Crazy Beast

Chapter Twenty-Seven

He chuckled, which is pleasant in my ears. "Okay? So what should I do for you to forgive me?" Sabi nito tsaka marahang hinalikan ang tuktok ng kamay ko na agad ko namang ikinamula.

H-He kissed my hand!

Oh my god. Who does that? Is he gay too? Well even at such a young age, I know to myself that I'm more into ogling muscular men than girls with big boobs. At laking pasalamat ko pa na ayos lang ang mga magulang ko doon. Tanggap daw nila kung sino ako at kung saan ako sasaya basta ba hindi ko sasaktan ang sarili ko.

But this guy... "Are you gay?" Before I can stop myself, it just came out of my mouth. Gulat ko namang tinakpan ang bibig ko at nanlalaki ang mga mata habang tinititigan siya. I hope he didn't take it in the wrong way.

In my relief, he didn't seem to be offended on it. Nagkibit balikat lamang siya. "If liking you makes me gay. Then I guess so." Then he winked at me.

Lalo naman akong namula sa sinabi niya. "L-Like me? Y-You're crazy. Kakakita lang natin no'ng isang araw. Plus! I didn't even know your name." I whined to hide my embarrassment. And why the hell I'm stuttering? Argh.

He hummed. "Is that so?" Panimula niya tsaka marahang binitawan ang braso ko at inilahad ang kanang kamay niya. "Celestine Infierno. Nice to meet you."

I looked at him and his hand. I timidly took it as we shake hands. "Elliot Javez. But you can call me Elli."

Then he warmly smiled at me. "I think Mon Ceour, will fit to you too."

Napanguso naman ako sa sinabi niya. "Mon shur?"

He chuckled and nodded. "Mon Ceour."

Kinunotan ko na lamang siya ng noo. "What was that even mean?"

He shrugs. "You'll know." Then he shyly peaks at me that made my turn to raise my brow at him. "Am I forgiven?"

I suppress my smile as I pretend to think. He is so cute! "Nope." Sagot ko tsaka binawi ang kamay na hindi ko na napansin na kanina niya pa hawak hawak. Tumayo na ako at pinagpagan ang sarili habang tumayo na rin siya sa kinauupuan.

"Then, what should I do for you to forgive me?" Tanong niya habang pinapanood ako sa ginagawa.

Hinarap ko naman siya at nginitian nang malaki. "Be my playmate!"

He snorted. "That's easy."

Then I frowned and start to think something hard that he'll be complaining with. "Then can I give you a nickname?"

Tinaasan naman niya ako ng kilay. "Nickname? What am I? Your pet?"

I pouted. "Hey, Celestine is a mouthful! It is a pretty name by the way, but it's too long!" I whined and gave him my puppy eyes. People around me told me about using it as a weapon because... I don't really know. They just said that they can't resist me if I'm using this expression. I hope it works to him too!

Tinitigan naman niya ako tsaka na ito natawa at marahang pinisil ang pisngi ko. "Fine. Let me hear that nickname you made for me."

Nginitian ko namang siya nang malaki. "Celly!" I screamed joyfully.

Napasimangot naman siya na ikinatawa ko. "The heck? I've never heard such an ugly nickname."

"Hey! That's so rude. Ang cute nga eh. Magka-rhyme pa tayo, Elli and Celly. Kung mapangitan ka man, wala ka ng choice, iyon nga gusto ko." I said as I crossed my arms.
