Love In The Absence (Together Series #1)

6

Days passed and I'm putting all my attentions to my piled up reviewing papers. Finals are coming and I'd rather review now and burned all the last drop of my brain cells than to regret not passing. Education are also difficult just so you know.

I yawned and arrange all the papers after finishing all the topics that I need to review. I refreshed my laptop before turning it off. My phone beeped and I checked on it. It was from a man who was dm-ing since the day he asked my name.

It was 'hey finish reviewing' even in texting he didn't sound questioning, again. Napailing nalang ako at nagreply ng 'why are you asking?'

I slid out in my room and made some juice to chill myself. I want to unwind for day and rest my brain. I lean on the dorm's balcony while holding my glass of juice.

I sigh deep to release tensions in me. Finals are tomorrow.

I stay there longer than I usually do when my dorm mate call my name.

"Jez someone's wants to see you. Naku! pinagkaguluhan na doon sa baba! In all fairness mukhang masarap ah..." Kinindatan pa ako niya bago pumasok sa kwarto niya.

She whimpered like worm rolled on salt... so it's a guy?

"Thanks." She smiled at me before closing her door.

I finished my juice and change my clothes to comfortable one. I rush down at nasaksihan kong paano siya halos pagkaguluhan ng mga ibang dorm occupants.

Simpleng white v-neck shirt, faded pants and his Balenciaga shoes pero hindi maikakailang talagang napakaganda niyang lalake. 

Agad siyang naglakad papunta sakin ng makita akong pababa.

"Anong klaseng hangin ang nagdala sayo dito?" Ngumiti lang siya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

My stomach swirl and feel hallows. He always do that and I just don't mind it. Sabi niya ay ganoon lang siya bumati kahit pa iba ang dulot noon sakin ay hinayaan ko nalang.

"Done reviewing?" I gestured him to follow me outside.

"I just finished when you sent message." Naupo kami sa balkon sa labas ng dorm.

Hanggang ngayon ay may awkwardness pa rin sakin dahil sa mga sinabi ko sakanya. Sakanya naman ay wala na raw iyon.

"You know that I still feel sorry about what happened that night."

"Forget that already, okay? I was out of shape that time too so... I was like arrogant..."

He apologized too dahil mainit rin daw ulo niya dahil sa trabaho.

"Can we grab lunch? You know, you should chill and unwind."

Without second thought I agreed. I still feel sorry for what I've said and just being harsh on him. And it guilts me when he is being nice. Ngayon lang nga ako nag-sorry sa personal.
