May's POV (Elena)

I woke up na namamanhid ang kanang kamay ko. I stared at the ceiling for a moment, a familiar space. I looked around and saw the ever-annoying Chase holding my hand while peacefully sleeping. I tried to move my hands but my movement woke him up.

"Okay ka na ba? May masakit ba?" he worriedly asked me.

His reaction triggered a distant memory...

"Mom! Ate Elena is awake! Dad! Ate Misty! Wake up!" Winter shouted while standing beside the hospital bed.

I look around, trying to figure out where we are. The last thing I remember is having a headache in P.E class then everything went black and we were taken to the hospital. Nagising si Dad at nagmamadaling tumawag ng nurse. Misty smiled at me

"Finally! The princess has awoken from her deep slumber!" Misty teasingly commented

"I thought you were waiting for a prince charming to kiss you," Winter giggled

Nagising si mom at nagmadaling lumapit sa akin. I saw her worried face as she held my hand.

"Okay ka na ba? May masakit ba anak?" she worriedly asked me

When I blinked, I noticed Chase's dumbfounded expression. Warm liquid streamed into my cheeks. What was that? A memory... another memory. It was a memory of Elena when everything was perfect. It felt very real.

"Hush, is there something wrong baby?" malambing na tanong ni Chase.

He glanced at me as he brushed my tears away with his thumb. I'm not sure why, but instead of being annoyed by his presence as usual, I'm relieved that he's here alongside me right now.

"I just remembered something," I replied while looking away from his stares.

I was caught off guard when a memory of Luke hugging me flashed. I felt my cheeks heated. He has a very manly smell and his touch was very electrifying. Naramdaman ko ang mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko. This familiar feeling... Then something hit me. Am I really attracted to my boss's boyfriend? This is bad.

"Want something to eat?" Chase suddenly asked.

I merely nodded; I think my head is still floating in space. I can still feel Luke's warm embrace, and I can't stop my heart from racing. Chase suddenly kissed my forehead, jolting me back to reality. Napabangon ako ng wala sa oras.

"What the hell Chase?!" I shouted.

He just pouted and kissed my cheeks. What the hell?! What is he a kissing maniac?! What the hell is wrong with him?! Why is he acting like I am his? For heaven's sake, we're not even lovers! He engulfed me in his arms.

"I was really pissed off when I heard from Misty that... that jerk hugged you," he whispered in my ears.

I can feel his warm breath in my ears. Urgh, annoying. So what if Luke hugged me? He has no rights na pakailaman ang buhay ko. I am my own person. And him being interested in me is not an excuse for him trying to control my life.

"If there's a jerk here. It's you, Chase," I said nonchalantly.

Hinawakan niya ang braso ko and confronted me with a solemn expression. What's the deal with this guy?! He opened his mouth and was about to speak when the door suddenly opened at iniluwa si Yummie na umiiyak.

"May! Papatayin mo ako sa kaba! Bestie naman!" pagrereklamo niya before giving me tight hug and pushing Chase away.

She leaned her head to my shoulder habang humihikbi. I don't know what to do so I just patted her back trying to console her. I have never comforted anyone.

"I guess I need to go," Chase excused his self pero pinigilan siya ni Yummie.

"Sir Chase please pakibantayan muna si May, ikukuha ko kasi siya ng damit at pagkain," Yummie explained.

I narrowed my eyes to her pero 'di niya ako pinansin. I don't want to be alone with that guy! Chase nodded and gave Yummie a smile.

"Salamat po talaga! Pasensya na po talaga sir," Yummie sincerely thanked him,

"Drop the sir. You can call me Chase, and wala naming kaso sa akin kung ako mismo maging personal nurse ni May" he said as he winked at me

"No thank you. I don't need a jerk and perverted nurse," I said, annoyed

Ew. Can I puke right now? I detest this guy's audacity. Tsk. Yummie simply smiled and went out of the room. Chase sat next to me, pretending to cough. I locked my gaze on him. Why is he sitting on the patient's bed when I am the patient?

He playfully smiled, "I guess, it's just you and me now."

I rolled my eyes and averted my vision to another direction. He suddenly hugged me kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

"Don't complain. You made me really worried. I'm exhausted. I need to recharge," he said in a low voice.

He seems really exhausted. Did he actually take care of me while I was asleep? I felt his heavy breathing. What did he mean by the needs to recharge?

"I just want to hug you and never let go," he commented causing my cheeks to burn up.

What is wrong with him?! Pinasukan ba siya ng masamang ispirito? Well, I mean he is bad and annoying but urgh. I don't know this Chase. Is this his new way to piss me? Well, congratulation because it's hella effective. I felt his hug tighten

"One day, I found myself smiling for no reason," ipinatong niya ang chin niya sa balikat ko

I rolled my eyes. What's with him being clingy today? I don't get him. Can't he just go away and leave me alone. Dumadagdag lang siya sa stress ko tsk.

"That's just proof that you're crazy." I accused him.

Instead of getting mad, he just smiled at me and stared into my eyes

"Perhaps I am," he said, "crazy for you." He continued making my brows raise.

Urgh, stupid Chase. What the eff is wrong with him?! Did those lines really work on other girls? Are they stupid? I heard a loud thud which caused us to look at the door.

"Oops. Nakasira ba ako ng moment? Ah, sige lang ituloy niyo lang," Yummie said with a wide grin on her face.

Chase just chuckled at inilapit ang bibig niya sa tainga ko. This man is driving me nuts! Strangely, I don't feel uncomfortable with him being crazy again.

"I was thinking about you," he said in a seductive voice

My eyes widened and out of instinct, I pushed him causing him to fall.

"Ganyan ka ba kiligin? Sadist," pagmamaktol ni Chase.

I covered my face with my hands trying to conceal my bright red face. How could he say something embarrassing?! Hindi ako kinikilig but he is just way too corny! Tss, he is really good in pissing me off tss. I glared at Yummie. This is all her fault

"Come one! 'Di mo naman kailangan magalit nasira ko ang moment niyo ni Chase, sabi ko ipagpatuloy niyo lang. May nakalimutan lang akong kunin," she teasingly defended herself.

Urgh, I am sure I am as red as a tomato now. Chase was about to sit beside me when I threw my pillow at him. I need my personal space!

"Don't you dare Rodriguez!" I warned him.

Chase and Yummie stared at each other for a second at sabay na tumawa. Are they having fun frustrating me? Urgh, these guys.
