Chapter Twenty Nine
Better Than A Kiss
"Go away, Achaia," I said the moment he popped out of nowhere again.
He smiled at me. That freaking annoying smile. I rolled my eyes at him. "Ano ba? Alis nga d'yan. I'm going to be late for my next class."
"Where were you last night?"
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Nasa bahay?" I said unsurely. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan bakit pati naman doon ay curious siya. Tatay ko ba siya?!
"You weren't out? You sure?" he asked, taking a step closer to me.
Inilagay ko ang index finger ko sa noo niya para ilayo ang mukha niya sa akin dahil masyado na siyang malapit. "I'm sure. At saka ano naman ang pake mo kung lumabas nga ako last night? Boyfriend ba kita, ha?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.
He frowned at that. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong matawa sa itsura niya ngayon. Mukha siyang bata na inagawan ng candy! Huh, suits him right. At least kahit papaano nasira ko na ang araw niya.
Maybe, I should use that phrase more often.
He shook his head before his face brightened up again. It was now my time to frown. Bakit ba sumaya nanaman siya? Dapat annoyed na siya!
"Yes, I am not your boyfriend," he confidently said, almost as if he was so proud of it.
"Okay?" I said.
"Because I am your husband."
Mas lalo lang akong sumimangot, if that was even possible. "Annoying," I muttered before I walking past him.
Hindi pa ako nakakaisang hakbang palayo ay hinawakan niya na ako sa palapulsuhan at ibinalik sa dati kong pwesto. "Ano ba?!"
He smiled again.
God, could he be more annoying than he already is?!
It was the pa-cute kind of smile this time. Oh, boy, what stunt is he trying to pull now? I could never understand what's going on in that annoying head of his.
He pointed his index finger to his other cheek. "Where's my goodbye kiss, wifey?"
My jaw dropped.
Seryoso ba siya?!
The audacity of this tiunggo!
He wants to play this game? Fine! I'll play along! Hinding hindi ako magpapatalo sa kanya!
I smiled sweetly at him. "Oh, right. I almost forgot about your kiss."
Mukhang nagulat siya sa sagot ko pero dahil doon ay mas lalo lang siyang ngumiti. Inilapit ko nang bahagya ang mukha ko sa kanya bago ako bwumelo para sampalin siya nang malakas.
I slapped him so hard that almost everyone around us heard it.
Napatigil sa paglalakad ang mga tao at tila ba hindi makapaniwala na nagawa kong sampalin ang kanilang master.
And as always, my motto for the day: like I care!
Nanatili si Tiu na nakapaling ang mukha sa kabilang banda dahil sa lakas nang impact ng sampal ko.
I smiled at him before gently patting his now-swelling cheek. "I guess that's better than a kiss, right, hubby?" I even chuckled before finally leaving him.
You played with the wrong bitch, Achaia Tiu.

I felt satisfied the whole day. To the point na wala atang makakasira ng mood ko. Ang saya saya ko lang talaga, nothing could make my mood bad.
