Chapter 35

Jed Damon's Point of View:

I can't believe what she did. Hindi naman siguro siya maku-curious ng gano'n ng walang dahilan.

"Terrence. Wala pa bang update sa pinapagawa ko?"I called him over the phone.

Terrence is a detective. He's one of the highest paid but he chose to be under my employment. I paid him twice the biggest offer he had. Basically, he does the work for me whenever I want to know someone's profile and all.

"This one's having a really complicated life, Jed. I don't want to give you wrong information. Give me a week."

Eksaktong tinapos ko na ang tawag nang biglang sumulpot si Miah sa tabi ko. Dala-dala niya 'yong ibinigay kong sketchbook sa kanya. Mahilig kasi siya sa fashion design kaya binigyan ko siya no'n.

"Look at my work, Dee!"

Bakit lahat ng kaibigan ni Cher matitigas ang ulo? Sinaway ko na siyang 'wag akong tawaging Dee pero ayaw paawat. Para naman akong si Dillenna no'n.

"That's a great drawing. But I can't say anything about the design. That's too femininely."

"Phew. Thanks. Wait--- Okay ka lang? Para kang kinakabahan?"she asked instead.

"Huh?"

"Oh my gosh! It's about Cher!!!! What happened? Did you guys do something?"

"What? Nooo!"

Tiningnan niya ako ng masama na para bang sinasabi niyang, subukan mong magsinungaling sa'kin at sasabihin ko kay Cher lahat.

"Jed Damon!"

Tss. Really. Birds of the same feather flock together. Cher, Miah and Ember are no different personas at all. They're all stubborn, persistent and annoying... in adorable ways.

---

"Oh my gosh! Damon!"she suddenly cheered up and looked up to me expectantly.

"Teach me how to kiss."

What???

"Cher! No!"

"Why not? You just have to teach me how to do it, nothing else."she insisted.

"Stop it. Cher, stop it. Are you listening? It's a no."

"Bakit nga!!!"pangungulit niya.

Bakit? Tss.

"You don't need any reason, Cher. Quit it. Just fcking quit it---"

"Fine! Magpapaturo na lang ako sa iba. Bahala ka diyan!"

Ano'ng sinabi niya???

Before she could reach the doorway, I immediately grabbed her, encircled my arm around her waist, turned her to face me and pulled her close to me. Without any more words, I kissed her.

---

"Kyaaaaaaahhhhh!!! Oh my gosh! Damon, gusto kong tumalon sa pool! Sabihin mong totoo 'yon! Na hindi mo 'ko pinagtitripan para kiligin ako! Oh my gossshhhhhh!!!!!"

Makatili naman 'tong Miah na 'to. Tss.

"Oh gosh! Dee, sabihin mo na sa kanya 'yong totoo. Tell her you love her!"

"Shut up, Miah. Marinig ka ng mga katulong."

Zylanne Cher's Point of View:

"Teach me how to kiss."I asked him wearing my puppy eyes and my most convincing smile.

Nanlaki 'yong mata niya. My smile quickly faded away when he uttered the words.

"Cher! No!"

Why won't he teach me? Ang selfish niya! Tuturuan lang naman niya ako!

"Why not? You just have to teach me how to do it, nothing else."naiinis na angil ko sa kanya.

"Stop it. Cher, stop it. Are you listening? It's a no."

"Bakit nga!!!"nanggigigil na singhal ko.

Matagal saka siya sumagot. Tinitigan niya ako.

"You don't need any reason, Cher. Quit it. Just fcking quit it---"

"Fine! Magpapaturo na lang ako sa iba. Bahala ka diyan!"

Hindi lang siya ang nag-iisang tao sa mundo! Bahala siya sa buhay niya! He's selfish---

I felt cold and shivers like a million volt have just exploded in my body when he locked his lips with mine. I don't know what's going on.  I don't know what I exactly feel among the surging  emotions I have. I was submerged in a world where I can only see him and me. It seemed like the time stopped. A mixture of wonder, amazement, fear and oblivion dawned me. My heart is beating so fast. I can't hear anything other than my heartbeats. Then there is this feeling like I have butterflies in my stomach. I felt lost.

Then, realization knocked me. Now everything is clearly sinking in.

He kissed me.

Damon kissed me.

I pushed him with all my might and ran away. I don't know where exactly to head to. My feet brought me towards the garden. I hid behind a bush. What happened inside my room lately automatically replayed in my mind. Napahawak ako sa labi ko.

"He kissed me."I uttered weakly.

Hanggang ngayon ay kinakabahan parin ako. Naiiyak ako. What did I do? Why did I ask him to teach me in the first place? He said no but why did he kiss me?

"Kyaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"narinig kong tili ni Miah.

Sumilip ako sa pinagtataguan ko. She's with Damon inside the garden swing.

"Oh my gosh! Damon, gusto kong tumalon sa pool! Sabihin mong totoo 'yon! Na hindi mo 'ko pinagtitripan para kiligin ako! Oh my gossshhhhhh!!!!!"Miah continued making me cry eventually.

While crying my heart out, I ran fast on the opposite direction to where they are. Dumaan ako sa likod ng bahay. I couldn't make it to my room so I stayed inside the storage room and cried. Why am I so stupid? Why did I let him kiss me?

He doesn't like you! He likes Miah! You're so stupid Cherrr!

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid..."I scolded myself.

I was crying my heart out when something tickled my heel.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"

There's a rat!!!! Ewwww!!! Nagtatalon-talon ako habang iniiwasan ang daga na hindi umaalis.

"What the fck! Go awayyy!"sigaw ko rito.

"Cher! Cher! Open the door!"

Saka ko lang naisip na lumabas ng silid na 'yon. Nang buksan ko 'yong pinto, agad niya akong niyakap.

"Baby? What happened? Are you okay?"Tiningnan niya ako ng maigi. "What happened? Why are you crying?"

Lalo akong naiyak sa ginawa niya.

"Damon... there's a rat."mahinang utal ko.

Hindi siya nakasagot nang sabihin ko 'yon. Niyakap niya ulit ako.

"I was so scared. Akala ko may masamang nangyari sa'yo."sambit niya habang niyayakap ako. "Baby... I'm here. It's fine."

Carefully, he wiped my tears using his hand while he fondly looked at me. While he did it, my heart is complaining.

"Baby, please hush now. I don't want to see you cry. It's just a rat."he said and smiled. "It's fine now. It's gone."

It's not. With you this close to me, I will not be fine. You can't keep treating me this way, Demon. You have to stay away because you're now starting to hurt me and I'm beginning to hate you.

I don't want to hate you.
