Whelving Warmth
Chapter 11

"Gago ka ba?!"

My moment with Ashton didn't last long. Somebody suddenly pulled him away from me.

Theo was so furious as he landed his fist in Ashton's face.

Nang mag-register na sa akin ang nangyayari, dali-dali naman akong lumapit sa kanya para pigilan siya, "Hey, stop it," I tried to sound calm while saying that. When in reality, I'm really scared of what's happening.

I saw how angry he was when I went nearer to him. He's clenching his jaw aggressively and his fist are tightly closed. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin kay Ashton. I can feel how badly he want to hit Ash again. Hinawakan ko yung kamay niya para pakalmahin siya pero hindi gumana.

"Bitaw, Sariah. Tangina nyan!" Umamba pa siyang lalapit kay Ash kaya pumagitna ako sa kanila. "Tumabi ka dyan. Makakatikim pa yan sakin!"

Ashton touched the side of his face that Theo punched. Pang-asar niya pang nginisian si Theo, "Calm down. I'm sure it's alright with her."

What the hell is Ashton thinking?!

Theo's eyes became darker. Mas natuwa si Ash sa nakuhang reaksyon mula sa kanya, "Sadie, why don't you tell your boyfriend that you liked your fiance's kiss?"

"Pota anong sinasabi niyan?" Theo looked so confused with what he heard.

"Shut up Ash," inis kong sabi sa kanya. "Just go away."

"Now you want me to go away," he laughed sarcastically. Lalo ko siyang sinamaan ng tingin. He's making the scenario worse that it currently is! "Sure hon. I'll let you talk to that guy," sinabi niya iyon ng may pangungutya.

Bumaling siya kay Theo bago tuluyang umalis, "Thanks for the punch, by the way,"

"Gago, anong sinasabi non?!"

I looked around to see if we gain attention from the other visitors. Buti nalang hindi dahil medyo tago yung pwesto namin.

"Oh," inabot sa akin ni Theo yung panyo niya.

I looked at him weirdly.

Naiinis niyang kinuha yun sa akin at pinunasan yung labi ko. He use his right hand since the other one is holding my face. It was so harsh that I thought my lips were about to be erased.

"Stop, masakit!" reklamo ko sa kanya.

"Gago yun, anong trip non sa buhay?" he growled. "'Wag kang lalapit dun. Parang tanga, eh. Fiancee ka raw?! May hon pang nalalaman, parang di natin sila kasama ng girlfriend niya nung isang beses."

He sounds really angry at Ashton.

How should I say it?

I bit my lower lip, "About that..."

"Huwag mong sabihing totoo yun," he faked a laugh. "Ano to, joke time?"

"Uhm, yeah. It's true," his eyes widen. His fury was immediately changed into confusion. Iniwas ko ang tingin sa kanya.

He held both of my arms. "Gago, tunay?"

I nodded.

"Ha, bakit ganon? Bakit may girlfriend? Okay lang sayo na ganon?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong.

I released a deep sigh. Now that he knows about it, maybe I should tell everything to him.

"Can we talk about it over a drink?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"You told me that you don't drink," nagtatakang tanong niya sa akin.

Yes, I don't. But right now I want to try it. I think I need a drink. Habang pinag-uusapan namin yung mga problema ko sa buhay.
