La Cuevas #2: Hazards Of Love (PUBLISHED UNDER IMMAC)

Chapter 14

Tulala akong pumasok sa kuwarto at binitawan ang heels ko sa gilid ng kama. Dumiretso ako sa banyo na may blangkong isip at naligo. Nang matapos ako ay malamya akong humiga sa kama.

I told him I like him. I remember him telling me to trust him and just hang on. I remember how he pressed my body against his and I remember how sweet was his lips but I don't remember him telling me he likes me too.

Ano ba ang pumasok sa isip ko at nakalimutan kong may girlfriend siya? Is she really his girlfriend? Then why did he still ask to court me? Bakit hindi niya sinabi na may girlfriend siya kung meron nga talaga? I badly wante to ask, but I didn't have the courage to confront him about it.

Wyatt walked towards me and stopped in front of the bed. He knelt down using his one knee and held both of my hands. I looked at him blankly as I try not to burst my anger out on him.

"Baby.."

There. I felt my senses weekend again, I want to pull him closer but my anger overwhelmed me. I didn't respond, instead I just stared at him without expression.

"I'm sorry if I ruined our first date today." I was a bit stunned when he said that. That's a date? I didn't even think of it that way. "I have something to do in Manila tonight." He added.

My forehead creased and I managed to ask. "With whom?"

He was silenced but then answered. "A friend."

I didn't buy it. "I clearly heard you saying she must stay in your condo, is that a friend for you? You're a guy and she's—"
