Behind that Fictional Character (Completed)

Chapter 17

Amaris' POV

"Do you still love him?"

Parang nabingi ako sa tanong ni Kale. Mahal ko pa nga ba siya? I assessed my feelings. I looked at my moon intently.

I know my answer. But I'll have to make sure. I need to talk to Zild, I mean Janus.

"Wait. You don't have to answer my moon. Anong oras kayo mag uusap?" he smiled. But his smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Sa lunch break siguro. Is it okay with you? Or you could come with me" I touched his cheeks and caressed it. Maybe through this he can feel my feelings right now.

"No. Bibigyan ko kayo ng privacy. Kung ano man ang maging resulta ng pag uusap niyo I'll accept it. Just remeber I love you so damn much." hinawakan niya ang kamay ko nakahawak sa pisngi niya at dinala ito sa labi niya.

"Whatever happens you will still be my moon. Wag ka ngang magdrama ng ganyan. Hindi bagay." pinisil ko ang ilong niya at napatawa ako noong medyo nalukot ang mukha niya. He pouted. Oh my gawd he's so adorable. I really love this guy.

"Sige na balik kana sa book signing mo. May event pa mamaya ooh." iniikot niya at iniharap pagawi sa pinaggaganapan ng book signing. Inakbayan niya ako at nagsimulang maglakad.

Nagpatangay naman ako sa kanya. Humawak naman ako sa bewang niya. We're perfectly fitted for this. I really felt safe and comfortable in his arms. I can feel the warmth from his body.

Noong nakarating na kami malapit sa table ko ay tinanggal na niya ang kamay niya sa balikat ko at iniharap ako sa kanya. He kissed my forehead and whispered "I love you" while looking intently at my eyes.

"I love you more." I whispered too.

Bumalik na ako sa pagpirma at sa pagpapapicture with the readers. Hindi ko namalayan lunch break na pala.

This is it. It's time to know the truth. I stood up and looked around to see if Janus is around here somewhere.

May naramdaman naman akong kamay na humawak sa balikat ko.

"Looking for me baby shark?" he whispered behind my ear. I can feel his breath and I shivered at the feeling.

"A-ah yes. I-I'm looking for you. Shall we go now?" humarap ako sa kanya.

And I held my breath when I saw his smiling face. Damn. I don't like this kind of feeling. I should not feel this.

"Tara na." iniumang naman niya sa akin amg braso niya. An action telling me na ihawak ko ang kamay ko sa braso niya.

Nakakabastos pag hindi ko yun ginawa. Pero nakakabastos din sa boyfriend ko pag tinanggap ko yun.

"I can handle myself. Sorry."

"Ah. Sige okay lang. I understand. Ako na magdadala ng gamit mo. Where do you want to eat?" kinuha niya ang bagpack ko at siya ang nagsuot.

"Sa Jolibee nalang." napahinto siya sa paglalakad at tumingin sa akin.

"Yun talaga choice mo?" he asked with an amused face.

"Uh oo bakit?" naguguluhan kong sagot. What's wrong if I want to eat there?

"Uh wala naman. I expected na mag aaya ka sa mamahaling kainan." he half smiled and we continued walking.

"You should never ever expect that can hurt you big time." bago ko pa maisip na wag sabihin yun nailabas na ng bibig ko ang mga kataga. Tsk. Minsan talaga mas mabilis kumilos labi ko kaysa sa utak at common sense. Ano ba yan.
