All of my emotions start to swirl up. I felt like I couldn't breathe with my heart ramming against my ribcage.
Nakakapanghina. Pakiramdam ko, kaunting kalabit lang ay bibigay agad ang mga tuhod ko. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung ang alak ba ang dahilan ng panghihina ko, o siya...
Tinulak ko siya, ngunit hindi man lang siya natinag. Wala rin naman akong lakas. Parang dumampi lang ang mga palad ko sa kanyang hubad na dibdib.
Kusa rin naman siyang lumayo at umayos ng tayo. His expression hardened. Malamig niya akong tinitigan.
"Go to your room, Elvira. Matulog ka na. You're just drunk," he uttered in a cold tone.
Now he's back to being cold. Mas malamig pa sa aircon ng kanyang kuwarto ang lamig ng boses niya.
I narrowed my eyes on him. "Why? So, you can continue whatever you're doing with that bitch?"
Nanatili siyang malamig na nakatitig sa akin. His jaw tightened. I fucking wanna touch it. His lips were tightly pressed together. His eyes were as cold and as dark as the night. Even when he looks mad, or even when he's just like that, his face cold and blank, he's still fucking handsome.
Damn it. I don't know why the hell I always end up praising him. Kahit na naiinis ako sa kanya, pinupuri ko pa rin siya.
"Pumunta ka na sa kuwarto mo at magpahinga, Elvira," tanging sabi niya.
I scowled. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist. "Where did you hide her?" pagpupumilit ko.
He sighed. "Hindi ako nagtatago ng babae rito, at hindi ako nagpapapasok ng babae rito. Ikaw pa lang ang nakakapasok dito at ilang mga kasambahay..."
Nagtitigan kami. Maniniwala ba ako sa kanya? Of course not.
Bakit kaya hindi na lang niya aminin? Nahihiya siya? My boy friends would even brag about it. Proud pa ang mga sira ulo kapag may nai-uuwi silang mga babae.
At anong pinagkaiba niya sa mga iyon? Sa gandang lalaki niyang iyan, imposibleng hindi siya nambababae.
"Go to your room now, Elvira," he said in a cold, slow tone, commanding me.
I just wanna know! Pero sige, kung hindi siya aamin, edi 'wag! Wala rin naman akong mapapala rito. I was just curious! But nevermind!
Inirapan ko siya. "Okay, fine! Aalis na ako. Babalik ako kina Sandro!" sabi ko at handa nang iwanan siya.
Inis niya akong tiningnan. Muling nagtagis ang bagang niya. A look of anger and bitterness swept across his face.
"Babalik ka ro'n? Why? So you can continue flirting with Tristan?" he said in a cold tone, tinged with bitterness.
My eyes widened. Flirting? Me? With Tristan? What the hell is he talking about? Binalik niya naman sa akin!
"What are you talking about? I'm not flirting with Tristan!" I snapped.
He faked a smile. "Really? I saw how you stared with each other."
Lumapit ako sa kanya na agad ko ring pinagsisihan. He's massive and tall. He towered over me. Kahit matangkad na ako, walang-wala ang height ko sa kanya.
And damn those eyes. Sa mga titig niya pa lang ay nanghihina na ako. His eyes were cold but I can feel it burning in my skin. Malamig ang mga tingin niya pero tila may hatid na init iyon sa aking katawan.
His jaw tightened as he stared at me, his eyes cold and blank.
"Do you like him?" he asked, his face blazed with anger.
