Chapter 77: Chapter 77

"Oh my ghad..." I whispered as I looked at my naked body.

I carefully shifted my sight to the man who was fast asleep next to me. I blinked a few more times trying to stop my mouth from hanging wide open. The memories of last night came flooding back—how we talked, how I thought, how we made love.

"I won't allow you to come home without me becoming as your boyfriend."

I shut my eyes tight when Agustine's words lingered in my mind.

You're fvcking crazy, Khrystal!

My head was in fvcking turmoil. It's only four o'clock at dawn but my mind is full of things.

Last night, I told myself that he's my home. I freaking admitted to myself that I like him. Thinking about my thoughts that time, my heartbeat increased. Fear shook out my body.

What if... I'm wrong?

What if I was just carried away with happiness that is why I thought of those things? What if it's all just my illusion? What if the peace I felt at that time just pushed me to make a decision?

Agustine has been good to me since our fight. He treated me as a special person. I admit I liked all of that. It was new to me that another man was treating me well. That's why I'm afraid that... maybe I thought the peace I felt with him was love.

For the second time, I carefully stared at him. I tried to think it again, but my mind was really confused this time. Doubt was evident in my mind.

Did I really fell for him?

I stared at his gentle face. He's handsome. Day by day, I realized he's a good person. But still, I couldn't make myself believe that I fell for him.

It was just too fast.

Fearing that I had jumped to a wrong conclusion, I carefully pulled away from his embrace. Even though my body hurts from what we did last night, I forced myself to get out of the bed.

I found my clothes and put them on, enduring the pain in the middle of my thighs. Even though I was weak and running out of energy, I tried to leave Agustine's condo. Fortunately, he was in a deep sleep so he didn't notice me leaving.

I don't know how to face him.

I'm scared. Literally scared for the both of us. I don't want to disappoint him. Somehow he became my friend. But first I need to make up my mind. I don't want to face him with doubts about my own decision.

Over the years, I've realized that we shouldn't make decisions when we're happy or angry. It's confusing to think about, but there is a right place and time to make a good decision.

My eyes kept as I took a taxi after leaving the building. The driver asked me where he would drop me off but I couldn't answer. I can't go home or go to work because I know Agustine will come, we will meet by chance.

On cue, my phone beeped. I sat up straight thinking it was Agustine. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Nexus' name on the screen. I clicked on the notification that appeared and it went straight to our messages thread.

'Our batch has a mini reunion. Are you free? Would you like to come? Can you go home now to Vista Querencia?'

Usually, I don't really go when my classmates have meetings. I know that they really don't want me there. I'm an outcast. They were only forced to invite me because of my male friends. I heaved a deep breath and typed my reply, then put my phone back in my bag.

"Sir, head on to Vista Querencia," I informed the driver.

"K-KHRYSTAL," Nanny Luisa said in shock when she opened the door for me.

I smiled sparingly. She blinked a few times while staring at me. After a while, she cleared her throat and gently took me by the arm to help me go inside.

"You didn't say you were coming home," he said.

"It was unexpected. We have a scheduled reunion today," I explained and smiled again.

She frowned. When I was still young, I used to stay with Nanny, so I know why she reacted that way. I gave a giggled then tightly hugged her.

"For a change," I said even though she hadn't asked yet. "I missed you," I added and closed my eyes when she hugged me back.

"You're still a sweet talker, huh. Go ahead, go to your room and take another nap. The reunion that you're talking about will be in a few hours, rest first, you must be tired from a long travel," she said as she left me there.

I just smiled and nodded before started walking. It's too early, so I know Mommy is still sleeping, only some staff and Nanny are awake now, because I called her cellphone earlier to open the house.

"Are you all right, hija? Why do you seem to be walking strange?" there was a hint of concern in her voice.

I don't know whether to smile or be shy.

"I just overdid it while jogging yesterday. I'm about to sleep now Nanny," I excused myself.

“You’re really hard-headed, take care of yourself hija!" she said.

Fortunately, Nanny believed that and did not inquire any further.

I groaned when I laid down on my bed. My thighs were aching. My womanhood is also aching. I feel the warmth of my body even though I'm cold.

Damn that brute.

I let out a deep sigh when I remembered Agustine. I stared at the ceiling and. Asking, feeling, assuring. But the doubt was overflowing inside me so I just closed my eyes to rest.

Everything happened too fast.

I hadn't closed my eyes for a long time when I heard my cellphone buzzing. I slowly opened my eyes and lazily rummaged through my bag for it. Remained lying down. I thought it was Nexus—bugging me for the reunion. But I quickly sat down when I saw Agustine's name.

I cursed silently because of the sudden pain inside me. My chest pounded with nervousness as I saw his name on the screen. I just stared at it, and did not answered.

His call ended. I thought he was about to stop but immediately another call came in from his number. Like before, I just stared at it, not intending to answer.

I breathed heavily when a message popped up on my notification bar after his 5th call. I sweat and trembled when I opened it.

'Where are you?'

It was only three words but I could hear his baritone voice. I bit my bottom lip and pouted at the thought that even in the text you could feel the authority from him. I bet his jaw was clenching as he typed those words.

I was staring at his message when another text came in. I caught my breath and my cheeks burned when I read that.

'Seems like I didn't fvck you enough last night. You can still walk after that. You’re unbelievably bold, huh?'
