Limerence (Dauntless Series #2)

Chapter 38

I sat down on the couch after what happened so I can compose myself. He was there standing in front of me while both of his hands are on his waist. Maya-maya ay natawa ito kaya inirapan ko siya.

"Will you stop that?" I fired at him. Itinaas niya ang magkabila niyang kamay sa ere dahil doon. Sabay kaming lumingon sa pintuan nang may kumatok doon. Iniluwa noon si Yohan.

"Bakit nakasara ang blinds mo, Desmarais?" He then looked around. His eyes widened when saw me. "Oh! Kaya naman pala." Humagalpak ito sa katatawa. If he's thinking about us doing something inside his office, then he's wrong. Except that I don't wanna argue with him about that because that will only make me defensive. Bahala na siya kung anong gusto niyang isipin.

"What's your problem?" Tanong ni Marceu at naupo sa tabi ko. Tuluyan nang pumasok si Yohan sa loob. Kumuha ito ng isang silya para upuan niya. Inilagay noya iyon sa harap namin.

Yohan shrugged. He reached a glass on the table and pour a little amount of scotch into it. Woah! It's too early to get drunk. Besides, he's on duty right now. He might misdiagnose his patients or screw a surgery up. Then he will be in a great mess.

"Apparently, your girlfriend here left a message for me. I got intrigued because it only says 'hi'. Who knows what could that mean? What was that about, Saoirse?"

They both turned to me to get an answer. Palipat-lipat ang tingin ko sa dalawa. Sa huli ay bumuntong hininga ako. "Noong isang araw pa ako nag-aalala sayo, Marceu, kaya naisip kong i-chat si Yohan since he's the only one whom I can call a friend here. Hindi naman siya nagreply."

Yohan chuckled while downing his scotch. He's unbelievable!

"Well, I was on-call last night so I didn't get a chance to check my phone. I just removed a multiple gunshot wound to a patient and turns out, he's the shooter!" Lumapit ito sa akin at tinapik ang balikat ko. "And thank you for considering me as a friend even though you've met me just a few times. On the other hand, your boyfriend here didn't liked me when he first saw me."

"That's because you were too full of yourself. I hate arrogant people."

"Yeah. Birds with the same feather flocks together. Ayaw mo sa mga kauri mo?"

Pareho kaming natawa ni Yohan kaya hindi makapaniwala si Marceu nang bumaling sa akin. It was like I betrayed him by taking his friend's side instead of him. I wrinkled my nose at him. I never knew that I'll enjoy watching this pissed Marceu. He's so adorable.

"You should have seen me rock the O.R. last night, Desmarais! The surgery is a bloodbath."

"You sure you wanted me to see you go crazy while ordering your staff to transfuse more blood to your patient?"

Umiling si Yohan. "I'd got it under control. I was able to keep him alive until earlier. His death sentence came too early." Naiiling niyang sinabi.

Marceu looked at me. "See? Told you he's too proud."

Natawa ako habang si Yohan ay abala sa pag-inom ng alak. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil mukhang wala itong balak tumigil. Tapos na ba ang duty niya? He can't wander around the E.R. while he's drunk.

"Why are you drinking, by the way?" Tanong ko kay Yohan nang magsalin itong muli ng alak sa kaniyang baso. Panglimang beses niya na iyon dahil kanina ko pa siya pinagmamasdan.

He took a glance on Marceu's direction before looking down on his glass. "I... humiliated a resident in front of her patient today."

"Who's resident?" Si Marceu.

"Zamora." Yohan answered and drank his scotch. Bottoms up. "You think I should apologize?"

"Of course, dumbass! It's the right thing to do! Whatever the reason behind why you snapped on her, you don't have a right to tarnish someone's reputation in front of many people. Discipline her in private. That's a thing called respect, Yohan." My boyfriend seems to be mad at Yohan too. Nanatili lamang itong nakayuko at hindi nagsasalita.
