Ang Baklang Hopeless Romantic (GayxBoy)

Chapter 3: If You Were A Boy

Dom's PoV

Binuhat ko na si Jordan sa posisyon na para ba kaming bagong kasal. Yung pagbuhat sa bride ng groom. Medyo may kabigatan ang baklang 'to! Kahit slim siya, ang bigat parin! Buti na lang at gabi na, walang ibang tao ang makakakita sa amin. Nakakatakot lang kasi ang parusa dito 'pag nahuli ka at saktong oras ng curfew. Isama mo na din ang mapanghusgang mata ng mga tao.

Since 8:30 PM palang naman, hindi pa naman kami siguro tatanggalan ng foam ng kama namin. Sa isang tulad ko, nakakatakot na 'yon. Hindi ako sanay matulog sa sahig or kahit man lang sa banig. Curfew starts at 9 PM, it may sound early but that's how it is. Kung sa buhay ko noon ay pwede akong umuwi ng madaling araw, dito hindi na puwede.

Sa paglalakad ko, sinalubong ako ng mga aso ko. Sina Chuji at Jinji. It may not look like it dahil sa ugali at hitsura ko, mahilig talaga akong mag-alaga ng aso. If anyone out there who's looking for a boyfriend na bad boy pero animal lover, it's me. I'm the standard.

"Oh? Bakit Naman Nandito Kayo?" Last time I remember na nasa dog house naman sila. They were just staring at me wagging their tails. Interesado ata dito kay bakla. Tumuloy nalang ako sa paglalakad habang buhat itong baklang 'to nang maihatid ko na. Mahirap naman maabutan ng curfew and my dogs followed.

After a while, nasa tapat na ako ng unit niya. It was quite a struggle na abutin yung door knob dahil nga buhat buhat ko pa itong baklang 'to. My arms were getting sore dahil sa bigat nito ni Jordan. I hurriedly placed him on his bed kasi 'di ko na din talaga kaya ang bigat.

I was about to let him go kaso his arms are wrapped around my neck and he's not even letting go.

"Huwag ka na umalis, please." Bulong nya while forcefully pulling me towards him. This is awkward. Magkalapit na ang mukha naming dalawa at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ako kinakabahan.

I can describe the feeling now as intense. My left hand on his chest and my right arm's catching his head. My heart's beating so fast and I don't know what's going on.

"Stay with me, please." He said as if he's moaning and pleading at the same time. Suddenly, weird thoughts came into my mind. I should stop.

I was about to let go at kahit na alam kong hindi naman ako makakawala, I still tried. I tried na pumiglas. I need to calm down to make sure na he'd be peacefully sleeping. I decided na humiga nalang din sa tabi niya.

"Fine, hihiga nalang din ako." I said.

Finally, tinanggal niya na din ang mga braso niya sa leeg ko. My right arm still catching his head. He wrapped his arm around my waist making me come closer to him. Bago pa maproseso ng utak ko, we're about to cuddle. That was fast.

"If I were a boy." sabi ni Jordan. Although I know he's about to sing, my mind worked instantly and I thought Beyonce. I was waiting for him to continue the lyrics but the silence was about to be awkward so I'll continue instead.

"I think I could understand"

"Yes, kantahin mo please." he said pleadingly.

If  I Were A Boy,

Even Just For A Day

I'd roll outta bed in the morning

And throw on what I wanted and go

While singing, I thought what a joy to watch this one sleep peacefully. His face is so angelic, I can't even remember I made fun of this gay dude. It seems I now have a soft spot for this person.

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I'd kick it with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it.'

Cause they'd stick up for me.

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I'd be a better man.

I'd listen to her'

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted'

Cause he's taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy.

"Ang galing mo paring kumanta Lee. Thank you." he said while smiling as if he was having a beautiful dream. Last time I checked, my name is Domi Jake Jensey. I wonder who's this Lee he's talking about? I'm quite dismayed. I'm the one who's here and he doesn't know my name already.

It's making me feel uneasy. I know I can't just be bothered by a name of I don't know who. Part of me wants to be mad, but part of me is at peace just by being with him. I should be unbothered but it turns out, I am bothered. What's happening to me?
