CHAPTER 43
PROMISES
Sab's POV
There was too much tension between Russell and Simeon. Kung magtitigan sila ay tila ba magsusuntukan kaagad sila sa oras na tumalikod ako. Hindi tuloy ako makagalaw dahil natatakot akong baka magkagulo malingat lang ako.
Shet Sab, haba ng hair! Pinagaagawan ng two guys! Hahaha!
"Hubby?" natatawang tanong ni Simeon kay Russell. "What are you, twelve?"
Sumimangot ako at inirapan siya. "I'm the one who made the choice to address him that way! May problema ka ba do'n?"
Dapat umaawat ako sa pagtatalo nila pero nakakapikon kasi ang sinabi niya!
"Oo Sab, meron. Kasi ako dapat ang tinatawag mong hubby. Hindi itong lalakeng ito. I'm your fiance!"
Russell's grip on my hand tightened. Halatang napipikon na siya kaya naman huminga ako ng malalim at kinalma ang sarili ko. Hindi pwedeng dalawa kaming bwiset dito kay Simeon. We're still inside Brooklyn High's property. I can't allow a fight to happen. Baka ma-suspend pa kami ni hubby ng 'di oras.
"Simeon, I really appreciate that you're helping my father but you shouldn't have come here. You know where I stand from the start. Hindi kita mahal kaya hindi tayo pwedeng magpakasal. I'm sorry. And for the record, you're not my fiance. Hindi tayo engaged. My father was the only one who wants you for me."
It's obvious that he got hurt by my words. He flinched and frowned deeply at me. Ayoko rin namang maging harsh pero kailangan niyang marinig ang mga iyon upang malaman niyang hindi magbabago ang isipan ko.
"Why do you always have to give your father a headache? Tito only wants the best for you, and that includes marrying me, Sab. Alam mong ako ang nararapat para sa'yo."
Tumawa bigla si Russell kaya parehas kaming napatingin sa kanya.
Oh, this is bad. He doesn't laugh loudly when we're with others. Tumatawa lang siya ng ganyang kalakas kapag kaming dalawa lang.
That's certainly not a happy laugh. That is a you're-getting-on-my-nerves laugh.
"Your friend here likes to joke around." Inakbayan ako bigla ni Russell at hinila upang mahalikan sa labi. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ngunit napapikit din naman kaagad.
I thought he was just going to give me a goodnight peck on the lips but he suddenly deepened our kiss. Napaurong ako at bahagyang inilayo ang mukha ko sa kanya.
Whoah. That was a first.
Hindi niya ako hinahalikan ng gano'n. It's always soft kisses with Russell.
