Selfish

Happy reading 🥛

I took a deep breath while staring at the burnt pancake in front of me.

It's been an hour since Treyden came home.

Hindi man lang siya lumabas sa kwarto niya.

Is he really busy?

...

I shouldn't be thinking about him this time. For fucking sake.

"What the..." mahina kong sabi matapos tikman ang pancake na ginawa.

"What a waste." I whispered before putting the pancake inside the trashcan. I feel guilty.

"Why did you throw?" I gasped when I heard his voice.

Dahan-dahan akong humarap sa kanya na nakasandal ngayon sa may pinto.

I gulped, "Treyden."

This is the first time I saw his hair damp. He looks really handsome.

"It's not edible." I answer.

I saw him bit his lips before covering his lips with his slender and long fingers.

Is he smiling?

Dahan-dahan itong lumapit sa kinatatayuan ko bago tingnan ang mga kalat.

"Ang dumi." Tipid niyang sabi na ikinagulat ko.

"Kaya nga eh." Mabilis kong kilos habang nililinis ang mga kalat na ginawa ko.

I stop from moving when Treyden touch my finger.

"I'll clean this. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" Sunod-sunod niyang tanong.

"You're not mad anymore?" I asked.

He smirked. "I'm not mad."

I gasped when Treyden slowly laid his hand on my side, while the other hand was still holding my finger.

...

What is happening?

I gulped and try not to breath. I can't move my body.

"I've been thinking about you these past few days. I left because I need time to think about it. But I really regret leaving that day." He put his head on my shoulder while saying those words.

Huh?

What?

Mabilis akong pumikit bago siya itulak.

"W-what?" I whispered while looking down. "No... what do you mean you regret?" Tumaas ang boses ko.

"Do you." I gulped. Thousand of words playing inside my head, waiting for their turn to be said.

"Do you like me?" I asked in a low tone.

There's a thread of silence between us.

"Gray..." He whispered as if he's in pain.

Dahan-dahan siyang umatras, nakayuko pa rin hanggang ngayon. Hindi ko maintinidhan kung bakit ngayon niya pa naisipan na sabihin sa akin ang lahat.
