Preying Her

Chapter 20

+++++

Parted Ways

Nagising ako sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa aking mukha. I covered my face with my right arm. I'm still sleepy but I need to get up now. I still have a things to do and I don't want to ruin my schedule because I am slumberous.

Humikab ako at saka bumangon sa aking kama that when I realize someone looking at me. I saw Cadris standing in front of the window, wearing a boxer short and a white sando. I immediately turned away my gaze to him. It's not that I am affected with his stares, I am just not comfortable with his boxer. You know, it's bulging.

"Good morning!" bati nito sa'kin. I didn't bother to greet him back. I'm still kinda annoyed with him because he's an ultimately a liar.

I rolled my eyes and I started to walk towards the bathroom. I wonder how did he get inside my room? Hindi naman siya sa kwarto ko natulog. And damn, I won't allow him to sleep beside me as if we were okay. Nah, manigas siya!

I did my morning rituals; naghimalos ako, nag toothbrush at inayos ang sarili ko.

Lumabas ako ng matapos ako pero pansamantala akong nagulat ng makitang nasa harap ng pinto si Cadris. Nakapamewang ito habang nakataas ang kilay. Nagtatakang tiningnan ko siya.

"What?!" masungit na saad ko.

Kumunot ang noo nito saka lumapit sa'kin na iyong tipong isang dangkal nalang ang distansiya namin sa isa't isa.

"Are you mad?" he said, whispering into my ears. I swallowed my own saliva because of the freakin' effect he just gave me. Damn, what was that?

"I-I'm not!" sabi ko sabay tulak sa kanya. He chuckled as he raised his both hands, surrendering.

"Yes, you are. It's very obvious," he said as a matter of factly.

"Can you please get out of my room?! At paano ka nakapasok dito?"

He smirked.

"I have my ways."

"Tsk. Doon ka nga kay Dara!" naiinis na tugon ko bago siya lampasan.

I heard him chuckled. Nadagdagan ang inis ko dahil sa ginawa niya. He's enjoying this!

Padabog kong kinuha ang tuwalya at saka tinungo ang closet para kumuha ng damit. Ayaw kong magbihis dito lalo pa at nandito si Cadris sa kwarto ko. As if, mapapalabas ko siya dito.

I raised my left eyebrow nang makitang hinaharangan nito ang pinto ng bathroom. He was grinning from ear to ear. Naiinis na nilapitan ko siya at hinampas ng tuwalya.

"What do you think you are doing huh?!"

"Ouch. Stop. Damn!"

Wala akong pakealam kung masaktan siya basta gusto ko lang siyang saktan dahil sa ginawa niya sa'kin this past few days. He makes me fucking jealous! Akala ko nagkabalikan na sila Dara, akala ko wala na akong pag-asa, akala ko pinaasa niya na naman ako. He didn't even tell me na hinahanap niya pala ang Mama ko sa tulong ni Dara! At naiinis ako dahil hindi niya man lang ako pinapansin sa school.

"I hate you! I hate you! Umalis ka nga dito!"

"Stop it! Masakit na...aray!"

Napahinto lang ako ng makitang sobrang pula na ng balat niya. Ang leeg nito ay namumula na din dahil sa hampas ko. Bigla akong natauhan sa ginawa ko.
