"Why am I feeling this way?" I whispered to myself.
Hindi agad ako nakatulog dahil sa sinabi niya. Pakiramdam ko ay kinikiliti ang aking tiyan.
What have you done, Jagger?!
Ugh! What the hell! Do I liked him too?
No! Not yet!
I mean, no way!
Weekdays have passed. Tuwing uwian ay sinusundo niya ako at kumakain kami sa street foods or 'di kaya ay sa restaurant nag-early dinner.
Habang kumakain kami sa bench ng street foods ay bigla siyang nagsalita. "Uh, do you want to visit my condo? I mean, kain tayo roon bukas ng breakfast. Paglulutuan kita."
I looked at him and glared. "Are you planning to do something to me?" Ibinaba ko ang kinakain sa upuan at pinag-ekis ang braso, hinaharangan ang dibdib.
"Hey," itinaas niya ang parehong kamay. I laughed at his reaction. He looked guilty!
"I won't do something." He chucked, "Hindi ka ba busy bukas?" he asked.
I shook my head, "Uh, nope. Gagawin ko na lang mga kailangang gawin sa gabi." Tugon ko at muling kumain.
He nodded, "Okay. I'll fetch you at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Is it okay to your parents? They won't get mad at me?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong.
"Wala pa sila sa bahay no'n. I'll just text them." I answered.
I smiled at him. Somehow, I felt excited when he said we're going to his condo. I want to see his place too.
The next day, I woke up early so he won't wait for me for too long. I took a bath and make sure that I smell good. I sprayed perfume on my wrist and neck.
I just wore a printed shirt and jeans. I brushed my hair and put hairpin.
"I want your eggplant, Jagger."
My faced heated when I realized what I said. I can't believe myself!
Kumakain kasi kami ng inihaw na talong. Iyong nasa kanyang plato ay mas mukhang mas masarap at malaki.
Alam kong pareho lang naman lahat pero gusto ko iyong sa kanya!
Iyong nasa akin kasi ay may itim-itim mula sa pagka-ihaw.
"My eggplant?" he chuckled.
"My eggplant underneath or-" I cut him.
"Jagger! You're a perv!" I hissed. Napayuko ako dahil sa hiya.
Iniabot niya sa plato ko ang talong habang tumatawa. Geez, this man!
"I am just kidding, Erica. Ito naman hindi ka pa ba sanay sa 'kin?" I looked at him, he pouted.
I just continued eating. Nakakamay lang kaming kumakain.
Naparami ako ng kain dahil ang sarap ng sawsawan. Soy sauce with onion and garlic. Also, with tomatoes and chili.
"Hmm..." I said while chewing.
"I might get fat with these foods, huh?" I said and laughed. There's also grilled pork chops.
"You're still sexy in my eyes, Erica." He chucked. I glared at him.
"Jagger!"
"What?" natatawa siya. Naglagay pa siya ng ulam sa plato ko!
"I liked the foods you cooked, Jagger." I said wholeheartedly.
I stole a glance. He's smiling while chewing.
After eating together, I roamed around his unit. The colors of his furnitures are black and white. I found his things organized. Napamangha ako roon.
Baka naman nag-ayos lang siya dahil pupunta ako?
He keeps on texting me every morning ang evening.
From: Jagger
Goodmorning, my furious baby! Kumain ka na ba ng breakfast?
I replied.
To: Jagger
Goodmorning :) Not yet. I'm gonna take shower first. Ikaw?
From: Jagger
I'll join you, then.
I scoffed after reading his message. "What the heck?" I whispered to myself. Na-imagine ko na lang bigla na kaming dalawa ay sabay naligo sa banyo!
My face heated. Sinampal ko nang mahina ang aking mukha. "Why am I thinking those things? Gosh." I sighed. He texted again.
From: Jagger
Hey, just kidding. Are you mad? :(
I'm not mad! I was just annoyed about my thoughts!
To: Jagger
Nope.
Naligo na lang ako pagkatapos mag-reply sa kanya. Hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko 'yung ini-imagine ko kanina. Damn you, Jagger!
Nag-gym lang ako kinabukasan at bumili ng food for Jagger. Nag-taxi lang ako papunta sa kanyang condo. I entered and take the elevator. I walked on the hallway ang stopped in front of his door. I breath heavily before knocking.
My eyes widened when he opened the door. He's only wearing a towel! His... abs... I gulped.
"Stop staring, baby." Napabalik na lang ako sa ayos at pumasok na sa loob.
"Uh, for you." I handed him the food I bought.
He closed the door and get the food I bought for him. I can't stop myself from glancing on his abs!
Damn it!
Nilapag niya ang pagkain sa mesa sa kusina. Uminom siya ng tubig at kita ko ang paglunok niya. My face heated. Why am I like this?!
"'Yung laway mo, Erica." Jagger chuckled. Para tuloy akong nanigas sa kinatatayuan ko! I swallowed hard.
"Pandesal," wala sa sarili kong sambit.
"Hmm? You want my pandesal, huh?" His voice were husky.
Para akong nahi-hypnotized. Get yourself back, Erica!
He slowly walked towards me, "Do you want to touch it?" Yumuko siya nang nasa harapan ko na para pumantay sa mukha ko.
My lips parted as he held may right hand and placed on his abs.
He whispered, "Feel it, baby." My body shivered. Halos 'di na ako makahinga! Ang lapit ng mukha niya sa tainga ko.
Hawak pa rin niya ang kamay ko at hinahaplos ang abs niya. Pinagpawisan ako bigla... Pero hindi ko magawang alisin 'yung kamay ko! Ramdam na ramdam ko 'yung abs niya!
Geez! Ang sarap tignan at nahawakan ko pa!
Wait.. What did I say?! What the hell! I'm going insane!
"J-Jagger, b-bitaw." Nauutal kong sabi.
He leaned closer to my face, "Hmm?" I looked at him. He's smirking.
I closed my eyes. I don't know why... Maybe, I'm waiting for his kiss? Because he's too close to my face!
Naramdaman ko na lang na hinalikan niya ang noo ko. I opened my eyes suddenly. Mali ang inaasahan ko.
"Not yet. I'll wait for you to answer me before I can kiss you," he smiled at pat my head. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung may mukha ba akong maihaharap sa kanya!
