Will You Catch Me If I Fall?

Chapter 23

I'm currently in the bathroom drying my hair and wearing my robe. Lumabas ako ng banyo at dahan dahan pumunta sa aking cabinet. Clynton's asleep in the sofa bed. I didn't want to wake him up. Things are still pretty confusing for the both of us. After last night, We stayed silent and decided to go to bed. He decided to sleep in the sofa bed at ako naman ay natulog sa kama ko. He wasn't able to reserve a room for him in the resort dahil short notice din ang pag punta nya.

I took my maroon one piece bikini and my denim short tsaka ako nag palit sa banyo. I don't know what's coming between us but I do know that I can't push him away. He just said it last night, that he'll keep chasing me down whatever it takes.

Why me? Talaga bang may feelings sya sa akin or I'm just really one of his collections just like what Reagan told me? Hindi ko na alam, All I know is that I'm still afraid of risking my heart again.. Paano pala kung hindi tunay lahat ng pinapakita nya sa akin? After all, he's Clynton Evans. He can get any girl he wants pero bakit ako?

"Good morning.." Clynton

He said this with a sleepy voice. Tapos na ako mag ayos at sandals na lamang ang kailangan ko para makababa so I can have breakfast with my parents. I didn't want to wake him up because I don't know how to approach him at all.

"I like you better with my gray t-shirt last night." Clynton

"Good morning. I'm about to grab breakfast with Mama and Papa." Sophia

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Clynton

"You look tired, I didn't want to bother you." Sophia

Bumangon na si Clynton sa sofa bed at nag inat ito. Laking gulat ko ng makita kong wala syang t-shirt at tanging shorts lamang ang suot nya. Agad ako napaiwas ng tingin dito. Damn, why do I always have to be in an awkward situation with him?

"I'm sorry, I can't sleep with my shirt on. It was hot, aayaw ko naman lakasan ang AC baka lamigin ka." Clynton

Tumayo na ito at dumiretso sa banyo.

"Can you wait for me? I'll be quick. Mag ha-half bath lamang ako." Clynton

Tumango lamang ako sakanya at tuluyan na nya sinara ang pintuan ng banyo. Natutuyo ang lalamunan ko at walang mga salitang lumalabas dito. Lagi na lang ako natatahimik dahil sakanya! It's so obvious. Man, the things that he can make me feel can't let me talk..

Umupo ako sa kama at tinext si Kuya na mala-late ako ng konti sa breakfast. I also got a message from Eli kaya agad ko ito binuksan.

From: Eli

Sophia, Nakita mo ba si Clynton? The staff said kayo ang nakita nila na huling mag kasama kagabi, I don't know kung saan sya nag stay. Tito Apollo keeps asking me about him.

Nag paalam ba si Clynton sa tatay nya? Bakit sya naitatanong kay Eli? Should I tell Eli that Clynton was in my room the whole night? That would sound weird..

I replied

To: Eli

Eli, I'm sorry I haven't seen him since last night. I'll call him.

I'm so bad at lying.

Natapos na si Clynton at lumabas ito ng nakatapis lamang ang towel sa kanyang kalahati ng katawan. Napaiwas muli ako ng tingin at nag focus sa aking cellphone.. How can he walk around like that?! Ganyan din ba sya pag ibang babae ang nakakakita sakaniya?
