A Sinful Pleasure (Island Of Sin #2)

21

The irregular beating of my started again because of nervousness. I become really uncomfortable while he is looking at me; angry and mad. Matalim ang titig niya sa akin kaya napalunok ako ng ilang beses.

The cold temperature of the library didn't help dahil pinagpawisan ang aking noo. His hands hardened while resting it on the table causing his biceps to flex. I look so small because of his massive frame infront of me. Para siyang galit na leon habang ako isang kawawang kuneho.

Nakayuko siya para man lang mapantayan ang aking mata.

"Ano ang p-pag-uusapan natin? Is there a p-problem?" my voice croaked and gulped after.

Kumuyom ang kaniyang panga. Mas bumaba ang tingin sa aking mga mata.

"There's no problem but you made one," mariin ang pagkakasambit tila nagpipigil ng galit.

Watching him this angry made my heart clench.

But of course, I will not admit what I did. I don't care I will be branded as a liar. I just don't care at all. Ang nararamdaman ko lang ngayon ay sakit sa aking dibdib. I miss Daddy and Raven hurt me by courting Sunny. Tapos ngayon ay galit pa siya sa akin.

I gulped, trying to compose myself and showing him that I don't get what he said.

"I can't understand you. What are you talking abou-"

"Fuck, April. Stop acting that you didn't do anything wrong!" his voice volume.

Nagulat ako dahil sa galit niyang boses. It thundered in the whole library. Parang kulog sa sobrang lakas kaya napaigtad ako sa aking kina-uupuan.

Naging marahas bigla ang kaniyang paghinga at nagpang-abot ang kilay. Kumalabog ang dibdib ko sa sobrang kaba.

"Why are shouting at me?!" sagot ko ng nakabawi.

Nakayukom ang kamao niya sa lamesa at galit akong tinitigan ulit.

"Don't lie to me, April. You're the one who ruin Sunny's proposal, right?!"

I can see the rage on his eyes. Nakakapaso iyon na tila ba sisilaban ako kapag nagsinungaling ako sa kaniya. But I will not tell him the truth! And why did he concluded that I am the one who made it?

He caught me smirking then he go out. Pagkabalik niya ay ganito na. Kaya itatanggi ko.

"I don't what you're talking about," inirapan ko siya kahit na sobrang kaba ko na.

His jawline hardened more. It move repeatedly like he's losing his control.

"There's point of lying. Why can't you just admit it?"

Pinanliliksikan ko rin siya ng mata. The after admitting? What? So, no!

"Can you just admi-"

"Oo ako! Ano naman ngayon?!" galit kong sigaw sa kaniya.

Tumayo ako at galit din siyang tinignan. Nadala narin ako dahil nasaktan ako dahil pinagtaasan niya ako ng boses. Ilang beses na siyang nagalit sa akin ngunit kahit kailan ay hindi niya ako pinagtaasan ng boses.

I can't even think rationally. I thought that I'm going to lie to him. Siguro ay dahil sa galit kaya nasabi ko 'yon. Galit ako sa kaniya.

He lick his lower lip like he can't believe the way I act. "Do you know what you just did?"

Mariin ang boses at kaniyang titig at tsaka lumapit sa akin.

"Oo! I ruin her proposal by pouring the water on it!"

"Fuck! Do you know how important is that?!" tinuro niya ang folder sa malayo habang nakatingin sa akin.

"The fuck I care with that proposal!""
