She woke up feeling refreshed and as she look around, her brows started to crease. Wala siya sa sariling bahay! And as realization hit her, napabalikwas siya ng bangon.
Pinakiramdaman niya ang sarili, nang walang maramdamang anumang masakit sakanya ay bahagya siyang nakahinga nang maluwag, she once again look around and realized she was in a man's room.
The bed she's in is a king sized bed with white covers, pillows, and comforters. The walls are white too the floor is covered in royal blue carpet, in front of her is a door which she thinks is the bathroom while on her left is another door which she thinks is the bedroom door but what caught her is the double floor to ceiling glass door on her right leading to a terrace facing the sunrise and there lies a white rattan coffee table and two matching armchairs and what made it look more inviting are the hanging plants and flower pots around.
Akma na siyang babangon para tunguhin ang terasa nang bumukas ang pintuan at iniluwa nito si Andrew na pawisan sa suot nitong sweatpants, sneakers at plain white shirt na basa na ng pawis kaya naman bakat na bakat na ang malalapad nitong dibdib at balikat isaman na rin ang mga braso nito at syempre ang tinatawag nilang washboard stomach with eight-pack abs!
Nakarinig siya ng tikhim na pumutol sa daloy ng utak niyang kay aga aga'y marumi na. Ramdam niya ang pagpula ng mukha niya ng magtama ang mata nila ng higanteng nakatingin na sakanya ngayon na may nanunuksong ngiti sa mga labi.
"G-good morning." Aniya at ngumiti na tingin niya'y naging ngiwi.
Matamis naman itong ngumiti, "Good morning!" masigla nitong bawi sabay angat ng dalawang kamay na may hawak na dalawang kape sa sa kaliwang kamay mula sa isang sikat na coffee shop at sa kanan naman ay dalawang paperbag.
"Breakfast?"
Her stomach growled as an answer before she could say anything and she wanted the floor to swallow her up right now when he laughed and walked towards the glass door and opened it motioning her to follow him.
Inabot nito sakanya ang isang kape. aksidente pang nagdaiti ang kanilang balat and she once again felt that electricity she felt when he caressed my face last night.
Nagpatay malisya nalang siya. At isa pa, parang wala naman itong pakealam. Ilang sandali pa ay pinagsasaluhan na nila ang mga dala ni Andrew. They comfortably ate silence.
"Where am I exactly? And how did I end up here instead of my condo?" she said sarcastically.
Tinawanan lang siya nito. "Well we got stuck on traffic di pa man tayo nakakalabas ng makati dahil nagka vehicular accident daw along the way plus I saw you sleeping peacefully and I don't have heart to wake you up para sana ipaalam na iuuwi nalang muna kita sa rito and besides, I'm harmless." Anito at kumindat pa na ikinapula niya. "And that's where we end up here in my penthouse. We're still in Makati by the way." Mahabang paliwanag nito.
Tumangu-tango nalang siya habang ngumunguya. Alangan naman na magreklamo pa siya di naman siya ginawan nito ng masama binuhat na nga siya nito hanggang dito, pinatulog sa kama nito binih-wait what?!
Marahas siyang napalingon dito. Kunot noo naman itong lumingon.
"Y-you carried m-me here? S-slept beside m-me? A-a-and changed my c-clothes?"
Humigop muna ito ng kape bago siya muling hinarap. "Yes. No and no."
"You mean?"
"Yes, I carried you. No I slept on the guest room and No I asked a housekeeper to change you."
Nakahinga siya ng maluwag.
"Salamat sa pagpapatuloy. Naabala pa tuloy kita." Ayaw niyang nakakaabala at lalo na hindi siya sanay na inaasikaso.
"You will never be a bother to me, Gabby." Makahulugan nitong turan.
Nagtaka man siya kung paano nito nalaman ang palayaw niya ngunit hindi na lamang niya ito isinatinig. Iilan at mga close lang niya ang tumatawag sakanyang Gabby at ang iba'y Gabrielle na o Elle."Lulubusin ko na nang tukuyan ang pang aabuso ko sa'yo ha? Makikiligo na rin."
"Feel at home Gabby." Saka nito inabot sakanya ang isang paper bag na dala rin nito kanina. "by the way here are clothes I picked up sa pinsan ko while I jogged magkasing build lang kayo matangkad ka lang ng kaunti don't worry the undergarments are new and unused."
Namula ata hangang kaduluduluhan ng daliri niya sa paa.
"Sobra sobra na talaga ang abala ko sa'yo Andrew."
"No worries." He smiled sweetly at her. "anyways shower rin muna ako sa guest room treat this room as yours. Then I'll take you home" Anito bago naglakad na palayo.
Isa ring palaisipan sakanya na siya ang pinatulog sa kwarto nito at ito sa guest room. Baliktad ata. Ang gulo nito at ayaw na niyang mag isip kaya tumayo na rin siya at nagtungo sa banyo para maligo.
