MISS NOT PERFECT

CHAPTER 52

"Thanks" I said.

Humigop ako ng mainit na kape at pinagmasdan si Mikki na umupo sa harapan ko.

She tossed a towel in front of me at the table. I immediately put the towel over my head and dried my hair. Medyo nilalamig na nga ako dahil nabasa ako ng ulan. Pagkatapos kong punasan ang basa kong buhok, tumingin ako kay Mikki, i saw her brows creases while she crossed her arms over her shoulder while staring at me.

"Uh.. thanks" i said again.

I sighed as i averted my gazed because i can't handle the stare she's giving me. It's as if something's going on in her mind and ready to explode if i will provoke.

"You should take a shower" she finally said. I stared at her, raising my eyebrows with a questioning look.

She sighed and stood up but she stopped and tilted her head before passing me by.

Hindi ko alam kung anong ibig sabihin nun pero tumayo ako at sumunod sa kanya. Umakyat kami sa hagdan, napatigil lang ako sa paglalakad nung makita kong binuksan niya ang pinto ng kwarto niya. I shouldn't followed her. Tss.

But suddenly, she stopped and looked at me again. "Come in" she said before she opened the door widely.

I gasped and my eyes widened in shock as if my brain aren't able to process what she had been said. Come in? Is she asking me to come inside her room? Just the two of us? With me.. soaking wet? Oh God! I sound ridiculous! What am i even saying? Lalagnatin yata ako!

She leaned her back against the side door and raised her eyebrows while watching my expression.

I bit my lip and heaved a sigh.

"Use my comfort room to take a shower, i'll get you some clothes" she said and turned her back and entered the room next door.

Napabuga ako ng hangin ng mawala siya sa paningin ko, hinintay ko siyang lumabas ng kwarto bago ako pumasok sa loob ng kwarto niya. Lumabas siya nang may hawak na damit at inabot sakin. Mabilis akong pumasok sa banyo pagkaabot ko ng mga damit. It's awkward. I shouldn't really come here.

Sabi ko kasi hindi ako papasok sa loob, why am i ended up here?

I sighed.

Pumikit ako at sinalubong ng mukha kyp ang lagaslas ng tubig sa shower. It's so warm, so relaxing. Then i realized, it's the second time im using her private room. Yes, im aware that girls comfort room is the most sacred room for them before their bedroom. I remember Mikki getting mad at me knowing that i used it last time then im confused now that she let me use it today. What had gotten her to even let me in here in their house? Is she grateful? Is she concerned? I sighed and shook my head.

I might just be gone crazy if i keep on calculating her actions. She is indeed a pretty complicated one.

I used her liquid soap and shampoo. Nandito na naman ako, bakit hindi ko pa lubusin? Nakangiti akong lumabas ng banyo habang pinapatuyo ko ang basa kong buhok.

Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na kaamoy ko na si Mikki. Baliw na nga siguro ako.

Kinagat ko ang labi ko at napatingin sa salamin habang pinipigilan ko ang pagngiti. I can see how red my face are now in the mirror. Napailing na lang ako at napahinga ng malalim.

Hindi nagtagal may kumatok sa pinto at bumakas ito. Sumilip ang isa sa maids nila at sinabing bumaba na lang ako kapag okay na ko. Nilapag ko ang towel sa may swivel chair, bago lumabas ng kwarto.

I saw Mikki sitting at the sofa while slowly sipping her coffee with ofcourse creases on her forehead. Umupo ako sa single sofa na kaharap niya.

The maid offer me a coffee again pero tumanggi na ko. I just stared at Mikki who doesn't even bother taking a glance at me.
