The song for this chapter is:
"Lie" by Halsey

__________

This is foolish. This is non sense. This is useless. Still I don't want to fail at this, I gave my efforts and time to be perfectly fit at this. This can't go onto waste, this should be worth it.

I know myself better than this, I'm not vulnerable. But when he's owning and caging me, my whole and frozen heart is begging for him, to do more for me. To own me more. To cage me more. 

Crazy right?

Maybe I have no idea what these feelings are, but I am sure. It's only Paris who can make me feel this way. 

We're now in the rooftop of Kaleidescope Towers, with the full moon, and beaming stars. As our light and the warmth of his chest behind me. 

"I'm sorry Tasha..." he apologized.

Kanina niya pa sinasabi yan,  simula ng umalis kami sa University. I asked him if we can go somewhere, 'cause I feel suffocated in the University. Hindi ko maisip na makakapag usap kami ng maayos doon dahil sa daming ginagawa.

Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap niya sa akin mula sa likod at hinilig ang aking magkabilang braso sa railings. Nakatingin ako sa kawalan bago sinabing. 

"Apologize accepted, but atleast tell me who you really are." 

Mabagal akong humarap sa kanya at sumandal sa railings, bago humalukipkip. 

I saw the hesitation on his face, his mouth is half opened. It's like he wants to say something but he couldn't say it. 

"I trust you Paris. Do you trust me with your secrets too?" I asked him and tilted my head. 

Yumuko siya sa gilid niya at nakita ko ang pagkuyom ng panga niya. Pumikit siya ng mariin at nang dumilat ay nagtama ang tingin namin.

"May tiwala ako sayo Tasha. And what you're asking me to tell you is too hard. Ayokong mapahamak ka," mariin niyang sagot.

How too hard it is for you Paris? Kung alam mo lang! Hinding hindi ako mapapahamak. Ofcourse I can't tell him that. You're just protecting yourself and your assassin clan! 

"Paano ako ipapahamak ng sasabihin mo? Don't tell me may nakatutok na sniper sa akin ngayon?" tanong ko na puno ng sarkastikmo.

Matalim ang tingin na pinukol niya akin. Nanatiling malambot ang tingin ko sa kanya, 'cause I want to know. I am eager! 

"Why do you need to more huh? Bakit hindi mo maintindihan na delikado ito?" iritado niyang tanong. 

Namilog ang mata ko at napalunok sa pagiging iritable niya. What the... I'm just asking. Anong problema kung gusto kong malaman? 

"So you won't tell me?" 

Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa akin at kumuyom ulit ang panga. Ramdam ko ang namumuong poot at galit sa dibdib ko. Pumikit ako ng mariin, para kalmahin ang sarili.

Dumilat ako at nakitang wala talaga siyang plano na magsalita. Tumingin ulit siya sa akin, pero nanatiling nakatikom ang bibig niya.

Kasabay ng panlalamig ng aking katawan, mula sa hangin ang paglamig ng tingin ko sa kanya.

Kinalas ko ang pagkrus ng mga kamay ko sa dibdib at naglakad ng kaunti papunta sa kanya.

"Fine too. That's it. I'm leaving now," I said not hiding the glint of anger in my voice.
