Montepalma Series 2: Trapped by His Game

TBHG 34

Chapter 34 | TBHG

I was crying while reading our conversation because until now he wasn't still giving me some updates or calls. The last time we saw each other was his birthday. I'm being emotional right now because I miss his touch and his voice.

I don't have any idea what happened to him. I kept waiting for him to call me through Facetime because it is our night routine before we go to sleep. But right now... he hasn't called me for how many days. Crying my lungs out while laying on my bed. I can't even get him off my mind. He owns every fiber of my body— I want him right now.

I even tried to call him but he wasn't answering my calls. I tried to pep talk myself that he might be busy finding Hansen wherever he was right now! But I have these feelings that he ghosted me. I kept overthinking about him last night until now.

When I felt my phone beeped, I immediately checked my message. My smile melted when I saw Silver's message for me.

From: Silver

What food do you want to eat later?

I exhaled sharply. Even though my heart is aching right now because I miss Nik, I tried to type in my reply for him. Now I remember we had a deal that I needed to date him in exchange for donating money.

To: Silver

No tomato sauce and mayonnaise please. Thank you.

From: Silver

Oh, that's weird! But okay... I'll take note of that. :)

To: Silver

Thank you. See you later.

From: Silver

You are like dandruff.

My forehead creased in his odd text messages. Pakiramdam ko na umurong iyong luha ko kasi ang random mag text sa akin ni Silver. Kahit gano'n ay nagtitipa pa rin ako ng reply para sa kaniya.

To: Silver

Huh?

From: Silver

I just cannot get you out of my head no matter how I try...

I blinked for a split-second trying to comprehend his text messages. I don't want to assume anything but I knew he likes me. If he is not interested in me, why is he wasting his time to text me and have a dinner date at the yacht? I know we had a deal but I think it's not about the deal anymore.

To: Silver

I'm sorry. I want to say that I'm taken.

I let out a heavy breath then put my phone on the nightstand. Pinching the bridge of my nose while thinking about Nik. Maybe I am sick right now, and I feel that without my boyfriend here beside me makes me weak.

Fuck. I'm being dramatic again.

I need to eat something sweet right now because I am craving it. I stood up lazily out of my bed and headed to the kitchen to find some sweets to eat this afternoon. I saw my father making some brewed coffee on the coffee countertop. Dad's eyes were watching me curiously.

"Hi, Dad," I greeted.

I was still finding some sweets in the fridge. I saw some carrot cupcakes that Baby bought from the bakery yesterday and one tub of ice cream. Lumapit ako sa pwesto ni Dad para kumuha ng plato at kutsara para sa ice cream.

"Are you sick?" Dad's voice sounded concerned. "Your employee told me that you were sick. Are you okay?"

"I'm good, I guess." I was still not sure if I'm okay because sometimes I am not okay. I went to the fridge again to get two cupcakes from the box and grabbed a tub of vanilla almond ice cream. "How about you? How's work?"
