Chasing Admon Damien

Chapter 10

Adam drove me home. We were silent the whole time. He kept on glancing at me but my eyes fixed on the road, as if there’s something very interesting in it. I can’t still believe I did that! That I kissed him! Gosh! Where did I get the guts to kiss him? Sure, dahil lasing ako! Dahil lang sa alak yun! And now my aggressiveness is killing me. Sana ay lamunin na ako ng lupa dito sa kinauupuan ko dahil sa sobrang hiyang nararamdaman. I can’t even look at him!

But what he said earlier kept on bugging me. Nakadagdag iyon sa kabang nararamdaman ko. What does he mean by that? Na kami na? Just because I kissed him? Hindi ba pwedeng dahil lasing lang ako? But heck, I was pretty aware with what I did! Alam ko ung ginawa ko!

The car halted for a stop and I noticed that we’re already here at tita’s house. Hindi ako sigurado kung magtatanong ako sa kanya tungkol sa bumabagabag sa akin o tahimik na lang akong aalis. Pero, ano namang sasabihin ko? ‘Tayo na ba?’ sobrang straight forward nun, nakakahiya! ‘What do you mean by, you’re mine now? Boyfriend na kita?’. Agh! Bakit ba ako nai-stress dahil dito?

From my peripheral view, I can sense that he’s staring at me. He was observing my reaction from everything that had happened.

I composed myself and bravely met his gaze. I cleared my throat. “Ahm, ta-tayo na ba?” malakas ang loob na tanong ko bago pa ako hilahin ng hiya. I want to mentally clap myself because of my guts.


He grinned at me. “Cute!”

My mouth hung open. It took me a lot of courage to ask him that but he’ll just laugh at me? I was so serious and problematic here but he will just look at me like that? My brows furrowed and I glared at him.


Then his laughter roared inside the car. He must’ve sensed the irritation in my face so he stopped laughing. But the amusement in his eyes are still visible. Bakit ba hindi ko mapigilan ang mainis?


“The moment you kissed me, you let me enter your heart. You’re mine now.” Amusement in his eyes vanished, it became serious. I blinked several times. My heart is too slow to process everything he had said. So, kami na? Talaga ba? Dahil sa kalandian ko naging kami na tuloy!

But deep inside me, my heart is melting and overflowing with happiness. I am in love with him! I liked him the very first time I saw him at school. Unconsciously, it grew deeper since I saw him. My feelings for him dig its own way into my heart.

We are staring at each other’s eyes. His eyes shout determination and seriousness. His lips are in a thin line, patiently waiting for my reaction. I unconsciously bit my lower lip because I remembered how soft his lips are . Then his stare went down to my lips, shamelessly staring at them.


My heart is beating erratically. It was never steady since I kissed him. His eyes moved up and landed in my eyes.


“Susunduin kita bukas.” He whispered breathily.


Habol-habol ko ang aking paghinga. Shit! Things he can do for me! I silently nodded at him.  My breathing paused when he sweetly smiled at me. He got out from his car to open the passenger’s door for me. Tahimik akong bumaba nang mapagbuksan niya ako ng pinto.

“Pumasok ka na. No more alcoholic drinks for you, hmm?” he pressed my little chin and stared at me lovingly.

I think my heart will come out from my rib cage. His simple touch sent shivers down my spine. How can I ever handle this sweet side of him? Para akong lalagnatin sa sobrang kilig na nararamdaman.

I can’t find the right words to tell him so I just nodded my head. Shit! Kanina ang tapang ko, ngayon halos hindi na ako makapagsalita. But he just smiled at my reaction. I unexpectedly felt a gentle kiss in my temple that made me shut my eyes.

“Goodnight, baby.” He said huskily.

Goodness! Hindi pa ba siya tapos sa pagpapakilig sa akin? “G-good night.” I stuttered. I immediately turned around to get inside the house. Hindi ko na maramdaman ang kalasingan na nararamdaman kanina.
