STILL YOU

CHAPTER 2

"Saint", Zee wrapped his arms around Saint's waist as Saint cooked for their dinner.
"P'Zee. I'm cooking here", Saint continued as if he's not bothered at all.

"Hmm..", he pouted. "I just wanna hug you that's all. I missed you, you literally ignored me for the whole week"  he crossed his face through Saint's shoulder now facing at him.

"I'm sorry, you know I had my exam.", Saint turned around, now facing Zee and he cupped his face. "If I lingered around you, I'll end up  staring with you all day"

"I know, and I understand. That's why I deserve a reward, didn't I?", Zee smirked as Saint teasingly raised his brows.Zee's eyes suddenly changed from sweet to a seductive one. Saint noticing it, he smiled, and suddenly give a peck on Zee's lips, leaving Zee blinking as he was surprised.

"What was that?", Zee asked.

"A reward. You asked me for a reward, you should have told me what you waaant..", Saint only smirked.

"Hey!"  Saint only smiled not breaking his eye-contact with Zee, and Zee couldn't help but fall into Saint's shoulder.

"Why do you have to be so cute!", He murmured underneath Saint's neck. Saint giggle. "I love you"

"I love you too", Saint played with Zee's hair. Zee looked at Saint, shifting from eyes to his lips and slowly lessen the distance. Their lips about to touch when the oil sizzled. They only looked at each other, until the room was filled with their laughter.

Zee crashed in the sink as he remembers everything. His very room filled with their memories. He couldn't help but remember and tears to swell waiting for it to escape. He bit his lips as he cried.

Couch..

Saint lying his head on Zee's lap reading. Saint's so absorbed in reading that he didn't noticed Zee was looking at him. Zee played with his hair."Babe?", Zee finally spoke.

"Hm?", Saint looked at him, closing his book. Zee smiled.

"Live with me?" Zee smoothly said it but he's so nervous of what he's about to hear. Saint look at him, and suddenly laughed. "Eh? Why are you laughing?",

"Nothing, it's just that, I think I'm already living with you", Saint replied. "I have my own space of clothes in your closet, my personal stuff we're located anywhere in your house and I basically stay here in your condo more than my own. If my condo could talk, he'll probably curse at me for choosing you than him.", Saint gave a little laugh and Zee followed.

"Well, you're right." Zee smiled and Saint's eyes sparkled.

"God! I could never get enough with your smile. You're so handsome, my koala", Saint sat on Zee's lap facing him.

"What are you doing?", Zee's eyes widen.

"Can I kiss you?", Saint wrapped his hand around Zee's neck. Zee smirked.

"You don't have to ask, my bunny", Zee drawn Saint's face into him and gently pressed his lips into Saint's. The kiss was soft, sweet and contented.

"I love you", Saint murmured in between. Zee smiled.

"I love you too.", Zee replied as they continue kissing.

Zee couldn't take it anymore took his keys and ran out of his condo. Saint's things still there, clothes, everything.

It's already late and Saint in time closed his book and stood away from his desk. He gazed his clock and the red lights from it's showed that it's already 9 pm.

"Oh, I forgot to eat.", Saint laughed on himself as lately he often get lost of time and forget his meals. Which never been happened before as food is already his friend. He sighed. "Guess its better to eat", he murmured. He stood and went out of his room straight to kitchen. After his break-up with Zee, Saint eventually stayed in his condo again. He felt lost despite it's his own condo. He got too accustomed to Zee's environment. Zee's smell that lingers wherever part of his condo is. He so lost that even though all lights were on, he couldn't see anything but darkness and sometimes foumd himself lying on the floor, crying. He was betrayed by the person he loved the most. He's hurt. It's just recently that he got to at least feel like he's starting to see the light again. Saint opened his fridge finding nothing to eat at all.

"Haha, I even forgot to buy groceries. What's happening with you, Sup! Wake up." He looked up and found a cup noodles. He sighed. "Yes baby, it's our time again"

Saint is waiting for his noodle to be ready until he heard knock on his door. He pouted as he wonder who might be visiting at that hour. As he went closer, he saw Zee standing outside biting his lips through his monitor. He stopped and just looked at him as tears starting to form in his eyes. His chest felt so stuffed that he couldn't breathe.

"Saint, I know you're there. Please! Please talk to me", Zee's voice cracked as he leaned himself on the door. "Please Saint", Saint backed off. He couldn't bear to watch his man cry. The man whom he loved, the man who also broke his heart. He backed off, he decided not to listen to him anymore. He's hurt, he decided to move on from him.

"Saint, talk to me. For the last time, at least. Talk to me and I promised not to bother you after this. Just give me another chance to explain myself", Zee begged. Saint's heart frozed. He sighed as he looked to ceiling..God, what should I do, Saint thought.
"Saint, please!", Zee begged even more.
As Zee continue crying, he felt the door budge in, and he saw Saint standing before him, eye's filled with tears.

"Talk!", Saint said.

"Saint, I..", Zee was about to touch Saint when...

"Don't you dare touch me. Stay there.", Saint's voice cracked. Zee's heart squeezed. He don't wanna see Saint cry, he don't off all things.

"Okay", he backed off, biting his lips.

"Talk now, whatever you wanna say.", Saint trying not to cry any longer.

"I hate seeing you cry, you I know that", Zee started murmuring. "I know I made a terrible mistake of not telling you that my dad has set me on a marriage without my consent, I never planned to fool you. And I'll never be. I couldn't find the right timing, and I'm scared that you'll leave me",

"Don't you trust me? Why hide it from me? You know what I hate most P'. Of all people, why did you have to this?", Saint yelled as the tears finally escaped from his eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know you won't forgive me but still, I'll apologise. I also meant what I said earlier, after this I wont bother you anymore. I'm happy that you at least gave me the chance to talk to you for the last time. Thank you", Zee faintly smiled as he looked to Saint who's crying. Zee's heart broke into pieces, he couldn't help but held Saint's face, inspite Saint shrugged him off. He cupped his face and Saint stopped. "Please, take care of yourself. You lost weight. Please,.please!", Saint's already crying hard. "Stop crying na.. No matter what happens, I love you, Saint, I really do." Zee wiped Saint's tears through his thumb and slowly removing his hand from Saint's face. Saint closed his eyes. "I love you" , for the last time, Saint felt Zee's lips on his forehead. "I love you Saint",

Saint could hear the footsteps as Zee head away. The moment he opened his eyes, Zee was gone, and there, Saint flopped down and cried. Zee in the way was also crying. Instead, of going straight to his condo, he went to the bar and drown himself with liquor.Saint went to school next morning, his eyes are slightly swollen after crying that night. Unexpectedly, he met Zee on the opposite, their gaze connected. But they only passed each other in the end.
