Allie & Xander #Wattys2015

Paint

"I brought paint samples."

"Well good morning to you, too," Alexander chuckled before stealing a kiss from Alexandra and giving her a quick peck on the lips.

Napamewang tuloy si Alexandra sa ginawa ni Alexander. "We're here to paint, not..."

"Not what?" Alexander smirked at her.

"I didn't come here para halikan mo ako. And by the way, you don't get to just kiss me whenever you want," she raised her eyebrow up at him.

"I can sense na pilit ang pagtataray mo," he ignored her rant and pulled her by the waist closer to him.

"I'm serious," pilit na pinapatigas ni Alexandra ang kanyang boses.

"Fine, Allie, we'll paint," he conceded.

"Very good," she walked away from him and set two small canisters of taupe paint down on the carpet. Naglatag muna sya ng plastic bago buksan ang mga paint cans dahil ayaw nyang magka-accident at masira ang flooring ng condo ni Alexander. She handed Alexander one paintbrush while she held another in her hand. "You take one and I take one? We'll do a side by side comparison para mapili mo ang mas gusto mo. I know they look similar right now, pero promise, may slight difference ang mga pintura," she smiled at him.

"Alam mo, Allie, sa totoo lang, kaming mga lalaki, hindi naman namin napapansin ang mga bagay na ganyan."

"Eh pansinin mo na," Alexandra laughed. "See, look," she pointed to her shade of taupe. "Hindi mo pa lang mahahalata ngayon, pero mine will dry more brown while yours will dry more grey."

"Okay, so what do we do now?"

"We wait for the paint to dry," she answered his question matter-of-factly.

"Boring!"

"Hipan mo o kaya paypayan mo at ng matuyo agad," she giggled.

"I have a better idea," he moved to kiss her on the lips but she stopped him by holding her paintbrush up kaya napinturahan nya ang labi at baba ng binata.

"Ooops, sorry," Alexandra laughed. "Ikaw kasi eh, ang landi landi mo!"

"Ah ganun ha," he wiped his mouth with his hand and rubbed his paint covered hand on her lips.

She gasped at what he did. "Xander!" she shrieked. She wiped her mouth and looked at her now painted palm in horror.

"Ooops, sorry," he playfully said to her.

"Sinadya mo eh!" she said to him.

"Hindi kaya. Kung sinadya kong pinturahan ang kissable lips mo, eh di sana ginawa ko na lang to," he swiped at her chin with the paintbrush in his hand.

Namilog ang mga mata ni Alexandra sa ginawa ng binata. "Xander!" she screamed at him again. "Ano ba!"

Since Alexander still held the paintbrush against her skin, when she moved to lunge at him ay nausog ang kamay ng binata at napinturahan na pati ang dibdib at damit ng dalaga. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she painted his chest with her paintbrush na lang din.

"Gantihan lang?" he grabbed her wrist to stop her from purposely painting his white v-neck with taupe paint.

"Nauna ka kasi!"

"Nauna ka!"

"Eh kung hindi ka kasi nananantsing, eh di hindi sana kita napinturahan."

"Eh kung hindi ka kasi nagpapakipot, eh di hindi na sana ako nananantsing."

"Eh di inamin mo din!"

"Sorry na," sabi ni Alexander gamit ang malambing na boses. He reached for her hair to tuck it behind her ears kaya lang nakalimutan nyang may pintura nga pala ang palad nya at nalagyan na tuloy ang pisngi at buhok ng dalaga.
