Tracy

"Tracy! Alpha Levi's here," tawag ni Tina sa akin.

Ibinaba ko ang suklay at tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. Naabutan ko naman si Tina sa ibaba. Tila katatapos lamang mag-workout.

"Did you father answer your calls already?" dinig kong tanong ni Levi kay Tina. Mukhang nakikibalita sa ginagawang imbestigasyon ng mga tatay namin ni Tina. 

"Yeah. He said he'll accompany tito Theo on Saturday. I think they've gathered some evidences. Balak nilang ipakita sa inyo bago i-surrender sa UCH," sagot ni Tina.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Hindi ba mapagagalitan si Tito Martin sa balak nila ni Papa?"

Tina looked at me. "Dad will surely get a sanction for it but you know my old man. He'd surely use his free time to pop some beers with his friends."

I smirked. "Don't know if I'll feel bad or not." Lumapit ako kay Levi saka ako ngumiti. "Hi."

His eyes sparkled with admiration while he reaches for my hand. Bahagyang uminit ang pisngi ko nang marahan niyang hinaplos ng kanyang hinlalaki ang likod ng aking palad. "You ready to remember?"

Tina sat on the couch. "Baron said there's a quicker way for Tracy to remember."

Sabay kaming napatingin ni Levi sa kanya. 

"What is it?" I asked.

Tina smirked. "Your mark. He said Levi just have to kiss it."

I blinked. My mark? She meant my scar? Levi said I had it before my family left Astrid. Isa raw ang marka ko sa dahilan kung bakit may mga nakalimutan akong alaala.

"Really?" Tumingin ako kay Levi. His cheeks seems to blush for a reason I couldn't decipher yet. "Is that true?"

He sighed. "Sort of but the thing is . . ." He licked his lower lip after glancing at my scar. "It's not just simple kisses, Tracy. We have to be connected."

"But we already are, right?" naguguluhan kong tanong.

Lalong uminit ang kanyang pisngi. Medyo napiga rin niya ang aking kamay habang ang magaling kong kaibigan naman ay todo ang pigil ng sariling matawa. 

Muling napabuga ng hangin si Levi. "Physically. We have to be connected physically."

My forehead creased even more. Physically? What do you mean phy--" My eyes widened and my cheeks turned tomato red. "Oh . . . Oh, that kind of being connected." Napaiwas ako ng tingin. "Right. I . . . I didn't catch that easily." 

Tina laughed. "Cute n'yo. Lumayas na nga kayo sa harap ko at naiinggit ako."

Pinanlakihan ko ng mga mata si Tina ngunit tumawa lamang siya. I ended up dragging Levi out of the house to save ourselves from further embarrassment.

"Pagpasensyahan mo na. She's just naturally that way," I apologized.

"I don't mind. I just don't want you to feel awkward. I know you're not ready for something more than kisses and cuddles."
