POSSESSIVE 26: Terron Dashwood

CHAPTER 13

CHAPTER 13

EVA woke up feeling fresh. Maaga siyang natulog, mahimbing ang tulog niya at higit sa lahat hindi siya nagising kahit isang beses buong gabi. It was the most peaceful sleep she ever had! Kaya naman maganda ang mood niya ngayong umaga. Lalo na nang mag-agahan at ginawan siya ng Iced Latte ni Terron.

Iced Latte plus heated leftover food from Thorn Calderon's restaurant plus eating in the sundeck while watching the sunrise—it was a perfect breakfast.

"Ev?"

"Yes, Your Grace?"

"Anong naka-save na pangalan ko sa contacts mo?" Kalmadong tanong ni Terron habang sumisimsim ito ng kape.

"Huh?" Eva was so confused by that random question.

Inulit ulit ni Terron ang tanong. "Ano ang pangalan ko na naka-save sa contacts mo?"

Naguguluhan pa rin si Eva bakit nagtatanong ng ganun ang binata pero sinagot pa rin niya ito. "Your Grace and naka-save na pangalan mo sa contacts ko."

Napatango-tango ang binata saka nagtanong ulit. "That's it? No emoji attached to my name?"

Kumunot ang nuo ni Eva. "May nakain ka bang hindi maganda, Your Grace?"

"No. I'm perfectly fine." Terron replied calmly. "So? Does my name have an emoji attached to it?"

Eva was so confused that she ended up answering just to get to the bottom of this. "Wala. Your Grace lang ang naka-save."

Terron suddenly seemed displeased. "Then may I make a request?"

"Anong request?"

"Can you put an emoji beside my name?" He cleared his throat and added. "Three to six heart emojis, to be precise."

Eva looked at Terron flatly with a frown. She didn't know what to think at that moment, so she asked. "Sigurado ka bang ayos ka lang, Your Grace?"

"Yes. I am fine. So? Will you accept my request?"

Para kay Eva, 'yong sobrang close lang niya ang nilalagyan niya ng heart emoji. But since she and Terron had already kissed last night, and she acknowledged that she may have feelings for Terron, she nodded.

"Sige."

"Six emoji hearts, please."

Nahihiwagaang napatitig si Eva sa binata na kalmado pa ring sumisimsim ng kape. Something was off with Terron. She just couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Okay. Six emoji hearts."

Picking up her phone on the table, he edited Terron's name in her contacts and put six hearts besides Your Grace.

'Your Grace ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'

"Parang sumakit bigla ang mata ko sa dami ng puso." Komento ni Eva ng ma-save ang bagong pangalan ni Terron sa cellphone niya.

Seeing the six emoji hearts, Terron smiled, pleased at the success of his sudden request. "Thanks, Ev."

"Um... You're welcome...?"

"By the way, how many people in your contacts have a heart emoji beside their names?"

Hindi niya talaga maintindihan si Terron. "Pangatlo ka, Your Grace."

"Then how many heart emoji do they have besides their names?"

Her eyebrows twitched. "Isa lang, Your Grace."

Terron smiled before leaning in and kissing her temple. "It is indeed a good morning."

Nakatingin lang si Eva kay Terron na parang may sira sa ulo ang binata. Hindi niya talaga maintindihan kung saan nanggagaling ang mga tanong nito.
