Kaeton's Obsession (Blazing Series 1)

Kabanata 26

KABANATA 26:  Weapons

Nang makauwi si Kaeton ay kaagad ko siyang inabangan sa pinto ng mansyon. Alas sinco na at paniguradong tulog pa ang mga tao rito. Kagabi ko pa alam na uuwi siya kaya hindi ako mapakali ngayon.

Naging maayos kami ni Leandra nitong mga nagdaang araw at halos kami lang din ang nag-uusap dahil ang tatlo naming kasama ay minsang umaalis at minsang nakakulong lamang sa kuwarto dahil tutok sa trabaho. Naiiwan kaming dalawa rito at wala rin naman kaming choice kung hindi mag-usap kaming dalawa.

As soon as I spotted him at the main gate, I hurried down the steps. Running to him, I opened it. I greeted him and offered him a big smile.

“Hi! Good morning, welcome home!”

He approached me while intently observing me after we exchanged glances. I leant over and bit my bottom lip out of mild fear.

“Baby. . .” He mumbled. With a gentle hug, he pulled me by the waist with his hand. I sensed his heartbeat when I closed my eyes. “I miss going home.”

I was breathing heavily. My heart was beating so strongly in my chest that I was having trouble breathing.

“I won't leave you anymore, Charm. I promise that.”

Napalunok ako at tumango. Tila ba’y naging isang tuta ako ngayon na kusa na lamang tumatango sa kahit anong sinasabi niya.

“I missed you so much.”

Mas lalo pa niyang hinigpitan ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin at ako’y halos matunaw na at mapitpit.

“Why aren't you talking, huh? Was there something that bothered you?”

“W-Wala naman. . .” bulong ko.

“Tell me so I’ll be aware. Please, I want you to communicate your feelings to me. I want to know what’s bothering you. I want to know everything.”

“W-Wala nga, Kaeton.”

“Let’s communicate and tell our feelings okay? Do not hide anything from me.”

Lumunok ulit ako at pumikit nang mariin bago sambitin ang salitang kanina ko pa gustong sabihin.

“I just. . . miss you.”

He put his arm around me more tightly, and I felt it. I can detect the scent of his perfume radiating from his shirt. In addition, he recently had a haircut, and his current buzz cut looks great on him. Mukha tuloy siyang fuck boy. Pero bagay sa kaniya.

Gently, he knelt down to whisper in my ear. His sweet words made me goosebumps, making me feel even weaker.

“I miss you a lot too, Baby.”

This boy is driving me crazy!

Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap nang makarinig ng yapak galing sa aming likuran. Sumilip ako ro’n at nakitang papalapit sila Avery at Callum. Bagong gising lang din sila ngunit fresh na fresh pa rin ang mukha na akala mo’y bagong ligo.

Unang bumati kay Kaeton ay si Callum at sinundan iyon ni Avery. Hanggang sa dumating din si Chaos at saktong papunta na rin sa amin si Leandra. Pare-pareho kaming lahat na maagang nagising ngayon, nakakamangha.

“Good Morning, Boss. Welcome home.”

Binalingan ko si Leandra na malapit sa amin at nakatayo ngunit sa sahig lamang siya naka tingin at hindi niya maangat ang kaniyang pangingin sa aming lima.

Nanahimik na lamang din ako at nakinig sa pinag-uusapan ng apat about sa plano na gagawin. Pareho kaming nananahimik ni Leandra ngayon. Nasa gilid ako ni Kaeton habang siya ay nasa nasa likod ni Callum.
