Steady Rhythms of Love (Ryker Series #2)

SROL [5]

For a moment, I just stared at my phone screen. My mind is trying to process what was happening. He wanted to follow me?

I mean, come on, Gray! This ain't a big deal! Siguradong nakita niya lang ang account ko dahil na-like ko ang post niya!

I turned off my cell phone before gently touching my chest. My heart is beating so fast!

"What's wrong with your face? Did you even sleep?" Zeke asked me the next morning.

Mukhang tapos na siyang nag-jogging. Nakaligo at nakapagbihis na rin. Patapos na rin siyang kumain ng almusal pero heto ako at naghihintay na dalawin ng antok. I couldn't sleep last night!

"What's our breakfast?" I asked, ignoring his questions.

"I cooked bacon and sunny side up," he answered.

I sat down lazily which made him stand up to prepare for my food.

"Thanks," I said.

"I'm going to buy some stuff later. Do you have something to do today?"

"Matutulog."

"Well, you have no choice. Mom asked me to buy groceries. I need your help with that."

Sinamaan ko kaagad siya ng tingin kaya naman pagkatapos kong kumain ay naligo at nagbihis na kaagad ako. Groceries lang naman so I just wore a black shorts, a polo shirt top, and my flip flops.

"What particular stuff are you going to buy?" I asked while trying to take a nap in his car.

"Gym stuff. We need it for training," he answered.

I took out my cell phone and checked the notifications again. Blade's name is still on my follow request. I'm still not sure if I'll accept it or not.

Inuna namin ang mga kailangan niya but since magbabayad na lang naman at ipapadeliver, hindi na ako bumaba ng kotse.

"Saan tayo maggogrocery? Why are we taking this way?" I asked when I noticed that we're taking the wrong direction.

"I need to show them what I bought. I will also be giving the receipts."

We stopped in front of an open court. I could hear voices and the sound of the ball dribbling on the floor but I couldn't see who was playing inside because there was a barrier.

"This will only take a few minutes," he said before leaving.

I entertained myself by watching Mikko and his band's performance last night at Friends and Lovers. Halos mapanood ko na ata lahat ng performance nila pero hindi pa rin bumabalik si Zeke.

I was planning on calling him na pero bago ko pa man magawa ay kumatok na siya sa bintana kung saan ako nakaupo.

I rolled down the window. "What's taking you so long? Akala ko ba saglit lang?" I asked, running out of patience.

"Our team captain is still busy. If you don't mind, you can come inside. There are no other people beside the players," he told me.

"Ayoko. I'll just take a nap while waiting for you. You can take your time but not too much—"

"Your crush is inside."

My brows furrowed. "What crush are you talking about?"

"Blade is inside." He smirked. "You sure you won't come in? I won't convince you again to come inside once I leave."

Mabilis ko siyang sinamaan ng tingin bago tinanggal ang seatbelt ko. I heard him chuckle as he opened the door for me.

When I entered, the first thing my eyes immediately saw was Blade talking to someone.
