NOT A RIVALRY

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

A KISS in the moonlight, it was indeed sounds sweet and romantic for someone who's in love with each other, but in Noah's case everything's a messed. His mind is in turmoil, his heart couldn't stop beating fast, his body still frozen in place and his soul— his soul is about to come out of his body and left everything behind.

Even with his clouded mind and weak state, finally Noah found the courage to push Callen. And as soon as he was freed from Callen's hold Noah staggered a little. Without Callen's hold he felt different, he felt unsecured and more things that he couldn't explain.

Gulong-gulo na siya, hindi alam kung ano ang gagawin at kung paano pakikitunguhan ang lalaking nasa harapan niya. Hirap na nga siyang pakitunguhan ito noon pa man, ano nalang kaya ngayon?

Gusto niyang paniwalain ang sarili na panaginip lang ang lahat ng ito o pawang imahinasyon niya lamang. Pero imposible, sinasampal na nga siya nang katotohanan.

Napahilamos si Noah sa sariling mukha, hindi niya alam kung ilang beses na niyang minura ang sarili. Kung bakit kasi ang tanga-tanga niya.

Callen on the other hand is looking at Noah worriedly. Clenching his fist tightly, he can't help but blame himself.

Did he went too far? Did he shocked Noah that much? Of course he did, he fucking did and he want to punch himself for doing that to his Bunny.

Lalapitan na sana niya si Noah pero mabilis itong humakbang patalikod na animo'y takot itong mapalapit siya, itinaas pa nito ang kamay para senyasan siyang huwag lumapit dito. Gusto niya itong lapitan pero ayaw na niyang dagdagan pa ang kung anumang dinaramdam nito sa kanya, ayaw niyang galitin ito kahit parang ganoon na rin ang ginawa niya.

"Sean." Tawag niya sa binata.

Noah shook his head and finally look at Callen, he didn't know where did he get that courage, he just did even though he's still a little bit off.

He thought he can face Callen, oh how wrong he was, because the moment their eyes meet, what happened between them a year and also a months ago it's all coming back to him.

Witnessed by the beautiful fascinating moonlight, a drunk Noah kissing Callen hungrily like his life depends on it. Noah flinched at the memories and shook his head afterwards.

The thing a drunk man can freaking do, damn him.

Wala sa hinagap niya na magagawa niya ang ganoon klaseng kapangahasan at sa dinami-rami ng tao ay si Callen pa, si Callen na simula't sapol ay iniiwasan na niyang magkrus ang landas nila kahit na maliit lang ang mundong ginagalawan nila.

Tama, noon pa man ay iniiwasan na niya ito kaya ang makita silang dalawa na magkasama ay napaka imposible. They're not close like how Callen close to Ezrael, his big brother, he couldn't even reached Naia's closeness level with Callen. They're just like strangers despite of Callen knew a lot about Noah just how Noah knew a lot about Callen.

Was that kisses were Callen referring to? The one he stole from him? Was it?

"Noah Sean." Callen called him again, this time with his full name. Noah flinch at how the way Callen uttered his name.

He was speechless beyond shocked, thinking of a way to avoid Callen, Noah choose the safest to escape.

He walked out.

Kaunti lang ang ininum niya kanina at alam niyang hindi siya lasing pero sa mga nangyayari ngayon pakiramdam niya ay lasing na lasing na siya. He continue walking not minding Callen who's following behind him, he needs time to think and clear his mind.
