My 500-Year-Old Boyfriend (M5YOB)

32-The Kiss Quarrel

I smiled as I remember how sweet Kol’s words were before we got to sleep.

“You do realize that I also want to socialize with other people, right?” He cupped my chin. “But only if you allow me.”

“Kol..” My right hand reached for his chin and my left hand travelled  to his shoulder for support as I leaned..closer..

And closer..

Until I kissed him.

So I kissed him!!

Wait, what? Did I really do that?

“Uh-huh.” Honey hair met me.

“Kol!!” I squealed.

His arms are encircled on my waist. He’s pulling me closer and-

“Good morning sa inyo!!” pakantang pagbati ng isang thick woman voice. Saan ngang advertisement meron noon?

When suddenly it dawned to me. “Lizz!!”

“What’s happening here? Bakit ang ingay niyo?” That was Nath’s groggy voice. He’s standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes. “Liz?” hindi niya makapaniwalang sabi nang makita ang babae. “Why are you here? And..what’s with the apron?”

“Coo-coo-coo-cooking?” she stuttered.

“Noreen??” he asked for explanation, but seeing Kol’s hold on me, “Well, in a little while maybe.” And he exited with a menacing smile.

What.Is.With.That? Pucchah!

“Out of here Liz! Now!” I grumbled and she obeyed and closed the door.

“Mean girl..” Kol said with his hoarse morning voice as he ruffled my hair.

“What? That was embarrassing Kol!” I exclaimed.

“But we hardly did anything,” he tried to calm me.

“Yeah right, we both know that, but what do they know? What do they think?” I began panicking.

“They can think all they want, but we know the truth,” he reasoned.

“Shut up! This..” I held his arms then made it free. “is a very compromising position. It’s-”

“Odd?” He let go of me in a sudden stance and I cringe at the sudden lose of contact. He leapt on his feet and looked for his towel. Then proceeded to the bathroom.

Only then, I realize something. He is right. Wala naman talaga kaming ginawang masama. We’re actually still full-clothed, and he was very gentle with the kiss last night, urging me to sleep afterwards, saying I must be tired.

Wait.. Did he think that I’m just bored when I did that? At ngayon-ngayon lang, nagdadabog ba siya dahil ikinahiya ko nang makita kami nina Liz at Nath? Iniisip niya ban a sinabi ko iyon dahil kay Nath? Argh! Ang daming assumptions. Isa lang ang dapat kong gawin. I have to ask him.

And just then, pinagkakatok ko siya sa bathroom.

“Kol!! Mag-usap tayo!! Galit ka ba sa akin?” I waited for an answer but to no avail. “Hoy scary little thing called bat, magsalita ka naman dyan! Ayokong magmonologue dito!” Pero wala pa rin.

 Hay, paano na?

“Kol..” ungol ko. “Please naman o..” sabi ko hanggang sa mawalan na ko ng energy kakakalabog sa pinto.

Moments later, lumabas din siya, fresh na fresh, parang sarap dilain ang waterdrops sa naked chest niya.

“What?” he asked in a dismayed tone pero para akong nabewitch at hindi na makapagsalita. “Like what you see?”

“Ah eh..” sabi ko.

“I have no time for alphabets,” pagsusungit niya pa rin.

Ibang klase rin pla itong mainis. Grabe lang. Kailangan ko yata ng strategy. Hmm.

“Are you planning to see me change?”

With that said, I rushed to the door, but not without saying “Sige, take your time.”
