The Archer's Curse

47

I pushed him away before giving him a glare that made him laugh. Nag-bukas nalang ako ng tv at nanood sa Netflix. He was there all night binge watching with me while eating bunch of unhealthy foods. I swear Misha will absolutely go crazy if she knew about this at baka hindi na ako paalisin ng isang 'yon sa gym.

After so many episodes, Hera already texted me that everything is fine now. I felt relieved because of it kaya naman namili pa ako ng namili ng papanoorin. Jax looked so sleepy so hindi ko na siya pinapansin hanggang sa naramdaman ko ang biglaang pagdampi ng ulo niya sa balikat ko. He fell asleep.

"Jaxith" mahina kong tawag habang tinatapik ang pisngi niya.

Hindi siya sumasagot o kumikilos kaya naman hinayaan ko nalang siya. Inayos ko siya at pinahiga sa lap ko para hindi siya masyadong mangalay. Kinumutan ko na rin dahil malamig at baka magising pa. I can't help but stare at his face, it was so peaceful. A work of art indeed.

I remembered the first time I was able to see his face this close. It makes me feel the same thing all over again. His features got more intense and his hairstyle that looked like Flynn Rider's make him more attractive. His exposed forehead and perfect features are enough for me to admire.

How I wish I could just stare at him like this everyday but I can't. Tomorrow I had to go back to reality. My life with Shen, Lia, Axel and Chase. They are my priorities and I won't let my personal emotions get in the way of me protecting them. I don't know how long has it been but my eyes volunteered to close and I fell asleep.

Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw at agad na napatayo ng ma-realize ko na nasa kwarto ako. Did he carried me here last night? Or just this morning?

"Good morning," he smiled sweetly as he brought breakfast to me.

I felt guilty so I ran papunta sa banyo at agad na nag-sipilyo ay nag-hilamos. How can I even let him cook all the time?

"Ginising mo nalang sana ako" I murmured but he just smiled.

Kumuha siya ng pancake at sinubo 'yon sa akin kaya naman sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. After breakfast ay mabuti nalang at sinundo ako ni Hera dahil hindi ko alam kung paano makaka-alis doon. My whole system wanted me to stay, it's too hard to leave. I was so occupied the whole day na halos hindi ko namalayan na tapos na ang duty ko. Padabog akong tumayo at agad na nag-bihis para makauwi na ako.

I wore a simple black dress before going out of the office at halos matumba ako ng bumungad sa akin ang mukha ni Chase. Tatawa-tawa niyang tinignan ang reaction ko kaya naman pabiro ko siyang sinapak bago kami lumabas.

"Dinner?" he asked.

"Libre mo?" I mocked na ikina-ngiwi niya.

"Sa dinami-dami mong pera, libre parin ang lagi mong sagot ano?" ginulo niya ang buhok ko kaya naman siniko ko siya na agad niyang ikinatawa.

I showed him my wallet na tanging five hundred lang ang laman. "See? Gipit ako." I said.

"Duda ako diyan, pahiram ng mga card mo" he flicked his brows at me kaya naman inirapan ko siya bago kami dumeretso sa kotse niya.

He knows I usually don't withdraw and just use my cards.

Mabuti nalang at wala akong dalang kotse dahil magiging sagabal pa. I saw the other car where my body guards are, following me. I even had to call Misha to tell them to stop dahil kasama ko naman si Chase. We went into a restaurant and the customers started looking at us so I rolled my eyes as Chase pulled a chair for me.

"Magnet ka ba ng babae?" I asked him and he just laughed.

"Ikaw ang tinitignan nila, magnet ka ba ng lalaki?" he asked back.
