Chapter3: fool proof
I woke up to the smell of coffee accompanied by a sense of warmth and coziness from the sheets beneath me. My eyes fluttered open, at natanaw ko ang pamilyar na sulok ng silid. It was the same room I laid a few weeks ago. At gaya ng unang beses na naparito ako, there was pain on the side of my arm. Napakurap ako, and realized I was shot.
On the arm.
Not a vital spot.
What a shame. It must have been realistic if it was somewhere vital.
Well, at least I'm alive.
Still disappointed though.
Napangiwi ako nang igalaw ko ang braso. It was definitely painful, but for me, feeling pain is a step closer to my success. I've been shot quite a few times, and of course the universe is always on my side that's why I still see the day. It would be so lame if I die without even achieving the power and authority that I have been aiming for all of my life.
Ilang beses akong napakurap at hinanap ang pigura ng taong iyon.
"Elias?" Tawag ko. It's weird to call him by his fake name. Normally, I would prefer to call him Posei but he does not like that, at ayaw ko namang mainis siya sa akin.
"You're awake," narinig kong sabi niya nang bumukas ang pinto sa tabi. Considering he's only wearing a towel, malamang banyo ang loob ng pintong inyon.
Agad na bumaba ang paningin ko sa dibdib niya, to which I immediately looked away. It's not like this is the first time I saw a body as gorgeous as he had. I mean, that tan skin is so good. Not to mention that there were some dents on it na tiyak kong kung hindi man bala ang sanhi, ay mga matatalas na bagay.
Tinampal ko ang pisngi, feeling annoyed to myself. Damn it, I am not even acting! His body just made me blush! Shit.
Napansin niya ang reaksyon ko kaya agad niya akong pinuna. "Don't tell me this is the first time you saw a naked torso?"
Well shit.
I stabbed myself mentally. "H-hindi naman, pero pwede ba magbihis ka, bago pa kita papakin! You know I like you kaya wag mong samantalahin ang kahinaan ko."
There was no reaction from him, just as I expected. Pero mabuti na lang at agad siyang nagbihis. I looked away for a while at nang muli siyang magsalita ay nakasuot na siya ng puting sando at itim na shorts— a combination so simple yet so good on him.
Shit talaga. Kailan pa ako naging ganito.
"How do you feel?" Tanong niya nang makabihis.
"Ugh, not sure, I'm not feeling well." I tried my best to look worried. "What happened? Sino ang mga taong 'yon? Are they connected with what business you have with Tristan? Am I in danger too?" Saglit kong pinakiramdaman ang sarili ko. My eyes widened when I realized I am in his oversize shirt, with just my undeargarmets beneath.
