Blurred Lines

Chapter : 27

---Sorry guys if tagal nakapag update.. Naging busy lang lola nyo---

I didn't sleep much last night. Thinking about so many things. That myself is the only one to blame on why my relationship has been this complicated. I love Rob but he's married with a kid and I still have uncertainties towards Bamboo's feelings for me and vice versa.

I decided to get up from the bed and walk outside the Village to get some air and sun. I opened the gate and saw Bamboo's car park on my driveway. I take a peek on the window and saw him sleeping but his hand caught my attention, by the look of it, i know it bled and bruised so badly.

I open his car door and tried to wake him up. He smells like alcohol and i'm not surprise seeing those bottle of beers on the passengers seat. I gather all my strength to pull him out. I have no one at home cos it's their (kasambahay) rest day. I put his arms around my shoulder for support and my other hand on his waist.

I tap his face to wake him up. He's now conscious but can't barely walk. I walk slowly so i won't get tired easily cos he's too heavy. I let him lie down on the nearest couch i could ever find. Remove his shoes and was about to go to get the first aid kit but he pulled me that land me on the top of him. He's holding me tight while i tried to freed myself.

" Don't go. Stay here" murmuring with eyes half close.

"I need to get medicine for your wound"

He loosened his grip on me and i stood up.

"It was nothing. Wag kana mag alala. Tabihan mo na lang ako dito" he lie down on his side to make space for me in the couch.

"I'll be back" didn't wait for his answer cos i'm sure he'll just protest. I went back with medicine in my hand and saw him already sitting down, massaging his temple.

I handed him the water with medicine "Here, drink this. Pampawala ng hang over" he did what i said and smiled afterwards.

I sat beside him and started to put medicine on his swollen and bruised hand. "Why did you allow yourself to get drunk? And what happened to this?" Asking him while my face is focus on his hand.

"It was nothing"

"Was it about what happened last night? good thing you didn't drive while drunk or else you are putting your life at risk!"

"why, are you going to be sad if may mangyari sakin na masama?"

"You know already the answer to your question" i said plainly and continue with what i'm doing.

"Yun nga ang problema Lea, i don't know. I don't know where i stand in your life. Whenever we're together i feel like you love me but i saw the same spark in your eyes whenever you're with Rob"

I stop with what i'm doing and look at him "I am sorry if i'm hurting you already. Maybe it's time for me to let you go."

"Bullshit Lea! When are you going to choose me? Why is it easy for you to let go of me? Hindi mo ba talaga ako minahal?"

"I love you. I just don't wanna see you getting hurt"

"Then choose me this time" he pleaded.

I let go of his hand "There it's done. Please next time wag na magpakalasing" i smiled a little and it's awkward.

"I'll cook breakfast. Feel at home" i stood up and walk to the kitchen without looking back at him. I can feel his staring at me but i tried to act normal cos i don't wanna make this day uncomfortable for the two of us.

I cooked a pancake, bacon and egg plus a brewed bullet coffee. I put them on the tray and prepared myself for another awkward conversation.
There's no Bamboo in sight. Thought he must be so angry and went home without saying bye. Was about to bring the tray back to the kitchen when i heard him speak.
