Treacherous Battle (Salvaje Caballero Series 2)

Once

Kazee's POV

Hindi na ako nakatulog dahil sa sinabi ni Nathan. Instead of worrying about my issues, I am hearing his last words. It echoed in my head.

"Mahal na ata talaga kita." bulong ko at inulit ang sinabi niya.

"Ahhhhhhh!" I buried my face in my pillow and screamed so loud.

I can't contain what I feel inside, it's just too much! It's too much for me to take!

"Dapat ba hinalikan ko siya?" Tanong ko sa sarili.

Nang hawakan ko ang dibdib ay mas kumbog pa ito. What should've I said? The feeling is mutual? Arghh! This is so frustrating!

Napabalikwas ako nang marinig ang katok sa kwarto. "Kaz, dinner is ready." Rinig kong sambit ni Nathan.

Agad akong naalarma. Pumunta ako sa closet ko at nagbihis. I wore blue halter top and high waisted shorts paired with black heels. I even tied my hair into a bun and put make up!

I clapped when I looked at myself on the mirror. Did I overdress? Bakit ba? He said dinner, I have to look pretty okay?

Nang makalabas sa kwarto ay dumiretso ako sa kusina. Nathan is already preparing our food. Halos napatigil siya nang makita ako.

"Are you going somewhere?" His voice was cold. What is he saying?

"Wala bakit?"

Nagtataka ko siyang tinignan. I cleared my throat when I realized I overdressed. Bakit pa kasi ako nagpalit?

"Let's eat." aya ko at naupo na sa hapag.

His eyes remained serious but eventually his lips rosed. Nangaasar ang mukha niya habang kumukuha ng kanin. I felt so embarassed but I remained stoic.

"Did you dress up for dinner?" He teased me.

"It's our first dinner as a couple." I nonchantaly blurted out.

He bit his lip as if very amused. "You should've told me so I wore tuxedo." asar pa niya.

"You know what? Kumain ka mag isa mo." Pikon kong sambit at hindi ginalaw ng pagkain.

Tumawa lang siya habang ako naman ay parang sasabog na. Agad kaming nagkatinginan nang marinig ang tunog ng doorbell.

I raised my eyebrow. "Who are you expecting?" I glared at him.

Nagkibit balikat lang siya at tumayo para tignan ang bisita. Agad ko naman siyang sinundan. The sound of my heels echoed as I tailed him.
