Chapter 7-Carbonara

Past

It was our last day here in Poctoy. We will go back this afternoon and that thought alone made me gloomy earlier that morning.

I didn't want to leave this place yet. It feels like if I came back to our house, everything will go back to normal too. Like Liam's feelings for me. Well, don't blame me for doubting Liam's feelings because he confessed early. It's just felt so surreal. So hard to believe. What if he realized that he's just attracted to me and what he feel is nothing serious? Aasa lang ako.

"Girl, bangon na. Last day na natin 'to, swimming na tayo ng bongga." Veny said with her usual high pitch voice while pulling me up, not so gently.

"Careful naman. I feel like you're intentionally pulling me harshly to break my bone." I said, irritated.

"Bangon na nga kasi!" She shouted. I groaned and covered my ears.

"Do you really have to shout?!" I spatted. She just rolled her eyes and jump her way out of the room, leaving me annoyed.

I breath out a heavy sigh and got up on the bed to do my routines. My clothes are already packed up because I don't want to bother packing later at night because I'll probably get lazy and just go to sleep.

After changing my clothes, a white cropped top off shoulder and a high-waisted denim short, I went out of the room and the blazing sun welcomed me immediately.

I let my slightly brown curly hair down which I regret eventually because I figured out it's so hot outside. So as I was walking my way to my friends who were already eating, I was tying my hair into a bun.

My eyes met Liam who was watching me intently as I was nearing them.

"Dito ka." He mouthed and pointed the unoccupied seat at his right.

My eyes went to his left side and found Bianca sitting there while shamelessly looking at Liam. The audacity of this girl! I felt the boiling feeling within me so I immediately sat down beside Liam, who doesn't care at his surrounding so he didn't notice Bianca staring at her which was a good thing because, I swear if I saw him talking to her, I'd probably lash out. Nah, that was OA, and I don't think you can't do that. Said the other side of my brain.

"Mornin' " he greeted huskily.

I greeted him too and gave him a small smile.

I got the rice and put a little amount on my plate and was about to put back the rice but Liam held my wrist, stopping me from doing it.

I faced him with my brows knitted, confused at his sudden action. "You should put more. You're so skinny that I think if I blow you off, you'd fly away." He said.

That was offensive.

He got the plate of rice on my hands and put a load of rice on my plate! My eyes widen a fraction. How can I eat all of those?!

"Hey, I can't all of that!" I protested. But he just shrugged and get the bowl with adobo in it.

My plate has load of foods that people who was passing by were disgustingly looking at me like I am the most matakaw they saw in the whole universe! What the hell, ha!

Liam was looking satisfied with what he did, while I am here, miserable, thinking of an excuse to escape.

"There! Eat that, 'kay?" He grinned.

I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my arms over my chest.

"I'm on a diet."

I looked down on my plate and winced. If I didn't eat these, Liam will get mad and if I eat it, I will get fat!!! Is there any other choices?!
