CHAPTER TEN
~♦~

Mabilis akong pumasok sa bahay pagkaalis nila Asher. I plopped over the couch to sleep. Ang sarap talaga matulog habangbuhay.

"You two seem really close." Blanc pushed me further the couch para makaupo siya.

"I think so." I answered quietly. Tinutulak ko siya paalis ng couch kasi masikip kaso lalo niya lang akong sinisiksik.

"Gaano na kayo katagal magkakilala?" He asked again.

"A month?"

"Kilala mo na ba talaga siya?" I don't know the reason why we are having this conversation. Hindi na dapat siya nangengealam sa mga nagiging kaibigan ko.

"Sakto lang." I answered, uninterested. Malapit na akong makapunta sa Lalaland.

"And you even let him kiss you on the cheek." May halong tampo ang tono ni Blanc.

"He's okay with the family." Hindi ko alam kung tama pa ba ang isinasagot ko kay Blanc, lumulutang na kasi sa cloud nine yung consciousness ko.

"I've been closer but I never thought of doing those intimate actions." Pagdadahilan niya pa.

"Because he's single and you are not. He's touchy and you are not. Hindi niya kasalanan na free siya at ganun ang personality niya."

"And now you're taking his side." He pinched a flap of sagged skin under my arm. Since I lost weight, meron konting skin ang naka-sag pero madadala pa naman daw sa work-out 'to.

"Kung gusto mo, humalik ka na lang din para tumigil ka na sa kakareklamo." I faced him. Malakas ang loob kong magsalita ng ganito kasi gusto kong tantanan na niya ako tsaka hindi niya naman kasi magagawa yun.

"Seryoso?" He challenged me, with a playful smirk appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Kung seseryosohin mo." I answered back, nonchalantly and gaining a hearty laugh from him.

"Goodness Tua, I've been away for three months and now you're like this." He said in between his laugh.

"Be with Julien for days and you'll end up adapting his personality in so many ways." I rolled on my left side so that my back is facing Blanc. Kapag tinuloy-tuloy namin itong pag-uusap, baka mawala pa ang antok ko.

"I like the kid, though."

"I bet he doesn't like you, though." Pambabara ko sa kanya.

"Why wouldn't he? I'm very likeable, you know. Kaya nga gusto mo ko di ba?" He poked my side. I glared at him before ignorning him again.

"Julien doesn't like the fact that there are other guys around me. That kid claimed me at first sight." Hindi ko alam kung naintindihan pa ni Blanc yung sinasabi ko kasi parang slurred na siya.

"Wow. Ganda ni Tua oh. Meron ka na kagad admirer?" He laughed.
