Burning Desire (Desire#1)

Kabanata 7

"I love you."

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaction, ang tibok ng puso ko ang bilis din. We both stare at each other a awkward silent between us. Napalunok ako dahil sa bawat tingin nya ay kitang kita ko ang pagka sincere nya sa sinabi nya.

"Z-zachiro... we're both young pa naman right? I know that heart's can't lie when it comes to express our feelings, y-you know... my feelings for is same like yours." I said i can't help to say it because heart can't lie and our mouth is the one who's revealing our feelings.

"I know it's fast you can take your time." I bite my lips because i feel something strange in my stomach, like parang nag ce-celebrate sila.

"And we need to priority our study first right? I'm not ready to enter in a relationship because I can't predict what happened in the future."

I'm really scared even though break up is a part of relationship. Entering relationship is like taking the risk. We can't find love in our young age, maraming taon pa ang pagsasamahan namin and baka one day mawalan ng spark between us.

"Hindi kita minamadali na pumasok sa relasyon. I can wait, court you until one day you'll realize that you love me too." He said napalunok ako because maraming victim na tao na hihintayin sila sa tamang panahon. But maybe it's them, why i need to compared Zachiro. Zachiro is different.

"I'll promise that i will never break your trust, but let me love you okay?" Shit! This is not what i expect right now. Why we need to go on this point na we're going to express our feelings, at least we know that our feelings is mutuals.

"I will not stop you about that, it's your choice not mine. But we both know that I'm still not ready." I confirm.

He looks to my eyes, he's eye is suffocating me.

"I know." He said before he hugged me, I smell his scent. So fresh so manly.

"I'm yours and your mine." He whispered.

"So territorial." I said and pinched his ear.

I feel his hot warmth, breath, and of course i can still feel his heartbeat.

"Ay putcha!" Parehas kaming napabitaw sa aming sarili ng biglang pumasok ang dalawang bruha.

"Sorry Alestair we don't know, go on tuloy nyo na." Sabi ni Jamaica pero parang iba ang dating sakanila.

Kaya agad akong napatayo at nilapitan sila, iniwan ko si Zachiro sa kwarto.

"It's not what you think, we just hugged promise." I said.

"Don't deny na sis matatanda na tayo at alam naman na natin ang ganyang bagay mangyaya—" tinakpan ko ang bunganga ni Kane dahil alam kona ang pino-point out nya.

"We didn't do that!" Nilakihan ko pa sya ng mata.

"Eh ano? i-spill mo naman ang chikabels mo!" sabat ni Jamaica.

"Basta we confessed to each other, then we hugged nothing more nothing less." Sabi ko sakanila and i think na convince ko naman silang dalawa.

"Eh bakit kasi hindi kayo marunong kumatok bago pumasok?"

"Hoy teh! buang ka kanina pa kami tawag ng tawag sayo, akala nga namin ay tulog kana." Si Jamaica.

"I didn't hear that." I said, totoo wala akong narinig or masyado lang akong nahulog sa mga sinabi ni Zachiro.

"Gaga! headline kasi ikaw pati rin si Zachiro sa group page ng school." Sabay pakita sakin ni Kane ng phone nya at andun ang picture namin ni Zachiro na profile picture namin.
