My Life With You

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

A pair of tantalizing eyes welcomed me the moment I opened my eyes. Napabalikwas ako ng bangon na ikinagulat ni Calvin. He fixed himself while I am massaging my temple when dizziness consumed my system.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Anong nangyari?" balik tanong ko, not minding his question.

Tumayo siya at kinuha ang tray na may pagkain sa side table. Lumapit siya sa akin at muling umupo sa tabi ko.

"Eat," he commanded lazily.

"What happened?" I questioned again and received the food. Mayroon ding gamot do'n, marahil ay sa sakit ng ulo.

"Well, you fainted. Ang dami mo kasing ininom," he said in an irritated voice.

Ngumuso ako habang hinihilot pa rin ang aking sentido. That whole damn truth or dare thing is a disaster! That night was one heck of an embarrassing moment that I will never forget. I have never been so embarrased my entire life but yesternight. And I am blaming the person in front me about that.

Pinagsawalang bahala ko na lamang iyon at sinimulan ko na ang pagkain ngunit bahagya akong natigilan dahil sa tingin niya sa akin. Nagtataka akong nagtaas ng kilay sa kanya dahil inaasahan ko na ang pag-alis niya ngunit hindi manlang siya gumalaw sa kanyang pwesto.

"What?" he confusingly asked. Napalunok ako dahil sa paraan ng pagtitig niya sa 'kin.

"Uhm.. thank you?" naging tunog pagtatanong ang paraan ng pagkakasabi ko kaya bahagya siyang natawa. Napapahiya akong nagbaba ng tingin.

"For?"

"Nevermind."

Binalot kami ng katahimikan matapos iyon. I was about to speak when the door shut open. Carlos is hurriedly walking towards me. May kasama rin siyang lalaki na hindi pamilyar sa akin.

"Are you okay?" he worriedly asked.

Tanging tango lamang ang naisagot ko sa kanya. Nilingon ko naman si Calvin na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin umaalis. I wonder why. Maybe he's guilty of what he did last night. Tiningnan niya ako ng nakakunot noo kaya tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at umiwas ng tingin. Bumaling ako kay Carlos ng may nagtatakang tingin na agad niyang naintindihan.

"Charm, this is Dr. Sanchez, a friend... and son of our family doctor. He's here to check on you," he explained, not taking his eyes off me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Aiden Sanchez," he introduced in a low and manly voice.

Nagugulat akong napatingin sa kanya, hindi ko akalain na doktor siya. Siguro'y magaling talaga sa larangan ng medisina ang kanilang pamilya.

"I thought it's just because of too much alcohol?" baling ko kay Carlos.

"Uh-huh. But you still need a check up," he demanded.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "My gosh! You're overreacting,"

"Ang tigas kasi ng ulo mo," he said and flicked my forehead. I restrained myself from sticking out my tongue at him.

Tumikhim si Dr. Sanchez kung kaya't natigil kaming dalawa. His hair were midnight black and his eyes were dark brown, framed by graceful brows. His skin was a bit tanned. He had prominent cheekbones and a well-defined chin and nose. His aura screamed gentleness.

I think I have a huge crush on him now. I blushed at my own thought. Hindi ko na maiwas ang titig ko sa kanya.

He patted Calvin's shoulder to acknowledge his presence and walked towards me. He smiled at me so I smiled back. He checked my vital signs. Sinuri niya rin ang mga pantal sa katawan ko na ngayon ko lang din napansin. I was just looking at him while he's doing that.
