Hera Peace (Chavez Series #1)

CHAPTER 16

"Hello," i greeted when he picked up my call

"Hey,"

"You okay? Not in the mood to talk?" he sound annoyed when he greeted me which is unusual since he always sound happy everytime we talk over the phone.

"Kinda of, love" he gently replied,

"Is it because of me ba? Am I disturbing you right now?" marahan kong tanong

"No, no, no love, it's not because of you. It's just that.. some asshole went here earlier and started spreading false news." well, mukhang naiinis na naman siya.

"Ganun ba,"

"Hmm," He sofly hum in the other line.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No. Maiinis lang ako everytime i remember the shits he's saying." mukhang iritang irita nga talaga siya sa lalakeng nakausap kanina.

"Just don't stress yourself about it hm," marahan kong sabi, "Anyway, have you eaten your lunch na?" I continued to change the topic.

"Yes, thank you for the lunch love. Masarap." even over the phone I can say that he's smiling.

"Of course it's masarap, ako kaya ang nag luto nyan" I boastfuly said, I even smirk kahit na alam kong hindi niya naman nakikita.

"You? Have you eaten already? Please eat on time ha,"

"Yes boss, I'm done eating before I called you."

"Hm, that's good. Don't overworked yourself, Hera." I can't help but rolled my eyes when he said that.

"Says the workaholic one huh," I teasingly said, "Anyway, I'll be hanging up na, back to work na. Bye, see you later. "

"Uhm, wait love,"

"Hm? May sasabihin ka pa?" I curiously asked.

"U-uhm, nothing, nothing," I curiously raised my brow after hearing him. He's kinda weird right now ah.

"I love you, see you later ah," he ended the call after saying that. I can sense that something is really off here. I can sense that he wanna ask or say something be hesitant to.

The day ended with me being curious about what Terron wanted to say earlier. I don't want to overthink but I'm certain that he wanted to say something eh.

"Hi love," I snapped back to reality when I felt a kiss in my cheek. "You okay? You're too preoccupied to even notice my presence ah."

"I think, I should be the one asking you that." I softly said after reaching his hand to as he lean his body in my table in front of my swivel chair.

"What do you mean?"

"Diba may gusto kang sabihin sa akin kanina?"

"Oh, that,"

"Yeah, That." he looks a bit shocked knowing that I know that he wanted to say something.

"I'm very certain na you want to say something kanina but decided not to. So... what is it? Hmm?"

"I just wanna ask if..." he stopped to look at me who's looking up to him, patoently waiting for him to continue. "I just want to ask love, does our age difference bothers... you?" tanong niya.

Age difference ah, Well, looking at him right now, he kinda look nervous to what me answer would be.

"Does it to you?"

"Of course not! It's just that, maybe"
