Try to Tame Miss Cold

Chapter 45

Writer's POV

Lulan ng kanyang sasakyan, tinungo ni Monique ang condo unit ni Ares. When she reached the floor kung saan nakatira si Ares, hindi niya maiwasan ang kabahan. But she tries to disregard the negative thoughts and replace it with positive one. Na baka nagkamali lang ng rinig si Matthew doon sa bar kasi nga malakas ang sounds at maingay.

Nasa tapat na siya ng unit ni Ares at di na siya nagdalawang isip pa na pindutin ang door bell. Nanginginig ang daliri niya nang pindutin iyon, anticipating what will happen when she enters his place. Di nagtagal ay tumambad sa kanya ang taong gusto niyang makita matapos ang ilang mga linggo. Namimiss niya ito kaya niyakap niya kaagad ito. Parang nabunutan siya ng tinik nang mayakap niya na ito. She can't explain the feeling of joy. Masyadong masarap sa pakiramdam na mayakap niya na ito.

After minutes, she freed him from her hug and held his face. She kissed him with longing. Sa sobrang saya niya na makita na ang lalake, hindi niya namalayan ang malamig nitong pakikitungo sa kanya. Ni hindi man lang ito sumagot sa yakap at halik niya. Hindi rin ito ngumiti simula man lang ng makapasok siya. Hindi rin siya nito niyaya na papasukin siya sa unit nito. Kung iisipin lahat ng nangyari bago lang ay kagagawan lang ni Monique dahil sa sobrang kasiyahan na nadarama niya nang makita niya ang lalake.

Their forehead still touches each other after the kiss. She held his face and looked into his eyes. She found nothing but a cold stare. Parang piniga ang puso niya dahil doon pero ngumiti pa rin siya. Ngunit hinawakan lang ni Ares ang mga kamay niya at inilayo ang sarili kay Monique. He led his self to the door and closed it.

"Why are you here?" Malamig niyang tanong kay Monique at hindi man lang nag abala na tignan ang dalaga. Nakaharap pa rin siya sa pinto at hawal hawak pa rin ang door knob.

"I'm here because I miss you a lot. Kamusta ka?" She smiled hopefully while looking sa likod niya.

"I'm okay but not until your twin brother punched me." She faced her with a smirk touching the side of his lips na may sugat dahil sa pagkakasuntok ni Matthew.

"I'm sorry sa ginawa niya. He was just being reckless." She made a shy smile but worried.

"I know why you are here. Do you want to confirm things, right? Well let me tell you, he was right. All of those that I've said were right. I played you. I played with your feelings. I put a bet on you. And yes, I won the bet. I tamed Miss Cold! Who would have thought of that? The coldest girl in town was tamed bu the famous Ares Martin Calligaris. That's a big A Plus!" He admitted and laughed. He shook his head that it seems like hindi siya makapaniwala na madali lang palang maloko si Monique.

"Di ba nagbibiro ka lang? Prank lang ito di ba? April fools pa ba yan? May na ngayon ah." Monique said trying to convince herself that Ares was just joking. But her cracked voice is evident ngunit pinipigilan niya lang na tumulo ang kanyang luha. Parang nahihirapan siyang lumunok sa pagkakataong iyon at naninikip ang kanyang dibdib sa kanyang naririnig.

"Do I look like I'm joking? But if you don't want to believe, I'll tell you that I'm not making this issue like a joking shit. Do you get me? So now that uou confirmed that thing, you can leave NOW!!!" He shouted the last word while pointing the door. Napaigik si Moniue dahil tinaasan siya ng boses ni Ares.

"Alam mo hindi ako naniniwala sa'yo kasi alam kong mahal mo ako. Naramdaman ko yun dati." She said with all her might pero anumang oras ay parang bibigay na ang tuhod niya. Parang naapektuhan ito ng sakit na dinaramdam niya ngayon. Parang sinaksak ang puso niya na pati ang tuhod niya ay biglang nanghina.

"Do you know how I made my past girls fell inlove with me? Because I can trick them with my smile and deceiving looks. And here you are, just like one of those whom I gave pleasure. You're nothing but like them." He was stressing his last sentence para mas madama ni Monique ang pagkadisgusto sa kanya ngunit isang sampal lang ang natanggap niya galing sa dalaga. Kahit ang dalaga ay nabigla sa nagawa niyang pagbuhat ng kamay kay Ares.
