"Let's talk..."
"What for?"
He pressed his lips "Because you're mad"
Tumibok ng napakabilis ang puso ko "S-So?"
Nilagay nya ang kanyang kamay sa likod ng upuan ko.
Nararamdaman ko na ang pintig ng pagtibok ng aking puso.
Masyado nang malapit ang katawan naming dalawa. Kung para sa iba ay wala lang iyon, sa akin ay hindi. Milyon milyong boltahe ang nararamdaman kong dumadaloy sa aking katawan.
"I... I don't want you mad" he looked at me intensely.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin. Hindi ko makayanan tignan ng mariin ang abo nyang mga mata.
"Y-You... You can do whatever you w-want" nanginginig kong sabi.
He sighed "Solene, She's not my girlfriend"
Pumikit ako sa nararamdamang kaba. Only he can give me chills.
"Hindi naman nya sasabihin iyon k-kung hindi diba?"
I tried to avert my gaze. He touched my chin and caught my eyes.
"She was just joking." Tinignan nya ako ng mariin.
Pinilit kong ngumiti "O-Okay lang. It's really none of my business"
"Hmm... but your mad, right?" He said softly.
Umiwas ako ng tingin at tumikhim.
"I'm sorry..." Malambing na aniya
His soft voice send shivers down my spine. My whole body is shaking. My heart is beating so fast.
I can't stay mad with that kind of apology! I even forgot that i was mad at him.
"Okay lang" i smiled.
Pilit ang ngiti ko pero hindi dahil ayaw kong ngumiti sa kanya kundi dahil kinakabahan ako.
"You're not mad?" Tanong nya
Umiling ako. I saw him took a deep breathe.
"Are you staying here tonight?"
Tumango ako. Ininom ko ang juice na nasa mesa namin.
"Ipapaayos ko ba ang guestroom?"
"Wag na. Napaayos na ni Tyler. Magkasama kami ni Jamie sa isang guestroom"
He nodded "Hindi ka ba mags-swimming?"
Tinignan ko ang pool na sa kasalukuyan ay may mga taong nageenjoy lumangoy.
"Baka mamaya ng gabi"
"You should wear a rash guard"
Kumunot ang noo ko "Rash Guard? Okay lang naman kaso hindi naman ata bagay yon dito. Lahat sila naka bikini oh" turo ko sa mga babaeng lumalangoy.
He didn't glanced at them. His eyes are still on me.
"If you say so..."
Nagkatitigan kami. Ngayon ko lang ulit natitigan ng matagal ang mukha nya. Mixed kaya sya? His eyes are gray so i assume may lahi syang iba.
"Gianna! Yung cake mo!" Tawag ni Tyler.
Kinabahan ako. Nakita kaya nyang nag-uusap kami ni Lorenzo?.
