The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 34

I slept restlessly that night. Giovanni's words kept on haunting me until now. It bothered the hell out of me!

I groaned as I roll on my bed. Fuck! I am fucking bothered!

I wanted so bad to tell him to stop pursuing me but I just can't. My mouth don't want to speak. My mind kept on staying silent. My heart kept on shouting my feelings.

I like him. I like him way more than I thought I like him. But... I don't want to get used on someone anymore. I don't want to get hurt by someone's presence anymore. I had enough of it--- my family, my boyfriend, and my bestfriend.

I'm more afraid now to take the risk. I'm more afraid now to bet my life.

Because people on my lives tend to hurt me, not to love me.

I was still bothered when I went out for a meal. Lutang akong kumuha ng pagkain sa buffet table nang mamataan ko si Yuka sa isang table na malalim ang iniisip.

I shook my head as I took my way to her. Inilagay ko ang tray sa harapan niya at umupo.

"What happened to you?"

Yuka pouted a bit as she heaved a deep, long sigh.

"I was rejected."

Halos mabilaukan ako sa sinabi niya. I took a sip on my water before looking at her.

"The fuck? Don't tell me you already confess your feelings?"

Nang mapanguso siya ay napapanganga ako, napapamura.

"That early?" I laughed. "You're fucking early, Yuka! Talagang mababastid ka!"

She glared at me.

"What? I was just telling the truth." I chuckled. "Who would believe on your confession when you confess that fast? Like, the fuck? Kakakita mo palang sa tao kahapon! Kakakilala mo palang tapos nag-confess ka na?"

"Why? Was that wrong for me to confess my feelings even though that was really what I felt?"

I groaned on her thoughts. "Si Giovanni ngang ilang buwan akong sinusundan, hindi ako naniwalang---" Napapatigil ako sa pagsasalita nang mapagtanto ang sinabi ko.

I faked a cough before diverting the topic. "Where's the others? I didn't see them here for a meal."

She hissed at me. "It's already 9 in the morning, Ali. I am sure they already had their meals. Baka naglalandian na 'yon sa beach."

Natahimik ako sa sinabi ni Yuka. Napapatingin ako sa kanya nang biglaan siyang tumikhim.

"What?" pagtataray ko nang makita ang panunukso sa mga mata niya.

She chuckled. "What? Why do I feel like you're being defensive?" She leaned on the table. "Ano? May nangyari sa inyo ni Oppa kahapon?"

"What? What shit are you spitting out, Yuka?"

Napapanguso siya. "Ay, walang nangyari sa inyo?" aniya na parang nanghihinayang.

My brows met when she murmured something. "What? You're saying something, Yuka?"

She shook her head.

I heaved a sigh. "I already rejected him."

"The fuck?"

Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Yuka nang hampasin niya ako. "Bakit nanghahampas ka?" panininghal ko sa kanya.

"Why did you reject him?"

Napairap ako. "Bakit? Hindi na ba ako puwedeng magdesisyon para sa sarili ko?"

"I was asking why did you reject him, Aaliyah!"
