365 Days Contract [EDITING]

Chapter 16

"I'm sorry I didn't get to read your message. I was in a meeting." panimula ni Calen.

"It's fine. Nandito naman na ako. Besides, reply me or not, pupunta pa rin ako dito."

"Did Terong brought you here?" Calen asked me.

Napatikom ako ng bibig bago dahan-dahang umiling.

"What?! Sana nagpahatid ka!" Calen jolted. "What if something happened to you?!"

"Calen, calm down! I'm fine!"

"You're pregnant, Lav!" Calen was frustrated.

"So? I can manage myself, Calen. I'm not that fragile! I know how to commute! I've been doing that since high school!" Inirapan ko si Calen.

Calen sighed as if he had lost all his string of patience. "Lav, listen to me this time, please." mariing sabi niya sa akin.

"Calen, I'm really fine. Kita mong nakakandong pa ako sa'yo nang buong-buo. Kinakausap mo pa nga ako."

Calen sighed again and nodded his head at me. I knew from that moment that I had won the argument.

"Just make sure to ask the drivers if you need a ride next time. Okay?" Calen looked at me.

I nodded my head. "Fine,"

Calen became busy again when George entered his office. Napatayo ako kaagad sa hita ni Calen nang makita kami ni George na ganito ang posisyon. Dedma lang naman siya at tuloy sa trabaho.

Si Calen na ang uminom ng kapeng tinimpla ko kanina. He said it was too sweet, but he still drank it all.

"Calen, can you lift your head a little, please."

Abala si Calen sa pagtitipa sa kaniyang laptop. Nandito rin si George at nag-u-update kay Calen. They are busy talking and typing on their laptops. Wala naman akong maintindihan doon.

"It hurts," Calen groaned.

"I'm sorry. Gumagalaw ka kasi. Kasalanan mo rin! Stay still,"

I was tying up Calen's hair. He's not wearing any gel today, so it's easy to style his hair. Wala akong magawa kaya pinag-trip-an ko ang buhok niya.

"I'm done!" I said after I tied up his hair on the center.

Nilingon ko siya at seryoso pa rin siyang nag-ty-type sa kaniyang laptop. Yumuko ako at dinungaw ko ang mukha niya. I hold my laugh while looking at him. He looks way younger now!

"What? Tsk," Calen shook his head.

"You look..." Napahinto ako sa pagsasalita nang sulyapan niya ako. He looks pissed. "...cute," mahinang bulong ko.

Tumahimik si Calen at hindi na naman nagsalita. He looks way more serious than how already he is. Tinikom ko na lang ang bibig ko at lumapit kay George na nakaupo sa harapan niya.

"Hey," I whispered.

Halos mapatalon siya sa gulat. "What?" Kabado niyang tanong at nilingon ko si Calen sa harapan niya.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" sabi ko.

Napaangat ng tingin si Calen at tiningnan kaming dalawa. Napahinto siya sa pagtitipa at nakakunot ang noo niya. I almost laughed, looking at him. His hairstyle makes him look funny.

"No, I'm busy," Mabilis na tanggi ni George at binalik ang atensiyon sa pagtitipa.

"Ang sungit mo naman, George." Sabi ko.

I need to get George's IG account. Sana naman mayroon. Pero mukhang busy pa siya. Mamaya ko na lang siya kakausapin kapag tapos na siya sa ginagawa niya.
