THIRTY-SIX.
I sighed for, like, the twentieth time. My eyes landed on Hunter which is now chatting with Night, he looked at me and smiled faintly at nakipagkwentuhan ulit. I really feel fucking guilty. Fuck.
"Tsk." Ken irritatingly muttered before standing up and left me all alone, napairap ako, for sure he's jealous for no reason at all.
Okay, fine. I know it's my damn fault too for not telling him what happened but I tried, alright? But Ken keeps on ignoring me that's why he still doesn't know. It's his fault, too! Tuh. Idiot. Kung siya'y nakikinig saakin ay hindi siya magagalit ng walang dahilan.
I rejected Hunter because I love Ken for crying out loud! Tuh. Tapos ngayon ay hindi niya ako pinapansin? What an asshole.
I breathed deeply, I wish Jenna is here. For sure ay alam niya ang dapat kong gawin when it comes to this things. She's like more expert in love than I am. Damn it. I hope she's okay. I hope my parents are okay.
I can't help but wonder what's happening to them now. Are they being tortured?
"You alright Lex? You're not thinking about leaving again, are you?" Tanong ni Thean at pinanliitan ako ng mata.
I rolled my eyes at him, "No. I'm just tired from all of this, that's all." I answered.
I saw Thean's eyes flickered and then he sighed bago pasadahan ng kamay ang buhok na nalalaglag sa mata, "I wish I knew what you felt before. So this wouldn't happen." He whispered to me.
My lips parted in surprise, "You can't do anything about it, Thean. Nasa prophecy na kahit anong mangyari sisimulan ko pa din ang gyera." Sagot ko naman, to comfort him.
I mean, I know that my brothers are secretly blaming theirself on this. Well, I say they shouldn't. Ako iyong naiinggit sa attention nila Mom at Dad sakanila dati. So I know that this is all my fault.
But blaming ourselves won't do any good.
"Hey. Have you seen Ken?" Tanong ko kay Thean.
I need to talk to Ken. I mean, really talk. Alam ko na nagselos siya noong nagusap kami ni Hunter.
Thean knotted his forehead, "Nasa kwarto niya. Bakit? Nag-away kayo?" Tanong niya pabalik, his eyes were cat-like and want to know what happened.
I rolled my eyes at him, "Don't be so nosy, brother." I muttered and then stood up.
Pumunta ako sa kwarto ni Ken and found him lying in the queen-sized bed, he lay flat in his back and staring at the ceiling na para bang malalim ang iniisip niya.
"Ken." I called, his forehead knotted but didn't even get up para tignan ako, instead he fucking chose to ignore me.
Humalukipkip ako, "So it's gonna be like this, huh?" I muttered and waited for him to reply but to no avail, he still didn't talk. A word would be fine but this? Tuh. Forget it.
"Fine." Inis kong sabi at tinalikuran siya, inis dahil hindi niya ako pinapansin at ayaw ako pag-explain-in sa mga nangyayari.
May gyera na nga ay nag-iinarte pa siya dyan! Ugh! Nakakainis!
I was about to leave his damn room when he whispered my name, "Alexa" I stopped into a halt as my forehead knotted.
"You never called me Alexa before, laging Vanellope." I muttered and then faced him. Nakita kong naka-upo na siya sa kama.
"Why are you here?" He asked, his jaw clenched as if he's angry at me or something. Napairap ako.
"To talk to you, obviously." I mumbled, umiling si Ken at tinapik ang gilid ng kama, umupo ako doon, facing him.
I could sense and see the frustration in his eyes. Tinitigan niya ako ng diretso sa mata, "What do you want to talk about?" He asked calmly.
Inirapan ko siya, "Well, I sensed. No. I mean, I saw, well, whatever, that you got mad when I talked to Hunter." I mumbled, I don't even know if he heard it.
At least I said it, it's not my fault if he didn't heard it. But he have a super hearing sense so I'm sure he heard it crystal-fucking-clear.
He didn't reply immediately but when he did, lumapit muna siya saakin and stared directly at my eyes, I felt awkward kaya ay nag-iwas ako ng tingin. Damn it. Ken have this effect in me every-damn-time!
"Is there something I should get mad of?" My toes almost wiggled and I can't keep my heart from beating faster. May nararamdaman din akong kung ano sa tiyan ko.
Damn it, Ken! Stop doing that! I can't get a hold of myself whenever he's around at ngayon he's this close to me?! Gusto niya ba akong mamatay? Tuh.
I shook my head, "Nothing. I just thought you want to know what did we talked about." I said as I try to stare back at his eyes but damn it! I can't stare at him for too long!
Kitang-kita ko na pinipigilan niyang ngumiti when he saw how his presence affected me. Napairap ako at tumawa na nga siya ng tuluyan. Inis ko siyang hinampas. Ugh. Irritating.
Ngumisi muna siya bago nag-salita muli, "Ano ang pinag-usapan niyo?" Naka-taas kilay niyang tanong.
I rolled my eyes at him, "He confessed." Sabi ko at naghintay sa magiging reaksyon niya.
"You rejected him?" Naka-taas kilay pa din siya.
I rolled my eyes at him again, "What do you think?" Inis kong sabi sakanya, kitang-kita ko ang pagsasalubong ng kilay niya.
"Vanellope! Ano nga? Don't play your fucking tricks on me." Baritonong boses ang gamit niya at halatang naiinis siya at na-co-confuse.
I glared at him, "Are you cursing me, you asshole?" I annoyingly asked him. Umiling siya at hinilamos ang kamay sa mukha like he's so frustrated at me.
I rolled my eyes, "Of course I rejected him! Ugh. Idiot." I muttered and glared at him again.
He cursed me! Ugh. Irritating bastard.
He nodded slowly, "I'm sorry, baby." I raised my eyebrows at him but I can't help my heart from thumping so fast.
Damn it! Why did he call me that? Ngayon ay gusto ko na lang magwala. Tuh. What the hell is happening to me? Oh fuck. Kasalanan to ni Ken!
I crossed my arms and glared at him, "You've got any ideas to find Adam's twin?" I asked with my forehead knotted.
He sighed and lay back on the bed and continued to stare at the ceiling, "Nope. It's a half-angel and half-demon. It can do everything. Fly. Make himself or herself invisible. Hindi natin siya makikita unless magpakita siya satin."
I stopped and stood up, "What?" Naka-taas kilay na tanong na naman ni Ken.
"You're a fucking genius, Ken!" I exclaimed in excitement and smiled widely, oh damn, I'm going to die in fucking excitement.
He glared at me, "Watch your mouth, half-blood."
I can see confusion and curiousness in Ken's eyes.
"Let's call the others." I said and grinned.
Napailing na lang si Ken habang naka-ngisi, bumangon siya at hinalikan ako sa noo. Nanghina agad ako at napatitig sakanya. Damn it. I love this man so much. Nakita ko ang pag-ngiti niya ng malawak at inakbayan ako.
"Come on, baby, let's call them." He whispered in my ears.
