Crush's 11

Movie: Ocean's 11

Sh*t!

Sobrang lakas ng pagkakahila sa akin ni Jema, muntik nang bumangga mukha ko sa mukha niya!

At muntik ko na rin siyang mahalikan!

I thought lalapat na talaga labi ko sa mukha niya, o sa mismong labi niya, pero may pumigil sa akin.

Or rather, my reflexes avoided such collision.

Mabuti na lang!

O sayang?

Not now, brain! Not really now!

I slowly opened my eyes at halos maduling ako sa sobrang ganda ng nasa harapan ko.

Ah, hindi yata ako magsasawang titigan ito kahit minu-minuto.

I followed her eyes as she gazed at me thoroughly, I think. And when she bit her lip, I mentally growled and gulped.

Oh, Lord! I'm sorry but I have to kiss this enchantress in front of me!

So, when her look fell into my own, I asked her permission.

No, I begged!

And oh boy, did she agree with those eyes!

Without cutting our staring contest, I lowered my head further and closed my eyes when we almost touched. My lips already know where it's destined to land.

Almost there!

Pangz!!!!! Nandito na kami!!!!

W....wait! What?!?!

As fast as my reflexes were protecting me from falling earlier, this time, it was much faster pulling my head back and stood straight.

Kas....uy ate Deanna, nandito ka pala!

H...hi! I waved my hand to whoever greeted me. My back still facing them as I was still trying to calm myself down from embarrassment.

Or more on frustration?

Ugh!

Hi Jem!

And whose voice is that??? I looked at Jema and she, as well, was confused.

Ahm, kasama namin si ate Fhen, someone answered my loud thought.

Fhen?

Fhen??

Her ex???

I turned around to see a smiling Fhen Emnas, holding a bouquet of white roses, whose smile turned into a frown upon seeing me.

I politely smiled and slightly waved at her. Hi! kimi kong bati sa kanya.

Ikaw ang bagong kasambahay ni Jema? nakangisi niyang tanong sa halip na suklian ang pagbati ko.

I raised my left brow with what she said. Yung inis na pinipigilan ko dahil sa naunsyumi naming moment ni Jema ay tuluyang humalagpos sa dibdib ko sa sinabi ni Fhen.

I looked at myself, and yes, I'm still wearing an apron and holding a broom.

Fhen! An..anong ginagawa mo dito? si Jema na mabilis na lumapit sa bwisita.

Yes, bwisita. Dahil bigla akong nabuwisit sa sinabi ni Emnas.

Binibisita ka. Lagi naman akong bumibisita sa'yo di ba? sagot ng babae.

Lagi???

Why do you sound so surprised? tanong pa ni Emnas. For you nga pala. Sana magustuhan mo. Iniabot nito ang bulaklak kay Jema. Tinanggap naman ng babae iyon habang nakatingin sa akin.
