War of Hearts

Girlfriend

Iginala niya ang kaniyang kamay sa aking likod. He started drawing circles on my back, tickling my senses. A hollow feathery feeling enveloped my stomach as his nose and lips travel from my cheeks to my neck. I tilted it a bit so he can gain access.

Mariin akong pumikit bago umiling sa tinanong niya. He let out a chuckle as he continued what he's doing.

His light shallow kisses were soft and ticklish. I let out a moan when he sucked my soft spot.

I covered my mouth with my hands to stop me from creating such noise. Damn it! I can't stop myself.

"You like that hmm?"

I suddenly felt empty when he stopped from kissing. I opened my eyes to see why he paused. He lifted his head so our eyes could meet. Ang kaniyang mata'y naninimbang sa aking reaksyon. He's really serious huh?

"Why is my baby acting so cold towards me? Is there something wrong?" worry and amusement is etched on his face.

Umawang ang labi ko ng matanto kung ano ang ginawa niya sa akin! Damn it Mare! Ang bilis mo namang mahulog sa kaniya! Dapat cold tayo!

His touches are like fire to my soul. He can easily ignite my system that nobody can ever do. Ito ang epekto niya sa akin.

Kumunot ang noo ko ng maalala kung bakit ako ganito sa kaniya.

"I thought you're going to teach Keith pero bakit nakikipaglandian ka? Pwede naman mag-aral ng walang landian." I tried to avoid the bitterness in my tone but I guess I can't help it anymore.

"I am not flirting with your sister." He leaned his face again and chuckled. I felt his laugh vibrated.

"Are you jealous?"

Kung kanina'y halos magkasalubong na ang aking kilay, ngayon ay magkadikit na sila sa sobrang inis at takot. Fuck! Why can he see through whatever I'm feeling?!

Unti-unti kong binawi ang pagkakakunot ng aking noo. I bit my lower lip and looked away. Lumayo rin ako ng kaunti, hiyang-hiya sa sitwasyon namin. Huwag mong ipakita na mahina ka Mare. Don't easily give up! Akala ko ba hindi ka marupok?!

"Doon ka na sa kapatid ko. Tutal gusto ka naman niya."

His thumb captured my chin and tilted my head so he can face me. Pagbaling ko sa kaniya, I gave him a cold expression. Tinanggal ko ang kaniyang kamay na nakahawak sa aking baba at umusod palayo. That's it Mare.

Totoo. Naiinggit ako. Naiinggit ako sa mga taong kaya siyang abutin. Kaya siyang pangarapin kasi ako, ni isang porsyento wala.

"No. Your sister doesn't like me."

"Oh. How can you justify that when in fact you haven't heard of her side yet?" Bumaling ako sa gawi niya at nagtaas ng isang kilay.

"Are you manhid? Can't you see her reaction every time your skin touches hers?"

Nakita ko ang mariin niyang pikit. Malutong siyang nagmura bago tumitig muli sa akin.

"I used her."

"What?!" I glared at him. 

Is he being serious right now? Mas lalo lang akong lumayo sa kaniya.

"Paanong ginamit?"

Marahas siyang suminghap bago tumitig sa akin. 

"I was the one who offered her help so I can see you." Sincerity laced in his tone.

"Alam mo ba ugali n'on? Aasa lang 'yon lalo na't may gusto siya sa'yo."

"Wala siyang gusto sa akin, okay? I also cleared everything to her that I am not interested in playing her game."
