Trophy of the Sunsets (Tonjuarez Series II)

TOTS 50

Chapter 50

Not in a usual routine, I woke up in a different time again. These past few days, sirang-sira ang body clock ko at nagigising ako sa hindi pare-parehong oras.

Pero ngayong araw, para na akong bumalik na normal pero may mali pa rin. I slightly opened my eyes to welcome the ray of light, coming from the little window of the room. Based on the sunlight, I know it's still morning. So I woke up at my usual pace, but still felt different. Because it's cold. Or maybe because it's ber months already. Lumingon ako sa tabi ko, and Wyatt was not by my side.

After a few minutes of silence I decided to get out of bed. I'm trying to find my sleepers when the door opens. I didn't even have to check who opened it so I just continued finding my sleepers because it's cold.

I bent down to look for it under the bed frame, napangiwi ako dahil madilim at wala akong makita. Tatayo na sana ako nang maayos nang muntik akong mapasigaw, dahil sa isang palad na dumapo sa hita ko.

I heard the bed move. I turned to him who was smiling lightly sitting on our bed, just inches away from me. The heat of his palm, sent warmth to my cold body. That's how I realized how cold my skin was, and I am starting to shiver. I should've turned off the aircon earlier.

"Wyatt!" tawag ko sa kanya dahil sa gulat. Hindi man lang nagsasalita!

"Mornin," he greeted sweetly, ignoring my tone.

"M-Morning... I'm just looking for my sleepers." sagot ko at nagpatuloy na sa paghahanap. Binitawan naman niya ako para matuloy ko ang ginagawa.

He was just sitting on the bed watching me. Hindi ba busy 'to? Ang aga pero parang ang dami pang time, para panoorin akong maghanap ng tsinelas.

I found it under the carpet. Hinila ko iyon kasama iyong isa. Paano 'to napunta rito? Grabe naman! I stood up straight so I could wear it, when memories flashed through my mind from last night. I froze with my movements, and my face was covered in heat and redness.

"Hey, are you okay?" tawag sa akin ni Wyatt, dahil bigla akong hindi gumalaw. Marahan akong tumango sa kanya bago lumapit.

"O-Oo... inaantok lang." palusot ko.

He grabbed my hands and pulled me closer to him. My hands are placed on his shoulders while I am standing between his thighs. He angled his head to look at me, as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I am serious about last night. Be careful when you're outside Eanah." the tone of his voice suddenly turned serious. His stares were still deep and it's making my insides churn.

Tumango ako na parang bata. "A-Alam ko, sorry na nga.."

The side of his lips rose until it turned into a small smile. Kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya, ano ba ang nakakatawa sa pagsabi ng 'sorry?' Kagabi niya ba ako pinagtatawanan.

"You're making fun of me." I concluded coldly.

He pouted his lips to suppress it from smiling, but it irritates me more. Pang asar naman!

"No." he held me closer. "I just find it cute. Tropa mo ako? Bakit ganyan ka mag sorry?" tinaasan niya ako ng kilay habang nangingisi.

Napa awang ang labi ko. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto ang ibig niyang sabihin! Was it wrong? Or do I say it wrong? Maybe I am having a struggle with our transition and friends to couple?

"B-Bakit? Paano ba dapat?" tanong ko dahil wala akong ideya.

Umiling ito at handa na akong pakawalan, ngunit hindi ako umalis sa kinatatayuan at hindi siya binitawan. Sinundan ko ang mukha nito, habang nagtatanong.
