Bunch of MENDOZAs

Chapter 32

Mavie's POV

"Ahm, pagamit naman ako ng CR? Okay lang ba?" I asked the both of them.

"Nakaka-ihi ba yung kwento?" Rain asked and chuckled.

"Bobo talaga." Aki said that made Rain stop. "You can just go upstairs and talk to him."

Paanong nakuha ni Aki yung gusto kong gawin?

"So you just wanna talk to him?" Rain asked.

And it took me seconds to nod.

"Kung sana sinabi mo ng deretso 'di ba para hindi ako namura?" He said in sarcasm and Zained just smiled.

"Nasa terrace lang 'yon. Malabo nga siya eh, takot sa kulog at kidlat pero gustong gustong panoorin yung ulan."

Tumayo nalang din ako at nagpunta sa taas. Honestly, I think I did something wrong to him. Feeling ko may kasalanan ako.

I opened the first door and saw big empty room. Yung kabilang kwarto naman kay Xyzzy, so tama si Zaine, nasa terrace nga siya.

And when I reached the terrace, I saw him topless... smoking.

I faked a cough and he was a bit shocked when he saw me. He threw the cigarette in the bin and smiled.

"Hi?" He said with a smile.

"I thought you don't smoke?"

"Hmm, I smoke in this kind of set up and mood."

"What?"

And he just shook his head.

I went beside him and I noticed a tattoo right where the appendix is, White Hyacinth .

Napansin niya 'kong nakatingin do'n kaya siguro isinuot niya yung shirt niya.

"Malamig 'di ba? Why are you not wearing shirt awhile back?"

He smiled. "I like how the wind touches my body when it's raining." He said with a smile I can't describe.

"Why so?"

"Let's just say it reminds me of someone."

I nodded. "Water lily 'di ba? Hmm, beautiful flower." I faced the sky and watched the rain.

"Yeah, she's really beautiful."

Agad naman akong napatingin sa kanya. "Huh?"

He chuckled. "Why are you here anyways? Ayaw mo na bang titigan yung mukha ni Aki?"

I stared at his side view and realized how beautiful he is.

"Were you serious before Breii?" I asked instead.

Hinarap naman niya 'ko. "Hmm? About what?"

"Yung pangungulit mo sa 'kin, mga pambobola mo, yung mga hirit mo."

"Yeah. Totoong gusto kitang ligawan o maka-usap manlang ng hindi mo 'ko iniirapan." He laughed. "I was very eager actually, 'til I heard- nah. Forget it."

"Ano'ng narinig mo?"

He laughed sexily. "Ang ganda mo talaga 'no?"

I rolled my eyes. "Ano ang narinig mo?"

He looked away and smiled. "You were with your classmates in the canteen when I heard you saying you will never like someone like me... that you'd rather chase someone like Aki. Pinabigay ko nalang tuloy yung ice cream sa lalake na hindi ko naman kilala sa'yo. Damn babe that was painful." He faced me. "You're a proof that angels can also be murderers."
