He Suddenly Came Back

Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24: Interruption at its Best

(Zoe's POV)

My mouth hung open. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa lahat ng sinabi niya. First love niya ako? At Love at first sight pa talaga huh? Everything was just surprising... and unbelievable.

Hinawakan niya yung baba ko, "Sara mo na, mapapasukan ng langaw eh."

I slapped his hands and narrowed my eyes.

"Easy there, Z. So, I suppose everything is clear for you now."

I slowly nodded pero di ako nakatingin sa kanya. Ang then there was silence. I could sense that he was staring at me. "Staring is rude."

"Call me rude then." He shrugged.

Hindi ko na nga siya pinansin at iniligpit ko na yung medicine kit. Pagbalik ko sa sala, nakabukas na yung tv at nanunood na siya. Wow! Di uso ang magpaalam? Masyadong feel at home eh. Pumunta ako sa couch at umupo.

"Gusto kong kumain ng cake."

"Edi bumili ka."

"Pero mas gusto ko pag ikaw yung nag bake."

"Di ako ma-" di ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil nilagay niya yung index finger niya sa bibig ko.

"Huwag na huwag mong sasabihin sa akin na hindi ka marunong dahil alam kong marunong ka."

"Wala akong stocks."

"Talaga?" he asked mockingly, he narrowed his eyes. "Eh ano yung nakita ko sa cabinet?"

"Ugh! Sige na. Kainis to!"

"Yeeeyy!" pinapalakpak pa niya yung kamay niya habang sinusundan ako papunta sa kitchen.

I prepared the tools and ingredients then started baking. Una kong pinagtuunang pansin ang dry ingredients pagkatapos ay iyong mga liquid naman. Nang mailagay ko na sa pan ay agad ko itong ipinasok sa oven. Habang naghihintay ay gumawa muna ako ng frosting.

"Clive, inuubos mo naman ang icing eh." Reklamo ko. Kanina pa siya. Baka wala na akong mailagaw sa cake.

"Konti lang naman." Tapos kumuha ulit siya gamit ang daliri niya.

"Tama na nga sabi!"

"Last na." pero di na niya ito kinain instead he put it on my face.

I gave him a death glare, "Ah ganun ah..." Kumuha ako ng maraming icing sa kamay ko then I dumped it on his face. Ha! Serves him.

"Clive you look like a clown." I laughed but I noticed that he's planning his revenge so I ran off quickly to the sala. At ayun, para kaming mga bata na naghahabulan. He has a bunch of icing in his hands so I shouldn't be caught but...

"Got yaa!" then held me from my behind so tight then put the icings on my face.

"No you didn't!"

I yelled then turn around to face him just when I realized how close we are. My heart started to beat fast. I blink once, twice, and thrice. He is staring at me and I think I am doing the same. I couldn't pull away for some reason. His eyes travelled from my eyes to my lips. Slowly, he moved away the hair strands on my face then tucked it behind my ear. His face is getting closer... and closer but then my phone rang.

Napabalikwas kaming dalawa. Bumalik ako sa kusina dahil nandun yung phone ko. Nang sasagutin ko na sana, tumigil na yung pag ring. 1 missed call from Unknown Number...

Sino kaya to? Nilagay ko nalang yung phone ko sa bulsa. I turned my face in Clive's direction just when I saw him pulling off his shirt.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" I blurted

"Hinuhubad ang damit ko." then he completely pulled it off.

"Bakit?" I swallowed.

"Magbibihis ako, nadumihan yung damit ko. Buti nalang talaga at nagdala ako ng extra."

"Ah, okay?" Napadpad yung tingin ko dun sa abs niya. Shit! Kumpleto. Bakit biglang ayaw umalis ng mata ko sa abs niya? Damn it!

He snapped his fingers. "Enjoying the view? You're already drooling."

"Eh?" I immediately held the side of my lips to check.

He suddenly laughed. Seriously, what's so funny?

Kinuha ko yung rubber scraper at binato ko sa kanya pero nakailag siya. Pumunta na siya sa sala para kunin yung extra niyang damit. Tinapos ko nalang yung pag b-bake.
