Taming Yue

Chapter 10

Louraine

"You cursed earlier. You sound sexy tho." He said at hinampas ko naman siya sa dibdib niya.

Kanina niya pa kasi ako tinatahan. Usually I wouldn't control myself and will just cry for the whole day tuwing naalala ko iyon.

But then, when he held me in his arms, unti unting nabubura ang bangungot na iyon. It's the first tine that someone held me like this everytime I cry. It's the first time that someone's here to comfort me.

"Baliw ka." I told him. "Wag mo nang uulitin 'yon." Ani ko pa at tumawa lang siya.

"That's the 20th time that you've said that." He chuckled and looked at the sky. "Thank you Louraine." He said.

Napatingin ako sakaniya. I think he's not drunk anymore. But the alchohol's still hugs his clothes, I hate it.

"I really did thought about jumping earlier." He started talking. "It hurts so much Louraine. It hurts that I can't ever see her again." He added and laughed like a fool.

"Akala ko kapag tumalon ako doon makakasama ko na siya. I thought that, that's the only way for me to let the pain go away and to be with her. But you...you stopped me." He said.

I looked at the ground. "I was lost. I can't find myself anymore earlier. I'm drunk and broken. I'm not in my right mind. And you, you held on me." He continued. Nagulat ako ng ngumiti siya sa akin.

"When you held onto me, you should've thought that I won't let go of your hand anymore." Aniya at napatanga ako sakaniya nang sabihin niya iyon.

"Life goes on Yue. Huwag mong ikulong ang sarili mo sa nangyare na dahil mapagiiwanan ka." I said. Napatawa ako sa sarili ko.

I'm expert when it comes to giving an advice but I can't even fix myself.

"Yeah." He said as he stood up. Inalok niya ang kamay niya sa akin pero tumayo lang ako ng hindi kinukuha yun. Hindi naman kasi kailangan.

But he caught my hand and clasped it. I looked at it and then to him.

"Thanks for holding me." He said and walked. Natangay nalang ako dahil wala ako sa huwisyo.

Nakarating kami sa canteen at nakitang kumakaway ang mga kapatid niya. Hazel and Luke's not with them...again.

Palagi nalang nagsosolo ang dalawang iyon! Kinikilig ako para sakanila, hehe.

His brothers looked at one direction. Sinundan ko ang tingin na iyon at napabitaw naman ang kamay ko sa kamay ni Yue. I felt hot and I'm sure that my face is red right now.

Tumakbo ako sa tabi ni Charles at nag apir sakaniya. Nagulat ako ng akbayan niya ako at guluhin ang buhok ko. "Pengeng cupcakes!" He asked like a kid at napatawa naman ako.

May nagtanggal ng braso ni Charles sa balikat ko at padabog na umupo sa tabi ko. Nakita kong nakabusangot si Yue habang hianahain ang binili niyang pagkain. "Eat Louraine."  He said.

"Someone's jelly..." Hyde said at napatawa naman ang nga kapatid niya.

"Gusto niyo ng leche flan bukas?" I suddenly asked habang nakain kami. Wala lang, I just feel like making one again. Hehe.

"Sig-"
"Gusto k-"
"Sure!"

"No Louraine. Busy ka. Mag aaral tayo buong magdamag kaya aabutin ka ng umaga sa condo ko at hindi ka makakagawa ng leche flan para sa mga lecheng yan." Yue said and gave me an iced tea.

"Bakit kayo aabutin ng magdamag?" Tanong naman ni Hyde at napatingin naman ako kay Yue na mukhang iritado.

Palagi naman.
