CHAPTER 28: HAPPINESS
SORCHA'S POV
In the years that I've been working, this is the first time that I've been hyperaware of the time. Kadalasan ay hindi ko pa nga napapansin na lunch time na pala o tapos na ang oras ng trabaho. I'm too absorbed in my work to care for anything else.
But right now, I knew the moment that it was time for a break and it was not because I made an alarm. It was because of the man beside me who jumped up from his seat. Hindi pa siya nakuntento at hinila niya pa ang swivel chair ko paatras kasabay nang pagtayo niya.
Bumasag sa katahimikan ang boses ni Daze. "Lunch time!"
Some of my colleagues flinched in surprise at the sudden noise in the silent room. Wala namang nagalit sa kanila dahil naistorbo sila sa mga ginawa nila at sa halip ay ngingiti-ngiting napailing na lang sila. Sanay na kasi sila sa mga kalokohan ni Daze.
"Mauna na kayo at hinihintay namin si Ma'am Lia. Dadating daw siya mamaya," sabi ni Khione na nanatiling nakaupo. "Pakainin mo na 'yang alaga mo, Sorcha, at mukhang gutom na."
When I glanced at Daze, I saw him giving me a look that should be considered a sin. Because it's making me want to sin.
"Too hungry," he said with his eyes locked on me.
"Naka today's special ba ang paborito mo sa TDN o sa cafeteria at parang excited na excited ka?" tanong naman ni Torryn.
Daze teeth graze his lower lip and my eyes couldn't help but follow the movement. "Yes. Hindi na nga ako makapaghintay."
Tumayo na ako bago pa may makahalata sa amin. Wala pa nga ba? No one's saying anything about it, which is surprising. Hmm.
Pinauna ako ni Daze na makalabas at sumunod siya sa akin. Nang nasa hallway na kami ay sumabay siya sa akin sa paglalakad habang may tamang espasyo sa pagitan namin. It was when we were in the elevator that I could feel the shift in the air, especially when the doors started to close.
He reached for my hand, and he pulled me close. In an instant, I found myself in his arms. "Pwede ko na bang i-advance ang dessert?"
I rolled my eyes. "Puro ka advance."
"When it comes to my, Sorchie, boyscout 'to. Maagap." He leaned towards me, his lips crossing the distance to mine. Iyon nga lang ay bago niya magawa 'yon ay nagsimula muling bumukas ang pintuan ng elevator. Daze seemed to be unaware of it, but I wasn't.
I kicked his shin, and his hold on me loosened. Itinulak ko siya palayo at mabilis na tumabi ako sa kabilang gilid para makalayo ako sa kaniya.
Napadiretso ang likod ko nang makita ko na ang isa sa mga boss na si Axel Dawson ang pumasok sa ngayon ay bukas ng pintuan ng elevator. His forehead was knotted as his gaze shifted from me to Daze, who's crouching while massaging his leg that I just kicked.
