Chapter Four: Peck. Peck.

Chapter Four:

Peck. Peck.

-Kevin's POV-

That house where we (me and my sister) used to live in was remodeled a month after their wedding. Ako lang naman titira dun kaya ako na rin ang nasunod. Ginawa kong black, white, gray and brown para masaya. Almost all of the furnishings are woodworks, nilagyan lang ng konting metals nung interior designer kasi boring daw.

Photography ang tinapos ko nung college kaya yung dating study ni Papa at Mama ginawa ko na lang mini office na may maliit din na studio if ever man na may mag test-flight ng portrait services ko.

Nicole, on the other hand, visited me when she had the time. Fresh graduate siya pero international flights na yung mga inassign sa kanya. Minsan excited ako pag bibisita siya kasi (hahahahaha!) kasama niya si Lester.

Oo nga pala, they called this morning, at bibisita daw sila kaya naligo ako agad at nagpapogi kahit sa bahay lang naman ako (pero naka-shoes).

While I was having lunch with the maids, dumating sila. Kumain din sila konti kasi pinilit ko, kumain na daw sila sa ganito at sa ganyan. Sabi ko samahan niyo naman ako, mahirap ang buhay-single.

Natawa si Lester. Pakyu.

While we watched television, Nicole patted my shoulder.

"Utol dadating yung kapatid ni Lester. Medyo malayo-layo din yung pinanggalingan. Occupied kasi yung guest room namin kasi andun yung mga kalat namin."

Lagi namang ganyan eh. Pag may kailangan ako lagi ang pupuntahan eh.

"Ate Daisy paki-handa nga po yung guest room sa opposite ng kwarto ko. Pakitanggal po yung beddings sa cabinet ng room na yun kasi lalagyan ng gamit. May bisita kasi tayo. Salamat. Labyu!" I smiled widely at Ate Daisy. She grinned in return.

"Bakit ang bilis naman ata?" asked Nicole.

"Wala lang. Ganyan naman kayo eh. Pag may kailangan nyenye si kevin nyenye. Three nights lang naman diba so no prob. Para kahit papano may makakasama na din ako. Uwian sila Ate Daisy at Ate Girlie diba?"

"Uh Kevs.." Lester's voice filled my ears. "He's staying for two months."

Sinimangutan ko siya.

"Ays lang." Kahit labag sa kalooban ko. "Wala namang kaso yun masusustenstuhan ko naman siguro siya unless mas matakaw siya sakin. Basta sana ayaw ko ng magulo kapag may work kasi alam naman ni Nicole na ayaw ko ng maingay. Also I don't want him bringing anyone in here, alright? I'm sure you know what I mean, Lester."

"Makakarating sa kanya yan." His eyes were spelling out apologies.

Napagusapan din namin konti sina Mama't Papa tapos yung mga plans ko din kung sasama ba ako sa kanila sa States or maiwan na lang ako dito. Umalis sila mga 7 na, tatawagan na lang daw ako kapag pupunta na kami sa NAIA.

***

The expected call came at 9PM,

Before I left the house, I made sure I smelled good and looked nice because I believe that first impression is uhmm, not everything but probably something.

When I arrived, Lester came at my windshield and waved at my face. Tumango lang ako then nag-park sa tabi nila.

"Parang hindi ikaw si Kevin ah." he said while I went to sit with them. "May something pare, may bago sa aura mo."

"Okay na rin yun nagbabago nako." I said with a stern voice.

Nicole stayed oblivious.

***

Hindi ko pa nakikita (kahit sa picture) yung Kuya ni Lester. 24 pa lang din naman daw siya, at single. Though I don't see the purpose why Lester had to mention that.

Meanwhile..

Lahat na ata ng hitsura ng lalaki naisip ko na. Iniisip ko kung anong magiging hitsura niya and I assumed magkamukha sila ni Lester but Lester keep insisting that they do not look like they're brothers.. And that they look like they're not related at all.

Toby had a better recipe daw when he was made daw. Gago talaga yun.

When the door slid open, there came a dashing guy with blue luggages

(wow blue), I knew it was Toby because he walked towards our direction.

This guy.. This guy looks familiar but I'm pretty sure we don't know each other.

Mukhang rebelde. Badboy-ish ang hitsura. Parang kakain ng pekpek anytime. Basta ganun yung hitsura. Aakalain mong mas bata kasi yung pananamit niya masyadong preppy/sporty.

Ang kaso niyan, his eyes were plastered at me the whole time..like he was planning to do something bad to me.

?!

Nang makalapit na siya, nag-bear hug sila ni Lester at kiniss niya sa cheeks si Nicole. He came to me and I offered my hand and unconsciously, my mouth half-open.

To my surprise, he ignored my free hand. Instead he put his face very near to mine and looked at me stubbornly.

He licked his lips and bit his lower lip while suppressing a smile. Shit.

Nakikipag-flirt na ata ang gago.

"Hi, I'm Nicole's brot---". He pecked my lips. Blood creeped up to my face.

I feel violated. I feel nice.

Syntax Error.

"Utol! Bakit mo ginawa yun?! Hindi ito France!!" Lester exclaimed.

"He was offering his lips! His mouth was half open." Toby answered.

"Welcome to the Philippines, where people are not used to that." I managed to say.

I looked at him with such embarrassment and he just exhaled and smiled at me, pecking my lips for the second time.
