Games on Blazing Flames (Flames Series #1)

Chapter 16

Staring

"Why are you here?!" Gulat parin ako na makita siya sa tabi ko. Narinig ko pa ang tawanan nila Tito Abel sa kabila. Mukhang kanina pa nila alam na nandito siya, noong tulog pa ko.

"I'll go to New York, too," he said and turned to the flight attendant nang abutan siya nito ng baso ng tubig.

"How about you, Ma'am?" She asked me.

"Tea, please." She nodded and I turned to Sage. "Bakit ka papunta ng New York?" I asked.

"Just want to travel." Ngumisi siya habang ako naman ay nanliliit ang mga matang tiningnan siya.

Travel? Sa dami ng lugar sa New York niya gustong magtravel?

"Are you stalking me?"

"Stalk?" He said and laughed. "I just knew you'd miss me so I decided to go to New York, too."

See?! He didn't deny it! And miss? Who? Him?

"What? Bakit naman kita mamimiss?" He shrugged. "Kanina ka pa dito?"

"Of course," he said then chuckled.

Oo nga naman, Chant! Hindi naman pwedeng ngayon lang siya napunta sa tabi mo, hindi naman siya lumilipad! He's a pilot but he surely can't fly!

"Here's your tea, Ma'am," the flight attendant said. I said my thanks to her while my eyes are still fixed on Sage's. May sinabi pa ang flight attendant sa amin na hindi ko na nasundan dahil abala sa pagtingin sa katabi ko.

"You even used your connection with Sartorius Airlines just so you can have the seat beside me," I stated and rolled my eyes but he just responded with his boyish grin.

"At least you won't get bored while traveling to New York," he said and winked. I pursed my lips and looked away, stealthily acknowledging that what he said wasn't exactly wrong...

"How about your work?"

"I'm on leave."

Wow... he must really enjoy the privilege of being the owner's son. He could have his leave whenever he wants and he could even have access to passengers' flights!

Our flight's nonstop kaya pagdating sa New York ay pagod ako kahit na halos pagtulog lang ang ginawa ko para lang maiwasan ang katabi kong puro panglalandi ang ginawa, take note hindi lang sa akin! Kausap niya pa ang mga flight attendants na halatang may gusto sa kaniya! Napapairap nalang ako.

Hindi na ako nagulat nang malaman na sa parehong hotel din siya nakabook. Bakit pa? He's good at this... Noong sa Siargao palang, though he denied that, but I know that was a lie.

"See? Sinundan ka pa?" Bulong ni Jana habang kausap ni Sage si Tito Abel.

"What's your point?" Tanong ko kahit naintindihan ko naman na.

"That he really likes you." She winked and finally stopped teasing me when Sage faced us.

"Let's have lunch first," aniya.

"Okay, let's just meet at the lounge."

"No, I'll pick you up outside your room." Kumunot ang noo ko but I just shrugged it off. Hinatid niya ko sa room ko at siya ang may dala sa dalawang suitcases ko habang sila Tito Abel ay pumasok na sa room nila adjacent to mine.

"Saan ang room mo?" I asked.

"Across your room."

Binaba ko ang Gucci tote bag ko sa kama at pinanliitan siya ng mata habang nakahalukipkip.

"What an excellent stalker," I said and he just laughed.

Kaya pala gusto niyang sunduin ako sa room ko para sa lunch, kaharap lang pala ng hotel room ko ang kaniya. Siraulo talaga. I can't believe he's this desperate to be with me! Kung hindi ko siya kilala ay matatakot ako dahil baka iisipin kong obsessed siya sakin.
