Wing's Denouement: Vamprous Angelico Chronicle I

19 | Swords of Flame

Chapter 19.

A warm feeling rose against my skin as I opened my eyes. The soft pillow under my head sent an ease relaxation all over me. The scent of my bedroom became more fragrant and I could clearly smell his perfume.

I roamed my gaze and saw Kael peacefully reading a book on the sofa. He’s such a beautiful angel.

He glanced at me, smiled before standing.

“Hey, did I wake you up?” he asked.

I sat, rested my back at the bed’s headboard, still with my blanket covering my lower part.

“No,” I answered. “How can you wake me up if you’re reading silently?” I laughed.

He smiled and put the book back on the shelf.

“How are you feeling?” He asked and stand infront of my bed.

“I’m feeling better, Kael. Thank you,” I respond.

I noticed how his eyes thrown a painful strike before flickering a good sight.

He sighed. “Was it because of Trevor and Syrene?” his question caught me off guard.

I have this feeling that I shouldn’t answer his question but, I can also feel that he needs to know, atleast.

I ignored his stare. “I am just a...” I gulped. “I am not feeling well, that’s it.”

I thought I could tell him the truth. But why does it feels like telling him the truth would hurt him?

Did I lie?

Totoo namang masama ang pakiramdam ko. Totoong hindi ako okay ngayon. Totoong hindi maganda ang mga nangyayari sa’kin ngayon.

Pinakatitigan niya muna ako bago naglakad papalapit sa akin. I just observed his actions. Itinapat nito ang likod ng palad niya sa noo ko.

“Medyo mainit ka nga,” saad nito. “Wait me here, I’ll be back.”

In a glimpse, I am alone again.

I waited for how many minutes. Nakatulala lamang ako sa kawalan at patuloy parin na naglalaro sa isipan ko ang lahat ng nasaksihan ko kanina.

Syrene and Trevor. What’s with you two?

“Here you are.”

Agad akong napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses.

He’s standing at the doorway. He went inside and locked the door. He looked at me—no, he stared at me like he missed me so much.

“Baby...”

Then a warm arms wrapped around me.

Hindi ako nakakilos. I let myself feel his warmth. I let myself indulge with his dominant presence. I let myself sniff his scent.

I let myself drown to him...again.

“Hey, look at me,” he caressed my cheek.

I remained ignoring his gaze. I just can’t let him see me like this. I can’t stand him.
