BITTEN ✓ (Hunter / Spinoff) Russell's Story

Chapter 13: She isn't, You are

She isn't, You are

Bella's POV

Kung pwede lang lamunin na ako ng lupa ngayon sa sobrang kahihiyan. Hindi lang ako umamin na gusto ko siya. I also said he's hot, and he heard all of that. And my two bestfriends are nowhere to be found. Damn! Just great!

"Uhm... well... Crush lang naman kita Kuya. You know paghanga. Because you are smart and good looking. Max and Ashton were just overreacting. Yeah. That's it. Besides, I like someone else. So do not take what I said seriously. Joke lang yun." I said trying to rummage my brain for a good lie.

He just stood there watching me while I tried to stand while balancing myself because it's kind of hard to stand with one of my feet not functioning well.

"So yeah, I uhm... going back to my room now." Anunsiyo ko dahil hindi man lang magsalita si Kuya Russell. Mataman lang itong nakatingin sa akin na tila ba pinipigilan ang sarili.

Kahit iika-ika ay sinubukan kong maglakad upang pulutin ang baston na ibinato ko kanina kay Max. I was about to pick my cane up when I was lifted from the ground. I yelped and wrapped my arms around Kuya Russell's neck. I was shock that he was carrying me again but I was more surprise by the tingles all over my body. It felt good and weird at the same time. I wonder if he feels that too.

"Oh no, put me down. I can walk on my own. I just need my cane." Sambit ko ngunit hindi man lang ako nito tinapunan ng tingin at patuloy lang sa paglalakad papasok sa bahay.

My eyes widened when we saw Canice coming from the living room. The least person I wanted to see while her mate is carrying me. Napatigil ito sa paglalakad nang makita kami ni Kuya Russell. Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin nito sa aming dalawa bago kumunot ang noo at lumapit sa amin.

Oh my gosh, she's gonna scratch my face with her sharp claws.

"What happened?" Kalmadong tanong nito na ikinagulat ko.

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag dahil hindi naman pala ako nito susugurin. It just kind of awkward right now that Kuya Russell is carrying me in front of her. So I feel like I have to explain myself dahil baka iba ang isipin nito.

"I got injured yesterday from my training and Kuya Russell is just helping me go to my room. You have nothing to worry about. Actually, kaya ko naman maglakad eh. Can you put me down?" I writhed under him forcing kuya Russell to put me down gently.

"What the hell are you doing? I said I'm going to take you to your room." Tila naiinis na sambit ni Kuya Russell.

Tinignan ko si Canice kung magagalit ba ito. Because her mate is offering to take me to my room. A normal mate will get jealous. Pero mukhang hindi naman ito naiinis.

"She said she can walk. I think kaya naman niya." Sambit ni Canice na lumapit sa tabi ni Kuya Russell at hinawakan ang balikat nito.

Can someone please save me from this awkward moment? Nabuhayan naman ako ng loob nang lumabas si Nate mula sa kusina na may hawak pang soda.

"I think Nate can help me." Sambit ko at saka tinawag si Nate. "Hey Nate! Can you help me go to my room?"

"Sure." He replied without even thinking about it, setting down his drink on the table before going beside me.

Good thing at hindi ako nito binuhat at inalalayan lang ako sa paglalakad. He have his arm around my waist while I have mine over his shoulder, guiding me through the stairs.

Not even a second after, I heard someone growl and then Nate's arm around my waste was snatched away from my waist. Then the next thing I knew was Kuya Russell pulling me away and then pushing Nate by the chest, growling ay him. Thankfully, Nate was able to balance himself.
