Rylie's POV

"Why bother sleeping there, when you can sleep on the same bed with me?"

"P-Pardon, Ma'am?" Did I hear her right? Okay lang sa kanyang tabi kaming matutulog?

She shrugs with my question. "What difference does it make? We already share the same bed when you were drunk." Balewala nya lang na sagot.

Wait! Is she really being serious right now? Based on her facial expression, muk iiha naman syang nasa huwisyo at hindi naman nakainom.

Does she have a fever?

Bago ko pa man yun matanong ay nagsalita na ulit sya. "So, do you want to lay down first?" She ask then remove her coat while looking directly at me.

I feel my cheeks heating up as I feel my knees unbuckle a little because of the way she looks at me. Sheez! Ayan na naman. Tingin nya palang, natutuliro na naman agad ako.

"I am asking you a question, Miss Monteverde."

Dammit! Is she supposed to sound seductive in my ears? Nagtatanong lang naman sya, eh. "Uhm.. I, uhh.."

Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ng mapansin ang mapaglarong ngisi sa kanyang labi habang pailing iling pa.

"Relax, Miss Monteverde. I'm just funning with you." Saka sya lumayo ng konti sakin. "You seemed to be tense since earlier that's why I try to lighten up the atmosphere."

Lighten the atmosphere?

'Oh, Professor Carlton. You just seem to heated the atmosphere up with what you did.'

"Ano pong gagawin nyo dito, Ma'am?" I ask when we reach her kitchen.

The walls and cabinets are all in white, while the marbled countertop are in the color of grey.   The hardwood floor on the other hand is grey also, but lighter. There are also some minimalist paintings of some fruits here.

I can't help but to get mesmerized by those again. Ang ganda kasi kahit simple lang.

"What do you think?" Based on her tone, para bang sinasabi nya na ang tanga ko.

Aba, malay ko ba kung may kukunin lang sya dito?

But instead of asking her that, the imaginary lightbulb beam inside my head again. I smirk before letting out a chuckle. "Kakanta po?" Pamimilosopo ko, which earned a glare from her.

"Why don't you wait at the dining room? You'll just be a distraction here."

Nawala naman yung ngisi ko dahil sa sinabi nya. "I don't want to wait there. I promise, I'll behave and shut my mouth." I even raise my left hand while saying that.

Why left? Cause I don't think I'll be in my best behaviour whenever I'm with her.

"No. Get out." Saka nya ulit ako tinalikuran.

I pout before standing up and leave her kitchen. Tsk! Ang damot ni Ma'am. Para manonood lang, eh.

While waiting, I decided to scroll on Twitter. Most of them are tweets from April and Ave. Nothing unusual. Sinisiraan lang naman nila yung isa't isa, or sometimes, dito nila inilalabas lahat ng mga hinanakit nila.
