"You're not going to ask for a fee, but I'm sure you're gonna ask for something in return," sabi ko. Pag-iiba ng usapan. Sigurista ko eh. Sigurado namang hihingi toh ng kapalit.
"Yeah. But I'm sure you can afford it," sabi naman n'ya. Nakatingin pa din yung maganda n'yang mata sa'kin.
"So, where's the challenge? I don't want to do the things I can afford. I prefer things that's out of my way and do everything to afford it," sabi ko naman sa kanya.
"Really? Then tell me what are those things that you can't afford to give me," sabi naman n'ya.
"I prefer to leave you pondering about those," sabi ko naman sa kanya. Mag-isip ka ngayon.
"Hmm. Okay, but if you let me to be your tutor, then you can start comparing my way of teaching to your boyfriend's. But I believe I'm better since I'm in this field for years," sabi n'ya. Dun ba nasusukat yon?
"Did I tell you I like more if my teacher is an amateur? I don't prefer professionals. I don't know why," sabi ko. Wala na kong maisip na pambara ><
"Hmm? I can act amateur if you want," sabi n'ya. Ayaw talaga patalo.
"So, you're good in acting, too? And if in case I let you 'tutor' me, what are those that you can teach me?" I asked. Tignan natin kung anong ituturo mo.
"Anything you want to know," lang ang nasabi n'ya.
"Like? Particularly what?" tanong ko. Sige nga, sagot.
"Like, how to love me back," sabi n'ya. Basag, basag naman ako dun.
Hindi ako sumagot. Tameme ako eh.
"And how to talk back," sabi n'ya. Obviously napansin n'yang natameme ako sa sinabi n'ya kaya hindi na ko nagsalita. Kainis. "And how to stop blushing when there's someone who can make you nervous," no! Pati pamumula ng mukha ko pansin n'ya na.
"You don't make me nervous," sabi ko naman. Wala na talaga kong masabi. "You just irritate me. Nothing more."
"Really?" he asked tapos hinawakan n'ya yung isang kamay kong nakapatong sa table n'ya. Hinatak ko yung kamay ko, baka may makakita.
"How about, teaching me on how to 'avoid people I don't like'?" I asked. Sige, magkakasubukan tayo. "Or how to avoid a very stubborn man?"
He smiled, "Or irresistible man like me, perhaps?" kapal nito! "You can never avoid them. It's either you accept the fact that you can't avoid people you don't like or, if you have no choice, just like them na lang," sabi n'ya.
"I'll think about that advice, Sir. You're a good counselor, you know? Ba't ka nagturo?" tanong ko sa kanya. Sabay tayo. Aalis na ko, intense na ang ambience sa office na toh.
"So, in case you change your mind at maisip mong may magandang maidudulot sayo ang offer ko, call me," sabi n'ya. Utot mo, Sir. Ano ko? Bale? Anong magandang idudulot nang gagawin mo? Name one.
"Magandang maidudulot? Like what?" I voiced what's on my mind.
"Don't pretend you don't know, baby. You'll know it... in the process," he said. Ayan na naman s'ya sa baby, baby n'ya. "Just call me," ulit pa n'ya.
"Okay. I'll think about that tempting offer din," sabi ko naman sabay talikod na sa kanya pero nahablot n'ya yung braso ko. Nakatayo na din pala s'ya? Mabilis ah. Slick Rick.
"And one more thing, I'll teach you on how to kiss me back," sabi n'ya sabay kiss sa lips ko. Isang mabilis na mabilis lang. Rawr! Grabe toh si Sir oh. Walang pinipiling lugar. Pano mo ko tuturuang mag-kiss back? Eh, ang bilis nun. Hahaha! Bagalan mo kaya, try mo lang.
