It's You

Tenth Chapter

"I've got no choice but to respond. I got less than an hour." She thought and responded to his kiss. It was a simple kiss, but due to her response, they began kissing each other torridly. They stopped and gasped for air. Jeremy cornered her at the wall and began kissing her again. There's no sign of resistance, they're just there enjoying that kiss.

They stopped and puffed heavily. Angeal embraced him and whispered, "Sorry, but I have to go."

He ignored what she said. Akala naman ng dalaga hindi niya narinig 'yon.

"Dito ka lang." Sambit niya. "Let's spend this night together... please?" He asked.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked saka kumalas. Iba 'yong dating no'n sa kanya.

"U-Uh~ I mean, let's spend this together, just the two of us... like the way we do in those days." Pagkaklaro niya.

"No, we can't."

"Because I have to go." She thought.

"Maybe someone will come looking for us. Hindi pwedeng wala tayo do'n." Dagdag niya bilang palusot.

"Fine. Tara na." Sambit niya.

Naglakad sila pababa pabalik ng gymnasium na parang walang nangyari sa kanilang dalawa do'n sa rooftop. Nang makarating sila sa gymnasium, naunang pumasok si Angeal saka hinahanap agad si Oliver. Na-receive na rin kase niya 'yong text ni Raven.

 

Time to go, Angeal. You got 30 minutes more. Palli.

 

Napansin siya ni Herbert at Shervin, dalawa sa mga kaklase niya.

"Oh? Saan ka galing?" Shervin asked.

"Sa labas. Nagpahangin lang." She beamed. "Nakita niyo ba si Oliver?" She asked.

Itinuro naman nila kung nasaan siya. Pinasalamatan niya 'to saka tumungo do'n. "Demetria, Oliver." Tawag niya. "It's time. Buy time for me, can you?" She asked them.

"Ako nang sasama sa 'yo." Offer ni Demetria.

"I'll talk to Jeremy." Sambit naman ni Oliver.

Palabas na sila ng biglang masalubong nila si Jeremy. "Saan kayo pupunta?" He asked, galing siya ng restroom.

"Punta lang kaming restroom." Palusot ni Demetria. Nagkunwari naman silang pumunta do'n. Naka-timing din si Oliver at tinawag si Jeremy. "Jeremy! Jeremy!" Tawag sa kanya.

"Oliver." Tawag niya.

"Get in? May pag-uusapan lang tayo saglit."

"Sure." Sambit niya.

Nang makaalis sila, pumunta agad ang dalawang dalaga sa kotse ni Demetria. "I'll drive. Saan bahay niyo?" She asked ng makasakay sila.

"Sa hotel nag-check-in si kuya, just 2 kilometers away. Pwede, hintayin mo na rin kami para maaga kaming makapunta sa airport? Magpapalit lang naman ako eh." She asked of her.

"Sure." Sagot naman ng dalaga. "Pero sigurado ka ba sa gagawin mo? Masasaktan lang si Jeremy."

"I shouldn't be involve with everyone pero I did. Masakit para sa 'kin kase iiwanan ko kayo... pero alam kong mas masakit para sa kanya pero wala akong magagawa. Wala naman talaga akong balak makipag-close pa kung kanino pero seeing him like that, tipong loner at kung ano, I can't leave him." She answered.

"Naging close kami hanggang sa naging ganito. Hindi ko na alam anong gagawin ko. Bahala na. I don't want him to hate me kapag sinabi ko sa kanya 'to. Mas mabuting ganito nalang kaysa kamuhian niya 'ko." She added.
