya tuloy ako sa kanya. Ang tangkad eh! Kaya mo 'to Xy, go! "Uh, kiddo, pwede bang magluto ka ng pork adobo? I mean, ano kasi... Medyo ano lang... Hindi pa kasi ako sanay magluto." Nahihiya kong request sa kanya habang nakatingin sa mga abo nyang mata. Those eyes are beautiful and breathtaking... Ang kapal rin talaga minsan ng mukha ko, pero he seems good at cooking naman eh... Gosh, Xy. Grabe ka na.
"Sure thing. ATE" What? Gano'n lang kadali? Hindi man lang sya magrereklamo? May honorific pa syang ginamit. Habang nagluluto sya, napansin ko lalo ang mga micro details ng mukha nya. Those breathtaking gray eyes that keep glancing at me, that sharp jawline, those plump pinkish lips and the little 'X' on one end of his brow- What the hell am I doing?! C'mon, think of your baby boy... C'mon, think of him....
"Hey, don't look at me like that. Parang nakikita ko tuloy, naf-fall ka na eh" Aba! Sumosobra na ata kalandian nitong lalaking toh. "What?! No! You just look so serious and... Cool person." He looked away. Oh, ano ka ngayon? Hindi ka makasagot? "Did I say something wrong? Sorry..." I was about to leave when he suddenly caged me between his strong arms.
"Stay... Let me finish cooking with you... Besides, request mo naman 'to eh." I blushed when he rest his head on my shoulder while cooking. Grabe na talaga sya!! Oh my gosh....I hope hindi masyadong malala yung pagb-blush ko!! "You smell so good..." He huskily compliments as he continue on sniffling my scent like wolf smelling its prey. Pilit ko syang tinutulak pero he just kept bringing me back between his arms. Para bang, ayaw nya akong bitawan.
After some times, he's done with pork adobo and it smells so good! Gosh... It's kind of awkward kasi parang comfortable na sya sa shoulder ko. Ganito ba sya sa gf nya? Does he even have one? "How does it taste? This is my second time cooking for a girl but... you're a sophisticated imperial heiress and I hope hindi masama ang impression mo sakin. " I awkwardly smiled. Actually muntik nang masira yung reputation mo sa'kin. Masarap yung luto nya pero mukhang nage-enjoy sya sa shoulder ko. But anyways, this is the yummiest and most delicious adobo I've ever tasted.
Lumayo na sya sa'kin at pinaupo ako sa isang wooden chair. I took a spoonful bite and gosh...it is really savory and the pork fat just melts in my mouth... "You got some skills-" he wiped something in my mouth. "May dumi ba? Pero, thanks." I slightly smiled at him. That's kinda gentleman of him. May good side naman pala sya.
"Sorry. Just a habit... You somehow reminds me of my ex-girlfriend." Natigil ako sa pagkain. So.... It's EX- girlfriend? That must be the reason kung bakit ang clingy nya sa'kin. Maybe I looked like her. Pero mukhang hindi pa sya nakaka-move-on kung ganon sya ka-clingy sakin. "So sya ang first lady?" I asked. Normal na siguro yun para sa mga student councils.
"She WAS and official position ang first lady. So as of the present time, walang first lady. Masyado kasi syang nagpabaya kaya napalipat sya ng section at hindi pa muling pinatakbo sa USC Elections. Dahil rin do'n nakipaghiwalay sya sa'kin." So mayabang pala ang former first lady nya... Grabe, kahit pa kamukha ko sya, sama ng ugali nya. Geez... I hate it. "Naging kayo? Sabi kasi ni Light, nung last election, you don't even have a first lady, pano?" He just shrugs it off.

It's been a month since nung nagsama kami— I mean, tumira ako sa bahay ni President Saavedra and medyo nasanay ma ako sa flirty side nya. Sinabihan ko na rin si baby boy pero he shrugged it off. The classes ended earlier than the usual time today so nagpunta ako sa main library after mag-ring ng bell para makapag-relax. "Pres?" Napansin ko kasi ang isang guy na kahugis ng katawan ni President. "Hi there, Villafeurte told me that you have to find these books for your projects." Naghanap na ako ng pwesto at nag-thank you sa kanya. Literal na yelo pala talaga sya dito sa school. Kahit dalawang buwan na ako dito sa ArtU, hindi pa rin talaga ako sanay sa mala-yelo nyang ugali.
Tiningnan ko ulit ang papel and hinanap ang mga libro and kinuha ang mga iyon. My blue Caravaggio Cristolo is just at the university's student garage, kaya I can use it pauwi since tapos na lahat ng classes. Akala ko pa naman, I can relax na pero these zircon of a gun, unfinished projects!
"Morse code: 1, Claverix: 1-4, AlchV Series, A Hidden Memory: 1-7, Sige. Okay na. Pwede mo na silang iuwi" Binigyan nya ako ng isang card as proof na hiniram ko ang mga books at isang box na pwedeng paglagyan ng mga libro. Good thing, it's not that heavy. This box weighs the normal weight ng plates ng dumbells na binubuhat ko sa gym. Useful effect of my gym rat side.
Nakauwi na ako sa bahay at nagpalit. Pawis na pawis kasi ako dahil nasira ang air-con ng car ko tapos ang init pa ng weather. Ipapa-ayos ko na lang kay Kuya bukas, Saturday naman eh. I stayed in my room, buti na lang malakas yung aircon, just to read these books for our unfinished projects. I have hyperthymesia naman so kahit hindi ko sila basahin ng paulit-ulit, memorize ko na agad sila. Buti, naayos ko yung study table ko, kaya mas napadali ang paga-analyze ko. I don't know how many hours of sleep did I get, but it somehow felt good. Siguro dahil sa lamig ng aircon.

"Wake up... It's dinner time." I slowly opened my eyes and there, I saw the president's face. What time is it na ba? Ang sakit ng ulo ko, napa-sobra ata ako ng tulog ah... "Get up now, my little ATE." He smirked and ginulo ang buhok ko. Kalandian ng lalaking 'to, wala nang piniling oras.... Hayst! "I cooked a new dish, it's my own creation" I slowly looked at him and he is just in front of me, waiting for me to stands up. Wow ah, dapat nag-culinary ka na lang. "You're still sleepy?" He softly asked. I nodded my head and rubbed my eyes. Masyado pa akong inaantok para tumayo agad. Nakakatamad!
He really treats me like I'm his girlfriend!! Jeez, paano'ng hindi napipikon si baby sa kanya? "Oh, right. Yeah! Sorry, I must've fell asleep analyzing these things." Dahan-dahan akong tumayo, syempre, with his help, tsaka kami bumaba sa kitchen.
