====================

Ultimate thrill.

Kissing Oliver San Martin before one of the most important match of his life is the ultimate thrill.

And I will not be ashamed. I will not. I will not. I will not.

That is the mantra that is going through my head right now. It felt like an eternity has already passed when Oliver went out of the restroom. Pero heto pa rin ako at nakikipagtitigan sa sarili kong repleksyon sa salamin. I can hear the buzzing of people from outside pero wala namang nagtatangkang pumasok dito. Hopefully, my luck holds on until I am ready to go out.

I stared at myself some more. I look a little crazy. And wanton. My god, do I look wanton! I have the look of a woman who was thoroughly ravaged and enjoyed every moment of it. Slightly swollen bottom lip and flushed face down to the neck. Kung hindi ito ebidensiya ng kapahangasan ko kay Oliver, ewan ko na lang kung ano.

Hindi ako mahihiya.

But my face blushed a deeper red when I remembered how I dragged my housemate in here and forced him to kiss me. Well, hindi naman exactly forced since siya naman ang kusang umabot ng mga labi ko sa huli. Still, the fact na hinabol ko siya at kinaladkad papunta dito, in hindsight, is too aggressive.

So ano na? Suko ka na?

I sighed. Siyempre hindi. In for a penny, in for a pound na nga 'di ba?

Nang dahil sa housemate ko, dumadalas na ang pakikipagtalo ko sa aking sarili. Sabi nila, ito daw ang unang symptoms ng pagiging baliw. Kung ito na nga iyon, ayos lang. At least, sa isang Oliver San Martin ako nasiraan ng bait. Kumbaga, hindi naman nakakahiya dahil worth it naman. Besides, I promised myself to seize every moment I can with him and that's what I am doing. Ginusto ko ito kaya paninindigan ko. Tutal naman, kahit papaano, responsive naman ang housemate ko sa akin. He would have not kissed me like that if 100 percent ayaw niya, right? He must like me. Kahit kaunti lang. Okay na ako sa kaunti. I can work with that.

Mind made up to stop overthinking things, I straightened up and started fixing myself. Muli akong nag-apply ng lip tint, I used a sheet of oil control film on my T-zone, and fixed my loose cropped T-shirt.

Paglabas ko ng restroom, I witnessed a woman creeping along the walls towards the hallway that connects the Champions Lounge to the mixing area. An area na alam kong off limits sa iba maliban sa mga players at staff ng bawat team. Ang babaeng nasa harapan ko ay hindi mukhang staff. She looks like a spectator. Napakunot-noo ako. Is she one of those women na naghahabol sa mga players?

Pinanood ko siya ng ilang minuto pa bago hindi na ako nakatiis magsalita. Natatawa na din kasi ako sa inaakto niya. Para siyang secret agent on a mission creeping on the other wall.

"You could get thrown out sa pinaggagawa mo."

Halos mapalundag ang kaluluwa ng babae palabas sa katawan nito sa pagkagulat at humarap sa akin. "Jesus F. Christ! Don't fucking scare me like that!"

Sumunod-sunod na ang iba't ibang makukulay na mga mura mula sa bibig nito na ikinataas na ng dalawa kong kilay. Oliver has a dirty mouth but he has nothing sa dumi ng bunganga ng babaeng nasa harapan ko. Ang jarring pa ng effect sa akin kasi mukhang Ms. Universe candidate ang tindig, katawan, at mukha nitong kaharap ko pero garabe talaga kung magmura. Gray pa ang kulay ng buhok nito. In other people, the color would have looked weird pero sa babae, it looked stunning. Do the pageant organizers allow this kind of hair color sa mga kandidata nila?
