"Why not? It's more entertaining than doing this folding-organizing the things aren't even yours when I'm here as your boyfriend. Yours truly."
I arched my brow, I smirked when his eyes sparkled playfully.
"So anong gusto mong gawin ko? Ikaw ang organisahin ko at itupi sa walo?"
Ngumiwi siya. "Brutal! What I mean is, we should just watch a movie or pig out while playing games. Anything could be really an entertainment for us. Not this."
"We can do that after this. And what pig out? I'm already a pig! I can't pig out anymore! Nagda-diet ako."
I sighed inwardly. Here's my damn issue again, naiisip ko na naman na ang taba-taba ko at kung kakain ako ay baka mas tumaba lalo. Ayaw ko noon, kaso hilig talaga ni Horace mag food trip. Paano ko siya masasabayan kung takot ako? Minsan sumasabay ako pero sa pagtatapos ng araw ay umiinom ako ng tsaa o gamot na makakabawas timbang. Sometimes, I had to stop taking because my stomach wasn't used to it but usually, I couldn't stop. My motivation is to lose weight.
He grinned lightly. "You're cute, I love your figure very much. You don't need to be thin to look beautiful or something. You are the newest definition of sexy."
My heart softened but it wouldn't be enough to melt my motivation on losing weight. Nakakalambot puso lang dahil naaappreciate niya ako bilang ganito at hindi kailanman pinintasan sa pagiging mataba.
"Well, I don't! I still wanna be thin and reach the size I want to get since then. Ayaw ko na ring matawag na baboy o mataba, nakakasawa."
Naalala ko iyong nabanggit ni Aliyah na mahilig daw si Horace chubby, hindi ko alam kung totoo pero siguro kaya niya rin ako nagustuhan ay dahil doon? I suddenly wondered, what if I'm thin? Siguro mas marami pa akong makikilalang lalaki na magugustuhan ako! Hmm, siguro hindi lang si Horace ang guwapo kong manliligaw noon.
He looked at me. "You should not think bad about the size you're having 'cause it's actually one of your uniqueness."
I shrugged and smiled. Ewan ko, hindi pa rin ako naniniwala roon dahil mas gusto ko iyong kaya kong masuot ang lahat ng gugustuhin na walang mamimintas. However, I appreciate his compliment. It flatters me.
On the next day, we did the same routine of organizing his unit. Tapos na kami sa kuwarto niya kaya sa sala na ako nag-ayos, mas konti naman ang aayusin kaysa kahapon. Kumpleto ang unit sa kagamitang pambahay kaya parang kuwarto lang ni Horace ang matrabahong ayusin kahapon sa dami niyang damit at sapatos. His room has a walk-in closet, we put his shoes in the tall glass cabinet there. Hindi pa nga nagkasya kaya sa lapag na lang ang mga natira.
Horace was busy on his Macbook and cellphone due to work calls and some important matters. After arranging magazines under the center table, I sat down on the couch he's in. Prente akong humikab habang pinapasadahan ng tingin ang sala, ang mga kahon ay wala nang laman at maayos na ang mga gamit niya. It was enjoying to do things here!
I felt him hug me from the side, his nose pressed on my neck and sniff. Paborito niyang gawain iyon, napansin ko. Mabuti na lang at hindi ako masyadong pawisin dito dahil aircon ang buong unit niya. Siyempre, sinisigurado kong mabango ako dahil alam kong ganito siya kadikit parati! Nakakahiya naman kung may amoy.
"I wanna play something," he said against my neck and planted butterfly kisses before facing me a bit.
Kumunot ang noo ko at tiningnan siya, his hand slid behind my lower back and the other on my lap. I'm still having a heart attack everytime he's this close.
"Hmm. Rock, paper, scissor!"
Suminghap ako. "Facebook pa, Horace! Alam ko na 'yan, kapag natalo ako... hahalik ka!"
