WA 8 - Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping beauty. Natawa ako sa sarili kong iniisip.

"You're not beauty."

Napatalon ako sa gulat nang mapalingon ako sa kanya... I automatically appalled when I saw him, "Why are you here?"

He shrugged, "To babysit you." He grins.

Nakakabigla pa rin na aside pala sa pagiging stoic at pokerfaced ni Uryll, may alam pa pala siyang ibang expression. I've seen him smirked, grinned, appalled, grimaced and flushed—just for a beep second. Pero sigurado akong namula siya nun.

I rolled my eyes heavenwards, "Oh shut up! You don't have the heart to do that." I retorted.

His expression grimed after he heard what I said. Don't tell me, nasaktan siya sa sinabi ko? "Paano ka naman nakakasigurong wala nga akong puso?" I'm gonna be with this man for I don't know how long! Sana talaga hindi kami puro ganito. Nakakatanda kung palagi kaming mag-aaway. "In fact, I've been looking after you since the day you were rushed here. Now tell me, wala ba talaga akong puso?"

Damn! I was taken aback. I ran out of words to say.

"You can't handle my wittiness, do you?" He grinned.

I want to wipe off that grin on his face right now. It's taunting me! "That silly smile doesn't suit you." I fired back.

He points out my hair and smirks, "That bird's nest hairstyle suits you better." He said as if mocking me.

Oh my goodness! Napahawak ako sa buhok ko matapos niyang sabihin 'yon. And he's right! Parang pugad ng ibon ang buhok ko! "Damn you! Umalis ka nga!" I sounded like a real loser now. Urgh!

"You're right. You're a loser."

Can he go back to his old self? Iyong walang ka emo-emosyon. Mas mabuti pa 'yon kesa sa balahurang lalakeng 'to! His pokerfaced face is way better than this smirking ass in front of me. Nakakainis na siya! He's using the advantage of reading my mind! Wala akong pwedeng itago sa kanya ngayon, lalo na ang mga panlalait ko dahil alam kong nababasa niya ang lahat ng nasa isip ko ngayon!

Since I can't read his mind, waging-wagi siya sa pambwi-bwisit sa akin ngayon. "Wait until I learn how to use my telepathy ability and you'll say sorry to me, Hutchinson." Banta ko.

"I can't wait for that to happen, Delacroix." He winks.

Damn! It was a wink! A wink from Uryll Hutchinson! Sadly, Briz is way cooler than him.

I rolled my eyes. I hit his chest para maalis sa harapan ko.

"Feisty." He chuckled.

"Harang ka kasi." I want to hit him hard on the face. But my guts only directed to his chest. His damn hard chest! "Ano bang ginagawa mo rito?" Tanong ko at naupo sa kama ko.

Hinila niya ulit ang silya niya kanina. He primitively crossed his arms. Bigla na lang nag shift ang mood niya, "I heard that we'll be living with Rachel Craftster. We're due to leave tomorrow." He said.

Nalungkot ako bigla. Naisip ko kasing hindi ko makakasama ang iba naming kaibigan sa mga susunod na araw dahil nga ipapadala kami sa lugar na hindi ko pa alam. This is a big step to Ynior, I know. He wanted me to learn to control my Imaclum to lessen the troubles. Mabuti na rin siguro 'yon para sa lahat at para sa akin. Rachel knows what to do. I just hope mabilis akong matuto.

"I don't want to live with you." He interjected.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "As if naman gusto kong makasama ka rin sa iisang bahay." Sagot ko.

Tumango-tango si Uryll, "Stay out of trouble and we're good." Sabi niya na ikinabigla ko. He's calm and collected. Pero wala sa akin ang tingin niya nang sinabi niya 'yon. Nasa sahig at parang may malalim siyang iniisip.
