Chapter 17: I like you, SkyeBut before I could get out of his bed, he walked over to the edge and kneeled in front of me. He cupped my face and looked me in the eyes. "How come you're crying if you don't like me?""I-I said, I don't know. Hindi ko sinabing hindi," nanginig ang labi ko kasabay ng pagtulo ng luha ko. "Oh, Skye, you're making me weak," he groaned, wiping away my tears. "I'm not sure if you like me, but I like you, Skye. I like you so much!" He was adamant about what he wanted to do. "May I kiss you?" He was staring at me intently.Lumaki ang mga mata ko kasabay ang tumatambol kong puso. But before I could respond, his lips were already on mine. His hands were on the back of my neck, drawing me closer to him. I quickly closed my eyes and began allowing him access inside my mouth, where his tongue began to tease my tongue. I don't know how to kiss so he let me follow the movement of his lips and tongue, and I soon began kissing him back.Then he gently drew away, tracing
Chapter 18: I like you, tooHindi pa maliwanag ngunit nagising na ako. I felt an arm wrap around my waist, possessively hugging me as if I were about to flee. Umikot ako ng marahan at humarap sa kanya, he is sleeping like an angel. Payapa ang noo niyang laging nakakunot tuwing makikita niya ako noon. Maliwanag ang bukas ng mukha niya na para bang hindi ako ipinagtatabuyan noon. Who could tell that this guy now likes me? Napakaimposible pero naniniwala akong gusto talaga niya ako.I needed to sleep more, so I snuggled into his chest and fell asleep."Miss Torres, get up. You still have a class to attend," A seductive voice whispered in my ear, and then I felt him smack my lips. I heard him open the curtains and peered through them. The sun had risen, and various shades of yellow, red, lilac, and blue were already dancing in the sky.I groaned and reached for the comforter to cover my body, but he stopped me, and I slowly opened my eyes. My professor is standing in front of me with his
Chapter 19: Sweet Glances That morning, I had no idea that a pair of eyes had noticed me as Angelo and I getting off the jeepney."Have you checked yourself in the mirror before going out of your house?" bulong niya sa akin after we passed the entrance gate. "Hindi. Nagmadali kasi akong nag-ayos, hindi na nga ako nakapag-make up. May morning glory ba ako?" Itinapat ko sa kanya ang mukha ko, sabay kurap ng mga mata ko. I even wipe my eyes using my index finger. "M-may dalawa kang chikinini sa leeg." Naiilang niyang sabi sabay tingin sa paligid namin. My eyes widened! Nataranta ako at mabilis ang kamay kong hinanap ang compact mirror sa bag at tiningnan ang repleksiyon ko roon. "Shit! Mauna na ako, ha?" Hindi ko na hinintay ang sagot niya. Naglakad ako ng mabilis habang nakatakip ang kanang kamay ko sa leeg ko. Then I passed the parking lot where Professor McConaughey's car had just stopped."What's going on?" He asked, smirking. Nakatingin siya sa kamay kong nakahawak sa leeg ko. "
Chapter 20: Courage "Mukhang hindi na yata darating ang espesyal na bisita mo, anak. Why don't you go home and rest? Alas onse y medya na."Mom went to the VIP Room, where I was supposed to meet my Professor for dinner. He's my guest, and I'm his server, gaya ng napagkasunduan namin kanina. Ngunit maghahating-gabi na ay wala pa siya. He isn't even returning my phone calls or messages. Tumawag ako kanina sa faculty at nag-inquire kung naroon pa si Professor ngunit alas siyete pa lang daw ay umalis na siya.Did he just stand me up on our first date?"Another thirty minutes, mom. Uuwi na po ako kapag hindi siya dumating," walang-gana kong sabi."Sige, ikaw na ang bahala sa kanya. I also need to sleep at the staff house, napagod ako ngayong araw. Call Robert para maihatid ka niya pauwi," tukoy niya sa isa sa mga server na nakanight-duty.Before leaving, she kissed the top of my hair. Kinuha ko naman ang mobile phone ko at tinawagan ang lalakeng iyon. Ngunit nakatatlong tawag na ako, hind
