Paris: ESCAPIST

Chapter Seven

**CAMERON POV**

Pumunta nga kami sa bahay nila Paris to finalize our report. Tulad ng dati, I used again his laptop while he used his desktop. After two hours, natapos na namin ang aming presentation.

Tumayo si Paris at lumapit sa akin. "Wait for me here, papakuha lang ako ng meryenda natin.”

I smiled at him. "Thank you." I said before he went out from the room.

Dahil pagod na akong humarap sa computer, tumayo ako and inspect Paris's shelves. I was amazed to find out that his shelves are full of collections of bestselling novels of Dan Brown, James Patterson, Sidney Sheldon, and John Grisham. Marami din siyang books about Accounting, Business, Investments, Financial management at kung anu-ano pa.

I inspect also his CD's, VCD's, and DVD's. At marami siyang collection ng mga albums ng The Script, Maroon 5, Planetshakers, at Hillsong. His collections also include documentaries, historical films, at mga piling blockbuster and individual movies ng Hollywood na puro educational.

Hiyang-hiya naman ako. Ang mga collection ko lang naman ay mga Korean drama series, at mga love and fantasy movies.

Palala na talaga ng palala ang admiration at attraction na nararamdaman ko Kay Paris. Ano na naman'to?

I looked at his bed and I suddenly felt tired. Lumapit ako. Humiga at inamoy-amoy ang mabango niyang unan.

**PARIS POV**

After the maid prepared the food, I put them in a tray and went to my room. I found Cameron sleeping sweetly in my bed. Inilapag ko ang tray sa bedside table and I sat down at the edge of my bed.

I was unable to look away from her very innocent face particularly those very sweet lips of hers. I felt a very dangerous heat explode inside me and I forgot everything around me except this beautiful woman in my bed.

I felt a rush of anger towards myself to thirst for an unconscious girl. What sort of a man am I? I just ignored the feeling and went away from my bed.

**CAMERON POV**

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me. And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be.

I thought I was dreaming. Totoo palang nagpi-play ang song na 'yan. I opened my eyes and discovered that I am not in my room.

Then a thought suddenly came to me. Ako pala'y nasa kuwarto ni Paris. Nakatulog pala ako kanina. Bumangon ako at nakita ko si Paris sa harap ng kanyang laptop.

"I'm sorry, natulog ako sa kama mo."sabi ko para maagaw ang kanyang atensiyon.

"Everything’s fine with me."

"Anong oras na pala?"

"5:30. Kainin mo muna ang pagkain mo bago kita ihatid sa inyo."

Lumapit ako sa bedside table at sinimulang kainin ang pagkaing nakahain doon. Maya-maya, pagkatapos kong kumain ay nakarinig kami ng mga tawanan sa labas ng kuwarto ni Paris.

I looked at him. Irritation and annoyance are painted in his face.

Pagkatapos ng ilang segundo ay bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang isang babae at dalawang lalaki na nakasout ng Sport's Attire. Natigilan ang mga 'to at biglang tumahimik nang ako'y kanilang masilayan.

Unti-unti'y sumilay ang isang nakakalokong ngiti sa mga labi ng babae at patakbong lumapit sa akin.

"Di ba ikaw 'yung girlfriend ni kuya. 'Yung kahalikan niya nung isang araw?" Tuwang-tuwang sabi nito sa akin. I could feel my face blushing.
