Para akong masasamid sa sariling laway dahil sa sinabi niya. While I was too damn tensed, he looked so fucking calm, amused of my reaction!How can he like me? I mean…“I’m in love with your brother…” I reminded him, yet he only laughed at me.“No you’re not,” he said with confidence. “I can prove it.” My brows furrowed at his sudden movement. He put down the sandwich and leaned toward me in a swift move. Almost telling me that he’s ready to kiss in a public place!“Anong g-ginagawa mo?” Nauutal-utal pang sabi ko at bahagya siyang tinulak pero hindi naman nagpatinag ang loko.“Nakatingin ang kabit mo,” he said in a husky tone while he was too close to me. I know he’s pertaining to Chancellor, yet I don’t know what to do. The way he looked at me put me in such a dilemma. In a dilemma that I… think I actually know how to respond.When I locked my eyes on him, it didn’t make me want to look at where he was gesturing. Instead, my eyes dropped to his lips. It was red and plump, it was ver
I can feel my throat getting dry at his remarks. Hindi ko alam pero ang mga simple niyang salita ay may kakaibang dulot sa akin. I could feel my heart pounding so loud that I could hear nothing but it. It's beating so hard that it feels like it's coming out of my ribcage.I've never felt such emotions. Kailanman, hindi ko pa naranasan ang ganitong klaseng sensasyon. Funny how he’s the only one who can make me feel that way. He’s the only one that could stir my mind and make me question my own emotions. Do I… like him?“Paris, Chester!” Napatalon ako sa gulat nang marinig ang tawag ni Daddy. Because of his call, nagising ako at nawala sa mga iniisip. Naputol din ang titigan namin ni Chester at ang mga kalokohang gumugulo sa akin. “Why don’t you socialize up there? May mga naghihintay pa naman sa inyong mga bisita,” Dad said.I cleared my throat and immediately nodded. I think it’s better for me to socialize a bit before I lose my mind and sanity at our conversation. Chester is stirri
“Mag-ingat kayo sa pag-uwi, ah? Lumalalim na rin ang gabi at siguradong pagod na pagod na kayo pareho. Ingat kayo,” Nanang said as she closed the car door for me.Nginitian ko siya at saka marahang tumango kahit aminado akong humupa man ang pag-aalala ay hindi pa rin iyon lubusang nawala.“Kayo po ang mag-ingat, ah? Tatawag ako palagi at bibisita,” asik ko. Hindi ko alam kung naexcite ba siya roon. Sa palagay ko ay hindi dahil nag-aalala lang siyang ngumiti sa akin. “Mauuna na po kami. Maraming salamat sa pagpapaunlak,” Chester said after he started the car's engine. Nilingon ko siya at nakita ang mabait na ngiting iginawad kay Nanang. Though he always looked dangerous and cunning, he smiled genuinely.“S-Salamat din. Oh, siya, sige na.”Wala na akong nagawa nang paandarin ni Chester ang sasakyan paalis ng bahay ni Nanang. Actually, I felt a bit relaxed knowing that she arrived safe and unharmed. That's all that I wanted.“Feeling relaxed now?” Chester asked as he continued driving.
