I quickly sat up on the bed, panting. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko nang makaramdam ng kaunting kirot.
That was a very bad dream I got there. Unfortunately, it's not just a dream. It's a memory.
I sighed and laid back- wait- I'm on the bed?
Mabilis akong bumangon ulit at inilibot ang aking paningin. I'm on my old room now. How did I...get here?
"Oh, you're awake." I turned my head sideward upon hearing Francine's voice. Kakatapos lamang nitong maligo base sa tuwalyang binabalutan ang buhok niya at sa suot niyang pantulog. She closed the bathroom door before heading to the couch and sit there.
"How did I get here?" I asked.
"Don't you remember? I brought you here," she answered. Napakunot-noo ako. "Just 'wow'! Ang bigat mo, sir. Ano bang nangyari? Bakit ka nahimatay?"
Nahimatay? Oh, I remember. I fainted after that freakin' kiss!
"Oh, yeah. I remember! Because of that freakin' kiss you did to me, I became unconscious!" I exclaimed standing up out of the bed. Mabilis na lumapit ako sa kaniya at nakatayong hinarap siya.
"Halik lang iyon-" I cut her words short.
"That is out of the line. Wala sa pinag-usapan natin na gagawin natin ang bagay na iyon. You should have consulted me first! I'm the boss around here and I'm restricting you to make a move when I'm uninformed."
She just looked at me na para bang wala siyang pakialam sa sinasabi ko. It's like, the words I'm blabbering around here gets inside the other ear and go out the opposite.
Seconds of silence filled the whole room bago niya ito putulin.
"'Di mo kaya 'yon," she nonchalantly said reaching out for the apple from the bowl placed on the mini table beside the couch.
"Yes, I can," I said, confidently.
"No, you can't."
Kumagat ito sa mansanas na hawak. Tinaasan ko lamang ito ng kilay.
"Sige. If I did your way, what do you think will happen when we'll just ignore your suspicious mother kanina who, technically, is behind that thud?"
"You mean, mom's following us earlier?" She nodded and took another bite of the apple. "Then how'd you know?"
"Nakita ko ang repleksyon niya sa glass wall kanina kasama pa ang isa. Isa sa mga assistants niya siguro."
"Then you did the kiss? Was it necessary?"
"Of course. A kissing scene takes people away."
"You made that up, didn't you?" Nagkibit-balikat lamang ito bilang sagot at muling kumagat sa mansanas. "Whatever. Just... don't do it again. It's gross." Pinal kong sabi bago umupo sa dulo ng kama.
"Gross?!" Napaayos ito ng upo. "Teka lang, ah. FYI, hindi ako naninigarilyo, hindi rin ako umiinom. Lagi akong nagtu-toothbrush kaya mapuputi ang ngipin ko at laging mabango ang hininga ko. At maraming nagsasabing kissable ang lips ko, noh," mahabang litanya nito, nahihimigan ang pagrereklamo sa tinig. "Tss." Bumalik ito sa pagkakasandal at muling kumagat sa mansanas. She looked away murmuring things only she can hear.
