What are they doing here?

I averted my gaze when I saw how Giovanni stared at me. Tsk! He stares that much, as if he'll send me to death.

I looked at Aidan who walked upstairs just to guide Liliana walks downstairs. Nang makitang pababa na sila ay kaagad akong sumunod, iniiwasan si Giovanni. I knew he would do the same, as what Aidan did.

Nang akmang iaalok na niya ang braso niya sa akin pagkababa namin ay humawak ako sa kabilang braso ni Aidan.

They immediately stopped. Even Giovanni was shocked at what I've done.

What? I like Aidan to escort to me, too.

"Can I, Lily?"

Kita ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa mga mata ni Liliana, nagpalipat-lipat ang paningin sa akin at kay Giovanni.

Someone hissed on my side before he took his leave. Nang makalabas siya ay napapatawa si Aidan.

"I know how much grumpy kuya Giovanni now, Ali. He's been murmuring earlier. He's been nervous because he knows you would look stunning. You don't know how much confidence he prepared just to approach you but look at what you did."

I hissed.

Nang makalabas kami ay sumalubong sa 'kin ang matalas na tingin ni Giovanni sa akin. Fuck, he was death glaring at me!

Did I really offend him that much?

I groaned.

I was just avoiding him because I felt awkward on his stares!

"Get in," he coldly says while opening the door for me.

Hindi na ako umangal pa at sumakay nalang. Different from his everyday's transport, Giovanni used a gray car tonight.

I secretly looked on his direction. He was seriously driving the car, tightly gripping on the steering wheel that I could almost see the every veins he have.

"Stop staring," he coldly says.

Umirap ako sa ere. "As if I stared at you."

Natahimik siya. Kita ko ang paghigpit ng hawak niya sa steering wheel, napapatiim-bagang.

The fuck? What's his problem?

"Don't ever let a man stare at you. You're already mine---"

"Oh, come on! Should we talk about this then and now? How many times do I have to tell you that I am not fucking in a relationship with you and we aren't in a relationship. Can't you understand that?"

He stared at me. I can read some bitterness on his eyes. "I can't understand why I can't have you."

Natitigilan ako sa sinabi niya. Umiwas ako ng tingin at humarap nalang sa may bintana.

It's not that you can't have me, Giovanni. I was afraid I would lose myself again... the moment I'll get used on your presence with me. I'm afraid I can't be over you the way I can't be over with my so-called family.

I heard him heaved a deep sigh. "If you won't take me as your boyfriend, then I'll court you until you'll accept me in your life."

"Giovanni---"
