Bound To You

Chapter 62

“Why are you crying?" I asked worriedly as I hugged her.

My heart thumped wildly as I was reminded by Ian. Is he the reason why she's crying? Did she love him that much?

I shook my head and shut my eyes tightly. "Ayaw mo ba talaga sakin?" I mumbled as I tightened my hold on her. I've waited for her to respond, but nothing came. I took a deep a breath and just continued, "I'm sorry but I won't give up. Makakalimutan mo din siya. I promise, I will make you forget him."

Abruptly, she pushed me away as she scowled at me as if I said something confusing to her, “Pinagsasabi mo?" tanong niya.

"Ian," I quickly replied as I helped her wiping her tears.

Once she's finally mine, I would do my best not to make her shed tears. Kung bakit na kasi lumingon pa siya sa iba? Nasa tabi niya lang naman ako, nangungulit sa kanya. Tss.

"You're wasting your tears. Akala mo ba dahil umiyak ka, pagbibigyan kita?" I shook my head profusely.

No way, Pamela Reyes. I know we are meant for each other, therefore, I will fight for what is meant to happen. And that's ‘us’.

"I will stay," I added without looking at her.

"Ano'ng pinaglalaban mo?"

I almost hissed as I snapped my head on her. I don't really feel good whenever I think of her being into other guy. She's the only girl I've been dreaming to be with for the rest of my life. But there she was, crying over someone else.

Fvck it.

I started at her with my brows furrowed and pointed her left chest as I answered. She was taken aback that's why I immediately pulled down my hand and sat properly while bringing my eyes back ahead.

"I'm going to steal it away from him..”  I firmly said lowly.

I don't care if she finds me selfish about this. Its about time she has to see my bad side.

"Teka nga. Liwanagin mo nga muna yung sinabi mong kahit umiyak ako hindi mo 'ko pagbibigyan? Alam mo ba kung bakit ako umiyak?" asked Pam.

My lips protruded as I looked at her. I don't think I would ever get mad at her, kahit ano pang gawin niya. Pero konti na lang magtatampo na talaga ako. Why is she so dense?

My forehead creased, "Umiyak ka kasi ayaw kitang tigilan. Gusto mong ‘wag nang ipagpatuloy yung panliligaw ko sayo, in short, binabasted mo 'ko. Hindi mo alam kung ano yung naramdaman ko kahapon. Mas ramdam ko yung sakit dito kaysa sa paa ko,” I answered. Then, I held her hand and took a deep breath, "I won't force you to love or even just like me. Just let me love you, Pam.."

I stared at her and my heart thumped frantically when she finally stared back with those unreadable expression. I'm not expecting a response for her that's why I'm quite surprised when she did.

“I love you," she said.

Instantly, I nodded. I've been telling her that for quite a while now, ngayon lang siguro nagsi-sink-in sa kanya. And it's a good thing. At least, it's a sign that she's starting to believe me now.

"Yes, I love you.." I repeated, wholeheartedly.

Her brows raised that made me frown. She's starting to get irritated again and I prepared myself for her outburst. I just hope she toned it down for I don't how could I handle another blow from her.

"I love you.."

"I love you-- huh?" I blinked several times. And my heart suddenly stopped from beating as I had realized what she had actually says.

She what?

I stared at her in utter disbelief. Did I really heard her say she loves me? Or am I just hallucinating? Fvck. I think I'm going crazy.

Then, she laughed.

Pamela Reyes laughed heartily in front of me as if I just cracked the funniest joke ever.

“Ulitin mo nga," I finally voiced out, cutting her laughter.

I gulped when she became silent as her eyes focused on me. Her intent stares instantly made my chest pumped wildly. I have never been this nervous before!

"Pakinggan mong mabuti, dahil hindi mo na ulit 'to maririnig," She started after she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Is this really is it?

I felt the corner of my lips tugged upward as I nodded slowly. I am not assuming but it takes no genius to know what those brown orbs were saying to me. And I am not as dense as her.

I felt her shaking hands covered mine, whilst I couldn't help but grin as I have waited for her to prove what I heard was right.

Looking straight into my eyes, she said clearly, “I love you, Trystan..”

I felt time freezes. I didn't know it would still rendered me speechless eventhough I'm already expecting her to say it.

Damn..

She really fvcking loves me..

I didn't say anything nor let her add something after that, for I immediately claimed her lips. But her surprise didn't stop there..

I gasped and instantly, I felt my body stiffened when her lips unexpectedly moved, mimicking mine. Heat rushed all over me and I groaned as I deepened our kiss. My contol was nowhere to be found and I didn't think my actions might offend her. Fortunately, it didn't as we continued sharing the our very first passionate kiss.

We're both breathing hard when our lips fell apart. I shut my eyes as I leaned my forehead on hers. “You really love me, huh..” I muttered.

Slowly, the corner of my lips lifted. All the damn time, I was miserable for thinking that she's in love with someone else. I chuckled at myself. Finally, I felt elated as all the heavy burning weighing inside my chest have finally lifted. I could say, this is really how it feels to be in the cloud nine.

My arms wrapped around her as I gently pecked her lips. I don't think I could get enough of her. And it didn't help when she snaked her arms around mine as well, and pressed her cheeks on my chest as if she wanted to listen to my abnormally fast heartbeat.

“You heard it?” I queried, and gently tightened my hold on her, “It beats for you..” I continued then kissed the top of her head.

She didn't respond. But she squeezed her face more on my chest and that was enough to make me feel so fucking giddy.

Pamela Reyes, the girl who have stolen my heart was on my arms after confessing that she loves me, too. Who the heck wouldn't feel what I was feeling, huh?

Absolutely the best day of my life.
