Walking in the Wind (Valdemora Series #2)

Chapter 6

I did my best to not be with him today. I convinced myself that it was just his plan to finally know me.

Pero sa lahat nang iyon ay hindi ko nagawang sumunod. Until I found myself walking together with him and got in his car.

He didn't forced me. He just wanted to invite me because their team won.

Nakalabas lang ako kanina, iyon na kaagad ang nangyari. Wala akong nagawa dahil na-corner na niya ako. He's been convincing me that it's just a simple celebration.

I even asked him if he'll date me. I am not concluding that it will happen because I know that it is always his plan whenever he's with a girl. Sinisigurado ko lang dahil wala akong balak na pumasok sa mga pakulo niya.

I've witnessed how girls managed to smile sweetly with him. Kabaliktaran ngayon sa kung ano ang nakapaskil sa mukha ko.

I am not even smiling. Hindi naman ako galit. Sadyang nagugulat lang dahil ang taong iniiwasan ko ay nakakasama ko na ngayon.

How ironic. Kapag iniiwasan, pinaglalapit kayo. Kapag gusto mong lumapit, nilalayo ng mundo sa'yo.

"Why don't you just call your parents to celebrate instead of me? O di kaya iyong mga naka-date mo," I suggested as he opened his door for me.

He said that he'll celebrate on his condo, with me.

Noong una syempre, kinabahan ako kasi condo iyon, eh. I imagined things. I don't know why I believed on his explanation. Kaya sinigurado kong safe nga.

I texted Chesca the name of the building he's staying in when we got there. Tinandaan ko rin kung anong pangalan ng lugar.

I also prepared Papa's number in case. I threateaned him that my father is a police officer. Mas okay na iyong safe kaysa nagpapadala ako sa matatamis niyang salita.

"Relax. Wala naman akong gagawin sa'yo. I just want to celebrate it with someone but not with my girls," I rolled my eyes as he pressed the button on the elevator.

It's on the fifteenth floor. Agad ko ring nai-text iyon kay Chesca.

"Just making my self safe. I have my weapons here in case na may gawin kang masama sa akin," I told him as I waved my hand with my phone in it.

Nang bumukas ang elevator ay kaagad itong dumiretso sa tinutuluyan niya.

Room 104.

I typed it and sent to Chesca. Binuksan niya iyon at kaagad akong pinapasok.

Ngayon ay parang gusto kong lumabas at umurong na lang dahil dalawa lang kaming nandito. Nagsisi ako kung bakit pinili kong sumama kahit na may pagdududa.

He said that he's not doing that gross thing with his girls. Hanggang second base lang daw.

And half of me believes it. Minsan ko na nga nakitang nakikipaghalikan ito pero hindi to the point na sumosobra na doon.

"If you're planning something with me, please don't do it. Celebrate lang 'di ba? Hindi naman siguro connect doon ang araw-araw mong gawain," I once again said before he ordered me to sit. Tumawa ito at nilagay ang bag sa katapat kong upuan.

"I won't rape you here. Napangako ko na sa sarili kong girlfriend ko lang ang aalayan ng katawan ko."

"Iyong mga naka-date mo ba? Hindi mo ba mga girlfriend iyon?" tanong ko. He started removing his uniform until he changed it with his comfortable clothes.

"No. Date lang pero hindi ko tinuturing na girlfriend."

I frowned because of that single explanation.
