One Cold Night
12: I am confusing
Vera Alette's POV
"Ako."
I lifted my head from his shoulder and narrowed my eyes at him.
"You're talking nonsense again," I mumbled and smiled flatly at him. He chuckled and sucked his upper lip for a second.
"Totoo nga!" He insisted, I just sneered at him and looked away.
Kahit ilang beses niya pang sabihin iyan sa akin, I would never get it, bakit naman kasi siya magiging dahilan ng pagkapuyat ko? I doesn't make any sense.
"You were the one who told me that! Tapos hindi mo rin maalala," He said. Nang lingunin ko siya ay nakahalukipkip siya at seryosong nakatingin sa akin, I raised my brow at him, getting confused.
"Super puyat ka ba kaya hindi mo maalala?" His upper body leaned forward and his elbow was placed on his thighs. Nakatagilid ang ulo niya at nakatingin sa akin.
"Ang alin ba?" I asked him.
"Sabi mo... kapag... wala, wala pala," He pursed his lips and looked away.
"Pabitin," I said and stood up, I wanted to ask him over and over again but chose not to, because this guy would resist and that would take my restored energy.
I was about to walk toward my friends when I felt someone holding onto my wrist. I wanted to take my wrist away from Victor's hand but at the same time, I couldn't... It feels like there is electricity flowing between our skin. And I don't know if I hate it or not... No, it's not that I hate it... I feel bothered by it because I don't know why I feel it.
"B-bakit?" I asked nervously.
"Do you have plans today?" He asked, "Or will you continue your short sleep?" He added and stood from his seat, ang kaninang niyuyukuan ko ang tinitingala ko na, he instantly towered me.
"Bakit?" Tanong kong muli.
"Spend time with me."
It wasn't a question... It was a request, his expression was serious and his eyes darted at me intensely. How can I say no?
Or I have the choice to say no, but I couldn't resist. But why? What's stopping me?
"You sound so serious, you could have just told me instantly," I said, trying to sound calm even if my heart was racing for a while now, I felt him let go of my wrist as he smiled.
"Sorry naman, malay ko ba..."
"Pero... lalabas tayo?" He asked again and stared at me with those sparkling eyes of his. I sighed and turned to him.
