The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 28 - New plan

Colet's POV:

I'm so done with her being so talkative that I ended up crashing my lips on hers. My right hand made its way on her nape, with all the eagerness I have, I pulled her closer to me with all the force I have.

She rarely teased me, but I was annoyed by what she said now, especially about the person I couldn't figure out why I was irritated with, so I kissed her to silence the words coming out of her mouth.

But the moment our lips met, my eyes closed instinctively, savoring the sensation of her lips. I missed the taste of her lips, I missed being this close to her, I missed the indescribable feeling whenever our lips touched.

I missed this. I missed you. I whispered in my mind as I savored every moment our lips were pressed together.

My lips, having their own life, started moving and exploring every part of her lips. Good thing she gave in and responded to my kiss with the same intensity.

The scene was cut immediately when she tried to push me. I also need to breathe that I ended up parting our lips even if I don't want to. Gusto ko pa. I want more.

She started to walk backwards slowly while looking at the floor. She ended up resting her lower back on her working table, resting both of her hands on the top of the table to support her.

Jhoanna: “What now? How can we fix this up?” She asked, not looking in my direction, acting as if nothing intense had happened earlier between us.

“Ewan ko sa'yo. You've done it, so you have to solve it yourself.”

Jhoanna: “From the way you talk, you won't help me, aren't you?” She said raising her left eyebrow with her voice full of authority.

“What?! Would you expect someone to solve a problem that is not their fault?! Kung hindi ka sumama kay Migoygoy, wala tayo dito.” Inis na sambit ko rito.

Jhoanna: “I was scolded earlier and you don't have to repeat it again. You're here because I promised Lola to solve this problem TOGETHER with you.” She said, quoting the word 'together' with her both hands and saying it with a stronger tone.

After that, we were engulfed by a loud silence. Because of frustration she balled her hand on her head, pulling her hair and cursing about the issue. Then, she sat on the floor beside her bed, resting her back on the side of it.

Syempre naawa ako sa sitwasyon niya ngayon kaya tumabi ako rito at naupo ako sa kanyang higaan habang tinitingnan lang ito. Mukhang mas problemado pa siya dito kesa sa trabaho.

“So how will WE solve this issue you've caused?” I asked her, but she just stared at the empty space of her room, not even reacting to what I said.

Jhoanna: “Malamang nag-iisip. Mukha kasing labag sa kalooban mong tulungan ako eh.” She said na ikinangiti ko nalang bigla. Nagtatampo ka ba? Hahaha cute.

“Makukuha mo ba yung solusyon sa pader ng kwarto mo? Pa-try nga rin tumulala dyan.” I teased her pero wala pa rin itong reaksyon. Mostly kasi maiinis na agad siya dahil sa mga ganitong asaran.

Jhoanna: “Hindi lang si Lola ang disappointed sa akin. Pati rin ang parents ko. I need to take this seriously and took down this issue immediately.” For the first time, ngayon ko lang siya nakitang natakot at nalungkot ng ganito. Para siyang batang takot na magkaroon ng mababang grades tapos malaman ng parents niya.

“Hanap ka ng formula sa google para ma-solve mo problema mo. Huwag mo masyadong i-overthink. Tatanda ka agad niyan, sige ka.”

Jhoanna: “Alam mo, wala kang dinulot simula nang dalhin kita rito. Akala ko naman may maitutulong ka eh. Tabi nga dyan!” Agad siyang tumayo at hinawi ang balikat ko paalis ng kanyang higaan kaya agad akong tumayo para bigyan ito ng daan.
