Commander Stevenson
Day went passed, hindi ko alam kung masyado ba akong excited sa darating na linggo. Sabado ngayon at nasa huling pasyente na ako. Gaya ng inaasahan ko, napuno ang buo kong clinic ng puting rosas. How would he knows my favorite flower? I smile because of that thought. My tuesday is full of surprises, pagdating ko sa clinic ko ay may white petals na nagkakalat sa sahig, Wednesday, is napuno ang flower vase ko ng white roses. Thursday is a lot of poetry in my mail box, not to mention siya mismo ang gumawa and my friday, may isang daang white roses sa harap ng condo ko.
Paano niya nalaman ang motto ko? '100 is worth than one' At kung nagtataka sa ibig sabihin no'n, goodluck! And today, my saturday. Hindi puting rosas ang bumungad sa akin kundi voice mail, a white roses video with myself.
"Hi, My Psychologist! I always admire you. Love, Uno" His voice is still echoing inside my head. Napangiti ako ulit nawala iyon ng pumasok si Michell. Kahit hindi niya sabihin ang pangalan niya, I know that voice.
I am really confused with his own actions, he said he admire me, yes he is, then what are these gifts? White roses? Hindi ba gawain ito ng isang manliligaw? At take note, I only meet him at the bar, dahil sa Vodka at akala niya siyang ang ino-order ko.
Ano daw?
"Bye, Doc. Ingat po!" Si Michell, I wave to bid my farewell. Mabilis akong pumasok sa aking sasakyan at nagmaneho patungong condo ko. Mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong sumakay akong elevator patungong 25th floor, I heard the ring sound. I immediately come out but before I could take a step.
I saw a silhouette of a man. Leaning in my door's condo unit. Wearing only white round t-shirt, faded jeans and with a white roses in his other hand. I gulped. Oo na, tama na ang bruhilda kong kaibigan. Huwag magsalita ng tapos!
I find him attractive, that's all!
"Hi," Bati niya. He looks so red. I smile.
"Kanina ka pa?" I sounded like normal, kahit naguunahan na ang puso ko. My hands is trembling also, parang hindi ko na alam kung paano ko bubuksan ang condo unit ko. Hell, this is foreign!
"Just in time" That voice, it was deep and manly plus his scent. Oh, damn, I must be fool!
What to do, self?
Gusto kong pukpukin ang ulo ko. Syempre, that guy is waiting for you, Ralia. Show some hospitality, pinoy ka rin! Without a word I open the door. "Pasok ka" I said. He follow me. Okay, I know my condo unit is expensive pero akin rin naman ang pera. Pinaghirapan ko 'to, I have two bedrooms and each one of them is may sariling comfort room and shower. Grey, white and creamy brown is the color of my condo unit.
"So, you need water or food?" I asked. Trying to calm my effing self! He just smile at me, his green eyes is sparkling or guni-guni ko lang? Jusme! Mabilis siyang tumayo at lumapit sa akin, he's tall. Walang panama ang tangkad ko sa kaniya.
"I know I rush things but I am willing to wait. I mean, I admire you for so long enough so I am making my move now. I don't know how to court so I search it online, I know I look so cheesy with those but I never regret it." He said shyly. So transparent, One.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it" I said. Our eyes meet. His eyes is beautiful, I like those eyes.
"You have a nice eyes" I said. Unti-unting sumilay ang ngiti nito sa kaniyang labi.
"So are you free today?" He asked. Hindi ko na rin mapigilang ngumiti. Akala ko ba sa Sunday? "Akala ko bukas?" I asked immediately. He bravely look at me.
"I know but since I am here with you, why not?" He really like to change his mood in quick. Mood swing.
"Okay, c-can you wait?" I asked.
"I always wait for you but I had enough" He said. Ngumiti lang ako bago pumasok sa aking kwarto. Gah! He is really deep sometime. Even he wrote poems for me, his words is lil bit deep. I end my thoughs, what to wear? Okay. Binuksan ko ang closet ko at bumungad sa akin ang mga dresses, skirts, jeans and simple t-shirts. It took me minutes to decide so, I took a simple dress. It was color white with flowers as a design. I put a bb cream in my face and light lipstick and a sandal.
I look at the mirror, good to go!
"Sorry, natagalan ata ako" I said. He is just looking at me, tila ba sinusuri ang bawat detalye ng katawan ko.
"It's alright, let's go" He said. Nauna akong lumabas ng condo at sumunod lang siya. Okay, what's next? Nasa loob na kami ng elevator pero sobrang tahimik.
"So should I bring my car?" I asked. Ramdam ko ang paglingon niya. Damn, pinagpapawisan ako. "Nah, you're with me. Sagot kita" I bit my lower lip.
Damn, even his tagalog is fluent!
We reach the parking lot and a benz is waiting for us. Nauna siyang maglakad, kahit naglalakad siya ay hindi nababawasan ang pagkalalaki nito. He was really massive, look at that biceps, sigurado akong may six or eight packs na abs iyang nasa loob ng white t-shirt niya. Putek, Ralia! Anong pinag-iisip mo!
"Come in" He said. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto at naghintay na pumasok ako. After no'n ay kasama ko na siya loob. Mabilis naming tinahak ang daan, the road is so familiar to me, halos lahat ata ng buildings na nakikita ko ay kabisadong kabisado ko, sa tagal ba naman ng paninirahan ko dito?
"I never thought your quite like this" Saad nito. Hindi ako lumingon kasi feeling ko, mang-hi-hypnotise na naman ang mga berde niyang mga mata.
"Why your eyes color green?" I asked.
"My Father is a German" Napa-ahh lang ako. Seriously, I don't know how to start conversation with him. I am just looking at the city lights of the road, not until his car stop. Sa piyer? What are we doing here? He step out from his car and he open the door for me.
Gentleman. Manly. Mabango. Green eyes.
Siya na ata ang pinaka-dekalidad kong admirer, sa limang taong pagiging single ay hindi ako nauubusan ng admirer. Ewan ko lang kung anong pumasok sa utak ko at napasama ako sa kaniya. This is the first time I entertain a man again. We enter the ship. Hell, this ship is big!
Para itong warship, like sa napanood kong pelikula noon. Battle ship ata 'yong title? I'm not sure. I look at everyone, lahat sila ay nakatayo ng tuwid. Their uniform is familiar to me, with the NAVY in there shirt. Gray shirt and the navy jeans. The high cut boots? Paano ko hindi malalaman? My cousin Yurki is an FBI agent. He explain to me every single thing. Scratch that.
"Good evening, Commander Stevenson and Miss Austevores. Welcome to Ship 2835 Warship Romeo Charlie in sailed under command of Commander One Vodka Stevenson. Have a nice stay, Miss Austevores. May our ship suit your taste"
I stare at him, tama nga si Eresia Catherine. He is a Navy, not just a Navy but a hell of a commander and here I am, starstruck because of him. I'm eating my thoughts now, curiosity kills the cat. Damnit!
