STACY TORREZA

I woke up in the same room I have woken up early in the morning. Only this time, wala na akong katabing beast. Yes, I've decided to call him beast why? Pambawi ko lang sa mga masasakit na salitang binigay niya sa akin. Hindi ko siya pwedeng tawaging 'pangit', the both of us do know that he's exactly the opposite of 'that' word.

I got up from the bed and headed outside of his room. Asan kaya si Beast? Baka wala na yun, kasi kanina 'di ba mukhang may important meeting pa siyang pupuntahan base sa suot niya.

Napatingin ako sa wall clock na nadaanan ko sa hallway. 2:14 p.m. ng hapon na pala. Kanina around 8:30 a.m. lang bago ako mawalan ng malay. So paano na? Anong gagawin ko? Aklata naririnig mo ba ang iniisip ko?

Silence. Deep Silence. Yun ang nakuha ko.

I walk further hanggang sa makababa ako ng hagdan mula sa 2nd floor. I heard noises from the kitchen. Then, I stood there in surprise.

I saw Zairen, the beast, cooking?! With red apron?! While still wearing his corporate attire na nakafold yung long sleeves up to his elbows. Man, he looks hot. He doesn't deserve to be called beast I guess.

"Are you done checking me out, bibwit?" He suddenly spoke. Anong 'checking me out'? Wait! teka!'bibwit'?

"Did you just called me 'bibwit'?"

"Yeah, bibwit as in little mouse." He said proudly.

Kinakain ko na yung sinabi ko kaninang hindi niya deserve matawag na beast kasi deserved niya pala. Deserved na deserved.

"Wow ah! kung bibwit ako? Ano ka pa?" Hindi ako magpapatalo sa'yo, mukha mo!

He stared like daggers piercings through me.

"Stop that nonsense, come here, luto na ito." Naglakad ako palapit at umupo sa harap ng kitchen island. Nang biglang may magpop-out na idea sa utak ko.

"Baka naman may lason yan?" Mabuti ng handa, sa galit nito sa mga babae mamaya lasunin na lang ako nito eh.

"Woman, listen to me, yes maybe I'm loathing women species pero hindi ako mamatay-tao." He said seriously while giving me a plate of carbonara. He then took my fork and used it to taste the food in my plate. "Kung may lason yan, edi parehas na tayong malalason."

I'm speechless. After that bigla na lang siyang umalis at iniwan ako sa kusina. I followed him with my stare.

"Kumain ka na ba?"

"Kumain na ko kaninang lunch and don't put your nose in other's business." He answered while not facing me.

"Close-ended yung question ko. Yes or No lang naman kailangan mong sabihin pero ang dami mong sinabi." I said which earned a death glare from him when he turned to face me.

"Sabi ko nga po kakain na lang ako eh." I said while digging in my food and eat.

Kumakain na ako nung bigla siyang pumasok sa kusina at kumuha ng tubig. Then, he put the glass of water beside me before he finally left me in the kitchen. It made me smile secretly.
