Chapter 19: I like Cooler Vander
JAJA
This is nice.
Nakaupo kami sa sofa, with Cooler's arm draped around my shoulders, gently pulling me closer to him. Nakasandal ako sa dibdib niya, feeling the warmth of his body against mine.
Heto na naman kami. Anong closure ba kailangan namin para matauhan kami? I chose option four, remember?
And then he will randomly show up late at night, wanting a taste of my lollipop? Ako namang si marupok ay agad na bibigay. I was now addicted to his kisses like they were a vice.
Naramdaman kong hinalikan niya ang tuktok ng ulo ko, kaya mas lalo ko pang isiniksik ang sarili sa kanya. I absentmindedly played with the hem of his shirt while he gently drew circles on my shoulders.
Ano nga ulit kami?
"Cooler?"
He pressed my hand. "Hmm?"
Ano ba tayo?
Pero wala akong lakas ng loob na itanong iyon. How many times did we decide we should stop this? How many times did we identify as friends? Friends aren't supposed to cuddle like this!
"Baka lumamig na ang pagkaing ni-microwave ko," iyon na lamang ang nasabi ko.
"We can heat it up again."
Napangiti ako. "Yeah, right," sagot ko at pinakinggan na lamang ang tibok ng puso niya. Having his broad chest this close is like a free real estate.
We shared another kiss—a hot kiss, but Cooler kept his hands to himself. He was not taking advantage; he did not make me feel like he wanted to use me. Bago sa akin ang pakiramdam na iyon. I know I am not worth anything, but Cooler kissed me like a very precious thing na kahit minsan ay hindi ko naramdaman kay Jules. He provided warmth and comfort na tila ba nakalilimutan ko ang lahat ng problema sa mundo sa tuwing hawak niya ako.
"Malapit lang itong bahay sa 7 Eleven," kwento ko sa kanya dahil wala akong maisip na sasabihin.
"Do you want anything?" tanong niya. "We can go and buy."
Umiling ako. "Nakabili na ako, ano ka ba. I just like it na malapit lang 'to sa 7 Eleven. Mula high school gusto ko ng tumambay sa 7 Eleven. I would save up my money para makabili ako dati ng Slurpee o di kaya ay sundae."
He kissed the top of my head again. "What were you like in high school?"
Bahagya akong lumayo sa kanya. "Huwag mo ng itanong, nakakahiya! Pasaway akong estudyante."
He pulled me back against his body. "You said before that you auditioned thirteen times for the Sleeping Beauty school play and got the role of the tree?"
