Paraphilias are impulse disorders (mental illnesses) that are characterized by recurrent and intense sexual fantasies, urges, and behaviors. Paraphilias are considered deviant -- outside of acceptable patterns of behavior -- because they involve unusual objects, activities, or situations not considered sexually arousing to others.

"So... wanna go out for dinner?" He asked.
Konting konti na lang mauubos na ang pasensya ko. Kung saan saan na lang sumusulpot si Terrence at hindi na nahiya sa ibang tao! Kahit pa sa harap ng mga katrabaho namin nilalandi ako!
Nakita ko ang paglingon ng mga kasama ko sa station at ang pagtahimik ng lahat.
I closed my eyes in annoyance along with the chart I was writing on. Nilagay ko ang ballpen sa lalagyan at naglinis ng kamay gamit ang sanitizer. I stood up and left my swivel chair, heading out of the nurses station to face Terrence on the other side of the counter.
I crossed my arms and stood in front of him, cocking my eyebrows and shrugging my shoulders.
"So that's a yes or a maybe?"
"Hulaan mo." I walked away from him yelling my answer.
Wala akong oras para sa mga walang kwentang bagay at walang kwentang tao. I would rather sleep early or stay up late at night playing with my son than go out with Terrence. I took my bag from my locker and took quick steps towards my waiting car.
That night really destroyed all of my plans. Ang plano ko lang naman ay manahimik hanggang sa umalis ng Pilipinas si Terrence pero dahil na rin sa katangahan ko hindi na niyar ako tinitigilan ngayon.
Stupid, Anrie. Really stupid.
It's been twelve hours of work and I am hungry. Wala na akong ganang kumilos pa at magluto kaya napag-isipan kong pumunta na lang sa restaurant or kahit na anong fastfood joint para kumain nang matino bago umuwi at matulog.
"Hey, tapos na duty ko. Dun tayo sa Rose Bowl kung available ka ngayon." I sent a text message and threw my phone on the passenger seat. Agad akong umalis ng parking lot at nagtungo sa restaurant.
I sat on the chair as I scanned the menu. Wala pang tatlong minuto nang buksan ko ang menu ay gumalaw ang upuan na nasa harapan ko. I kept my eyes on the menu and continued what I was doing. "What took you so long?" I asked.
"Ako pa ang matagal? Ni hindi ka pa nga nakapag-order dyan tsaka sigurado naman akong kararating mo lang."
"Paano mo nasabing kararating ko lang?" Paghamon ko sa kanya.
"I was parking my car when I saw you enter the front door, Dr. Kaneda." Binaba ko ang menu na hawak ko at pinagsalikop ang mga kamay ko at ipinatong ang baba ko dito.
"Touche."I said and he smirked.
We had an uneventful dinner but I had that unsettling feeling the whole time. Pakiramdam ko may mga matang nakatingin sa akin kaya naman hindi ko mapigilan ang mapalinga-linga sa paligid.
It's that feeling like you are so certain that someone is stalking you.
"Kanina ka pa palingon lingon dyan." Tanong niya sa akin.
I just sighed and tapped one of my fingers on the table. "Alam mo yung feeling na parang may nakatingin sayo? I feel like there's a pair of eyes looking at me right now aside from you of course. I don't know. Basta I feel like there's something weird, tumatayo mga balahibo sa braso ko."
I showed him my forearm and he chucked. It was true, may goosebumps talaga ako.
"You need to go home then. Baka ginawa ka na namang target ng mga kalaban ng dad mo." He shook his head before drinking water from his glass. "Come on let's go. Hindi naman kita maihatid since we brought our own cars. Convoy na lang tayo sundan ko sasakyan mo."
