Minah's POV

"Oh ba't nandito kapa?" I asked Red.

Bubuksan ko na kasi yung pinto ng condo ko, nasa likod ko pa rin siya.

"I want to be with you this day." Parang umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha when he said that. Ba't ba ang hilig nitong mag pakilig.

Yup. Nahatid na namin si Angela from her house at eto kami ngayon nakatayo sa harap ng condo ko.

Nagulat ako ng tinusok ng hintuturo niya yung pisngi ko like an innocent child.

"Namumula ka." He said then laugh. Ako namumula? Why? No!

I rolled my eyes as if I am irritated.

"Wala yan. Makati lang mukha ko." I simply said.

Ngumiti siya ng nakakaloko.

"Kinikilig ka sa'kin no?" He asked suspiciously sabay tusok sa tagiliran ko.

"I'm not."

'Oh my god! Si Red ba 'yon?'

Naagaw yung attention namin sa babaeng narinig namin hindi kalayuan.

We saw two girls.

Oh My god! Don't tell me? Gagawin nanaman nila kong photographer.

I immediately open my door. Bago pa makalapit yung dalawang asungot hinablot ko na yung kamay ni Red at hinatak papasok sa condo ko. Then immediately lock my door.

Nasa loob kami ng condo.
I looked at him and nagulat ako when I saw his face. Pucha! Gusto ko nang humagalpak sa tawa, pero..napatingin ako sa kanina niya pang tinitignan.

Agad kong binitawan yung kamay niya when I realized it.

Awkward silence. Tahimik yung buong room.

*dingdong*

Nabasag lang yung katahimkan nang may mag doorbell. I guess it's the two girl.

"Hoy! You know your name suits you well." I said almost laughing.

Nag kunot noo siya.

"What?" He asked irritatedly.

"You're turning red. Your face is turning red." I said while laughing.

Umiwas siya ng tingin from me na parang naiilang.

"Don't stare at me like that." He said irritatedly.

"Kinikilig ka no?" I asked suspiciously. Okay Minah. Nag a-assume ka nanaman.

"Why would I?" Biglang nawala yung ngiti sa labi ko.

Tama nga. Why would he?

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Lumabas ka na nga!" I said. Hinawakan ko na yung doorknob para buksan yung pinto pero pinigilan niya 'ko. He also hold the doorknob causing him to touch my hand.

"No!" He simply said.

"Ha? Umuwi ka na. Mag gagabi na."

"No. Unless you tell me why did you grab me from here." He said.

"Cause you want it. Now you're here. You can go now."

He smile.

"You're not telling the truth. Didn't you?"

Umiwas ako ng tingin. I'm not a good liar.

"I am telling the truth."

Nagulat ako when he push me. Hinawakan niya yung two shoulders ko at sinandal ako sa pader.

He looked straight into my eyes.
Red. Were only fourth year highschool, but yet you're nice in seducing. Please stop seducing me!

Sobrang lapit na ng mukha namin sa isa't isa. Is it really a big deal if I am telling the truth or not?

"I know you're not."

Pucha! Feeling ko matutunaw na'ko sa tingin niya.

Nakita ko sa gilid ng mata ko na ngumiti siya. I can't look at him straight.

"Why can't you look straight into my eyes?" He asked.

Please Red. Stop it!

I pushed him. Tss. Ba't ngayon ko lang naisip na itulak siya? Ang tanga ko talaga.

"Naiilang ako. Okay? So stop doing that to me." I said irritatedly.

He smile.

"Fine. I can't blame you, but I just want you to know that you did the wrong move."

Nag kunot noo ako when he said that.

"What do you mean?"

"You grabbed me from here. Two girls saw you. Tss! Never mind."

"Ano ba kasi 'yon?" Pangungulit ko.

"It doesn't matter, just give me a duplicate key of yours, then I will leave."

"Why would I?"

"Because I want it." He said confidently.

"Hindi porket gusto mo, makukuha mo." I said at nilagpasan niya, papuntang kusina.

Sinundan niya naman ako.

"Fine! Pero hindi ako aalis dito hanggat hindi ko nakukuha yung gusto kong makuha from you." He said.

I looked back at him.

"So anong plano mo?" I asked sarcastically.

"Matutulog ako dito, whether you like it or not." He said.

I smile.

"Then sleep, pero 'wag kang magtataka kung pagkagising mo nasa presinto kana." Nag kunot noo siya.

"It's trespassing." I said confidently.

"It's not. You let me, so you can't call that as a trespassing."

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. Ba't ba kasi gusto mong makuha yung key ko?" I asked.

"So that I can go here anytime."

"Bakit di nalang kaya si Angela yung kulitin mo?" I asked.

"Mas feel kong kulitin ka eh."

I rolled my eyes.

"Tama si Danica I am just your second option." I whispered, but I guess he heard it.

"What?"

"Wala." I simply said.

"Tss! Sinasabi ko na nga ba e. I told you stay away from her." He said irritatedly.

"To whom?" I asked.

"Obviously to Danica. Can't you see? Sinasiraan niya ko from you."

"Masanay ka na do'n at isa pa. Hindi naman masisira yung image mo sa'kin."

He smiled. Yung mga ngiti niya talaga e. The best.

"Talaga lang ha."

"Oo nga. Kaya mabuti pa't umalis ka na dito at pumunta ka na sa condo mo. I wanna rest."

He smile again yung nakakalokong ngiti. Oh Red please.

"Don't you want to rest with me?" He asked. Tss. So clingy.

"No and never. Umuwi ka na." I said then push him.

"Grabe ka naman. Tinataboy mo lang yung isang gwapong tulad ko." He said with a smile.

"Dami mong alam. Umuwi ka na!" I said the push him again.

He laughed.

"Sige na po. Ms. Demi. Uuwi na po ako. Hope to see you tomorrow.

He said before he went out of my condo. Napangiti nalang ako pag kalabas niya.

Pero teka what? See you tomorrow? Eh Saturday bukas e. Walang pasok.

Oops. I remember bukas nga pala, sa birthday party chu chu. Napilit niya 'ko kanina e. Can't resist sa makulit na 'yon.
