Flowers

Tila ako galing sa marathon pagka-gising ko. Naramdaman ko agad yung sakit sa bawat bahagi ng katawan ko. Dahan dahan akong umupo para sumandal sa headboard ng kama. I know this isn't mine. I slept again in his room.

Bumukas yung pinto.

"You're awake," sweats are dripping from his face to his jersey shirt.

"Hmm..." napahawak ako sa ulo ko. "Kanina ka pa nag-jojogging?"

"Yeah, I had a really bad hangover," nilapag niya yung airpods niya sa table. "I have to run out just so for my senses to awake." He shook his head, looking so regretful.

"Hmm..." Tugon ko nalang dahil hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko.

Natigilan siya at tumungin saakin kaya umayos ako ng upo.

"You must be hungry now," he stated as a matter of fact. "Anyway, sinabihan ko na si ate Aya na dalhin yung breakfast natin dito."

"Ahh.. T-thank you.."

I removed the blanket on my lap and my eyes widen when realization creep into me. Nag-init bigla ang muka ko sa kahihiyan dahil iba na ang suot ko. Could it be? Napatingin ako kay Theo na kanina pa ata tinitingnan ang reaksyon ko.

"Uhh..."

"What's your problem?"

"Y-yung damit ko kasi,"

Bumababa ang tingin niya sa suot ko at striktong tumaas ang kilay. Nakagat ko ang labi ko.

"What? There's nothing wrong with it. You even looked..." Lumunok siya. "H-hot" umiwas siya ng tingin.

My lips parted. He slowly turn his back on me and heard him curse. Napaubo ako dahil tila nalunod ata ako sa sinabi niya. Hot? Nakapajama terno lang naman ako? Seriously?!

"Hindi kasi 'yu—"

"Then what is it?!" Tila naaasar niya ding tanong. "Damn..." He whispered.

"Sino ang nagpalit saakin!?" Natanong ko narin.

He sighed heavily. "I thought you're asking otherwise," he said to himself. "Si ate Aya kasi!" Tila natauhan niyang sabi. Teka, tama ba nakikita ko? Nahihiya siya?

"Ahh.. akala ko kasi.." umiwas ako ng tingin.

"I wanna talk with you abou—w-what again?"

"Uhh.. bakit ka kasi n-naghuhubad?" Tila siya na stuck sa pagtaas ng damit niya kaya lalo akong natulala sa abs.

"This is my room. Besides, I'm full of sweats. Why? You're tempted?" Hinubad niya na nang tuluyan ang damit niya at lumapit saakin.

"Huwag ka na lumapit!"

"Sol, as if I'm going to eat you,"

Oh my god. Patawarin mo nawa ang naiisip ko. Pinitik niya nang mahina ang noo ko.

"Ha! Aray! Ano ba kasi 'yun?" I shouted out of nervous.

"Don't shout. Stop thinking wordly things. I don't meant anything when I'm talking with a baby." Ngumisi siya saakin.

"I'm not a b-baby.." kahit gusto kong tinatawag niya ako nun.

"Honey?"

"Uhh.."

He suddenly gave me a menacing look.

"Bakit gustong-gusto mo yang 'uhh' 'uhh'. It doesn't sounds good. Are you talking to guys with that habit? If yes, starting now you're not allowed to say it. Maybe for me, it's accepted."
