Nag-antay na lang ako sa sala katabi si ate. Si kuya Steph naghuhugas pinggan. Mga ilang minuto pa ay may kumatok na rin sa pinto nila. Tumayo na ako agad para pagbuksan dahil alam ko naman na si Lucas na yon.
Nang binuksan ko ang pinto ay mukha ng bebe ko bumungad sa akin.
"Good evening, Nate!" pagbati ni ate na nasa likod ko pala.
Nginitian ni Lucas si ate at saka siya nagsalita. "Good evening po."
Natawa si ate sa pag 'po' niya, "No need to use 'po' ano ka ba." sabi niya, tumatawa.
Lucas laughed awkwardly, "Sorry—"
"No need." my sister cut her off.
Nagpaalam na kami ni Lucas kay kuya Stephen bago umalis. When we got out of their condo I immediately clung in his arms.
"My princess is tired?" he asked when we rode the elevator.
I scrunched my nose then I spoke, "Kind of, you?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's go, so we can rest already." he said as we walked towards his car.
Saglit lang naman kami sa byahe dahil di naman ganon kalayo at di rin naman traffic kaya mabilis kaming nakarating sa condo ko.
"I'll just take a bath, you can go to our room and sleep na." sabi ko sa kanya nang makapasok kami dito sa condo ko. Parang nagulat pa siya sa sinabi ko kaya nagtaka ako sa kanya. "Bakit?" tanong ko.
"Our room?" hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya.
"It's kinda weird to say na 'my room' eh usually naman doon tayo natutulog. Some of your things are there rin?" tanong ko ulit.
His confused facial expression faded, and was changed to a mischievous smile. "Hmm... does this have a meaning? Are you indirectly communicating with me?" he raised his brows, the mischievous smile still on his face.
My brows immediately furrowed, "What?" I asked, yawning.
He laughed, "Nothing. You're sleepy na, just be fast so we can rest."
I gave him another confused look before I headed to 'my' room— I forgot that the bathroom was there. I guess, I really am tired. I didn't bother looking back at Lucas to know if he was following.
I didn't bathe that long since it's almost 2 AM. I still have to attend my class tomorrow. Paglabas ko ng banyo ay nakitang nakahiga na siya at nakatingin lang sa kisame. I just walked towards my closet then got my sleep wear— underwear, and a silk satin sleeveless top and shorts. Then I went back to the bathroom to do my skin care and dried my hair.
It didn't take that long. The second time I got out of the bathroom, Lucas was still in his position, but this time he looked at me as I walked towards the bed.
