CHAPTER 23

FIXED

"Ms. Cayanne Leigh?" Parehas kaming napatingin ni Zin nang magsalita si Oliver. "Kakatawag lang po ni Sir Lance. Mag-call back daw po kayo kaagad."

I quickly stood up and grabbed the wireless telephone from his hands. I'm in a hurry not because I wanted to talk to my Dad but because I wanted to get away from Zin.

I knew I had to get out and the only thing that could help me at the moment is my father.

Lumabas ako ng indoor garden namin at umupo sa isang couch doon sa hallway. Oliver left to give me some privacy. I called my Dad and within two rings, he immediately answered it.

"Ngayon lang nabasa ng Mom mo ang text mo. How are you feeling now? Gusto mo bang magpadala sa hospital?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "I'm okay now Dad, don't worry. Wala na po 'kong lagnat. Kayo po ni Mama? Kumusta?"

"Tired but everything's fine here." Tumahimik siya saglit kaya kumunot ang noo ko. Kilala ko ang tatay ko. He's about to say something that is bothering him. "Nasabi nga pala ni Oliver na nandyan daw si Zin? Bakit?"

I bit my lower lip and almost groan in annoyance. Wala man dito ang parents ko ay may walking CCTV naman silang iniwan. Sometimes, I hate how Oliver's so honest with my Dad. Sabagay, anak lang ako. Boss parin ang tatay ko.

"Yeah, Tiffany told everyone that I won't be able to attend the event so they went here so check up on me. Dito pa po sila kumain ng dinner. Hindi sila pumunta sa Car Launch para hindi ako mainggit." Ayokong magsinungaling pero ayoko lang din humaba ang discussion namin. If I tell Dad that I'm alone with Zin right now, he'll misinterpret the situation. Kaya lang naman na-late si Zin ng punta dito ay dahil inuna niya pa ang event.

"That's sweet but tell your friends to go home now. It's late and you need to take some rest." Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang paniwalaan niya ang sinabi ko.

"Alright Dad, Goodnight."

"Love you princess. Your Mom will call you tomorrow, okay?"

"Mmmkay." I smiled and ended the phone call.

"Why'd you lie?" I raised my head and saw Zin walking out of the door. I stood up and sighed.

"To save me from a long ass speech he's about to give me."

"Why do I get the feeling that Tito doesn't like me?"

"He doesn't like any guys for me." I chuckled. "Aaron's fault."

He nodded, completely understanding what I meant. "Right. Cause that asshole broke your heart and now Tito thinks everyone will do the same." Tumango lang ako dahil tama naman siya ng sinabi.

"I should go home..." He suddenly said. Already? He was just telling me how much he misses me a few minutes ago. He should explain more. Gusto kong maintindihan kung anong ibig niyang sabihin sa mga katagang binitawan niya.

"Pahinga ka na," He added, smiling a little. He probably saw how stunned I was earlier. Baka ayaw niya lang ma-awkward ulit ako pag in-open up niya 'yung topic ulit.
