When Will It Be My Turn?

chapter 33

Azari's POV

I woke up without Celine in my arms, I somehow felt lonely and sad. I need her warmth.

I found myself looking for her and my feet bringing me to the kitchen, and I saw her there. With her hair tied into a messy bun, she's now preparing the food in the table and she might've felt my eyes kn her because she looked in my direction and flashed me a smile, still putting the plate in the table.

"You're awake" Still smiling she stood up straightly as she made her way towards me.

"Come eat, I know you're hungry after having such a long day."  She held my forearm and guided me to sit in the chair next to her. I looked down the plate. It's tinola. she also prepared some fruits, nakahiwa na sa lamesa.

"Oh wait, I forgot something." Tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo at may kinuha sa likuran ko, hindi ko na ito sinubukan tignan dahil nanatili ang mata ko sa nakahain ngayon sa lamesa.

I never felt this homey feeling. For the past couple of months na we're together, I'm always the one who's preaparing our meals, not only na I don't want her to move around, I also want to take care of her. But because I don't know what to care, I sometimes order or just calling my mom for help.

Then she's gonna cook and I'm gonna pick up the food from her and prepare it para hindi laging fast food ang kinakain namin ni Celine and now she's here cooking for me. I don't know but this action is making my heart jump from happiness.

"Here." She handed me some baked cookies. I looked at it surprised, not leaving my eyes off it. It has different flavours, there's chocolate, red velvet, white chocolate and two more flavours that I don't recognize.

"I remember that you want to make some cookies before and failed miserably so I made some for you." She smiled lovingly as she showed me her masterpiece.

"Thank you." I breathed out, looked at those in pure of love and appreciation.

I never thought I'd experience being take care of like this.

"No worries." She smiled at me and sat next to me and started putting some food in my plate.

"Do you want more?" She said looking at my plate full of food then back to my eyes. I shaked my head and said it's alright. She nodded and started putting some food in hers.

"The soup is hot, be careful okay?" She said reminding me, her eyes looks so soft and caring.

"Mnhm."

I took a spoon full of the tinola and chew it. As my mouth felt the savoring taste, I can't help but moan in satisfaction. Oh god, that taste so dsmn good.

I keep eating it, spoonful after another and another and another.

"Hey hey, eat slowly, there's a lot more here. No one will take it from you, dummy." She chuckle lightly as she ate her food.

I ignored her and ate it good and fast. The faster I eat the more I consume.

"Damn, I'm so full." I plumped down the couch and rubbed my bloated big tummy. I smile in satisfication.

That's the best meal i've ever had for months.

Celine laughed at me as she saw me rubbing my tummy and giving it a pat.

"You're acting like hindi ka nakakain ng ilang buwan." Tawa nito at umupo sa tabi ko.

"Well, that's the most delicious meal i've ever had for months so it makes sense." I shrugged and lay my head on her chest as I wrap my arms around her.

"You're being too clingy." She whined as she pushed my head lightly away from her chest.

"Noooo, boooobiess." I whined even more like a child.

I don't care what I look, I want my rest.

She laughed at my silliness and let it go, making nuzzle into her chest. I hmmd at satisfication.

She feels so soft and smells so good also.

She played with my hair as she hums a tone, making me comfortable in my position.

"By any chance" I heard her trailed of, I took a glance at her and see her eyes being hesitant and worried.

"What is it?" I didn't leave my eyes on her as I waited for her to speak again.

"Do you have any update on Isabel? I didn't get any message or anything from her ever since that night." She sighed, her voice is low and her eyes is sad, worriedness is written all over her face.

"She's not replying or even looking at my messages. I'm worried Azari, she's not the type to ignore my messages." She says slowly, her eyes having lots of emotions.

Now that I think about it, I didn't get any update on her either, not at work nor a message from her irritating me that she will come here to bond with Celine.

I heaved a sigh and shaked my head, she nodded defeatedly. I sat up straight, holding her cheeks making her face me.

"I'm gonna check if she's alright okay? Don't worry, she might just need some time or maybe something occured making her busy." I assured the girl, coming up with different reason to try and atleast make her feel better which worked a little.

I saw her smile and hugged me, mumbling a small thank you. I just hugged her back saying she don't need to thank me. I know her and Isabel is like sisters, at first I saw Isabel at my competitor to Celine's heart but I grew to see that it's not the thing at all, they were just really close and see each other like sisters.

A platonic relationship maybe.

I kissed her forehead as I tried my best to assure her and distract her from worrying. Which I'm glad worked because I don't know how to handle her pouting.

(Lots of time skip because I don't want this story to be 60+ chapters. Also don't wanna take my time to their love story because we are far from over.)
