Chapter 41

Kinabukasan, nagising si Leo nang maaga.

Agad niyang naramdaman ang pamamanhid ng balikat niya but when he looked at Sierra's sleeping face beside him, he instantly remembered what happened last night.

He touched her hair and simply looked at her.

He likes her.

'I like her,' nasa isipan ni Leo.

Nakakatakot ng marealize niya ang iniisip. Ngayon lang niya naintindihan lahat ng mga nalaman niya kagabi. He admitted to his self that he likes her. He likes Sierra.

His talented graphic designer and dear friend.

Sh*t!

Napatingin agad si Leo sa dingding ng kwarto.

Anong gagawin niya?

It's been years since he felt this way again. It's been years since he liked someone. Someone with the opposite-sex that he despised the most.

Napakamot si Leo sa ulo niya pero agad napatigil sa pag-iisip ng maramdaman ang katabing humigpit ang pagyakap sa kanya.

Hinigit niya ang paghinga and was surprised by his sudden nervousness towards the situation.

Agad na bumilis ang tibok ng puso ni Leo ng matitigan ng maayos si Sierra with his thoughts now.

Sh*t! ANONG GAGAWIN NIYA?

Nakakapanibago. There are only two women that he actually care about and that is his mother and sister, Rena.

And seeing the girl he 'likes' currently sleeping in his arms, in his bed. Nalilito si Leo.

"Hmmm..." Napaungol ito and crunched her nose a bit.

Dahan-dahang napangiti si Leo sa gesture na yun.

Paano niya itatago ang nararamdaman kay Sierra?

It's too fast. Bakit ngayon niya narealize? Di ba pwede sa mga susunod na araw nalang o buwan? Bakit ngayon? When she's still a wreck and still hurting for the memories of her past.

Nagpasya si Leo na bumangon na lang at maligo to clear his mind. He needed to sort out his feelings. Kung totoo nga bang gusto niya si Sierra or nadala lang siya sa emosyon and fondness towards her.

. . .

Nagpasya siyang magpadeliver nalang ng breakfast dahil ayaw niyang pakainin na naman ng fried food si Sierra. Baka magkaroon na ito ng sakit dahil sa mga kinakain nito. Last time, he cooked her food, lahat piniritong pagkain.

Habang hinihintay ang pagkain, he pondered hardly about his thoughts and feelings.

How can he say he likes her? How does he know?

He never intended this to happen. It just did. Who would've thought that there will come a time that he would like her and she will change his perspective about things.

Tama nga siya nung una. Dapat siyang lumayo kay Sierra.

Pero hindi niya kaya. Ang mga nakaraang pangyayari mismo ang naging dahilan para maging magkaibigan sila ni Sierra. Nothing is planned.

Napasapo siya sa kanyang ulo. Handa na ba siya?

Teka—bakit ba siya namomroblema eh wala namang gusto si Sierra sa kanya? It's better to not keep his hopes up.

Napatango siya, okay, let's keep it this way.

"L-leo?" mabilis siyang napalingon ng marinig ang boses na yun. Inaayos nito ang heaaring aid nito. Tinanggal kase ni Leo iyon ng makatulog ito ng mahimbing. It can be uncomfortable for her ears.
