Comrades in Action Book 4: Mason Krustov

Chapter Four

"Ano bang tinitignan mo?"

He looked at the woman in front of him. Nakakunot ang noo nito habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"Nothing." He shrugged.

Mas lalong lumalim ang pagkakakunot ng noo nito. It's obvious she didn't buy his answer. And by the way her eyes sparkled, he could tell her interest was piqued. At kapag ganoon pa man ding natutumbok ang interes nito, asahan mo na lang ang nakakainis na kakulitan nito. Napamura na lamang siya sa isip. Mukhang mapagti-tripan pa siya ng bubwit na to ah.

"That doesn't seem nothing to me. Mukha kang constipated diyan dahil kanina ka pa hindi mapakali diyan sa kina-uupuan mo." And then she resumed drinking her coffee na tila wala lang.

"Shut up, Cece." Angil niya dito. "Huwag ka na ngang nangingialam. Eepal ka pa eh."

Ibinaba nito ang mug sa mesa saka siya tinaasan ng kilay. "Eh bakit defensive ka?"

"Hindi ako defensive."

"Defensive ka."

Doon umasim ang mukha niya. "Bingi ka ba? Sinabi ko ng hindi di ba?"

"At sinabi ko ng defensive ka di ba? Bakit ka nakikipagtalo sa akin ng ganito ngayon kung hindi?"

Hindi siya nakapagsalita. He just glared at this annoying woman in front of him. Nginisihan lang siya nito na ikinainis niya pang lalo.

She smirked. "Naiinis na ba kita?"

He pursed his lips at her stupid question. Marahan niyang ipinikit ang mga mata saka minasahe ang batok.

Teka nga lang..

Bakit nga ba kasi siya nakikipagtalo sa bubwit na ito?

Huminga siya ng malalim.

Pagmulat niya, agad dumiretso ang mga mata niya sa isang partikular na mesa hindi kalayuan mula dito sa kanila. Kumunot ang noo niya dahil sa labis na pagtataka ng makitang bakante na ang mesang iyon ngayon. Inilibot niya ang paningin sa paligid, hoping to see the woman who had been invading his thoughts lately.

"What are you really looking at?"

Hindi siya sumagot. Abala pa rin siya sa pagtingin sa paligid.

"Now this is getting creepy.. Tell me, is there any suspicious person in this restaurant that I'm supposed to be careful about right now?" Ito na mismo ang lumingon sa tinutumbok ng mga mata niya. "Ano ba talagang tinitignan mo?"

Napuno ng panghihinayang ang loob niya dahil hindi niya naka-usap ang dalaga. He'd been really hoping that they could talk today. Napabuntong hininga na lamang siya.

"Really Mason, what the hell is wrong?" Ang seryoso ng tanong ni Cece.

"Nothing." He mumbled as he picked at his food with his fork. Bigla siyang nawalan ng gana kahit kanina naman ay katakam takam para sa paningin niya ang carbonarang nasa harap.

"Nothing? Eh mukha kang batang nakanguso diyan habang nilalaro ang pagkain."

Umirap lang siya dito saka muling tumingin sa bakanteng mesa. He couldn't believe she really left without even talking to him! It's not like they didn't know each other. Kahit ba isang gabi lang sila nagkasama, he was really expecting her to at least say hi. Afterall, he did took care of her while she was drunk. She even puked at him at pinalampas niya lang iyon. And when he was stripping her off her clothes, kahit masakit na sa ibabang parte ng katawan niya ang masilayan ang napakagandang hubog ng katawan nito, still, he'd been a perfect gentleman! Hell! That was the first time he took a woman's clothes off without having sex with her considering that he'd been lusting over her sa bar pa lang! He'd been nursing his aching balls all night and it was fucking pure hell!
