JOHNNY's POV

She ignored me again!

Pinigilan ko ang lakad ni Mark at kinuha ang mga gamit. Nag ngiting aso naman siya agad.

Madilim dito banda sa hallway and she didn't noticed me until she open the lights of the room.

I look at her.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Sigaw niya.

Do you think I'll let anyone be with you in that kind of clothes?

I sigh out of frustration.

"Mag-usap na tayo, please?" Panimula ko.

Lumabas siya at hindi na naman ako pinansin. Nag-init ang ulo ko dahil doon.

I gently push her on the wall and cornered her. I finally found you, and now you're telling me to back off?

Sinubukan niya kumawala pero hindi siya nagtagumpay.

Her hands are pretty small. Namayat rin siya at mas lalong gumanda. She looks nervous but I don't care anymore. If she won't talk to me, I'll come to her everyday.

"Stop this." She looked at me with her lovely but angry eyes.

"Not until you talk to me." I said.

Her face is still the same. She has no make right now but I like it better. She's more pretty in her natural look. I like both. She always look familiar to me but I don't know...

I slowly touch her long, red... and wavy hair. She look away when she tried to glance at me.

"I don't want to talk-"

"Then what do you want us to do? Kiss?"

Nanlaki ang mata niya. I find it amusing. A tiger, huh? She's still a little kitten to me.

"No!"

"Then, let's talk. Ako dapat ang masama ang loob pero bakit ikaw ang galit?" Naramdaman kong nanginig ang kamay niya sa dibdib ko.

Hinawakan ko iyon. I noticed that she always does this, years ago. I don't want to call it an anxiety attack because I feel so guilty that she's having this because of me.

Huminga siya ng malalim bago nagsalita.

"Bakit ba ang kulit mo, Johnny? I don't fucking care anymore about what happened. Sumasakit ang ulo ko sa 'yo!" Her eyes are trembling.

"But I care-"

"I don't!"

"Shut up or I'll bite your lips." Itinikom niya agad ang bibig niya.

"Ikaw ang matigas ang ulo. Hindi naman mahirap mag-usap ng hindi tayo nag-aaway. Why are you like this?" Tanong ko.

"No, why are YOU like this? Do you like me?" Natawa siya.

Nanghina ako sa tanong niyang iyon.

Baby, isn't it obvious?

Binitiwan ko ang kamay niya at hinawakan siya sa bewang. Hindi siya kumawala nang niyakap ko siya. Hinayaan niya akong isandal ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.

This smell is so familiar. It's still the same. It's the candy that no one can't resist. It's the natural smell of red wine and perfume. Nadagdagan iyon ng mas nakakaadik na amoy mula sa shower gel at amoy ng malambot na buhok niya. I don't even know what to do with this information anymore.

"No... but I love you..." bulong ko.

Naramdaman ko ang maliit na kamay niya sa likod ko kaya humigpit ang yakap ko dahil baka kumawala na naman siya.
