CHAPTER FIFTY TWO

NORTHERN'S POV

I bit my lower lip when I saw him came out from the bathroom. A towel hung dangerously on his waist as he walked in the room displaying his well-tone body. His hair was wet like he wasn't caress a towel in them properly. Tumutulo ang ilang patak ng tubig mula sa buhok papunta sa likuran kung saan malayang naglalakbay ang tubig sa malapad at matigas nitong likod. I watched as his muscles flexes everytime he moved. He caught me drooling over him and smirked as he made a beeline towards me.

"Enjoying the view, huh?" he teased.

I gripped the sheets around my chest when he lean lower to kiss me on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I deepen the kiss. His warm and fresh breath linger in me, awakening the familiar heat inside my body. We were both catched our breath when our lips parted away. Uhaw na hinabol ko ang mga labi niya ngunit kusa na itong lumayo at tumawa sa inasal ko.

Sumimangot ako ngunit agad ding napangiti nang mahuli siyang nakatingin sa katawan kong natatakpan ng puting kumot. His jaw ticking as he averted his gaze.

"Fix yourself, love. Baka hindi na naman ako makapagpigil at hindi ka na makauwi sa inyo," he said turning his back on me. I watch him walk towards his closet and open a door then stopped. His face was hidden from the dark wooden door but I could see the side of his chest sighing deeply. "Go home, North. They were probably looking for you and..." hindi ko narinig ang huling sinabi niya dahil tila bulong nalang iyon.

I felt coldness on his voice making my brows creased together. Sa ilang linggo ko siyang nakakasama, medyo nasasanay na rin ako sa biglang pagbabago ng ugali niya. He was sweet, then suddenly he will become cold like we never shared the same bed. I never questioned the shift of his emotions but it starting to piss me off. Minsan gusto kong isipin na pinaglalaruan niya lang ako. Na ginagamit niya lang ako para sa mga pansarili niyang pangangailangan. But every time he stare at me like I was his passion, all the doubts and curiosity fades away and the only thing that will stay on my mind is the fact that he loves me.

Bumaba ako sa kama at tinanggal ang kumot na nakabalot sa akin. I walked in his room without caring I was fully naked. Bakit pa? He saw everything in me. There is nothing to hide. Naglakad ako papalapit sakanya at niyakap ito sa likod, pressing my body on him. I felt him stiffened and his breathing became rugged.

"North..." he breathe.

Sinandal ko ang mukha sa matigas at hubad nitong likod. My heart beats irrationally inside my chest, I'm sure he could feel it. "You never called me by my name.." I murmured enough for him to hear.

He sighed and unclasped my arms on his chest and spun around to face me. His eyes were cold, thing that I get used to. He cupped my face and stare at me blankly.

"Not now. Please, fix yourself and go home."

Nagtagis ang bagang ko, sa kabila ng inis ko ay pinilit ko pa ring maging kalmado. I tip toe to kiss him on the lips. He remained still making me wanted to scream and cry. Palagi nalang siyang ganito. Kahit gusto ko mang magtanong ay palagi akong pinangungunahan ng takot. I'm scarred of what might be his reason, natatakot akong ipamukha niya sa akin ang isang bagay na kinakatakot kong marinig.

I nodded slowly and step back from him. "Okay..." Tumalikod na ako bago pa tumulo ang mga luha ko. I went inside the bathroom and sobbed sofly. I stepped in front of the mirror and looked at my selfish reflection.

I looked terribly pathetic. Terribly in love with someone who cannot love me back. Alam ko namang hindi ko kayang higitan si South sa puso niya. Alam ko namang hindi ko kailanman makukuha ang buong pagmamahal niya pero bakit masakit pa rin? Bakit umaasa pa rin ako? Masokista na ba ako para mag bulag-bulagan ng ganito?
