Beauty and the Beast

34 - Fave Athlete ⚠️

KAI'S POV

Already inside my office and caressing my forehead, lost in thoughts while tapping my finger on my desk. Biglang bumukas ang pinto.

Gil: Whoa- kala ko mamaya ka pa babalik. Di ka ba pumunta sa campus nila Aya boss?

I inhaled deeply.

Kai: I did.

Gil: Eh... bat bad mood ka?

Kai: Coz I can't understand her! Sino ba kasing naka imbento ng letseng ligaw na yan! I did what she would like but it turns out na hindi niya pala gusto!

Gil: Calm down boss... maybe you should change your approach?

Kai: THEN TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO!?

Malakas kung sabi sa kanya. I'm getting really stress and irritated.

Gil: B-boss ako na bahala. Give me a minute, can I leave this room for a while?

Kai: Go

I said dryly and decided to focus on my work.

AYA'S POV

It's already 5pm at uwian na. Syd and Stell went home na kaya kami na lang dalawa ni Chole na iwan. We haven't talk since nakabalik kami from our trip. She's too silent, so I bump her shoulder.

Aya: Huy! Oks ka lang?

Chole: Yep, wag ka ngang dumikit masyado baka mapatay ako ng boss mo

I laughed with her remark.

Aya: Baliw, masungit yun pero di mamatay tao noh

Then she stopped walking.

Aya: Chole?

She had her eyes on the ground and lift her head to met my stare.

Chole: Mahal mo ba siya?

Aya: Si- sino?

Chole: Uwi na tayo parang na tatae ako shit.

Dali-dali siyang pumunta sa gate. I ran to catch up on her pero di ko na siya naabutan. But what I saw is her car. Huminga ako ng malamin at naglakad papunta sa kotse niya. Binuksan ko ito at sumakay na.

Aya: Uhmm hi, kanina ka pa ba?

She just nod and started the engine. We were silent along the ride and she never even glanced at me. We were in front of a traffic light and it turns red.

Aya: Galit ka ba sakin?

I looked at her while fidgeting my fingers.

Kai: No

Matipid niyang sagot and continued driving.

Aya: Can you pull off the car there?

Turo ko sa may park banda.

Kai: Why?

Aya: Basta

She swirved on the right side and parked sa may puno na harap ang isang parke.

Aya: This is tinted right?

Kai: Huh?

I unbuckled my seatbelt and tied my hair in a messy bun.

Aya: Remove your seatbelt

Kai: Why?

She removed it and I fumbled with her belts unbuckling it.

Kai: Wait Aya-

She gripped my hand trying to stop me.

Kai: You don't have to do this.... I don't want you to think na I only like you because of this... I've been trying not to touch you... to prove you na I- I really like you...
