Secretly Loving You

Panick

Chapter 9

***

"Ate is kuya your boyfriend?" Napalaki ang mata ko sa tanong ni Aliyah. I mean she's so young bakit may alam na agad silang mga ganitong bagay? Buti nalang bago pa ako nagsalita, bumanat na ang freak hay salamat.😩
"Enough of that interview, we have a project to do" kaya agad ako tumayo kasi nag signal siya na sa taas kami gagawa ng project at nag wave na sa mga bata para mag good bye, tapos sinundan ko si Jaycee sa taas. Pumunta kami ni Jaycee sa kuwarto niya para maka gawa ng project, kaso nauna pa siyang pumasok kaysa sa akin diba ang galing😒. At sumunod naman ako sinarado ko ang pintuan at napa lilingon ako sa kanyang kuwarto ang grande parin kasi yung chandelier ang ganda bagay sa kulay ng walls ng bedroom niya! Ang ganda na sana ng pinagmasdan ko ang room niya na hindi ko naman namalayan as I laid my eyes on him naka topless lang pala siya😱.

Pinagmasdan ko ang buong katawan niya, hindi ko rin maalis ang mata ko sa mga abs niya kahit gusto kong umiwas ng tingin.
"Done checking me out?" Bigla pagtanong ni Jaycee kaya nagising na rin ako sa wakas sa katotohanan. I blinked twice and remembered the question he ask me so I quickly response into it.
"A-ano kasi... Oo tapos na" nang sinabi ko yun bigla ko tinakip ang bibig ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko yun sinabi. Ari ano ba!!!😫😫 kasalanan mo toh author eh!!
Suddenly he gave me a evil smirk and he kept making small steps to go forward while I'm taking my steps backwards until my body feels the cold wall so I jolted a bit. Nako patay na!!😱😱😰

"A-anong planong mong gawin?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang naka kunot ang noo ko. Kinakabahan na ako sa lalaki na ito.
"Take a guess?" Sagot niyang matipid saakin wow huhulain ko?! Sino ako madam awring?! Ayos siya ah nek nek niya!! Then I got panicked since our heads were now one inch closer, I can feel his hot breath against my face, his piercing black eyes sent shivers down my spine. I decided to avoid his eye contact and escape so I shrugged my body, but his hands suddenly were either at the side of my head trapping me between his arms. Hindi na ako nakapag isip ng mabuti at hindi ko na rin alam kung anong gagawin ko kaya napapikit nalang ako ng mata.

As I closed my eyes I didn't feel anything, so I decided to open my eyes to see what's going on.
"Ari you're so unpredictable" he said while his sitting on his bed and wearing a shirt, while I'm processing what just happen. Ano yun? Anong ginawa niya?
"Were you expecting something?" He ask.
"N-nothing" I answered hesitantly and sat on the side of his bed oppositely.
"So what song are we gonna sing?" Tanong ko para naman maiba ang subject. He thought for a while and suddenly looked at me.
"What was is all about?" He ask so I quickly looked at my phone to text Bella.

Ariana:
Hey Bella what was the song of the project all about?

Bella:
Its about love that's why it's called "duet", why having trouble fitting with your partner?

Ariana:
No it's not like that I'm just curious that's all, and don't be so uncomfortable to Kyle I mean yah know.

Bella:
Is there's something happened between you two?

Ariana:
No! You know what I'm busy bye!

Bella:
Okay bye!

Nang tapos na ang pag te-text ko kay Bella my eyes suddenly laid down to Jaycee.
"Done texting your friend?" He ask in a cold tone.
"Oo sabi niya tungkol daw sa pag ibig" sagot ko sa kanya na parang wala lang ang pag cocold niya sa akin.
"You are just asking her what was the topic but it takes an hour" he said still in a cold tone, so I rolled my eyes of him.
"Oo na, sige na fine" I said in defeat para hindi na lumaki pa ang away namin kasi parang wala naman sa amin ang aawat at one thing baka mahalataan pa kami ng nanay niya.
"So anong kanta?" I ask again changing the subject,
"You kept changing topics how about you decide"he said pointing at me.
"Fine, how about-" pagsimula ko kaso agad naman niya pinutol.
"It should be English by the way" kaya napabuntong hinga ako at nagsimulang mag isip ulit ng kanta.
"Arte naman ba't English pa?" Tanong ko sa kanya and I think he looked pissed so nagpatuloy nalang ako mag isip ng kanta.
"Alam ko na Paano ba magmahal nina Piolo Pascual and Sarah Geronimo" sabi ko sa kanya.
"I said an English song not a Tagalog one" pagreklamo niya kaya I rolled my eyes on him and said.
"Bakit ikaw may naisip ka na ba?!" Tanong ko and I think he gets the point
at mukhang sang-ayon naman na ito.
"Okay do you have a copy of the song?" He ask and I simply nodded, I took my phone and quickly searched the song. Ako ang kakakanta ng line ni Sarah Geronimo at siya naman kay Piolo Pascual
"Wait, it has a high pitch are you sure this is your song choice?" Tanong niya sakin na may concern sa kanyang boses.
"Sus! Oks lang yan! Ako pa wala kang tiwala" sagot ko sa kanya at pinindot na rin ang tugtog.

~Time Skip~

We were practicing almost an hour, hanggang sa 'di ko na malayan ang oras. I checked the time to see what time it is and I found out its 10:30pm. Grabeh 8 hours na ako sa bahay nila!! Kaya pala nag yaya sila ng dinner kanina.
"Ay Jaycee kailangan ko nang umuwi" sabi ko kay Jaycee habang nag iimpake na ng gamit.
"Why it's still early" sagot naman niya kaya nagulat ako sa sinabi niyang early. Early pa ba ang 10:30 sa kanya!!
"Hindi kasi may curfew kami saamin eh" palusot ko and he just nod. I ran out of the house para maka-abot pa ako ng taxi, when suddenly someone held my wrist.
"W-what are you doing?" I ask hesitantly.
"I'll take you a ride" he answered while dragging me to his car.
"Saglit nga lang, hindi ko naman sinabing ihatid mo 'ko ah" sabi ko sa kanya habang tinatanggal ang kamay niya. 
"Don't you think I also want this to do" sagot niya then he suddenly pointed his mom at the balcony eyeing on us. Kaya pala OMG!! Hindi ko alam!
"Fine, I'll go" sagot ko sa kanya in a tune of defeat.
"With you" pag patuloy and gave him a forced smile and he did the same, before I got in to the car I wave my goodbyes to his mom and dad especially to his siblings then I get inside the car then we drove off the cold street.

***

Nakarating kami sa dorm ko ng tahimik, paano naman kasi walang sinuman ang may balak na mag simula ng conversation kaya ayun.
"Salamat sa pag hatid ah" sabi ko sa kanya.
"I didn't do that on purpose, so no need to thank me" sagot niya then he quickly drove away.
"Eh di wag" sabi ko sa aking sarili at pumasok nalang ng dorm. Pagpasok ko hinubad ko agad ang suot kong heels kasi ang sakit na ng paa ko hindi talaga ako mahilig sa takong, at umakyat na rin sa taas para mag palit na ng pantulog. Then I jumped to bed and let myself to stretch 'cause I'm really tired, I tried myself to sleep since may mga thoughts na paulit-ulit sa ulo ko, kaya napaisip ako bigla. Hahalikan ba talaga ako nun? Bakit ako hahalikan nun? Nababaliw na ba sya?! Hay erase, erase!! Makatulog na nga lang.
