My Professor is an Eyesore

Lesson 36

Lesson 36

Remedial

I woke up to the aroma of bacon and fried rice. Pagkamulat nang mata ko wala si RR sa tabi ko. Napagtanto ko agad na nakahubad pala ako sa ilalim ng kumot. When I sat up, some parts of my body ached.

The memory of last night flashed back in my mind. Napapikit ako at nagpigil ng tili. Bigla akong nabahiran ng hiya dahil sa mga ginawa ko kagabi. Sht, 'wag na lang kaya magpakita kay RR? Should I pretend asleep the whole day?

Naririnig ko ang sipol ni RR mula sa kitchen. Magpapakita na ba ako? Anong gagawin ko? Anong unang sasabihin ko? Good morning hubby ba? Ganoon? O patay-malisya na lang?

I picked up his shirt on the floor and wore it. It was big enough to cover my thighs. Huminga muna ako nang malalim bago lumabas sa kwarto.

RR immediately looked when I walked out of the bedroom. He was shirtless while chopping apples. Napapikit ako sandali dahil naaalala ko na naman yung eksena kagabi.

Ang lapad ng ngiti niya. "Good morning, gorgeous. Have you slept well?"

I smiled to confirm and walked towards him. "Ikaw? Wala ka bang lakad ngayon?" I asked. Stay cool, Cheska.

He put down the knife and faced me. Hinigit niya ang balakang ko. "Nope, I want to spend the day with you. Mall date?"

I nodded.

"After breakfast, alis tayo."

He drove us to Fleur Plaza. Being here brings back memories.

"Oh? Bakit ka nakangiti?" tanong niya sa akin habang naghahanap ng parking.

"I suddenly remembered when we bought our wedding rings here. You didn't like me pa noon, right?" I smiled at the thought.

"Well, yeah, sobrang pasaway mo pa kasi noon."

I leaned towards him. "Aminin mo, nagandahan ka na sa akin at first sight?"

His fingers danced on the steering wheel. "Won't deny." He blushed.

"Geez, I'm truly irresistible." I flicked my hair and sighed jokingly. "By the way, where do we go first?"

He pulled the keys and got out of the car. He strided around and opened the door beside me.

As I disembarked from my seat he answered, "Coffee?"

"You're such an oldie!"

"Woah, what an accusation! I'm just a few years older than you, Cheska," he replied as he patted the top of my head.

"Fine, coffee then."

We entered the first coffee shop in our line of sight. The seats by the glass window seemed to be the best location.

"What do you want?" asked RR.

"Dalgona." I flashed a wide smile.

"Dal - what?" He seemed confused.

"Don't you know Dalgona coffee? My gosh. It's so trending in IG kaya!" I cried.

"Psh. I'm not active in social media. There are more important things to do."

I raised a brow. "Pinaparinggan mo ba 'ko?" As someone who's very active in social media.

He caressed my cheek. "Nooo... That's not what I meant." He gave a quick peck on my nose. "I'll be right back." And off he went to order.
