CHAPTER 12
"Intéressant."
Lorence was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed while reading COMBUSTIN's Barricade. The only magazine circulating around the said orgnization na nahiram pa niya kay Annabeth. Napailing siya. For a group who wanted to stay hidden, they documented everything well.
Lalo na kapag tsismis.
Bumaling siya kay JT na magpasahanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring malay na nakahiga sa kama. Mukhang napalakas talaga ang pagkakasisipa niya sa lalaki.
Well, he deserve that.
She was supposed to leave yesterday but after the incident at the Guesthouse, she has to stay and take care of her hospitalized boyfriend. But deep down, she wish that this is all for real...the two of them in a relationship not the lying in hospital bed unconcious of course.
Come to think of it, gaya niya nagpaiwan din si CJ. Kung bakit? Malalaman niya iyon kapag nagpakita na ang kaibigan niya. CJ usually disappear whenever she was pissed off. Her friend was never fond of socializing, especially when she's in the mood to kill someone. And by someone, she meant three someones.
She noticed JT stirring from his slumber, so she hid the magazine inside her bag and remained on her seat. Nakakunot ang noo ni JT habang inililibot ang paningin sa kabuuan ng silid, hanggang sa napadako ang mga mata nito sa kanyang kinauupuan. Kaagad na sumilay ang matamis na ngiti sa labi nito.
"You stay."
"I have to."
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin dito. Nararamdaman na naman kasi niyang bumibilis ang pagtibok ng kanyang puso. Namayani ang katahimikan sa kanilang dalawa. It was a comfortable silence, surprisingly. Kaagad ding naglaho ang katahimikang iyon ng pabagsak na bumukas ang pintuan.
"JT!"
Humahangos na pumasok si Tanya. Annabeth was following the woman boredly. Kaagad na lumapit si Tanya sa lalaking nakahiga sa kama. Completely bypassing her presence. Naupo naman si Annabeth sa kanyang tabi at pinanood ang dalawa.
"Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong nito kay JT, the woman even tried to hold his hand pero mabilis na iniiwas iyon ng lalaki na binalewala lang ni Tanya. "Don't worry. I'm here, aalagaan kita."
Tumikhim si Annabeth na nakakuha sa atensyon ni Tanya.
"You must be forgetting something." sabi dito ni Annabeth. "His girlfriend is just sitting right here."
Galit na bumaling sa kanya si Tanya ng marinig ang sinabi ni Annabeth.
"How dare you hurt him? Wala kang karapatang saktan si JT."
"Actually meron."
Tumayo siya mula sa silya at lumapit sa dalawa. She stood beside JT and intertwined their fingers. If they would be pretending as a very much in love couple, it would be better if they would start now.
"I'm his girlfriend, remember? As for him being hospitalized..." tumingin siya kay JT at ngumiti. "Ever heard of tough love? Iyon kasi ang natutunan ko sa peace corps, that...if by chance we decided to venture into love, we have to ensure that man would be strong enough to withstand everything. I'm just toughening him up for him to be able to do that."
Tumingin si Tanya kay JT. Pero hindi naman ito pinansin ng lalaki dahil nakatutok ang atensyon nito sa kanya. Which pleases her...a little.
"You're all here."
Pumasok sa bukas na pintuan ang nakangiting si Shiori kasama si Chan.
"And you're awake. That's good Pwede ka ng lumabas, JT." sabi ni Chan sa lalaki. "At wag mong pakatitigan si Lorence. Baka matunaw."
