"Buntis ka na ba? Bakit parang ang takaw mo ngayon?"

I rolled my eyes. "Kanina ka pa buntis ng buntis. Wala ka na bang ibang sasabihin kung hindi 'yon?"

Natawa si Poly habang isinusubo ang kanin. We met in a restaurant nearby. Nakita kong nakasuot na naman siya ng outfit niya at mukhang kakagaling lang sa isang photoshoot.

"Five months, wala pa ring nangyayari?" she glanced at me meaningfully, trying to analyze my reaction.

I bit my lip to compose myself. I just remembered the make-out and dry humping sessions which made my whole face flushed. Napainom tuloy ako ng tubig.

"Wala," I answered.

Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata. "Really? Your reaction seems off. So, may nangyayari nga?"

"Wala nga."

Dahil sa nerbyos ay napaso ako sa sabaw na hinigop ko at nasamid. She quickly gave me a tissue. Nakita ko ang eksaheradang pagbabago ng mukha niya habang nakatingin sa'kin.

"Oh meu Deus!" she gasped. "Nagsex na kayo?!"

Napalakas ang boses niya kaya may mga napatingin sa table namin. Almost everyone inside the restaurant gave us a judgmental look. I immediately shoved a meat on her mouth to shut her up.

"Alam mo talaga minsan Poly, papaslakan ko na ng buhay na manok 'yang bunganga mo."

"That won't fit." she said as if she tried it before.

"Obviously, airhead!"

"Pero mabalik tayo sa topic." she leaned at me with a wide and malicious smile. "You really did it?"

"Hindi nga, ang kulit."

"Bakit ka ganyan makareact kanina? You look like you remembered something." natigilan ako at namula dahil sa pagpupuna niya. "That look! So why are you reacting like that?"

"Alright," I sighed. "We haven't done it but...w-we...made out."

She sneered. "He's your first kiss, right?

"Yeah..." napainom ulit ako ng tubig.

"So, how was it? How's the famous Darius Leonix Velarde's kiss be like?" she curiously asked. "He's a good kisser already based on his reputation, but how about his wife's judgment, huh?"

"Wife?" I asked while sipping on my water.

"Duh, I'm talking about you! You're married to him, right?"

Nabuga ko 'yong iniinom ko nang magsink-in sa'kin. Yeah right, stupid Blaire! You married that brute! Bakit ba palagi kong nakakalimutan?!

"O-Of course, h-he's a good kisser." pambawi ko.

"Elaborate?"

"Bakit ba curious ka?" my eyes narrowed at her. "Ba't 'di mo halikan?"

"Ew, Blaire! It's like you're telling me to lick a poop." eksaheradang ngumiwi siya. "He's like a brother to me so no thank you. Besides, he's my distant relative so, yuck!"

Natawa ako sa reaksyon niya. Mukha kasi siyang diring-diri. Bumalik siya sa pagkain ng chicken. She's on her third rice already. Sana nagbuffet na lang kami, mukhang sulit na sulit kapag binitbit ko 'tong babaeng 'to.

Matapos naming kumain ay nag-aya siyang magwindow shopping. Nakita kong halos lahat ng makasalubong namin ay binabati siya. Ang iilan pa ay nagpapapicture. Sa tindig niya pa lang ay agaw atensyon na.
