Her Blazing Desire (IB Hotel Series #1) ON-GOING

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Fifteen

I OPENED my eyes slowly, wondering, and remembering what happened.

Where am I?

I can feel the comfy blanket on my body. When I realized everything, I immediately checked my clothes. Still on my uniform.

I sighed in relief.

I roamed my eyes on the room. No one is here! Nakaramdam ako ng kaba. Bakit ba kasi ako nakatulog?!

Si Keegan! Where is he?

Napansin kong madilim na rin sa labas, I checked my wristwatch and it's almost midnight!

Gosh, anong ginawa ko?!

Dali-dali kong inayos ang sarili. Tinignan ko lahat ng parte ng kanyang kuwarto pero wala akong Keegan na nakita.

I was about to look for him outside when I suddenly heard the sound of the door. I'm visibly worried, I looked up, my eyes met his cold, dark eyes. Wearing his hoodie, hands in his pockets, typical pants while giving me his cold deadly stares.

He looks so unknown. He stopped not so far.

I gulped. From all of these, I just want to say,

"Thank God," I said, almost out of breath.

"You're still here?"

Nangilabot ako sa lamig ng kanyang boses.
Hindi naman ako makapagsalita dahil maski ako ay hindi rin alam ang sasabihin.

"I-I'm sorry," ani ko at yumuko.

"Why do you always say sorry? Do you really mean it?"

I lifted my head. He stares at me blankly. I watched him as he walks towards me, nilagpasan niya ako at sinundan ko iyon ng tingin.

I just saw him getting a cigarette. I just watched him smoke while he opened his window to let out his fume.

"You may go."

My hands turned into a fist. I was just making sure of him, but I guess he's fine now.

"Okay."

Unti-unti akong tumalikod sa kaniya, dinig pa rin ang pagbuga niya ng usok. Minsan pa ay nilingon ko siya pero seryoso lang ang mukha niyang nakatingin sa bintana.

Paglabas ko roon ay sinalubong ako ng tahimik na pasilyo. Hindi na ako nag-atubiling magpalit ng damit. Hindi ko na alam pa kung hinanap ba ako, I was missing in action.

I don't know why I am not worried about having a bad record, it was like, I was more worried about him and his actions.

I continuously shook my head and get my things. Nang marating ko ang lobby ay naabutan ko si Ninya na mukhang pauwi na rin.

Nadako ang tingin niya sa akin. Nanlalaki pa ang mata niya nang lapitan ko siya. Her mouth turned into an O-shaped so I immediately covered her mouth.

"Let's just go home, I'm tired."

We just got home safely and soundly. But my mind is so occupied about such and that.

"Bakit ang lungkot mo yata ngayon? Parang pasan ang mundo? Ano? Si Roberto pa rin?"

Pagod ko siyang tinignan. Umiling ako at mariing ipinikit ang mga mata.

"No, that's not it. Robert and I were good. We both accepted everything na hanggang doon na lang kami, just like what I've told you."

"Then why? At bakit pala ngayon ka lang nag-out? Hindi ba kanina pang alas-sais ng gabi ang out mo? Alas-dose na ng madaling-araw, maaga ka pa bukas, samantalang tanghali pa ang pasok ko, anong nangyari?"
