The Last Of Her Kind

Chapter 8

"I got to admit I didn't expect to see you here, " he whispered into my ear, sending chills down to my spine.

I met his stern gaze as we both started swaying at the music. I tried to struggle a bit from his grasp but he remained his hands firm on my waist.

"Neither did I," I said with distaste.

Tinignan ko siya nang mariin at sinusubukan na panatilihing walang emosyon ang aking mukha kundi pagkairita lamang. Ayokong makita niya ang aking pagkailang sa sobrang lapit niya sa'kin.

Matagal na simula ng huli kaming nagkita. I could assure that we both loathe each other as the day we first met.

"Well, I wouldn't mind having some new entertainment here in the academy." My blood immediately boiled with what he said.

"I am no entertainment of yours. "

My fingers grazed on his neck, digging my nails deeper.

He flinched from the pain as a small amount of blood trickled down from his neck, still helding an amused face.

"Feisty."

He suddenly dipped me, bringing me closer to his body as he pulls me back. The rhythm suddenly became faster when the violins started playing. His steps became more passionate, faster, and dangerous.

"I don't think you know how much I hate you," sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"Oh trust me love, I know, " he said with a smirk, caressing my waist.

"Get your filthy hands off me. " I gritted my teeth.

"So... you don't find me just a little bit attractive?" He pulled me closer to him.

"Over my dead body, " madiin kong sabi.

"Well your body says otherwise, gorgeous, " he suddenly breathed into my neck.

I stiffened as he stopped and placed his cold hands under my chin. He leans down, hovering right above my lips.

Bigla akong napugutan ng hininga ng papalit nang papalit siya sa akin.

"It's betraying you. "

I met his eyes.

Nanlamig ang aking mga kamay at tila'y pati siya ay natuliro sandali nang tignan ko rin ang kaniyang mga mata. His eyes were a beautiful shade of dark brown.

Para akong nalulunod sa kaniyang madilim na mga tingin. He would've passed for a god.

Bigla akong dumistansya nang mapagtanto kung gaano na siya kalapit sa akin.

All of the sudden, I took the lead but he quickly pulled me back closer. It was like a war, where none of us wants to be dominated. Our movements were out of control and the breathless sighs from the audience wouldn't release the tension between us. However, I wouldn't let him lead the dance.

Hindi ako magpapatalo dahil masyado ako nanggigigil sa kaniya ngayon. He thinks that he's above everyone else.

Well I refuse to be someone inferior to him. My pride refuses so. Dapat galit ako sa kaniya ngayon. The gods know how badly I want to wipe that smirk off of his face.

"You disgust me. "

"Why? Would you prefer dancing with my brother rather than me?"

His sternly gaze was cutting through my thoughts, making it impossible to focus. The dim moonlight made his expression even more controlling as he was able to hear my relentless breathing clearly.
