Only You (FLS#2)(ON-GOING)

8th

"I'm changing my mind." he said coldly.

But no matter how cold he seemed to be tonight, my heart is filled with warmth I can't even name.

What is it?

Is it his hold? Or maybe our distance? We're too close. Whatever it is, I love this feeling.

Hinatak niya ako palayo and I am very willing to go with him. No need to pull me. I'll come with you.

And of course, someone must interrupt things. Always.

Uranus grabbed my other hand, halting our steps, stopping Chasty's intention of pulling me.

I looked at him sharply. Not now Uranus, please.

He sighed and realeases his hold.

"Five minutes." he said.

Chasty nodded. Hinila niya ako pababa sa hagdan carelessly. He's too fast. And I'm struggling but it's fine. As long as he's holding my hand.

We went to the parking lot. Why here, though?

Madilim. At walang ibang tao. Iilang ilaw lang ang kita galing sa kinalalagyan namin. At normal circumstance, I would be frightened but I'm not afraid right now. Not even a bit.

I sighed and decided to talk first.

"Chasty." I called him out.

Binatawan niya ang palapulsuhan ko at hinarap ako.

"You should go home."

"Sabi mo palalagpasin mo ang gabing ito."

"No. I changed my mind. You should go home."

"No. I won't."

He sighed frustratingly. His face darkened and his lips pursed in a grim line.

"So stubborn."

I want to say that I'll obey to every thing he will say if he will start appreaciating me. Or atleast treat me like how he treat other people. Yung hindi siya laging mukhang galit at naiirita kapag ako ang kaharap niya.

I will do everything Chasty, just give me a chance. Give my feelings a chance.

I want to say at least that much but nervousness got me again.

It feels wrong to answer when he looks dark. Darker.

I suddenly felt bad for being stubborn.

Yumuko ako at naghintay sa susunod niyang sasabihin.

"Do you want to be here?" he asked.

"Yes..." it was a soft answer without raising my head, afraid to see his dark eyes.

"Why?"

"It's my cousin's party. She invited us. She wanted us to be here. So I want to be here for her." that's the truth but it felt wrong talking that much.

"Wait here."

I saw his feet moved. Tumalikod siya sa akin. And that was the only time I had the courage to look at him.

He left me here and I don't know where he went.

Ngunit wala pang isang minuto ay nakabalik na ito na may dalang itim na jacket.

"Uh... I'm already wearing a jacket." I pointed out.

"Yeah, whatever." he said and handed me the jacket.

Should I get it? Or wait until he-

Dapat pala kinuha ko na lang.

Because I can't take it. Him. This close to me. While we're facing each other. Kung yuyuko siya ay mahahalikan ko na. We are this close. And my heart can't really take it.

Pakiramdam ko ay lalabas ang puso sa sobrang pagpintig nito. Rinig na rinig. Damang-dama. And I'm afraid he heard it.

He hanged his jacket on my shoulders and patted my head.

"Be a good girl, please." he said softly. I should've brought a recorder. I could listen to his soft voice every night before I sleep.

Pakiramdam ko ay isa akong pusa na may ginawang maganda at nabigyan ng gantimpala ng kaniyang amo.

His touch and his voice. It's fulfilling.

And all I could do is adore him. All over again.

I will be a very good girl for you Chasty. I promise.

I smiled at my thought. Silly.

"Come, let's head back inside." he talkes softly again.

I blushed profusely.

Maybe luck still likes me. Maybe it is still on my side at some point.

And for the second time just for tonight... it was an 'or so I thought'.
