Chapter 67: Fire

We both ate with joy. Pero nahihiya pa rin ako. It really didn't come up to my mind that I would be able to do such thing... Not that I regret it. Hindi ko talaga inakala. At hindi ko rin inakalang magmamahal ako ng ganito. Hindi ko rin inakala na may lalake pa palang katulad ni Dark and fortunately, sa'kin siya napunta. I feel so lucky to have him in my life.

Habang kumakain kami at nag-uusap, nagambala kami dahil sa katok sa pinto. We looked at each other for a few moments before he stood up and went to the door.

"Kuya, where's Zaya? Dito ba siya matutulog?"

I was relieved that it was Julia. Akala ko kung sino... But her question... dito nga ba ako matutulog? Well... My cheeks blushed. Damn, nakakailang pa din! But I want to stay here. I want to cuddle with Dark all night long.

"I'll ask her,"

I then heard footsteps. Then I saw Dark, Julia, and Godwin.

"Kumain na ba kayo?" I asked the couple.

"Oo tapos na. Actually, doon ako kina Godwin magdamag. At ihahatid niya ako sa dorm natin pero napagdesisyunan kong pumunta muna dito at tanungin ka kung uuwi ka sa dorm natin o dito ka matutulog sa dorm ni Kuya."

"Dito na lang ako matutulog," I answered and I saw Dark's surprised face and he was trying to hide a smile.

"Should I bring you some clothes?"

"Okay lang, Juls. No need. Manghihiram na lang ako kay Dark. Tutal, komportable naman ako sa damit niya." I said and I finished my food.

Julia smirked. "Okay, then. Sige, aalis na kami. Goodnight sa inyong dalawa!"

"Ingat kayo," Ani Dark at hintaid sina Julia at Godwin sa labas.

A few moments later, I heard the lock of the doorknob and I heard Dark's footsteps. I'm currently washing the dishes.

Nagitla ako ng niyakap niya ako mula sa likod. I can't help but to smile.

"Thanks for staying with me tonight,"

I'm smiling so wide right now. "You don't need to thank me. I just want to stay."

All turned out great today and before my eyes drifted to sleep in Dark's arms, there was a smile plastered on my face. Can I sleep like this forever?

I woke up because I felt Dark was not on my side. And I could smell smoke... Agad naman akong nag-panic. I shouldn't panic but I couldn't stop myself! What if the dorm is already on fire?

I immediately got up from bed. I can really smell the smoke all over the place! "Dark? Dark! W-Where are you?"

"Baby, I'm here..." Dark turned the light on and went to me.

"W-What happened? Why do I smell smoke?" I asked him while he's hugging me.

"May sunog sa labas,"

I immediately got out of bed and went to the window to see.

May sunog nga! Nasusunog ang mga halaman. But I can't see what plants are on fire but there's fire!

"Let's check it out, Dark. Baka ano na ang nangyayari!"

"No, baby. You should stay here."

"I can't stay here! What if something happened to Julia?"

"I'll check it out myself. Stay here!"
