CHASING HIM- TWENTY SEVEN

"Is she your new secretary?But I think She's too young for that you ch--" hindi nakapagpatuloy sa pagsasalita ang babae ng buksan ni Chase ng tuluyan ang pintuan, I moved away and start running but He followed me until he come reach my hand and stop me from running, "Babe, let me explain please, please." umiling ako at hangga't kaya kong pigilan ang luha ko ay pinipigilan ko, "I came here to surprise you, but I'm the one who surprised." nagulat ako ng buhatin niya ko bigla at naglakad pabalik sa tapat ng unit niya, The girl followed us and took care of my things and brought it Inside of Chase's unit, "Maybe, I should go?Get well soon Collin!" the girl said and gave a slight smile and an apologetic look before she close the door.

Nakaupo ako sa couch habang nasa harapan ko naman siya at nakaluhod, We stared at each other when our eyes met, my tears fell down to my cheeks and he quickly wiped it using his tumb saka niyakap ako, "Mali ang iniisip mo." he said in a calm voice saka hinalikan ako sa noo.

"then who is she?" I asked.

"Lorraine Venifer Takahashi, She's my childhood bestfriend, She just came here to took care of me because I wasn't feeling well earlier." He pinch my cheeks and gave a teasing laugh.

"nakakatuwa yun?I was jealous damn it!" tumayo ako at iniwan siya sa couch but he quickly grab my waist and pinned me into the wall, "I love you!" after that He kissed me on my forehead.

It took a minutes bago kami nagkabati and now we're here at his room, pinahiga ko siya muna kasi sabi niya masakit yung ulo niya and he's not feeling well, "Sinong kasama mo?Hindi ka manlang hinatid ni Charles?that jerk!" I told him the reason why, I'm here and Yes He's surprised, He didn't expect to see me waiting for him outside of his condo unit.

"Yeah, his friend just accompanied me here." I said, while helping him to cover himself a comforter.

"Is that a girl?" I gave him a teasing smile at umiling, "What the fuck Charles!"

"Wag kana magalit kay kuya, He's the one who sent me here to be with you---Okay naman ako e." He caressed my cheek and smile, "Why didn't you tell me?edi sana kahit sa airport manlang nasundo kita?Magkausap tayo kagabi pero wala kang sinabi sakin." I hold his hand that was caressing my face and stared at him, "It wasn't a surprise anymore, If I tell you." I replied.

"Kumain kana?" He asked. "Just a sandwich earlier nakatulog ako during the flight ginising lang ako ni Xiann." I explained, I frowned when I saw him taking off the comforter from his body, "What are you doin'?Magpahinga ka!" umiling lang ito at hinawakan ang kamay ko saka dinala ako sa kusina, "Just sit there, I'll cook for you." He pinched my cheek before He walk towards his refrigerator.

"Ako nalang magluluto!Magpahinga kana lang." tumayo ako para sundan siya, "Nah, umupo ka lang ako bahala sayo." Pinipilit ko siya pero ayaw niya talaga ibigay sakin ang pagluluto, "Okay, I'll help you nalang." nag-isip pa ito saka tumango.

"Ikaw lang talaga mag-isa dito?" Tanong ko habang iginagala ang mata sa loob ng condo nito. "Hmm." he hummed while busy on his cooking session kuno.

"So, Lorraine is Japanese?Takahashi is her surname, right?" I asked while standing in front of him, "Yeah, but half Pilipino. Her father is a Japanese." He gave me a smile when He look at me. "So, Why did you call her love earlier?I thought You're more than friends with her because of the endearment." He laughed.
