Waves of Healing (The Six Ladies Series #2)

Kabanata 6

I woke up with a slight head ache at the same time, the sun light hits my face. Naalala ko lahat ang nangyari kagabi and it was clearly imprinted on my mind. Pagkatapos naming ihatid si Patrice ay hinatid din ako ni Kian and of course, using my car. I told him na mauna na sa bahay nila since, wala siyang sasakyan pero siya 'tong nagpumilit na ihatid ako.

I have no choice but to let him. It was actually an advantage for me, nasisilayan ko ang gwapong mukha niya while he's seriously driving and looking at the road. I'm sitting on the shot gun seat kaya feel na feel ko ang gabi, medyo nahihilo man ako dahil sa inumin ay mas lamang ang kilig na aking naramdaman.

Nang nasa tapat na kami ng bahay ay tumawag ito sa sariling driver niya. Sinamahan ko siya sa paghihintay and it was awkward. Walang may balak na magsalita but deep inside me ay gustong-gusto ko siyang makausap. I wanted to open a topic but I don't how to start. Dumating ang sasakyan niya and he bid a goodbye to me at hanggang doon na lamang ang aming interaksyon though, I wasn't expecting more from him dahil alam kong hindi naman ako nito mapapansin.

In his eyes, ako lang naman si Shine, ang matalik na kaibigan ng kanyang mahal.

After those thoughts, I weakly smiled at myself and got up from my bed. After doing my morning routine ay bumaba na ako, I am still wearing a racerback and shorts since, I am very hungry at ayaw ko munang magbihis. It's 9 o'clock in the morning at patay na naman ako nito kay mama dahil late na naman ako sa restaurant.

I made my way into the kitchen to find some food and to my surprise, iba ang nakita ko. It was Jeremiah, sitting like a model while chewing a gum on his mouth, it looks like he's waiting for someone at bihis na bihis ito. Honestly, he looks handsome today or baka bago lang ulit ang mukha niya sa paningin ko because we haven't seen each other yesterday?

Hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin at binuksan ang refrigerator. I want to drink cold water to quench my thirst and eat a light meal for breakfast. Habang naghahanap ako ng kakainin ko ay ramdam ko ang mga titig ni Jeremiah sa akin kaya nilingon ko ito at umiwas naman agad siya ng tingin.

"May problema ka ba?" I spat while grabbing some strawberry jam and bread.

He smirked at me. "Wala naman. I was just wondering what did you do yesterday."

"Is that your way of asking how's my day yesterday without you?"

He frowned and nooded. "Sort of."

"Everything is fine. With or without you ay kaya ko naman ang lahat ng gawain doon at isa pa hindi naman mahirap ang pagiging manager. I may lack experience but I'm pretty sure na matutunan ko ang lahat ng pasikot-sikot sa business." I scoffed.

Jeremiah chuckled a little bit. "Ingay mo talaga."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. Now, I'm wondering kung bakit siya nasa loob ng bahay at nasaan sina mama at papa? Why did they let this annoying guy stay here inside our house?

"Maingay? Nage-explain ako wag ka ngang epal."
