Chapter FOUR

First Kiss

He brought me to a room that full of different paintings of the famous paintors. Isa-isa ko itong pinagmasdan habang nakasunod sa akin si Ivan. Bukod sa dim lights na nasa ceiling ay may spotlights na nakatutok sa bawat painting para lubusang  makita ang bawat detalye nito. At kahit na ang mga hindi masyadong mahilig sa arts ay tiyak na humanga pa rin sa mga paintings na ito.

"Maganda talaga." I heard him utter those words kaya nilingon ko siya, kung anong painting nga ba ang tinutukoy niya. But to my surprise hindi sya sa painting nakatingin kundi sa akin mismo. 'The nerve of this guy!'

"Sinaktan ka ba niya?" gulat naman akong lumingun ulit sa kaniya.

"What? Bakit mo nasabi?" I can't help but questioned him.

"Ang tabang kasi ng reactions mo sa mga papuri ko. You know, your like a cold fish."

"I'm not." I protest. This old judgemental guy.

"Then let's find out!" he said meaningfully with a smile on his lips protruded at unti-unting lumapit sa akin. Hindi ko alam kong ano ang ibig niyang sabihin. Lalo pa siyang lumapit sa akin, my heart skip it's beat ng malapit ng magtama ang mga labi namin at biglang bumukas ang pinto.

"What the fucking hell!" halos mapamura ako.

Thia stood up near the door and look at me angrily before she leave without saying anything. Parang gumuho ang pader sa lakas ng pagkakasara niya sa pinto.

"Holy saint! Hindi ako mapapatawad sa babaeng iyon!" I said hystericaly.

"Don't mind her Cath, she's just insane." pag-aamo niya sa akin.

"Ikaw kasi ehh, this is all your fault!"

"Hindi ko kasalanan iyon. You provoked me."

"Bakit ako? Ikaw 'tong namimilit na sumama ako sayo, tapos ngayon ako ang sisi....." before I could continue my sentiments, nakataas na ang kaniyang dalawang kamay bilang pagsuko.

"Okay, okay. Sorry na. I just can't help myself to kiss you."

"Pwes, stop it! Control your self 'cause I'm not your's." I said to him before marching near the door.

"Where are you going?" habol niya da akin.

"I want to go home."

"Sige, mabuti pa nga'y umuwi na tayo."

Pagkatapos naming nagpaalam, agad na kaming tumulak palabas ng mansiyon. I saw Thia standing in the hallway, the anger on his face didn't fade as we passed by.

Nakahinga lang ako ng maluwang ng nasa loob na kami ng SUV ni Ivan. I didn't bother to start a conversation with him because I'm so preoccupied what just happens to us earlier.

"Sorry talaga kanina. Ang sarap mo kasing asarin." he faced me and put his hands on the armrest.

"Bakit ba gustong-gusto mo akong asarin?" I asked him with an impatient tone.

"Cause I find you more pretty and beautiful when you got pissed off." he said and close the space between us.

"What are you doing Ivan!" I feel that there's an electricity running through my viens. Ngayon lang ako nakadama ng ganito.

"Settling unfinished business!" he level my eyesight and look me straight in my eyes. I cleared my throat. Ni isang salita walang lumabas sa aking labi. He smiled at unti-unting ibinaba ang mukha sa akin at marahan akong hinalikan. I can't help but close my eyes and felt his lips against mine. I felt undefined feelings. I felt butterflies inside my stomach.

Isang nakakasilaw na liwanag ang gumulantang sa amin. It last one second and it fade.

"Thank you Mr. Ramirez!" the photographer shouted before leaving.

"Shit!" sabay naming sabi ni Ivan. Agad niyang pinaandar ang kotse  pero huli na ang lahat, agad ng nawala sa aming paningin ang photographer.

'Ramirez! Ivan Ramirez! What the fucking hell!' that's the time when I realize that I'm in danger! 'Holy saint! Ano ba 'tong gulong napasukan ko?'
