Finding My Safe Space

Chapter 16

I couldn't look at him straight after that scene. The thought of being jealous kept on bothering me.

"Are you okay?" JJ asked me when we were about to leave the studio and I just gave him a nod.

"I'll take you home." he insisted. "I was the one who invited you so I should take you home."

"No, it's okay. I have my driver with me naman."

He sighed in defeat. "Babawi nalang ako sayo sa susunod kung gano'n."

"Okay lang talaga. Salamat pala." I smiled at him.

"Sus, walang anuman. Ako nga dapat ang magpasalamat."

He then turned to his cousin after that.

"Ikaw Florence? Hatid na kita."

"Uh, no. Cyd's gonna take me home." she said while smiling saka kumapit sa braso ng gago.

She looked so happy. I sighed and shook my head.

Ano bang nangyayari sa akin?

Am I really jealous?

I shook my head. I need to sort this freaking thoughts.

I didn't bother looking at Crispin's face because I don't want to see his smirk. Simula yata no'ng mag-usap kami kanina ay hindi na nawala ang ngisi niya sa labi. And it's annoying me! Bakit kasi niya pinapagpipilitan na nagseselos ako?

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag no'ng huminto sa tapat ko 'yong SUV namin.

"I'll go now, bye." I said without looking at them saka pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan.

"Tara na po, kuya."

"Ma'am, si Sir..." The door opened again and I saw Crispin standing outside.

"Ingat." he said and gave me a pat on the head. "Pupunta ako sa inyo mamaya."

I remained looking outside kahit nakasara na uli 'yong sasakyan.

Damn him! Why is he like that? Why is he kept on messing with my mind?

Pagkauwi ay agad akong nagshower at nagbihis. And I even find myself choosing a good pambahay.

"What the hell..." I whispered to myself.

I took off the maxi dress I am wearing and instead, I just wore an oversized black shirt and leggings.

"Ma'am nasa baba po si Sir Crispin."

Agad naman akong bumaba dahil baka pumunta pa siya sa kwarto ko at ayaw ko ng gano'n. I just feel uncomfortable about it.

Umirap ako nang makita siya. Hindi man lang nag-abalang magbihis galing sa date nila. Eww.

"Bakit ka nandito?" I asked him.

He laughed. "Attitude nanaman."

"Edi umuwi ka na, attitude ako eh."

"That's the reason why I went here though, I want to see that attitude of yours." he said and he let out a smirk.

What a jerk? Nilalandi niya ba ako pagkatapos niyang makipagdate sa babae niyang artista?

"Flirt." I mumbled before turning my back para makaupo sa sofa na nasa harapan niya.

"What? May sinabi ka?" he asked.

"Oo, meron." I crossed my arms while looking away.

Naiinis ako. Pakiramdam ko he's playing with me. Jerk!

"Umuwi ka na nga. Your face is irritating me." Tumayo ako dahil naalala ko nanaman 'yong ayos nilang dalawa kanina. Ang lapit ha, tapos ano, gusto niya raw ako? Wala naman akong pakialam kung gusto niya nga talaga ako o hindi, dahil hindi ko naman siya gusto, pero naiinis talaga ako sa kanya dahil mukhang pinagtitripan nanaman niya ako.
