I paid a virgin

Chapter Thirty Nine

Wrong Approach

We stood there facing each other, my eyes shooting deathly glares in his direction while he stood there wearing a victorious smile on that handsome face of his, my resolve from being mean to him slightly faltered when I realize I was once again face to face with him. The bathroom encounter already confused the hell out of me, I think another entrapment like that would make me give in against his aggressive persistence. He won't give up and I sure can't feel he will ever be. Whatever he's talking about what happened four years ago somehow wouldn't let him just give up like that. And what on earth happened that past years? His words these days made me confuse and curious. In addition with that, his bipolar attitude was giving me a headache. One minute his gone flirting with some bimbos then push them away as soon as he saw me. He followed me with his eyes and in some cases follows me wherever I go. I caught him once looking where I turned then proceed being a creepy stalker. I don't know if I am flattered with his action, appease somehow that he still chose me among the rest, but everything he does still keeps me in heightened alert. Like I said he had bipolar attitude, and him being an IED would definitely cause trouble.

Now, as our gym teacher barked orders to copy the dance leaders in the stage, Trench moved closer than possible in front of me and his hand took my left hand while his right encircled my waist. I shivered from the contact, a reaction he's the only can produce out from me.

"You know preventing yourself coming back to me won't do any good to you, Sum. I have the upper hand and I will win," he murmured.

"It's not a competition, and if I were you drop your persistence...learn how to let go" I hissed at him while we move like the rest of the class.

"I'm stubborn enough...to let go my persistence Summer. I will take what's mine back and that's you. Don't attempt to replace me Sum, I might show you what can I do more besides helping the new store...beside the mall..." he whispered beside my ear. He twirled me lightly and stopped me with his leg and tilts me backward.

"You already help them, remember?" I gritted my teeth once I remember what had he done. He can't be satisfied hurting me, now he goes for my family. These reasons were like a congratulatory boost to me for not forgiving and taking him back. His ways were too hurtful and forceful. It's very aggressive and it keeps me staying away from him.

He smiled smugly. "Hmmm... but I am not done yet...you know this upcoming game will be like feast for the whole team right? Sponsors are going to do a final pick for the one week pre-summer camp for college teams. A guarantee college applications are going to be given in that game...you might want to convince me not to take...you know...Charles position. I'll assure you I will play my very best to put the spotlight on me...not Charles...but solely me..." he threatened in that very kind with a tinge of seriousness tone.

A look of concern wash over me the entire time we spent in the gym dancing and listening to the dance leaders in the stage while the teachers watch our practice. I didn't even heard the teacher dismissing us to take our shower. My friends came to me, asking why suddenly I look like I just have a nasty constipation (Hanley's word not mine) while we walk away from the gym. But my attention was on Trench words.

Charles.....

It concerns my brother....

So that's why Trench was attending practice for the past days; he wanted to put up a show to sway the sponsor's decision in giving scholarship to the guys in our basketball team. He's too strategic and I will be just force to cave in....

I took the shower slowly, my mind traveling to the possibilities of ending my problems. Of course not what you think of sleeping forever, but I was thinking of getting back with Trench. I still have feelings for the guy and to be honest I don't think I can replace him. He did make a very powerful impact in my life. Now, the only thing stopping me from hunting him was my dad's and Charles's reaction. Dad will surely have his heart attack if I'll go back with Trench. Charles would definitely hate me forever even if I tell him the reason that I forgave the guy who hurt me so much just for his scholarship to be intact and our cupcake shop blooming again.
