The Possessive Ice King (Dropped)

Chapter 19 TPIK

Celestine's POV

I don't understand a thing of what's going on, what's gotten into him. I am so confused yet when I ask him I get no answer at all.

Kasalukuyang nakahiga ako sa kama at alam kung madaling araw na. After he teased me a while back umalis ito at hindi na bumalik sa silid nya. As always hindi ako makatulog at dahil na din siguro nakatulog ako ng at least dalawang oras kanina dahil sa pagod at kakaiyak.

Tumayo ako at tumungo sa pinto. I don't know if it is lock since I did not dare to open it earlier. I'm sure tulog na si Akira, di ko alam kung saan sya natulog but I don't give a damn kung asan sya. I have to leave and go home. I'm not comfortable of being here.

Maingat na pinihit ko ang pinto and luckily bukas ito. Kinakabahan kong binuksan ito ng dahan dahan at lumabas ng silid. Ang lapad ng hallway. May iilang pinto sa daan and I'm not sure which way to turn.

I tiptoed while looking for an exit. Habang naglalakad ako ay napansin ko ang iilang paintings na malalaki at nakasabit sa wall. Most of it are inspired from 16th to 17th century. I am well aware of their painters, I knew a few from renaissance period since it was been taught in school.

May mga mamahaling figurines and vases na naka display sa gilid, tantya ko puro antiques din ang mga ito base sa desinyo. I can't believe that he is into this.

Diri-diretso lang ako habang maingat na naglalakad at the same time namamangha sa mga nakikitang kagamitan sa pamamahay na ito.

"Enjoying the view?" Napatalon ako sa gulat ng magsalita si Akira sa likuran ko. I never noticed him, neither heard his footsteps.

"I-I.....I-I was just strolling around." At this hour? Napaatras ako ng lumapit ito sa akin hanggang sa naramdaman ko nalang ang malamig na wall sa likuran ko.

"I know that you are trying to escape at this hour. However, this house is like a maze. You can't easily leave like that unless you're familiar with the place." I figured that out maraming hallways at pinto ang nandito kaya mawawala at mawawala ka talaga kung hindi ka pamilyar.

"Akira please. Don't be like this. I still have lots of works to do. K-kung gusto mo p-pumunta ka nalang sa bahay. Y-you don't have to keep me here." I mean at least doon kahit papano mapapanatag ako.

"Fine, in one condition." Ngumiti ito ng nakakaloko. I don't feel good about this one.

"W-What is it?"

"Kiss me." Muntik na akong mahulog kahit nakatayo ako sa gulat. He stole my first and second kiss now he is asking for the third one?

"You don't want to? Then fine. You'll stay here as much as I want you to stay." Tatalikod na sana ito ng bigla ko syang hinigit tyaka mabilis na hinalikan.

?? What's gotten into me? My body just moved on its own.

Namumulang napahiwalay ako sa kanya at sya naman ay may nakakalokong ngiti. Pinulupot nito ang braso nya sa bewang ko.

"Don't you thinks that was a little bit fast?" He teased. Feeling ko uminit pati tenga ko. So he wants something longer than that? I looked away shamefully.

"You already stole my first, second and third kiss, isn't that enough?" Pagrereklamo ko. Umiling ito at hinigit ako papalapit pa sa kanya kaya dikit na dikit kaming dalawa sa isat isa.

"Aren't you lucky?" He smirked. Lucky? Should I really consider myself lucky? Really? I wanna roll my eyes in front of him but I figure out na maiinis ito, therefore I never dare.

"Hurry Celestine. I'm waiting." Napalunok akong bigla ng yumuko ito para magkalevel kami sabay pikit ng mga mata nya waiting for me to move.
