Not a Perfect Tale

Chapter13: Room

                              ***

"What?!" we exclaimed in chorus.

"U-uh, there's only one room left; for there's a lot of travelers that checked in. Is there a problem? Mag asawa naman kayo diba?" she said. I heave a sigh then glared at Massimo's direction. He's a jerk. I feel bad for lying but he seems to enjoy everything.

I flinched when he placed his arms around my shoulder then pulled me closer. He made my stomach churn and my heart jump, i'm sure that my face was already burning red. He's really enjoying this!

"It's just fine, right my wife?" he said while smirking.

"U-uh. O-ofcourse." i stupidly stuttered. He tightened his grip.

Impit na napatili si tita Leonor habang makahulugang nakatingin saamin.

"Here is the key to your room, It's 213. If you need something else you can call me or the front desk."

Tumalikod na si tita Leonor at handa ng umalis ng pigilan ko ito.

"Paano sina Teagan at Thalia?"

"Doon muna sila sa aming tahanan kasya naman kami doon."

"Ah. Sige po, salamat po ulit."

"Walang anuman, enjoy!" muli siyang humagikgik at kumindat pa. Napasimangot nalang ako.

"Bwiset ka kasi!" i said then hastily put his arms away from me.

"Why? Don't you want me to be your husband?"

I rolled my eyes then snatched the key from his hand. He's really annoying. Sino ba ang gugustuhing maging asawa niya?! Syempre ako-- este ang Queen. Akala mo kung sino.

Mabilis ang hakbang ko papaakyat sa hagdanan. Hindi ko alam kung naka sunod ba saakin si Massimo, ipinagsawalang bahala ko nalamang iyon.

Dire-diretsyo akong naglakad sa isang  pasilyo, may mga nakakasalubong ako kaya nagiingat ako sa paglalakad baka kasi may mabangga ako. Tinitignan ko ang number ng bawat room. I think malapit na ako. 209.. 210.. 211--

"Aray!" napasigaw ako ng may makabunggo ako. My butt hurst so bad. Medyo napalakas ata ang hampas ng pangupo ko sa sahig.

"Sorry miss." masama kong binalingan ng tingin ang lalaking nakabunggo sa akin. Nakalahad ang kamay niya at hinihintay akong tanggapin iyon.

Cute siya kaya tinanggap ko.

"He.he ayos lang ako. Salamat ha." tumalikod na ako at nagpatuloy na sa pagahahanap ng room namin.

"Wait miss! May i know your name?"

Is this dejavú? nangyari na to e. Hinila niya ang kamay ko kaya nakangiti akong humarap sa lalaki. I put some of my excess hair at the back of my ear. I was about to say my name when someone pulled me.

"She's my wife." Massimo blurted that made me choke from my own saliva.

"Let's go baby." hinila niya na ako papalayo do'n sa lalaki kaya napanguso ako. Baby daw?

"T-teka nga lang. Saan ka ba galing?" i asked sabay tanggal ng braso niya sa bewang ko.

"Kinamusta ko lang si Hobs."

"Saan nga pala siya magpapalipas ng gabi?"

"I don't know. He said he can handle himself so i didn't mind."

"That's good to hear. Ooh this is already our room. But.. where's the door?"

"Give me the key." he offered his hand so i gave him the key. Pinaatras niya ako at siya ang tumapat sa pader na numero lang ang meron. He placed the key to the wall and then there!  A wooden door appeared! He opened the door then entered inside, he left me dumbfounded. This kind of things never fails to amaze me!
