23 DEPRESSION
I've wanted you from the moment we met, and if you think sitting next to me in your bra doesn't overwhelm me with desire, you're very wrong. I just don't force myself where I'm not invited.
--(Bones) Jeaniene Frost
Dinala ni Alex si Cat sa resthouse ni Gael sa Antipolo. "I'm leaving. I have an important thing to do. Bert is just around if you need anything. Good luck, Cat."
"Thanks, Alex."
Pumasok si Cat sa bahay ni Gael. Sinenyas ni Bert na nasa kwarto si Gael kaya dumiretso dun si Cat.
Maayos ang kwarto pagpasok ni Cat. Nakaupo si Gael sa sofa. Maayos ang buhok nya. Naka-tshirt na blue sya at torn jeans, at naka-apak lang.
"Hello, angel." bati nya kay Cat.
"What's going on? You seem really healthy." nagtatakang tanong ni Cat.
"What did Alex say?" tanong ni Gael.
"Something like you are wasting your life. But you...you don't look like someone depressed." sabi ni Cat.
Gael raised his eyebrows. "Wow. That's a good one. So, you bought it, huh?"
Tumayo si Gael palapit sa kanya.
Bad trip si Cat. lSo, it was just a lie. I'm leaving." Naglakad sya palabas ng kwarto. Hawak na nya ang doorknob pero mabilis syang napigilan ni Gael. Sinara nito ang pinto at niyakap si Cat mula sa likod.
"You're not going anywhere, angel."
"What the!? Let me go, Gael." Nagpumiglas si Cat pero masyadong malakas si Gael para sa kanya.
"God, Cat. I missed you so much." sabi ni Gael. Hinagkan nya ang buhok ni Cat.
"If you don't release me now, I'm going to scream." Tapang-tapangang sabi ni Cat.
Bumitaw sa pagkakayakap si Gael. "You can scream all you want. This room is soundproofed. And Bert left so we have the whole house to ourselves." sabi ni Gael sabay smirk.
Humarap si Cat kay Gael. "I'll just call my..." Na-realize nyang wala ang telepono sa bulsa ng shorts nya.
"Did Alex mention how we met? She was a pickpocket turned model." Amused na amused ang expression sa mukha ni Gael.
"Then I'll just walk or commute or whatever." Naiinis na si Cat.
"You've been here before, Cat and you know that's not an option."
"This is kidnapping, Gael." sabi ni Cat.
"I have CCTV at the gate. You came here out of your own volition."
"Argh. I hate you! What do you want, Gael?" inis na tanong ni Cat.
"Spend the night with me, Cat." seryosong sabi ni Gael.lpl
"What!? I can't do that!" sabay pwesto ng kamay ni Cat in a defensive stance.
"Actually, I was just thinking of dinner, movie, chatting." sabay tawa ni Gael. "Even if you'd like to do THAT, I wouldn't comply. Don't get me wrong, you are really attractive but you're still jailbait, angel."
Namula si Cat {Hay Cat kung ano-ano kasi ang iniisip mo}.
"I really like it when you blush; makes me want to do things with you." dire-diretsong sabi ni Gael.
{Deym. Baka konti na lang bumigay na ko. Bakit kasi ang gwapo nito? Waaaa} Tumalikod si Cat. "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
"Ok, angel. Let's go. I already cooked dinner before you came." Hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Cat at hinila nya ito sa kusina.
