WHEN HE TOUCHED THE TRIGGER | ASSASSIN SERIES 1

24

"Finish that," he ordered so I slightly nodded.

Ganoon lang? Wala man lang 'Good morning'? Wala ng kiss? E'di 'wag.

Nagsimula na akong kumain kahit nasa tabi ko pa siya, nakatayo. Aalis na sana siya pero naalala kong ako ang may kasalanan. Nasanay na rin akong hinahalikan niya ako pagkagising. I need a kiss, too.

I stood up and made him stop by holding his arm. He coldly looked at me when I did that. I bit my lower lip out of embarrassment. Umatras ako at bumitaw sa pagkakahawak ko sa kaniya.

"Uh.." I trailed off. "H-hihingi lang ako...ng k-kiss..." Halos masampal ko ang ulo ko sa nasabi.

I thought he would shove me away again like he did last night, but I didn't get a response from him. He stayed silent. He just stared at me. His eyes were amused but his grim lips aheaded it. I don't know if he's ammending an expression or not. 

Dahil sa walang kibo niyang asta ay tumingkayad ako para abutin siya. I was about to kiss him in his lips when he leaned closer and he was the one who did it. My eyes widened. It was just a sweet smack. He kissed me in my forehead after. 

"Tsk..." he said after seeing my reaction. He then walked away and I grimaced.

Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagkain ko hanggang sa matapos ako. Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan siya, simula nang lumabas siya ng kusina. Drix mentioned too, that my friends already went back to their own units. Kami na lang pala ni Aki ang naiwang babae rito.

After I washed my plate, I went to the sala only to see Aki, watching some action movie. She tapped the space beside her, informing me to sit down. Naupo ako naman ako roon.

"Where's your boyfriend?" she asked.

Luminga ako sa paligid. "Ewan ko nga e..." I laughed a little.

"Maybe he's upstairs," she replied.

Tumayo ako nang walang pasabi. "Sige, puntahan ko lang kung naroon nga siya..." I said as I walked towards the stairs. Umakyat ako at sinilip ang loob ng kuwarto pagkarating ko.

I saw him zipping a bag while talking to Drix and Ali. Sakto namang lumabas sila Ali at Drix kaya napatigil sila nang makita ako. Drix smirked.

"Suyuin mo..." pang-aasar niya.

Ali chuckled before they went downstairs. Inirapan ko silang dalawa hanggang sa makababa sila.
May alam na silang dalawa sa nangyari kagabi.

I pouted as I neared the door. Sinilip ko siya bago ako tuluyang pumasok.  I opened the door swiftly but he didn't bother to glance at my way.

Lumapit ako sa harapan niya habang nakaupo siya sa kama, nagtutupi ng damit ko sa bag. I held his arm but he continued what he's doing. Hindi ko rin naman siya binitawan.

"Hey..." pagtawag ko.

Hindi siya sumagot.

"Kalvin..." Niyugyog ko siya.

Tumayo siya kaya natanggal ang hawak ko. Umupo naman ako sa kama at inantay siyang makabalik sa pag-upo. Nang muli siyang umupo ay umatras siya para makalayo sa akin.

"Ano ba...Kalvin Jenkins," I warned. "Hindi mo talaga ako papansinin?"

He didn't respond for the nth time.

Yumuko ako sa kaniya at umupo sa tabi niya. Sumiksik ako sa dibdib niya at doon siya niyakap.

"Sorry na..." I pleaded.
