Never Have Love At All (Las Mujeres Fuertes Series #1)

CHAPTER 09

"Uh, good morning." Bati ko kay Ryle pagkalabas ko ng bathroom.

Agad akong nag-iwas nang tingin at umupo nalang sa kama. Tahimik pa siya at mukhang wala pa sa sarili. Ako yung nahihiya sa nakita ko kanina! Like, we did really cuddle ba? For real, sa buong gabi? Aware ba siya?

Pinilig ko ang ulo para alisin ang mga pisting kabaliwan sa utak ko. I heaved a sighed before I stood up and decided to go for a sight in the balcony.

"Morning," he quietly said before I even made it outside.

I smiled at him before I excused myself. The cold wind immediately brushed on my body. The pristine water is shining comely. Agad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko para kumuha nang pictures at video para sa ig story ko. I even sent some aesthetics to Aza. He likes it plus I want him to wake up with something so beautiful.

May training parin siya ngayong araw. I suggested him to rest but he refused though. Okay lang din naman since he badly needs to prepare for his upcoming race in Abu Dhabi. Last race na raw niya iyon for this season. I really don't understand and seriously muntik na akong magka-headache nung nagkwento siya. He shared a lot of things that I will never understand since I have zero knowledge about racing stuffs. I need layman's term, Aza! All I got were LMP1, LMP2, IndyCar Series, and those Formula 1 or whatsoever!

"Hey..."

"Ay shit!" Napalingon ako kay Ryle na nakabihis na at kakaligo lang. He smiled at me before leaning on the glass wall of the balcony. "Sorry, nagulat ako." I added.

He smiled. "Let's have breakfast or maliligo ka muna?"

"Uh, gutom ka na ba? Anong oras nga yung kasal?" I asked.

"4 pa. You can take a bath first. I'll wait you here." He said, watching how the sun rise up for today.

I abruptly nodded. "Sandali lang. Mabilis lang ako."

I immediately excused myself to take a bath. I saw him talking to someone on his phone while I'm getting my clothes to wear. I go for something casual since Ryle's just wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Mabilis lang din ang ginawa kong ligo dahil maliligo naman ulit ako mamaya. I wore a denim shorts paired with a white off-shoulder top and my strappy sandals. I also let my hair down and put some powder on my face plus tints for my lips.

"Are you done?" He asked when I went out of the bathroom.

I nodded. "Yas, let's go?"

"Okay," he mumbled. "By the way, your phone keeps ringing on minutes ago." He added before he opened the door.

I followed him and checked my phone. I bit my lower lip as I saw who it was. Well, it was Aza. Does Ryle saw the caller ID? Sana hindi. I mean, I would not deny if he ask but still I'm not ready to talk about it.

"Saan tayo kakain?" Tanong ko habang nasa elevator kami.

Kinuha niya ang phone niya bago ako binalingan. His brows furrowed and then he tilted his head. Hindi naman niya ako nasagot dahil may tumawag ulit sa kanya. I just sighed and stayed quiet, not wanting to create any noise.

"Pababa na kami... What? Just shut your mouth, Kirk. Okay."

"Naghihintay sila? Nakakahiya."

He nodded. "It's okay. Are you comfortable with them?"

"Oo. Nandun naman si Ria. Okay lang." I said, smiling.

Ria is nice. She talks a lot, maybe because she was drunk last night. Pero, kahit ganon okay naman siya. Madali namang pakisamahan. Same with Aldrin and Kirk.
