DULCIS

After I braided my hair, I strode towards the mirror to see the new visage I made for myself. Achievement! I looked ravishing than my usual curly reddish hair. I became more naturally innocent.

"Here is another day!"

I turned around... and again... and again until my body is out of control.

"Oops! Dulcis, naman!" he complained when I realised that he was beneath me.

"Oh my God! Sorry, Jean Tovin!" I stood up immediattelt. I offered a hand but when he reached for it, he pulled me onto him making me fall again on top of his body. I am now sitting astride of him. Nakangiting aso na naman siya sa akin.

"Naka-chansing na ako," he muttered. My eyes trailed down on his two palms resting on my bare thighs.

"Jean Tovin!" I screamed and stood up.

The cacchination I hated most started again! Here comes his sexy laugh again! Nakakabanas na siya!

"Jean Tovin, you're becoming abusive," I stated frankly. His eyes darted on me now. I was startled with his seriousness. "Nandito ka na naman kasi. Why are you here?" I asked as I pouted my nude lips.

"Akala ko magagalit ka na. Pinagpawisan pa ako doon ha! Huwag mo nga akong binibiro ng ganoon!" he grumbled like a frightened kid.

"Nandito ka na naman kasi. Nababanas naman ako sa'yo. Wala ka bang senses? Can't you feel my ire on you?"

"Ayaw daw akong nandito eh nagpapaganda ka nga diyan eh. Kanino ka magpapaganda, sa mga engkanto? Huwag mo nga akong pinapaikot dahil sa'yo rin talaga ang bagsak ko," he said proudly. Aba-!

"Ano?!"

"May gusto ka naman talaga sa akin eh."

"Why would I have that strange feeling?!"

"Bakit ka nagpapaganda? Bakit naka-braid na yang buhok mo? Bakit naka-dress ka? At bakit pangiti-ngiti ka diyan sa salamin at paikot ikot pa with poise?"

I arched my brows. "Why are you here? Why are you bothering me? Why are you accusing me that I like you? Ano naman sa'yo? I am not your type, am I?" He must be thanking heavens now because I don't wear any makeup.

We stared for almost ten seconds. He was the first one to give up. He uprooted his hair and frustratingly eyed me from my head to my bare feet.

I crossed my arms. "And... why didn't you show up last night?" I sounded fierce and tenuous at the same time.

"Bakit namumugto 'yang mata mo?" Tumaas ag isang kilay niya.

I looked away. It's not my fault why I shed pail of tears last night. It was his!

"Go away."

"Tinataboy mo na ako ngayon?" He grinned. "Umiyak ka kagabi?"

"You should've seen me, idiot."

He smirked. "Bakit naman? And besides, I'm just kidding na babalik ako. Why would I come back? I don't like woods."

That struck me. My chest ached. He dislikes my habitat then there is a possibility that he dislikes me, too. He is starting to infuriate me. Ugh!

"Huh? Hoy, kinakausap kita!" he yelled.

There, I got teary-eyed. "I said go away! Get lost! You're getting rude!" Natigagal siya. "I don't need guys in here. I loathe you!"

Nakahalukipkip na siya ngayon. "Galit ka na niyan?" he seriously asked.

"I'm mad because you didn't come back last night. You've sworn!"
