"Hindi nga kasi pwede." Natatawa kong saad sa kanya sa phone.

"Bakit hindi?" He asked in a baritone voice. "What about you come here in the office?"

I scowled. "At ano naman ang gagawin ko riyan? Nandito nga ako sa skul ni Santhe."

He sighed. "Why can't you baby me? Why is it always my son?" Nagatatampong aniya.

Lalo akong natawa sa pinagsasabi niya. "Baby pa naman talaga si Santhe. Ikaw, gurang na!"

"What? I'm just 28!" He cussed. "Wait 'til I see you. I'll kiss you 'til you tell me I'm not gurang."

I could even picture his smirk.

"Hoy!" Namumula kong saad. "Tumigil ka nga!"

Thinking about his kisses suddenly brought me in a frenzied emotions. Halata sigurado ang pamumula sa mukha ko.

Kapag naulit ang halik niya, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin pa. I got by with our kiss before because I thought he was too drunk. And also because he caught me offguard that time. It was unexpected! I wasn't able to dodge.

Ngunit makakaya ko nga ba talagang umiwas kapag nangyari iyon? I'm not sure..

Kaya kung gagawin man niya iyon ulit.. I don't know how to react! Sa phone pa lang nga niya sinasabi iyon ay namumula na ako! Malamang halos mahimatay na ako sa personal. I am not some teenager anymore to be this giddy with those things but I felt like I am.

With Chad, kissing is normal. Pero noong kay Senechov na, hindi ko na alam, halo-halo ang emosyon ko. It was electrifying and exhilarating, full of goosebumps and tingles in my skin. It was crazier.

I was raised in the States but I'm not liberated. My parents didn't raised me like that. Isa pa'y noong nalaman kong ampon ako, kahit noong una'y hindi ko matanggap iyon, kalaunan ay inalam ko ang pagkatao ko.

I researched about my roots. I learned I am a Filipino. I studied our language early. Kaya matatas na ako sa Tagalog noon pa man. Paminsan minsan nga lang ay nasasanay akong makipag-usap sa Ingles lalo na kapag sina Charlie ang kausap ko.

"But really, love.. I want to have lunch or dinner with you."

That endearment again. My heart is beating so fast whenever I heard it.

"We already had breakfast this morning." I can't help but smile.

I didn't think ganito siya kakulit. There's still so many moods of him I haven't seen.

"Not enough."

"Nakapag-dinner na rin tayo." Dagdag ko pa.

"Tsk, the whole time after my confession, you were just silent. We didn't enjoy that much. Not to mention, the start of our evening was ruined by.."

Napataas ang kilay ko. "..your woman?" Dagdag ko sa pagtigil niya.

He sighed. "My point is.. I wanted to have another dinner with you. Huh?"

"Our dinner before wasn't that bad. I mean after.."

Iyon 'yong nahiga lang kami sa hammock at nanood ng stars. That magical and splendid moment.

"Yes. It was." He agreed. "Damn, I couldn't ask you just like that, huh? Maybe I'll just surprise you then."

I could feel him smirking.

"Hindi na 'yon magiging surprise kung ganoon. Sinabi mo na eh. " Tumatawa kong saad.

I was peeking at Santhe's room while talking to him when I saw a commotion inside. His teacher is in front of him. She's scolding him. What's going on? Napakunot noo ako habang inoobserbahan ang nangyayari. Nakatingin ang iba pang bata sa kanila habang may isang umiiyak. It's that bully kid, si Edward.
