CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Q u i n n

"Where. Have. You. Been," Word for word, I uttered slowly whilst sitting in my favorite chair. You know, the one that makes tumba-tumba and langitngit sound? Okay, back to my sexy bitch who's been hiding something from me. "Meadow's with Ice and Kai. She's gonna sleep there tonight, so I-"

"So you can have me alone?"

"Yes," Ang sarap ng ngitian ko kanina kahit na medyo inis ako sa babaeng 'to. Na-miss ko, eh. "Wait, what's wrong with that? Lumabas ka lang, ayaw mo na sa'kin?"

"You're being paranoid again, Quinn."

"Call me babe, not Quinn," Saway ko sa kanya sabay halik sa kanyang malambot na labi. "The fuck?" Aking sinabi, parang ayaw kasi niyang magpahalik. Dumampi lang ng very light, she pulled away na agad and then walked past me. My gosh! Dinedma niya ang beauty ko!

"Oh, okay, babe," She spoke with a little sarcasm. Why, oh, why? Did I do something? Is she gonna leave me na? Oh, no!

"Didn't you miss me? Dati sweet ka sa'kin, ngayon, hindi na," I retorted, going back to my seat. "What's wrong with you? Did you hit your head or something?"

"No-"

"Then, what?"

"I'm tired, Quinn, I just wanna take a rest," She says, before entering the bathroom. I did not say another word and just waited for her to come out. I can feel naman na she's pissed na about my rants and all. Mukha pa siyang pagod, eh, napakakulit kong nilalang.

"Done cleaning up?"

Nodding, she asks, "What?" Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. "If you wanna ask me something, better do me, I mean, do it now."

"You're horny. That's unusual."

"Quinn, ano na?"

"Nangyayari na ba ang greatest fear ko?" I was gonna cry but I stopped myself. I don't wanna look weak, but the pain in my eyes as I looked at her directly, can never lie. "Nawawala ka na ba sa'kin?"

"Here we go again."

"Sawa ka na ba sa ugali ko?"

"Ano?" Grey raised a brow. Oo nga, tunog toxic ako do'n ah. "Ano'ng pinagsasasabi mo dyan?" Kumunot din ang noo niya. I was waiting for a nice, warm hug, but nothing came. "Are you drunk or something?" Dama ko tuloy na lalo akong magdadrama-rama. "How did the pep talk end up at na-highten ang paranoia mo?"

"Am I losing you?"

"Quinn, ano ba? Hah?"

"Wait, let me rephrase that, am I gonna lose you? Because if you're going to leave me, do it now, habang 'di pa tayo masyadong nagtatagal," For the record, I didn't mean that. I don't want her to leave me. 'Di ko kaya, puta. "Kasi kung papatagalin mo pa, mas lalo lang akong masasanay na nandyan ka, mas mahihirapan akong mag-move on."

"I don't know where this is coming from but you need to stop."

"Ikaw, why are you like that? I don't understand," Naiiyak na ako dahil parang wala siyang ideyang gusto ko lang talaga ng lambing. "Na-realize mo na bang napakamalas mo at ako ang naging girlfriend mo? Ako na mainitin ang ulo, malakas ang andar, nilalandi ka palagi, kung libugin din kita wagas, masakit magsalita, at iba pang ingredients ng pagiging maldita ang bumubuo sa aking katawan." Niyakap ko siya. Hindi na rin napigilan ang pagpatak ng aking luha. "Sawa ka na ba, Grey?"
