When The Flower Withers (Fleur Series #1)

Chapter 2

"Go away!"

I rolled my eyes at him. He just smirked and sauntered towards the chair across me and sat on it. He even rested his right leg on his left leg while his left hand was holding a glass wine. What he did was very simple but his stance really screamed with so much of confidence. He really knew what he was doing.

T'wing may ginagawa talaga siya, ang lakas ng dating. Siguro kahit mangulangot 'to maglalaway pa rin mga babae sa kaniya. Pero hindi ako makiki-isa sa kanila 'no.

Please lang. Never.

"Worn-out?" he asked as if we were close as he started playing the pendant of his necklace.

"Why do you care?" Inirapan ko ulit siya.

Ngumisi na naman siya sa naging sagot ko kaya mas lalo akong nainis. What's with his presence and his smirks!? Does he think he's attractive everytime he smirks? Hell no. Nakakainis kaya! Ang yabang-yabang at ang hangin ng dating.

"I was just asking. Ba't ba inis na inis ka?" tanong niya pa talaga habang nakangiti nang pang-asar.

"Will you stop smiling like that!" I said, indignantly. Nakakapag-init talaga ng ulo 'yong ngiti niyang 'yan.

He let out a throaty chuckle and it just teased me even more. "My smile is my best asset, Primrose. Many girls have fallen with my smile. Don't you like it?" He asked and smiled widely again.

He even rubbed his chin, bit his lower lip and raised his thick eyebrows up and down.

I gave him a what-the-fuck-are-you-doing look. "I'm a woman not a girl. Imprint that on your mind, Ash." I rolled my eyes again after saying his name.

He leaned his back on chair and silence prevailed upon us. "Were you always busy?" he asked again as he took a sip of wine.

Medyo seryoso na 'yong mukha niya kaya hindi na ako nagmaldita. "Not really," sagot ko.

"Why were you always ignoring my chats, then?" He pouted his lips a little.

"I only gave you my social media accounts. Hindi ko sinabing re-reply-an kita," sagot ko sa kaniya.

"Paasa," bulong niya na hindi ko narinig. "Ang labo niyo talagang mga babae," he said added, inaudibly.

"I beg your pardon?"

"So how was our performance earlier, Primrose?" he asked instead.

"P'wede bang tigil-tigilan mo ang pagtawag sa 'kin ng Primrose. Are we even close!?" inis kong tanong.

Badtrip talaga. I was supposed to be resting dahil uuwi na ako maya-maya. Mas lalo lang tuloy sumakit ang ulo ko sa presensiya niya. How and why did I even end up with him anyway?

"How shall I address you, then?" He stopped for a while and looked up as if he was thinking about something. "Baby?" Humalakhak siya matapos sabihin 'yan, halatang nang-aasar.

I raised my middle finger at him while frowning. "'Wag ka nang magpapansin sa 'kin." I stood up and eyed him from head to toe. "Hindi kita type." I even grimaced upon saying that.

Ayoko talaga ng mga lalaking kagaya niya. Mahangin na pang-asar pa! Maganda nga ang boses niya at attractive para sa ibang babae, I still didn't like his presence especially his smirks.

I knew for sure that he's just like the other men. Kabisadong-kabisado ko na ang mga lalaki na tulad niya. Alam kong kagaya lang din siya ng mga lalaking dumaan sa buhay ko. Hindi marunong magseryoso at parang bata kung umasta. Ayoko talaga sa lahat ay childish at immature and that guy was giving me those vibes.
