His Island

Chapter 10

When I got home I felt free from the thoughts that I've been thinking about for a week. There's no heavy feeling in my heart. I look at the ceiling and there's nothing. I closed my eyes and put my hand above my head. " 

"Those eyes..." I whispered.

It's my first time seeing a man with those emotions in his eyes but I know exactly what it is. I don't want to assume but his gestures are so strange.

I sighed. Don't overthink. Don't assume. I slept and I wake up in the dawn because my head hurts. It's not like the last week it's bearable so I didn't bother to wake up somebody.

When I feel like the pain is fading I tried to sleep again. I wake up late because of what happened. I skip breakfast and it's not healthy. I get up and brush my teeth. I'm looking at myself in the mirror. 

I frowned. I noticed that there's something wrong but I can't figure it out. I keep on looking and I'm stunned.

I lost so much weight. I'm thinner now and my curve is not showing. My shoulder and thighs aren't the same as before. I'm so skinny. I'm still gorgeous but it's now more obvious that I'm sick.

I went to my table where my make-up is and I did my usual natural look. I'm already done but my eyes look so weak. I add more concealer that was enough to cover my weak eyes and curled my lashes. I look at the mirror and nodded. Perfect.

I put myself together and breathed heavily. "It's fine. You still look pretty. You're brave Lyle. " I convince myself and I smiled like I usually do.

He messaged me last night but I didn't reply because I slept already but when I check my phone earlier I read it.

Get ready and dress up nicely. We'll be having a special dinner.

I panicked when I saw his text but instantly run to my closet to choose a nice dress. I'm heading to our gate while I'm shaking. I'm nervous. 

This is my first dinner with him! I never get along with boys that's why I never experience this. I don't know what to do. Well, it's not a date. He didn't say we're having a date! What are you thinking Laliana Eile?

I was near our gate when I saw him walking back and forth. He was wearing a black button-up shirt paired with black jeans and black brogue shoes. He's also wearing accessories and his hair is fixed. Halatang pinaghandaan nya ito.

Hindi sya mapakali pero pagkataas ng ulo nya ay nagtama ang pangingin namin. Tumayo sya ng tuwid at lumapit sakin. Ganon din ako.

Tumayo ako sa tapat nya. Tama lang ang distansya naming dalawa. Nakatingin kami sa isa't isa. He smile sweetly and offered his hand in front of me. I smiled back and put my hands to his. He helps me get to the front seat and closes the door for me. I raised my brow while he is walking to the driver's seat.

Gentleman.

Naninibago ako sa kanya pero natutuwa din. I like this version of him. Para tuloy akong nagiging dalagang pilipina sa kinikilos nya. I don't know why he suddenly act like this but I love it.
