Kabanata 9
Siguro ay kanina pa kulay kamatis ang mukha ko sa sobrang bilis ng kabog ng puso ko.
Hawak pa rin ni Warrion ang baywang ko habang kanina pa pasulyap-sulyap sa akin si Elisse. I noticed her insecurity, may nagsasalita sa harapan at nakaupo kaming magpipinsan sa may table malapit roon.
I noticed Ralph staring at me too, pabalik-balik ang tingin n'ya sa amin ni Warrion while my date is quiet beside me.
"Hey," Tawag ko sa atensyon ni Warrion kaya napasulyap s'ya sa akin. "Pagod ka na?"
"No," He smiled a little, I felt his caressed on my palm again kaya marahan akong sumandal sa balikat n'ya at pumikit.
"You?" He whispered, I felt his nose touching my hair.
"Hindi pa naman," I murmured and looked at him. "Pero may utang ka sa'kin." I grinned when I noticed him froze.
"I only said that--"
"No!" Tinakpan ko ang bibig n'ya at ngumisi. "Walang bawian, sabi mo didiligan mo ko."
"I told you, there is a right time for that."
"E, sabi mo mamaya. Edi mamaya ang right time!" Hagikhik ko.
He stared at me quietly, salubong ang kilay kaya ngumisi ako at pasimpleng humalik sa pisngi n'ya.
"Pasimple ka pa, nagnakaw ka nga ng kiss sa akin! Pakipot pa, crush mo rin naman ako!" Tawa ko.
"You silly woman," He pinched my cheek kaya napatawa ako. Ipinatong ko ang baba ko sa kanyang balikat bago sumulyap sa kanya, namumungay pa ang mata.
"Umamin ka na kasi, Warrion. You like me too, right?" His lips protruded, nakita kong naaaliw s'ya pero pilit na nagseseryoso.
"Nah," He murmured pero mas napangisi ako.
"It's alright, amin na." Tawa ko. "May offer na ako sa'yo."
"What?" His forehead creased.
"You can be my irrigation," I grinned.
"Your what?" Nanlaki ang mata n'ya at maya-maya ay natawa at umiling sa akin.
"Irrigation! Pangdilig! Tutal naman sabi mo--"
"Damn, woman!" I heard his deep chuckle on my ear. "You're unbelievable!"
"Sige na, please..." I pouted. "Pretty please?"
"Let me remind you, I'm your bodyguard--"
"Blah! Blah! Blah!" I stucked my tongue at him.
"Winter--"
"Wala akong naririnig! Wala--" My voice faded when he lowered his head and claimed my lips for a chaste kiss.
Sa sobrang bilis nito ay halos matulala ako at hindi na maramdamang tumama ito sa labi ko. Marahas akong napalunok, nang mag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya ay nakita kong matiim ang tingin n'ya sa akin.
I saw how slowly he sensually licked his lower lip. Napahugot ako ng hininga roon at kinagat rin ang labi ko.
"You kissed me..." I murmured.
"So?" His lip twitched.
"Pero ayaw mo akong diligan!" I hissed at napangisi nanaman s'ya roon at pinisil ang ilong ko.
"There's a right time for that," He sighed. "And...maybe I am not the man to do that." His forehead creased then glance infront of us then smirked.
Maya-maya pa'y lumapit muli at bumulong.
"But no way, I should be that man." He murmured and placed his hand on my back, nakagat ko naman ang labi ko at napasulyap sa harapan at nakita kong nakatitig si Ralph sa akin.
