Taste of Hell

Chapter 12

Dating him? Is it really possible? Now that I know he's Nikov Gustaf the owner of International Security and Protection Services.

Napabuntong hininga ako habang nakatitig sa kisame. Hindi ako makatulog dahil sa dami ng iniisip ko. Isa na doon ang nalaman ko ngayong araw na hindi pala basta-bastang bodyguard si Nikov kundi siya mismo ang may-ari ng ISPS.

Nikka didn't also tell me the truth because apparently Nikov told her not to tell anything.

She was so sorry and I told her I'm not mad at her. Doon lang siya kumalma at nagpasalamat.

I jolted when my phone ring. It looks like I've got a text message. Kinuha ko sa bedside table ang cellphone ko at tinignan iyon. Could it be my manager? Bukod sa manager ko wala naman ng magtetext sa akin ng ganitong oras. It's already 1 in the morning.

Nikov?

'You can't sleep? I'll bring milk in your room.'

A minute later someone is knocking on my door. Ipinatong ko ang cellphone ko sa bedside table at tumayo na para pagbuksan si Nikov.

"Nikov."

"Hi. You're light is still on so I assume you can't sleep?"

Nahihiya akong tumango sakanya."Yeah. Siguro hindi pa din nasasanay ang katawan ko sa ganitong adjusment hanggang ngayon. When I was still working I usually sleep late." Paliwanag ko.

"I understand." He nodded softly." I brought milk." Then he handed me a glass of milk.

"T-Thank you."

"Welcome."

Akala ko aalis na siya pero nanatili siyang nakatayo sa labas ng pinto ng kwarto ko.

"Ah...may kailangan ka pa?" I asked him.

"Hindi ka ba komportable sa kama mo? You can sleep in my bed if you want?"

Maybe it feels so warm and good to have someone, to share the bed with.

"Would that be okay if I sleep in your room?" Balik tanong ko sakanya.

"Just sleep in my room if you can't sleep."

I ended up going in his room. Pagkatapos kong maubos ang gatas na itinimpla niya ay nagsalita siya.

"Put the glass on the table. And let's sleep." Malumanay ang pagkakasabi niya.

"S-Sige." Inilapag ko sa table ang baso at humiga na.

His bed sure feels warm and good. But it feels way more warm and better because he is beside me.

"Are you feeling sleepy now?" He asked.

"Y-yeah." I absentmindedly smile.

"Great. Thanks to that milk you just drink." Aniya.

My smile grew even wider and talk without thinking.

"I think it's because I'm sleeping next to you that I feel so comfortable." It slipped on my mouth.

Naramdaman kong natigilan siya at hindi agad nakakibo.

"T-Then if you want you can sleep here from now on."

Napaangat ako ng tingin sakanya at nagtama ang mga mata namin.

"This is your room too from now on. You can come and sleep here whenever you feel like it."

"T-thanks."

He gave me a warm smile and I feel like something touch my heart.

Nagising ako kinabukasan at ang mukha ni Nikov ang unang bumungad sa akin.
