365 Days Contract [EDITING]

Chapter 26

"See you later," Calen kissed my forehead.

It's been a week now and I'm already used to Calen's skinship. Pati nga sila Cecil ay palihim akong inaasar gamit ang mga titig nila, tapos si George ay tanging buntong-hininga na lang ang ginagawa kapag nakikita kaming magkasama ni Calen.

"Okay, see you!" Ngumiti ako sa kaniya.

Inipit ni Calen ang takas na buhok ko sa likuran ng tenga ko. He licked his lower lip before slightly pouting it.

"You look pretty," He whispered.

"Sus, palagi naman! 'Di ka pa ba nasanay?" I said jokingly.

Calen chuckled and shook his head. "I'm going now. I'm already late." Calen glanced at his watch before averting his gaze back at me. "Don't forget to text or call me. Don't forget to eat a lot of food and drink your vitamins—"

"I know!" I cut him off.

Calen sighed. "Alright,"

I tiptoe to reach his ear. Calen tilts his head to hear what I'm going to whisper. Nasanay na siguro siya sa akin na bumubulong sa kaniya bago umalis para sa trabaho.

"Buy me a chocolate dessert," I whispered.

Calen chuckled softly. "Okay,"

I'm craving a lot this month. I'm already 3 months pregnant. Lumaki na rin ang umbok ng tiyan ko, pero hindi ganoon kalaki hindi katulad sa ibang nagbubuntis. Lexie even said that my tummy looks different from other pregnant women. Maybe because I have a slim body, that's why.

"I'm so bored inside that house." Pag-ra-rant ko kay Lexie nang magkita kami sa isang fast-food chain.

"I'm so tired with my life." Sabi rin niya at napabuntong hininga. "Palit na lang tayo ng buhay."

"What happened to you?" Tanong ko pagkatapos uminom ng tubig.

"They made me handle our business. I can't party now. I miss my nightlife." Lexie heavily sighed. Walang gana niyang inikot ang spaghetti sa tinidor. Kahit pagnguya niya ay dahan-dahan.

"How about George? Wala na akong balita sa inyong dalawa. Are you two together now?" Tanong ko.

Lexie's face suddenly turned into a sour face. Isang linggo pa lang ang lumipas tapos ganito na ang reaksiyon niya? Ano na naman ba ang nangyari? Even now, I can't still get over the fact that George noticed Lexie. Akala ko ay workaholic ang isang iyon.

"'Wag mo na ngang banggitin ang pangalan niya. That mothefucker broke my heart and vagina at the same tim—"

Sinupalpalan ko ng french fries ang bunganga ni Lexie. Tanginang 'to, walang preno ang bibig! We're in the fucking public for Pete's sake!

"Pasmado na naman bibig mo." I whispered.

Lexie rolled her eyes. "I don't care about them—"

"They cared about you. Tsismosa mga tao dito, gaga." Inirapan ko siya.

Nagkwentuhan kami ni Lexie, mostly tungkol lang sa buhay niya. I tried to bring George's name, but Lexie was obviously avoiding it. Hindi ko na lang ulit binanggit ang pangalan ni George dahil mukhang ayaw pag-usapan ni Lexie ang tungkol doon. I wonder what happened to them. It's just been a week.

We transferred to a cafe right after eating in the fast-food chain. Dessert na lang in-order ko at si Lexie naman ay bumili ng iced coffee.

"I don't know why my family loves to see me suffer! They already know I'm not really into business, but they keep telling me to handle it! Wala akong choice! Besides, they threatened me that they would take all my cards away! Hindi ako makapaniwala. I'm a fucking grown woman!" Sabi ni Lexie at halos mapasabunot na sa buhok.
