Twisted and Turned. { NashLene }

TAT. [ 8 ]

Hi! I have a new fanfic, loves. If you don't mind, please give it a look. 😉

Shot Down

Nanghina ang buong katawan ko. Everything else became irrelevant. All I could see was Nash and Alexa and the little distance between them. The way their hands perfectly fit, their ideal height difference, how they already somehow look a like. Every single detail about them just fits. It's as if the universe conspired to bring the two of them together.

Gusto kong umiwas ng tingin. Gusto kong tumakbo palayo roon. Gusto kong magpanggap na hindi ko sila nakikita. Subalit hindi ko magawa. I was pinned to my position and my eyes were fixed on them. It was like my body was torturing me. It was like it was rubbing the truth on my face.

Hindi kayo pwede.

It seems as if the clock stopped ticking. Like me, nobody dared move a muscle, everybody's eyes were on the pair on the door. I don't know if they were oblivious of the different looks they are earning or they are already used to them.

Unang nakabawi si JB. He cleared his throat and sarcastically grinned at the couple. He's still pissed?

"Nash," he eyed their intertwined hands before staring at Nash dead in the eye, "Buti naisipan mong bumalik. I thought Alexa locked you down."

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa tinuran ni JB. He really is still pissed. I, no, we rather waited for Alexa or Nash's response to his mocking statement. All I could hear was my heart beating to the background music. In anticipation or pain, I don't know.

I was paralyzed. I failed to determine if it was because of JB's mockery or of the sight before me. I felt Sofia's palm squeeze my arm. I turned to her and saw her giving me a consoling look.

"I'm okay." my voice was low, mirroring my low spirits.

Alexa's grip on Nash's hand tightened,  his jaw clenched as a result. He doesn't fancy his woman nor their relationship taken this lightly. Mali ang ginawa ni Nash ngunit ang pag-insulto sa kanila ay mali rin. A tooth for a tooth, is just never right.

When did loving someone become wrong?

"JB..." I placed my hand on his shoulder to somehow calm him down.

The tension in the air was intense. A fight might break if we just watched the three of them. JB was breathing heavily and for sure Nash is too.

JB closed his eyes in an effort to calm his senses. After another beat of silence, JB smiled weakly to me before motioning me to go back to my position.

He scowled at Nash once more before turning to his entourage, "Ayusan niyo na si Nash. We couldn't waste any minute anymore."

Matapos marinig iyon ay hindi magkanda-ugaga ang entourage ni Nash upang ayusan siya. Alexa was also just inches away from him.

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanila. Tama na sigurong realidad ang nakita ko. Seeing more of them would be bedeviling myself. Julian and Sofia were beside me, making sure I wouldn't feel lonely. I already am. I feel so lonely, seeing the man of my dreams with someone else.

I sighed and decided to distract myself. Binalingan ko ang dalawa sa aking tabi, "Hindi ako mawawalan ng malay, mga ateng." I joked.

Ngunit imbes na tumawa o ngumiti ay isang batok mula kay Julian ang nakuha ko.
