"In a bed beside you.. yes, I'd like that.. I promise I won't do anything."
Promise? Sinulyapan ko siya tsaka ngumisi.
"You promise empty Doc. You're still hard on"
Nagkatinginan kami saka siya unang nag-iwas. Nakita ko ang perpektong ngiti niya. Yung uri ng ngiti na alam mong totoong natutuwa.
"You haven't tasted me yet, Architect."
"Auto-pass. I'm not starving."
"Lezetshëm! (Cute / how cute)"
Napabuntong hininga ako. Gustong-gusto kong itanong kung ano ang sinabi niya. Kaso naisip ko na hindi naman siya nagtatanong pag nagtatagalog ako, so I should do the same.
"So your place?" He broke the silence.
"Just go straight then left"
Natahimik na ang biyahe namin. It was actually quick. Nang tumigil na ang sasakyan sa harap ng hotel ay pareho kaming tahimik.
"So uhm.." sabay naming bigkas. Pareho kaming natawa sa nangyari. I felt like he was about to say something but I was quick to counter that- to make him not say anything.
"Sayonara then." I kissed his cheeks in gratitude. Nakita ko ang pagpipigil sa katawan niya. I walked out of his car and proceeded to the elevator. Agad kong pinindot ang tamang floor ng suite ko.
Doon na ako nakaramdam ng pagod, I think I can sleep soundly tonight. Sisiguraduhin kong tanghali na ako gigising.
Just when the doors about to close, a hand came in between to stop it. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita siyang humahangos at medyo pawisan. He looked straight into my eyes. Bigla tuloy akong napatayo ng tuwid. Instinct.
"You sure don't want me tonight, sweetheart?"
I was taken aback. I couldn't process things dahil sa itsura niya. Parang kdrama lang o yung mga nababasa ko sa libro. Something hot travelled my chest. Bigla akong natakot sa titig niya. Mukha siyang magnanakaw and for a split second I considered giving him everything.
Pumasok siya sa loob ng elevator na lalong nagpakaba sa akin. He was quick to scoop my body next to him followed by a sheepish smile.
"You hesitated. You couldn't answer."
"You-"
He gave me a taste.
The lightning thief kissed the world out of me inside this freaking elevator. His mouth tasted bitter, sweet and woody- he tasted like an old cardboard box of peanuts. This is why I don't like whisky!
But then I couldn't remove my lips from his. I am a hundred twenty percent interested in him less a hundred percent para sa pagiging kupal niya.
The elevator opened. Binuksan ko ang isang mata ko para tingnan kung nasa tamang floor naba ako. And then I heard giggles, damn it. May sumakay.
But the doctor couldn't care less and I have no energy to push him away. Parang nahigop na ang huwisyo ko sa halik niya at ang lahat ng lakas ko ay nasa mga labi ko nalang.
He was kissing me hungrily with no reservation. I don't even need to respond to his kisses because he's doing everything or maybe I'm still in shock to process that I'm mouth to mouth with the person I said I disliked earlier.
"Where's your place?" He said in between kisses. His mouth trailed down my neck and I stupidly moaned. Fuck it!
No one has ever kissed me in the neck. Tangina. Kahit mga ex ko hanggang mukha lang! Epekto ba to ng Copper Mug na 'yon? Diko dapat sinobrahan ng inom non, kahit masarap ay parang lumulutang na ako. I even danced for Pete's sake and now, there's this thief who's eyes can make me surrender everything I have.
