"KUYA NAMAN. VIRGIN PA AKO. WAG NAMAN O PLEASE. PUTANGINA MO NAMAN KUYAAAAA" nanginginig na sabi ni Pearl.
"SHUT UP! I AM, TOO" he defended.
The next thing she knew, she pushed the guy with all her might until he fell off her bed, with his back having a hard impact against the floor.
"OHMYGAWD ANONG KLASENG HAYOP KA?! OHMY I'M DREAMING..."
"Miss, kalma."
"OHMYGAWD TELL ME THIS ISN'T REAL.."
"Hey. Please kal---"
"OHMYFREAKINGMAMA I SAW AN ANIMAL, NO, A BEAST, TH-THEN IT TURNED INTO A GUY. AAAAAAAAH! A-ANO KA? S-SINO KA? AAAAAAAAH! THERE'S A MONST---"
"NYMPHA, COULD YOU PLEASE! JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH FOR A MOMENT!"
There she stopped. She went back to her senses, bracing herself to reality. But no. This isn't reality.
She stopped.
She stared at him.
Then she again let her mouth blab out of curiousity.
"Sino ka ba? Ano ka ba? A werebutterfly? That's weird. Bakit moko kilala? Why do you know my na---Wait a second. Did you just call me Nympha? Hold on there, mister. No one dared to call me that damn name. Don't call me that n---"
"Are you nuts? Why don't you appreciate your name? Besides, it means bride. So, it's legal for me to call you that. Don't you want to be my nympha?" He winked.
She gasped. She cannot imagine how hideous this guy is. Well, not literally hideous. He has this perfect look.
He's in a black, v-neck shirt that made a perfect match to his fair skin. He was wearing black pants and a pair of Vans. Wow. If he's a beast, then he's a beast with a swag.
He has that perfect black hair, long lashes, emphasized, hot jawlines. He has this perfect smile accompanied with his large, white teeth.
His hazel eyes were dominating hers with a stare till she finally broke it.
Wait, she just blushed. Leche kasi e. Napaka-artistahin kasi masyado ni Kuya.
She sighed and put her two hands up in surrender. She cannot shout anymore. Alam niyang di makakatulong ang pagsigaw.
Pero napaka-unexplainable kasi masyadonmg mga nangyayari. Ngunit pinili niyang kumalma at bumalik sa dati upang gawing explainable ang kung ano mang lecheng nangyayari sa kanya.
"Okay, first of all. Don't call me Nympha. Second, I do not even want to be your nympha---"
"Nako naman. Denying won't help---"
"Can you please cut off your nonsense and explain everything to me? Sino ka ba?"
"Okay, fine. I'm Jethro," then he smiled...again.
"Jethro...who?"
"Jethro...Jethro. Kelangan ko pa ba magkaroon ng apelyido?"
Napabuntong hininga na lamang si Pearl. At mas gumulo pa ang kanyang isipan sa katotohang walang apelyido ang lalaking nasa harap niya. But it made it clear that he's not from here...he's not from earth, maybe?
"Okay fine," she said "Pero ano ka nga?" She added.
"I am...I am a guy. A handsome one."
"Pwede bang itigil mo yang kadeputahan mo at sagutin mo ako nang seryoso?"
"Humans sure do have a dirty vocabulary. Okay okay. I'm somewhat a traveller, or something like I don't know. I pick up people who our dimension needs, and who needs our dimension as well."
"Wait what? So you're here because YOUR FREAKING WEIRD OTHER DIMENSION needs me and I need that as well? Or you just had you stop-over here?" She stood up from her bed, not minding to help Jethro who's still on the floor, then went to her window to have some cold, fresh air.
He stood up. Then went to her direction, then put his face's level to hers, then grinned.
"You know what? You're kinda pretty. Ka-crush crush ka rin ha," he changed the topic.
"GAWD. WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE," she closed her eyes.
"Oh, that's a good idea. Don't open your eyes yet," he said like an exciting child.
"And wh---" before she could continue that 'why' question, she opened her eyes out of shock.
The guy was hugging her, then they were in some kind of whirling atmosphere, or some hypnotizing art, while cold and hard wind are against them, making her want to be hugged by him tightly for protection.
She's kinda afraid of it. She still can't believe that this is happening.
It's somewhat weird that she didn't manage to freak out that hard because of this crazy imagination-like situation devouring her realistic self.
"Shh. Your questions will have answers later dear. Just trust me."
His lips were exactly at her head's level, making him rest it to her hair as comfort, while still giving her a tight hug.
She somehow felt protection and butterflies were on her stomach with his "dear" word.
"Don't be afraid. I was made to protect you."
Butterflies. Yes, butterflies conquered her stomach. It gave her chills. It made her bite her lips with a smile like damn, this guy's soooooooo extra that he can make her kilig in the midst of this strange and scary situation.
