The Prowess Inside - COMPLETED

Chapter 16: Sleep Tight

" DID NOT I told everyone to get out?" Iyon agad ang  pinangbungad sa akin ni Datu Pula pagkatapos na pagkatapos niyang lumabas sa kanyang walk in closet. He is now wearing a pair of a dark red pajama that suits well with his tan complexion and crimson red hair. Mas mabuti rin iyon tingnan kay sa naman kanina na hindi ko lubos masipat ang kanyang kabuoan sapagkat towel lang ang nakatapis sa kanyang balakang. Bumuntong-hininga ako ng mariin, now that I remembered it, why didn't he used a freaking bathrobe?

" For you to feel uncomfortable and go out," malamig na sagot nito, tiyak na binabasa niya na naman ang isip ko. Seriously? I looked at him flatly before I throw the thermometer on his bed.

" Check your temperature first," ani ko habang nakatingin sa walang buhay niyang mata, but afterwards his emotionless eyes turned into a mischievous look. He walked towards the other side of the bed where I am standing. Umuklo siya sa kama para maabot ang thermometer na inihagis ko but instead of putting it on his mouth or on his underarm to check if his heat is at normal state, he stretched his right arm towards me to reach for my hand and before I realized it, he slammed my body against his. His familiar minty fragrance is slowly embracing me.

Yumuko siya para makapang-abot ang aming mga mukha at dahil doon ay ramdam na ramdam ko at amoy na amoy  ang kanyang mainit ngunit mabangong hininga, lalong-lalo na't sensitibo ang aking pandama. The smirk he gave me earlier became more sinister as he looked at me. There is no more eligible thoughts coming inside my mind and it seems like the battle within my system became more bloody, that caused my cheeks to burn and to become red.

" You said earlier that your senses are more sharper than anyone else, right?" He asked seriously this time and I just nodded in response sapagkat hindi na ako maka-hagilap pa ng mga salitang maaari kong ibato sakanya.

I just cameback in my senses when I heard a cracking sound as if there is something that was broken and when I looked down, I saw how did the broken instrument bounce on the wooden floor before it completely fall.

" Crap what did you do!?" Pagalit na tanong ko sakanya. Is he out of his mind? Paano kung nasugatan siya?

The device may not be made of glass but the fact that it's a digital thermometer, he should have known na maaari siyang masugatan ng electrical components noon. Okay! Crap I'm over reacting here but still he got wounds on his back na hindi pa nalalapatan ng lunas tas magsusugat nanaman siya ng sarili!?

" Your hand, show me your hand," I told him. I know he can feel my strictness but his stubborn side began and instead of giving me his hand, he just smirked as he speak.

" You're that concern, huh!?" He asked, looking straight to my honey brown eyes at dahil doon ay mas nagkalapit pa ang mukha namin. Bumuntong-hininga ako atsaka umatras ng isang hakbang mula sakanya. Even though my face is as red as American tomatoes, I still maintained my straight look, I won't give him the satisfaction for making me uncomfortable, I swear!

Ako na ang kumuha ng kanyang kamay atsaka tiningnan iyon ng masinsinan. I sighed heavily when I saw a scratch on his palm, maybe the broken thing slid before falling. Hayst! Pinitik ko ang ilong niya and now it's his turn to give me deadly glares.

" You! Weird miss, you knew that I have wounds on my back tas pipitikin mo pa ang ilong ko," inis na singhal niya sa akin kaya inis ko rin siyang tiningnan.

" You knew that you have wounds tas hindi ka umuwi agad?" Giit ko bago pitikin ulit ang ilong niya. This time hindi na namumula ang pisngi ko ng dahil sa distansya naming dalawa kundi dahil sa inis na kanina pa gustong lumukob sa aking sistema.

" I have my reasons," he shrugged at me but I can still sense his bitterness in it.

" Tsh fine sorry, buti di ka namatay ng dahil sa blood loss ano!? " I told him with my sarcasm and glares pero hindi na kasing talim kanina.
