Trouble In Paradise

TROUBLE 6

All my life, I didn't expect that at this age, I'm still crying helplessly. Words hurt like a thousand knives. I would prefer it if I was just slapped but no, you got to hurt me with words.

Di natuloy ang escape plan ko kaya heto kaming dalawa ni Apollo. We're already sitting in one of the chairs in the round table. He turned my chair and his so we can face each other. But I don't want to look at his damn face. He was still holding both of my hands in his.

"Are you alright now?" I heard him asked. I didn't answer him. Bahala ka sa buhay mo bwisit ka.

I felt him grabbed my chin and lift my head. I glared him hard. Napakasama talaga ng ugali nito. No wonder lagi kaming magka-away.

"Oh moró, I'm sorry okay? Please stop glaring at me. You're so fucking cute." I didn't hear the last sentence because he whispered it. "Ano? What are you whispering Triple A ha?" I asked while crossing my arms and still glaring at him.

He just smiled at me. "Nothing. I said that you're so ugly when you're crying." Bwisit talaga tong Apollo nato.

"Imbecile." I told him. He just laughed at me. Nakakainis talaga siya.

"Oh, I know moró." He gave me his cheeky smile. He unexpectedly untangled my crossed arms and held both my hands in his while staring into my eyes.

"You know that I didn't mean right moró?" I can see regret and sadness in his eyes and I can't help but nod. "You're worthy yeah? You yourself can't be compared to any woman in this world." Why does it feel like it's a confession?

"Thanks?" I answered unsure. I don't even know what to say. He leaned slowly into my face. I can already feel his breathe in my face. It smells like mint.

"Moró?You're so fucking beautiful. I can't help it." Hewhispered. I closed my eyes tightly wondering what he's going to do next. Ifelt our nose touched but I snapped my eyes open quickly when I felt him kissed my forehead. He backed away slowly while gripping my hands gently. He just stared at me with an unknown emotion in his eyes. Silence fell upon us after that. I don't know what just happened but I need to get out of here now.

"Ah I wanna go home?" I voiced out unsure. He just keeps on staring at me for a minute then he suddenly stood up and released my hands.

"Okay mikró korítsi. Let's go. I'll take you home." Di na ako pumalag baka kasi bigla nanaman siyang magalit saakin. He opened the door for me and wait till I go out first. Gentleman?

We silently walked our way through the hallway. I turned my head slightly to look at him but he's just looking ahead. For a bully, he really is handsome. Damn that jawline. He looks like a prince that came out from a movie minus the ugly attitude.

"You know what mikró korítsi, I was hesitant to kiss you earlier because you looked scared. But right now, if you keep on staring at me like that, I might do something incredible." He looked my way and gave me his famous smirk. I looked straight ahead quickly. I felt myself because of what he said. Kiss? Incredible?

"S-shut up Triple A." He just chuckled and continue walking.

Once we made it to the gates of the school, he stopped his tracks and I too. I looked at him confused. He turned his face at me and said, "Wait here mikró korítsi okay? I'll be right back." I looked at skeptically. I don't trust his words. He might just leave me here and never come back.
