Recapturing You [RCS#1]

Mᴀᴀʀᴛᴇ

Bᴀsᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ʜɪs ᴇxᴛᴇʀɴᴀʟ ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇs, I can implicate that his age might not be quite far from Thrym's. Kung sakaling magka-edad lang sila, mayron kaming limang taong gap. Yet, I noticed that his body-built is a little larger than my fiancé. Also, I won't deny that he is ten times appealing than Thrym. If it weren't for his rudeness, I might even say that he is closest to perfection. Kung makasinghal, akala mo hindi babae ang kausap!

Nang manariwa sa isip ko ang nangyari kanina ay sumubsob ako sa mga unan at impit na tumili sa kahihiyan! Kulang na lang hilingin kong lamunin ako ng lupa kanina. I am usually tactful, I was just so unlucky when I failed to get a hold of myself last time. My brain just terribly malfunctioned!

"Shit! Why did I even fuckin' say that?"

Nakita ko kung paano siya humalakhak kanina nang sabihin ko 'yon. It felt insulted. Damn him! Hindi ko alam kung paano niya nasisikmura ang sariling bibig na puno ng buhangin! He had no manners at all, if it wasn't for too much embarrassment, I could have choked him to death!

Talagang isusumbong ko siya kay Thrym. Soon, he will haul himself before me to beg for forgiveness about his ill treatment of me. Tingnan lang natin. No one is allowed to treat me like that!

Dahil hindi naman ako dinadalaw ng antok, nagpasya akong lumabas ng kwarto. I lazily headed my way to the sunroom. I saw Lily laying comfortably on the couch while reading an SPG novel! Sometimes I wonder if she really is innocent or not.

"Dem, what are you doing here? You should be sleeping na." aniya nang maupo ako sa one-seater couch.

I remember them bombarding me with so much questions earlier. Saan daw ba ako galing at bakit ako basa! Hindi ko sila sinagot. Kapag sabihin ko ang ginawa ng lalaking 'yon, baka tanggalin siya ni Thrym.

Oo na, ayoko pa rin namang matanggal siya! May konsensya rin ako. I admit that threatening him is not also good. I didn't mean any of my warnings. I got carried away, I was annoyed and he made me really upset! Kahit naman sino, makakapagsalita nang ganun. Maliban na lang kung talagang marunong magkontrol sa sariling emosyon.

And that is not my disposition. I am bad at that.

"Hindi ako makatulog, Lily. Where's Calvin?" Iginala ko ang tingin sa paligid ngunit ni anino nito, hindi ko namataan.

"Kausap ang girlfriend niya." she shortly replied without looking at me.

I groaned and leaned back on the chair.

"That punk, he is just toying her." I sputtered in accusation.

Kunot noong ibinaba ni Lily ang libro at tiningnan ako. "Huh? Paano mo naman nasabi?"

Umirap ako. "The girl is not that pretty. I have already memorized that jerk's standards when it comes to his girls."

Tumawa siya at nagkibit ng balikat. "Hayaan mo na 'yon. Baka na-bo-bored lang. At least may pinagkakaabalahan imbis na asarin ka. Anyway, you should watch your mouth, sissy." She chuckled and went reading back the book.

I pouted my lips and looked at her. Paano ba nito nasusundan ang binabasa gayong iniistorbo ko siya?

Magkahawig talaga kami ni Ate. We both have the same deep, brown eyes and a tiny face. Long, slender neck and narrow, pointed nose. Magkaiba nga lang ang ayos ng aming kilay. Mine are thick while hers were sleazy. She had a long straight hair and I have a long, wavy one. She was tan and I am fair.

Many claimed that Lily was prettier than me. I agree with them but I didn't really like being compared with her. Everyone varies in their own physical appearance and personality. Some twins are not even that identical. Kami pa kaya?
