Buong gabi akong malungkot at umiiyak. Hindi ko na kasi alam kung anong gagawin ko. Galit ako kay Gavin dahil may iba siyang mahal ngunit wala naman talaga akong karapatan na magalit sa kanya, diba? Deal is a deal!

Pinasok ko to dahil sa isang pabor pero bakit hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin maitanim sa isipan ko na walang pag-ibig ang namagitan sa amin ni Gavin? Bakit naghahangad pa rin yung puso ko na mapansin ng lalaki? Bakit?

Mag-aalas syete na ng umaga, wala akong planong bumangon. Wala rin akong ganang kumain. Nakakalungkot naman kasing kumain ng mag-isa. Nasa Cebu yung mga magulang ko to check one of our hotels that was located in that province. Si Cary naman ay may flight kahapon at sigurado akong sa susunod na araw na yun makauwi.

Tinatamad din akong pumunta sa opisina ko. Baka kasi mapansin pa ng mga tauhan ko yung pamumugto ng aking mga mata. Damn you, Gavin! It's your fault!

My attention shifted to the door when I heard a knock.

"Elena, ikaw ba yan?" tawag ko sa isa sa mga katulong namin ngunit wala akong narinig na sagot galing sa labas ng aking silid.

"Elena, I'm still sleepy... And I'm not hungry..." I added. Ngunit kumatok pa rin to.

I let out a deep sigh. Nakaramdam kasi ako ng pagkairita dahil sa lahat ng pinakaayaw ko ay yung iniistorbo yung tulog ko. But I was confused dahil hindi naman talaga namimilit yung mga katulong namin. Pag sinabi ko kasi na ayaw ko, kusa na lang tong aalis sa labas ng aking kuwarto.

Sino kaya to? Baka si Zaza o yung iba kong mga pinsan.

Hindi pa rin tumigil to sa kakatok.

Ugh. I hate it!

"C'mon, give this beautiful lady here a time to sleep!" I yelled in annoyance, covered my face with my pillow, so, I couldn't hear any disturbing knocks again.

Damn it! Fine!

Suko na ako. Wala talagang planong tumigil to sa pang-iistorbo.

Padabog akong tumayo and walked heavily toward the door.

Inis kong binuksan yung pinto. "How dare you to disturb my...!"

"Good morning sleepyhead!" A beautiful smile flashed on Gavin's face.

"G-Gavin...?"

"Hi! How's my fiancee?" He quickly gave me a kiss on the cheek, it froze me for a sec. My eyes widened and even my cheeks turned to red, I could feel it.

How could he paint a smile on his lips after what happened last night? How could he even pretend like he forgot everything that he left me hanging?

"What are you doing here, Berrones?" I asked, rolling my eyes on him, pretending I'm not affected by his fresh scent.

"You are really cute, Ms. Campoverde," he said and winked sexily.

He is trying to seduce me, isn't he? Well, darn it, he definitely wins.

Suddenly, my blood rose up to my cheeks again. I must admit, I was blushing by his gaze... Over and over... Shit!

"A-Are you flirting with... me, Berrones?" I asked, stuttering. Thought, I couldn't spit those words out.

He smirked. "No, I'm not!"

"Then, what are you doing..." Before I could finish my question, he grabbed my wrist, pulling me closer to him and snaked an arm around my waist.
