Chasing Wild Redamancy

CHAPTER ELEVEN

Impulsive

The relation between David and I become intimate, I don't know what we are before but there's this cash I couldn't address. I sometimes asked myself, ano ba kami? I let myself assume things, do we reach the level of courtship? Because it looks like in other way around.

But the part of me was kind of relieved that he hasn't asked yet, I am puzzled and I wasn't sure yet on what I feel. I don't want to cause skepticism to him, the only answer is yes or no. No in between's, I will be inconsiderate if I let myself be carried away by my feelings, by impulsive actions.

Magiging unfair 'yon sa kaniya. I couldn't point it out to myself, is this infatuation? Or it's just a thrill because he made me feel things I haven't felt before? And that would be more unfair to him. I want to be sure, he deserved things in certainty.

"Magkalimutan na tayong impakta ka!" si Jumi sa kabilang linya.

I palmed my forehead soothing my head as it throbbed because of Jumi's rant. Literal na mainit ang ulo ko dahil sa plantsa na kumukulot sa aking buhok. Jumi was asking impetuously, for me to be on her condo. She asked, kung anong ibig sabihin ng post na iyon ni David and the happenings on our last night out with David intimate moves on me.

Hindi niya matanggap na wala akong naikwento sa kaniyang ni katiting na impormasyon kaya heto siya ngayon at uhaw na uhaw.

"Jumi I have shoot—"

"Wala maharot ka!" aniya ngunit alam kong may biro na doon. "Ano square-an nalang tayo? Ano?"

"Jumi, I'll explain it to you—"

"Naglalaplapan ba kayo habang nakatalikod ako?"

"Jumi!" Gulantang kong saway. Kahit kailan ay napakawalang preno ng kaniyang bibig.

"Sayang saya ka siguro ngayon na 'yung pinaka gwapo sa magkakaibigan 'yung na bingwit mo 'noh?!" aniya. "Sana all! Naiyak ako ng ipakilala ako ni Kai sa kaibigan niya eh! Siya pala 'yung pinaka panget damuho na 'yon!"

"Naiyak ako sa panglulumo," She added.

"Love is blind," I teased. "Buti hindi ka tinawag na 'Ate'?"

"Siraulo ka!"

Ang kaninang maikli sanang tawag ay tumagal pa dahil sa mga reklamo ni Jumi. I wasn't that familiar to Kai, she's Jumi's crush in our whole final year in college, Kai was a freshman college when we are fourth, kaya mas nakakatanda kami ng tatlong taon sa kaniya.

I have my shoot today, the taken photos were going to be on my portfolio, at ang portfolio'ng iyon ay ipapasa as one of the requirements in New York—where there's a management seeking models to be trained and to be on a runway fashion shows. Ito ang matagal ng hinahagad ng Mommy, pero pangalawa pa lang ito, she's aiming the most is for me to have my ramp in Grand Palais in Paris.

Nakaupo sa harap ng salamin habang abala si Ate Nikki sa pagaayos ng aking buhok. I am wearing a thin black long sleeves turtle neck fitted dress, that made my black push up brassiere a bit apparent. I was busy checking my face when my phone on my lap beeped. I swiped the lockscreen and read the message.

From: David
Tagaytay?

It was like an FBI code, one-word communication but I already understand the message.

Ako:
No. I have shoot.

Tiningnan ko ang oras at nakita na masiyado pang maaga to have his dismissal. Iba iba kasi ang oras ng klase niya at depende pa iyon sa araw.
