For Hire: A Damn Good Kisser (PUBLISHED)

12th Chapter

Chapter 12

I'm freaking nervous. It felt like nausea, 'yun bang feeling na mangyayari ulit 'yung nangyari dati.. I remembered the time nung kami pa ni Jarred, bago pa kami magkagaguhan. Nung time na hinalikan niya ako at sinabihan ng parang tuod. That incident started the series of unfortunate events in my life. The incident that made me who I am now, a stronger one.. My thoughts were interrupted by none other than.. ANDY!

"'Di mo naman ako kailangang isipin eh. Nandito naman ako sa tabi mo," he said.

"Yeah, you're so full of yourself," I hissed.

"I'm really full. Busog nga ako eh. Ikaw nagugutom ka ba? Kain tayo?"

"Pilosopo! Bakit ba engineering course ang kinuha mo? Mas bagay kang mag Law. Tiyak lahat ng kaso panalo ka. Ang dami mong alam eh."

"Ayoko, 'pag nag law ako, hindi ako sa St. Claire's mag aaral, malamang ipapadala ako ng tatay ko sa America. At kung nangyari 'yun, kawawa ka naman.."

"At bakit naman ako naging kawawa?"

"Syempre hindi mo ako makikilala, at kung hindi mo ako nakilala, hindi mo ako mahahalikan, at kung hindi mo ako nahalikan, kawawa ka naman, para kang nawalan ng napakalaking pagkakataon."

I chose not to engage conversation with him, tiyak talo na naman ako. Tss. Ang galing niya, nag aral kaya siya ng reverse psychology? Inaamin ko naman gwapo siya! Pero kailangan bang ipagduldulan yun?

Finally, we arrived. Bubuksan ko na sana yung pinto kasi for sure, hindi naman ako pagbubuksan nitong kasama ko. Pero hinawakan niya yung kamay ko.

"What? Bababa na ako, can't you see?"

Pero instead of letting go of my hand, pinatay niya yung ilaw sa kotse niya. Ang dilim na. Andito pa naman kami sa parking lot at 5 pm na. So ang dilim na talaga.

"Hey, what's your problem? Why did you turn off the light?"

"He put his finger on my lips."

"Hush. Just feel the moment and let your lips move," he whispered.

Then he cupped my face and kissed me on the lips. He is kissing me torridly. I can feel the intensity of his kiss. But he stopped.

"Open your eyes, sweetheart," he said.

Nakakahiya, he caught me while my eyes were still closed. Iniisip siguro nitong nagustuhan ko.

Oh well, fine, I liked it.

"Sorry. I'm not good with this kind of stuffs," I said

"Kaya mo nga kinuha yung service ko 'di ba? I'll teach you the different kinds of kiss that I know," he replied gently.

"But what if hindi talaga ako matuto?" I asked. "I'm not destined to be good with this thing."

"Hahaha. You're pulling down yourself. Sweetheart, in kissing, there are no rules. You just need to feel the moment and let your body response."

"What if my effin' body didn't respond?"

"Then I'll give my best kiss to make that body of yours respond."

And with that, he kissed me again.

Hinalikan niya ako, hinalikan ko din siya. I don't know but I think my lips are starting to like this thing called kissing. This is taking too long. I felt his hands going inside my dress. I'm not yet ready for this. With that, I pushed him.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"You're going beyond the limit, Mr. Guzman," I told him.

"Ms. Ferrer, as stated on the contract, no. 3. In case one or both of you gave in to your sexual urges, no complain or protest will be entertained."

"For your information, I DIDN'T GIVE IN TO SEXUAL URGE."

"Come on, umamin ka na, muntik na nga eh. You pulled me closer, and you thrust your tongue inside my mouth. Don't you dare deny that."

"You—You, Bastard!"

I immediately went outside his car. Grabe, mapapatay niya ako sa sobrang inis! That guy is pissing me off. He's really getting on my nerves. Bakit ba lagi na lang akong natatalo sa kanya? Isa akong Dean's Lister for crying out loud!

'Di nagtagal sumunod na sa'kin si Andy. At ang kapal talaga ng mukha, inaakbayan pa ako.

"Manyak ka talaga. Chasing ka ng chansing," I muttered.

"Chansing na ba tawag mo dito?"

"Malamang, ano ba tawag dito? Pagiging friendly?"

"Oo naman. Kung chansing na ang tawag dito, pa'no na kaya kung chinansingan na talaga kita? Baka rape na ang itawag mo dun."

"Bakit? Paano ka ba magchansing? Nakikipag sex ka?" I asked.

"Paano mo nalaman? Don't tell me nagreresearch ka tungkol sakin?" he answered teasingly.

"Seriously? Ang sex ay chansing lang para sa'yo?"

"Yep, what's wrong with that?"

This man's really dangerous. Kailanan kong umiwas ng konti kung gusto ko maging intact pa ang virginity ko.

At dahil sabi niyang sign lang ng pagiging friendly ang pag-akbay, pinabayaan ko na siya, at baka magalit at ako'y chansingan. Mahirap na.

Pagdating namin sa harap ng ATM, hindi pa rin niya tinanggal ang pagkaka-akbay sakin.

"Andy, can you get your arms off of me? Mag wiwithdraw ako in case you didn't notice"

"Ang taray talaga nito."

Buti naman at tinanggal niya yung pagkaka-akbay sa'kin. Nakahinga na ako ng maluwag. Nakapag withdraw na din ako ng pera para pambayad kay Dave.

Pabalik na kami sa Yellow Cab. Walang nagsasalita. Naalala ko na naman yung nangyari kanina. Nakakahiya. I broke the silence.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Nagtatanong ka na 'di ba?" parang si Cyriel lang ang kausap ko ah.

"Tss. Bakit mo ako hinalikan? Hindi ko pa naman napipirmahan 'yung contract."

"Yeah, I know."

"Alam mo naman pala eh. Bakit mo pa 'ko hinalikan?"

"Gusto kitang halikan with my own will and not because of the contract," he answered simply.

"You like me?" I asked.

"Hahaha. Don't think much. Isipin mo na lang, freebie 'yun."

Then we arrived to our destination...
