Captive Prince (Seduction Series #2)

Chapter 9

"Uhh.. Oo, okay lang ako." Sagot ko.

"Ikaw kasi mag-ingat ka, ano bang ginagawa mo dito?" He asked.

Kapal naman ng mukha nito magtanong, 'di ko naman siya kakilala.

"Wala, naglakad lakad lang."

Napansin niya atang umiiyak ako, kaya agad niyang dinukot ang panyo niya at iniabot sa akin.

"Here, take it." He gave me a small smile. "Oh, I'm Caleb by the way.." He said and reached his hand.

"Gwyneth," I smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Umuwi ka na, baka mapano ka pa," he said.

"Ummm... Wala kasi yung kotse ko eh, iniwan ko sa condo... E, wala na yung masasabayan ko, pero don't worry I'll just book a-"

"Don't worry, let me take you home." Pagputol niya sa sasabihin ko.

"No it's okay... Nakakahiya, you don't even-" Pagputol niya sa sasabihin ko.

"Baka mapa-ano ka ulit doon, come on I'll just take you home," he offered.

Wala na rin akong choice kun'di pumayag, ang kulit niya eh.

Naglakad kami kung saan siya galing, at biglang bumungad sa akin ang isang silver tesla. Sobrang ganda noon, at nakita ko kaagad sa kanya na mayaman siya.

Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto, at saka ako pumasok sa loob. Umikot siya para pumasok doon sa loob ng driver's seat. Pinaandar niya iyon at ni-guide ko lang siya papunta sa condo ni Sean, kukunin ko lang ang mga gamit ko doon, at saka pupunta kela Kait. Ayaw ko muna mag-stay sa bahay dahil ayaw ko rin malaman ni Mommy ang nangyari.

Pinaandar niya ang tesla, at umalis. Naka-tulala ako sa bintana, iniisip pa rin ang nangyari sa 'min kanina ni Sean, at biglang tumulo nanaman ang luha ko.

"Hey," sabi ni Caleb. "A-Are you okay?" He asked politely.

I actually don't know what to say, kaya I just shook my head.

"Hey, I know we don't k now each other yet, but you could talk to me." He said.

Hindi ko na napigilang humagulgol dahil sa sinabi niya, I felt so much pain. And... Kinwento ko sa kanya lahat nang nangyari kanina.

"Oh, so.. You're pregnant right now?" He asked.

"Yes," was all I said.

"If you want to... I could help you take care of the baby, I love kids." He said and smiled.

Ayaw ko mag-mukhang rude kaya I just stayed polite, magaan ang loob ko kay Caleb, kaya siguro I could make friends with him.

"Where will you stay after, then?" He asked me.

"At my friend's family," I answered.

He chuckled and look at me.

"You can stay with me, I'm lonely in my condo." He whispered pero narinig ko pa rin 'yon.

"What?" I asked pretending I didn't hear it.

"Wala." He muttered.

Nakadating na kami sa condo at habang tinatanggal ko seatbelt ko, hiningi niya ang number ko at binigay ko na din agad. Hiningi ko naman ang IG account niya para mas madali kaming makipag-usap.

Papasok pa lang ako ng elevator nang tumawag siya sa akin at sinagot ko naman.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hello, I just checked if this was really your number, Gwyneth... Right?" He said.

"Yup, thank you sa paghatid." Sabi ko, dahil hindi ako naka-kuha ng chance mag-thank you sa kanya kanina.

"No problem, wanna hang out sometimes?" He asked.

Nagulat ako sa tanong niya, pero hindi ko pinahalata iyon.

"Sure, not until my tummy grows big." I chuckled.

"Great, see you tomorrow! I'll pick you up." He said.

Grabe, bukas na kaagad?!

"Sige, thanks. Bye," I said at agad na binaba ang tawag.

Hays, sana wala pa sa condo si Sean.
