Intertwist (Boy's Love)

CHAPTER 6

Days passed by. I pretended that I was okay since Sander always refused to leave. He would always tend to be with me even in his work days. I don't want his job to be affected just because of me. That's just absurd.

Sa ngayon, umiinom nalang ako ng gamot na binigay sa akin ng doctor. This medicine is not a cure. It just extends my life. Kaya minsan hindi lumalabas yung mga symptoms. I also refused doing chemotherapy..That's a book that I would never want to read.

So I returned working. How could I live my remaining days if I don't have money. I just somehow want to make my remaining days' worth it.

Agad akong napalingon when the doorbell rang. Maybe he's here.

I immediately opened the door. "So sir Jake you're he-" I stopped talking when the one that I was expecting is not the guy who rang the doorbell. It was Sander. He's just wearing his casual white shirt and both of his hands were in his pocket.

Why is he here? I get it that today's Sunday but does he really have to come?

"S-sander. What are you doing in here?" I stammered. Maybe because of the thought that the guy that I like is standing right before me.

He looked at me with confusion. He raised his right eyebrow. "What do you mean Jake?" He asked, in a bemused tone.

"Just a client." I replied shortly. I immediately looked away when he remained silent and just stared at me.

I went to the couch and sat in there. I awkwardly glanced at him. Pumasok na siya sabay sara sa pinto. He calmly went nearer and sat beside me.

"I'm tired Gray." He suddenly muttered. When I looked at him, he was closing his eyes while leaning his back in the couch.

"You can rest at your house." I stated. He opened his eyes and looked at me in protest.

"But I like it here." He objected.

"You know what, Sander you don't have to come here in your rest days. I mean you have a girlfriend. You should spend your free time with her. Wala ka rin namang magagawa rito. I'm obviously a boring person." I continuously said.

Tama naman talaga lahat ng sinabi ko. I admit it. Ever since I acknowledge my feelings for him I became so self-conscious.

A corner of his mouth lifted. "Don't make me laugh. My girlfriend is not free today. She's studying. I know na wala naman talaga akong magagawa but at least I can talk to you and you're not a boring person Gray. Don't degrade yourself." He responded. He leaned his back in the couch and closed his eyes again after answering.

I felt my chest drumming so loud after hearing those words. Your words really never failed to flutter me. If you don't have a girlfriend, I would definitely misunderstand you. I would really think that you have feelings for me.

I laughed secretly because of that thought for I know myself that he having feelings for me is definitely impossible.

"By the way, I'll just stay here for thirty minutes okay? I still have something to do at my house." He randomly said and went back to sleep.

"Okay." I responded then smiled secretly.

Minutes had already passed when the doorbell rang again. Maybe this time, it's Jake. I leaved the couch slowly and carefully, afraid of waking up Sander. Agad akong pumunta sa pintuan. When I opened the door, I saw him looking around and when he noticed me, he immediately smiled.
