Push & Pull

Chapter 21

Vonne

I gulped before speaking. Making sure that I could mutter every courage I could, I feel like I'm in so much trouble. I can feel the danger pulsing through Victoria's aura

"E-erm she's Kreesha, a friend of mine back in the US"

Before I could even make up for the lack of oxygen in my body, Kreesha decided to take it upon herself to make the situation bad

"Are we really?"

She asked full of sarcasm, humor and teasing. She was so confident with that, I could only laugh nervously.

"And?"

Kreesha questioned gesturing to Tori. Victoria spoke before I could

With elegance and sophistication, she introduced herself as....

"It's Victoria, her girlfriend"

My heart seriously did freaking flips when I heard that. It's basically music to my ears, if she could only say that day in day out and not only when she's jealous. But I'll take whatever scrap I could get

Bakas sa mukha ni Kreesha ang pagka bigla at... wait, why does she look sad? Mabilis naman itong nawala sakanyang muka kaya ipinag kibit balikat ko nalamang ito at baka namamalik mata lang ako

Kreesha smiled but it did not meet her eyes

"Oh, it's nice to meet you."

She said extending her hand for Victoria to shake. This woman beside me studied Kreesha's hand before shaking it slightly and quickly retracting her hand. This is very much awkward, and that's an understatement.

"Erm, would you like to join me over dinner?" tanong ni Kreesha

I don't know what to say, dahil itong kamay na naka pulupot sa bewang ko ay lalo pang humihigpit

"With my friends. And you can come too"

She added looking over at Victoria, they were both just looking at each other. Like as if there is a silent battle between them that is invisible to me.

"We'll be there"

Victoria responded before walking away dragging me with her by my wrist. She led me to a room, I was not aware that she was able to book us a room while I was speaking to Kreesha.

She stopped to unlock the door

"You know, we don't have to go"
