Don't freak out, it's me! (lesbian)

Chapter 24

Mars.

I was expecting of her.

But it was Cole. He may look dazzling and handsome as ever but the fear in my heart continues to grow while he's standing in front of me.

What if biglang dumating si Mars? Hindi sya pwedeng makita ni Cole and vise versa. Should i call her? Pero baka lalong maghinala itong isa. What should i do?

"Wh—what, why are you here?" Natataranta ko na tanong kay Cole who is smiling from ear to ear. "I mean, akala ko..."

Cole grabs on my waist very possessively. "What kind of question is that?" I tried to step back but his hands are strong and dominant. "Parang hindi ka excited Nike, don't you miss me?"

No. I don't.

When i noticed he is about to kiss me ay tinulak ko sya sabay iwas ng tingin. "Bakit hindi ka nagsabi na uuwi ka na pala?"

Wala akong lakas ng loob tignan sya but i could feel his heavy stares on my face "Biglaan eh, at saka gusto na kitang makita." Sya na mismo ang umatras at pinagmasdan ako mula ulo hanggang paa. "What's wrong? May problema ba?"

Tumalikod ako para itago ang mga lihim na maaari nyang makita sa mga mata ko. "Nothing's wrong, I'm just tired sa byahe kanina."

Hindi agad kumibo si Cole as if wondering kung maniniwala ba sya sakin or hindi.

"Pero nakapagluto ka pa." This time may pagdududa na sa boses nya. "And it's for two." Lalo akong nakaramdam ng nerbyos. "Are you expecting someone Nike?"

Bigla akong napainom ng tubig para may rason ako na hindi agad sumagot. Kailangan ko din ng lakas ng loob para makapagsabi kay Cole ng totoo.

"Nike?" Pagtawag nya sakin nang hindi ako sumagot.

Kabado man ay hinarap ko sya. Knowing him, siguradong magkakaworld war III or worse pa once na malaman nya ang lahat.

His eyes squints questioningly. "May bisita ka ba?"

Tell him Nike, tell him!

Sobrang naiintimidate ako the way he looks at me. "Si, si..."

"Si?" Nakakatakot ang itsura ni Cole.

Nakakaramdam ba sya?

"Si, si Eris..." I mentally slap myself sa pagsisinungaling ko. Ayon na eh, I could have told him the truth pero mas dinadaig ako ng takot.

"Oh, your sister." Hindi parin sya convinced, he is very suspicious. "What time sya darating?"

Kunwari ay inayos ayos ko ang plato sa lamesa. "Mamaya or baka hindi na."

"Maybe i can eat with you girls?" Pagboboluntaryo ni Cole. "The more the merrier diba? Besides, i want to talk to her about her graduation gift. Kung may gusto ba sya or what."

Eris probably won't ask anything from him but break up.

"Wag na." Ako na ang tumanggi on behalf of my sister. "May gift na kami ni Papa sa kanya."

"Pero iba naman yong sa akin."

Sinulyapan ko si Cole at lakas loob ulit na magtatangkang magsabi. I need to do this.

"Ah Cole..."

Na sya namang pagkalam ng sikmura nya. "That's shameful." He laughed bago umupo. "I'm starving Nike." At nagpout pa sya. "Hindi pa ako kumakain dahil dito na kasi ako dumaretso from the airport."

Ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? Hindi ko naman sya pwedeng ipagtabuyan.

Sa totoo lang akala ko ay madali lang makipaghiwalay sa kanya, it's not that i love him pero yong takot ang mas nangingibabaw sakin.
