Captured Through The Lenses

Capture 28: Love

Capture Twenty Eight

The elevator door closed behind me. And I don't care about that now. He's in front of me. The man who I will forever swear to love and to hold.

"Isaac," his name sounds so sweet on my lips.

I ran fast to where he is. Ngunit ang dapat na yakap ay naging hiya. Kaya nang papalapit na ako sa kanya ay bumagal ang aking lakad. I kept my arms firm to my side.

"You came back," I said softly as I drank in the sight of him.

"I forgot something in the studio," sagot niya. Nagtaas siya ng kilay. "What about you? Bakit ka nandito?"

And I chickened out. Ang lakas pa ng loob kong habulin siya rito. Ngayong kaharap ko na siya ay tiklop naman ako.

"P-para sabihin sa'yo na may nakalimutan ka nga," I laughed awkwardly. "B-buti nalang at bumalik ka, at least m-makukuha mo na agad. Oo yun nga! Uhm...bye."

Hindi niya na ako binigyan ng pagkakataon para talikuran siya. My back collided against the wall beside the elevator. He leveled his face with mine.

"Really? Yan yung gusto mong marinig ko? So that I'll know that it's true?" ulit niya sa mga sinabi ko kay Madison.

"O-oo," ang tanging naisagot ko na lang.

I stared at his luscious lips as he spoke. Then to his sharp jaw, to his Adam's apple, and to his eyes which now glinted in amusement.

"Eyes on me, Lilly Catherine. Stop staring at my lips. Or I might get the wrong idea," aniya sa namamaos na boses.

I slowly lifted my eyes to him. My eyes feel sleepy.

"Bakit? Ano ba yung idea mo?"

He licked his lips.

"That you want to be kissed," then he added. "By me."

Then it's not a wrong idea. You never get a wrong idea about me.

"Sige nga, Lilly Catherine. Ano yung naiwan ko sa studio?" he interrogated.

Him and his smart mouth! Sa tingin niya ba'y may oras pa ako para alamin kung anong naiwan niya? I was in a rush to catch up to him!

Only, he doesn't know that.

"Bakit mo pa tinatanong sa akin? Andito ka naman na. P-pwede mo nang kunin," anas ko sa maliit na boses.

"But you came all the way here to tell me. So you should say it now, so your efforts won't get wasted,"may halong panunuya ang pagkakasabi niya nito.

I gulped, swallowing a lump on my throat. It suddenly feels dry.

"Tell me. Anong naiwanan ko sa studio?" ulit niya. His breath fanning my lips. Nakakahilo.

Kinagat ko ang aking labi.

If I don't tell him now. Then what is all this chasing around for? Eyes on the prize, Lilly Catherine. You want to be back in his arms for good? Plus as soon as possible? Then stop being a coward!

I opened my mouth to speak then snap it shut. He quirked an eyebrow zealously.

"Ako," I finally spoke after a few moments of debate inside my head.

"Ako ang nalimutan mo sa studio. You forgot to bring me with you," I announced, more certain now than the first attempt.

His lip tipped upward. He raised his brow in interest.

"I didn't forget. You're the one who wanted me to leave you, right?" he says eagerly as he tucked a hair behind my ear.

I shook my head. I did, but not anymore.
