Playing with Flames

"At paano niyo naman nasasabing mahina kami ha?" I raised a brow.

"Because a woman has always had this soft spot in them. They easily get attached, fall, or can be fooled by someone."

Mabilis kaming napalingon sa bukana ng kusina matapos marinig ang pagsulpot ng isang boses. Agad akong napaayos ng tayo matapos makilala kung sino ito.

Rhod.

"What on earth are you doing here, fucker?" Tanong pa nito sa kaibigan sa naiinis na boses.

"Hahaha, chill lang dude. Nagugutom ako e kaya ako pumunta dito." Depinsa naman agad ni Kyden.

"Sobrang lapit lang ng kitchen ko sa guest room, fucker. Why would you still choose to be here?" He asked with brows furrowed.

"Wow ha! Pinagdadamot mo kaya kitchen mo sa'kin. Staka wala ng laman yong fridge. Ano kakainin ko roon?"

He never replied. He just walked toward us.

Hindi ko mapigilang pagmasdan ang kabuuan niya habang papalapit sa kinaroroonan namin.

Bakit parang pareho lang ata ang suot ng isang 'to kagabi at ngayon?

Ganon ba ka importante ang araw na ito at maaga talaga siyang nagising o baka naman hindi pa talaga ito nakakapagbihis simula kagabi?

He's still wearing his white polo shirt and black pants. And his black coat left hanging on his left arm.

"Grabe dude, masyado ka naman atang napagod last night at hindi mo na nagawa pang magpalit ng damit mo?" Pang-aasar ni Kyden sa kaniya habang ngumangatngat ng egg sandwich niya.

So, hindi pa pala talaga siya nakapagpalit!

"Shut up, fucker! Get dressed!" He hissed out before throwing his coat towards Kyden's face.

Dahilan para mahinto ni Kyden ang akma na sana niyang pagkagat sa kinakain.

"The hell, dude?!"

"Tss, you're exposing too much of your body, fucker." He said in a monotone before leading towards the sink. He then washed up his hands there.

"Woah, possessive huh? I like that, dude. Hahaha." Kyden teased him more.

"Fuck you! Just get dressed or else."

"Hahaha, oo na. Masyado namang maganda ang bungad mo sa umaga." Natatawang sagot nalang ni Kyden bago napipilitang isuot ang coat. Nagmukha tuloy itong model ng isang sikat na clothing line.

"What are you doing here?" Rhod asked.

"Ako? Malamang nagpapalipas ng sama ng loob. Hahaha."

"I'm not referring to you, fucker."

Agad naman akong napahinto sa paghigop ng kape matapos malamang ako pala ang tinutukoy ng loko.

"Oh, I see... my bad, Hahaha."

"Shut the fuck up, Kyden!"

"Okay, okay, kakain na nga lang."

"You, what are you doing here?" He asked again. But this time, he's looking at me.

"Ano ba sa tingin mo ang ginagawa ko dito?" pangbabara ko naman.

"Watch out for whom you are talking to, woman."

"Fine! Umiinom lang ng kape."

"Tss, nonsense!"

"Hah, nagtanong ka pa, sungit!" I murmured.

"What did you say?"

"Wala, ang sabi ko saan ang lakad mo ngayon?"

"You don't need to know." He answered in monotone while trying to dry up his hands with a towel.
