Chapter 18 – 'Kwynn Versus Elders'
KWYNN'S POV
"We'll talk later. We're both tired right now." His voice do sound tired.
He almost killed his friend, now that's really tiring.
Pinalobo ko ang pisngi ko at binuga ang hangin. Siya naman ay nanatiling nakatitig sa akin. Ngayon ay parang sanay na ako sa mga titig niya kaya hindi ako naasiwa.
The only man who can effortlessly make me uneasy.
Wait!
"Later? Why later? Aalis na 'ko nu'n." Protesta ko.
Nakalimutan kong naka-community service nga pala kami! Siguradong umuusok na ang ilong ni Rohelio kakahanap sa amin.
"It's already twilight, Maiden." Giit niya.
Twilight? Namilog ang bibig at mata ko sa sinabi niya. Shit! I can still go home, right? Oh yeah fuck! Where's my car again? It's fucked up.
"Really?"
Parang ilang minuto lang ang nangyari kanina!
Hindi makapaniwalang naglakad ako papalapit sa salaming dingding, at sumilip na animo'y may kalangitan na sasalubong, ngunit asul na tubig lamang ang aking nakita.
Kumunot ang noo ko sa pagtataka ngunit napakagat labi din ng may naalala.
Oh great!
I fucking forgot we are currently under the water. Way to go, Kwynn!
I violently close my eyes and bit my lips because of embarrassment! Shit! Alam kong nakita niya lahat nang katangahang ginawa ko!
And I was right when I heard his sexy, sinful and surreal chuckle!
Oh shit!
Nilukob nang hiya ang kalooban ko.
"Did you saw the nightfall?" Panunuya niya at sinundan ng marahan na pagtawa.
Shit! Shit! Shit! Kwynn, you motherfucking gorgeous stupida goddess!
Kinuyom ko ang kamay ko at buong lakas na nilingon siya, "Fuck you!" Asik ko.
Nabigla sa aking naging sagot, nawala ang kanyang marahang pagtawa.
I glared at him with so much resentment. Kung bakit ba naman kasi ngayon pa lumabas 'yang magandang katangahan mo, Kwynn! Pahiya ka tuloy!
Well... atleast maganda pa rin ako!
At wala akong pake!
Dahan-dahang kumunot ang noo niya na parang may nasabi akong mali at hindi kaaya-aya sa kanyang pandinig.
"You cussed." That was not a question, it's an statement! Or rather an accusation.
"Of course, I cuss! I'm a goddess, not a saint!" Kunwari'y galit kong sabi upang matabunan ang hiya.
He scoffed and tilted his head, watching me like a puzzle who's hard to assemble. I tried my best to match his stares and god! I really can't help but avert mine!
"Didn't I tell you something about cussing, Maiden?" Umalingawngaw ang malalim niyang boses sa silid. Kahit mahina ang kanyang boses ay hindi ko parin maiwasang panlambutan ng tuhod.
Come on you, Kwynn! Recover!
"You sound like my Dad. How old are you by the way?" Taliwas sa aking nararamdamn ang nasabi ko. Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha ang lakas na sagutin pa siya o ang pride ko mismo ang pabalang na sumasagot.