Fuck. Damn it, shit!I groaned so much when I felt like something was pounding my head so badly. Nanunuyo ang lalamunan at parang anumang oras ay masusuka. God, I badly need some water or I might pass out kahit kagigising ko lang!I held my throbbing head, trying to figure out if the laugh I heard was from my damn imagination. “That’s what you get for drinking so much. Here, drink some.”With my eyes half-open, I tried to pull myself up para lang mailapat ang labi ko sa basong lumapit sa akin. Drinking the cold water felt like heaven! Gosh, kailan ba ang huling beses na uminom ako ng tubig at bakit ganito?“Wake up, sleepy head. I can almost see those perfect and round sights up from here. Care to hide them properly, please?”My brows furrowed when he started talking gibberish. Perfect and round–what?!Mabilis kong iminulat ang mata ko nang marealize ko kung anong sinabi ni Chester. And I almost cursed when I saw my chest almost popping out of the damn silk robe!“Damn it.” I quickly
It's been a week–no. Two maybe? No. It's less than two weeks, pero sa tingin ko mababaliw na ako rito! Although I had my phone, I never even got the chance to touch it or even look at it.Chester's been bugging my whole system, at pakiramdam ko kaunting kaunti na lang talaga ay sasabog na ang ulo ko sa dami ng nangyayari. More so, my mind will explode completely because Chester's been stirring it up.Pilit kong sinasaksak sa utak ko na kailan lang, patay na patay ako at halos ibigay ko na ang sarili ko sa kapatid niya. In fact, I was so into him for years! Pero bakit kay Chester… ilang araw lang…“Are you awake?”My heart pounds so wildly every time he knocks on the door and asks that softly. His voice was hoarse, probably because he has just woken up. At pagkakagising niya mula sa kabilang kwarto, he'll go straight to my door and knock to see if I woke up. It’s been kinda like his habit.Kaya hindi na ako nagulat nang pagbukas ko ng pinto, bumungad sa akin ang magulo niyang pigura. H
When a little ray of sunshine hit my face, I couldn’t help but groan a little as my brows furrowed as well. Gusto ko pa sanang matulog dahil sa pinaghalong puyat, pagod, at sakit ng katawan, but the light and heat from the sun slightly annoyed me.I opened my eyes to peek at the blinds, but there were all closed properly. May isa nga lang na hindi sumagad sa dulo. Hmm, maybe I’ll just go tuck into Chester or whatever. His body is huge enough to cover the sunlight. I’m damn sure of it.“Ches…” I tried to open my eyes again to look at him pero napakunot ang noo ko nang makitang wala na siya roon.Huh? Nasaan siya?Parang biglang nawala ang antok ko nang tuluyang maiproseso na wala nga talaga siya sa tabi ko. I used to read this in different novels, and I think it’s reasonable to feel a bit empty after waking up without him beside you after sharing a memorable night. And no matter how much I try to deny it, I know I’m about close to feel that way.I know I’m about to feel so worthless un
I breathed heavily and disregarded the disappointment when he took his phone and walked away to answer the call. Sa halip na sundan siya, I feel like I’m really not in the mood to do so. He’s allowed to have his secrets, right? That's his right.I sighed and simply took the wine bottle. This has been my way to cope. Every time I don’t have my answers with a clear and straight mind, maybe I could solve it with drunk thoughts? Well, it doesn’t really work every time. Sometimes, I just… pass out.A few minutes passed before I felt someone remove the bottle from my hand and held my head para idantay iyon sa kanyang dibdib. Damn, why am I wasted already?“You’ve drank so much. Continue this, and you’ll be the death of me,” he said. I just giggled when I realized that we have the same thoughts. Pakiramdam ko rin kasi, siya ang magiging dahilan ng maaga kong pagkamatay.“You’re frustrating me too, so don’t get me started,” I whispered, which I know made him frown. “I frustrate you? How so?”
“The sea looks absolutely stunning. Let's swim?” she suddenly said habang nasa may patio kami.My brows furrowed. “I thought your head hurts so badly that you just want to explode?”She continued sipping on her juice. “Hangovers can wait, the sea can't!” she said back na mas nagpakunot ng noo ko. “That doesn’t make any sense,” I whispered. It really doesn’t. Hindi naman mawawala ang dagat na iyan diyan. I’m more worried about her than any sea in the world. If she wants, we can stay here hanggang magsawa siya sa paglalangoy sa dagat. But for now, just please rest, Paris!“Neither do I.” What?My jaw dropped when she immediately stood up and removed the wayfarers I lent her. Kasunod noon ay ang akma niyang pagtatanggal sa suot na oversized white shirt in front of people! Oh goodness.“Paris!” I immediately stood up and pulled the hem of her shirt bago pa ako tuluyang atakihin sa puso. I saw how her eyes widened when I did that. Nang subukan niya pang hilahin ulit paitaas, I lost all c
