"Can I take a shower first?"

He slowed down when he heard me. Ang kamay niya ay mahigpit pa rin ang hawak sa kamay ko at ganoon din ako sa kanya. I couldn't help but feel happy about it. Kung hindi lang ako pawisan kanina ay baka hinalikan ko na siya sa sobrang tuwa ko. I have dreamed of this for so long... for us to be public... and I can't believe that it is happening now.

"You brought clothes?"

Inangat ko ang bitbit na duffel bag.

"Plano ko kasing bisitahin ka sa clinic mo pagkatapos namin nina Diego rito." Paliwanag ko, hindi pa man siya nagtatanong. "You know... baka gusto mong lumabas... magdate... baka lang naman." I smirked at him and wriggled my brows.

"Tss..." Ismid niya. He then laughed a bit.

"Okay lang? Hindi ka nagmamadali?" Seryosong tanong ko na ngayon.

Tumango siya at hinila na ako. It seems like he's really a regular here. Alam niya na kasi ang pasikot-sikot at kung saan dadaan para mas mabilis. He then let go of my hand when we reached the shower room. Tinuro niya ang bench hindi kalayuan doon.

"Doon ako maghihintay."

I watched him for a moment before I nodded. Balak ko sanang asarin pa siya na samahan ako sa loob ng cubicle pero baka ako lang naman ang malugi kaya 'wag na lang muna. Maliban sa may nauna na akong atraso, ayaw ko namang dagdagan pa pagkakainis niya sa akin ngayon.

"Anong oras ang duty mo?" I casually asked. "Hindi ka pa ba late?"

Umiling siya at namulsa.

"I supposedly have a patient this morning but he already moved his appointment in the afternoon since something came up at work. So... we can have lunch together... if you want."

Kaagad na namilog ang mga mata ko. "Talaga? Oo naman.... gusto ko, Rael. Syempre! Kahit pati dinner pa! At breakfast bukas! Kahit nga araw-araw. Kahit kailan basta hindi ka busy..."

Sira ba siya? Bakit ako aayaw? Kailanman ay hindi ako aayaw basta siya.

Ngumiti siya at tumango. "Okay."

Shit! Totoo ba?

I licked my lips and narrowed my eyes at him. Anong nakain nito at mukhang pinagbibigyan yata ako ngayon? Nawawala sa character ang nonchalant ko na 'yan, ah?

"What is it?" he inquired slowly. Maybe he noticed my doubtful stares at him. Nagtaas siya ng kilay at sumandal sa dingding habang nakahalukipkip, naghihintay sa sagot ko.

I blinked and swallowed hard as I checked him out. Nakasimpleng polo shirt na nakatuck in sa maong pants lang siya pero grabe na ang dating. His hair is also styled perfectly, giving him a clean vibe look. Matangkad siya at agaw pansin din ang biceps, lalo na't nakacrossed arms.

If I remembered it right, mas matangkad ako sa kanya noon, e. Ngayon ay parang isang pulgada na lang ang lamang ko.

He chuckled a bit when I failed to give him an answer. His tongue poked the inside of his cheek as he stood straight, still with his arms crossed, flexing his muscles on the right places.

Alam yata na type na type ko siya.

My lips twisted sexily.

Damn, of course, he knows what he is doing.

And I know what to do, too.

I dropped my bag on the floor and instead of going inside to one of the cubicles like my initial plan, I walked to the entrance door and closed it. Pinipihit ko pa lang ang lock ay naramdaman ko na siya sa likuran ko. And when I turned around to face him, I was immediately welcomed by his hungry kisses. Ngunit saglit lang ang pagkakagulat ko. My back hit the door as I coaxed him to come closer while I'm busy returning his kisses.
