Between Textbook and Temptation (Intersex) ON HOLD!!!

CHAPTER 26

Prof. Avengoza's POV

From my conversation with Claire last time she didn't directly say that she likes Callen but I already got a hint that she likes the latter.

And what did I also tell myself last time? I have this feeling of keeping Callen away from my cousin.

But, in a 180-degree turn, everything suddenly changed for me. I just found out she's having a lunch date with another girl. All of those actions she showed went blank for me in a snap.

Ginawa pa nilang date venue ang unibersidad na pinapasukan nila.

Am I overacting and didn't even let Callen explain? I just don't want to deal again in a situation where my mental and emotional health would compromise.

I have to get back to my senses and put an end to whatever we have been doing for the past weeks.

Even if it's contrary to what I really feel.

Right now she's in front of me bringing some stuff as she says for a peace offering.

"...there's no chance I will ever like you," I said coldly looking away from those eyes that were staring at me in sadness.

Callen went here to make things harder for me.

"You should leave by now, Callen. Bago ka pa maabutan nila dad." It's already 6pm and it's getting dark, ngayon pa lang uuwi sila dad galing sa personal nilang mga lakad.

I even forgot to wear a bra because I was just sleeping the whole day. I didn't bothered to open all of Callen's messages, nasagot ko lang tawag niya dahil akala ko si dad ang tumatawag.

"I do like you, miss."

"...."

"..ah mali, mahal na kita."

As she stood right in front of me her words..especially the last three felt like they hung in the air like an unexpected melody. I feel thunder inside my chest like my heart wanting to be out of its cage.

I'm trying my best to still hold that nonchalant face, "I'm sorry for the sudden confession. Mali ang iniisip mo na katawan mo lang ha—"

"Enough, Callen." Pagputol ko sa ano pa man ang sasabihin niya.

Maliwanag dito sa labas dahil sa mga ilaw sa poste at full moon pa ngayong gabi and now I can see the hurt and sadness from her eyes in which I divert my look away from her again.

"Whatever we share on bed stays only inside the bedroom, Callen. You only got attached because I told you to take me all, you saw my vulnerable side and took advantage while I was still in the—"

Sumunod na lang nangyari binitawan niya mga dala niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"I have feelings for you, Kayleigh." Callen emphasizes between words, "Hindi dahil lang sa gabing unang beses tayo nagsalo sa kama. Mahal kita dahil yun talaga ang nararamdaman ko para sayo."
