Meghan, My Chaos

Chapter 45

"That's nice." Matipid na sabi ko.

"He left for a few days after our one night stand, at pinayagan akong magthrow ng sarili kong party. He owns a bar kasi." Kuwento sa akin ni Meghan at tumango-tango nalang ako.

Declan?

What an awkward name. I don't like him already.

"He seems like a good guy." I said in a cold voice at umiwas ng tingin kay Meghan. "So what did 'Declan' tell you? Bakit siya bigla-biglang tumatawag in the middle of us having sex? Does he want you back?"

Naramdaman kong napatingin sa akin si Meghan.

"Are you jealous?" Nagtatakang tanong niya at agad naman akong sumagot.

"I'm not." Mariing sabi ko at tiningnan niya ako na parang nagtataka. After a while, she dropped the look she's giving me and went back to looking at her phone.

"Here. You can read it yourself. It's nothing, really. Mukhang wala namang malisya." Aniya at inabot sa akin 'yong phone niya.

Tiningnan ko muna siya bago tumingin sa phone niya na inaabot niya sa akin. She's literally handing me her phone, wala ba siyang pake sa privacy niya?

Hindi nalang ako nagtanong at kinuha na iyong phone niya.

Parang uminit iyong pakiramdam ko habang nagbabasa ng mga messages niya kay Meghan.

[I was drunk last night and I think I saw you]

[I'm sorry I suddenly called, bigla ko kasi naalala at gusto ko agad sanang malaman kung ikaw ba yun]

[Where are you right now? If you don'tmind me asking]

Napatingin ako kay Meghan na nanonood sakin magbasa.

"Are you gonna tell him where we are?" Tanong ko at ibinalik na iyong phone niya.

"Why not? He just wants to know kung ako iyong nakita niya. Nothing more." Simpleng sabi ni Meghan, but she looks uneasy. Parang nahihiya siyang magsabi sa akin.

"You can tell him." Mahinahong sabi ko at hinawakan iyong kamay niya. "I know it's me that you want now, not anyone else, kaya you can talk to him as much as you want. I trust you." I said as I kissed her hand.

"Are you sure you're not jealous? Guys usually get so possessive and controlling of me." Nagtatakang sabi niya sa akin at tinignan nang mabuti iyong mukha ko. I couldn't help but laugh with the way she's studying my face right now.

"Kahit ako pa magsabi kung asan tayo eh." Sabi ko sa kaniya at napangiti siya.

"Sure. My passcode is 2222." Hindi ko inaasahang sagot niya. "I'm gonna go take a shower." Sabi niya at tumayo na. Napalunok ako nang makita ulit siya na wala ni isang damit na suot. "And maybe we can continue doing what we were about to do kanina." She said as she walked over to the bathroom.

"Of course. I'll order some foods na rin while you shower." Sabi ko at natawa siya.

"Aww, I thought we're each other's breakfast." Pangaasar niya bago pumasok ng CR at natawa nalang ako. I sighed as she entered the restroom and I'm left alone and naked on the bed.

My gaze went back to Meghan's phone. She really left her phone with me and even gave me the passcode.

It's interesting. I hate it when people invade my privacy. Ni hindi ko nga pinahihiram ang phone ko.

I grabbed her phone and for some reason, felt nervous as I opened it.

Nakita ko ulit iyong messages noong Declan and I felt uneasy.

Huminga ako nang malalim at nagsimula nang magtype. I shouldn't name the hotel, should I? I don't think being specific would be good for both our safety.

I hit send as soon as I finished typing at tinitigan lang iyong phone niya, waiting for a reply.

After a while, wala pa rin akong natatanggap na reply kaya bumangon nalang muna ako.

I heard the shower coming from the bathroom at napangiti. Maybe I should join Meghan.

I stood up and brushed my fingers through my hair para maayos manlang ito kahit papaano. I stretched my arms at maglalakad na sana papunta sa CR nang marinig kong muling tumunog iyong phone ni Meghan. I grabbed it and entered the passcode.

[So it really is you. I'm in the area too]

[It's been a while. Do you maybe wanna see each other again?]

Napatingin ako sa pinto ng CR kung saan nagshoshower si Meghan and back to the phone I'm holding right now.

I sense something weird, but I don't want to control Meghan. I don't want to stop her if she wants to meet this guy.

I hope I don't regret this decision.
