The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 20 - Clash

Author's note:

Hi!
You're amazing<3
Can u smile for me?

Colet's POV:

I was awakened by a ticklish feeling on my neck. It felt like something windy was blowing my neck.

I opened my eyes to see who's the culprit, and it was my boss. She was sleeping peacefully so close beside me.

Sa height namin, mas matangkad siya sa akin ng ilang inch. Pero ngayon, mas maliit siya. Her face was facing my neck, I can feel how she breathes kaya ito ang dahilan ng paggising ko.

I didn't move even a bit because I'm afraid I might wake her up. I wanna feel how close we are. Her left hand and left foot were hugging me, my shoulder was her pillow.

Is this even right? I want what's happening, but at the same time, it also feels wrong.

Isinantabi ko nalang ang mga iniisip ko at binigyang atensyon ang kasama. This is the first time I woke up na hindi nilu-look forward ang trabaho o problema. It's soft, warm and carefree.

For almost half an hour, my muscles felt numb, I didn't dare to move to not wake her.....But suddenly, I felt her move.

"Good morning, Sleepyhead." I softly said.

Jhoanna: "Hmm. Good morning. Time?" She said in her hoarse voice.

"6am, Miss ma'am." She didn't break the hug and insisted on hugging me tighter.

Jhoanna: "It's still early. Antok pa ko." What are you doing to me, Jho? My heart....

Tok tok tok *door opens

I only see the half of the door since nakahiga ako at hindi ko magalaw ang buong katawan ko dahil sa aking katabi.

The door was opened by a little hand, holding the door knob. I saw how her bright smile turned into a frown when she entered my room.

Jasmine: "Good morning, Ma!" She greeted and made her way on my side to hug and kiss me.

"Good morning baby Jas ko! Greet your ate Jho din." I said but she just looked at my boss blankly for a second before greeting her.

Jasmine: "Good morning." Malamig na sambit nito.

Jhoanna: "Morning..." She said at hindi pa rin humihiwalay sa pagkakayakap sa akin. I saw how the kid was jealous of Jho.

Jasmine is the type of kid na igagatekeep ka talaga lalo na sa mga bagong makikilala niya na pumupunta rito sa bahay. Kwento rin ni Mama na ganito rin siya kay Gwen noong unang punta nito sa bahay.

Ayaw niyang may bago akong kasama. At mas lalong ayaw niya na may yumayakap sa aking hindi niya masyadong kilala. Alam ko na ang galawan ng batang toh.

Well, I've been noticing her behavior since yesterday. I knew she'd be upset, so I quickly reassured her. She's jealous of Jhoanna. From how I cared for Jho during dinner to seeing our current situation, it's obvious she's feeling neglected. This calls for some serious appeasing.

Jasmine: "Mama, can we play po with my chichi?" She said in her cute tiny voice. Chichi is the name of her stuffed toy na tweety bird.

But Jhoanna tightened the hug, at alam kong nakita iyon ni Jas dahil sobrang obvious ng paggalaw ni Jho at lalo pa itong nagsumiksik sa leeg ko. Mukhang antok pa nga, sabi niya kanina tutulog pa siya eh.

Bakit ganito? Ako yung naiipit? Bakit kasi ang lapit ko sa mga masusungit? Hays.

"Baby, can we play later nalang po with your Chichi? It's too early pa po, and I'm sleepy pa kasi eh, and also your ate Jho is sleeping din. Tabi ka nalang kay Mama." Pagsisinungaling ko. Huhu, sorry baby. I'm just doing my best to not make the two of you mad.
