Ladylove
Hindi ko halos maiproseso sa utak ko ang narinig kay Jane tungkol kay Levi Lawrence. Kagaya ni Gavin Atkinson, kilala rin si Levi Lawrence.
He is a renowned painter with almost 50 works. He is a great artist, and Jaya really loves him just like how I love Gavin's works.
This is beyond crazy. My brain cannot take this information.
"Are you alright?" tanong ni Jane na kagaya ko ay kanina pa tahimik.
Tanging tango lang ang isinagot ko. Nasa sala na kaming dalawa, ilang minuto na ang lumipas simula nung makaalis ang lolo ni Levi, may kailangan daw kasi siyang puntahan kaya naman naiwan kami nila Jane, Heather, at ako sa bahay ni Levi Lawrence.
Ang makasama ang tatlong taong ito sa iisang bubong, hindi ko alam kung may mas ilalala pa rito.
"I'm afraid I can't offer something," Levi spoke.
I blinked and immediately looked away. I know he is handsome from the depth of his eyes to the very details of his being.
The name Levi Lawrence is worthy of attention to the point that some notable sculptors carved his features from ivory.
Pero ibang-iba ang mukha niya sa personal.
"Mr. Lawrence, it's fine. I think Koga is not feeling well, kailangan na namin makauwi."
...
What?
"Are you ill, Koga?" may halong pag-aalala sa boses ni Heather bago hawakan ang siko ko.
Mabilis ko namang napansin ang biglang pagtingin ni Jane sa kamay ni Heather sa braso ko.
I shut my eyes.
I don't want this.
There is a fine line between helping and serving. Why do I feel like I am creating a line between them just because of a single touch?
"I'm not ill. Ayos lang ako," tipid kong ngiti sa kanya bago umatras dahilan ng pagkakaalis ng kamay niya sa braso ko.
"Ipapahatid ko na kayo."
"Thank you, but it's fine, Mr. Lawrence. We have a carriage we can use," si Heather na panay ang tingin sa kinatatayuan ni Jane. Halata na may gusto siyang sabihin.
"Miss. Jane Elliot, do you have a moment?"
Her voice is really sweet. I want her to not stop talking at all.
I licked my lips and stepped back.
Walang sinabi si Jane at pinasadahan lang kami ng tingin dalawa ni Levi bago sumunod kay Heather palabas.
...
Now what?
Anong gagawin ko? Bakit sa dami ng pwede kong makasama, si Levi pa?
Ahhh, fuck this life!
"I will take this time as an opportunity to ask you something, only if you will let me."
...
He is now talking to me.
I need to act cool.
