All I Wanted (Bachelorette Series 3)

Chapter 9

Chapter Nine

Tahimik lang siyang nakaupo sa veranda ng kanyang flat habang pinagmamasdan ang Eiffel Tower na kumikinang sa ilaw nito. Tanaw na tanaw ito sa kanyang pwesto. She's been to Paris so many times but still, she can't help but be mesmerized by the beauty of the tower itself.

She sighed. Asan si Blake? Well, hayun nasa cr at nagshoshower. Kakauwi lang nila galing ng dinner kasama ang kanilang mga magulang. Hinatid din nila ang mga ito sa tinutuluyan nilang hotel bago sila umuwi ni Blake sa kanyang flat.

The bright lights of the Eiffel Tower is highlighted because of the darkness engulfing the whole city of Paris. The city lights were also magnificent, it makes the whole city glow and alive. Bahagyang gumalaw ang kutson ng inuupuan niyang sofa. Napalingon siya, bumungad sa kanya ang gwapong mukha ng binata. Nagpupunas ito ng buhok gamit ang isang puting tuwalya. Lumingon ito sa kanya, halos mapasinghap siya ng ngumisi ito. Damn! Hindi niya alam kung nadala lang ba ng mga ilaw o sadyang natural na gwapo lang talaga ito, kasi ngayon.... Gusto niyang mapamura sa kagwapuhan nito. Yes he is handsome, that's given. But as he grin at her and the city lights illuminating in his face makes him way too sinfully handsome. Damn!

"It's a great view, isn't it?"

"H-huh?"

Napailing ito. Doon lang siya natauhan.

He is talking to you, idiot!

"I said the view is great. I mean the Eiffel Tower."

Nakatingin na ito sa Eiffel Tower kaya nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataong titigan ito. Damn it! She can't take her eyes off of him.

"Yeah. It's amazing." She absent mindedly answered.

Liningon siya nito kaya naman agad siyang nag-iwas ng tingin at itinuon na lang ang pansin sa view na nasa harap niya.

"Now you're talking to me." He said amused.

Natigilan nanaman siya. May punto kasi ito. All through out the day, she did her very best to stay away from him. As much as possible.

"I'm just trying to be civil." She reasoned out.

"I don't want you to."

Nilingon niya ito. "Huh?"

"I don't want you being civil with me. Gusto ko iyong dating Ianna na kumakausap sa akin."

Napakunot-noo siya. "That's all in the past now."

"You talk about it like it happened decades ago. It's just two weeks ago Ianna."

She looked away. Pake mo ba?!

"Decades or two weeks ago, it doesn't really matter. It is still consider as 'past' you know."

"There goes the ever so witty Ianna."

Natahimik siya dahil wala na siyang masabi. Well, baka maubos pa ang ganda niya sa kakaisip ng sasabihin. Mahirap na. She'd rather stay silent, besides it's safer.

Naramdaman niya ang paglapit nito, their arms touched. What he did next surprised her. Bigla na lang siyang inakbayan nito. Napataas siya ng kilay.

"Srsly Blake? What is this? You're acting really strange... Cut the crap now. Tell me what really happened within that two weeks. Because this... is making me confused."

"Bakit kailangan bang lahat ng ginagawa ko may rason?"

"Because you wouldn't do this without a purpose." She muttered under her breath. Totoo naman kasi, hindi siya ipinanganak kahapon. Ang biglaang pagbabago ng pakikitungo nito sa kanya ay isang di-inaasahang pangyayari. Kaya hindi pwedeng walang rason ang lahat ng ito.
