Good Boy

Chapter Twelve

I didn't want to do that for him, importante 'tong meeting na 'to dahil opisyal na yung irerelease na proyekto ng production company ng mga Cardoza.

Importante 'to para sa ahensiya din na'min, their managers and teams are working overtime for them too, we work with them to make sure na okay ang lahat.

Lumuhod siya sa harap ko at hinawakan ang kamay ko, it was warm yet comforting at the same time.

It's crazy how someone can just make you feel better by their presence, smile, just... themselves in general.

"Okay..." mahina kong sagot sa kanya.

Karine is not even this nice to me, minsan mabait pero mas strikto siya kaysa mabait, may caring side pa rin naman siya but never as nice as Adrian.

"Wait!" sigaw ko nang bigla niyang pinosisyon ang sarili niya na parang bubuhatin niya 'ko.

"D-Don't... do that."

"Why not?"

"I can walk, okay? 'Di ako mahina."

"You couldn't walk and you threw up in the garbage can in the hallway, you're not yourself right now, Calla."

Bakit ba siya tawa ng tawa?

May nakakatawa ba sa pakiramdam ko ngayon?

"I'm heavy! M-Mabigat ako... 'di mo 'ko kailangan buha—AH!"

'Di niya 'ko pinatapos at binuhat ako bridal style, he lifted me quickly as fast as possible, he's really strong, his muscles are not just for show, his muscles are real and he is so freaking strong.

"You're insulting me, Calla. Mabigat? Pa'no ka mabigat? You're not even half the weight I lift in my training." tawa niya.

I swear I gained weight last week kakainom ng frappe, ang dami ko ring nakaing pizza at ice cream na rin, I need to start running again to at least burn calories but I was so busy.

"Now... rest for me, Calla. Please?" bulong niya.

I can't stop him.

I really can't stop this man.

Siya ang boss ko at assistant niya lang ako, I'm not meant to do anything against his wills, I guess I have no choice but to follow his orders.

"O...kay."

I don't like this, I don't like this at all pero wala talaga akong magagawa.

He took me back to his place, sa mansyon, doon pa rin naman ako nakatira kahit na naghahanap ako ng apartment para sa sarili ko.

I don't know kung yun pa rin ba ang gusto ko pero alam ko na iyon ang tama.

I lived with him kasi 'di pa 'ko nakahanap ng matutuluyan para sa'kin, nakatira pa 'ko sa mansyon ng mga Dixon nung time na yun.

I thought I was gonna find my place after a week but he... he just made me feel something while I was living and working with him.

Home.

His place felt like home, I felt comfort and just warmth... tulad niya.

Isa rin siguro sa dahilan kung bakit ninerbyos ako ay dahil ayokong... ayokong mag-iba ang tingin niya sa'kin.

I hate to admit it.

I hate to admit this but... I like him as a friend, I like him for being nice, for being caring, for being... such a good person towards me.
