Sober, I'll Come Over (Revelry Series #1)

Hakbang 5

Habang papalabas ng bar, hindi ko maiwasan mag-isip. Tila nawala ang tama ng alak sa akin at ngayon, nagiging resonable na sa mga naiisip.

What are we doing? I thought we'll stay at our own fucking line? Damn, alcohol! I broke my own words!

Maraming bumati sa akin habang papalabas ako. Panandalian pa ngang natigilan dahil sa mga nagpapakilala pero hindi na ako nagtagal.

Now that I'm sober, I can think straight. And this? This isn't right. What I am doing isn't right. I asked him to kiss me. Hindi iyon kasalanan ni Ram. Kasalanan ko.

Kaya ako rin ang aayos.

Agad akong sumakay sa kotse nang nakalapit. I am so damn nervous but I still managed to face him.

I can't believe my bodyguard will make me this nervous! Even those models or men I met abroad didn't affect me this way!

Why... him?

I sighed heavily and looked at him. He's handsome, alright! He's so fucking hot. He looked like a warrior with those sharp but beautiful eyes. His jawline can slice my skin and his nose is sculpted perfectly. His brows are thick which added more manliness to his already manly face and his lips... it looked so soft and red. No... it doesn't only look soft... it is really soft.

Huminga ako nang malalim at humugot nang lakas ng loob bago tuluyang nagsalita.

"Uhm... I'm sorry..."

"Drink this."

Natigilan kami nang nagkasabay sa pagsasalita. Our eyes met and he's handing me a bottled water.

Nakakunot ang noo nya at nakatitig sa akin. Tahimik kong tinanggap iyong tubig at hinawakan nang mahigpit. Tila roon ko kinukuha ang lakas ng loob na kailangan ko sa pag-uusap na ito.

"Sorry for what?" He asked after a long while.

Hindi na sya nakatingin sa akin. He's looking straight outside. Tinignan ko rin iyon at nakitang may iilang dumadaang mga lasing na rin at gumegewang gewang na.

I sighed again before answering him.

"For the teasings... For asking you to kiss me..." I said bravely.

I am at fault and I know when to apologize. I teased him, that's the truth.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at nilingon na lang rin ang bintana. This is really awkward.

"Let's just go back to what we were before all the kissing happened. You... guarding me... and me... not minding you..." I added.

Narinig ko ang singhap nya.

"Is that what you want?" Malamig ang boses nya.

Tumango ako ngunit hindi pa rin sya nilingon. Delikadong nakikita ko ang mukha nya. Parang may kung ano doon na lagi akong hinahatak papalapit sakanya.

"Yeah... and besides, I am not really your type, right?"

Inaasahan ko na ang sagot nya ngunit lumipas ang ilang saglit, nanatili syang tahimik. Nilingon ko sya kaya napalingon rin sya sa akin.

His eyes are cold and his brows furrowed. He licked his lips and looked away.

"Right, Ram?" I asked again.

He sighed heavily and nodded. Napangiti ako ng tipid. Inaasahan ko na 'yon. He told me that the first day he was hired to guard me.

What's his type, then?

"See... I am not your type so-"

Pinutol nya ang sasabihin ko.

"How 'bout you? Am I your type?" He asked.
