Chasing The Moon

Chapter Four

My days passed by smoothly. Naging civil nga kami sa isa't isa ni Kit. He's now asking me to do the things that a secretary does. Like making coffee for him for about more than 3 times a day. I'm not sure if he's just too inlove with caffeine or what. Paminsan-minsan din ay pinasasama niya na ko sa mga Conference meetings niya or outside meetings.

I cannot say that we're okay but atleast we're civil, just like what we wanted us to be. And I can say that this really helps me a lot.

"One Brazo de Mercedes, please." I leaned closer to the counter and stared at Primo who is now paying using his black card. Napataas ang kilay ko dahil doon.

Okay, nice flex, Villegas.

Pagka-abot ng cake ay agad niya na itong kinuha saka kami naglakad palabas ng store.

"Ito pa ba 'yung paborito ni Aleia? Pabago-bago pa naman ng hilig 'yun." Napakamot siya sa ulo saka pinindot ang kanyang keyfob kaya tumunog ang kanyang itim na BMW.

"Ako na ang maghahawak niyan." Ani ko sakanya saka ko kinuha ang cake.

"Thank you, mahal." Mapang-asar niyang sabi kaya inirapan ko lang siya saka sumakay sa kotse.

We were heading to my sister's house. Nagulat na nga lang ako nang marinig kong nagdodoorbell siya kaninang umaga sa condo ko. He is just wearing his usual style though. A royal blue sweatshirt and black sweat shorts paired with his Nike slippers. He is also wearing a plain black cap. Mula dito sa inuupuan ko ay kitang-kita ko ang kumikinang niyang diamond na hikaw sa tenga.

Honestly, when I was in highschool up to college, I really really hate men who has piercings, tattoos and such. I'm not into those kind of looks. I find their looks so dominant and too attention seeker. I'm into guys who has this good aura. Actually my ex before Kit has that kind of aura.

But everything got so chaotic when Kit came to the picture. He opened my mind to accept everyone's way of coping. He made me realize that everyone has their own unique way on how they can express themselves. He made me look into the different perspective of someone's life.

And that's how I suddenly admire piercings and tattoos. I found out that tattoos are not just tattoos. They are someone's identity. You can see something through a person by just looking at their tattoos.

Everyone has their own reasons that one should respect and appreciate. Some use it for their confidence, some are using it to express themselves and some are doing it to be on trend. And there's nothing wrong with it. Im not into that quote saying 'My body, my rules'. I am more like 'My body, my responsibility'. You hold that responsibility to make youself better, feel better and act better. So, if this is your way of doing that responsibility, then why not?

"Done checking on me?" Panunuya niyang sabi sa'kin noong umiwas ako ng tingin.

I shook my head and tuckled my hair behind my ear. "Im thinking of having an excess piercing."

I am planning to have an excess piercing on my right ear, a helix and industrial piercing, I guess.

Lumingon siya sakin saglit bago bumaling ulit sa kalsada. "I thought you don't like excess piercings and all?"

I shrugged my shoulders and pouted my lips. "I think it's actually not bad at all. It looks nice and elegant actually."

He smirked and scratched his brow. "Well, the word elegant suits you well." Sumulyap pa siya sakin bago kumindat.

I puckered my lips, trying to hide my smirk. "Couldn't help but to agree though." We laughed at what I said.

"Hangin."
