"Hey, baby...," na-agaw nito ang kanyang atensyon na abalang nagtitingin sa mga painting na hindi naman niya maintindihan.

Wala talaga siyang interes sa mga paintings, but she still appreciates those artist who did these.

Nakangiting humarap siya sa gawi ng binata, "Yes, baby? —," hindi na niya natuloy pa ang sasabihin dahil bumungad lang naman sa kanya ang lalaking may hawak na cellphone, may naglalarong pilyong ngiti pa sa labi.

"Damn you, Leo! Delete that!," mahinang piksi niya sa kaharap, at baka bigla siyang pagalitan ng nagbabantay sa bandang gilid lang nila.

Nandito nga sila ngayon sa loob ng National Museum of Fine Arts, para lang silang nagfi-field trip. Dahil kada frame na alam ng binata ay kinikwento sa kanya ang background nito. Pero wala talagang pumapasok sa utak niya, all she knew is kasama niya ang binata. And she's happy.

"Why? You're beautiful in this picture, baby," itinaas pa nito sa ere ang kamay na may hawak ng cellphone nang sinubukan niyang agawin ito sa binata.

Naiinis na nagpamewang na lamang siya sa harapan nito, "I'm not prepared, dapat ininformed mo man lang ako!," sumuko na siya sa tangkang pag-agaw dahil wala naman siyang ubra sa kakisigan ng binata.

Leo smiled on her that even the other tourists inside the Museum got curious about him, like he's part of an art, "My favorite art with my favorite artist. Not bad," he's still smiling while looking on his phone, surely on her photo.

Suddenly all her consciousness faded away and she felt that her cheeks were heating up, "You're crazy," ang tanging naituran na lamang niya at tumalikod na ulit sa binata.

Naramdaman naman niya ang paglapit ng huli at ang mabangong halimuyak nito, "But I'm serious, baby. Felix Resurrecion Hidalgo is my favorite artist," sobrang lapit ng binata na pati ang hininga nito ay naririnig niya.

Muli naman niyang tiningnan ang painting na nasa harapan. All she knows that this one is a little bit weird, "Bakit naman siya?," she asked still not looking back, pakiramdam niya ay namumula pa rin ang buong mukha niya.

"He interpreted very well the book of Dante Alighieri which is the Inferno. That book's so great! And this painting," at nagawa pa nitong ituro ang tinitingnan niyang painting kanina pa, "“La Barca de Aqueronte” shows how Charon mercilessly ushered condemned souls to the place of their eternal damnation. At hindi lang 'yan ang Inferno's inspired artwork niya, even “La Laguna Estigia” depicted scenes from the book!," Leo's now educating her, and now only she can do is to nod and listen.

Mas lalo niya ngayon nakilala ang lalaki, bukod sa napakakapal na Law Books ay mahilig din ito sa paintings and fiction books. Which is her total opposite, but their differences just made her fall more with Leonardo. Crazy it is.

AFTER almost spending five hours inside the Museum, they chose first to eat merienda in one of the famous fast food chains in the Philippines.

Maingay at magulo ang loob lalo na at malapit ito sa sentro ng mga pasyalan. Halo ang mga taong nasa loob, may pamilya, magkakaibigan, mag-asawa o magkasintahan at mayroon rin namang nag-iisa.

"This is my first time again eating in a fast food chain after so many years!," Leonardo exclaimed while scooping an ice cream on his cup.

"And that's my first time walking for so long inside of a Museum, baby," pang-aasar niya pa sa binata na parang sinusumbatan ito.

The latter just shrugged his shoulders, not minding, "Well, at least you learned a lot from me, and you have nothing to worry about, you're wearing flat shoes, baby."

"Yeah. I just learned that you're really a bookworm," she even nods her head while mixing her pasta on its sauce.

"Well, I'm not ashamed, still proud about it," he even laughed a bit.

Naputol lang ang masayang usapan nila ng binata ng may dalawang teenager na babae ang lumapit sa kanilang table.

She stopped midway on what she's doing and looked at them with curiosity. Leonardo did the same.

"Hello po, Kuya, artista po ba kayo?," the girl with shoulder length hair asked, namumula pa ang pisingi nito.

Mas lalo namang natawa ang binata sa narinig at mabilisan na umiling, "No, I'm not. I'm a lawyer, that's my profession," at nagawa pa nitong mag-explain sa dalawang estranghera.

Nakita naman niya ang bahagyang pagkurot sa tagiliran ng kasamahan nung isang babae, "Attorney daw, bes. Kaya pala ang yummy!," she even got the gut to murmured in front of them.

Her one eyebrow automatically raised upon hearing their conversation. But she still chose not to speak.

"Pwede po ba naming malaman ang pangalab niyo? I-a-add ka lang po namin sa Facebook!," the other girl with short hair asked.

