Holding Back My Feelings (Rastro)

Chapter IX

"Goodmorning Niks. What made you call? Do you need something?"

"Hi Glaiza. I just want to tell you, later you will have meeting about the "Sundown Beats" with the other guests."

"Ah oo I know. Rhian's one of the guests right?"

"Yes."

Glaiza's face brightened "Uhm okay bye Niks! Thank you for reminding me. Send me the informations."

"Glaiza?! What brought you here?" Rhian asked when she saw Glaiza standing infront of her condo unit

"Susunduin sana kita for the meeting. Sabay na tayo?" Glaiza smiled at her

"You're so sweet Glai. Uhm wait i'll just get my pouch." After getting her pouch in her bedroom she immediately walked out of her unit "Let's go?"

"We look good together Rhi." Glaiza said out of nowhere

"Huh?"

"Ah. I~I mean look you're all black and I'm all white." Glaiza nervously replied

Rhian was wearing a black see through shirt , black jeans and black Dr. Martens boots. While Glaiza was wearing a blue cardigan and white v-neck shirt underneath , white jeans and white sneakers.

"Oo nga no?" Rhian agreed while inspecting their outfits. "You're right we look good together Glai." She said staring straight to Glaiza's eyes. Glaiza can't help it but to lean closer to Rhian

*Tiiing!* They moved swiftly when they heard the elevator.

"Let's go?" Glaiza uttered

"Uhm yeah. Yeah let's go." Rhian replied and walked in to the elevator
There was an awkward silence inside. Silang dalawa lang ang nakasakay sa elevator. They can't talk and can't even look into each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry but I just have to do this." Rhian whispered and pinned Glaiza into the elevator's wall. They are now on 5th floor

4th floor

She planted her lips on Glaiza's. Glaiza closed her eyes and held Rhian's waist to pull her closer

3rd floor

Rhian laid her forehead on her still eyes closed.

2nd floor

Glaiza held her nape and kissed her once more.

Upper Ground

They immediately pulled back at the kiss and walked outside the elevator like nothing happened

~
There's still this silence inside Glaiza's car. No one is talking.

"Glai.." Rhian uttered

"Hm?" Glaiza simply replied without even looking at her

"A~about what happened sa elevator. I'm so sorry." She bit her lower lip

"Also my fault. Sorry din Yon."

But why did you kissed me? You initiated the last kiss why? Rhian asked at the back of her head

"I hope we'll not get awkward with each other." Rhian stared at Glaiza she's really focused on her drive

Glaiza glanced at Rhian and gave her a smile. She reached for her hand and said "I promise Rhi."
