Behind Her Bitchy Looks

C51

Leila's POV

It's indeed déjà vu. But with another man.

"It's you." Taehyung whispered in his husky voice. Nawala ang panic at worry, bagkus ay napalitan ng kalmado at lamig. The usual tone he use on us.... he use on me.

My lips parted as I step back just to keep our distance wide. Ramdam ko pa rin ang lamig ng chocolate shake saaking blusa pero hindi ko na iyon ininda pa. What is he doing here? Is he..... is he stalking me?

"W-What are you doing here?" Nakakunot noong tanong ko habang nakatitig lang sakanya. He was just doing the same. Never giving the stain near my chest a single glance.

"I have some business matters." Simpleng sagot neto, medyo nakakunot ang noo. Napatango tango ako at agad iniiwas ang paningin. Magaasume ka pa talaga, ah? Aish.

Ibinagsak ko na lamang ang paningin sa aking blusa at marahang pinalis ang iilang yelo na naroon pa. I silently cuss dahil sa kitang kita ang mantsa.

Great, Leila. Kung bakit ba kasi tatanga tanga ka!

"I'm sorry." Kusang umangat ang paningin ko ng sabihin niya iyon, "I was just really in a hurry. Hindi ko na nakita pa ang dinadaanan ko."

I smiled weakly, "It's okay. I'm at fault too." Saad ko naman at muling binalikan ng tingin ang aking blusa.

Kinuha ko ang panyo sa aking purse at marahan iyong pinunasan. Napangiwi na lang ako ng hindi man lang iyon nakatulong. Instead, mas lumala.

*sigh* May balak pa naman akong pumunta ng mall para bumili ng dinner. Bukod kasi sa tinatamad akong magluto, wala naman na kaming stock sa bahay at bukas pa ako maggogrocery. But than, this happen. So.... paano na?

I sighed, "I guesse I'll be going." Pagpapaalam ko bago muling inangat ang paningin. I smiled, "Magagabi na rin."

He didn't utter a word at nanatili lang ang mga mata saakin. Tila ba naninimbang o ano. Tila may kung anong iniisip o di kaya'y nagdadalawang isip.

I tried to smile again but than I hardly cuss ng naiilang na ngiti ang naigawad ko. I nod a bit to bid goodbye before finally stepping out of the restaurant.

But just when I was about to walk pass him, he suddenly grip my arm that made me stun.

"Wait," he said that made me look at him. I met his intense yet calm eyes once more at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit may kung anong nagwawala na naman sa loob ko.

Shit, Leila. Just shit.

"W-What?" I ask. I tried to make my forehead crease but all I can manage is a nervous face! And I don't even know why I'm nervous!

I waited for him to responce but all he did was drag me back inside the restaurant. Nanlaki ang mata ko at sinubukang magpumiglas but than he was stronger than me. Mahigpit na nakahawak ang kamay niya sa palapulsuhan ko causing some of his nerves to show up. His hands was huge compared to mine making it impossible to get off his grip. Hindi ko alam kung anong plano niya, pero..... kinakabahan talaga ako ng sobra. *gulp*

Hinila niya ako papunta sa right corner ng restaurant. I saw a man, in his mid-40's, stand at the view of him na siyang agad kong nahulaan na business partner niya. That's your proof, Leila. Bakit ba kasi naisip mo na sinusundan ka niya? Wag na wag mong sasabihin na epekto ito ng mga sinabi niya nung kaarawan ni Mikael dahil bibigwasan talaga kita!

"Sorry I'm late, Mr. Shin. I just fixed some things and some.... one." Ani Taehyung ng tumigil kami sa gilid nung lalaki. Nangunot ang noo ko sa huling sinabi niya at agad siyang tiningnan. I caught him staring but he immediately glance away when our eyes met.
