Found You, Cindirella (Cast a Spell Series #2)

Chapter XXI

Him

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakatakas. I ran away after he confessed his feelings! Hindi ako ang umamin pero kung makatakbo ang puso ko, akala mo siya ang nahuli!

This can't be! I'm straight!

I paced back and forth, contemplating his words. I mean... I expected him to at least deny it! I'm his boss! Dapat... natatakot siya sa akin.

"Nahihilo na ako."

Natigil ako sa boses ni Angelo. Nilingon ko siya at doon ko pa napagtantong kanina pa pala siya nakatayo sa tabi ng pintuan. I forgot he was my night shift bodyguard. I shook my head and sighed. Dahan-dahan akong naglakad papalapit sa computer ko at sumalampak. I immediately opened google search and typed something.

Signs you are not straight.

Namula ako at nag-angat ng tingin kay Angelo, takot na baka mabasa niya kung ano mang tinipa ko. He raised his brows at me so I avoided my eyes.

"Huwag kang lalapit." Sabi ko dahil baka mabasa niya!

He regarded me coldly. "Nanonood din ako." Kalmadong sabi niya kaya mas lalo akong nahiya.

I wish it was porn!

I clicked one article and scrolled down as I read the signs.

1. Wondering if you're gay in the middle of the night.

Nope! I released a relieved sigh and scrolled again.

2. Little interest on the opposite sex.

Hindi... I find girls attractive.

I'm straight! I chuckled to myself and found myself dumb because indeed, I know I'm straigh—

3. You dream about kissing someone in the same gender.

Unang pumasok sa isipan ko si Ci. I mean... he has good lips, a natural pink lips, they looked soft and— wait! How did I know that?!

Namutla ako sa naisip. I can't believe I'm imagining kissing him! On the lips?! Kissing a man?!

I gasped and looked at Angelo. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nakamasid sa akin, halatang nalilito na sa pinaggagawa ko.

If I imagine kissing Angelo—

Umiling ako dahil sa pandidiri. Hindi ko kayang halikan si Angelo! I can't find myself kissing him!

I rested my head against the chair's headrest and closed my eyes. For a minute, I let my thoughts rest. And eventually, it went dark.

I dreamt of something.

Something weird.

But soft.

A kiss! She kissed me and it felt good.

But who's...

She stepped back and I slowly opened my eyes. The moment my eyes found light, a black eyes suddenly appeared— a black hair! And... a bodyguard suit! I gasped.

It's not a she, it's a he!

"Bakit?" Kalmado ang boses ni Ci nang umatras ako dahil sa gulat.

"Y-You kissed me!" My lips were pale as I stare at his neutral face.

Nagtaas siya ng kilay. "You enjoyed it."

Mas lalo akong namutla. "I-I didn't!"

A slow smirk formed into his lips and I froze. He stepped forward slowly as he regarded me. Hindi ako nakaatras nang dahan-dahan siyang tumingkayad para maabot ang tainga ko.
