Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 27

I can't hide my smile while staring at the ring that Dave gave me. It's his heirloom ring and I can't believe he really gave it to me.

"Gurl kanina ka pa tulala? Problema mo?" I shook my head and smile at Mekael a bit.

"Sanaol good mood" asar niya kaya bahagya lang akong napanguso at saka napatingin sa bandang gilid ko.

Everything felt surreal.

Naaalala ko pa noong unang tapak ko sa probinsyang 'to. I can't forget that he bumped me, at the airport. I hate him at first, but what happened?

Napangiti nalang ako saka napailing.

I've read some articles about different love stories and novels as well and I couldn't really believe that I will also fall inlove with a guy in unexpected time and place.

Maybe that's how it works. Maybe you'll really find love unexpectedly. Hindi ko man 'to naramdaman kay Clark noon, natagpuan ko naman kay Dave ngayon. I hope...I just hope na ito na. Drake, I found my shelter in him that I never felt in my entire life. He's just too different from any guys I knew.

"Si Dave oh" agad akong napatingin sa likuran ko dahil sa sinabi ni Mekael.

I immediately saw Dave with his friends entering the cafeteria. That guy looks so good, no wonder. When his eyes found me he tapped Oliver and Shaun's shoulder before walking towards me. Napangiti ako ng kaunti habang tinitingnan siya palapit sa akin.

"Akalain mo nga naman oh, sinong mag-aakalang magiging kayo? Inis na inis ka kay Dave noon eh."

I pouted a bit hearing Mekael's words.

"Hi" Dave softly said as he sit beside me.

Napangiti nalang ako saka uminom ng tubig. Mas lumapit si Dave sa akin saka bahagyang sininghot ang buhok ko. Napatingin ako sa kaniya dahil sa ginawa niya.

"Hmmm?" I asked.

He laughed a bit and shook his head. Bahagyang tumaas ang kilay ko dahil sa mapaglarong ngiti sa mga labi niya.

"Ang init, why did you wore this turtle neck blouse?" Nang-init ang mukha ko sa sinabi niya kaya inirapan ko siya. He chuckled and planted a single kiss on my right cheek causing my face to burn even more.

I wore turtle neck today because I have a lots of lovebites all over my neck ang collarbone. Medyo kita parin siya, kaya kailangan kong itago. Concealer won't last long in this hot province. Dave is a sucker. Damn

"Hmmm excuse nalang, naiinggit na ako. Escapo nalang me." Sabay kaming napatingin kay Mekael dahil sa padabog niyang pagtayo.

I slightly pushed Dave away from me because I suddenly forgot that we are in public. He chuckled and sit properly.

Kinuha niya ang kamay ko saka pinaglaruan ang singsing na bigay niya. I smiled sweetly while staring at him doing that thing. My hand were so small compare to his hand. We just stayed silent for a minute.

Naghiwalay lang kami ng matapos ang breaktime, pagkahatid niya sa akin sa room ko agad na rin siyang pumunta sa next class niya.

"Hintayin mo ako mamaya." Napatango lang ako saka pinanood siyang naglalakad palayo.

"Sanaol may jewa! Sanaol mahal!" Napairap nalang ako sa panunukso ni Mekael.

Lahat ng nandito sa room nanunukso ring tumingin sa akin. I walked towards my seat with head held high without minding their malicious stares. As if I care.

"Shet lahian mo nga ako ng ganda. Kahit katiting lang niyang blue eyes mo. Sarap siguro ng isang Dave Terrence!" Patiling sabi ni Mekael kaya napangiwi ako.
