Marry Me, Professor (Complete)

MMP-24

FREEN's POV

"Mainit?" Arya ask me. As much as I want to nod and tell her that it's freakingly hot, I can't.

"I'm fine," I trailed off. Nagdududa pa itong tumingin sa'kin but eventually nod her head and look at those people happily eating.

This is my first time, actually. First time attending this kind of party, nakakapanibago, nevertheless, it still looks fun. I might ask Rhae to arrange a party like this.

"Uy, Arya. Ano na? Hindi kayo kakain?" Elle came from nowhere. Tumingin sa'kin si Arya bago bumulong.

"Malinis yung pagkain, isa ako sa nagluto 'e." My lips rose for a smile.

"I know," contention filled her feature.

"Kakain na kami, Elle. Ako ng bahala kay prof sung-prof salvatore." Arya subconsciously put her hand on one of my thigh. Wala akong nagawa kung hindi ang hawakan ang kamay nito saka napalunok.

Memories from that night filled my thoughts.

Damn it, Freen. Ngayon pa talaga? C'mon, come to your senses. Shit.

"Prof, anong gusto mong kainin?" She held my hand and motion me to stand, so I did.

"You," I whisper. Arya beautifully tilt her head.

"Ha?"

"You choose," I need to play it safe, hindi tama itong mga naiisip ko.

"Sige, sasama ka ba sa'kin or hihintayin mo na lang ako dito-"

"I will come with you," not gonna stay her. I mean-they look harmless but still, I wanted to come with her. See how she will take good care of me.

I was caught of guard when she kneel down, took my off my high heels and replace it with her slippers.

"What are you doing?" I authoritatively ask.

Tuminingala si Arya saka ngumiti.

"The kitchen isn't a safe place to wear such heels. Dapat naka flats ka."

"How about yours?" Annoyingly, she just shrugged and pull me towards another room. I stared for a while before realizing that I stared too much.

Kung hindi lang ako natapilok.

"Ano ba yan, prof. Sabi sa'yon lupa lang aapakan natin, hindi pa pantay. Umayos ka kasi."

I chuckled.

"I will,"

She made me sit, on a long wooden chair. May mga kaharap din kami na lantaran ang pagtitig sa'kin. I look up to Arya and tighten my grasp unto her hand.

I stared at her to conveyed a plea. But still, she held my hand and remove it on hers.

"Kukuha lang ako ng plato-"

"But.." I hesitated. Damn it. At the end, I still nod and followed her with my stares.

Bumalik naman agad ito dala ang dalawang plato.

"Here, anong gusto mo?" Tiningnan ko kung anong mga pagkain ang familiar sa'kin. I gulp upon seeing the spaghetti.

Iyon lang.

I pointed it to her, Arya, being so attentive today. She put some on my plate, and on her plate.

"Ano pa?" I shook my head.

I saw a little cupcakes, but I bet, it's not even a cupcake. There's no icing. And they're...nude. Like, literally nude because apparently, there's no paper in it to cover the lower part of the cupcakes.
