Transaction
"Oh my gosh, have you experience washing dishes before?" I ruffled my hair. Muntikan pang mabasag 'yung plato sa lababo kanina! He turned to me and snorted.
"Damn, is it that hard to wash this? Ugh," he ruffled his hair too, getting irritated now. I sighed disappointedly. Out of patience, i walked towards him and put both of my hands on my waist as I glared at him.
"Here," i scoffed, "I'll teach you how to wash this," referring to the plates. He nodded like a kid. I almost laughed, thank goodness i stopped myself. I held the plate and told him to wash it with water first. He was just listening to me.
"Tapos sunod, get the sponge and soap it," i laughed hysterically and push him a bit, "Basta! Sabunan mo!" i yelled. He smiled. Napatulala ako roon, I cleared my throat so I can't be bother with his smile. He followed what I have said.
"Ayan! You're almost there!" i said happily and even clapped my hands, he looked at me.
But I almost jump when we heard that something had broken. Our eyes widened. The glass slip from his hold kaya nabasag! He was about to collect the small pieces of the broken glass but I stopped him.
"Ako na. You might get hurt. Ang ganda pa naman ng kamay mo," i said bluntly but he blocked me with his arm. I raised my head, looking at him.
"Ako na," he insisted. So I gave up and just nod. He carefully get the broken glass when he screech a bit. I worriedly search for his hand that got wounded. I winced when I saw how how his finger bleeds.
"I'm fine, it's just a cut Fion. Malayo 'yan sa bituka-" i faced him, brows furrowed.
"Anong cut-cut lang? Kahit malayo pa 'yan sa kahit anong internal organs mo, masakit pa rin 'yan. May med kit ka ba dito?" i asked and go to the bathroom. And there i saw a medkit near the sink. I bring it in the sofa where he was sitting.
I blowed up his cut. Then got the betadine out of the kit. He was just staring at me as I mend his finger, I was uncomfortable with his stare but I got used to it eventually.
"'Wag mo nga akong titigan.. nakakailang," I said. I can see him blinked twice and cleared his throat.
"I'm-I'm sorry. You're attractive kasi," i literally stop mid-way to his finger and looked up at him. I glared at him. I saw how his cheeks blushed. Well, mine as well too. But I'm not flattered or anything, It was just a bit awkward you know.
"Taken na ako, bawal na suitors sa'kin," sabi ko at pinagpatuloy na lang ulit ang panggagamot sa kanya. He turned to me, he's brows shot up now.
"I didn't said i have plans on courting you. I just said you're attractive," I gasped. My lips parted because of the embarrasment I'm feeling right now. Oo nga naman Fionna! Attractive lang naman ang sinabi niya hindi ka liligawan! Ugh! Nakakahiya. Nakakadalawa na 'to sa'kin ah? Una do'n sa parking lot, ngayon dito. Nakakainis na ha.
"Whatever," he chuckled. Diniinan ko ang bulak sa sugat niya kaya napa-aray siya.
"Aray naman. Sinasaktan mo na 'ko eh," I rolled my eyes.
"Mas m
Nang matapos iyon ay nilagyan ko na lang ng band-aid ang daliri niya. Kumuha pa ako ng ballpen at inalis ang cap nito. His forehead creased.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Nilagyan ko ng pangalan ko ang band-aid.
"F-I-O-N," pagpapantig niya. Tumango ako at tumayo na.
"Ako na magpapatuloy roon. Mag-gloves na lang ako," turo ko sa lababong may bubog.
"Titig na titig kasi sa'kin kaya may nababasag.." wala sa sarili kong sabi bago dumiretso na sa kusina.
He tsked and walk back upstairs again.
"Keoz!" I called him. Nasa taas kasi siya eh. Ewan ko kung anong ginagawa niya do'n kanina pa nagkukulong roon.
Itinabi ko muna ang rice cooker na may bigas at hinintay siya. Nang makita ko siyang pababa ay pinalapit ko siya. He neared me, confused why did I call him.
He glanced at the rice cooker then me.
"What?" he asked. I shrugged and pointed the rice beside me.
"Cook rice for our lunch," he immediately turned his back to me and was about to walk away but I yelled.
"Sige! Ipo-post ko 'tong video mo!" pangba-blackmail ko sa kanya. He stopped mid-step. He groaned loudly before facing me again. I took out my phone out of my shorts pocket and waved it, teasing him. He let out a heavy sigh.
"Ugh! Akala ko ba yaya kita dito? Bakit parang bumabaliktad ata tayo?" he asked. I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Excuse me, magbe-benefit ka din naman dito 'no! Mga lalaki nga naman mga batugan!" i yelled. His brows furrowed.
"Batu-what?!" he scoffed.
"Mga pabigat, pakain, palaki lang ng mga bayag nila buong maghapon, buong araw! Ano, gets mo na po?", i sarcastically asked. The side of his lips rose. He neared me, but I never stepped back. Ano sa tingin niya natatakot ako sa paglapit-lapit niyang 'yan?
He was containing his laugh, "May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko?" mataray kong tanong. Wala, natawa na talaga siya ngayon.
"God, you're too bold," my eyes widened. Pakiramdam ko umusok bawat may butas sa katawan ko. Jowk. Anong bold sinasabi niya?! Hoy ano 'di ako pornstar!
When he noticed my reaction, he stopped laughing, "What?" i punched his chest. He dramatically held his chest like he's hurt.
"Anong bold-bold 'yang sinasabi mo? Hoy! Conservative akong tao 'no!" i ranted. Namilog ang mga mata niya bago tumawa na naman.
"Ano na namang nakakatawa?!" pumadyak-tadyak ako sa sahig, "Tanong lang ha? Sabog ka ba?" he shook his head, namumula na siya dahil sa kakatawa. Tinampal ko 'yung pisngi niya.
"Nagda-drugs ka 'no? Kaya lagi kang nagba-bar? Kamusta transaction niyo?" kunwaring kuryoso kong tanong. Nilapit ko pa 'yung tenga ko sa kanya. Bumulong naman siya sa akin.
"Tara, drugs tayo sa taas. Tapos tikim-tikim lang," tumili ako ng malakas ng buhatin niya ako ng pang-kasal! Nagsisimula na siyang umakyat sa hagdan. Sinapak-sapak ko ang mukha niya pati ang dibdib niya.
"Keoz! Sinasabi ko sayo pag ako naging sabog, papatayin kita!" i said when we reached his room.
"Papatayin sa pagmamahal," then he winked at me bago hinagis sa kama.
