Acresia Academy: The Six Aces (Editing)

CHAPTER 21

Arthea's POV

DID you ever feel like wanting to not wake up because you prefer to stay in your bed forever? That's what I am feeling right now. I really am enjoying the warmth of my bed although feel ko may nagbago sa kama ko. Parang matigas na eh. But nevermind  I still snuggle closer to my bed feeling it's warmth envelope me.

But I was stunned and unable to move as my bed move and then bigla nalang nag-replay saken yung kagabi. Nawala ang kanina nararamdaman ko pang antok. My body went stiff and the man I thought a while ago as my bed must have felt it too because he tighten his hold on my waist kaya kahit anong pilit kong makawala ay hindi ko magawa. I started squirming but I gasped when I felt something poke just below my belly. Rainier then groaned and he keep me still.

“Stop moving babe or else you won't like what I am planning to do.” Rainier said in a raspy voice. I feel my heart beating erratically.

When he loosen his grip on me ay walang babalang bumangon ako and then keep my distance. Oh damn! Damn this adonis in front of me! Damn his perfectly hot bed hair and his abs displaying! I hear him chuckle and then I realize he can read my thoughts.

“I already know it baby.” Rainier said which earn me an uncomfortable feeling! Bweset talaga 'tong Ulan na 'to! Why does he have to say it?

Tumayo siya saka kinuha yung t-shirt niyang nasa table. saka isinuot niya. Lumapit siya saken and then he extended his hand. I watch him as if hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko sa kamay niya. I raised my brow and then he chuckle in response.

“Come on I'll be cooking.” then he give me his million dollar worth smile.

I huff and then kinuha ko yung kamay niya. He slightly squeeze my hand and then he lead me to kitchen. Umupo ako sa kitchen counter while watching him move around the kitchen.

After ilang minutes ay natapos na siya sa pagluluto and then he handed me his carbonara.

We ate in a deafening silence. I kept glancing on him, confused of what is happening. We have just an argument last week and then kahapon pagkarating ko sa academy ay bigla nalang siyang nagalit and then I just heard his earth shattering confession. I rolled my eyes, earth shattering my ass!

I sighed and played with my food. Nawiwindang ako sa mga nangyayari and I have notice myself loosening up a bit. I know I'm cold and all but pagkatapos lang nang ilang buwang pananatili ko rito ay parang nag-iba na ako. In good way though, maybe.

“Morning people!” hyper na sabi ni Kazumi habang tinitingnan kaming dalawa. She raise her brow questioningly but I just shrugged and continued what I am doing.

“I'm 100% sure na cold rin ang future baby niyo.” naibuga ko ang juice na iniinom dahil sa sinabi ni Kazumi.

Rainier automatically went to my side and tap my back. Natatawang tinitigan kami nina Miyukki at nang iba pang ace na ngayon ay nandito na rin pala sa kitchen. They tease us but they were shut up by Rainier who is looking at me with concern lace in his eyes. My heart went crazy that I have to clutch my chest.

Kanya-kanyang kain na ang mga kasama ko pero nahuhuli ko silang sekretong natatawa while exchanging mischief glance. I sighed in frustration, mga isip-bata talaga. I'm sure mamaya they'll tease us again.

Pagkatapos kong kumain ay nauna na akong pumunta sa sala. I turned the tv on and search for some good movie. I played If Only and settled on my seat. I was so engrossed watching the movie and I even shed a tear dun sa part na kinanta nung girl yung song composition niya.

A hand snaked on my waist and I was greeted by a frowning Rainier.

“Were you crying?” I immediately shook my head habang ibinabalik ang tingin ko sa movie na pinapanood ko. As soon as he asked me ay pumunta sa sala ang ang mga kasama namin. Kanya-kanya silang pwesto.

I hear sobs nung nasa heartbreaking part na kami. I sniff trying to stop myself from crying too. Rainier stated to soothe me while I bit my lip to prevent a sob threatening to spill out.

This is so not like me! Hindi naman ako yung tipo nang tao na over makareact sa isang movie lang. But then, as I watch the movie unti-unting nagrere-play sa utak ko yung worst moment ng buhay ko na matagal ko nang ibanaon sa hukay. That day when I witness my brother dying habang ang mga magulang ko naman ay nagdecide na maghihiwalay na sila.

“Stop that fxcking movie now!” Rainier's voice boom and then he growl nung lumakas yung iyak nina Kazumi at Miyukki. Napailing na lang sila Jin at Rio habang tinitingnan yung dalawa.

Nangunot pa lalo ang noo ni Ranier habang tinitingnan ako just then I realize na basa na pala yung pisngi ko. He sighs and then stroke my cheek with his hands. As cliche as it sound but the moment our eyes meet ay parang nagkaroon kami ng sariling mundo. It feels like we have our own world which he and I are the only ones who live. Butterflies erupted on my stomach and it's giving me weird feelings.

We were snapped in our moment when someone cleared their throat, at bigla na lamang nag-“ayyyieeee” ang lahat.

A blush crept into my face but I manage to give them death glares which shut them up.

“I guess PDA is better than a movie huh?” natatawang sabi ni Jin habang nakipag-apir sa tatlo.

Nakita ko si Rainier na tinaasan ng kilay sila Jin at Rio while giving them playful glares na tinawanan naman nila. I slap Rainier's arm which earn me a chuckle. I shook my head in disbelief, pati ba naman siya?

I give Kazumi ang Miyukki a hopeful look but I was disappointed when the wiggle their brows. Inis na binigyan ko sila ng cold look dahil halata namang pinagt-tripan nila ako. After awhile ay bigla nalang silang nagtawanan.

A smile crept on my face seeing them this happy. I silently wish for this moment to not end as I slowly lean into Rainier's body.
