The Hidden Gem

Chapter 34

"It's grease..." He said it so casually that it's like a normal thing.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "You're doing something dangerous. If HD found out..."

He shrugged. "I know you're not gonna tell him."

"You put too much hope on me."

"No. It's trust."

Bahagyang napaangat ang dulo ng aking mga labi at initsya sa kanyang ang hawak ko na nasalo niya. Matapos no'n ay lumabas na 'ko, kumain saglit bago dumiretso sa opisina ni HD.

I knocked three times before I heard a click when he unlocked the door from the other side.

Alam ko ang mga sasabihin ko at pinag-isipan ko talaga itong mabuti. Dinukot ko ung candy sa bulsa ko at binuksan para mawala ang kaba. Unti unting bumukas ang pinto and I didn't expect the masterpiece I'm seeing right now.

Standing before me was none other than HD with his shirt off. He was freaking shirtless!!!

Agad na nablangko ang isip ko at wala sa sarili akong napakagat ng malakas sa kendi. Tila ba lahat ng sasabihin ko nawala nang lumutang ang isip ko. We were both looking straight into each other's face. Agad na namula at uminit ang mukha ko nang mapagtantong ilang minuto akong nakatitig at tulala sa kanya. I lowered my gaze so he wouldn't catch how red my face had become. Wrong move! Shit!

My eyes landed exactly on his eight, gorgeous, hard and firm chiseled abs.

Oh my God! I was just imagining this before and now it's here served in front of me. Nilagay ko ang mga kamay ko sa bulsa ko para pigilan ang sariling tanggalin ang salamin ko para makita ko ng maayos. May sarili kasing buhay tong mga kamay ko minsan. Kabadong kabado ako and it's my first time in more than a year to see his glory and I was stopping the urge to touch and brush my fingers to each eight-Stop Gem! You're being a perv.

"Come in! I'm not yet decent. Saglit lang." sabi niya bago tumalikod at kinuha ang isang gray t-shirt sa sofa.

'For the love of all things good and holy, please let him do it fast'.

May parte saking gustong sumang-ayon pero hindi ako nandito para sambahin ang katawan niya. Yung puso ko parang ayaw kumalma kaya huminga muna ako ng malalim bago pumasok. Nakita ko siyang nagdadamit at pasimple akong tumingin sa kataw-I mean sa kanya.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang ni-lock niya ung pintuan. Nakatingin siya sakin habang papalapit.

"Umupo ka." Utos niya. Ngayon ko lang napansin na hindi pa pala ako nakakaupo.

"O-okay."

Pinagmasdan ko ang mukha niya at masasabi kong his mood was better than before. Pero mukang napabayaan niya ang sarili niya. I could see his stubbles na halatang hindi pinansin ng ilang alaw or maybe weeks. He had bags under his eyes and it looked like that something was covering the light in his eyes. The only thing I appreciated was his messy hair that made him more firm and masculine. He's wearing a pair jeans and that shirt far from his usual business attire.

Kahit na ganyan ang itsura niya, halata namang mas maayos siya kaysa noong mga nakaraang araw. Siguro dahil sa problemang nadala ko pero kaya nga ako nandito para linawin na ang halos lahat. Inayos ko ang sarilli ko at isinantabi ko muna ang kaninang naramdaman ko pagkapasok. This is it.

"Before you say something, may sasabihin muna 'ko." He said that made me curious. "I'm s-sorry."

"I hate you." mabilis at malamig kong sabi habang nakatitig sa kanya.
