Chapter V
Ilang beses kong sinisipat sila Hope. Baka mamaya higit pa sa kiss ang gawin nila in public. Ayokong makakita ng kamunduhan sa paligid ko.
Napansin ko na tumigil na sa kakasalita si Georgia sa tabi ko. Kanina pa kasi siya daldal nang daldal. But now, she's just looking at me na may kasamang pagtaas ng kilay. I did the same.
"What?" I asked.
Maybe this is the reason why George and I are clicked. Because she's a bitch too.
"Obviously you're not good at hiding, Liberty. I don't know why the fuck Hope still didn't notice you." Matatas niyang ingles. Bakit ba ayaw niya akong tigilan?
Muli akong tumingin sa gawi nila at muntik na akong mawalan ng balanse dahil nahuli ako ni Hope na tinitingnan sila. Kaya naman ay agaran ko siyang nginitian, which is not so me.. kaya nakakunot ang noo niya nung una pero nginitian na rin ako pabalik. Saka naman tumingin si Kio sa akin at mukhang nagtataka.
"You're insane." Sabay irap niya sakin.
"Okay fine! I like him. Are you happy now?"
"Yes." She smirked. Sometimes, I hate the guts of this girl!
Umalis na 'ko. I left Georgia there. I know that it's my fault, she just made me admit. And that's why I am annoyed. I'll say sorry to her later after I cool down myself.
I went to the counter and order some drinks. I know it's too early to take alcohol but my throat feels missing it.
"Why are you here?" Nag-angat ako ng tingin. Agad na napataas ang kilay ko. Totoo ba 'tong nakikita ko? Kio just asked me?
Pinitik naman niya ang noo ko dahilan ng pagbalik ko sa reyalidad.
"Huy." Nakita kong napa ngisi siya.
"Ha? Ah, ahm. Wala lang, why are you here too? Where's Hope?" I tried to composed myself.
He's half naked for goodness sake. Of course Lib because he just swam!
"You left Georgia too." Simple niyang pahayag matapos uminom ng tequila. Hindi niya sinagot ang tanong ko.
"You look tense. Are you okay?" His voice was plain. But he is looking at me, in my eyes.
"Of course I'm good, what made you think that I'm not okay?" I even chuckled to light the things up.
"Nah, nevermind. Anyways nice tats." My eyes immediately went down on my collar bone. It was a feather and birds.
I saw him looking at my collar bone too.
"It's a henna only. My dad will kill me if it's true."
"Yeah. I remember Hope told me 'bout that." He said, his lips was curve into smile.
Did he smile because the thought of Hope?
"Are you really serious with my sister? Yes our parent already asked you that when you had dinner with us. I just want to ask again."
Hindi ako mapakali. Gusto kong sa akin niya mismo sabihin.
"Why do poeple keep on asking that?" Medyo irita niyang tanong.
"Is there a problem with that?" Agaran kong sagot.
"Why? If I'm not, what are you going to do Liberty?" Matalim ang tingin niya sa akin ngayon. He took the space between us. I feel suffocated.
"Kio. What are you doing?" Hindi ako makahinga sa sobrang lapit niya. Ngayon lang ako nakalapit sakanya ng ganto. Kinakabahan ako na baka may makakita sa amin nang ganito ang posisyon.
"Don't," He trailed off. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako titingin sa sobrang lapit niya.
"You like it?" He grinned.
Hindi niya ako pinakawalan. May kinuha siya sa lamesa kaya tumagilid ang ulo niya. Ibinalik niya ang tingin sa akin at may nilagay sa collar bone ko kung saan naka burda ang henna.
Iodized salt!
I know. I know what he'll going to do.
I instantly closed my eys when I felt his tounge. Oh my fucking fuck! He just body shot me!
Nakapikit parin ako pagkatapos non. Pakiramdam ko ay hindi natanggal ang labi niya sa collar bone ko. This time, I never want to land my eyes on his.
"Fuck." He hissed. Narinig ko na lang ang upuan senyales na umalis na siya.
And then it hit me, he left me dumbfounded.
I went back to our room. There, I found Kellie.
"Oh Lib, why you look like that? Are you okay?" Paano ako magiging okay pagkatapos nang ginawa niya sa akin?
Yes I will admit that, that was not my first time. But he is my sister's boyfriend for goodness sake!
"Yes, Kels. I'll just change." Matamlay kong sagot. Wala ako sa mood magpaka hyper ngayon. Pakiramdam ko ay naubos lahat ng energy ko.
"Ahh, okay." She said then smiled. She really reminds me of Hope. They both sweet and so lady like.
"Labas na 'ko ha. Tristan is waiting for me." I just nodded and seconds I heard the door closed.
Wala akong ibang pwedeng titigan kundi ang kisame. Mababaliw na ata ako.
Iniisip ko parin kung totoo bang nangyari yung kanina? Diba kung may girlfriend ka, at seryoso ka ay hindi mo gagawin 'yon. Lalo na sa kapatid ng girlfriend mo.
He is always giving me a mix signals. Hindi lang ako nag fe-feeling. Yung mga tingin niya minsan na hindi ko maintindihan, yung pag snob niya pag nandyan sila. They were his mix signals!
Kung mahal niya talaga si Hope, bakit niya ginagawa sa akin 'to?
I need to know.
Nagising ako nang mag ring ang phone ko. I tried to reach it and swipe to answer without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" My voice was a bit shaky.
"Hey." Ang kaninang nakapikit na mga mata ko ay biglang napadilat
Agad kong tinignan ang screen at pangalan ni Hope ang nakalagay. He used my sister's phone to call me?
"Kio is that you?"
And there, my heart beats so fast that I can't even control.
