Never Classic

Chapter 27

I waited outside. Gaya ng sinabi ni Kristan ay hindi naman siya natagalan. He was wearing a black leather jacket.

"You do realize that you don't feel cold, right?" natatawa kong sabi dahil balot na balot pa siya. "Plus, you are a vampire."

"This is fashion," he mumbled.

I burst into laughter. When did this man care about fashion? Mas dinaig niya pa ako na ngayo'n ay naka blush red spaghetti strap dress lang.

"You haven't changed your dress since you changed when you got here." He was being playful toward me and my mood. "I don't remember you wearing only one dress for the whole day."

"Well..." Humawak ako sa braso niya saka siya kinindatan. "That's because I want you to undress me later."

Inipit niya ang kamay ko sa kanyang braso bago kami naglakad. Naramdaman kong hinawakan niya ang kamay ko saka 'yon pinasok sa bulsa ng leather jacket niya.

It was strange how this man could put me in so much confusion and in an instant peace at the same time. It was strange because I'd never felt this way before.

This is all new to me. I don't know how to handle it so I'm trying to go with the flow. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako dadalhin ng daloy na ito.

"Is a vampire pet a thing?" Kristan suddenly asked.

There was nothing funny, but I found myself laughing hysterically. He was serious, but I found it hilarious. Everything was hilarious.

"Hindi mo naman iniisip na gawing bampira si Lilly, right?" tanong ko.

Pinasok niya rin ang kanyang kamay sa bulsa ng jacket kung nasaan ang kamay ko. Naramdaman kong hinaplos niya ako.

"Hindi ba puwede?" tanong niya.

"Of course not. You are the vampire pet. My vampire pet."

That... sounded good in my ear.

"Right?" He halted and turned to me. Hinawakan niya ang mga balikat ko saka bahagyang nilapit ang mukha sa akin. "I am your vampire pet."

That... sounded better when he said it.

"Yeah..." I smiled. "Just all mine."

"And you are my possessive lady."

"Master. Your possessive master," I corrected him.

He chuckled. "My possessive lady sounds better. Let's just call it that."

I agreed.

I felt something moved behind the bush so I moved away from Kristan. Napansin niya rin 'yon kaya dumistansya siya palayo sa akin.

My attention was too focused on Kristan that I didn't noticed we were being spied. Yumuko ako at pumulot ng bato. Pinaglaruan ko muna ito bago binato sa direksyon na 'yon.

"Caught it!" nakangiting sabi ni Resty.

"Fuck you, Mr. Escariaga!" Lumabas din doon si Erikson saka sinapak sa balikat si Resty. "Why did you have to catch it?"

"Gago ka kasi. Bakit ba tayo nagtatago?" singhal ni Resty saka pinagpagan ang mga dumikit sa damo sa ulo niya.

"You may show up now, Hestia," I said.

Hestia showed up just behind them. Nakangiwi ang kanyang labi saka ring sinapak sa balikat si Resty. Sinigawan niya rin ito.

"Where's the cat?" tanong ni Resty.

Kristan moved away when the three of them approached me. Tiningnan ko nang masama sina Erikson at Hestia.

"What was that?" I asked them.
