MONTGOMERY 4 : A Sky Full Of Stars

Own

I clenched my teeth.

Damn heart. Stop hyperventilating!

Alice, this is not the first time someone showed interest in you! Stop acting like this is once in a lifetime! Get your shit together!

Now I'm even talking to myself.

"Really?"

I really tried my best to sound normal and not affected. Nilingon ko siya na para bang normal na sa akin ang narinig ko at wala akong pakielam kahit ang totoo ay nag wawala na ang kalooban ko.

"Thank you. I get that a lot. You know? People always look for me." I breathed.

My eyes travelled from his hair that I want to touch down to his eyes I want to look at.. then to his nose to his lips..

Stop.

I can't believe this. I'm actually fascinated because of him. I'm losing my sanity here while here he is, smiling and standing in front of me like it's the most normal thing on earth.

"You get that a lot?" Manghang tanong niya.

I nodded.

"Oo. Hindi ba halata?"

I bit my lip. Tension is all over the place. I can feel the tension between us.

Nag-angat siya ng tingin at napabuga ng hangin. Kita ko pag lalim ng hininga niya. His bright aura suddenly turned dark. I admit, pakiramdam ko kaharap ko si Dos ngayon. Most of the times, ganito si Dos pag pinapagalitan niya ako.

But what shocked me the most, I never thought Sky Cabello can be this dark. I mean, his smile and all proves that he is a bright person pero kung titignan, I don't really know him.

"Maybe you get that a lot before." Pag basag niya sa katahimikan.

Bumaba ang kanyang tingin muli sa akin. Nag tama ang mga mata namin at hindi ko akalain na mula noong una ko siyang nakita, I didn't thought he is capable of looking at someone with so much intensity.

Nandoon pa rin ang ngiti niya. Ngiting kahit sino ay mapapalingon pero labi niya lang ang nakangiti. He is faking it, I know he is. I don't need to be Adrianna to know he is faking it.

"Before? Iniinsulto mo ba ako?" Balik ko sa kanya.

"No." Walang alinalangan niyang sagot.

"Then what?"

He shrugged.

"Before, meaning.. back at Manila."

"And?" Mapagtimpi kong tanong.

Tumingin siya sa kanyang orasan at napa buntong-hininga.

I was only staring at him. Alam ko sa sarili ko na ang normal na Alice ay siguradong umalis na pero hindi ko magawa. I can't move my feet and I feel like I'm stuck.

"And." Mapagtimpi kong pag ulit.

Napa-angat siya ng tingin sa akin at bahagyang humalakhak.

"You won't get that here."

Nagpamaywang ako. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang uunahin kong intindihin sa dami-dami ng emosyong nanalaytay at bumubugso sa aking kaloob-looban.

"What did you just said?"

Naiyukom ko ang mga palad ko.

"Are you saying that I'm not attractive?"

I never doubted my appearance before! Never! Pero dahil sakanya, I'm saying these things!
