JD's POV
Lucy is sleeping calmly on the bed. Parang napagod din yata ako sa dami ng nangyari sa amin magmula pa noon una kaming nagkakilala. Who would have thought that I would fall for this woman? I've seen her worst side. I've have known her worst attitude and yet I am here beside her. I chose to be with her over anything.
I kissed her forehead and I moved away from her and left the bed. She moved a bit but still in deep sleep. Only the bedsheets covering her body. I got my boxers and wore it then looked for my phone. Kahit alas tres pa lang ng madaling araw alam kong sasagot si Mason kapag tumawag ako.
"Everything okay now?" Iyon ang bungad niya sa akin ng sagutin ang tawag ko.
I cleared my throat before I could speak and took a deep breath.
"I screwed up, Maze." Mahinang sabi ko. I don't want to disturb Lucy's sleep. Pumuwesto pa ako sa bandang veranda ng kuwarto niya.
Napa - tsk lang si Mason sa narinig na sinabi ko.
"How bad?" Seryosong tanong niya.
"I fell for my mission."
Mahinang napamura si Mason sa narinig na sinabi ko.
"Ano ba JD? You are my most trusted agent. Napakarami mo ng trinabaho na ganyan." Sabi niya.
"This just happened." Hindi ko alam kung paano ako mag - explain kay Mason. Kasi kahit ako hindi ko alam kung paano i - explain sa sarili ko na nangyari ito.
"Kaya nga gusto na kitang i - pull out diyan. How will you explain to her that she is just your mission? She would never understand. Alam mong mahirap intindihin ang trabaho natin," tonong nanenermon si Mason.
"I know." Tiningnan ko si Lucy na tulog na tulog sa kama. But she is worth everything.
"Anong plano mo ngayon? You haven't even solve the problem in her office. 'Tang ina. Lumandi ka lang yata diyan. Ano ba naman, JD?" Punong - puno ng frustration ang boses ni Mason.
"Ako ang bahala dito. Just one request. Ako na ang bahalang magpaliwanag kay Lucy. Labas ang agency dito. She would never know about my true identity, about us. You know that's our priority," sagot ko.
"Alam mo pala na iyon ang priority natin bakit pinabayaan mong ganyan? Lucy is a civilian. Kahit anong paliwanag ang gawin mo hindi niya maiintindihan kung bakit ka nandiyan. Kapag nalaman niya ang lahat, magagalit siya sa iyo. Alam mo iyon. It happened to me. They will never understand us."
Hindi ako nakasagot sa sinabi ni Mason. Totoo naman iyon. Mason has been in this situation before and it didn't end well.
"You did your own rules. And for years you followed your rules and everything is okay. You became the top agent of our agency. Bakit ngayon binali mo lahat iyon? Is she worth it, James?"
Napalunok ako at tumingin kay Lucy.
"Yes." Mahinang sagot ko.
Kung magkaharap kami ni Mason ay baka nabatukan niya na ako.
"What are your fucking plans?" Mason sound defeated.
"I'll still go with my mission. Just one request. Ako na ang bahala sa pag - exit ko dito. Don't do the pull out drill. Ayokong magulat siya," sabi ko. Kasi alam kong hindi maganda ang nangyayari sa tuwing nagkakaroon ng ganitong pull out sa mga agent.
Huminga ng malalim si Mason.
"I hope you know what you're doing. But do it fast." Tapos ay narinig ko siyang napatawa sa kabilang linya. "But I'm happy for you. At least malambot pa rin pala ang puso mo and you are still capable of falling in love after what happened to you and Melissa."
