She Conceived A Morgan's Child

Chapter IX: Dream?

Chapter IX

•Fabio•

It felt like I was back to who I was six years ago. A total mess which she kept saving from getting more disastrous and I'm not loving it. I hate what's happening to me now.

"Oh what's with the look?" Rosette entered the room without even knocking. Dun ko lang napansin that I just kept staring somewhere else and not doing any job I was supposed to do.

"You seemed so distress, heard from Reuben you've been extremely busying yourself lately," she added.

"Is there a problem?"

"Nothing," I said.

"Am I not a friend now?" She asked and sat on the swivel chair infront of my table.

"Not now Rosette-"

"It seems like you've cut me off. Honey is already suspicious. You haven't contacted her since then," she told me.

Shit. I almost forgot about Honey.

"I was just busy. I'm gonna pay her a visit later-"

"There's no need."

Napalingon ako kay Rosette. Tinitimbang ko kung galit ba sya or hindi but I couldn't read her emotions.

"I have to tell you something Fab, but first you must decide whether paninindigan mong ikaw ang magpapakaama kay Honey. Kaya hindi kita ginugulo," she said. I was about to answer her when she handed me the invitation to Honey's sixth birthday.

"If it's still the same, then you shall attend her party. If it's not, wag na," saad nito.

"Rosette," I called her name.

"I know you are busy Fabio. We understand that. We'll wait until then," she said at tumayo saka akmang aalis. I stood up to and followed her outside.

"Rosette!"

When I reached her hand, to my surprise, her lips suddenly landed on mine. Lalayo sana ako but she grabbed my neck so I frozed in my position. It was too late for me to realize that there still one employee looking at us from her table who didn't go down yet to have her lunch. It took just seconds before she let me go.

"I'll wait for you Fab," she said before leaving me. It's as if my mind didn't minded her because the first thing I did is to look at the same direction where I saw her and now she's already gone.

Rowena already left her pose.

Bumalik nalang ako sa opisina ko. No matter how much I'd like to think about Rosette, I was too occupied by this paper works and I kept on catching myself na natutulala nalang bigla.

Because her reaction reminded me of something that had happened before. It was so unfair... Rosette looked really hurt but I couldn't help thinking of her.

I decided to sleep on the bench, in the science garden of the school. Nung hindi ko namalayan na paggising ko nalang there's already a girl who sat beside me, nakaakbay pa ang isa kong kamay sakanya which I clearly remember I didn't do before I fell asleep. She was taking selfies with me and even tried to kiss me. Although the kiss didn't happened, bago kopa matanggal ang kamay ko Rowena already saw it from the entrance of the garden.

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. She looked so hurt and in despair, because that shit happened two months after my confession. I was thinking did I made her question her worth? My feelings? I'm doomed, I'm doomed for real.
