Clouds Are Getting Heavy

Chapter 7

"Oouchhhh!" I instinctively held my head in extreme pain. Shit! Ouch!

"Damn it! Ouchhh!" Why does my head hurt so much? What happened last night?

"You kept drinking even though you couldn't handle it," said the voice of a man. Who is he? Why is his voice unfamiliar?

Despite the intense pain in my head, I jerked back in bed, suddenly sitting up in utter foolishness! My headache worsened. Napahawak naman ako sa ulo ko. Di na talaga ako iinom!

"Oh, here's some soup and tea. They will help alleviate your hangover," I glanced at the man. Fuck! Who is he? I don't know him! Nasaan ako?

While I was still looking at him, he placed what he was carrying on the table next to the bed. I also assessed the lower part of my body for any discomfort. Since I didn't feel anything, I looked at what I was wearing and realized I was now dressed in pink pajamas. Fuck?! Ginalaw nya ba ako? May nangyari ba samin ng lalaki na to?! Nakita nya ba yung katawan ko!!

"W-what did you do to me?!" I nervously shouted, and he simply looked at me. Nanghihina ako sa maaring isagot nya.

"Don't be dramatic. I didn't do anything to you!" he replied, then he sat down on the sofa beside the bed.

"B-but why-" I didn't finish my sentence when he spoke.

"Yaya changed your clothes and cleaned your body. She also dressed you up," he explained. Nagsasabi ba sya ng totoo o hindi? Maniniwala ba ako?

There was a knock on the door, so he opened it.

"Thank you" sabi nya sa babae tumango lang naman ang babae sa kanya at umalis na agad. She seemed to be older.

Perhaps he noticed that I was staring at them so I quickly averted my gaze. Baka isipin nya na I'm looking at him!

"Did you see that woman? She's the nanny I mentioned, the one who dressed and took care of you last night," why is he angry? Maldito!

"Get up and eat this while it's still warm," he commanded. It was then that I noticed the room was quite spacious. I promptly stood up and approached the sofa.

"Ahmmm by the way, thank you," I muttered softly, unsure if he heard me.

I had just finished half of the soup and tea when he seemed to notice that I was done.

"W-what time is it?" I asked him.

"It's 11:32 in the morning," he said, glancing at his watch.

"Ahhh I should be leaving too, thank you!" I said, quickly getting up and searching for my belongings. When I couldn't find them, I turned to him, and he was just looking at me.

"Oh, umm, where are my bag and phone?" I asked him. He stood up and approached his dresser, and when he opened it, I saw my things neatly placed inside. He handed them to me.

"By the way, what's your name?" I asked him. Nubayan! Pogi sana kaso maldito!

"Eryx Sawyer," he replied succinctly. I nodded at him

"Oh, by the way, where are my clothes? I need to change because, umm, I'll be leaving too."

"You spilled something on the clothes you were wearing last night, so they're dirty. They haven't been washed yet," he said. What now? How am I going to leave like this?

"You can wear that sleepwear, hahatid na din kita sa inyo," he said. Oh no, that's not necessary, it's embarrassing!

"Oh, I can manage to go home alone," I said. Why am I feeling so shy around him?
