I'm yours, Professor (Quadro Series #2)

Chapter 28

@GII. A pretty girl, deserve pretty a pretty ring on her finger.

She just stared at Gillian recent post on his social, most specifically his Instagram. Seeing this she suddenly remember what she overheard between Calcifer and Kyx conversation. Alam niyang ito ang tinutukoy ng binata. Parang nangati ang kamay niya manampal. She sigh, alam niya na pakulo lang iyon ng binata para matigil ang chismis sa pangloloko nito.

She drop her phone before looking at Calcifer's who's currently cooking in the kitchen. Medyo nababahala siya sa post ni Gillian pero hindi naman siguro nito kaya na gumawa ng ganon kalaking desisyon. After what happen a while ago parang ayaw siyang bitawan ni Calcifer. Kung hindi lang siya nagsabi na nagugutom siya ay hindi na siya siguro nakaalis sa hawak ng binata.

Tumayo siya bago naglakad papunta dito. Calcifer seem to be thinking about something so deep, too deep that he didn't feel her walk toward him. Alam niya may kinalaman ang sinabi niya sa iniisip nito. He's been silent and just kissing her while sitting in the sofa. It bother her but he immediately assure her that he's not mad or anything, may iniisip lang daw ito.

Quietly she hug him from behind, halatang nagulat ang binata sa ginawa niya. She chuckle before kissing his back repeatedly. "You're jumpy."

Calcifer hum before facing her, agad siya nito niyakap bago hinalikan ang noo niya. He took a deep breath while his lips is still in her forehead. He look sad and mad. "Malapit na maluto ang ulam." He look down on her. "Pahinga ka muna doon." Ani nito. She pout at that, gusto niyang manatili doon. He chuckle before pinching her nose softly. "Ayaw pala ni Kennedy ganda. You want my attention?"

Pouting, she nod. Oddly she felt calm even after fighting with her parents. Noon halos hindi siya mapakali, halos hindi nga siya kumain. But now she just feel light-hearted especially in Calcifer's arms. Suddenly everything make sense, her Mom confirming her suspicion. May kung ano sakaniya na sumaya dahil doon. Naalala na niya kung sino si Calcifer.

Kung paano at bakit marami itong alam tungkol sakaniya and the paintings he had in that room. Everything make sense now. Calcifer was always there for her. It was him, she can't believe how she never realize it sooner. Her Mom lie to her, ito ang lalaking ito ang gusto niya makasama noon. Calcifer was never the random man, it's Gillian, he ruined every bit of her life.

"Yes, red." She mutter, pakiramdam niya sasabog ang puso niya. "I want your attention."

She felt him stilled, tumigil din ito sa pag-hinga. She chuckle, she felt like she's hugging a statue. Ilang segundo din bago matauhan si Calcifer at binigyan distansya ang katawan nilang dalawa. He look shock but at the same time happy. Gone the blue Calcifer she saw a while ago, kita niya din na medyo naluluha ito.

Now he look like a little kid who's been given the surprise he always wanted. It gives her serotonin. Calcifer being happy is the only thing she want to see. She plan to be quiet about it for a while but seeing him being happy and excited. She's glad she said it. Pakiramdam niya nakahinga na siya ng maluwag.

"You remember — " He chuckle unbelievable as a wide smile spread on his lip. "You remember me?!" Tumatalon -talon pa ito habang hawak ang kamay niya. She chuckle lively. He look funny but cute. "You finally did! Oh shit! I know your gonna realize it sooner! Yes!"

She chuckle but her tears were falling from her eyes. "Yes, I realized everything now." Hinawakan niya ang mukha nito, wiping his tears. "Iyon ang pinunta ko sa bahay. I ask them about you, us." She kiss his lips. "I'm sorry. I had no way to know if it was you. Sinunog nila lahat ng painting at sculpture ko tungkol sayo noon."
