Para kaming non-ending na hagdanan. Pataas ng pataas pero walang hangganan yung hagdan. Labo.
"I miss you." he murmured sabay kiss niya sa tip ng cute kong nose. "Let's get out of town, out of the country, somewhere we can spend it alone."
"You can't." I whispered while brushing his hair with my fingers. Tumingin siya sa akin ng nagtataka. I simply smiled at him. "Hectic ang schedule n'yo this year. I'm even surprised na nandito ka't walang ginagawa."
"Jhem, come on. I can't do this, not always like this, it sucks."
"Naman, cupcake eh. H'wag mong sirain yung mood."
I felt his chest vibrated when he groaned. Hinatak niya ako papalapit sa kanya. He leaned his forehead down to mine then he stared at my eyes like he's searching something in there. "Gusto ko nang sabihin. Hindi ko lang magawa dahil mako-kompromiso ka. I hate those girls whether they are actresses or not, iniisip nilang kaya nila akong hawakan o lapitan o kausapin dahil wala ka para pigilan 'yon. Naiinis ako, I can't put up with that anymore. I wanted to tell them I have a girlfriend. I wanted to tell them I love you."
"I understand, I know. Gagawa tayo ng paraan. Huh? Gagawan natin ng paraan 'yan, don't worry. Cheer up na, cupcake."
"Sa bahay mo'ko matutulog mamaya."
I grunted then glared at him. "Paparazzi."
"I don't care. Sa bahay mo'ko matutulog."
Fine, ayoko na, suko na'ko! "Sige na nga."
Ngumiti na siya tapos he kissed my lips soundly before ko narinig ang pagbukas ng pintuan ng opisina ko. Natakot ako, it might be someone from the board or a utility. They can't see us like this, shit!
"Idol! Maupo ka, may kailangan akong itanong."
Shet. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag do'n. "Tinakot mo'ko, Jiagh. Akala ko kung sino na."
Hindi siya sumagot, pumasok lang siya ng opisina. Nagkatinginan kami ni cupcake. Mukha kasing balisa si Jiagh tapos a bit flustered and nervous. Naupo ako sa may swivel chair ko, pumwesto sa likuran ko si cupcake para i-massage ang balikat ko. He's always so good with massaging.
Jiagh began pacing back and forth sa harapan ko. Napakunot ako ng noo. "May problema ba, Idol? Bakit bigla kang napasugod?"
"Do you know someone named Clyde Gonzales?"
Napatigil ako. Natigilan rin si Mico. Oh hell no. This is so not happening. "C-Clyde Gonzales? What about him?"
