Episode 22:

"So, are you planning to decline him now?" Kaagad na tanong ni Rosendale matapos kong makapasok dito sa kwarto niya.

I sighed and crossed my arms in front of her. She was leaning on the headboard of her bed, her eyes focused to nothing but me. She's really stubborn. "Rosendale, I already told you that I won't."

"You're stubborn." She shook her head na akala mo problem child ako na kailangan niyang i-deal.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Coming from you."

"Did you lock the door?"

"Why?" I asked back. Nawiwirduhan ako sa inaakto niya. She's looking at me weirdly and I don't think I like that kind of attention. "Aalis na rin naman na ako. You want me to lock the door after?"

Umiling siya. She stood up and walked close to me. Napaatras ako ng isang hakbang. She was just staring at me without saying anything. I heard a very short and familiar click. She locked the door.

"Lalabas pa ako, hoy." I told her. I tried to touch the doorknob to twist and open it but she caught my hand. I glared at her. She's being odd again. "Let go, will you?"

"Come sit beside me first." she said. I didn't listen and tried yanking my hand away—only to get caught again. She was now holding both of my hands. She shook her head with an annoying grin I wanted to tear off. Nakakainis talaga siya! "I won't mind locking you here in my room if you'll not listen. I can easily tie your hands on mine, you know that? Better yet, on the bed."

"Fuck." I muttered under my breath. "Sisipain na kita."

"Try it, may kalalagyan ka."

I gulped. Her stare looked really intense to the point that I actually felt the hairs of my body shivering up. Nabubuwisit ako na kinakabahan. She's annoyingly scary for some reason and I was not sure if she's doing it on purpose to make me give up from restraining. Sa huli, isang buntong-hininga ang sinagot ko.

Rosendale pulled me and I did nothing but follow her with a disapproving grunt. She sat on the bed and she motioned me to sit beside her. Napailing na lang ako at sumunod—only to be pulled to sit on her lap. "What the heck!"

"And...perfect." I felt her sniffing my hair, her arms enveloping me. She's so warm and comforting, I can't deny that although I'll never admit it.

I hate to say that this—everything—was starting to be comfortable for me. Rosendale was an annoying existence I'd like to stay with. Pero hindi na niya 'yon kailangan malaman.

"You smell good as always, Echo." she whispered on my left ear.

"That's creepy, stop that." I told her while trying to get away from her but to no avail. Her embrace became tighter and her lips were now touching my ear. Kinikilabutan ako sa hininga niya. "Rosendale!"

"When you like someone, you can't help but notice every single thing about that person and even if you find her flaws, that doesn't make the person any less." In an instant, I was now lying on the bed, with her hovering above me. She was too swift that I didn't even notice how we ended up like this. "Like you."

"That's ridiculous." I answered while struggling after she pinned my hands at the top of my head. "You're being irrational."

"I'm never rational, Echo." She leaned and kissed my forehead. Natigilan ako at napatitig sa kanya. She looked so gentle, even her voice sounded like one. "If you're going to ask me why I'm doing such, like trying to stop you from going out with him, I'll give you irrational answers that's unacceptable to you because we're indeed the opposite poles."
