“Wait!”
Hahabulin ko na sana siya nang hinila na naman ako ni Kim. Napakagat na lang ako sa pang-ibabang labi ko nang maalala ko na naman na narito nga pala siya.
“Honey, tell me, that ain't true, right?” she asked, pushing me on my swivel chair.
She sits on my lap before holding my cheeks, making me look at her. Ano naman ang sasabihin ko sa kaniya? I can say nothing to her.
“Um….”
I didn't happen to speak more when her lips landed on mine. I feel her touching my chest before trying to unbutton my long-sleeved polo and I am not liking it.
“Kim, stop it,” I enunciate by grabbing her hand and moving away from the kiss.
I slowly pushed her from sitting on my lap and get on my feet. I then fix myself. I don't like it, I don't like her. I don't like what she's doing.
“I have to go,” sabi ko saka lumakad palabas ng opisina ko.
“Matthew!” she called me but I didn't bother looking back.
I have no time to see her face. I don't need her anyway. I don't her kisses, I don't need her touches. I need nothing from her.
“Did she left the building already?” tanong ko sa secretary ko.
May CCTV monitor din kasi siya na pinalagay ko malapit sa desk niya facing just the elevator of every floor in this building. It's for monitoring the invited and uninvited like the women who just got and gone at my office.
“Lumabas po siya sa twentieth floor. Siksikan po kasi sa elevator gawa ng noon break,” paliwanag niya.
Agad akong sumakay sa private elevator where only VIP's are allowed. Bumaba ako sa floor na sinabi niya pero wala na siya. Agad akong bumalik para bumaba sa ground floor pero mukhang 'di ko na rin siya naabutan pa.
“Fuck!” I hissed, turning around back to where I came from and suddenly bumped into someone.
“Ouch, I'm sor—” she said.
Napahinto siya at agad na nagtaas ng kilay nang makita ako, “Anong ginagawa mo rito?”
Instead of answering, I hugged her tight. Sorry for being cheesy, but you can't blame me. I am just happy seeing her here.
“Hindi ba't ako ang dapat na magtanong sa'yo niyan?”
Hindi siya nagsalita, sinubukan lang niyang kumawala sa pagkakayakap ko nang isang beses at hindi na muling pumalag.
“You could have just keep it or throw it or whatever but you didn't. You even brought it here for me. Sweet,” I teased.
It feels so good, you know, having her within my arms like this? This just feels so good.
“Ahm, g–get away.”
She started pushing me again but I didn't let go.
“Why?” I asked, waiting for her answer.
“Anong why? Because you are hugging me so you should let me go,” inis na sagot nito pero hindi pa rin ako nagpatinag.
