Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 78

"Mahal?"

Agad naman siya napalingon kay Kyx, she's currently preparing the bunnies bed. Nakatulog na ang dalawang aso sa kabilang play pen. Late na kasi, when she assure the bunnies are fine she stood up before walking toward him. She didn't speak much, gusto niyang maging okay pero hindi niya talaga kaya, and Kyx seem bothered by her silence, he tried to start a conversation but gets discouraged sensing her sour mood.

She tried to talk and mingle with him like usual but she can't. Not with this heavy feeling clinging on her but she tried her very best to push it away but sadly she can't, it really affect her. Masakit kasi, hindi niya alam kung mababaw siya pero nasaktan talaga siya.

"Going home?" She ask looking at the clock on her phone, halos hindi niya tinitignan ang binata pero sinisigurado niya na pinapansin ito. Ayaw niyang mag-isip ng kung ano si Kyx.  "It's almost 10 already."

"Yeah," Kyx utter in a small voice, mukhang nag-alangan pa ito habang nakatingin sakaniya. "It's late so can I—uh," Kyx look away, cheeks glowing red looking flustered, kitang-kita din ang pamumula ng leeg at tenga nito. "Can I—uh."

"Can you what?" She inquire following Kyx's eyes. He is rubbing his neck, halos mag-mukhang kamatis ito pati ang tenga nito namumula. Hindi niya alam pero parang natuwa siya dahil dito.

"Sleep here." Kyx breath out, looking down. Agad naman siya natigilan sa tanong nito. Hindi dahil sa takot o pag -aalinlangan. Nagulat lang talaga siya, mukhang napansin nito na natigilan siya dahil agad itong pilit na ngumite habang hinihimas nito ang leeg. "Baka sakali lang naman. I can still go home naman. I just want to spend the night with you kasi."

His conyo accent is really ticking her heart and ears. She compose herself, ngitian niya ito. "It's fine. Pwede ka dito, may guestroom naman dito. Pwede ka doon matulog."

"Sa guestroom ako matutulog?" Tanong nito parang gulat na gulat ito sa sinabi niya, nanlaki pa ang mata. "Ako lang mag-isa?" Sunod na tanong nito. Agad naman napa-angat ang isang kilay niya dahil sa sinabi nito.

"Bakit?" She ask, a little surprise by his reaction. She just thought he's not comfortable laying or even sleeping with her. I mean, halata naman kung bakit. Kaya hindi niya ito inaasahan. "Gusto mo ko makatabi?" She joked, chuckling lightly.

"Sana." He then pouted, pakiramdam niya kumawala ang puso niya sa dibdib niya dahil sa sinabi nito. "Do you have a television in your room?

She nodded, still a little dumbfounded by Kyx's answer. Nakalimutan niya ata paano huminga." Yeah, but do you wanna sleep with me?" Tanong niya ulit, baka mali ang pagkaka-rinig niya.

"I mean yeah if you're comfortable with it." Ani nito habang pinag- lalaruan ang daliri niya. She's okay with it, wala naman mangyayari. Hindi naman na gusto niyang may mangyari but this is good for her. Wala siyang dapat alalahanin. Agad naman siya bumalik sa huwisyo ng maramdaman niya ang malamig na kamay nito. He held her face. "Hey. It's okay to say no. I understand."

"It's fine, really. Medyo pagod lang ako, Kyx." Dahilan niya bago ito tinalukuran at pinatay ang telebisyon. "Ano susuotin mo? I'm sure hindi ka komportable matulog na ganiyan ang suot mo."  She knew Kyx, hindi ito makatulog hanggang hindi ito naliligo. Minsan nga nagvi -video call sila habang naliligo ito. Ganoon ka-clingy ang binata.

Kyx had a nightly routine, skincare routine even a hair routine. Nahiya nga siya bigla ng nalaman niya ito noon. Nahiya ang aloe vera at sunscreen niya sa dinami-dami ng nilalagay ni Kyx sa mukha niya.
