Obnoxious Oxygen

Chapter Six

"Thank you," those were the first words I uttered when Oxygen stepped out of the room. I ignored the fact that he's wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants with a bath towel hanging on his shoulder, kissing its way to his chiseled chest, ends touching his torso.

Frowning, he made an eye contact with me as if trying to fathom my words. Is it really surprising that I'm thanking him? "Anong sabi mo?"

"Oxygen, I'm not gonna repeat myself" I rolled my eyes and went back to watching TV. I'm sure he heard it, he's just teasing me around.

The other side of the couch bounced when he occupied it, I startled when he moved on my side. Close, nah, closer as in so close to me. Our elbows touching, I looked at him with full annoyance but he's grinning at me.

"Oxygen, move!" I snapped.

Oh, he moved. But instead of moving away, he moved closer to my side.

"Sure," he winked.

His scent filled my nostrils, mixture of clean and fresh smell of his shower gel and musk, masculine in every sense. Oxygen De Salvo smells rich, sexy and sensual. Much as I'd like to ignore that, it can't go unnoticed. That's one thing about him that no one's gonna ever miss.

"Natawagan mo na ba si Kuya, baby girl?" He mocked.

I hate it that he's making fun of how Zander is treating me. That's not funny because it's just normal. Well talking about normal, sure that Oxygen De Salvo is everything but normal.

"Wag mo na antayin pa na siya tumawag sayo, ayoko ng drama." Walang pasabi na inagaw niya sakin ang chips na hawak ko, he grabbed a handful of chips and started masticating it greedily.

"Gross," I grimaced. Although I know he's doing it on purpose, a purpose to annoy me. With the grin on his face, surely this De Salvo is setting a new goal in life and that's to freak the hell out of me. "Gluttony is a sin."

"Nope," he chuckled. "Salt is asin."

It took me a few seconds before I understand his lousy joke, if it can be considered as joke. "Funny."

I was about to turn my attention back to what I was watching when I remembered something, I looked at him. His eyes were directed at the television.

"Where are you sleeping tonight?" I asked.

"Sa ibabaw mo, pwede ba?"

"Bastos mo!" Bago ko pa napigilan ang sarili ko ay nanggigigil ko nang natapik ang kaniyang bibig, bahagya siyang nabigla ngunit agad ding napahalakhak.

"Bastos nakahubad," pamimilosopo pa niya.

"You're shirtless!" I reminded him.

"Ng buo! Gusto mo ba pakitaan kita ng bastos?" He moved his body to face me, I grimaced when he did some winking and lip licking with biting something so eeeeew! "Arte mo."

"Oh, fuff!" I even covered my mouth with my hand, acting like I'm so disgusted that I wanna vomit my stomach out.

"Ulul, fuff pinagsasabi mo dyan" humalakhak na naman siya. Bahagya siyang umusog sa kabilang bahagi ng couch at itinutok na ang atensyon sa panunuod.

I decided to do the same, since I don't think there's a possibility that Oxygen will answer my question properly. Well, this guy is never proper. I like the movie, it hooked my attention, ganoon din si Oxygen na nanatiling tamihik habang nanunuod. Lilingunin lamang niya ko kung aalukin niya ko ng chips, as I can see it, it's his favorite too.

After the movie, Oxygen stood up. Pointing the remote on the television, scanning another movie to play. Mukhang wala pa siyang balak matulog, well hindi pa rin naman ako inaantok. And instead of spending the rest of the night thinking about my heartbreak, I rather watch another time worthy film.
