Crook the Homophobic

Chapter 49: She's Pleading You

Zoey's PoV

My mouth went agape. Parang hindi kayang iproseso ng utak ko ang nangyari. To say that I'm surprised is an understatement on what I'm feeling right now. Fuck. What just happened?

I'm stunned in my spot. Samantha's lips are still on my mine. Wala pa ring nagbago rito. Napakalambot pa rin. And it tastes sweet.

It seems like the world stopped spinning and we're lost in our own. her eyes are closed while mine's wide open. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagbilis ng kabog ng puso ko. Oh God, I really miss her.

Naramdaman kong inangkala nya ang kanyang kamay sa aking balikat at mas hinapit pa ako papalapit. I can now feel how warm her body is. Fuck. I do want to deepen our kiss now.

"What the hell Zoey?! Bakit sa kanya ka pumapanig? Did you already forget that I'm your fiance at may anak tayong dalawa?"

I snapped into reality when Francine said that. Mabilis na naghiwalay ang labi namin ni Samantha sa isa't isa. I took a glance at her. Tamang-tama na nakatingin din pala sya sa akin. Nangugusap ang kanyang mga mata.

Damn. I know, sooner or later ay madadala ako ng mga yun. Her eyes are one of the precious thing I've seen. I quickly averted my gaze on her.

It's hard to do this, but I need to. This is the right thing to do. Dahan-dahan ko syang binitawan. At pumunta sa side ni Francine.

Agad na rumehistro ang sakit sa kanyang mukha. She's hurting right now. And it breaks my heart too to see her in that state.

"Zoey..." I heard she called me. Disappointment was written on her eyes. Same goes with betrayal. Isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang aking ginawa. Oh God. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.

Suddenly, naramdaman kong may humawak sa aking pisngi. It was Francine. Hindi ko mabasa ang kanyang expression. I noticed that she's now holding a tissue. She gently wiped my lips.

"You know, you should be grateful Samantha dahil hinayaan kitang halikan ang magiging asawa ko. Just enjoy it, last naman na yan." Francine said and smirked mischievously. Nakita kong napairap naman sa kawalan si Samantha at nagcrossed-arms pa.

Napatingin naman ako sa paligid namin. Mygoodness, nakakaagaw na pala kami ng attention ng iba. Almost all of their eyes are on us now.

"Why would I? Gaano ka nakakasure na ikaw talaga ang fiance ni Zoey? Do you think papayag ako?" Nakataas-kilay na saad ni Samantha.

What does she mean by that? Aish. She's really giving me mixed signals. Naguguluhan na ako.

Francine just laughed her ass off. "We don't need your opinion here old-hag. Past ka na. Zoey already made a decision. Wala ka nang magagawa pa." Mataray nitong turan.

Dahan-dahang naglakad papalapit si Samantha. She stopped infront of the latter. Now, nagsusukatan na sila ng tingin.

"Coming from you na naging past na talaga ni Zoey a long time ago. I felt bad for Chelsey. She's being used by her own Mom na wala man lang syang kaalam-alam." She said at umiling-iling pa.

Napatungo naman ako dahil don. The only reason I chose that option ay dahil kay Chelsey. Gusto kong magkaroon sya ng buong pamilya. I was also pressured by Dad.

"Oh well, I can't blame you naman. Ganyan talaga kapag desperada na." Dagdag pa nya. It looks like hindi na napigilan pa ni Francine ang kanyang sarili. Agad na dumampi ang kanyang palad sa pisngi ni Samantha.
