"You chose the right district, baby." Nanlamig ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang marinig ko ang boses niya. How the fuck did he get here?

Umikot ako para tingnan siya and there he is, standing at the end of the staircase with his arms crossed and a smirk displayed on his face. His green eyes looked directly into my eyes.

"Do you know why?" He asked. Naglakad siya papalapit sa akin. I wanted to get out of here. Pero parang dumikit ang paa ko sa sahig dahil hindi ako makagalaw.

I'm not scared. I'm not nervous. I just want to get out.

Nang makalapit siya sa'kin, he held my hand. Parang nakuryente ang kamay ko nang hawakan niya ito at biglang bumilis ang pintig ng puso ko. I can feel butterflies in my stomach at nawalan ng lakas ang tuhod ko. Shit. I know this feeling. This can't be.

Pinilit ko ang sarili kong tumayo ng tuwid at tumingin ng diretso sa mga mata niya para hindi ipahalata na kinakabahan ako.

No. I shouldn't be feeling this way. No. Not for him.

"Because I… I will be here to love you." And with that, he pulled me closer until his lips touched mine.

Double shit.
