His grip on my wrist is tight. His jaw clenched, eyebrows furrowed and lips on a grim line.
I am so mad at him. But I can't help but still appreciate this beauty getting mad over a 'stunt' I pulled back there.
"What the fck, Grettel?" Mariin niyang bulong, stopping on our tracks.
"Let me go, Ethan. Masakit." I said with a tone unknown even to myself. I have always longed for his touch. But with the pain I'm feeling right now, just merely looking at his face ties my heart in a knot.
"We will talk, Grettel." He said, pinning my arm to the wall. I guess it's pretty evident that all I want at this moment is to escape. I'm out of breath at pakiramdam ko'y iiyak na ako sa kaunting sandali nalang.
"Wala tayong pag-uusapan, Ethan." Garalgal kong tugon.
"Stop being so stubborn, ano bang problema mo?" He said sternly.
"Wala akong problema, Ethan. I was having fun--"
"You call that fun? Well I was not amused. You are obviously acting strange." Tumigil ako sa pagpupumiglas at tinitigan siya sa mata. Tears brimmed in the corner of my eyes and I felt him soften his grip on my arm. Bumukas ang kaniyang bibig but no words came out as he watched me cry helplessly in front of him. Something, he never seen before from me.
"Ang unfair mo, Ethan. Ang unfair mo sobra." Hikbi ko na hindi niya matugunan.
"One moment you hold my hand, and then you push me away. You'd tell me the sweetest lies and then kiss another girl. And then you chase me all the way here like a freaking mad man!." Sinubukan niya akong lapitan pero umaatras ako sa bawat hakbang niya.
Paniguradong wala siyang masabi, ni kailan man ay wala siyang narinig sa akin.
Ni minsan man ay hindi ko pinakita sakaniya tuwing nasasaktan ako. Pero sa tingin ko tama na. Sa tingin ko huli na ito.
"Of course you weren't amused, I have always been all over you. Which you hated also by the way. And no, I wasn't acting strange. I just finally came to my senses "
He looked away with a glint of who knows in his eyes. But right now, I couldn't give any sht because the feeling is too heavy. So I ran when I got the chance.
I felt relief when I got away, but I know for sure I wished he went after me to beg me to stay.
