Cascading Waters

Chapter XXX

Despite us getting closer, I was also trying my best to avoid him... no matter how puny my attempts were. That was how most of my days went. He keeps on teasing me.. probably understanding how he's affecting me. 

Sa halos isang linggo niyang panunukso sa akin ay narindi ako. Ang feeling! Akala niya kasi uhaw na uhaw ako sa katawan niya!

I chuckled. "It seems like you're the one who can't move on. Get over yourself. Your body doesn't affect me the way you think it does--"

Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay at sa isang mabilis na galaw ay humakbang siya papalapit sa akin kaya naman ay mabilis rin akong napaatras. We're in the hallway just outside out rooms. Nagkasalubong kasi kami at nanibago ako sa suot niyang sando kaya napatingin ako sa katawan niya.

He's wearing a white muscle tee with the low arm holes kaya kitang kita ang katawan niya. I feel like he's about to go swimming. Naabutan niya akong nakatingin kaya naman ay tinukso nanaman ako. 

Tumama ang likod ko sa pinto ng kwarto niya. He placed his right hand just a few inches above my head and his left hand pulled my wrist towards his body. I was shocked by the sudden movement alone ngunit parang nakuryente ako when he guided my fingers toward his strong abdomen.

"Axel!" Pagpupumiglas ko. 

Hawak niya pa rin ang kamay ko ngayon. Dahil malakas siya ay hindi ko mabawi ang kamay ko. He guided it in an up and down motion just enough for me to realize how shredded and well-built it was. This crazy lunatic!

"I thought you said you're not affected?" he whispered softly in my ears. Nakaramdam ako ng kiliti doon ngunit binalewala ko. I'm too busy removing my hand off his hold to focus on that erotic voice he just used.

His abdomen is brawny, alright. I give him that but making another girl aside from his girlfriend touch it just to prove a point is stupid and not right!

"Ano ba!" reklamo ko. Naiirita na dahil sa inaasta niya. 

He really doesn't remember his girl when he's flirting, does he? Kung sa bagay, he wouldn't flirt with anyone if he's thinking faithfully about his girl.

He chuckled before letting my hand go ngunit nanatili ang posisyon namin. I can feel his breathing near my collar bones.

"Sorry," he uttered. 

I knew how insincere that was when I heard him chuckle a bit after saying that. This asshole!

Mas nainis ako. Hindi lang dahil gago siya kung hindi ay dahil na rin parang nadadala ako nito. I've trained myself to act like a woman who's mature and highly respected. One touch from Axel and i'm already acting like a teenager desperate for this man!

And here I though getting my shit together is easy! Well, it would have if we're not in the same house and this brute is not a big flirt since birth! Hindi naman ako pwedeng bumalik sa bahay dahil sa nangyari. Damn it!

Iritado ako at naiiyak na sa inis ngunit pinigilan ko iyon dahil una sa lahat, he doesn't deserve my tears... again! At pangalawa, i'm a grown woman and i'm not the same crybaby I was years ago!

"Stop it. You're making it... complicated," I whispered firmly dahil sobrang lapit ng tenga niya sa labi ko. 

Naramdaman kong apektado siya roon dahil tumigil siya sa paghalakhak. He moved a bit at mas lalong lumapit sa leeg ko ang ilong niya.

"What makes it complicated?" he asked.

Is cheating really this easy for him? Well, not that i'm considering that an option but if I was another girl too thirsty for him that I don't mind being a mistress then I think may relasyon na kami ngayon and he would think of it simply.
