#BD32 — Coffee & Medicine

"Drake?" I knocked on the bathroom door.

I guess he went straight to the bathroom for a quick shower when he walked out on us earlier. I was just caught off guard which made me react that way. I didn't mean those words... If I could just welcome him with arms wide open then I would but I'm scared that he might leave me again anytime soon.

Ang sabi ni Tito Jake, temporary lang ang paglipat niya sa hospital branch nila rito sa Pilipinas, that means he won't stay here fore good, and will go back to the states after his temporary work here.

He'll leave again.

"What? I'm still not done," he answered.

I bit my lower lip. "Ah, okay... I'll wait here pero make it fast na."

I heard the bathroom door lock the moment I turned around planning to wait for him to finish his bath on the couch. I glanced at the door and a half-naked Drake Cole appeared after a few seconds. He is currently topless with his towel covering his lower body. His hair was even dripping wet that made him look like a model straight out of the magazines. I moved a little to the side to give him the way but he did the same thing.

"Uhm..." I murmured.

He placed his right hand on my waist, guiding me to walk on the other side for him to walk in the opposite direction. His touch sent shivers to my spine. I didn't even move when he started walking away from me. I remained silent on the same spot where he left me.

I watched him grab his clothes from the closet near my bed with a small smirk on his lips. "You should take a bath already," aniya.

"Ah, yes," wala sa ulirat kong sabi bago pumasok sa banyo para maligo.

After taking a bath, I realized that I left my robe on the couch. How am I supposed to go out of this bathroom if I left my robe outside? Jusko naman, Celestine Anastasia. It's weird to ask him naman to grab it for me after hurting him with those mean words! Ni hindi pa nga ako nakakahingi ng tawad, e.

But I guess, I don't have a choice.

I left my bathrobe on the couch, can you please get it for me?

Drake 'yung robe ko, please?

Hello?

He wasn't replying to my messages which is why I decided to open the bathroom door a little for him to hear me ask for my bathrobe.

"Uh, 'yung bathrobe ko, please?" I tried my best not to sound awkward.

"Okay," matipid niyang sagot.

I heard his footsteps approaching the bathroom door. I closed it slowly, trying to gain enough confidence to face him without looking tense. "Kalma, Celestine," I whispered.

"Tash?" Drake knocked on the door. "Here's your robe. I'll just leave it here."

Nang marinig ko ang yapak niyang papalayo na sa akin, binuksan ko nang dahan-dahan iyong pintuan upang kunin 'yung bathrobe ko na iniwan niya sa maliit na lamesa malapit sa pintuan. Mukhang iniiwasan pa rin niya ako dahil sa sinabi ko kanina kaya hindi na siya nagabala pang hintayin akong pagbuksan siya ng pinto.

I took a deep breath as I stare at Drake from the mirror in front of me. I'm done applying light makeup and fixing my hair into a bun for tonight's bonfire while Drake is busy scrolling through his phone. I didn't even ask him to wait for me, I just realized that he was purposely moving slowly when he was fixing his hair for the seventh time while I was fixing myself.
