Mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko. Nakakahiya pero nakakakilig. I heard all the nasty remarks women threw at me at the recital but when they heard I'm a doctor, biglang nagsihiyaan. They are obviously trying to make me mad which I can't do because I'm lazy to be angry.
"Kanina ka pa nakakahawak sa kamay ko. Naglalakad lang naman tayong papuntang Subway para maglunch." He gave me puppy eyes at alam niyang nahuhumaling ako sa mga singkit niyang mata.
"Tse! Really, Xavier Tan? Nagpapacute ka? Hindi bagay sa laki mong tao. You're like optimus prime." I giggled but he still kept his hand entwined with mine. Ngayon lang ako nakaexperience na kiligin sa buong buhay ko.
"Oo nagpapacute ako, Dr. Alexandra Jung and you have no choice but to be fond of me. I'll spend my lifetime trying to be cute before your eyes." He smiked again na halos hindi makita ang mga mata niya. Chinito gwapito.
"Bolero! Nakakaasar ka, hindi mo man lang ako pinagtanggal ng white coat. Mukha tuloy akong may che-check up-in." He just winked.
"Whatever they say, maganda ka pa rin. You're awesome." Kinikilig ako at ramdam ko ang pag-init ng mga pisngi ko.
"I can't imagine na... ganiti ka ka-soft sa akin pero sa iba sobrang cold at suplado mo." He pouted and faced me habang naglalakad paatras.
"Because you fascinate me, Dr. Jung. You fascinate my..." Then he went closer to mg ear. "...testosterone." Then he giggled like a child. I smirked. Hindi ako intimidated sa mga medical terms! Pero kapag sinabi na niyang attracted siya or... Argggh!! Bakit ba kasi kailangang gwapo siya at nakakasilaw.
Narating namin ang subway at iniupo niya ako. Umorder na siya nang hindi ako tinatanong. I realized that he loves to be in control and maybe it's just one of his personalities I shall get to know.
"I love chicken sandwich but I ordered a hero kasi favorite mo yun."
"You knew?"
" Of course, I need to know everything. And please, I am not a stalker. Nakita kitang lagi nabili." I smiled and I'm impressed for his eye in details. Konti na lang talaga hulog na ako.
"Promise me you won't date Alexander or Nathaniel or kahit sino pang doktor sa ospital niyo. Ayoko ng may kahati, Alex. I hate it when I think about you leaving in a week. Ang layo ng FMC dito." Nakasimangot siya habang umiinom ng coke. I unconsciously pinched his right cheek na pareho naming ikinagulat.
"S-sorry... Ang cute mo kasi talaga. I can't help it. I'm... sorry." He blushed! Nahihiha siya sa ginawa ko?
"I... I can't think straight kapag nadidikit ako sayo. You make me think a lot of sexual things and I don't want to scare you off. Hindi ako mamimilit. I just want you to know that you are waking up something in me kapag ginagawa mo iyan." He looked away and blushed.
"I'm a doctor and I know what you're talking about. I understand and I'm sorry. I won't pinch you again." He pouted at sobrang pogi. Kelan ba ako magsasawang sabihin na gwapo siya? Para na akong sorang plaka pero hindi ko magawang mapigilan ang sarili ko.
"No... I want it too. Nahihiya lang ako everytime things get quite... well, intimate. I'm not good in controlling urges and I'm sorry. I've been celibate since I started telling you my feelings. Mahirap paniwalaan pero totoo."
Napangiti ako habang kumakain. He's too much to ask for. Hindi ko magawang maimagine na babagay sa akin ang Isang Xavier Tan.
"Celibacy is hard. Can you take it?"
"Yes... If it means to have you then, yes. It's not difficult. My heart before my... Thing." I giggled and he did as well.
"Alam mo ba ang pinapasok mo? I'm a boring woman, Mr. Tan. I'm a doctor and my time is not mine. I study most of the time and I might not be able to provide the time you need from me." He cupped my face across the table at napatitig ako sa mga mata niya.
"Of course, I know. I never dated a doctor... no, I never dated a real woman. You represent a woman of substance and intelligence. Kinakabahan nga akong hindi ako bagay sayo. All I know is music ans business. Natatakot akong maghanap ka ng doktor."
My goodness. Ngayon naniniwala na nga talaga akong may gusto siya sa akin. I now believe my instincts. He really like me... A LOT.
"Why would I find someone like me? Don't you believe in the saying, 'Like charges repels; unlike charges attracts.'?" His eyes grew wide and he already got what I wanted to say.
