Because I Love You

14| Unwanted Seatmate

"Hi, Love," I smiled at Travis through the camera.

My heart ached a little upon watching him move around his room, preparing for a class. It's an obvious thing that he just got out of the shower.

"Love, kumain ka na ba?" Trav asked while wearing his pants.

"Yep. I ate my dinner before I went here," I replied.

"Did the driver pick you up from work?" he asked, now he's buckling his belt.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes. And how many times do I have to tell you that I don't need a driver?"

"You need that, Love. Para nakakapahinga ka sa byahe. Mahirap mag-commute. Pagod ka na nga sa trabaho mo, mahihirapan ka pa mag-commute papasok sa klase mo. Trust me, it's a big help." Trav smiled then sat in front of his laptop.

There's a twelve-hours time difference between us. It's seven in the evening here while it's seven in the morning there.

"Have you had your breakfast?" I asked while looking at his face. It's been four months. I miss him so bad.

"I'll just grab some on my way to the campus, Love." He smiled at me.

I miss him but I'm not telling him. Baka 'pag sinabi ko kasi, bigla na lang s'yang umuwi dito.

"How's work?" He asked while keeping his charming smile.

"It's fine. Medyo madaming ipinapagawa 'yong supervisor sa akin." I rolled my eyes. "Sometimes she's even grabbing the credits."

Travis chuckled. "Madami talagang gan'on. Those people who'll kiss the boss's ass for promotion."

"The very reason why I don't want to tell anyone that I am Travis Lawrence Amante's girlfriend," I giggled. "I don't want any special treatment."

"You're not working on our company, Love," Trav sighed.

"You have connections, and it's fine this way, Love. Normal people start their careers this way."

"Uh-huh." He raised a brow. My favorite reaction from him.

"God! I miss you." Hindi ko na napigilan.

"Love, four months out of two years pa lang tayo. We still have a long way to go," Trav chuckled.

"I know, Love." I smiled.

My eyes flew on the door of the room. Some classmates entered. I am always the first one to arrive.

"Some of my classmates arrived," I informed him.

"Alright. Text me when you get home," Trav said then pouted as if kissing me.

I chuckled. "Take care, okay? I love you."

"I love you too, Tia. Always take care of yourself. Mag-ingat ka sa pag-uwi mamaya."

I rolled my eyes. "I have a driver, Trav."

A gentle smile formed my lips as I listen to his laughter. "Yes, Love. I'll call your driver to tell him to take care of you. Papakasalan pa kita at mamahalin habangbuhay."

I bit my lip. "Smooth."

Muling tumawa ang mahal ko. "Sige na, Love. Baka pa-start na ang klase mo. I love you. Take care, okay?"

"I love you, Trav." I sweetly smiled at him.

I ended the call then put my phone on my bag.

My attention was caught by the man who sat beside me. This is the first time someone took a seat beside me.
