Uncontrollable Obsession

Kapitulo 16

Necklace

Lumunok ako at nag-iwas sa kaniya ng tingin. Parang napaka-imposible nang sinabi niya. Mahirap paniwalaan. And I thought that maybe this was just a part of his teasing. I know him better so even though I was a bit taken aback by what he said. I just shook and asked him to go to the one reserved for us.

I was surprised that not even a single person came to us. Maybe he always stays here so no one approached to us to assist. That's explained well. Halos lahat ng mga naliligo sa pool ay binabati siya at tinatawag pa ang pangalan. He is known here, si Zekeil kaya? Is he also known? I'm sure he is.

I remained silent the whole time even though he's talking a lot about the resort. He said that the owner is very strict that's why we should not leave trash anywhere. I know about that cuz there is probably no resort that is not strict when it comes to such things. Every resort has such a protocol like that. Pinabayaan ko siyang nagsasalita parin kahit nakarating na kami at tinungo niya ang lounger.

I put my bag on the plastic table while he put his on the lounger he was sitting on. I diverted my sight at the pool. Malamig ang panahon sa araw na'to kaya nagdadalawang-isip ako kung maliligo ba o manonood na lamang sa kaniya. I couldn't think of anything else to do besides just sit here and watch.

Hindi ko kayang maligo ng ganito. I looked myself and noticed that even though I hadn't been wet with water, I was shivering from the cold. Tiningnan ko rin ang palad kong namumutla. I rubbed it to get warm. What more if I was submerged under water.

"Heto ang sandwich kainin mo. Maliligo na ako."

When I looked back at him, his clothes were already taken off his body. Only Trunks was left. Ginulo niya muna ang buhok bago sinuot ang antipara. He stood up and looked at the pool area, soon he got into position and prepared to dive.

When I turned away from him, I heard the splash of water.

I took the sandwich he put next to my bag. Suddenly what he said a while ago came to my mind. Did Zekeil make this sandwich too? That's why he gave it to me now so that I could eat something and that he just pretended that this food came from him. Para saan?

Nagulo ang isipan ko dahil doon. Binubuyo nila ako sa taong kasado na. Nagpapatawa ba sila. Tingin talaga nila madali lang akong bibigay. Kung akala nila papatulan ko si Zekeil kahit pa may sabit ito, nagkamali sila. Ayaw kong makasira.

But I remembered the nights I spent with Zekeil. The nights passed normally but I gave meaning to it. It can't be. Patibong ba itong ginagawa nila? Like I said before, I'm too expressive with my feelings. I don't know how to hide. Did they noticed something in me and perhaps a reason why they planned trapping me.

I collected the ideas I had. If so, then binabantayan nila ako kung kakagat ba sa larong ginawa nila. I don't know that they play like this. That... I was their... bet.

I've been too busy in the past few days, and have to focus my full attention sa mga hayop that's why I've been going back and forth to the stable. I've even spent my night there for once. Valthazar was the one who always drives me to mansion from the stable every time I spend the night in there. And Trieven got always sees me coming home together with Zekeil. Ewan ko rin kasi sa lalaking iyon at palagi kaming nagkakasabay umuwi.

Iyon kaya ang binigyan nila ng kahulugan? Ang mga nakikita nilang sabay kaming umuuwi. Ngayon naglalaro sila sa amin. Pinagdududahan yata kaming dalawa ni Zekeil. Though I have a feelings for him but I've been holding it. 'Di ko naman hinahayaan ang sariling malunod nito kaya nga umiiwas ako sa kaniya. Pinilit ko rin ang sariling maging malamig kahit pa sobrang hirap para sa akin.

I took the backpack and put the sandwich back on the plastic table. I turned around and looked for a lounger to use. There is a hotel but maybe only the pool was paid for. I stopped at the fourth and put down the bag there. I glanced at the lounger occupied by Trieven. I sighed when I saw that my chosen one was far away from him. It's better for this distance.
