Episode 23:

Napamura na lang ako nang muling mapansin ang ginawa ni Rosendale sa leeg ko habang naliligo. I caught a glimpse of it on the mirror that pissed me off. It's so noticeable that I didn't even know how to hide it. Sinubukan ko itong sabuning maigi pero mukha lang akong tanga dahil aware naman akong hindi iyon basta mawawala.

"Damn it!"

The cold water drizzling from the shower covered my body, making me shivered. I stood still, my eyes close, my hands on the wall. I breathed deep, forced to remember what happened last night. She was forceful, I know, I tried to struggle so how dare she to say that I wasn't mad that time? That I was just annoyed and embarrassed?

Gusto ko siyang saktan. Eh, kung siya kaya ang lagyan ko nito, hindi ba siya maaasar? Hindi ba siya mahihiya? Fuck. How was I even going to hide it? She's really determine to stop me from going out.

I found myself clenching my fist as I bit my lower lip when I suddenly imagined her lips on me again. Shit. Shit. I leaned my head on the wall, muli akong napahinga ng malalim. Bigla akong nanlambot. Her words kept echoing in my damn head.

"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."

"You smell good as always, Echo."

I can remember it quite well even if I didn't want to. Her voice, her tone, her breath, her warmth. It almost felt like torture to be affected this way and not knowing if she was feeling the same.

"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. Like you."

And I didn't even fucking like her! Stupid Rosendale. Stupid me. Wala na siyang ginawa kung hindi manggulo ng isip.

"I'm never rational, Echo. If you're going to ask me why I'm doing such, like trying to stop you from going out  him, I'll give you irrational answers that's unacceptable to you because we're indeed the opposite poles."

"We always clash, you keep on repelling away from me but look, I keep getting close at you, trying to make you think irrational like me. So you will never need to keep on getting away. I might flip you like a magnet."

"Hurt too much?"

"Now, stay still..."

I held on my chest, it was beating hard and I didn't even know how to stop it. It's mine, why won't it listen to me?

"Are you familiar with love bites, Echo?"

"You might as well decline his invitation now, or he will see...that."

Napahawak ako sa leeg. My hand was trembling and it's not even from the cold of the water. I was just simply quivering because of the thoughts and her voice in my head. Tumingala ako at hinayaang sunud-sunod na bumagsak ang patak ng tubig sa mukha ko.
