Dreamer (La Isla Prinsesa Series #1) Complete

Chapter 39

"Good morning," Hiro greeted me as soon as I enter in the kitchen. I saw him stirring his cup, maybe his coffee.

"Good morning din, dito ka na?" I asked as I sat than in front of him.

Ngayon lang siya bumisita rito makalipas ang isang linggo. Bakit kaya?

His forehead creased. "What do you mean?"

Kumuha ako ng asukal at naglagay sa tasa bago kumuha ng brewed coffee at nilagay rin doon. I mixed it and poured a hot water, I glanced at Hiro whose looking at me with his forehead creased.

"Kasi 'di ba, minsan ka lang dito? You're staying in what? Hotel?"

Umupo ako sa harapan niya. I saw him glanced my shirt and his ear become red. What?

"A-are you..." He cleared his throat.

"I'm what?"

Nagkamot siya ng batok, hindi makatingin sa akin. Kitang-kita rin ang pamumula ng pisngi niya.

Kinapa ko ang mukha ko papuntang damit hanggang sa manlaki ang mga mata ko. I stood up and hoping for the floor to eat me...

Napatili ako at nagtatakbong pumasok sa kwarto ko. I slapped my cheek and shouted. Nakakahiya!

Kinapa ko ang dibdib ko at napasinghap. Halatang-halata pa ang nipple ko dahil manipis ang suot kong malaking damit! Nakakahiya!

Hindi ko naman kasi alam na andito siya! Hindi niya siya dumadalaw rito at kung may mga tao man dito ay sina Manang lang 'yon at ang anak niyang babae.

Imbis na bumalik sa kusina at uminom ng kape ay naligo na lang muna ako at nag-ayos bago nagpasyang lumabas. I can still feel my cheeks are burning.

Forget that embarrassment! Isipin mo na lang na wala lang  sa 'yo 'yon. Isipin mo na--

"Do you always do that?"

Napatakip ako sa bibig dahil muntik na akong mapatili dahil sa gulat. Nakaupo siya sa living room habang may kaharap na laptop, nakabihis na rin at mukhang may pupuntahan.

Tumikhim ako at umayos. "Do what?" Taka kong tanong. Ang magulat? Sino bang hindi magugulat eh tulala ako rito tapos bigla siyang magsasalita!

"That earlier,"

Naramdaman ko na naman ang pag-init ng pisngi ko. Did he even need to asked me that kind of question? Napaka-insensitive minsan nito!

"Oo," agad umangat ang tingin niya sa akin at sumandal sa sofa. He looked at me like he's judging my soul! "P-pero sila Manang lang naman ang andito kasama ko, I didn't even know you'll be here." I defend myself.

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "You forgot what happened last night?"

I gasped. What happened last night? Oh my gosh, kaya ayokong umiinom e. I always have this kind of what-do-you-call-this, lagi akong clueless sa mga bagay na nangyayari kapag lasing ako. The last scenes I remembered were when I was talking to Creed and a little bit of their performance and then...all were blurry.

"Well," I swallowed and smiled a little, feeling nervous. Baka kasi isumbong ako kay Tita Naih, but Tita Naih's cool with my night outs. "I went to Tita Yamera's resort, just blocks away from here. And then I drank alcohol."

He looked at me blankly. "That's it?"

I nodded. "Bakit?"

Hindi siya sumagot. "Who was with you last night?"

"Creed?"

"Who's that?" His voice was stern and serious.

"A friend?"
