His Sweet Lectures

Chapter 18: Overnight

CARINA'S POV

I'M LYING down beside Sir Luke while his head is on my chest and I'm gently massaging his head.

Tumatakbo sa isip ko yung sinabi nya sakin kanina.

"Do you want to hear something I didn't said earlier?" Sabi nya.

"Yes. What it is?" Sabi Ko.

"Stay with me if you want to know." Sabi nya and stands up to get a hoodie.

I'm wearing his oversized hoodie now. I think it's my third Hoodie from him.

We're just silent and have our own thoughts running. But it's not awkward, I think we're slightly comfortable with each other.

"Why you're not asking anything?" He asked me.

"What's your favorite series?" I asked him trying to divert from a different conversation as I know where his question is leading to.

"I don't have time to watch some. No favorites." Sabi nya.

"You know that's not what I meant." Dagdag ulit nya.

"You heard everything a while ago. At the bar." Sabi nya ulit sakin

I looked at the ceiling. I actually have a lot of questions but I don't even know how or what to ask.

"I'm not ready yet." I told him.

"I understand. " Sabi naman ni Sir Luke.

"Sorry to put you in this kind of situation. " Sabi nya ulit.

"Yeah apology accepted." Sabi ko and I laughed.

I'm trying not to be serious because I'm avoiding questions from him too.

I'm afraid I can't answer him.

"Why you're not getting back with your ex?" Tanong nya.

Yan na nga ba sinasabi ko e. I know he will brought up things that I don't want to answer.

"I'm not ready yet." I said the same answer

"Why"

Talagang may follow up question pa ang loko.

"I don't want to be in a relationship for now." I said.

Well, that's true.

"Why?" He asked again.

"Because I'm not ready. Again." Sabi ko.

Anyone would really be pissed off to my answer.

And he's one of it.

"Me too." Sabi nya.

"What?" I asked him

"What?" He asked me too.

"Why did you say me too? I said I'm not ready and you say me too. You're not ready of what?" Tanong ko.

I just got curious suddenly.

"I'm not ready to lose you and I don't think I can be." Sabi nya

I didn't speak and the both of us are silent.

"You know what, I'm hungry." I told him

I didn't say that because I don't want him to talk about "us" anymore. Yeah quoted.

It is because I'm really hungry.
