Apollo

"Ayoko." I answered. Pinipilit pa kasi ni Scylla yung cafe sa valentines day. Kinukulit niya ako hanggang dito sa cubicle ko.

"Sige na Apollo! Lahat naman ng tao sa list pumayag eh! Pati ako! Ikaw na lang talagaaaaa!" Lalo pa niyang kinulitan. I just rolled my eyes at her at pinagpatuloy ang pagsascan sa thesis ko on my laptop.

"Kapag pumayag ka... I might just give you a treat." Medyo seductive niyang sinabi at lumakad papunta sa likod ko. She placed her hands on my shoulder and started rubbing them. Literal na tumigil ang puso at paghinga ko.

"A treat that you will surely enjoy." Binulong niya sa tenga ko. It was so close that I felt her breath. Tngna! Wala na! Di ko na kaya!!

"Fine! Sige, pumapayag na ako! Just give me the papers I need to sign." Bumigay na din ako. She smiled, said thanks, and gave me the papers I need to sign. Great! Just great!

Scylla

Ba't ko ba pinilit si Apollo na pumayag!! Ugh! Its valentines day at open na ang cafe. We are all supposed to be dressed "nicely" kaya yung mga nag-organize ng cafe ang nagdamit sa amin. Halos lahat naman ng guys ay topless eh! Yung iba may bowtie, may necktie, at polo na nakabukas. Tapos kaming mga babae, anything sexy. [See photo for outfit]

Yung akin, but na lang, yung normal ko lang na mga dating. I can wear something like this anyday!

Yung iba, mga dresses, o kaya mini skirts, basta sexy eh.

"One mocha choco frappe topped with whipped cream and one cookie crumble and caramel combo. Order's complete." I joyfully told our costumers as they stared only at me. Yeah! Yun yung purpose kung bakit pili ang magseserve... Para dumugin ng mga tao. Kaya kapag male costumer, female waitress, and vice versa.

So far ok naman. Ang benefit kadi ng cafe ay yung funds at syempre para sa aming mga waiters and waitresses. Para kasi sa amin, wala mang bayad, we still get compliments, admirers, and sweet words.

"Good morning gentlemen. I'm Scylla, and I would be serving you for your short stay. What would you like to order?" I politely asked the group of men who I was tasked to serve. Mukhang mga seniors sila.

"Can I order you? For take out?" He told me. Uh, ok? Hindi kasi mahangin eh noh!

"I'm sorry but you can order something else." I tried to stay polite, patient, and calm as possible. Napahiyaw pa mga kasama niya. Wala kasi! Panis to sa akin! Ako pa!

"Kahit number mo na lang." He smirked at me. Ok! Yun na yun! May mga poicy kaming itinayo nung inaprubahan tong cafe na to, and kasali tong ganito.

"I'm sorry guys pero I think you all have to leave." Talagang pinupush ko ang pagiging polite na kahit pinapaalis ko na sila, nginingitian ko pa rin sila. Pumalag naman yung humihingi ng number ko.

"Come on, babe. I know you want me too." He pulled me close to him. Dinikit talaga niya yung katawan ko sa katawan niya. Aba! Kapal ng mukha ah! I slapped him hard on the face. Medyo nainis naman siya at nagsmirk pa. He was about to force me into a kiss when..

*BOOOGGSSHHH*

"A-apollo!" Nagulat kasi ako na bigla siyang nanapak. Kilala ko si Apollo, kung may kailangan siyang pangalagaan na image, he will do everything. Kaya nakakagulat na nanapak siya. Alam naman niyang pangit tingnan yun bilang CSC president pa man din siya.

"What the fvck! Man! Apollo! I was just joking! Having a bit of fun!" He defended himself from Apollo. Aba! Wala pala talagang hindi nakakakilala sa kumag na to ah!

"Mr. Romane, you don't call that a joke and having fun. You call that harrassment." Sinabi ni Apollo dun sa lalaki. Romane... Alam ko yung apilidong yun ah... Basketball player ata siya ng school.

"Harrassment?! Bullsh1t! Look at her! Hindi ba kaharrass-harrass yung itsura niya?! She was asking for it?!" Galit nang dinedepensahan ni Romane yung sarili niya.

"Can you see the rest of our crew? Ganyan ang dresscode namin. We don't have a choice. And we have a no touch policy unless may permission galing mismo sa taong yun." Inisa-isa ni Apollo yung mali nung Romane na yun. Buti nga sayo! You got served!

Hindi na nakapalag si Romane at umalis ng padabog at galit. Si Apollo naman, tumalikod at tumingin sa akin ng masama, sabay labas sa tent. Lahat kasi ng tables sa loob ng tent na malaki na sinet-up namin. Sa labas nagluluto ang mga tagaluto at nagpapahinga kaming nga waiters and waitresses.

"Apollo?! Apollo, sandali?!" I grabbed his hand.

"Ba't ka sa akin nagagalit? Hindi naman ako may kasalanan nun, tsaka di ko naman ginusto yun?!" I asked him right away.

"H-hindi ko alam?! Well, alam ko na di mo kasalanan, pero di ko alam kung ba't ako nagagalit?!" Inis niyang sinabi sa akin. He looks really pissed off.

"Ptngn!! I'm mad at him and I'm mad at you for no reason! What the fvck?!" He cursed to himself.

"Parang alam ko kung bakit." I smirked at him.

"You're jealous." Asar ko sa kanya. Ahahahaha! Alam kong nagseselos na siya! Ganyan ang nagseselos!

"Fvck! I'm not jealous!" Inis niyang sagot sa akin. Natawa na lang ako.

He suddenly pushed me sa walls nung tent, which is tarpulin wall lang talaga. Gently, kinuwelyuhan niya ako. I didn't feel afriad sa ginawa niya. He inched closer to me. I felt his soft lips land on mine. How can he do this? Ang maging marahas at maingat at the same time?

I guess ito ang dahilan kung bakit walang tumatagal sa kanya ever since at ako lang ang tumanggap sa kanya. He's rough but sweet, he likes to be the leader, the top, and so do I. We compliment each other by controlling one another.

He keeps me from exceeding my limit of being to dominant and confident. He bring out the shyness I have inside of me. Siguro ganun din epekto ko sa kanya. I may have kept him on check.
