It's already nine in the evening but this punk is still asleep. I checked the time on my wrist as I tapped my foot on the floor.
Gah. My father is probably looking for me right now. And great! I lost my phone and I don't know where did I put it.
Maybe above the fence? I asked myself unsurely, trying to calm myself down.
I shook my head and wrinkled my nose.
Should I leave him here? Will he be okay kapag iniwan ko siya rito?
I stared at him for a long period of time then decided to stay. Bahala na nga. Papa, patawad. Hayaan niyo na muna ako, minsan lang naman ako lalandi. Hehe.
I slapped myself. Madison! Malandi ka!!
I heard a chuckled and I saw him slightly open his eyes, "you're cute,"
I bit my lips.
Okay. Kinilig, "gising ka na pala." I said, trying to set the subject a side.
"Why are you slapping your face? You might hurt yourself." He said and concern was evident on his voice.
I suddenly blushed. Concern ka? Hihi.
Shoving off that thought away, I stared back at him, confused.
He then smiled like as if he understands what I am trying to say. "It's me. Raven."
"Shoot! Salamat! Akala ko kung sino na naman, I am not yet ready to face another persona, oy." I stifle a laugh at inilagay ang magkabilang kamay mo sa bewang ko habang nakatingin lang sa kaniya.
"I warned you." He uttered with a monotonous tone. "By the way, why are you still here?" he asked trying to sit on his bed. Inalalayan ko naman siya para hindi siya masaktan mula sa pagkakabangon.
"I- uh- I thought that, you might hurt yourself again that's why I stayed." I replied while gazing on the other side, without looking at him on the eye.
"Why?" He whispered and I immediately look at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You know, I am sick. A bastard. A psycho, but why are you still here? You could've just leave me alone."
Nagkadikit ang dalwang kilay ko sa narinig. "You don't want me here, don't you?" I asked with a hint of sadness on my voice.
"N-no! I mean, I want to. Very much. Truth is, my heart fluttered when I still saw you-staying on my side in terms of my worst."
"Who wouldn't? I have this feeling na may something sa'yo. I don't know rin eh, maybe God sent me to be someone in your life. I may be something for you." I smiled while saying those things and he just smiled back at me.
Ang gwapo! First time tumawa ng sincere. Jusko.
He suddenly burst out laughing and I can't help but to stare with uncertainty at him.
Why?
"Did I said my thoughts out loud?" I asked him at tila nahihiya na sa mga pinagsasabi ko. I really have this thing about voicing out my thoughts without me, noticing. I just will and minsan ay mawe-weirdohan nalang sa akin ang ibang mga tao.
"Uh-huh. Gwapo huh?" he grinned at me-trying to tease me.
Ugh.
"It's fine. Gwapo ako, maganda ka, bagay tayong dalawa!" He announced nang napansin niyang wala akong plano na sagutin siya.
Eh sa nahihiya ako eh!
I look at him-eyes bulging after I realized something.
"Problem?" He asked nang makita ang reaksyon ko.
"Did you remember something?" I asked.
"Huh? Why? Is there something I should remember?"
I waved my hand on the air as if I am dismissing the topic, "Nah. I just wondered, kasi nasabi ko na 'yan sa Business Man kanina." I explained.
"My other persona?"
"Yuh."
I headed to the kitchen and cook something to eat. Minutes of cooking when I felt someone from behind. I smiled and turn my gaze at him-grinning like a maniac.
Wait.
"R-raven?"
"Buenos Nochés mi amore! I am fluttered to see such a beautiful lady in my kitchen."
Ah. The Spanish Playboy, I see.
"Good Evening. I am cooking something to eat. Just sit down and wait for this to be serve." I casually said at muling hinarap ang niluyo ko.
"Oh. Do I know you? I don't remember someone as my maid." He conceitedly uttered.
I spatted him a dangerous look while holding a spatula. The guts! Ako? Mukha ng yaya? Letche 'to.
"I am not your maid either."
"So you are my flavor of the night by chance?" he said while wiggling his brows.
Ugh. Patience Madi. Si Raven lang 'yan. Maniac version nga lang.
I puffed out some air and served his food.
"Nah. I am friend."
He stares at me while brows up high and burst out laughing.
Baliw talaga.
"I don't do friendship, Miss. I fucked and leave."
I was caught off-guard with his blunt reply.
Damn this man. He really knows how to cut my last string of patience.I faked a smile and made a fierce look across him. "Sorry but I also don't do with short dick." I said at tinalikuran siya para kukuha ng mga pinggan.
Ha! Kung humor lang naman ang basehan, c'mon baby. I know how to fight with words.
"Feisty. But I also don't screw with virgins. You are just a piece of kid with small holes and tit-"
"Flash news. I am not a virgin." I cut him nang nakabslik na ako sa mesa niya.
"Really? But my instincts says otherwise."
"Stop collecting false conception, Mr. Veronico. You're not an 'I-know-all' type of a guy."
Goodness! What is this we are talking about? And fyi, I am a fcking virgin! This guy is just getting on my nerves!
He leaned closer to me and stares at me in the eye.
"Let's try and I want to check it myself." He whispered after he lean at me.
I instantly blush and choke myself from what I am already eating. I think I am going to have an indigestion because of this guy!!
He smirked upon seeing my reaction and stands up.
"Ah. Virgins. Stop acting like a big hole when in fact you aren't one..."
"...because trust me, I will kill that person who touched my girl."
After saying those words, he walked away living me mouth wide-opened.
What the fuck was that?!
Minutes of thinking when I heard something from the outside.
I jumped from where I am sitting when I heard a loud groan from the garden. My heart doubled its beat and shouted:
"VERONICO!!"
