The wind is cold. And what I totally mean is that it is really really freaking cold that it could freeze you to death.

Nakaupo kaming dalawa ni Ash sa magkabilang bato at nasa gitna namin ang apoy. Ngunit di ko paring magawang maging komportable sa apoy dahil nilalamig pa din ang katawan ko. I pulled my knees to my chest and hugged myself to keep me warm. How can I sleep in this state? If I fall asleep, surely I would wake up fronzen on the spot, so I better stay alert.

"Fuck" - I stared puzzled at Ash as he stand up on his feet and walked beside me. He took off his leather jacket and leaned down, surprising me by wrapping it on my shoulder. I gave him a questioning look, my pulse quicken because of his sudden action.

If I were a princess, I would thought that he was just a prince doing his job on being a gentleman to a lady but then he was Ash. He was no gentleman.

"I didn't even asked yo---"

"Don't even think about complaining."

"I wasn't but you don't have to give this to me." -I pointed his jacket that is laying on my shoulder. "I'm fine." - However I didn't do anything to take it off because it's quite comfy.

He rolled his eyes and went back to sit on the grass. Now he was observing me. "Look at you, denying the obvious." -he said flatly.

I went quiet for that. His right. I'm too obvious, you could see through me that I'm really cold. The wind blowing on us is freaking cold that I wished I had a scarf over my face to protect me from shuddering. I can even feel my hand shaking beside me.

Yes, sure thing I'm freezing as hell plus yung dress ko pa ay basa kaya wala akong init na nararamdaman kundi lamig lang. Hindi naman kasi matutuyo to ng madalian lalo na't mabigat at mamahaling tela pa. Jeez wrong choice of clothes Becca.

"How could someone do this?" -my voice were barely a whisper and since there was no sound but silence, Ash heard me.

"Why ask me? I'm no bodyguard of yours." -he anwered. Totally bored of everything.

I gripped his jacket and tried to ignore his rudeness. "Can't you be more serious for a moment?"

"I'm always serious"

Right. I forgot. His always that serious of everything that he even take jokes seriously.

"Alright. Palagi ka kasing walang pake sa mundo. Kahit nasa kamatayan na tayo, you still don't care about a thing"

"Why should I care? Is that necessary?" He lean back on the rock, resting his head on it. Now that his eyes are not on me anymore, I took the opportunity to examine him.

He look so calm yet I could sense that his tired too. "Ofcourse it's necessary. Pwede tayong mamatay anytime kanina."

Ash divert his eyes on me again. "Nah, you can't die if I'm here." He said as if he was totally sure of it. I look away fast as a lightning. I don't know why but his statement made me believe for a second that I would be safe under his protection.
