Living With The Game (Living Series #2)

Chapter 22

"Ayon si Wil oh,"

Patrice said while we're heading to our building. Umakto akong hindi narinig ang sinabi niya at tumingin lang sa dinaraanan namin.

"And... he's with Loraine,"

With that, agad akong napalingon sa direksyon kung saan siya nakatingin. Nang makitang wala naman akong nakitang Loraine na kasama ni William sa may Lagoon ay sinamaan ko siya agad ng tingin.

"Oh ano, how dare you look at me that way, huh?" Taas kilay na aniya. I just rolled my eyes before taking the first step of our building.

"Puntahan mo na si Wil doon, he's waiting for you." She said before going upstairs.

Naiwan naman ako sa paahan ng hagdan at napabuntong hininga.

"Ano pa nga ba." Mahinang usal ko.

Umupo ako agad sa tabi niya, leaving a space between us. We stayed for a minute not talking to each other, we're just watching the students passing by in front of us. Until he start talking.

"Sorry, nag-shutdown yung phone ko. I was suppose to tell you na 8 PM pala ang dating ng manager ng Alienation ph. Late na nang sinabi sa 'kin ni Loraine ang tungkol doon." He explained before looking on his shoes.

"Alas otso ang talagang meeting niyo pero alas sais palang nandoon kana."

"I'm sorry, I had no idea."

"Yes, because Loraine has the only person who has contact with the manager."

We became silent for a minute while looking at the students passing by when I felt his hand at the top of my hand. Napatingin ako agad sa kaniya na siyang nakatingin na sa 'kin. He leaned on me and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"I'm sorry, I love you." He then said while looking into my eyes.

I signed before cupping his right cheek and smiled.

"Apology accepted, I love you too." Usal ko bago hawakan ang isa pa niyang pisngi.

"Babawi ako ngayon, I really wanna meet your parents." Aniya na para bang ngayon palang ay gusto na nitong pumunta sa bahay.

"Yeah, actually si Papa talaga ang nagsabi na they wanna meet you tonight, ang plano ko sana ay kahapon to surprise them... but you didn't come."
Biglang mahinang usal ko bago napayuko pero pinigilan iyon ni William nang hawakan niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko tsaka iniharap sa kaniya.

"I will come tonight, I promise." Aniya habang nakangiti.

"You should, kasi bukas ay busy na sila at sa lunes ay aalis sila ng bansa."

"I will come tonight, okay?"

"Promise?" I said offering my pinky finger. He smiled before we do pinky swear.

We decided to eat breakfast together outside the campus first since may thirty minutes pa kami pareho before our first class.

"Gutom na gutom?" Natatawang aniya nang makita ang pagkain ko na dalawang rice at tig-isang order ng dalawang ulam at isang coffee.

"Yes, because I didn't ate my dinner last night." Sarkastikong usal ko bago nag umpisang kumain.

"And why?" Salubong ang kilay na aniya.

"Ask yourself." I said before rolling my eyes.

"Don't you dare do that again." Nagbabantang aniya at wala naman akong nagawa kung 'di ang um-oo.

We talk about their meeting last night and naging maganda naman daw ang naging usapan despite his irritation daw dahil ang aga nga raw nila tapos alas-otso pala ang dating ng mga taga Alienation ph. I'm so happy that finally he's going to enter pro scene, tanggap siya sa Alienation ph at kailangan na lamang pumirma sa contract which will be happening on their next meeting with the other members once mayroon nang isang member na mahanap. Wala pa raw exact date kung kailan ang meeting for the contract signing kaya probably baka biglaan na naman yon. As of now he needs to relax, I'm so happy that his pro scene is secured.
