Titig na titig ako sa pregnancy test na binigay sa akin ni Shiela kagabi habang kumakain ako ng almusal. I decided not to use it yet dahil kinakabahan ako sa magiging resulta. Ayokong ma-stress ngayong araw dahil may turo pa ako kay Thea.
Pero mukhang hindi ako papayagan ng tadhana na maging stress-free ngayon araw. I glanced at the clock. Fifteen minutes na lang pala ang oras para mag-biyahe ako. I was sure as hell that I will come late kaya binilisan ko na ang kilos ko.
I was dialing Thea's number noong lumabas ako sa pinto. I stopped in my tracks when I saw him. "Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Pagmamaldita ko habang nakapamewang.
Matagal bago siya sumagot. "Ahm, Miss Yvonne? It's Thea, you called me?" Nanlaki yung mata ko noong narealize kong nasagot na pala ni Thea yung tawag at narinig niya yung sinabi ko. I mentally slapped my face. "Uhhh... Thea, I'm sorry, uhm, I just called to say that I will be late. Siguro mga ten thirty na ako makakapunta. Is it okay?" Napakagat ako ng labi.
I stared at him while waiting for Thea's anwer. "It's okay, Miss Yvonne. Late na rin akong nagising kasi." Then she giggled. Napangiti naman ako. That cute little lady.
I ended the call and faced the man in front of my apartment. "Anong ginagawa mo rito?" I had to ignore the fact that he's looking sexy even though he's wearing the same shirt since yesterday.
"I came here to say sorry."
"Palagi ka na lang bang magso-sorry kapag sasadyain mo ko? Akala ko ba hindi na tayo magkikita?" I rolled my eyes at napahawak ako sa kamay ko na may konting pasa lang naman. Sinundan naman niya yun ng tingin. "Don't worry, I will not press charges against you. Hindi ako ganon kababaw." Paliwanag ko. "Mabilis lang talaga ako magkapasa."
He looked angry again. "I'm sorry." Bulong niya, at ikinainis ko yon.
"I said it's fine." Sumenyas ako ng pataboy. "Chupi na. Go."
He cleared his throat. He looked so... (hot) ... hesitant. "Listen, what happened betw—"
"Okay na. Nalimot ko na yon. Mawawala rin ang pasa."
"It's not about that."
Ah. Okay. I know what he meant. "About dun sa... sa one night stand thing?"
I watched as his eyes smiled. "Yes, about that one night stand thing."
I tried so hard to remain my composure. "Anong meron dun?"
He seemed baffled. But then he said, "If you want me to say sorry about that night, I can't. I will not apologize for something that was both beautiful and... sexy." Jusko po, bigyan niyo ko ng hangin. "You know, when you happen to come across something like that, it's hard to just say sorry about it."
Para akong nag-blush on gamit ang plantsa sa sobrang init ng pisngi ko. I bite the insides of my cheek and pretended that his words didn't affect me. "Yun lang?"
