Ravaged Soul (Demetriou Legacy #2)

Chapter 6

Ravaged Soul
Kabanata 6: Convo

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the table. I feel so sleepy. It's past 2am and I'm still here finishing my report. Kronus went back to Greece a week ago and since then I got really busy. I was expecting I would be, of course but dear, I just wanna sleep.

I haven't told Paxton and Phyllis what happened in my little get away with Kronus because kahit sila ay busy rin talaga, we only text even though we all live in the same building. We haven't had the chance to catch up personally because of our schedules and I simply cannot just tell them the news over text, ayoko ng ganon because I really wanna see the look on their faces.

I sighed and went back to what I was doing even though I want to just lay down and sleep. Huling tatlong linggo nalang at tapos na ang semester na ito. I can squeeze a week or two vacation back home and hopefully makasingit ng tatlong araw para naman sa birthday ni Papou. We don't really like missing it kaya kahit gaano ka-busy at gaano ka-saglit ay talagang nagpupunta kami.

It was almost 5 am when I finished doing my school work. Thank God at makakatulog na ako kahit isa o dalawang oras lang. My class will start at 10 am so I could sleep 'til probably around 8. Pabagsak akong nahiga sa kama ko ng makapasok ako sa kwarto and I immediately fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of my phone, it was ringing. Inabot ko iyon at nakitang si Kronus ang caller, hiniga ko ulit ang ulo at sinagot iyon.

"Babe," I whispered.

"Good morning, babe! You're still in bed? I thought you have classes today."

Humikab ako, "I do. Just taking a quick nap before I get ready. Why'd you call?"

"Nothing, just wanna check up on you. We haven't really been talking much for the past few days."

I nodded, nakapikit pa rin at humihikab, "I know. We're both very busy but at least I'll go home in a few weeks."

"Yes, I will see you soon. Alright babe, I won't take too much of your time. C'mon, get up let's get ready," he said in a very lively tone.

I sighed and looked at the time on my bedside table, 7:30.

"Alright, I'll get ready. Hang up now, I love you."

"I love you too, talk to you later."

Bumangon ako at nagsimula ng mag-handa. I was making my coffee at the kitchen when my doorbell rang. I went to the door and looked at the peephole. It's Phyllis. Binuksan ko iyon at bumungad ang busangot niyang mukha, she's all dressed up too.

Pumasok siya ng diretso, "Oh my gosh, it's been so long since I went here. Napaka-busy naman kasi at hindi na ako natutuwa. My schoolworks are making me crazy it's like hindi natatapos! Tapos ito pang si Ted sumasabay! Kung hindi naman ako busy ay pupuntahan ko naman siya or he could come to me but I am tapos he can't even understand! Nakakainis!" Diretso niyang sabi at umupo sa stool chair. Nilapag niya doon ang hawak niyang wine at box.

Kinuha ko naman ang kapeng ginawa ko bago lumapit sa kanya at umupo rin doon. She opened the box and it was all cheese, fruits, biscuits and nuts.

"Get me some wine glass," she even gestured her hand like she was shooing me.

I rolled my eyes and stood up to get her a wine glass, nakakunot noo kong inabot iyon sa kanya, "Phylls, you're aware that it's just 8 am right?"

She nodded, "Why?"

"It's 8 am and you're already drinking, don't you have class?"

She looked at me and raised her brows, "No, I don't and Gaia, every hour is wine hour and who cares if I—" naputol ang sasabihin niya ng makita ang daliri kong may singsing, "You fucking bitch!" Lumapit siya sa akin at hinablot ang kamay ko, she looked at the ring, "That douche proposed and you didn't even tell me?"
