Kay is slowly lowering his head.
Nagpapanic ang kalooban ni Leighton. Mukhang pagsisisihan niya ang pagpapapunta kay Kay sa unit niya. Ang gusto lang naman niya ay ma-enlightened; hindi ang madagdagan pa lalo ang confusion niya.
Before anything could happen, Leighton blocked Kay’s lips with his palm. He abruptly stirred so now Kay is lying beside him. He blew out air to expel the petal in his lips. “I think you’re getting the wrong signal. Pinapunta kita rito hindi para i-seduce ako. You’re here because I want you to apologize and swear you’ll never do that again.”
Ngumiti si Kay habang hindi inaalis ang mga mata kay Leighton. “You told me anonymously that I’m a sick dick. At may suspetsa ako na ikaw lang rin naman ang nag-leak ng number ko. You should be the one to apologize.”
Leighton was taken aback. Hindi niya sigurado kung totoong nahuli na siya ni Kay sa mga pinaggagagawa niya o hinuhuli pa lamang. Either way, hindi siya aamin at hindi rin tatanggi. His ego is above anything else.
Hinawakan siya ni Kay sa baba. “Aminin mo nang nagpapapansin ka sa akin tutal tayong dalawa lang naman ang nandito. But if you really can’t… then I’ll have to punish you.”
Naningkit ang mga mata ni Leighton. Mabuti na lang at lampshade lang ang light source ng kanyang kuwarto kundi ay mas lalo siyang tutuyain ni Kay kapag nakita nitong pulang-pula na siya. He may not see it, he could strongly feel it. “You—”
Leighton wanted to curse himself for not being able to predict whatever Kay is going to do. For the second time, Kay conquered his lips. Pilit na pumalag si Leighton pero hindi iyon nagtagal. He was easily crippled by Kay’s touch. Ramdam ni Leighton ang kamay ni Kay sa hita niya at papaitaas iyon.
“Uhh… ‘W-Wag diyan! No!” Sigaw ni Leighton. Sigaw lang. Kay is not even pinning him hard now. The will to free himself from Kay escaped him. It’s like a hidden switch inside him was turned on.
The sensation is new to him. For all his life, hindi pa niya na-e-explore ang sensual side ng kanyang pagkalalake. He grew afraid of it. Natatakot siya na baka matulad siya sa kanyang ama na hindi marunong makuntento.
Nag-focus na lamang siya sa pag-aaral dahil doon lang naman siya magaling. Sa kasamaang palad ay wala na siyang ibang talento bukod pa doon.
Leighton suddenly became languid, giving Kay all the permissions. He just wrapped his hands around Kay’s waist.
Walang anu-ano’y itinulak siya ni Kay. Naupo ito sa kama ngunit nakatingin pa rin kay Leighton. Kay smiled impishly as if enjoying seeing Leighton caught between euphoria and suspense.
“You’re so naïve,” Iiling-iling si Kay habang sinasabi iyon kay Leighton. Tumayo na siya at saka lumabas ng kuwarto.
Kay left him just like that; kung kailan nagsimula nang maghanap ang katawan niya. Now he was deprived of something unknown. He became tensed. His excitation was replaced by a burning sensation. Every inch of his body ached. He crouched in his bed thinking that might help suppress his pain.
Iyon ba ang tinutukoy ni Kay na punishment?
