Lucifer

6

It's been weeks now that I keep asking Lucifer, on seeing my parents but still his answer is the same.

I decided to stop for now and not bother him. I know he was annoyed with this days, dahil sa paulit ulit kong tanong.

I'm here today in the kitchen with Morrigan. I can see that he loves pizza so I decided to make one. I saw this on tv earlier.

"You can knead the dough, total malakas ka naman," I prepared all the ingredients needed.

Nilagay ko ang cellphone sa lamesa na hiniram ko sakanya. Nanonood kami ng procedures kong paano gumawa. It's easy to watch but hard to make.

"It's easy if we buy pizza, than to make it."

"Minsan lang to," ani ko.

He started to knead the pizza dough after we mixed the wet and dry ingredients. I look on the veins in his arms.

"You masturbate a lot?"

"What the hell!" natawa ako sa gulat niyang reaction "Pervert!"

"I'm not, I'm just open minded," I defended myself "Ipagpatuloy mo na nga."

"Hayst, don't talk anything like that."

"Why?" Now I know how to get back on him.

"It's disgusting."

I chuckled softly "Playing the virgin card."

"Where the hell did you know about that!?" he sounds really serious right now.

There is nothing wrong being an open minded kaya. Like me. I'm not curious about s*x. Hindi ko man lang naisip na i try iyon.

One of my reasons is I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND, second is my parents are strict that I'm scared to do it. Like duh, disgusting.

I shrugged my shoulders "Tss whatever, ipagpatuloy mo nalang yan."

"You're too noisy."

Napaangat ako ng tingin ng marinig ang boses ni Lucifer. He was wearing a simple black shirt. His hair was messy. His bedroom voice sounds sexy. Napailing ako.

"Naveah was talking dirty, sinuway ko lang," I'm surprised that he knew my name.

Hinampas ko siya sa balikat. Lucifer look at me weirdly, ako na ang unang umiwas ng di nakayanan ang tingin niya. Umupo sa kaharap naming upuan at pinagmasdan ang ginagawa namin.

"Nagtatanong lang naman eh."

He shifted his weight and face me. Nilagay niya ang kamay sa baba at prenteng tumingin sa akin.

"What are asking about? Maybe I can answer it," he said playfully.

"N-nothing."

I look away and pretend to be attentive on Morrigan, who's kneading the dough.

"Ask her, Naveah, he knew a lot of things," I look at him dangerous. Now it's his turn to mock me.

"Try me," Lucifer encourage me with a playful smile plastered on his face.

"N-nasa harap tayo ng pagkain!" kunwaring galit na tuno ko "Bilisan mo nga diyan Morrigan, at gutom na ako."

From a toxic week this is a quiet relaxation time for me, for us. May mga araw na nagtatakbuhan kami para sundan ang kaluluwa hanggang saan kami makaabot.

We even encounter some emotional spirit that we need to baby. I mean I baby. Kong sina Lucifer at Morrigan lang naman for sure wala silang pake at kaladkadin lang nila papasok sa hell's gate.

Even they are bad people I still want them to die peacefully. Because even how how wicked people are, some of them live on earth peacefully according to there will.

The pizza we made looks great, not just the toppings are messy. Akmang kukuha na si Morrigan ng tampalin ko ang kamay niya.

"Wag muna."

"Aanhin mo paba yan? Titignan?"

"Let's get some popcorn first and after that let's watch a movie," he agreed.

Kumuha ako ng popcorn na luto na at nilagay sa bowl. Tamang tama at medyo mainit init pa ang pizza.

We arrange it on the table. Nagtimpla pa kami ng juice para may pang tulak man lang. Lucifer joined us.

Pareho silang nasa gilid habang nasa gitna ako, may kunting distansiya na naghihiwalay sa amin. Sinalang na ni Morrigan ang panonoorin namin.

Life can be sometimes bitchy as me.

The movie named conjuring was nice. I was the only one keep on shouting and wincing. Both Morrigan and Lucifer was serious.

Hindi pa yata nag iisang buwan na magkasama kaming tatlo. Morrigan and I went along with each other.

Hindi naman siya makirap pakisamahan, siya pa na maloko at palabiro.

"We are going to a university tomorrow, early morning. Mauuna na ako" Morrigan.

Morrigan stand up and went upstairs. Naiwan naman kaming dalawa ni Lucifer dito. The tv was still on, ito ang natlnatiling ilaw sa madilim na sala.

"What are we gonna do there?"

I look at him. I notice his sleepy eyes but he manage to look at the TV. Sumulyap siya sa akin at binalik din sa TV ang tingin.

"The company sponsor them," he said in a weary voice.

"Uhuh. . . " I have nothing to say at all "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Umiling siya. Humikab ako ng maramdaman na ang antok. I stand up and stretched my body. I feel tired even doing nothing.

"Mauuna na ako."

He didn't say anything so I take that as a yes. Akmang hahakbang na ako sa paakyat sa hagdan ng marinig ko siyang magsalita.

"You're not going to ask about your parents?" napaisip namana ko, but I will stick to my plan earlier.

"Nope, it's your free day."

He chuckled that made me smile. Umakyat na ako at dumeritso sa harap ng kabinet para kumuha ng damit.

Why ask me? When in the first place his answer is still a no. I still don't get him. Sometimes he was good but most of the day he was bad. Argh!

Nilusob ko ang walang saplot na katawan sa bathtub. The cold water made me shrink, pero kalaunan ay nasanay din sa lamig nito.

The soft chuckle of Lucifer earlier still lingers on my mind. Napailing ako at napatingin sa kamay ko. Ang dulo ng daliri ko ay nagungulubot na kaya naisip ko na tumayo na at magbihis.

Nahiga ako sa dulo ng kama at tumingun sa ceilings. Tomorrow is another day. Another to fight and win.
