The Dare

[26] Thank You Gift

[26] Thank You Gift

Treah's POV

"Thanks Manang."

"You're welcome po young master."

"You may now go."

Huh? Ano yun? Why do I hear voices?

An old lady and a guy whose age is like mine. Who are they?

Nakaramdam naman ako ng kaunting kirot--- no scratch that. Hindi lang siya basta kirot. It feels like death.

Parang may bumabaril na pumupukpok at inuuntog yung ulo ko sa pader. Ganun yung feeling. I can't even remember what happened yesternight.

I'm trying to remember those but I can't. Lalo lang sumasakit yung ulo ko.

"I know you're awake now Ms. Masungit. Don't act as if you're sleeping. Get up." Eh? Ms. Masungit? And wow, how dare he speak to me like that using his authoritive voice.

No one dares to speak to me like that. Except my father.

I just sighed as I opened my eyes and--- "WAAAAHHHH! WAAHH-- HMMP! HMMP!" The heck with this freaking guy, he covered my mouth for crying out loud!

Paano ba naman ako hindi sisigaw? His face was an inch closer from mine! Is he freaking crazy?!

He glared at me. "Don't you ever shout at this hour. It's early in the morning and you make my ears bleed to death Ms. Masungit. You're in my house so---"

"WHAT?!" I blurted out that made him stop from talking.

I'm in his house?!  But why? When? How?

He shot dagger looks at me. I know he's mad at me now. "Fine. I'm sorry. I'm just shocked kung bakit nasa bahay ako ng ibang tao." This is really my fault.

But wait, Ms. Masungit? I tried to catch a glimpse of his face from the corner of my eye and sudden thoughts of what happened yesternight went popping out of my mind.

He volunteered to bring me home last night and I get drunked in the bistro as I blurted all of my problems to him without hesitating. The fudge?! Did I just do that?

Treah Justine Hamilton did that for the first time. Wow, I guess I deserve an award for being like that. It is indeed a great job for you Hamilton.

I mentally facepalmed myself.

"Are you done checking my face out Ms. Masungit?" He smirked.

I blushed as I look at the other side of this room, just to avoid him. "In your dreams. I would never do that." Arrggghh. What was happening to me?!

He caught me staring at him! And why did I do that?

Hah! Tama, this is just the effect of what I have drink last night, tama tama. Aftershocks lang to. It's just my first time to drink kaya ganito. Yeah, ito lang yun.

"You know..." Muntikan na akong mapatalon sa gulat when he spoke. The room is so quiet pagkatapos magsasalita nalang siya na parang kabute na pasulpot-sulpot?!

Tatarayan ko na sana siya but then I saw him holding a tray with foods on it... I guess.

"Oh." He's trying to give me the tray. Aanuhin ko yan?

I twitched my eyebrows at him as he 'tsk'ed at agad na inilapag yung tray sa tabi ng higaan ko. "Gullible ka ba Ms. Masungit? It is a tray with foods on it. Diba inaabot ko sayo? What should you do if I'm giving this tray to you?"

Aish. Nakakabagot naman tong lalaking to. Andaming satsat. "Thanks." I said, monotonously.

Kinuha ko yung tray and I saw a bowl of seaweed soup, an apple, a glass of milk and a piece of chocolate. Woah. Did he prepare this for me?
