The dark sky is torn due to strong lightnings, plus the loud roar of the storm makes me jump and terrified.
Looks like this storm will last for some days. I somehow feel like its giving me a warning that something bad will happen.
"Adam are you inside?"
Napangisi ako sa aking boses na narinig. Like what I expected, pupunta siya dito.
When I open the door, a sharp glare meet mine like I've done something bad. His dark aura gives me shivers.
Bakit ba siya galit?
"Ba't ang tagal mo buksan ang pinto?"
Di ko mapigilang mapangiti dahil sa kanyang inaasal. Para siyang bata na sinusumpong.
If only I can pinch his face right now. I wonder how soft it is.
Baka mamula iyon sa sobra kong gigil.
I feel the room rumbles because of the noise with a flash of light. The loud roar and scary thunder strike once again.
"What the heck Lance! Ang laki laki mo na takot ka pa rin sa kulog at nagtatago ka pa rin sa kumot? Ano ka ba? Baby damulag?" Tumawa ako sa aking sinabi.
Ang akala ko ay gagaan ang pakiramdam niya ngunit mali ako. It was a bad joke. Nagalit siya at sinipa ako sa tagiliran bilang ganti.
"Ahh! You are kicking me out huh! Okay, doon na lang ako kanila mama matutulog."
I hustle to stand but his sudden grab to my cloth stopped me to what I'm gonna do.
"No. Don't leave. Stay."
By his soft tone and sincerity,
my heart skip a beat. My chest congest like I've run a thousand miles. I blink twice before I pull off his hands on my shirt.
"O-okay..I just close the window from veranda. The water rain is entering."
Ano ba ang nangyayari sa akin?
I really feel something weird whenever I'm with him.
My skin is crawling whenever I hear his voice. There's something in his eyes that can make my stomach roar.
Kapag dumidikit o tumatawa siya ay parang hinahabol ang puso ko sa sobrang bilis ng pagtibok.
Nalilito ako sa mga nangyayari sa akin. Why am I acting like this!?
Mahimbing nang natutulog ngayon si Lance dahil sa takot.
I don't know why I can't help but to stare at him.
I touch his lips and cheeks unknowingly. My mind says not to do it but my hand can't contain from doing it. It's like I've been enchanted by his charm and innocence.
Inalog ko ang ulo ko mula sa pagkahumaling kay Lance.
No! I should not be like this.
Mali kung ano man itong nararamdaman ko.
Lance is a man, and I am too.
Hindi pwedeng magkagusto ako sa kanya. Isa pa, magkaibigan kami, hindi pwede na lumagpas doon ang samahan namin.
