"Yeah, I'm not going anywhere unless we talk." He bit his reddish lower lip before lowering his gaze to mine.
"We will talk after my flu is gone, Jordan. Come on, just go home. I'm tired." I sighed heavily and problematically while looking at him.
I tried to look at his back, baka mamaya ay biglang sumulpot si Xanley.
I wonder if my cousins already called mommy and daddy about this. Kung oo ay wala akong dapat ipag-alala dahil alam ko na hindi agad papasok sila mommy dito sa loob ng bahay.
"Kuya! Can't you get Jordan out of my room?!" Sigaw ko sa aking kapatid na alam kong nasa labas lamang ng kwarto.
Sumungaw ang ulo ni Kuya Scott mula sa labas ng aking pinto.
"Talk to Jordan first. That asshole won't stop unless you talk to him." He cleared his throat before closing the door.
"Kuya! Don't close the door!" Sigaw ko bago pa man niya tuluyang ma-lock ang pinto.
Nakahinga ako ng malalim nang nakitang naka-awang na lamang ang aking pinto.
"Why are you so eager to make me go home Reign? I told you that we'll talk right now." Malaki ang boses at seryosong ani ni Jordan.
"I told you, we'll talk once my flu is gone." Inirapan ko siya.
"I don't think you'll talk to me, Reign." Umiling siya at inilagay ang kamay sa kaniyang bewang.
I sighed heavily. Tumalikod ako sa kaniya at humakbang papalayo, papunta sa bintana ng aking kwarto.
"What's wrong Reign? Why won't you fucking talk to me?" Narinig ko ang malambot at parang nagmamakaawang boses ni Jordan.
Biglang parang nalusaw ang galit na nararamdaman ko noong mga nakaraang araw. Parang anumang oras ay bibigay ang aking tuhod.
Ilang minutong nanatili ang katahimikan sa aming paligid.
I refused to answer his question.
Para akong napapaso mula sa tingin niya sa aking likod. Mabuti na lamang at ako ay nakatalikod sa kaniya dahil ayokong makita niya ang sakit na nararamdaman ko.
"I-I don't think what's going on between us will work." I bit my lips while crossing my arms.
How can we work if he is neglecting me and dating another woman? Does he think that I will just stand idly while he do me wrong?
How can I fully give him my trust if his actions continuously gives me doubt? Or is it just me? Did I judge his actions because of a picture?
"W-what do you mean? W-we were doing good R-reign. We will work." I heard his voice broke a little.
I heard his shoes making a sound. Nararamdaman ki na naglalakad siya papalapit sa akin.
"Face me, Reign." Napaigtad ako ng maramdaman ko ang init ng kaniyang kamay sa aking balikat.
Wala akong lakas upang harapan siya. I felt him pulled me closer before moving my body to face him properly.
Nag-iwas ako ng tingin sa kaniyanv mata.
"We were doing good for the past month Reign. H-how can you say that? We can m-make this work. Just like before, right?" I felt his hands on my chin. Marahan ang hawak niya doon.
"A-are you in-love with another man?" His eyes were brimming with tears.
How can I be in-love with another man if I cant move on from what we had before?
"No, Jordan. I-It just don't feel right."
Biglang nagbago ang aking isip, hindi ko magawang maitanong sa kaniya kung bakit madalas siyang nakikitang kasama 'yung babae sa restaurant.
