Her Billionaire Boss

Chapter 35

"Are you okay?"

Naputol agad ang pag-iisip ko tungkol sa nangyari kanina at tinignan si Blake. We're at the food stalls, eating our foods. Umupo kami sa bakanteng lamesa at mga upuan sa bandang tindahan kung saan binilihan ni Blake ang pagkain namin.

"I'm okay." I gave him a smile at and took a bite of the spaghetti he bought.

Blake stared at me, as if he's studying my every move. All I could was just eat. Ayokong malaman niya ang nangyari kanina.

"Do you want me to buy you a medicine or something? You said that your stomach wasn't feeling well, earlier." Blake suggested but still staring.

"No need. Thank you." I dismissively said.

He just raised his left eyebrow as a response.

"Seriously," I chuckled just to ease him.

He jokingly rolled his eyes, "Fine. Sabi mo eh."

I laughed at him but immediately winced when my back hit the back of the chair. Agad kong binalewala kasi baka mahalata ni Blake. Buti nalang na-focus yung atensyon niya sa pagkain. I just silently adjusted my seat and cleared my throat. Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagkain kahit sumakit and likod at tiyan ko dahil sa pagsipa ni Trisha kanina.

Blake's phone rang and nawala agad ang gana ko sa pagkain. All I can feel is the intense beating of my heart. The ringing of the phone is making me feel so nervous.

"Hello?" rinig kong sagot ni Blake.

I looked at him and I saw how his face written in confusion.

"What? Are you serious? Are they okay? Where are they now? How about the driver that hit them?" Sunod-sunod na pagsagot ni Blake sa kausap niya sa phone. Alam ko na agad na isa yun sa mga bodyguards na nagbabantay sa mga magulang ko. I know they are talking about the accident.

After the call, Blake sighed and looked at me.

"Your parents," he trailed off, as if he's expecting me to say something.

I nodded, "Alam ko. Tumawag si mama kanina. Sabi niyang huwag na akong mag-aalala dahil hindi naman sila napahamak. Mag-uupdate lang siya." I said.

Blake took my hand from the table and gently tracing some circle patterns at the back of my hand using his thumb.

"That must have been bothering you lately. Para ka kasing hindi mapapakali. Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep your parents safe. I can get you home nalang to rest up, if you want." he gently smiled and I sighed.

I'm going to miss that smile.

"It's okay," I wrapped my fingers around his, intertwining them, "I'll be okay. Let's just enjoy the worries away."

"Okie dokie," he replied, still having that sweet smile on his face.

My heart tightened. This is going to be the last time I'll ever get to hold his hand like this. The last time I'll stare at his face and just admire it. Hindi ko mapigilang tinititigan siya. Gusto kong mamememorya ang sandaling ito. Ang mukha niya, ang kamay naming nagkadikit at ang ngiti niyang nakapagbigay ng saya sa akin.

"Sabihin mo nalang kasi na gwapo ako." pagbibiro niyang sabi nang natanto niyang nakatitig ako sa mukha niya.

I rolled my eyes. He laughed. I grabbed the fork, twirling the spaghetti and shove it in his mouth. He laughed harder even though his mouth is full of spaghetti. Dahil sa pagtawa niya, he suddenly choked. Ako na naman ngayon ang tumawa. Karma came by so fast.

Habang tumatawa, agad kong binigay sa kanya ang tubig at ininom niya. He playfully glared at me while closing the cap of the bottled water.

He then puts his elbow on the table, rested his chin on his hand and beamed, "Now that's the smile that I fell for."
