Catch Me When I Fall (Isla De Verde Series #2)

Chapter 31

Is he really telling the truth? Pero ano naman kung sakaling totoo ang sinabi niya sa'kin? I can't change the fact that our relationship has already ended a long time ago. May boyfriend na ako at mahal ko si Gabriel. I can't leave him.

Sa loob ng ilang oras ay nanatili ako sa condo unit ni Adonis upang mabantayan siya. Mataas parin ang lagnat niya ngunit hindi kagaya kanina ay medyo bumaba naman na ito kahit papaano.

Bahagyang dumapo ang tingin ko sa kan'ya. He's sleeping peacefully as if there is no danger. He's like a baby only that he's not snoring. Hindi ko namalayang may maliit na palang ngiti ang gumuhit sa aking mga labi. Napailing-iling na lamang ako.

"This could be the effect of too much working for me..."

I looked at my wrist watch and it's already 12 o'clock in the midnight. Napahikab ako dahil sa sobrang pagod at antok. Mukhang wala na akong pagpipilian at dito nalang din matutulog. I can't just leave this guy with his dying state because of a high fever.

Dahil may couch naman sa loob ng kuwarto niya ay doon nalang ako nagtungo para mahiga. Hindi rin nagtagal ay unti-unti na akong nilamon ng antok hanggang sa makatulog ako ng tuluyan.

I woke up feeling the ray of sunlight hitting my cheeks. I adjusted my sight a little bit before roaming my eyes around. Kinapa ko ang kinahihigaan ko at napagtantong wala na pala ako sa couch at nasa kama na ako!

"Shit," I uttered feeling a little bit dizzy. Hindi ko narin makita si Adonis sa loob ng kwarto kaya kahit medyo nahihilo pa ako ay bumangon narin.

Tumama ang paningin ko sa side table niya kung nasaan ang nakapatong ang isang orasan. It's already 8 o'clock in the morning. Gano'n ba talaga ako kapagod para ma-late ng gising?

I went outside his room and looked for him. I can't find him on the living room so I decided to walk inside the kitchen. There, I found him with his topless back facing me. I can't help it but to examine his body built. He's just so hot and sexy in my eyes right now.

With those muscles that always protrudes whenever he moves his arm. My cheeks burned. I must be going crazy!

"What the hell, Yana? Stop that unearthly thoughts of yours!" I gritted through my teeth as I battled with my mind.

"Llantina, you're finally awake..."

Agad na nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kan'ya habang nakatikwas ang kilay ngunit agad din naman akong umiwas ng tingin dahil hindi ko kayang makipagtitigan sa natural na mapang-akit at mapupungay niyang mga mata. Hindi pa nakatulong na hubad ang pang-itaas niyang katawan na nakaharap sa akin!

I cleared my throat. "Yeah, are you feeling better now? Para makaalis narin ako."

I almost wanted to compliment myself for not stammering while talking to him. Wow, Yana. You're such a good actress! Papasa ka na talagang artista sa galing mong magpanggap ng totoo mong nararamdaman.

From my peripheral version, I saw him licked his lower lips that made it more look so red and there's even a glow of white as if it's shining. Goddamn it! He's indeed a walking temptation. Hindi ako pwedeng magkasala. Hindi maaari.

"Uh, I still have a fever. Please, stay..." He said, hoarsely.

"Nakatayo ka na nga riyan tapos sasabihin mong may lagnat ka pa? Siguro nga meron pero kaya mo naman na ang sarili mo." I snorted. "I need to leave now, you're a doctor so treat yourself!"

Muli akong nagmartsa papasok sa kuwarto niya upang kunin ang naiwang bag at sapatos. I wore my shoes and grabbed my bag. Mabilisan kong sinuklay ang buhok ko gamit ang aking mga daliri at lumabas narin.
