CHAPTER 14
Numb
It's a sunny day. The weather's good. And here I am, nasa gym. Malapit sa condo ko, so less hassle. Wearing a sports bralette top, black leggings and comfy shoes, I was able to move my routines freely.
May ibang mga nag gy-gym din. May mga sariling instructor. Pero I was wondering why all of a sudden, off duty si Carmen? 'yung mismong professional instructor ko. Kaya ito tuloy ako gumagawa ng mga simple routines, like jogging on treadmill and basic stretching. Kalahating oras na rin ako dito.
"Are you Ms. Ortaniza?"
I was startled by the deep baritone voice. So I press the normal button of thread mill and face him.
"Yes," I answered politely.
He's wearing a black jersey and a plain white t-shirt. He's smiling widely at me. Oh, ang cute niya!
"Uh," he's hesitating to speak, "Your personal instructor is a little bit busy, she's not able to come. So, she asked favor for me to replace her temporarily." He smiled.
Gwapo siya. Matangkad, probably I'm on his neck level. He's so manly and so polite also.
"Ah, sure!"
Tumango siya at umalis saglit. Siguro may kukunin. Pero saglit lang at bumalik ulit na may dalang duffel bag, mineral water and his cellphone.
I wonder what's his name? Hindi ko pa siya kilala. But the way he glance at me, I feel a creepy smirk! I know it's ridiculous, pero kasi I'm having a bad feeling towards that man!
Speaking of Eros, he knows I'm here. But he has to go somewhere dahil I requested him to buy me pasta. Oh diba?
And for the event kagabi, nauna na kami ni Eros na umuwi. Lasing na rin kasi ang iba. Hindi na rin kami sumabay sa bonfire daw! Fortunately, Eros found a way to escape.
"So, would you like to rest first? You seem so worked out." he smiled and then pointed out my sweats in my face down to my stomach.
Kaya kumunot ang noo ko. My head wondered. Legit ba 'to? Kasi parang may trust issue ako sa taong 'to!
"Uhm, I'll just prepare." tinuro ko kung nasaan ang aking mga gamit.
Tumalikod ako at diretso sa aking gamit. I didn't wait for his response. I took my towel and wipe my sweat.
I am having some trust issues and hindi ako mapakali. Maybe I should call my instructor. Isa pa, I'm not comfortable kasi hindi ko siya often nakikita dito sa gym.
I drunk my water, my eyes caught him starring at me. Kaya ngumiti siya. I nodded without even smiling at him.
