"What if I want to cook for myself? Hotdog and eggs?" Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay.
"Baby, please at least change..." The roughness on his voice was very evident. Ram groaned, his shoulders tightening as he looked at me.
What? What's wrong with my nighties?
"I see nothing wrong with my choice of clothing," sabi ko at tiningnan ang sarili.
I looked down at myself in my white silk nighties. One strap was down and since I wasn't wearing any bra, my left pink pearl was almost peeking.
Kaagad na lumaki ang aking mga mata! Holy shit! Kanina pa ba ito?! God!
I immediately grabbed a pillow and used it as a shield from Ram. I was so shook that my phone almost fell out of my hands. Hindi man lang niya sinabi kanina.
Bloody hell! Nakita niya na!
"I...I d-didn't mean to do that! I swear it fell by itself! Damn it!" I saw my face turning bright red, looking so constipated at sa screen. Hiyang-hiya ako sa nangyari!
My lips were shaking so bad. I was so embarassed that I couldn't look at him. My heart wanted jump out of ky ribcage as I peeked a glance from him.
Ram remained dangerously composed on his swivel chair. His eyes was darted on every corner and window of my room before settling on my eyes.
Nanatili siyang tahimik kahit na nakikita ko na ang paparating na panganib sa kaniyang mga mata. Lumandas doon ang dahas ngunit marahang namungay ang kaniyang mga mata.
"Calm down, Chrissy. Its perfectly fine..."
"Perfectly? Fine? Damn you, Ram!"
"Yes. Perfectly fine that you're there. And I'm here. You're so lucky I just flew here in Manila..."
What does that mean?
Hindi man maintindihan ay pinamulahanan ako ng pisngi. Tingin niya'y hindi ko makikita na pinipilit lamang niyang maging kalmado at marahan ang boses. Sinasalubong pa lamang ang kaniyang mga mata ay hinahabol ko na ang hininga.
"What makes you think you can touch me here? You can't!" I looked away. I couldn't meet his darkening eyes.
"I already did, didn't I?" he chuckled.
Why you prick...
"If you weren't so rigid that day, we might've finish one. Naiakyat na kita. Hindi sana tayo inabutan, at hindi sana ako nangangarap..."
Nangangarap ng ano, Ram? Damn it!
"Itatak mo na rin sa isip mong hanggang pangarap ka na lang. Dahil hindi na ulit iyon mangyayari. Freak!"
"Hindi na pwede iyan sa akin, Chrissy. Kung dati ay nagtitiis pa, ngayon ay bawal na," matamis niyang halakhak.
Mas lalong umapaw ang pula sa aking mukha na sa tingin ko ay pati leeg at dibdib ko ay ganoon na rin ang kulay.
Stupid, stupid girl. Stop this.
"I am going to end this call, Ram. If you won't shut your filthy mouth..." my eyes turned into slits as my face continued to burn.
Humalakhak si Ram at napasapo sa ulo. Muli niya akong tiningnan na tila ba inaantok ang mga mata.
Pinagdikit ko ang aking mga hita nang biglaang lumabas sa aking isip ang gabing iyon. Hila. Tulak. Iyak. Mas lalong sumama ang timpla ng aking mukha.
Nagtitiis ba siya sa akin na huwag pa...
"Sweetheart, I was just teasing you! I'm sorry, okay? You're too cute," ngisi niya sa akin.
