Blue Flame (Completed)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

I couldn't look at him anymore. I can feel the heat all over my face right now. Kung bakit bigla siyang ganito sa akin ngayon ay hindi ko alam.

I tried so hard to remember why I left their house, I tried so hard to remember why I'm avoiding him, but I just couldn't think about it anymore.

Kuya Ice is indeed the Antarctic, I'm freezing so bad.

"Are you ready for school tomorrow?" He asked.

I can only nod. Ni hindi ako makatingin ng diretso sa kaniyang mga mata. I feel like I'll just keep on falling for him, no matter how hard I try to stop. I think it's just a cycle and it will just keep on happening, me trying to get away, him doing these things to me, and me falling again and again.

"Can I drive you to school?"

I bit my lower lip. Nakita kong nag-aabang siya sa mga mata ko.

"Aren't you busy? Pwede naman akong sumabay kina Ate Larry.." Why do I sound so enticed huh?

"I can drive for you, I can make time."

"Paano si Heather?"

"Si Ace na ang maghahatid sa kaniya ngayon."

Wala na akong ibang masabi kaya tumango nalang ako. He continued watching me while I couldn't even last a few seconds looking at him. I guess my feelings for him are more defined now? Dati ay kaya ko naman siyang titigan, kaya kong saluhin ang bawat tingin niya noon para sa akin.

"Anong ginawa mo dito buong maghapon? You were all alone,"

"Uhm.. I just watched the television and.. made some food.." Tinignan ko ang natitirang toasted bread na hindi ko na naubos. I saw him look at it too.

"You shouldn't cook anymore. If you want anything just call me, pwede kitang dalhan dito, or pwede akong magpadeliver kung hindi ako makakapunta agad."

Tumingin ako sa kaniya at mabilis na umiling, "I-It's okay Kuya, I want to learn, at hindi naman mahirap gumawa ng toasts.."

He sighed, "I can't stand thinking about you here in the kitchen. You're not used to any of the things done here."

I blinked several times because of that. Hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko.

"Call me, if you need anything, please give me peace of mind alright?"

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa mga sinasabi niya. Anong nangyari?

I know he's caring like a brother but this doesn't feel the same like the way he used to treat me. His actions has something, o ako lang ang nag-iisip nito? Na may kahulugan ang mga ginagawa at sinasabi niya ngayon sa akin?

"I'm already dealing with your decision of living away from me, atleast give me the assurance that you'll be fine here.."

I shut my eyes close and just nodded. I guess my plan to avoid him just failed, nang ganoon kabilis.

He left when Kuya Fire, Ate Larry and Faye arrived before dinner. Faye even invited him to join us but he refused. Hindi ko halos makalimutan ang huling sinabi niya bago umalis, he's gonna call me when he gets home.

Ano itong nangyayari?

Tulala ako at hindi mapakali sa kwarto after dinner. Nakaligo na ako at nakapagbihis ng pangtulog. Inayos ko na rin ang damit na isusuot para bukas. All that's left is for me to sleep, pero hindi pa siya tumatawag. And that's when I realized that I'm really waiting for his call.

Pero kanina pa siya dapat nakauwi, why is he not calling me yet?

Humiga na ako sa kama at niyakap ang unan. He probably forgot? O baka may ginawa? I don't know and it's frustrating me so much! Dapat ay hindi niya na sinabing tatawag siya kung hindi niya naman pala magagawa!
