The Girl Who Fell Apart

Chapter 2

Call

I woke up feeling dizzy. Napangiwi ako nang makaramdam ako ng pamilyar na sensasyon sa aking tiyan at ulo.

"Damn. Hang over's striking again!" Inis kong sabi at bumangon. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil medyo nahihilo pa ako. I know this happens every morning after partying all night, but heck! I'm still not used to this feeling!

My movement stopped when I noticed the unfamiliarity of the bedroom I'm in. Unti-unting nanlaki ang mata ko nang mapansin kong hindi ko alam kung nakaninong kwarto ako.

"This is not Kiro's freaking bedroom. W-where am I?"

Pinilit kong alalahanin ang mga nangyari. I was right. Kiro's with me last night! So how the fuck would I go to a stranger's bedroom?!

"You're awake."

Mas nanlaki ang mata ko nang marinig ko ang pamilyar na boses na iyon. I looked at him and gosh, I wish I shouldn't have!

Tumili ako at iniwas ang tingin ko sa kaniya. "Get dressed, you jerk! Bakit nakaganyan ka lang?!" Hindi sinasadyang napalunok ako nang bumalik sa isipan ko ang nakita ko kanina. Agad ko itong iwinasiwas sa isipan ko. Why was I thinking of that douchebag's half naked body?

Anong pakialam ko kung may 8 packs siya?! Wala!

"This is my place, Ms. Fuentabella. I can get to wear whatever I want. Besides, I'm not fully naked. I have a towel wrapped below down there." Uminit ang pisngi ko nung mapansin kong iba ang pagkakaintindi niya sa tanong ko. I cleared my throat. I didn't care anymore whether he answered it right and wrong. I wanna get out of here. Away from him. Now.

"Where am I?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. I kept myself calm.

Sumandal siya sa gilid at pinasadahan ako ng tingin. "Leaving this early in the morning? I don't think so, with your look like that."

I looked at myself. Pumunta ako sa may salamin and my jaw dropped a bit. I'm a mess! My hair and make up's a mess! Nanghihina akong napaupo sa kama. I can't go outside with an appearance as messy as this! My lipstick is smudged. What did I have in mind last night that I haven't used matte?! Idiot, Anne Claire!

Nagkaroon ng emosyon ang mga mata niya. It was like a dark and dangerous emotion. His jaw clenched.

"Good thing I got you." Marahang tugon niya at umalis. Hindi ako nakapagsalita at nakagalaw ng ilang segundo dahil sa pagkalito sa sinabi niya.

Pagkalabas niya ay sinundan ko na din siya. Naguguluhan pa rin ako ngunit ipinagsawalang bahala ko nalang iyon.

Nakaamoy ako ng mabangong amoy na siguradong galing sa pagkain. Naabutan ko siyang nagluluto ng pancakes. I stiffened when I saw how his biceps flexed. For how long I stared at him, I noticed the other changes in his body. And it's one of a hell sexy change.

I found myself nearly drooling at him, but I quickly went back to my senses. I sighed deeply. Pumunta ako sa kaniya at sinilip kung anong niluluto niya.

Nagulat ako nang makitang tapos na pala siyang magprepare.

"Blueberry pancakes with strawberry maple syrup? How did you know my favorite breakfast?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. Kumibit balikat siya at hindi nagsalita.

I sat in a chair far away from him, and he seemed to fully know why. He rolled his eyes and put down the plate contaning the pancakes and moved the chair beside mine. He sat in that chair. Damn it!

"Thank you, but you didn't have to prepare breakfast for me. I have to go." I smiled at him fakely and stood up. Just as I was about to leave, he called my name.
