"Thirsty because you're thirsty...or...thirsty because I'm starting to wake your reposing heterosexuality?" I leaned a little closer to his countenance. I could sense the troubled feeling that I inflicted to him upon seeing the rapid movement of his adam's apple and his destabilized breathing. "Kael...I think....."

"You...think...what...?" he asked in bated breath. "Answer...answer now...I'm...I'm...heading...off.."
he stumbled, settling his gaze somewhere behind me. His hands were madly ruffling the comforter of my bed.

"I think..." I gulped to prevent my sniggers from escaping my mouth before caressing his lower lip using my thumb. "I think you were right when you said that there's a possibility for me to take back what I said regarding our rule number nine....cause I'm taking it back right now...so...could I...."

He averted his face and bit his lower lip. I was surprised to see a few drops of sweat on his forehead when his condo has a centralized air condition. "Could...could...you...what...?"

"Could I...take your...clothes...off...?" I guided my right hand to the hemline of his shirt and lifted it, revealing his well-toned abs that appeared too sexy and manly for me that I nearly forgot that he's gay. "This...isn't gay...." I traced my fingers on his abs with an amused and..and somewhat...enticed look on my face, which I wasn't supposed to feel 'cause I know I was just trying to tease him.

"Shimon-" His words were cut off when the sound of the doorbell echoed within the four corners of my room.

Sabay kaming napabalikwas sa kama at lumabas ng kwarto na para bang walang nangyari.

Bumungad sa amin ang mukha ni Lucifer na nasa katauhan ng Ate niya na may dala-dalang isang box ng pizza ng Yellow Cab sa kaliwang kamay niya. Sa kanan naman nakasukbit ang Louis Vuitton niyang bag, na parang pinangangalandakan talaga niya sa 'kin base sa paraan ng pagdadala niya. It's just sad that I'm not the type to envy one's luxuries. It doesn't define wealth afterall.

"Lovely to see you again, Gaddiel." From Kael, she tossed a glance at me and as if on cue, her brows pursed like I already hit a nerve in her with me doing nothing. "No offense, Miss Vasquez, but I don't think I could say the same pleasantries to you. You know how much I loathe every inch of you."

I laughed before returning the same attitude that she catered to me. "The feeling is mutual anyway, Lucifer-I mean, Mrs. Yañez. Seeing you a ruler away from me, makes me want to throw temperamental fits any minute by now."

Her already arched brow, arched even more upon hearing my claim. "How dare you disrespect me when I'm your professor and certainly this good looking man's sister," she hissed with gritted teeth.

"As far as I know, respect isn't given, it is earned, Ma'am. So may I ask you this with utter insolence." I took a step closer to her. "Do you deserve the respect that you were asking to be offered with?" My words came like a one sweet blow to her man-sized ego, that she raised her right hand to probably slap me but Kael's reflexes were quicker than hers.

"Why are you here, Gabrielle?" His voice was cold, so was the way he looked at his sister. "Aren't you supposed to be home and cuddling my nephew and niece?" He released his sister's hand with a nominal strength.

Lucifer ignored his questions and walked straight to the living room. She made herself at home on the couch. Binuksan pa nito ang pizza na dala at kumuha ng isa para kumain. Her legs were crossed and eyes were fixed on me. Kung nakamamatay ang tingin, siguro kanina pa ako binawian ng buhay.

"Answer my question, Gab," Kael said after occupying the seat in front of his sister. Naupo na rin ako sa tabi niya. "Bakit ka nandito?"

Hindi na ako nagtaka pa kung bakit hindi niya tinatawag na Ate ang kapatid niya. No'ng nag-dinner kami sa bahay nila, Giddeon lang din naman ang tawag niya sa Papa niya.
