Chapter 32

Sechan ordered right ahead kaya naman agad ding naiserve.

"I hope you don't mind. I thought you'd be hungry after your work."

"Ayos lang. Mas mabuti nga," ngumuso ako.

He considered my work which I appreciate. Marami din ang gulay sa inorder niya na ikinatuwa ko dahil limitado lang ang pwede kong kainin ngayon dahil may trabaho pa ulit mamaya.

"You thought about this that much."

He smirked. "I want to be a supportive boyfriend so I'll always consider."

Natawa ako doon. "You're not my boyfriend."

"Tss. Suitor then."

I shrugged my shoulder. Sumimangot siya.

Natatawa pa ako sa reaksyon niya ng magpaalam siyang aalis na mamaya.

"My flight is after our lunch. I hope you don't mind if I keep your bodyguard. I promise you won't notice him."

"That's fine but I don't think there's a need to. Hindi pa din naman pinapakawalan si Steven, bukas o sa isang araw pa."

"I know but I wanna make sure. I'll be away so..." he eyed me hopefully.

I gave up. "Alright, then. Pero bukas din naman ay babalik na kaming Manila. He can stop from there," I said.

He didn't respond but I took his silence as a yes.

"This is nice," sabay nguya ko sa garden salad. Actually, there's nothing nice on it, just the usual but I want to have a change in conversation.

"What time do you need to go back?" he asked.

"Our lunch break is extended until three. We're kinda waiting for the big rocks to show." I replied in the middle of munching.

"Why? You're in a hurry?"

He sipped on his wine before answering.

"Not really, my flight's still at four." His adams apple moved as he spoke.

I'm not sure is it's too hot or it's him who's hot.

Nanuyo ang lalamuman ko kaya ginaya ko siya at uminom din sa baso ko. Ano nga ulit ang sinabi niya? Hindi ko na naintindihan dahil mas nakatutok ako sa pag-inom niya!

All in all, our lunch went smooth. I was just kinda distracted will all the things he does. Ilang beses ata akong natulala kanina. Hinatid niya ako hanggang makabalik sa hotel.

Bukas ay babalik na din kaming Manila. All my projects for the whole two weeks will only be around Manila.

Alam kong buo ang naging desisyon kong huwag ng sampahan ng kaso si Steven. Hindi ko na babawiin iyon. Napapaisip lang ako ngayong mag-isa lang ako sa kwarto ko na sana nga ay hindi ako nagkamali. Huwag sana akong biguin ni Steven.

Sechan and I exchange our numbers during our lunch. Now, I received a text from him.

Sechan:
I'm home.

Nagtitipa pa lang ako ng reply ng tumunog ang cellphone ko sa tawag niya.

"Hello?" Ako ang unang nagsalita.

I heard him sighed. "I miss you."

Damn. Nagliparan agad ang mga paru-paro sa tiyan ko.

"Kanina lang tayo nagkita."

"But I'm missing you every damn minute," his voice husky.

Gabi na at kakatapos ko lang mag shower. Kanina pa kami tapos sa photoshoot pero nagkaroon pa kami ng team dinner kaya naman halos ngayon lang din ako nakapagpahinga.
