The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 33

Lutang akong naglalakad. Alona already left. But here I am, still thinking of those shits she told me just a while ago.

Am I really holding my affection? Was that because I am afraid to get used by his presence?

Bumuntong-hininga ako.

Do I like him that much for me to fear Alona's words?

Do I love him for me to be possessive on him?

I groaned.

I don't want in a relationship yet. I still want to know him. But Alona's words kept on haunting me. I was a bit... afraid. Afraid that I'll be too late to admit that I was really inlove with him.

I was like that--- still walking in a preoccupied mind, when I saw a group of people running towards my direction. I was too late to keep myself ready and avoid them.

I thought I'd be on the sand any minute from now when an arm snaked onto my waist, pulling me towards him, keeping me from falling down.

I looked at the man who saved me. It was... Sebastian.

He was seriously looking at the group of people who accidentally ran on me.

"Could you please look at where you'll run? There's someone walking."

The group of people gave their apologies to me before they leave.

Sebastian heaved a deep sigh before looking at me. "Hey, you okay?"

Natigilan ako nang mapansin na malapit parin pala ako sa kanya. Tumikhim ako bago lumayo ng kaunti sa kanya.

"I'm fine. Thank you for earlier."

He stared at me. "Do you have a problem? You seem occupied."

Bumuntong-hininga ako. "Nah, I just have this slight problem."

Sebastian chuckled when I emphasized the word slight.

He shook his head, smiling. "For you to be that occupied, I don't think it was just a slight problem."

Napairap ako nang gayahin niya ang pagdiin ko sa salitang slight. We took our way to one of the beach chair.

"What is it? My ears are all ready."

I smirked. Umupo ako bago nagsalita. "Mang-chi-chismiss ka lang, e."

"Sorry, I'm not like that."

"Oh, yeah?" I sarcastically say making him shook his head, still smiling at me.

He stared at me, splaying his head a little, weighing me. "You two had a lover's quarrel?"

Kahit hindi niya binanggit ang pangalan ni Giovanni ay alam kong siya ang tinutukoy niya.

Umirap ako sa ere. "We're not even lovers, how could we have a lover's quarrel?"

Sebastian chuckled. "Chill, I was just guessing. So..." He trailed off, smirking. "Based on your reaction, I can think you two really had a quarrel."

I just hissed at him. Imbes na pag-usapan pa 'yon ay tumingin ako sa kanya at nagsalita.

"Did you two talk already?"

He was a bit confused as to whom I was talking, but a minute later, his face glistened, getting the idea I was pointing out.

"Yeah. My apology for earlier. I was really embarassed for ditching you after my invitation."

"Nah, you're not ditching me. I gave you the permission to leave."

Tumango siya, nakahinga ng maluwag.
