One Heartless Woman

Chapter 28

Chap. 28

*Zac Allen

I'm staring at her. I can't get my eyes off at this beautiful woman in front of me. I feel like when the moment I blink my eyes she'll be gone. Yes, difinitely I'm really in love with her. I don't know when or where it started. Maybe the first time I saw her. But one thing is for sure there was something fascinating about Lala, that's why I can't get over her. I've tried harder really, but what else can I do, she caught my heart and attentions.

She's smiling, I mean the real one. I'm happy seeing her like that. Because her true smile only shown once in a blue moon. It's been two months since I started courting her. I'm glad that she agreed with that idea. It wasn't easy at all, I even told her bestfriend Yka that Lala was so heartless. There were times that I wanted to stop pursuing her. But something change my mind.

I'm very sure to myself that I need to tell Lala what I really feel inside. It wasn't just a simple like anymore I'm in love with her.

I know it wasn't the right

time and place, she's busy with their new shop. Maybe I will rush or ruin everything. What if she thinks that I'm so fast. But what else should I do? Everytime I'm with her my heart beats in abnormal ways. I feel like I'm gonna explode in any minute.

"I love you Lala." I said. Nakita kong reaksyon niya. She bite her lower lips, she always do that when she feel something. Kinabahan ako ng hindi siya agad sumagot.

"Okay lang Lala, hindi naman kita minamadaling sagutin ako. Gusto ko lang talaga-" Malungkot kung sabi, hindi ko na halos naintindihan ang sinagot niya. Kaya tinanong ko siya ulit.

"Yes? What?" Unti- unting umaliwalas ang paligid ko. Did I hear it right. Sinasagot niya na ba talaga ako. When she said yes again. Woah, napasigaw talaga ako, hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili. Finally Lala is my girlfriend now. At naging saksi ang marami sa pagsagot niya sa'kin.

After that I can't explained my feelings. Halo-halo na, saya, excitement. I never expected myself na magmamahal ulit after my past broken relationship. Pero nangyari na nga and it's because of this one heartless woman who makes me feel this way again.

Hinatid ko siya sa kanila. I called her baby as our endearment, cause I want her to feel that I wanted to protect her, to take care for her and to love her.

Before I leave, she kissed me. Nabigla pa ako, I never expected that kissed. She closes her eyes while mine was wide open. Mababaw lang ang halik niyang 'yon.Nang tumigil siya hinawakan ko ang bewang niya. This time I'm the one who kiss her passionately and deeper. I able to open her mouth and my tounge play hers. Memories flashback that's why I stop and hold back. Ayoko namang isipin niyang kakasagot niya lang sa'kin masyado na akong mabilis at baka isipin pa niyang hindi ko siya nirerespeto, which is not true. I respect and love her with all my heart.

Nagising ako kinabukasan dahil sa ingay mula sa phone ko. It was Zac calling. I look at my vintage alarm clock at my besides table. It's only six o'clock in the morning.

Umupo ako ng maayos bago sumagot. "Hello." I answer with my bedroom voice.

"Hello, baby. Good morning did I wake you up?" Masigla niyang sagot.

"Yeah, but it's okay. Aalis din naman ako later by eight. Punta ako ng shop." Sagot kong nakangiti.

"Okay, breakfast tayo sa labas." Yaya ni Zac sa'kin.

"Sounds fine to me. Pero malalayo ka papuntang work mo." Tanong ko.

"That's fine baby. I have meetings later before lunch, followed by six. I don't know how long it takes, baka matagalan. I can't be with you." Paliwanag ni Zac.
