Glimpse Of Us

CHAPTER 33

Rylie's POV

I am here inside her office, waiting for her to finish her job bago kami makauwi. Kanina pa ko dito, actually. Cause as soon as I finished with my class, dito agad ako dumiretso.

Nakaupo ako ngayon sa katapat nya, habang tutok naman sya sa kanyang laptop.

Ever since, I always notice how workaholic she is. According kasi sa kanya, ayaw nyang may naiiwan na trabaho. So that, for the next day, iba naman ang gagawin nya.

"It's already 7:30, Ma'am. Hindi pa po ba kayo nagugutom?" Baka kasi nagugutom na din sya.

"I'll eat after I'm finished with this." She replied, not looking at me.

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. As much as I want her to take a rest first, patuloy nya lang ipagpipilitan ang gusto nya. .

While waiting, I decided to continue chatting with Professor Alvarez. Sya kasi ang napagtatanungan ko regarding her likes and dislikes.

7:30 pm

Her favorite flowers?
If I'm not mistaken,
she's always fascinated
with Aster.

Alright, Aster it is.

Thank you again, Ma'am.

Sure, no problem.
Alam mo namang boto
ako sayo.

Just don't try hurting
that bitch.

Ako talaga magbabaon
sayo sa lupa, Miss Monteverde.

Napatawa ko ng mahina pagkabasa ng message nya.

I can't and will never do that.

I was about to reply, when I feel a bit of a soft, yet hard thing struck the side of my head.

"Oww, what was that for?" Inda ko sabay himas doon sa parteng natamaan. Pinulot ko naman yung bagay, and found out that it was a rubber eraser.

"I've been calling your name five times already."

I scratch my nape because of how cold she said that. "Sorry, bakit nyo po pala ko tinatawag?"

She rolled her eyes first before responding. "I'm ordering food. What do you want?"

"Ikaw" I answered without thinking.

Mukha syang natigilan dahil agad syang napaangat ng tingin sakin. She looks so serious right now.

"Are you kidding me, Miss Monteverde?" Her tone is cold again, making me realize what I just blurted out.

I can feel my cheeks heat up because of that. Fuck, bakit ba walang preno tong bibig ko minsan?

I cleared my throat then sheepishly smile at her. "S-Sorry, w-what I meant was, i-ikaw? Kung a-ano yung sayo, yun na lang d-din sakin." Pagrarason ko na lang. "Are you finished already?"

In the end, I tried to change the conversation just to save me from the embarrassment.

"Yeah" She answered nodding.
