Masked Reality (#2 of Guilberra Series)✔

Chapter 14

Gin

I grabbed my bag and made my way upstairs, left hallway, second to the last. Napalingon lang ako sa may kanan ko at napansin na maraming paintings, habang sa kabila naman ay plain lang.

Naglakad lang ako sa may kaliwang hallway at nakita ang kwarto ko. As usual maganda parin, a queen sized bed displayed at the center of the room, some wardrobe, comfort room and honestly, parang buong bahay na itong kwarto ko eh.

I put my bags down while closing the door.

"Gin! you might want to take this clothes with you!" Darius yelled. His baritone voice echoed around the house.

I then quickly opened the door to see him towering me. His hands were carrying a lot of bags and so I have to help him.

Placing the bags down, I crossed my arms, facing him while he stood there staring at the ground.

"Get some rest Gin.." He said, giving me a pat on the back. I slowly nodded proccessing the gesture that he gave.

We stood there, silent for a while. But a loud meow interrupted the silence.
My eyebrows shot up in disbelief, I can't believe na may pusa sa bahay.

Suddenly, a black cat with white accent complimenting it's body, made it's way towards me. I stared at the cat for a while before looking back at Darius.

"You brought Sylvester? Akala ko ba, naiwan siya sa bahay ng mga magulang mo?" I asked, clearly amused, and a little happy.

"Ah..oo, I requested them to bring Sylvester, so I would'nt be too lonely in here." He muttered, carrying the furry cat on his arms. Napailing lang ako at lumapit sa kanya. My face was mere inches with him, plastering a mischievious smile, I poked his chest while looking at him straight in the eye.

His swirling chestnut orbs held embarrasment and shock, while the cat purred in his arms.

Well you're not lonely, I'm here, and I could be all you need." I whispered seductively, holding competition with Sylvester.

Actually, I just want to see his flustered face, and besides, I'm too tired to notice my sudden change of trait.

He then groaned quietly, putting Sylvester down. His eyes match the intensity of my nut brown ones.

My eyes trailed down to his shirt, his polo shirt compliments his figure. Well I don't know why pero almost lahat ng mga baklang nakikita ko puro polo ang sinusuot.

"What are you doing Gin..?" He said, sighing like he held his breath for a long time.

I then took one last look on his face before coming back to my senses. God why does his eyes look like tempting me to kiss him?

Napailing lang ako at itinulak siya papalayo sa akin.

"Sorry, I got carried away." I apologized, avoiding his questioning gaze. He then nodded, looking disappointed, but I ignored it, as it was probably my mind playing tricks again.

"Get rest then.." He whispered, a hint of dismay evident in his tone. He walked away, with Sylvester following him.

Closing the door, I then locked it sliding myself against the door. Gin...get yourself together. I reminded myself.

A lot of questions showered my mind. Is he gay? yes. Is he trying to seduce me? maybe, but it's mutual seducing.

Is this part of our pretend girlfriend act? I don't fucking know.

I clenched my fist, raising my head to notice the paiting that was placed across the room.

As I examine it, I noticed some familiar faces in the picture, but then I realized that this is actually a portrait of the Guilberra family, and it was acutally signed by the gay himself.

I took my time to appreciate the picture. Sinong magaakalang ang oh-so-perfect family ng mga Guilberra ay maskara lang pala ng totoong kulay nila.

Of course, they like to mask their identity, and even they could mask the identity of people.

Even me.

Napailing lang ako at napatingin sa paligid, the satisfying silence made me crawl to my bed.

Darius

I sighed, angry at myself for being confused. I mean, ganon ba talaga yung ginagawa ko kay Gin?

Does it make her uncomfortable?

Sighing again. I made my way to my room, preparing my outfit for the meeting tomorrow, and looking calm is'nt gonna help my nervousness.

I sighed straightening my tux, I walked back admiring the black tied tux.

"Phew..kalma lang.." I muttered under my breath, I mean, sino bang kakalma pagdating sa tito ko?

Ever since nung tumira ako sa kanya, wala siyang ginawa kundi mag train, train, choo choo.

Di joke lang.

Pero oo nga, he always wants to make me a better person- no

A perfect person.

Sabi nga niya na hindi pwede sa business ang lampa, kaya nag martial arts training ako. Sabi rin niya na kailangan alam ko ang lahat.

I learned everthing. anything. Para lang ma please siya, but then I'm still missing something. Well according to him.

I shrugged at my thoughts knowing that it won't help my fear, napahiga lang ako sa aking kama.

and after that, I'm asleep.

A/N

I'm so sorry about the pacing of the story, a lot has been happening lately and I can't think of a chapter.

Anyways! Stay safe!
