"Sino ba kasi nagsabi na pwede ka pumasok sa kwarto ko?" Tanong ko kay Alcaeus na ngayon ay nakahiga sa aking sofa, kakalabas ko lang sa bathroom but I made sure na may suot na ako.

"Wancho. He called you for like hundred times but you are out there sleeping your heart out," He said sarcastically as he eyed me.

I sat down on my vanity chair and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I can clearly see Alcaeus looking at me. Umirap ako dahil wala naman siyang gagawin dito kun'di panoorin lang akong mag-ayos.

"Are you sure about your dress?" He kept on interrupting me.

Napatingin ako sa dress ko. It's actually a long sleeves one and it's color black kaya nagustuhan ko talaga. It's not revealing. I matched it with a white shoes. I look okay naman, ganito ang sinusuot ko kapag pumupunta sa simbahan. Ano kaya ang problema niya sa suot ko?

I glanced at him. He put his tounge on the insides of his cheek. He touched the in front of his hair.

He's wearing a black t-shirt and a cargo pants. He matched it with a white shoes. Angat nga naman ang kaputian niya at ang kan'yang mga ugat. Lalaking-lalaki nga ang pananamit niya. Ang kan'yang mamahaling pabango ay amoy na amoy. Tinignan niya rin ako gamit ang malalim niyang mata.

"Alca, stop picturing me as your other girls. I am not fond of dressing like a real lady or something. Besides, I have so many insecurities! Tignan mo ang laki ng noo ko! I don't even know how to part my hair!"

"Yeah and it's shining," he chuckled.

"Ang laking tulong naman po pala. Tumaas lalo 'yung confidence ko. Thank you!" I thanked him sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

He chuckled again.

"You are pretty. No need to compare yourself to my past ladies," my eyes widened and he laughed again.

He enjoys teasing me!

"Ang kapal naman ng mukha mo!" Nilapitan ko siya at hinampas. "Wala ka kayang taste! Paulit-ulit ka sa mga model plibhasa magaganda ang katawan!"

"What's wrong with that?" He looked up for me, still smirking.

"Gusto mo 'yung mga hourglass body! Malalaki ang suso!" Sigaw ko pa at nanlaki ang mga mata niya.

"What the fuck, Martiza? What are you talking about?"

"Tama ako 'no? Big boobs and big booty? Easy to fuck? Yuck!"

"What? That's not what I meant! Your words, Martiza!"

Umirap na lang ako sa kan'ya at bumalik na sa upuan. Sinimulan ko patuyuin ang buhok ko at nakikita ko si Alcaeus sa salamin na iritadong nakatingin sa akin. Inirapan ko siya pero hindi nawala ang iritado niyang mukha.

"What's with your look?" I noticed him.

He stood up and went to me. He held the towel and he smoothly massaged it on my hair. What the hell?

"You are doing it wrong. You don't have to be harsh on your hair," he told me with his low baritone.

"Kaya ko naman..."

"You are harsh on your hair, kaya ka siguro napapanot."

My eyes grew bigger and anger flew within me. He gave a bark of laughter and I quickly threw the brush that I grabbed. Napahawak siya sa kan'yang ulo at tinignan ako.

"Nakakairita ka talaga!" I shouted.

"What did I do?" Natatawang sabi niya.

"Bumalik ka nga ro'n!" Sigaw ko pa at natawa na lang siya bago sumunod.
