The kiss ignites and it was fiery. She kisses as if there was a tension and she wanted to cut it using her lips. Then, she cupped my cheeks when I didn't kiss back, and it only took a second for them to travel up my hair, gripping on it. I held her waist, trying to push her away, but she didn't let me.
Suddenly, I felt her hand on the hood of my jacket and then she pushed me away, pointing at me as if I'm a criminal caught in act. "Siya po 'yon!" Takang-taka ako nang kumaripas siya ng takbo palabas.
"Sinasabi ko na nga ba't modus ito." Lumapit sa akin ang manager. Kinapa ko ang hood ko at naramdaman ko roon ang kahon ng band aid.
Tang ina.
Matapos manghalik gagawin pa akong kriminal.
"No, ma'am. This is a misunderstanding." I cautiously handed her back the box of band aid. She looks like she's around sixty, but still observant enough to notice some strange behavior. "I'll pay for it, but I won't take it. Just to prove..." Kinuha ko ang wallet ko at nag-abot ng buong five hundred. Ngayon pa talaga ako nawalan ng barya.
"Kilala mo ba ang kasama mo?" Nagdalawang isip man, tumango pa rin ako. I wiped my lips using the back of my hand and I saw a blue stain. Pati choice of lipstick niya ang weird.
"She has some kind of illness, yung pagiging malikot ng kamay. You know, Kleptomania." I lied and handed her the money. "Sorry po." Iyon ang huli kong sinabi bago umalis. Hindi man lang siya nagalit. Some people are too kind. Kung si Ryu 'yon, baka nagwala at ipapulis na ako no'n agad kahit pa nagbigay ako ng sobrang pera.
Hinanap ng mga mata ko ang babaeng 'yon at nakita ko siyang tumatakbo palayo. Malutong akong nagmura at mabilis siyang sinundan. Akala ba niya palalagpasin ko 'to? Muntik na ako doon! Ang dami dami ko na ngang problema.
"Riley!" I shouted and she doesn't even dare to look back. Binilisan ko pa ang pagtakbo hanggang sa maabutan ko na siya. Hinigit ko ang braso niya at ibinangga ang kaniyang likod sa pader. Sa pagod ko ay naibagsak ko ang palad ko sa gilid ng kaniyang ulo at naghabol ng hininga. "Tang ina, Riley." I uttered under my breath.
"Jahiem, I'm sorry." She gulped down and pressed her own back against the wall even more when I looked at her angrily. "Sorry, I'm so sorry. Hindi ko sinasadya. I was just—"
"Hindi mo sinasadyang manggago?"
Sumara muli ang labi niya at napayuko. Stare, that's all I do. Dahil hindi na nga niya suot ang cap, nakikita ko na ng maayos ang mukha niya. She still got this pure, innocent vibe that you wouldn't expect to do reckless things such as stealing and... I guess kissing strangers? I bit my lower lip and sigh in frustration. I shouldn't have said that, she looks scared.
"Sorry." Dumistansya na ako kaya muli na niya akong natingnan. Ngayon naman ay para na siyang takot na takot.
