Nagsimula nang magsialisan ang mga bisita after ng mga picture takings. Dad is still busy talking to some persons. Our househelpers are gathering all the gifts.
"Dad." I slightly poke his arm so I could grab his attention.
When he glanced at me, I smiled and kissed him on his cheek. "Can I have an afterparty with uh...my friends?"
Mukhang masyadong masaya ata si Daddy dahil mabilis itong tumango sa akin at saka binigyan ako ng pera.
Nagmamadali ako sa pagbihis. I wore a peach spaghetti silky dress that's above my knee, paired with a two-inches beige block heels. Inilugay ko na rin ang naka-bun kong buhok.
Sana lang ay walang masyadong tao sa may parking area. Ayoko rin kasi na madumihan ang isip ng ibang mga tao about kay Sir. He have an image to take care of.
Pagkabukas ng elevator ay nakita ko si Sir na nakasandal sa kanyang sasakyan. Wala na ang coat na suot nito kanina at tanging ang puting longsleeves na nakatupi hanggang siko ang tumatakip sa kanyang katawan.
I quickly walked near him. Mabilis na umangat ang kanyang tingin sa akin. He pursed his lips and opened the shotgun door for me. Sorry, Dad, I lied.
Halos maduwal ako habang papasok ng makita ang isang napakagandang boquet. It looks so elegant with a touch of both gold and silver. Red roses were surrounding a sunflower. I bit my cheeks inside to stop myself from smiling.
"You asked me to come here to get your other gift?" I shamelessly asked him right after he slid his self inside.
"I'm craving for ice cream sandwich. I don't have any company with me." He shrugged his shoulders.
I bursted out into laughter. Masama niya akong tiningnan. "You should've told me about ice cream sandwich so that I can personally serve it on your plate!"
He rolled his eyes that made me laughed more. He just fucking rolled his eyes at me!
"Old man's rolling his eyes na rin." Mabilis niyang pinaandar ang kanyang sasakyan kaya naman halos mataranta ako sa pag seatbelt.
"Old man doesn't drive like this one, little girl."
I slapped him on his shoulder. " I just turned eighteen!"
Huminto ang kanyang sasakyan sa isang tahimik na convenient store. Napangisi ako ng makitang naghahanap talaga siya ng ice cream sandwich.
He bought two and gave the other one for me. We silently sat outside the store.
"What's your gift for me?" I asked him after biting on my ice cream. Ang sarap! First time ko kumain nito.
"You'll see it once you open it." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Ang dami kayang regalo para sa akin. How would I know which one is yours?"
"You're not addressing me as 'Sir' ha" He teasingly said.
Susulitin ko na to, birthday ko pa naman eh.
"We're outside the school premises plus, no one can hear or see us." I sounded so confident but deep inside my heart is about to went out of my body.
"Why? You want to open my gift first?"
"I actually opened Andy's gift already." Mahigpit kong tinikom ang bibig ko matapos kaming mabalot ng katahimikan.
If Andy is right about what he said awhile ago, damn, I am going to do everything.
"Let's go home." Mabilis kong sinubo ang kalahati ng ice cream dahil sayang naman at bigay niya iyon.
Buong biyahe ay tahimik lamang kami. Tinigil niya ang kanyang sasakyan sa bakanteng lote malapit sa amin.
"Are you mad?" I asked him after I had removed my seatbelt.
Damn, Gabriel Lacson! Do something!
"Why would I?" He scoffed.
"Because I opened Andy's gift, first." Swear, I am calling all the angels and saints to make this assumption in my head as facts.
He didn't answer. "Okay. You're jealous." I was about to opened the door when he held my wrist.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng maramdaman ang pagdampi ng kanyang mga labi sa akin.
First, it was just a smack until I slowly felt him tasting my lips. When I was about to respond he let go of my lips.
"That's a...professional kiss." My jaw literally dropped after what he said.
Siguro ay dala ng kaba, mabilis akong lumabas sa kanyang sasakyan. Takot din naman pala ako! Professional kiss? Bakit? Dahil professor ko siya? God! Ganon na ba ang professional kiss? I can imagine it with tongues...oh please, Donna! Stop!
I was holding my lips until I fell asleep. That is something I should be happy about right?
Ngunit nang mag lunes na ay para akong nabudburan ng maraming asin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang aking mararamdaman. Should I ask him about us?
Oh God! The idea of us being in a relationship is slowly bringing me to heaven!
"Para kang kiti-kiti." Halos mapatalon ako sa aking kinakatayuan ng marinig ang boses ni Andy.
Lumapit ako sa kanya. "We kissed." I whispered enough for him to hear.
Halos mabilaukan si Andy sa sarili niyang laway matapos marinig ang sinabi ko.
"Putangina!" He said almost breathless. My forehead creased about his sudden curse.
"Stop cursing!" Maarte kong saad.
"That's illegal!" I rolled my eyes at him.
Illegal lang naman iyon kung mukhang lolo na si Sir. He looks so young and fresh.
"Donna, makinig ka sa akin." He motioned me to sit down in one of the red benches. "Prof mo 'yon. Kapag may nakaalam nang tungkol sa inyo, maaaring kasuhan si Sir. Maari rin na mawalan siya ng license niya -" I cut him off.
"Of course, no one will know! Ikaw lang naman ang kaibigan ko." I bitterly said.
He sighed in defeat. "Okay. Just...be careful, ha? And act normal. Mahihirapan tayo kapag nahuli kayo sa kaharutan niyo but damn!" He shook his head then laugh. "Kaya pala tinanong niya ako kung nililigawan ba kita kasi gusto ka niya!"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko habang nakatingin kay Andy. This...traitor!
"He what?" I unbelievably asked.
"He asked me-" He was cut off by one his friends. I rolled my eyes upon hearing Dale's voice.
"Andy! May pasok na!" Dale shouted and looked at me with disgust. Kala mo naman ang pogi niya!
"Bye, Donna! Ingat ha!" He winked at me and run towards Dale.
