Eight
I sighed and groaned when I felt strong arms squeezed my belly.
My eyes flew open in realization when it hit me.
I'm not in my own room!
The sunlight nearly blinded me when I opened them so I have to shy away from its glare making me scoot closer to the man behind me.
I could feel his breath fanning at my nape and he suppressed his groan.
"Quit it, woman. You're making it hard for me." His hoarse voice mumbled and buried his face on my back.
I felt my insides shivered at his breath.
I winced realizing how close we were in his bedroom.
I moved away from him while his head still bent over his side and I clung to his comforter.
I immediately snuck a peek inside the comforter and sighed in relief when I saw that I am still dressed and him with his shirt on.
I tried to stand but he pulled me towards him making me fall back to the bed.
"Ano ba! Kahapon ka pa, hatak ng hatak!" I protested and he chuckled while he started to open his eyes.
"Good morning, Mara." Jacob greeted me with his killer smile and I scooted away from him.
This time, I was able to got up from the bed and gave one last look at him before saying, "Uuwi na ako. Naggrocery ako ng kaunti kahapon dahil walang laman ang ref mo. Cook something you like kung andoon ang ingredients na gusto mo."
He stood up and touched his hair before meeting my eyes.
"Thanks for staying and taking care of me, Mara." Jacob said sincerely. "Can you stay a little bit? I'll treat you out for breakfast."
"Just because, weekend ngayon, doesn't mean you should go out and party. May sakit ka pa. " I said to him.
"Stop making me fall harder for you." Jacob said and my cheeks warmed up to his words. "Breakfast lang tayo. Samahan mo na ako, please? Pasasalamat ko na din sa pag-aalaga sa akin."
I sighed and gave in. "Okay. Just this once. I still have a lot to catch up at home."
"Yes, Ma'am!" Jacob said with enthusiasm and he actually clapped his hands.
Without a warning, he stormed up to me and held my hand which made me almost gasp in surprise.
He led me to his kitchen and let go of my hand.
For a moment, I was speechless. I am not used to the attention this guy is giving me.
Everything is new to me.
I am innocent in these kind of things.
I never had a boyfriend. And, I do not want to assume.
Jacob is just being nice.
And, I am too.
That's all there is to it.
My thoughts were distracted when out of nowhere, he placed a decent amount of rice on my plate.
Bacon and hotdogs were cooked in only a matter of minutes. Canned pineapple juice was served and soon, we are having our breakfast.
We ate our breakfast in silence. Neither wants to start a conversation.
The funny thing about the silence is it was not awkward.
Just a peaceful breakfast between two people.
I wiped the corners of my mouth with a table napkin after I drank my juice. I put on the glass just in time with his and we suddenly looked at each other, realizing what we just both did.
It was weird but we started to laugh.
"Sabay talaga natapos? At simot ang plato? Gutom na gutom ka, gorl?" Jacob asked in his usual tone, the spontaneous and perky attitude.
I laughed and I shook my head.
"Sorry naman! Ginutom ako, kaka-alaga sayo!" I shot back in a teasing tone.
Jacob laughed.
Before he said anything, I stood up and cleared the plates.
"Hey! Hindi na need gawin yan! This is my house!" Jacob protested.
"And, I am your visitor. So, it's only normal that I do these things." I answered back.
Jacob could only scratched his head and surrendered.
"Alright, thanks." He said and helped me place the plates and utensils at the sink.
That was how our morning started. I was able to go home by ten and my sister, Amira, shot me a glare when I passed by her room.
I frowned and let it pass. I will just talk to her later.
I just want to rest before I do my pending projects this weekend.
