Between the Rainbow (Strawberries and Cigarettes Series #1)

Chapter 31

Everything

Babangungutin pa yata ako sa lahat ng mga nalaman ko kay Mavric. Though he pointed out that he still likes women, which means here, we're both bisexual? Whew. At least I'm fucking serious about courting Shiloh here. Eh siya? He's more invested in railing that man who made him a bottom. He's eager to fuck him.

He really traumatized the shit out of me. And he purposely told me about Chloe's sibling so I would find out his sexuality, huh? Ang wais ng gago.

Before going to my own class, I went to Shiloh's room so I could give him the snacks. I only handed it, making sure I'd appear cold, and went back to my class immediately.

Kahit noong pauwi na, habang ka text ko ang mga boys na walang plano at nauumay na yata sa pagmumukha ng isa't isa, tahimik lang din akong nagmaneho.

Why is he in the engineering department? I mean, yes, I am courting him. But I deserve to know if...he has a crush there? At ano lang ba ang mga mukha ng mga lalake roon? Sino naman ang matitipuhan niya? Kung babae man... alin doon?

Ninakawan ko siya ng sulyap at nakitang ngumiti siya habang may ka-text. Binasa ko ang labi at bumuntonghininga, binilisan ang pagmamaneho, at gusto ko nalang yatang makatulog agad pag-uwi.

He's always this coldhearted. Well yes, you were just courting him. That's normal that... you needed to stay patient with him.

He turned off his phone and glanced at me. I glanced at him too.

"Pahiram ako ng phone..." he said carefully.

My brow shot up. "Why?"

Tumitig siya sa akin. Tumikhim ako at kinuha palabas ang phone sa aking bulsa. Ibinigay ko iyon sa kanya. He knows my password, so he automatically opened it.

Naglaro lang siya ng games buong byahe. I calmed down a bit, trying to calm myself that I was getting overdramatic over petty things again. Akala mo naman talaga nakitang may kahalikan doon.

"Nasa Engineering Department ka kanina ah?" tanong ko, ipinatili ang tingin sa daan.

"Ah oo... Sinamahan ko si Rick. Bakit? Nandoon ka rin?"

"Yes. I saw you with girls—"

"Bakit ka nandoon?" agad niyang tanong, kuryoso.

"Ronan and Tyler dragged me since Ronan asked for the number of that girlie. And I saw you—"

"Sinong babae?" Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Charlie? I can't remember. And I saw you—"

"Bakit ka sumama?"

Tang ina! Mababaliktad na naman yata ako.

"They dragged me. I didn't participate in getting someone's number. Kung hindi pa ako napadpad doon, hindi ko makikitang nandoon ka rin pala. May crush ka doon?" deri-deritso kong salita lalo na't singit siya nang singit!

"Sino naman?" His brows knit.

"I don't know with you." I rolled my eyes, gritting my teeth a bit, and maneuvered the car to the other side of the highway to overtake the other cars.

Ibinalik niya ang atensyon sa phone ko. I licked my lower lip again.

"Fine with me if you have a crush. I'd still court you," I murmured while glaring at the front.

Hindi na siya umimik sa bagay na iyon. At parang mag-aaksaya lang ata ako ng laway kaya hindi na ako nagsalita pa. Dumaan kami sa isang fast food lalo na't wala ako sa mood na magluto. At noong umuwi, nauna na ako sa kuwarto.