Mas lalong sumama ang timpla ng kanyang mukha.

Ang babata pa ng mga 'to, paglalandi na ang inaatupag!, naiinis na bulong niya sa sarili.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you girls, but I'm not fond of social medias. Atsaka pasensya na, ah, baka magalit na 'yung baby ko. We're just having our snack," malumanay pa ring wika ni Leonardo sa dalawa.

Bumadha naman ang pagkalugmok sa mukha ng dalawa at doon lang nila napansin ang presensya niya.

She faced them without changing her facial expression.

"Girlfriend po kayo ni Kuya?," at nagawa pa talaga nilang magtanong.

She raised her eyebrow a little bit more, "What do you think?," para na siya ngayong Cia 2.0!

"Sabi nga po namin. Pasensya na po, enjoy your meal!," at parang mga kabuteng tumalilis paalis ang dalawa sa kanilang harapan.

"Baby, don't worry," Leonardo's face showing an amused look on her.

Napailing na lamang siya at pinagpatuloy ang naudlot na pagkain.

Lakas talaga ng karisma, she thought.

"IS IT OKAY with you to head directly on Quezon Province tonight? Or we'll just booked a room then bukas na lang tayo bumyahe?," Leo suddenly asked her.

They are now inside again of his car, heading their way out of that overpopulated city. After their Museum date, they visited some more places especially Rizal Park, Intramuros, and Paco Park. They even attended late mass inside Manila Cathedral. Para lang talaga silang mga teenagers na naggagala sa kung saan-saan.

She suddenly missed being a teenager like the old days. Ito iyong mga pagkakataong hindi niya naranasan noon, dahil mas pinili niyang mag-aral ng mag-aral para sa magandang kinabukasan. Nagbunga naman pero she just missed some exciting part of her life tho.

"Hindi na, biyahe na lang muna tayo then let just have a stopover. Pero ikaw, baby? Pagod ka na ba? You want to rest?," malambing na tanong niya pabalik sa lalaki, she even faced him and touched his masculine arm.

Tumingin naman sa kanya ito pabalik, hindi pa naman nito pinapaandar ang sariling sasakyan. They are just inside his car, alone. And that idea makes her wilder, as always.

"That's fine with me, baby. I can rest naman with your help," his playful side shows, he even touched her cheeks.

At sa paglapat ng kamay ng binata ay nakaramdam siya ng kung anong elektrisidad sa katawan. Her whole body suddenly heat up at parang napapaso siya sa hawak ng binata. Even the air conditioner of his car won't help her sudden burning desire.

"Why? You want a blow job?," she bluntly asked, dahil iyon ang nababasa niya sa pinapakitang tingin ng binata.

Sandali namang nawala ang init ng tingin nito, at napalitan ng malakas na halakhak, "Of course not, baby. I won't let you do it kahit na gusto ko pa," aniya.

Napangunot-noo naman siya sa tinuran ng binata, "At bakit naman?," she's curious.

Parang walang tiwala ang lalaki sa kakayahan niya! Like she's not experienced at baka ma-disappoint lang niya ang binata! The hell of him! She can even helped him to enter the heaven's gate!

"Whatever running on your mind, baby, hindi iyon. I just don't like a woman kneeling down in front of a man. Because a right man won't never let her woman to bow down, but he will chose to do the job. No man won't never let his Queen to degrade herself," malumanay niyang paliwanag.

Ang sarap pakinggan what he just said. Like he really has a great respect on women. Aishana is so lucky for having him.

"Oh my Leo," hindi na niya pinigilan pa ang sarili at nagpalamon na lamang siya sa sariling nararamdaman.

She kissed him passionately and Leo gave back the same, like they are some sort of lovers. Ibang-iba ito sa mga halik na pinagsaluhan nila ng binata. This one is different. Not because they are making out inside his car, but the way they shared their kisses, it's so different.

Leo touched her clothed mound, still not ending their hot kisses.

She's not afraid that someone might see them, nakababa na naman ang bubong ng sasakyan and even the windows was tinted.

While Leo kissing her now on her jaws, she roamed her right hand down to his pants. She searched for his belt and unbuckled it in no sweat, and unzipped it right away. She felt his bulge down there, pinagsawa niya ang kamay sa nakaumbok na pag-aari ng lalaki. And when she no longer can hold it, nilabas na niya ito and played with it like a stuff toy.

"Damn, baby," Leonardo cussed like he's controlling his moan.

Pinag-igi naman niya ang ginagawa while Leo inserted his hand directly on her clit. Feeling it and playing with fire down there.

And inside his car, they shared one of their hottest nights together. Letting their selves free from anything, just them, the two of them. Making out like it's their last, like when they open again their eyes, they are no longer on each other's arms.
