Keeping a secret love | Juan Gomez de Liano

Kabanata 23

Juan explained that he only do that because of a request. Na kwento ko din sa kanya yung mga nakita ko sa social media, nagulat siya. Now he understand bakit hindi ako nagparamdam ng ilang araw.

"I'm real jealous of that man earlier, Eli?" Tumingin siya sakin.

"We're doing nothing," I shrugged.

"We're doing nothing, eh? He has something on you, Kaela. You're so innocent!" Nag iwas siya ng tingin. I chuckled.

"The sixth man of the team is a jealous baby huh," I teased him, sinamaan niya lang ako ng tingin.

Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa kanyang balikat. My safest haven. I am sober.

Naramdaman ko ang palad niya sa aking pisngi. He caressing it.

"So, what's your decision, Jayne?" We're both looking at the view.

"I think, I can't let you go..." I said with a low voice.

Napabuntong hininga siya.

"What if I hurt you again?" Halos pabulong niyang sabi.

"Then let's deal with it. Pero hindi ka naman ulit gagawa ng bagay na alam mong makakasakit sakin 'di ba?" Napatingin ako sa kanya.

"What if unintentional?" He look in my eyes.

"I can deal with it," I said with finality.

"Sorry, if I'm being stubborn. Even life gets hard, promise I'll be by your side. We can do it as long we're together. Ang dami ko ng napagdaanan, Juan. I can't give up you and my goals." Naramdaman ko nanaman ang nag babadyang luha.

"Shh, I promise to stay by your side as long as you want me to," He hold me hand and played it.

It's almost 3AM when we decided to go home. I checked Hashia's room if she's already there but I think she's not planning to go home tonight. Malapit ata ang condo ni Irene sa bar na pinuntahan namin kanina.

"Do you want to sleep here?" I asked Juan.

"You want me to? Hashia is staying on the guest room," Ah so he stayed in the guest room last last night. I see.

"In my room," Tinalikuran ko siya. But he hold me wrist.

"Are you.. sure?" Nag a-alangan niyang tanong sakin.

"Yes, go get your gym bag." Sure naman akong meron siya non sa sasakyan niya, since then ganon naman siya.

As I entered my room, binaba ko lang ang pouch ko and dumeretso na ko sa rest room para mag shower. It takes me 20 minutes to wash up, I wore a velvet shorts and a lose white shirt. I caught Juan is half asleep on my couch. I immediately woke him up to clean.

"Hey," I tapped his shoulder and he was shocked with what I wore.

"You should clean yourself up," Nagmadali siyang tumayo at kinuha ang hinanda kong tuwalya sa kanya. I chuckled. Sleepy head.

I scrolled in my social media account and I saw his story in instagram. A silhouette photo of mine in a city lights.

juangdl: my cry bubi  

What?! 

I replied: I hate you.

Nakita ko siyang palabas ng banyo, he wore a white nike sando and a gray sweat shorts above his knee. He chuckled and I realize that I was staring at him. Wait, he caught me staring?!!!!

I throw a pillow on him, he's still laughing. 

"Cry baby your face!" I said. I hide under my comforter.
