Falling in Love in London

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

As soon as we got into Connagh's apartment, fortunate of me, we're alone as we heading inside his flat. It was still an embarrassing situation for me. I didn't expect that it would go through this. Maaagapan ko naman sana if it happened just before the party so I could be wearing thick pads sana o kaya tampon—which I don't normally used, but really helpful in some occasions.

Dumiretsyo kaagad ako sa common bathroom para makapagpalit nng damit. I have no clothes in his home kaya naman tumungo siya sa kwarto para kuhaan ako ng damit na maipapahiram sa akin.

Nakatukod ang kamay ko sa lababo at kaharap ang salamin. Hindi ko naman maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Halo-halo na mas nangingibabaw ang kahihiyan na nakuha ko kanina. I'm not even sure if any people there saw the stains at the back of my dress. I was so confident at that moment that I didn't realize that I made a mess.

I stared at myself in the mirror and saw how devastated I am. Gusto kong iiyak na lang ang nangyari kanina. Super nakapanlulumo. Gusto ko na lamang magpalamon sa lupa after knowing that it happened. And Connagh has to see it!

I mean, it wasn't bad that he saw and told me about it, it was actually a good thing because he helped me along the way and I absolutely don't know how to repay him for doing that kind act. I'm just out of words. I might be losing my points after this incident. I still have to worry about my internship because if I failed, I can no longer apply for the Mercondia Sponsorship and I had to repeat one semester for the completion of my internship.

It's just so hard to accept that I might failed it and obviously, my boss.

I startled when Connagh knocked on the door.

"Kiersten?" tawag nito sa akin. "I have your clothes to use for now. I have here a shirt, well, I think it'll fit for you. I also have a pair of sweatpants and yeah, a clean underwear. What do you think so? And oh! I haven't use this underwear so you can keep it or do whatever you want with it."

"Sure..." I muttered. "Thank you, sir."

"That's alright, Kiersten. How can I give it to you?"

"I'm not naked yet so you can still open the door," sagot ko naman sa kanya.

"Alright." Nag-abiso ulit siya na papasok siya sa loob kaya nang buksan niya ang pinto ay bumungad siya sa akin. He's still on his clothes and he only took his coat off. Inabot din naman niya sa akin 'yong damit. "Take your time, Kiersten."

"I'm so sorry—"

But then he touch my hand that made me stop talking. He shook his head. "Don't ever think about it. It's fine with me. You don't have to worry, Kiersten. Take your time, I'll be out in the living room. I might change as well so I'll meet you in the living room, alright?"

"Sige..." tipid kong sagot sa kanya saka tuluyan na niya akong iniwan para makapagsimula na akong maglinis.

Knowing that Connagh helped after everything I've done to him. Though hindi naman niya alam na iniiwasan ko siya and I feel so guilty now for doing it. Maybe his intention of getting close to me—let me rephrase that thought, nagtutunog assuming ako sa statement na 'yon. Our relationship as my mentor and intern is reaching its limits. I thought I shouldn't get too close with him that's why I started swaying away from him and get closer to Berk.

I started taking off my dress and quickly get on to the shower. Binilisan ko na lang din naman ang paglilinis ko dahil natutulala na lang din ako bigla-bigla. When I started wearing the spare clothes he gave to me, it somehow made me a little comfortable. He has no any girl stuff around his home. We forgot na dumaan sa grocery to buy some pads o kaya naman tampon which is normally used here in London.
