One thing that dawned unto me and the sole reason why in a sudden, I felt so ashamed about myself is when I realized I've been in a piggyback ride with this guy ever since I woke up! Hiyang-hiya at nag-iinit pa ang pisngi ko nang bumitaw ako sa pagkakakapit sa kanya at bumaba.
I cleared my throat to bring back the poise I lost.
"But how? Eh tulog ako?" Tumayo ako nang matuwid, calming my tensed nerves as I gazed at him— still embarrassed with my very vulgar action.
"You sleepwalked," he answered in a monotonous tone as he stood up straight too. His eyes held fascination as they met mine, dagdag pa ang bahagyang paggalaw ng kanyang kilay na parang may nakita siyang nakatatawa.
I gave him a warning look, pinaghalong iritasiyon sa kanyang walang kwentang sagot at sa pagkakapahiya na rin. I'm not usually like this. I don't care whether people can be nosy like him, or any bad shot at me for that matter. Kahit ayaw kong nilalakipan ng sarkasmo ang pagsagot sa akin, nagagawan ko naman ng paraan ang pagiging sibil.
But I don't know. Binibigyan ko nang masyadong atensiyon ang baliw na lalaking 'to. I am actually giving him the privilege to annoy me big time!
"Joke! I carried you at my back. Don't worry, it wasn't really hard since you're quiet... small." Agad niyang pagbawi dahil na rin siguro sa nakitang pagbabanta ko sa kanya. When he said the last sentence, it seemed so embarrassing, especially because the way he raked a look on my body was definitely off the hook.
Pero agad rin iyong napawi nang mag-sink in sa akin ang sinabi niya. Ako? Maliit? Nang-iinsulto ba siya?
"I'm not worried," nasabi ko na lang, wala ng planong makipag-argumento sa kanya tungkol sa'king katawan.
"Admit it. It was really comfortable, wasn't it?" Nakapaskil na naman ang conceited niyang ngiti sa isang iglap. My cheeks heated up but I managed to stay calm.
"I don't think so." I raised my brow at him pero hindi man lang nawala ang ngisi niya.
I really wanna snap that and everything about him!
"Oh no, dear. I clearly remembered how tight you clung unto me like I'm your treasured teddy. I am confident I gave you the most comfortable back in the world." I felt my cheeks heat up more. This guy and his darn mouth!
Naalala ko tuloy ang teddy bear na palagi kong katabi matulog... That would be too creepy if it was Raven.
"It doesn't matter what you think. It is what I felt. You can't just insist me something if I dont even remember anything, since I'm asleep." I tried to sound logical. Alam kong may punto ako. Pero alam ko ring mas may punto siya. Kung hindi ako naging komportable sa likuran niya, nagising na ako kung sakali.
"Oh yeah. You're right. But I'm still comfortable, that's it. If you weren't, dapat nagising ka..." He raised his brow at me, his eyes squinting at me like a curious kid. Lihim akong napalunok do'n.
"But you didn't. In fact, you were sleeping peacefully. Baka hindi mo nga alam kung ano nang pinaggagawa ko sa'yo..." My eyes widen in panic. I don't really want to assume but the brute gave me a malicious look that I can't help it!
"What? What did you do to me?!" Bahagyang tumaas ang boses ko, sobrang bilis pa ng pintig ng aking puso. Papatayin ko talaga siya! I should've known!
Walang lalaking mapagkakatiwalaan!
"Nothing. Don't worry, I don't take advantage to a sleeping woman. Even if she could really be... Irresistible." He winked bago naunang naglakad. My almost ready to battle facade was pushed down the well immediately after hearing his statement. Napakunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Kunot na kunot.
