Wild Heart (Eastwood University Series #2) ✔️

Chapter 18

Naiiling na binagsak ko ang libro na binabads bago mapahilot sa sentido. Nandito na naman kasi ako sa library para mag aral. Exam is just a few weeks away and may pa oral recitation pa si Miss Ferrucci sa subject niya.

Sa Monday pa naman 'yung recitation sa kaniya pero gusto ko na 'yung nakakapag aral na ako maaga pa lang para hindi ako ngarag during the time. Ayaw ko kasi ng ganon. I want high grades and I must do better to get it.

Hinihilot ko ang aking sentido when suddenly, someone sat on the chair in front of me. Inangat ko ang aking tingin sa kung sino na iyon and that's when my heart started to beat when I see that soft smile of hers looking at me.

"Hello, girlfriend," she greeted me before putting a bouquet of flowers on the table and a sweet kiss on my knuckles.

She smiled sweetly at me and binigay ang usual lunch box na dala nito. Lagi na lang kami nag l-lunch dito sa library ever since I started reviewing for the exams. Halos dito kami tumatambay every vacant namin.

"Here's your lunch. It's all for you. I already eat lunch with Tyson earlier," sabi nito ng nakangiti habang inaayos ang mga pagkain.

"Thank you," I gave her a soft smile before digging in. She just nodded at iminuwestra ang pagkain na nasa harap.

"I saw you massaging your head earlier," Sidra looked at me, worried before giving me a smile, "Are you having a headache?"

Umiling ako, "No, medyo nahihilo lang siguro gawa ng salamin na suot ko."

Tumango siya before holding my head and patting it in a soft manner, "You're working too hard. You should rest sometimes."

Ngumiti ako sa kaniya, "I will."

"That's good to hear," mahinang saad nito at pinatakan ng magaan na halik ang aking ulo.

After that, tahimik itong nag cellphone at minsan ay inaabutan ako ng tubig tuwing nahingi ako. Naiwan ko kasi yung tumbler ko sa bahay kaya sa tumbler niya ako nainom ngayon.

Maya maya lang din ay natapos na ako sa pagkain at inayos na ang pinagkainan. Sidra was now the one reading the book that I was studying earlier while having a soft smile on her lips.

"Anong nakakatuwa sa libro na 'yan?"

Sidra looked up at me before shaking her head, "I just remember studying the same lesson as you have. I missed this."

Napairap ako, "E 'di aral ka ulit."

Napanguso naman siya sa aking sinabi bago tumabi sa aking upuan.

Sidra playfully glared at me bago sundutin ang tagiliran ko, "Why are you so mean today?"

Muli na lamang ako napairap habang inaayos ang gamit kaya napayakap na lang ito sa bewang ko before she happily sighs.

"I can't believe you're really my girlfriend now," maririnig ang masayang boses nito habang sinasabi iyon kaya 'di ko rin mapigilan na maglabas ng malambot na ngiti habang tinitingnan ito.

Hindi ito nakatingin sa akin ngayon. Nakayakap kasi ito sa aking bewang habang ang ulo ay nasa aking dibdib. She looks like a baby damulag right now. So clingy.

"Are you really sure with what you said that night?"

Napakunot ang aking noo sa narinig. Is she having doubts right now?

"Of course. Why would you think that?" Tanong ko sa naguguluhan na boses.

"Well, I thought, it's out of pity that's why you said that—"

I sighed, "Hindi ba pwedeng sinabi ko 'yon dahil gusto na rin kita?" Tanong ko that made her silent, "It's not out of pity, Sidra. Yes, you look vulnerable that night but hindi naman ako tanga to do that to you."
