Malalim na ang gabi ng mapagpasyahan ni Sheena na mag aral sa kusina sa may kitchen counter ang laswa na kasing pakinggan ni Emma na nakikipag landian sa asawa sa cellphone nito.
Nakaharap si Sheena sa may pintuan habang nag-aaral ng may nakita siya anino na papalapit. Bigla dinagsa ng takot ang kanyang dibdib. Hindi siya makagalaw habang papalapit ang anino, nakatitig lang siya dito. Kung bakit ba naman kasi ang ilaw lang sa tapat niya ang in-on niya. Ilang saglit pa ay nakita niya ang multo. Napasinghap siya ng makita si sir Devon na naka topless at blue na pajama lang. Mabilis na nagbaba ng tingin si Sheena.
"M-magandang gabi po sir Devon." Nakayuko niyang bati dito.
"Magandang gabi din, anong ginagawa mo dito ng dis oras ng gabi Sheena?" Tanong nito na nag patuloy sa paglalakad, dumaan pa ito sa likod niya papunta sa ref para kumuha ng maiinom.
"Nag aaral po." Nakayuko paring sagot niya. Kumuha muna ito ng baso bago pumunta sa gilid niya at uminom bago magsalita muli.
"You know it's rude to not look in the eyes to the person you're talking to."
Mabilis na nag angat ng tingin si Sheena kahit nahihiya.
"Sorry po, pasensya na po kayo."
"Simula ng dumating ako dito parang ilag ka na sakin, why is that Sheena? May ginawa ba ako sayo na hindi ko alam? I thought we're friends already?" Nakakunot noong sabi nito.
"Nako hindi po, a-ano p-po... wala p-po sir." Yumuko na naman siya pagkatapos.
"And now you're stuttering." Patuloy lang siyang yumuko at hindi na umimik pa.
"Amo ko po kayo, Kaya dapat lang po ito."
"You know what if this is because of the way I acted for the past days na namasyal tayo I'm sorry, it's just that you are so beautiful Sheena Lily, so innocent, you're like an enchantress." Sensual na sabi nito sa mga huling salita. Hinarap siya nito at itinaas ang mukha niya gamit ang isang kamay nito at yumuko para mag kapantay sila. Tinignan siya nito ng mataimtim sa mga mata. Maya Maya ay tumawa ito ng mahina.
"Ah, so you still didn't get it don't you?" Amused na sabi nito.
"Ano pong ibig niyong sabihin sir?" Kinutuban na siya ngunit gusto niyang manggaling mismo sa bibig nito.
"I like you Sheena, I like you so much." Seryosong Saad nito.
"P-po?!" Kahit inaasahan niya ay nagulat parin siya noh.
"This face is so beautiful, intoxicatingly mesmerizing." His voice is so husky and seductive. "This is the first time that I feel this way towards someone I just met. Alam mo ba kung bakit hidi ako makatulog nitong nakalipas na araw?" His eyes are like hypnotising me to answer him.
"Bakit?" I don't know what happened to me but I can't recognize my own voice, they're too sensual also.
"Because I can't get this beautiful lady in front of me from my head, I should be sleeping because it's already one AM dahil may trabaho na ko bukas but I can't sleep because of you. I can't sleep knowing you are just a floor away."
"S-sir." Pabulong na sabi niya.
'Oh my goodness Sheena, what happened to you? Umalis ka na dyan, he's just playing with you. You can't be infatuated with someone you just met. Isa pa he came from a liberated country, he's expert in that department. ' Saway niya sa sarili pero tila ayaw nitong makinig.
"Can I kiss you Lily?"
Nangungusap ang mga mata nito. Nang hindi siya sumagot ay dahan dahan nito ibinaba ang labi sa labi niya. She can't help but close her eyes and anticipate for his kiss. He moved his lips and put his hands on her waist and the other was massaging her nape. She tried hard to copy and respond to his kisses. This is her first kiss for goodness' sake. Ipinatong niya ang mga kamay niya sa batok nito at pinalalim pa ang kanilang halikan.Nang kapusin sila ng hininga ay humiwalay ito at isinandal ang noo sa kanyang noo.
"God, your lips tastes even better any dessert I've ate in my entire life." Hinaplos haplos nito ang labi niya gamit ang hintuturo nito. "They're so sweet."
"S-sir!" Mabilis siya lumayo dito at nanghihinang sabi niya. "Mali 'to, ang bilis."
"Sheena stop calling me sir, and look at me, babe please look at me." Dahan dahan akong nag angat ng tingin sa kanya.
"This is not wrong, back then I don't believe in love at first sight but when I saw you as my mom introduced you, my heart skipped a beat. I thought it was normal but in case you haven't noticed I keep on staring at you during dinner, and I know you're watching me too. Gusto kong palipasin muna ang panahon kasi sobrang bilis naman talaga, that's why I decided to ask you out, ang manhid mo lang talaga." Nakangiting turan nito at umupo sa tabi niya.
"Pero s-sir-" kontra sana ako ngunit sino bang niloloko ko, eh gusto ko rin naman. Gani Gabi ko tong pinagdarasal kahit alam Kong imposible.
"Shh, if nabibilisan ka ako rin, if you want we can take it slowly Sheena. Let's go on dates, liligawan kita. Is that okay with you babe?" He's eyes we're pleading and she can't say no to him, babae lang siya marupok pagdating sa mga gwapong kabaro ni Adan.
Dahan dahan akong ngumiti at tumango.
"Okay Devon let's take it slowly."