Chapter 21: Heart-to-Heart TalkNamalayan ko na lamang na naglalakad ako papasok ng bahay ni Professor McConaughey. The lights are still on, but Skye isn't in her usual sleeping spot. I mustered the courage to go upstairs, where I found my Professor sitting in front of his bed. Ngayon ko lang napagtuunan ng pansin ang kuwarto niya. His bedroom was pitch black, but his ceiling was white. It was a stunning and manly room. His bedside lamps are also all black. Pero may touch ng gold dahil sa chandelier niyang gold crystals. May balcony siya facing the seaside at meron din sa harap ng kuwarto ko.May mini library siya sa right side at may working space din pala siya rito. Workaholic talaga.Lumakad ako at lumapit sa kanya. "What do I want this time?" Inunahan ko na siya. Ganoon kasi lagi ang welcome greeting niya sa akin.Hindi niya ako pinansin. Itinungga lang niya ang hawak niyang beer in a can. Umupo ako sa tabi niya at kumuha rin ng isa. I opened it, and he looked at me. Itinungga ko
Chapter 22: Baby, Meet Me"Skye!" tawag sa akin ni Miss Laviene, a third-year student at the LU Young Hoteliers and Restaurateurs Society, isang University organization na kinabibilanangan ko."Po?" sagot ko. Nilingon ko siya habang hawak ang gunting at ang letter H na kasalukuyan kong ginugupit. Nagkalat sa monoblock table ang ibang mga letra at ang mga iyon ay ididikit mamaya sa announcement ng bulletin board ng org namin."Could you please forward this to the Faculty department?" pakiusap niya habang hawak niya ang isang folder.Inilapag ko ang hawak ko at tumayo. Kinuha ko mula sa kanya ang folder ngunit muntik na akong maubo sa sumunod niyang sinabi."Professor Hugh must sign it."Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. "Bakit ako?"She moved her gaze around, as I did. Abala ang lahat sa kanilang ginagawa. I bite my inner cheek, dahil magsisimula nang kumabog ang dibdib ko sa excitement."I believe he is busy overseeing the theses of the graduating students. Kung kaya mong sumingit sa pila s
Chapter 23: First DateFrom: H.I'm outside. You may now leave the library. Iniligpit ko muna ng dahan-dahan ang mga notes at pen ko bago ko siya nireplayan. I'm a little nervous about our first date, but mostly excited.From: June Skye TorresAren't you worried that someone might see us?Wala pang ilang segundo ay nagreply na siya.From: H.I'm not. Don't worry, I used my other car. Nasa tapat ako ng 7-eleven. Black car, Porshe.Hindi ko na siya nireplayan. I stuffed all of my notes into my bag and hugged my workbooks. Agad akong umiskapo habang abala ang mga kaibigan kong nagsusulat dito sa library. Napailing na lang ako dahil hindi nila napansin ang pag-alis ko.Nakasalubong ko pa si Angelo palabas ng campus. "Papasok ka na niyan?" tanong ko. Nakasuot na siya ng civilian, marahil ay nagpalit sa men's toilet."Oo. Ikaw? Uuwi ka na ba? Kaya mo naman nang magcommute mag-isa, 'di ba?"Tumango ako ngunit sa totoo lang may kaunti pa rin akong kaba tuwing sasakay ako ng jeepney. Magagama
Chapter 24: Bewitched By My ProfessorWhen I woke up the next morning, the water's surface was gleaming as the sun slowly rose. I could also hear the whistles of seabirds outside. Napakagandang pagmasdan ngunit hungkag ang pakiramdam ko nang maramdaman kong wala na sa tabi ko si Hugh.But when he walked into the cabin, my eyes lit up.He was holding a breakfast tray on which was prepared a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich served between waffles and milk tea. He set the breakfast tray on the bedside table and leaned down to kiss my lips. I initially turned away, not wanting him to taste my morning breath, but he took both of my hands in his and kissed me on the lips.Inirapan ko siya habang binabasa niya ang labi niya gamit ang dila niya. "What?" He asked, smiling."Sana pagsepilyuhin mo muna ako bago mo ako halikan. Ikaw fresh breath na, ako bad breath pa."Tumawa siya at yumugyog ang balikat niya. Inulit niya ulit ang ginawa niya. He held the back of my neck and he nibbled on my lowe
