MULA sa kinatatayuan ko ay kitang-kita ko ang dalawang asungot na nag aalmusal kasama si Travis. As usual, nag babangayan nanaman ang dalawa na parang aso't pusa while Travis is just sitting on his comfy chair habang pasimpleng nag ka-kape. I automatically hid my tilted body when he turned his gaze to where I'm standing. Napakagat labi nalang ako sa ginagawa ko. Why am I hiding anyway? Nothing happened, right?

Wala nga ba?

Ipinilig ko ng marahan ang aking ulo at pilit na binubura sa isipan ko ang mga nangyari ng gabing iyon. Just calm down, okay? Pretend na walang nangyari. Act natural. Nagpakawala muna ako ng malalim na hining bago taas noong tinahak ang daan patungo sa kanila.

Stay calm, Clarity. Act normal.

Agad akong nakaramdam ng paninitig kay Travis nang bumaba ako ng hagdan. I secretly gulped the liquid inside my mouth at pasimpleng dumaan sa harapan nila at tumungo ng kusina. I even greeted the twins like ka-close ko sila and thankfully, they also greeted me back. Nang pasimple kong dinaanan kung saan naka upo si Travis ay bigla akong nakaramdam ng kaba. I even looked down when he tried to have an eye contact with me. With a trembling legs, I sat down beside him as I ate my breakfast.

"Get ready. We'll be leaving after ten minutes," he spoke in his usual tone.

After eating breakfast I did what I was told. I quickly went inside the car that was waiting for us. Agad naman siyang sumunod kaya I made sure I left some space so we won't be sitting close to each other.

Just the thought of being that close to him is making me feel hot and I hate it. Hindi naman ako ganito dati, so why am I suddenly feeling this way? What have you done to me Travis?

"You know taking a pic wouldn't hurt. It would last longer and you could stare at it whenever you like," he suddenly said while typing on his phone.

I blushed and immediately rolled my eyes on him. Well he might have caught me looking at him but I will never have his way on me.

"Duh! As if I'd like to stare at you, boss. You don't look handsome to me at all. Ang pangit mo kaya," bitchesa kong sagot naman dito.

"Really? You can lie all you want Clarity, but we both know what's the truth."

"Gwapo pero gago," bulong ko naman sa hangin na siguradong ako lang ang nakarinig.

"You sayin' something?"

I shrugged. "Wala, just nevermind me nalang."

After an hour of waiting dumating na talaga kami sa dapat naming pupuntahan. It's a huge mansion. Baka bahay ito ng kaibigan ni Travis.

The driver immediately opened the door for us. Naunang bumaba si Travis bago ako sumunod sa kaniya.

"Who's property is this Trav?" I asked nung naglakad na kami papasok sa malaking mansion.

"A friend of mine owns this? Why?" Nakabasungot na sagot nya sa akin bago ako tingnan ng diretso sa aking mata.

"N-nothing. Na gandahan lang ako," I stuttered and immediately looked away.

When we went in silently, I could feel the awkward air around us or maybe it's just me who's awkward so I talked again to get rid of the tension around us.

"Ano palang gagawin natin dito?" Tanong ko habang iniikot ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng mansion.

"You don't have to know," baritono niyang sagot.
