She maintained a straight face as she walked into her room, ignoring Damon's intense gaze, which seemed to challenge her to explain herself. While preparing her bath, she heard him enter. Even without words, it was clear he expected an explanation.
"I didn't know you were so close to Nate," he commented, causing her to roll her eyes.
She knew he wouldn't let it slide. Damon was truly a controlling freak.
"Tamarah," he warned. Pinagsarhan nya ito ng pinto ng banyo. Bahala itong mag antay.
Nagtagal sya ng halos isang oras din sa banyo. To her surprise, he is still in her room, but this time was asleep on her bed, leaning against the headboard with his arms crossed.
What's going on with him? She approached him to wake him, ut as she took in his exhausted appearance, she decided to let him rest.
He looked worn out, medyo scruffy na din ang beard nito. Hinaplos nya ang pisngi nito, agad naman itong nagmulat. "Hey baby." he mumbled, hinuli nito ang kamay nya at hinalikan saka muling pumikit. Which is better dahil ramdam nya ang biglaang pag-init ng mukha nya sa itinawag nito sa kanya.
"Hey wake up."binawi nya ang kamay at tinapik ito sa pisngi. Noon lang ito tuluyang nagising. Hinilot nito ang bridge ng matangos na ilong nito.
"You alright?" nag aalalang tanong nya dito. " Kumain ka na?" baka inantay na naman sya nito, kumain na sila ni Nate kanina bago umuwi. Tumango lang din uli ito.
Pumunta syang muli ng banyo para kumuha ng advil sa medicine cabinet. Inabot nya iyon dito pati ang tubig na nasa night stand.
SHer breath caught when he pulled her into a hug. They had never been this intimate, and she could feel his heart beating against hers. He buried his face in her neck.
"Hey, what are we doing" she murmured, she can feel his breathe tickling her neck.
"I've missed you," he said, sniffing her scent. "I've dreamed of holding you this close. It feels great, baby." Her heart raced even more. What is he saying? Is he drunk?
"You okay?" hinaplos nya ang likod ng ulo nito. Bumuntong hininga lang ito pero hindi umimik, mas hinigpitan lang nito ang yakap sa kanya. And she liked it. The feeling was new and strangely comforting.
He slept in her room that night, no talking and other things, he just hold her close to sleep.
The next morning, she woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed. She smiled as she felt Damon's arms around her. He was still sleeping peacefully. Mukhang naramdaman nito ang paninitig nya dahil nagmulat na ito ng mata, he smiled at her when their eyes met.
"Good morning, Tamarah."
"Good morning. It's already 7 a.m." She informed him, worried about their nosy housekeepers. Kapag nalaman ng mga ito na doon natulog ang binata ay pag uusapan na naman sila nito panigurado.
"Does it matter?"
"Yes, they'll gossip about us."
"You don't like it?"
"It's not true—"
"It is now. There's something between us," he said, gently caressing her cheek. He kissed her on the top of her head before getting up. He extended his hand to her. "Come on. Let's go downstairs; I'm hungry."
"Don't tell me you didn't eat yesterday; I asked you."
"You know I always want to eat with you, but you chose to dine with Nate" may pagtatampo sa himig nito. Yumakap sya sa braso nito.
