Little White of Secrets (Metro Series #2)

Chapter 1: Kiss

Chapter 1

"I'm telling you, Ads. This place is really quite tight and narrow. The spaces are too small for your things and such." Kit said as his hands are on his pockets. His eyes remain infront just like mine.

Though, now, I can't help but to just roll my eyes at that. Tamad rin akong huminga ng malalim at binaba ang dalawang kamay na galing saking dibdib. I then put it inside my beige plaid pants pockets, right after. The inner white tube top complimented my terno beige coat that I am wearing right now.

"Believe me," ani ng pinsan ko, ngayon mas sigurado at mayabang niya nang baling sakin. He raised a brow too.

"Ano bang ginagawa mo dito?" lingon ko na sa kanya at niliitan siya ng mata.

I felt my long wavy hair swayed on my back. From a ponytail, hinayaan ko na lang na nakalugay iyon ngayon.

This time, si Kit naman ngayon ang napairap ng tamad. Tamad na mayabang. Kainis, sarap batukan. Especially, when he stir his tongue inside his mouth as he shifted his weight to face me. Ako lang ang hindi masyado gumalaw. Instead, I tilted my head to give him a challenge look. Syempre, it runs it the blood. Walang magpapatalo samin dito.

"What? Don't you miss me, my dear cousin?" hirit niya pa.

Kung hindi ko lang 'to pinsan, baka inisip ko na na, nang-aakit talaga 'yong boses niya sa lalim. Kadiri, right?

"No, I don't," I said without blinking.

Sumipol siya. Mahina akong napailing at tinalikuran ito pagkatapos.

I walked towards the large boxes. Hindi ko iyon natignan kanina nang naihatid dito. Ngayon palang at nang gagawin ko na, sumulpot naman 'tong pinsan ko. Those are still unboxed yet. Mga costumize tables and chairs iyon na noon ko pa talaga gustong-gusto. And now, here it is.

"So... including you, huh." I heard him chuckled in a low voice.

I'm not sure but I heard something the way he said it. Kumunot ang noo ko. I looked back at Kit. Naabutan ko siyang dinidilaan ang labi at bahagyang nakayuko. Saglit lang at tumingin ulit sa harapan, ngayon malamig na ang mga mata.

Mabilis akong na guilty. Binitawan ko ang hinahawakan na karton para lapitan ulit siya.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked even though, I know I already have an idea what he meant by that. "You're still at it?" maingat kong tanong.

Nervous a bit, I tap the thin heels of my black stilletos on the floor. The lights from the counter reflected Kit's cold and deep eyes. He didn't answer but he remained cold and strong. I knew it. Oh my gosh...

"How are you, Ads?" he asked softly. Galing mag shift ng topic.

"Why?" I can't help but to ask. Hindi dahil kinakumusta niya ako, kundi sa isang bagay. Sa isang bagay na dapat matagal nang tapos. Alam kong alam niya kung bakit, bakit ako nagtatanong nito.

Obviously, I have no say for this. But is it not too much, already? This man right here beside me is an asshole. He really is, but I don't think he deserves this kind of thing. We don't deserve all awful things in the world, after all.

Kanina pa kami nagbabatuhan ng salita pero ngayon lang siya tuluyang sumeryoso. The air got more silent.

After that, he manly tip-toed a bit, still hands on his pocket before he loooked at me straight in the eyes. He knows, I know that he won't answer it. He won't answer that question.

Pinilit ko ang walang ekspresyon na mukha. Kahit na sa kaloob-looban ko, parang gusto kong... gusto kong bumuntong hininga na lang. Ayaw ko nga lang ipakita iyon kay Kit. Lalo na ngayon. It really runs in the blood, I guess? Kung sinabi kong walang magpapatalo samin, totoo 'yon. Pero kung may mas matibay man dito, alam kong siya nga iyon. It's been what, right?
