How To Have You (Professors Series #1.)

Chapter 9

"I'll get going, ma'am."

Napatingin ako kay Cortez ng magsalita siya habang naglalakad pa tungo sa pinto, when we finished eating ay nag prisinta siya na ang maglilinis ng pinag-kainan namin kaya hinayaan ko siya.

"Oh, you're leaving already?"

We both look at Samantha, she was sitting on the living room floor at naka-bukas ang laptop niya sa harapan niya. Mukhang nagtratrabaho.

"Ah. Oo Sam, my mommy's looking for me na." Sagot niya, bahagya pa siyang ngumiti. "Thank you for welcoming me here."

"Okay. Take care Amara, thank you for the food too!" Samantha waved her hand slightly.

"You're welcome, Sam." She smiled.

"I'll just take her to her car, I'll be right back."

When we entered the elevator, pinindot ko ang ground floor before getting back on my position.

"Thank you for the food, Cortez." I contend.

"You're welcome po."

Hindi na ako umimik, we were both silent. Nakatingin lamang ako sa elevator number, why is it so slow? It's making me feel uncomfortable inside here.

"Miss Avery."

"What?" I didn't gave her a look.

"I'm sorry." She said which caught my attention. "Sorry for annoying you and kissing... you, I didn't want it that way and I don't want you to hate me, ma'am."

Did she regret kissing me? Is that why she's saying sorry sakin ngayon? Unbelievable.

"I hate you for doing that Cortez." Sagot ko at mukhang nagulat siya sa biglaang sagot ko. "I hope it never happens again."

"I'm so sorry, ma'am." Umiwas siya ng tingin.

"Also, don't bribe me with treats and things, that won't work para hindi ako magalit sayo."

She looked at me bago siya nagsalita. "I am not bribing you with anything, ma'am."

"Then why are you giving me things palagi?" Tanong ko. "You're doing stuffs that I find weird too. A normal student wouldn't do that."

"Hm. Gusto ko lang?" Muling tugon niya.

"You know what Cortez? Let's get this straight, I know you're very popular, you're intelligent, pretty and mabait ka din, kahit sa talent ay mayroon ka. In fact you're the woman that everyone would want, seriously..." I paused for a bit at tiningnan ko siya. "But I'm an exception to that everyone. Hindi ako kagaya ng ibang babaeng patay na patay sayo."

She raised her brows because of what I said, kagat kagat niya din ang pang ibabang labi niya at diretso siyang nakatingin sa'kin, waiting for my next words.

"I'm saying this straight to the point because I don't like you, Cortez. I would never like you, we are both women." There, I said it. "It's not right, It's never right in the eyes of God or even in the eyes of the people who would see you being like this with me, lalo na sa isang kagaya ko. There's nothing special about me, kaya tigilan mo na ko."
