What happened to us?

Chapter 3

Eli's POV

Nagising ako dahil sa isang yugyog.

"Wake up sleepyhead it's already 1 am in the morning babyahe pa tayo papuntang airport." Lucas' said.

Unti unti kong minulat ang mata ko at nakita ko ang muka ni Lucas. I groaned at umayos ng upo, kinusot ko ang mata ko at tinignan siya.

"Ang aga mo, how can you be so early eh ikaw ang mas naka inom satin kagabi." Sabi ko habang kinukusot ulit ang mata ko, gosh I'm still sleepy.

"Tss don't ask, mag ayos ka na baka ma late pa tayo sa flight natin. I already cooked our breakfast." He said before going out.

Nag punta na ako sa cr para maligo, I wear a skinny jeans and a black sleevless turtleneck top paired in a brown winter coat. For sure malamig sa airport, tatanggalin ko nalang to when we arrive in Manila.

Isang maleta at hand bag lang ang dala ko, nilabas ko na ang mga gamit ko and I saw Lucas sipping on his coffee. I sat infront of him and eat my breakfast.

"You should build your own restaurant, you're good at cooking you know." I joked.

"Tss I'm fine cooking only for you Eli." He said while looking at me.

I just smirked and eat my breakfast, after that we headed to the airport. It's 3:30am when we arrived, we just waited for 30 mins bago sumakay ng eroplano.

At the Airplane I just slept and woke up for our lunch. 1st class ang pinili ni Lucas that's why hindi ako nahirapan sa pag tulog kanina. The food that is served to us are good, after eating nanood lang ako ng movies sa instaled TV's sa may armrest.

Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako nagising nalang ako ng mag didinner na. Just like what I did earlier eat, watch movies then sleep, nagising nalang din ulit ako ng mag laland na kami.

Si Lucas ang may hawak sa 2 maleta namin while me I'm just holding my Hermés hand bag at my left hand, and my right hand is clinging onto his left arm.

I didn't expect that there are medias waiting for us outside, gladly Lucas contacted his body guards kaya hindi na kami nahirapan sa pag sakay sa kotse niya.

"Ihahatid ka muna namin sa unit mo then I'll go visit my parents baka dun nadin ako matulog. Do you wan't to stay in our house?" He asked.

"No it's alright sa unit ko nalang thanks by the way." I said and smiled at him.

"Are you sure you're fine alone? Don't worry I'll visit you tomorrow."

"Yes I'm fine Lucas you don't have to worry."

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked.

"Hmm maybe visit Sandra? Go on a shopping with her? Lucas it's alright pwedeng kami nalang muna. You should spend time with your family also, besides minsan ka lang din umuwi dito sa Philippines." I said assuring him that it's okay.

"Fine but let me drive you to her place tomorrow please?"

I chuckled and agree on his plans, ng makarating na kami sa condo tinulungan nila akong ibaba ang gamit ko pero hindi na ko nagpahatid pa papuntang unit ko, kaya ko na naman.

My unit is located at the 30th floor, minanage ko talagang gawing parehas ang interior ng unit ko dito sa Manila at New York para hindi ko naman masyadong mamiss ito. Pero iba padin talaga kapag andito ka na I'm happy but at the same time sad because of the painful memories happened years ago.

Binukasan ko ang pintuan ng unit ko at and it was dark, I put the key card on it's place so that the lights of this room will turn on.

Binaba ko ang bag ko sa counter at tinabi muna sa isang gilid ang maleta ko. Nag ikot ikot ako and I can't help but to smile, I headed to the veranda and saw the poolside there mukang may party na nagaganap. Pumasok ako sa loob at nagpunta sa kitchen duon naka located ang wall window type ko where you can also see the city lights from here just like my unit in New York.

I missed this place, I missed the feeling being home. How I wish I could stay here for long but I can't the pain is too much to bear. Those painful memories kept on hunting me even if I know that I'm also happy being here.

Dinala ko ang maleta sa loob ng kuwarto ko at nag ayos na ng gamit, I took a half bath before going to bed. Nang humiga ako ay agad kong niyakap ang unan ko I missed this scent.

Narinig kong nag vibrate ang phone ko kaya agad ko itong tinignan, it was a text from Lucas.

Lucas:
I'm home:)

Me:
Thanks for today Lucas, go and rest I know you're tired.

Lucas:
No problem, you should rest too. Goonight sleepwell Eli.

Me:
Goodnight:)

After sending it I saw on my screen that Sandra is calling me. Sinagot ko nalang agad iyon.

"Hmm?" Pambungad ko.

[Hey how's the flight? Naka uwi ka na ba?]

"Yup hinatid ako ni Lucas kakatapos ko lang mag ayos dito sa condo."

[Is he sleeping there?]

"Nope he's staying with his parents in their mansion." Sabi ko at biglang napa hikab.

"Sorry." I apologized.

[It's alright you should rest now I bet you're tired. Let's meet tomorrow I miss you Eli.] Sabi niya na nagpangiti saakin.

"I miss you too Sandra, let's meet tomorrow at 10 am ihahatid ako ni Lucas sa mall dun nalang tayo magkita. I'll rest for now." I said.

[Alright then goodnight!]

"Goodnight, bye." Paalam ko at binaba na ang tawag.

I put my phone on my side table and cover my face a blanket then let myself to fall asleep.

I woke up at 8:00 in the morning, I decided na maligo nalang muna. Since it's also summer here I wear a maong shorts and a white tube crop top for the inner and an oversized dark blue jacket partnered with my white sneakers. I put my hair in a ponytail and curl it a little, I will be using my prada handbag and a sunglasses of course.

Lumabas ako ng kuwarto ko and I saw Lucas at my living room waiting for me.

"You're here." I said.

"I told you ako ang mag hahatid sayo." He said.

"Alright then let's go." Aya ko na agad sakaniya.

When we got on his car I texted Sandra na papunta na ako sa mall.

"Have you seen the new article? Rumors?" He asked while driving.

Napatingin naman ako sakaniya dahil duon.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"That we're dating, may mga kuha nung nasa club at airport tayo." He said and let out a small chuckle.

"Tss let them sanay na naman ako and as if naman mauubusan ka ng babae diba?"

"Oh come on HAHAHA care to explain your recent interview?" Sabi niya sabay sulyap sakin sandali.

I remembered my interview nung ginanap yung event where I didn't answered their last question.

"I'm just messing up Lucas." Sabi ko sabay irap.

"Oh really?" He mocked.

Hinayaan ko nalang siyang asar asarin ako buong byahe hanggang sa makarating na kami sa mall.
