"Bakit mo ako hinalikan?" tanong ko.
"Dahil gusto ko." ikling sagot niya. Tama ba 'yung sinabi niya? Namula ako na parang kamatis at lalong bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
"Naniwala ka naman agad?" tatawa-tawa pa siya.Mas lalo siyang lumapit sa'kin.
"Hinalikan kita para tumahimik ka, at dahil alam ko rin na malakas ang epekto ko sa'yo. Kaya nga nahila kita palabas diba?"
"Ang sama-sama mo! Ano bang ginawa ko sa'yo huh? Minahal lang naman kita uh, masama na ba yun?
"I don't like you, simula pa lang sinabi ko na sa'yo at mas lalong naging ayaw ko sa'yo nung sinabi mong liligawan mo ako, and you can't blame me. And one thing, I don't like seeing girls drinking, especially with men."
"Hindi mo naman pala ako gusto, so why do you care kung nakiki-paginuman ako doon? Eto na nga eh, kakalimutan na kita, tinigilan ko na nga ang panliligaw sa'yo diba? Ano pa ba gusto mo? Lalayuan ko ang kaibigan ko, which happen to be your brother? okay, gagawin ko yan, ano pa? stay away from your friends? okay, gagawin ko rin 'yan if that is what you freaking want! Kaya, umalis ka sa harapan ko ngayon dahil papasok na------------"
And he kissed me again, this time hindi na smack lang. He claimed fully my lips.
