Take me to your HEART (GxG) : BOOK 1

Chapter 25 : Cuddling Ms. Sungit

"yabang!" tudyo ko then i pinch her pointed nose while secretly stabilizing my breath.

" aray naman! " reklamo nito na tinawanan ko lang habang naaaliw na pinagmamasdan ang namumula nyang ilong. She then stare at me quietly kasunod ng pagseryoso ng itsura.

Isang marahang buntong hininga ang pinakwalan nya bago isinatinig ang gustong sabihin.

"where are those flower's came from?" she asked in a neutral tone. Nagulat man sa ibinato nyang tanong, hindi ko iyon ipinahalata sa kanya.

"why do you want to know?" sagot ko, mimicking her response on me a while ago. Trying to suppress a smile but then agad ko iyong binawi when i saw her staring at me seriously.

Pinilit kong makipagtitigan sa kanya,sending her some kind of message na kaya ko ring makipag-matigasan sa kanya, but at the end ako rin ang sumuko.

Nakakainis! kahit kelan talaga, hindi ako uubra sa kanya.

Marahas akong nagpakawala ng buntong-hininga then i look into her eyes "K-kay F-Fermin" i struggled on spilling out her friends name habang pilit na ino-obserbahan ang magiging response nya , pero blangko ang reaction ng mukha nito.

"do you like him?" diretsong tanong nya.

"of course not!" exaggerated kong sagot kasunod ng pagtaas ng isang kilay.

"are you sure?" tanong nya ulit

"oo naman" i said in a firm tone.

Gabby did not respond and just studying my facial reaction. When i noticed that she didn't want to say a word, inamin ko na sa kanya that Fermin were trying to court me ever since i started working in their Company. Sinabi ko rin sa kanya that i already busted him before at hindi ko malaman sa ngayon kung bakit bumalik na naman ito sa panunuyo sa akin gayong ilang beses ko nang sinabi na friendship lang ang kaya kong i-offer dito.

Natapos ang pagku-kwento ko pero tahimik lang syang nakamasid sa akin. Ni hindi ko mabasa kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan nya until she asked me. " kung hindi mo sya gusto, bakit ang saya-saya mo nuong natanggap mo yung flower's nya?".

Surprise in her question, daglian kong binalikan ang mga nangyari nung araw na yun.

Tama naman sya on her observation, i was happy back then when i received that bouquet of flowers but only because of one particular reason....

" you were right, masaya nga ako that time, because i thought --- " I started, but abruptly stop on continuing my statement ng mapansin kong napatiim bagang sya " because, i thought, ... i thought galing iyon sayo.. " mabilis kong dugtong na halos magkandabulol while trying to catch her whole attention and distracting her from any thought na maaring maglaro sa isip nya. Hindi nagtagal, I watched as her reaction changes, mula sa nagtatagis na bagang hanggang sa nahalinhan iyon ng pagbakas ng pagtataka. I secretly sighed in relief ng makita sya sa ganuon anyo " i didn't know na galing iyon kay Fermin, nalaman ko lang nung luma----" i continued trying to explain my side of story but she quickly cut me off by pulling and hugging me so dearly. Hindi ako nakahuma and just find myself hugging her back .

It's good to know na parehas na kaming may pang-itaas na saplot dahil kung hindi ay baka kung saan na naman kami humantong lalo na at nararamdaman ko ang mainit na isinisingaw ng katawan nito.

"Enough" she said "from now on, i don't want to hear anything about him" dugtong nya and then she pull herself away not removing her arms sa pagkakadantay sa akin while glareing at me " i told you a while ago that your mine ...and i mean it. Ayokong tumatanggap ka ng anything galing sa kanya ..at isa pa, you need to inform me kapag kinulit ka pa nya ulit. understood?" she said in a voice full of conviction. Natitigilan akong napatingin sa kanya habang pilit pinagsi sink-in sa sarili ang mga sinabi ng kaharap.
