The Heart Of A Fighter

Chapter 24. The bulldog blushed

Late na akong nagising kinaumagahan. Buti nalang ay maayos na ang pakiramdam ko. Pakiramdam ko kasi kagabi ay lalagnatin na ako kinaumagahan dahil sa pagod at sakit ng katawan. Lumabas ako ng kwarto matapos mag-ayos ng sarili. Agad akong nagtungo sa kusina nang makarinig ng mukhang nagluluto.

Naamdaman ko ang pagbagal at pagbilis ng kabog ng dibdib ko nang makita ko ang likod niya.

He's tall and lean. Wide back. And broad shoulders. He's not that muscular but enough creature to make you melt as double Dutch ice cream on his hot and gorgeous manly poised. I also found him attractive even if you were facing his back side.

I gulped and shook my head making that thought vanished inside it.

Nag-alangan akong tumuloy kaya tumalikod nalang ako at maglalakad na sana pabalik sa kwarto nang magsalita ito.

I stilled.

"You're awake. I have set the breakfast....you can join me. I don't mind." He uttered.

Do I?

I sighed and whirl around to face him. He is looking at me attentively. I bore my eyes into him despite of the feeling I've always felt whenever he's around me.

Seems like he's better now than last night but when I looked directly in her eyes I immediately took my eyes off him the moment still I've seen the sadness reflecting on it.

I sighed.
"Okay." Sagot ko saka na nagtungo doon. Bahagya pa akong natigilan nang ipaghila pa ako nito ng upuan bago maupo sa harapan ko. Nagsimula na kaming kumain.

Then, an awkward silence enveloped the both us. I could feel his glance every five seconds and that makes me a bit uncomfortable. But I could still manage to keep my whole attention on my food. However, he still ruined that.

He sighed soundly.
"I'm sorry..." He said under his breath.

I stiffed.
"Sorry, for what?" Utas ko saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

"Sorry for what I've acted last night and for the past days I have made you feel like that...I shouldn't be." Is he regretting that he's worried about me?

Nanatili lang ang tingin ko sa pagkain.

"I-its okay. You know, I'm the one who should say that. I've been a careless and irresponsible woman again. And I'm sorry for that."

He snorts.
"Don't ever say that again. I don't wanna hear that from you putting yourself down." He said firmly.

"But I was just stating a---" he cut me off.

"Shut up or I'll kiss you?" That makes me literally stiffed. I'm almost choke from the food I was struggled to swallow so I immediately grab a glass of water when I recovered and drank it like I'm a thirsty little kid.
