Mamili ng Isang Lalaki, Karen

Ikaanim na Gatas

Ikaanim na Gatas

I'm here at my condo, watching For Hire: A Damn Good Kisser. This is Eydee's book na ginawang teleserye. At ang matindi pa, it starred Jasmine Curtis and Kierwin Larena.

I watch this every Thursday. Today's episode is about Andy's birthday. I love this scene on the book but I just can't focus myself.

"Are you really alright, Karen? Para kang ewan diyan eh. Seriously, you're creeping me out!" Tanong ni ate Queen sabay subo ng popcorn. Feeling nasa sine!

Do I look like I'm alright?! Hell, no! I am not alright. Weeksary na ng pagkawala ko ng maayos na tulog because of that Clarence Perez!

Hindi ko nga alam how he got my number. He keeps on calling me every freaking late hour of the night just to ask me if I want his banana!

Ang bastos talaga ng lalaking 'yun! It would have been better if he asked me if I could be his girl.

What?! Forget that I just said that.

"Aalis muna ako," I said to ate Queen and she just shrugged.

I made my way to Barado. I haven't been here, honestly. I just texted Nathalia earlier and she said, "Za barado! You shoiuld go thwre!"

Here we go again on her typos! Seriously, I have to at least receive an award for being able to comprehend her text messages.

I dismissed the thought and made my way inside the bar. It was only 11 in the evening but the people are already wild. Tama ba 'tong napuntahan ko? Nathalia said Barado. Mukha namang hindi typo kasi I have already heard about this place.

I scanned the crowd, hoping to see a familiar face. But all I can see is Clarence's face. Juicecolored!

Get back to your purpose, Karen! Get drunk at least just for tonight. Well, not too drunk. Just enough na kahit ano pang ring ni Clarence sa cellphone ko mamay, hindi ako magigising.

I went to the bartender and ordered margarita. He gave me my order and I thanked him.

I took a sip and stared into nowhere. The feeling that I'm having is seriously creeping me me out. Damn it!

I admit it, attracted ako sa kanya. Who wouldn't be? Gwapo, oozing with sex appeal, idagdag mo pang owner ng maraming companies.

I hate hearing his voice, but at the same time, I love hearing it too.

I am bothered and irritated by his presence but I am longing for his touch.

I felt safe lalo na nang yakapin niya ako sa Oceanarium. I felt like I was loved.

Juicecolored! Am I falling for him?

I shaked my head to clear the thought away. No, no, no, no! I am not falling for Clarence! Karen, ano ba?! You barely know him, for the love of patola!

This just can't be! I am not falling for him. I should not be. And if I'm really falling for him, I had to stop it. I have to.

But I can't just get off my head what happened pagkatapos namin ihatid si Danie at Cyra.

"Thanks for earlier," I said before I could even stop myself.

Nasa loob pa rin kami ng kotse niya. Ayaw ko ngang magpahatid pero sobrang kulit lang ng lahi ng lalaking 'to at hindi tumigil hangga't hindi ako pumapayag.

So to end the argument I know I would never win at, um-oo na lang ako.

The next thing happened so quickly. Nagulat na lang ako when I felt his lips on mine.

I wanted to push him away. I knew that I had to. But my strength betrayed me. Para bang hinigop ni Clarence lahat ng lakas ko. And before I knew it, I was kissing him back. It wasn't aggressive and needy. It was a tender kiss.

After what seemed like eternity, he pulled away and smiled. His lips which were naturally red, became redder. I blushed profusely. Hindi ako makapagsalita.

Nahihiya ako pero alam kong ginusto ko rin 'yun in some ways. I opened the door of his car and went inside the condo.

That was my freaking first kiss! I should be mad at him for getting it, but I can't.

Si Sic nga na supposedly mapapangasawa ko na, hindi pa ako nahahalikan. Ugh. Sabagay, bakla si Sic. So there's no use in comparing it to him.

I was about to finish my glass of margarita but I became dizzy and my vision became blurry. Seriously? It's just margarita. I'm used to drinking it, so what the hell?

I had to go home. Pero sa lagay ko ngayon, it seems impossible!

"Tss. Admit it, you put a drug on her drink!" I heard a guy say.

"Oh, so what if I did? Everyone who comes here at Barado wants to get laid anyway," sagot ng isa pa.

"Shut it kung ayaw mong lumipad to the moon and never go back," banta ng naunang lalaki.

I felt him drag me out. He asked me where my car is and I pointed it to him.

"Where do you live?" tanong niya. His voice sounds familiar. "Hey, I am asking you. Saan ka nakatira?"

"S-sa..."

And before I could even say the words out loud, everything went black.
