Theodore

AINE 11

"Good morning Atty." Bati sakin ng mga staff pagdating ko sa opisina. Bumalik na ako sa trabaho kahit ayaw ni Theo. He said I need to rest but I insisted. I have to work dahil andami kong dapat tapusin. 

"Good morning guys." I replied and smiled at them. Sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko ngayon. I feel extra happy, too. Maybe because I had enough time to rest...

You're happy because of Theo. 

My inner self interrupted and it made me smile. Oo nga naman, I can't deny the fact that I am extra happy now because I finally said those things that I kept in my heart for a long time. 

"Attorney, is it just me or you really look extra fabulous today?" Tanong sakin nung isa. I rolled my eyes. Now my staff knows how to sweet talk. 

"Wag mo kong bolahin. Ilang araw lang akong nawala and then this? Marunong ka ng mambola?" I tried to talk as serious as possible para hindi mahalata sa boses ko ang saya na nararamdaman ko. 

"It's true Ma'am." Sabat naman ng isa. 

"Go back to work guys." I tried harder pero sadyang malilikot ang mga staff ko. 

"Sus si Attorney blooming." Nag chorus naman sila.

"Ewan ko sa inyo." Nilagpasan ko sila at pumasok na sa akong silid. I rested my back in my swivel chair while remember all the good things happen this morning.

I wope up when I felt something on my face. When I opened my eyes I saw the most beautiful human being I could ever imagine. Theo was stroking my hair and touching my cheek like he used to do before. 

"Hey." I said and I saw how his serious gaze turned into a cute smile.

"Good morning angel." He whispered and I swear in that moment, my hair on the back of my neck stood up. I tried to compose my self and smiled back. 

"Good morning. Kanina ka pa gising?" I noticed that his hair was a bit damp and he obviously smelled like chocolate. 

Nahiya naman ako sa kanya... He was handsome and smelled damn good while I look terrible from sleep. Ramdam ko ang bigat sa katawan ko na para bang sobrang pagod ko but at the same time, I am super happy.

"Yes. I cooked you your favorite pancake." He proudly told me.

At first medyo naguluhan ako. Unti-unting nag sink-in sakin ang lahat. Yesterday, we were in his parents house then we had a very emotional encounter until last night when I fainted then we talked and we cried and we were in pain. 

"Hey!" He interrupted my thoughts and automatically put his hand on my forehead like he was feeling if I had a fever. 

"Sorry." Napakurap ako. 

"Is there som-" Hindi niya natapos ang sasabihin when he realized. "Oh shiz. You said you're allergic to gluten and does not eat pancakes anymore." Napasapo pa siya sa kanyang noo. I looked into his face and I noticed that familiar face whenever he's disappointed. He looked cute..but kaawa-awa.
