Amethyst: Game Start

XXVI - The Brother's Wrath

All eyes are on us. I frustratingly bit my lower lip as think of a way to escape his grasp. His hazelnut eyes were peering as it watches me; I secretly looked around and mightily kicked his guts, making the other people’s jaw dropped while he feels the pain.

As soon as his body met the ground, I jump and run away from them.

Tangina…

My heart was thumping faster than it should be. I don’t want him here. I don’t want them near me. I run away from the crowd, making me reach the back of the CAS department’s building.

Halos habulin ko ang hininga ko nang mapayuko ako sa pagod. Kasalanan talaga ‘to ng walanghiyang si Nikolaj, makakaganti rin talaga ako sa bobong iyon.

“Woi.” My heart automatically jumped upon seeing his feet in front, I am still looking down, and I can’t seem to find the will to look at him, “Look at me properly.”

“Ayoko…”

“Scarlett, look at me,” Hunter warned. Yet, I remained still looking at his shoes, “Look at me or else…”

Mabilis ko namang tinunghay ang ulo ko at muntik pang tumama iyon sa kanyang baba. Nakangisi s’ya sa akin na tila ba may balak siyang masama.

Dahan-dahan akong umatras palayo sa kanya ngunit sumusunod sa akin si gago, “Oy! H’wag kang sumunod!” Sigaw ko. Isang tawa naman ang kumawala sa kanya na tila nasisiyahan at naeenganyo siya sa nakikita niya.

“Ba’t ka ba kasi nalayo?” Painosenteng tanong n’ya. Napangiwi na lamang ako nang tumama sa pader aking likuran dahilan upang ma-corner n’ya ako.

Mayabang n’yang hinarang at pinatong ang kanyang kamay sa aking gilid habang ang isang pang-asar na ngiti ay nakakubra sa kanyang mga labi.

“Kingina, ang pangit mo…” Bulong ko.

He slowly leaned forward, making an inch gap between us. My sweat is cold, and I can’t even look directly into his alluring eyes. I tried to drift my head in another direction, yet he mischievously caresses my cheek, making me look at him.

“Uuwi ka o iuuwi kita?” Muling tanong n’ya. Diretso ko lamang tiningnan ang balikat n’ya. Ang guwapo ng balikat n’ya, mas maitsura pa kaysa sa mukha niya.

“Scarlett…” He huskily mumbled while slowly leaning forward.

I gulped and looked at his eyes, “What the hell? Are you going to kiss me?” I unknowingly asked.

“Yes…”

Hunter suddenly smirked when he saw me forcefully shutting my lips. And when his lips touch mine, the annoying tingling feeling with my stomach once again submerge. All of a sudden, he licked my lips, making my eyes widened.

“Tanginang samlang—”

Fucking hell! Hunter grabbed my chin and claimed my lips, slowly savoring and devouring every part of it like a hungry beast. He guided me to wrap my arms around his neck, and as he deepened the kiss, he was delicately asking for my response.

I slowly shut my eyes and sync in his rhythm. I hate to admit it, but I miss this—I miss him.

And when we parted, I looked down. I was about to let go of him when he suddenly stopped me.

“Scarlett…” I looked up to him and saw how intent his eyes were, “I no longer care if you are Amethyst because what’s more important is you and I… Together…”
