Chasing Him (Mendarez Series #1)

Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Warmth

"You should eat now" he said and handed me a plastic bag after a few minutes

"Thanks" sabi ko sabay kuha ng plastic bag sa kamay nya binuksan ko ito at nagsimulang kumain

Syempre 'no, 'di na ako magpapakipot tsaka gutom na din talaga ako

"I'm sorry, i won't do it again." He gently said while looking at me kaya kumunot ang noo ko at tumingala sakanya habang kumakain

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Doubting you"

Yumuko ako para hindi nya mahalata ang pagngiti ko at ibinalik rin kaagad ang tingin sakanya

"Uhh, ako ba ang pinuntahan mo dito?" Tanong ko

"Obviously. Sino pa ba ang iba kung pupuntahan dito? Yung nurse?" He said sarcastically and chuckled kaya inirapan ko sya

"Oh, Kuya" pagtawag ko kay Kuya Asher nang makita sya sa hamba ng pintuan ng infirmary pati si Kai ay napatingin din

Nagkatinginan sila sandali at nagtanguan, hindi ko alam kung para saan yun at kung anong ibig sabihin kaya di ko nalang masyadong pinansin

I smiled mockingly, akala ko ay magsusuntukan silang dalawa dahil kay Shèniel,

"Ihahatid kita sa bahay, umuwi ka na lang daw muna tsaka ka na pumasok pag okay na yung pakiramdam mo" Sabi ni Kuya kaya tumango-tango ako sabay nguso kase mukhang seryosong-seryoso ang mukha nya

Binilisan ko ang pagkain sobrang tahimik naming tatlo sa infirmary minsan ay nagsasalita si Kuya pero kapag tumigil sya ay super awkward ng atmosphere

Naunang maglakad si Kuya papalabas ng infirmary pagkatapos kung kumain didiretso yata sya ng parking lot kaya kinuha ko ang mga gamit ko na nasa sofa ng infirmary

"Thankyou for the food" i smiled and waved my hands a bit "And uhh one more thing...i hope we can be...friends"

Being friends with him is fine for me, if he really don't like me and doesn't like me liking him, then I'm contented na being friends with him

I'll try to not to show any affection towards him anymore, I'd rather be friends with him than nothing

Tatalikuran ko na sana sya para pumunta ng parking lot dahil panigurado akong nandon na si Kuya but he held my wrist and pulled it a bit kaya napalingon ako ulit

Before i can asked him why, i felt his lips on mine, i was too stunned to react, i just...stayed still

The kiss last for maybe 5 seconds, It felt good. It was gentle and slow.

"I-i'll g-go now...baka hinihintay na ako ni K-kuya. Bye" i said at tumakbo papalayo

Shit, why would he kiss me? I just told myself na it's okay to me if we're stay as friends but why would he do that?? Crap!

"Astraea!" Lalabas na yata ang kaluluwa ko sa katawan ko sa sobrang gulat, fuck! "Are you okay? Ba't parang nakakita ka ng multo" Nicolla said and laughed

"I-i was just shocked" i stuttered, can't move on from the kiss earlier

"Where are you going? Uuwi ka?"

"Y-yeah... papauwiin daw muna ako" i answered kaya napatango-tango sya "Bye! Alis na ko" paalam ko sakanya at kay Nico na nasa likod nya lang din na palaging nakabuntot sakanya
