Clouded Memories

Chapter 22

"What will I know, Elaine?" I gulped at the view of his tender yet piercing eyes. He looked very stoic and confused at the same time, like he was trying to figure me out and what I've said.

I sighed before looking down. "Masama lang...araw ko ngayon. Maybe because I'm stressed with school?" I renewed my eyes at him, It is true I am very stressed but not only because of school.

I already graduated but I'm still studying since I want to have a better work place when I decide to be a licensed interior designer. In that way I'd get to earn more and discover more possibilities.

"Hmm, I can see that" Marahan niyang hinapit ang katawan ko sa katawan niya habang hinahaplos and beywang ko. I pursed my lips together before wrapping my arms around his waist and leaning on his strong chiseled shoulder.

I felt at peace, it somehow gave me comfort and love. "Sasali ako sa competition sa foundation day, isa na rin siguro 'yon sa dahilan" I felt him nod a bit.

"You shouldn't overwork yourself then" Ngumiti ako doon at saka tumango bago kumawala sa pagkayakap niya. He went closer to my face so our noses would touch, rocking me a bit.

I felt like we were in a movie, like those cheesy cliché scenes of couples. Those types that would bring butterflies inside your stomach, the kind that would make you believe that true love really does exist. You just have to wait for it.

"Since my boyfriend said so, I won't overwork myself then" He chuckled, I can feel his body shaking a bit because of that.

Eyes were twinkling like the night sky, he does really have spell casted on me. "Boyfriend...love that" I smiled sweetly at him before biting my lower lip.

"Can you...stay with me for the night? Okay lang naman kung...h-hindi" An amused smile etched on his lips before biting them like he's trying to stop it. Yumuko ako ng konti para suminghap.

"Would love to" He answered. I exclaimed before both of us entered my house. Nagpaalam muna kami kina mama at papa na asa kwarto na para naman aware sila.

They don't really bother that much if I would be in a same room at Adrian since they trust him so much, for an unknown reason...

"Medyo magulo pero atleast may higaan diba" I joked before sitting on my bed while he stood in front of the door that was still opened, when I realized that it was I quickly closed it so I can get his wrist and pulled him to sit on my bed.

"Upo ka" He sighed before doing what I've said, he looks very uncomfortable while his eyes were scanning my room. This is his first fime here so I get why he's very uncomfortable.

"Um, gusto mo ng juice? milk? o pagkain?" Umiling siya kaagad doon, he remained very distant like I was a virus that can make him ill when he comes any closer to me.

I gulped at that, hindi ko alam kung anong dapat kong gawin. Well, after all this is his first inside my room so he's not comfortable yet.

"It's okay you can get comfortable...I-I don't mind if you l-lie down" His jaw clenched before slicking his hair back, I came closer to him completely closing the distance between us.

He scanned be from head to toe before pulling the night dress I was wearing so it could cover my legs. Lumunok ako doon, his touch felt very nostalgic. The way it stroked my thigh made me feel different things I've felt before.

"I uh...didn't noticed that you were wearing a dress, earlier" He licked his lips while I was debating on whether or not I should change.

Did he not like what I'm wearing? Pero hindi ko naman alam na dadating siya. Well I was the one who called him but I didn't know I would call him so I didn't got any time to prepare what to wear!
