Chasing Climax (Under Revision)

CHAPTER FOUR

Sweating bullets, I gulped and take another deep breath, trying to pull a physical strength to support my shaking knee.

I don't know how to face him. I was ashamed of myself. Not to mention... I kissed him back last night. I can't face him like this anymore!

"What a damned task. What the hell did I just enter?" I hissed while leading the way through Clyden's room at the corner of this long hallway.

I'm afraid that Celestine is also here, waiting for me. It'll be a shame for me to face her after I act nicely the last time we met in the restaurant.

I have no one to ask if she's here because those jerks left me. Gustuhin ko man magtanong sakanila kanina ay basta nalang nila ako iniwan nang maihatid nila ako sa pangalawang palapag ng bahay, at doon sila dali-daling nagsitakbuhan para iwan ako na animo'y mga batang nagsisiunahan makababa ng hagdan.

But now that they're not around, I can easily runaway without their notice. Tho, I was afraid that it may worsen my situation.

If I talked to him right now, things can be fixed. But if I runaway, he might file a case agaisnt me. I hate the idea.

This is bad. I have no choice but go with the flow, running away is not a choice.

In spite of that I can't help but to tremble in fear. I'd never felt so scared like this before. Is he that intimidating to terrify me like this?

Clyden warns me last night but I didn't listen. See? It's clearly all my fault, I better face the consequence of my action.

All I need is to explain my side and as for forgiveness. After that, it'll be up to him if he take it, or leave it.

I take a deep breathe when I stop infront of his room, I remain stilled, trying to make a script inside my head.

"I would sin​cere​ly ask for apology this time. Please do understand that it was part of my job— " I stop when realization hits me. This is so formal, not typically me.

I massage my temple for a moment before another idea comes up in my mind. What if... "Tell me what I need to do, i'll do my best to pay. Just don't sue me, I'm begging!" I said while kneeling at the ground with my eyes closed, acting like I was asking for forgiveness to someone when in fact that I was just facing the door.

I went frozen when I heard a sound of door knob. I was too late to move when the door opens as Clyden and I's gaze met. I gulped.

"What are you doing? You're acting stupid." He said that almost made my jaw drop. I immediatelty stood up and bow my head.

I look away from embarrassment. D-Did he just say "I look stupid"?? How dare him.

I flash a force smile even after being called stupid by this jerk infront of me. I remain cool but deep down, I badly want to slam his head at the door.

I secretly gripped my palm. He's getting on my nerves.

Ano bang mali sa araw na 'to at puro kahihiyan ang nangyayari sa buhay ko? Kanina lang ay kahit ano-anong pang mamanipula ang ginawa ko sa mga gwardyang iyon nang wala man lang ideya na may connection silang lahat kay Clyden.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" He asked with an arched eyebrow, confusion was written all over his face that made me blank for a moment.

What does this mean? "Didn't you look for me?" I asked with a brow furrowed.

"Oh, yeah?" He said in confuse like as if he forgotten but then, his expression brighten a little.

Clyden gesture me to come in. "Get inside then," he opened the door widely but I remain stilled, scanning the surroundings.
