Social

"I didn't miss you," I whispered and slump back to my seat.

I heard him chuckled as he glances at me. Hindi ko naman siya pinagbigyan ng tingin. My heart is in too much chaos right now, dadagdagan lang iyon ng mata niya.

I need to have a talk to my heart about this. I can't be feeling this way towards him. I can't possibly be. But I also assume that my feelings are all because of hatred. Kaya siguro ganito iyong nararamdaman ko.

He really did me wrong. I didn't forget that. I forgot the feelings and all but that truth, I don't want to forget. Because that's the only thing that would keep me from thinking and having undying feelings for him back then and until now.

"Did you enjoy the party last night?" I heard him asked.

My eyebrows slightly knotted, "How did you know I was at a party?" I asked, slightly turning my eyes on him.

"I heard," he replied casually.

Hindi naman ako naniwala agad doon. I sat straight and looked at him.

"From?"

"Someone." He looked at me.

His eyes were glowing, or at least that's what I'm seeing. His long eyelashes were brushing softly against his cheeks as he blinked slowly.

I rolled my eyes and get back to my not so comfortable seat.

"It was fun," I answered and looked in front.

It was Paoline's birthday yesterday. It was held in a bar, and she invited us. Sinabi ko naman kay Cali na i-clear iyong schedule ko because this is the first time that I'll be on one of their birthdays.

"Really? Your boyfriend is there?"

"Oo," I replied, not seriously thinking about it.

I felt him shifted on his seat and looked at me. Nanatili naman ang tingin ko sa harap.

"You said you don't have a boyfriend."

"I never said that."

"Astrid," his tone became stern and serious.

Hindi ko naman iyon maseryoso. Dahil hindi naman kasi totoo iyong sinasabi ko. I bet I'll be trembling in fear if I have done him wrong. Kagaya noon. Tumingin ako sa kaniya at ngumiti.

"What, Giovanni?"

He sighed, and his jaw moved. I don't know why I find that very... distracting! I cleared my throat and blinked.

"Bakit ba?" my voice slightly raised.

"Stop playing with me," his tone is all serious.

Kahit pa tingin ko, halata naman na hindi ako nagsasabi ng totoo. He can't see beyond me. I was about to say more naughty things, but his serious face turns into an angry one. Hinarap niya na ako na kahit pa umiwas ako ay walang magagawa iyon.

"Hindi ako nag bibiro, Astrid. Huwag kang magsinungaling sa'kin."

My mouth gaped. Is he actually mad? And? Nagsisinungaling? Right! I almost forgot!

"You're calling me a liar again! Hindi ako liar! You're so bad na!"

He sighed loudly. Looks like he's out of patience, but his lips are not producing any harsh word that I think he wants to say. His eyes are in flame, though.

"Are you nagagalit? Don't give that look!" I roared.

"Yes, I'm angry!"

Humarap na din ako sa kaniya. Did he just raise his voice? At me?
