How To Have You (Professors Series #1.)

Chapter 11

"Fuck, my head hurts."

I slightly woke up feeling my head throbbing, napaupo agad ako nang maalala ko ang mga pangyayari kagabi, the moment when I said all of those things kay Cortez, I remember it all.

"Nakakahiya ka Avery, bakit mo naman ginawa 'yon?" I whispered to myself.

It was only seven o'clock when I woke up at nine o'clock pa naman ang pasok ko, it's thursday at simula na ng event day ng CHU kaya hindi rin ako mag tuturo dahil walang mga klase. I went out from my room, dumiretso ako sa sala at hinanap agad ng mata ko kung nasan si Samantha.

"Sam?" I called out.

"Boo! Goodmorning!"

"ay! anak ng pota-"

I held my chest nang humarap ako sa nang gulat sa'kin sa likod and I saw Cortez! Agad ko siyang pinaningkitan ng mata, am I really seeing her?

"No cussing, ma'am." Natatawang sagot niya.

"Are you real?"

Napatanong ako, she's smiling at me. There was something with that smile that's making me feel uncomfortable, wait—First of all, anong ginagawa niya dito? And second, what am I even saying?

"Yes, ma'am?"

Kumunot ang noo niya habang hinahawakan ang mukha niya, checking if she was real. Lumapit ako sakanya ng bahagya bago ko pisilin ang braso niya, kinurot ko 'yon ng bahagya.

"Ano pong ginagawa niyo?"

"You're really here, anong ginagawa mo sa condo ko?!" Sigaw ko sakanya at hinampas ko ang braso niya 'nung natauhan ako. "You're invading my privacy, paano ka nakapasok dito?!"

"Aray! Bakit ka po ba nang hahampas, ma'am?" Tanong naman nito sa'kin at hinawakan ang braso niyang pinalo ko ng ilang beses.

"Why are you here?"

"Hindi niyo po tanda? Last night you begged me to not leave you, kaya dito ako natulog."

As soon as I heard it my eyes widen, what the hell?! I didn't beg for her to stay here bakit ko naman 'yon gagawin! I don't remember anything like that.

"I'm just kidding, ma'am. I could read your face." She said, nakangisi ngayon. "Syempre, joke lang."

"I hate you!" Sigaw ko sakanya, I walked back to my room and I slammed my door shut. Asshole.

It's been thirty minutes nang muli 'kong narinig ang boses niya, kumatok siya sa pintuan ko which made me open it even though I'm still annoyed of her.

"Ma'am, kain na po tayo."

Lumabas ako at sumunod sakanya, I went straight to the kitchen pero pinaupo niya ako at sinabing siya na ang bahala sa'kin. Nilapag niya ang pagkain sa lamesa, merong spam, bacon, omelette, at butter toast, may gastas at orange juice rin. Maybe she looked around my kitchen already, otherwise hindi siya makakapagluto.

"Did you cooked this?" I asked.

"Opo." Sagot niya sa'kin at pinaglagay ako ng pagkain sa plato, she put rice and some omelette on my plate. "Uh, I didn't know kung kumakain po ba kayo ng rice sa umaga... so I made other options." Turo niya sa iba pang pagkain, specifically on the butter toast.

"I don't wanna eat that, baka may gayuma pa 'yan." I crossed my arms at diretso ko siyang tinignan.

"Walang gayuma 'to ma'am, I don't need that anyways. My face's already enough, kaya bakit ko pa po kayo gagayumahin?" Mayabang na sagot niya at nginisian na naman ako.
