Every Line Crossed

ELC10

"Get out. Magbibihis ako." he coldly said, turning his back on me to step behind the divider wall where his large walk-in-closet is.

I chuckled! Oh? Why did he back out so fast?

"Di ako maninilip!"

"Out."

"Ipakita mo nalang?"

"Out!"

I laughed. He's coldly pushing me away yet he doesn't even want to let go of my lips a while ago. What shall I believe huh, Six?

Instead of stepping out of his room, I stepped forward.

"Reese!" iritado niyang tawag saakin kaya nagpatuloy ang pagtawa ko.

"Kukunin ko lang po yung hamper mo, Senyorito!"

He didn't answer anymore, probably because he's already too annoyed. I'm actually starting to get to know the mixtures of personality Six has. And opposite from being feeling scared or off, I'm getting more interested.

Six's hamper basket is not full so I put all the bedsheet, comforter, and pillow slips inside so I can carry it easier.

"Alis na ko!"

"What the fuck, woman!" he said, buckling his pants fast because I peaked in his closet.

I chuckled again. Wala namang akong nakita? What's with the panic? Sayang...

"Bye, Sir. Breakfast ka na sa baba..." I winked at him, turned my back, and leave his room. My hips are automatically swaying with poise while walking out, smiling.

I leaned on the wall beside his door and I touched my lips. My smile became wider. I can still feel how Six's lips brushed into mine! He's my first kiss! Gosh! May first kiss na ako after 21 years! Can you believe that? I thought I could only know what a kiss is through movies... but...

"Ano ba talangang meron sa labi na 'yan ha?"

My back immediately straightened when I heard Ate Glen's voice! Why is she upstairs?!

"Masakit ba labi mo huh?"

I pouted, trying to find some excuse. "Eh ano naman kung masakit nga..."

"Eh kasi, baka magalit na naman ang Senyorito kapag may sumakit ulit sayo. Kami na naman ang sisihin."

I choked on my own saliva. Sunod-sunod akong umubo. What! I don't know that she's still holding some grudge that Six ordered her not to make me wash the laundry! At anong magagalit! Pano magagalit... eh... siya naman ang may gawa nito?

I giggled. Ate looked at me horribly like she doesn't know what's already happening to me.

"Panginoon ko, ano bang sumanib na espirtu sa batang ito." she mumbled. "Dalahin mo na 'yan sa baba! Hindi yung nakatulala lang ka lang dyan, nakasandal ka pa! Nasa pelikula ka ba?"

I flashed her my smile. "Wala ang pelikula, Ate!"

I think I just forgot how movies and novels gave me romantic excitement because it has no match on every little feeling that I felt a while ago and up until now!

Anne accepted the hamper when I entered the laundry area. Tatlo sila nila Ate Martha at Ate Cecile doon. I saw Ate Lucy preparing Six's breakfast in the dining room. Napangiti ako. I continued walking to go back to Six's room.

Tapos na kaya yon mag-bihis? Hmm...

Hindi pa ako nakakaakyat muli ay nakita ko na siyang naglalakad pababa sa grand staircase. I smiled. He looks handsome, as usual. I smiled at him when our eyes met. His face didn't even give a single expression. He eyed me coldly again.
