Blue Flame (Completed)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

It should be okay, I should have expected that. With those pictures with different girls before, it's too obvious he's a playboy too, like Kuya Sean, like Kuya Dylan. And I always hear that he has other side too, malayo sa kilala kong Kuya Ice, malayo sa alam kong pagkatao niya.

And he doesn't have feelings for anyone so he's free, he can change his girls daily, maraming nagkakandarapa sa kaniya.

I shut my eyes close and started to swim again. Lumubog ako at halos umupo na ako sa sahig ng pool sa kagustuhang mapakalma ang pag-iisip ko. But I just can't! How can I calm down? I just saw a girl kissed him!

I'm pissed and angry but who am I to feel that? Wala akong karapatan sa kaniya.

Gusto kong maiyak sa frustration pero bago ko pa iyon magawa ay napilitan na akong umahon dahil mauubusan na ng hininga. I wiped the water from my face using my hand. Nang nag-angat ako ng tingin ay nakita ko agad si Kuya Ice na parating.

Oh great! Now he's here and I'm sure he saw me looking. At anong gagawin niya? Magpapaliwanag? Bakit siya magpapaliwanag? He's not obliged to do that, we're not in a relationship!

I avoided his eyes and tried to swim far from him. The infinity pool is long anyway, we don't have to be close to each other.

"Hey.." naglakad siya at sinundan ang paglangoy ko. "Col.."

"Hmm?"

"It's nothing, it's just a friendly kiss.."

Kumunot ang noo ko pero mabilis ko rin binago ang ekspresyon sa mukha ko. I should act like it's nothing to me so he'd stop explaining.

"Ang alin?"

"Come on, I know you saw it.."

"The kiss?" Umikot ako nang nakarating na sa dulo, hindi pa rin tumitingin sa kaniya. "It's okay Kuya, that's normal.."

Umamba akong lalangoy ulit patungo naman sa kabilang dulo pero nahawakan niya na ako agad sa braso. Halos hindi ako makapaniwalang naabot niya pa ako.

"Let's talk please, let me explain.."

I smiled at him, "Bakit ka mag-eexplain? It's really okay Kuya." I faked a laugh but he didn't buy it.

Huminga ako ng malalim at hinarap na siya ng tuluyan. Naka-squat na siya ngayon sa gilid ng pool.

"You already said that it's just a friendly kiss, I believe you." I faked a smile again.

Keep going Coleen. Lokohin mo na pati ang sarili mo.

Titig na titig siya sa akin, siguro pinipilit intindihin kung totoo ba ang sinabi ko. I smiled evenmore to assure him. In the end, he sighed and released my arm.

"Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila na dito muna ako.."

"But you really don't have to Kuya, I'm fine here alone."

The way he looked at me after that almost said that he's sure of his decision. Sa huli ay hindi na rin ako nagsalita at lumangoy nalang. He remained there watching me with his heavy stares.

Naninikip ang dibdib ko at hindi ko alam ang gagawin. I know myself when I'm jealous pero si Asha palang ang pinagselosan ko noon, I never knew it's gonna be this intense when it's another girl, it's killing me.

Ilang minuto kong pinakalma ang sarili ko sa tubig. I don't even know if my tears are already forming at mabuti nalang din at nasa tubig ako, he won't notice it.

Magtatagal pa sana ako sa pool pero nilapitan niya na ako.

"That's enough already, malamig na, baka magkasakit ka."
