I'll Never Love Again

Quattro

Concern. That was what I saw in his eyes. I bit my lips as I try to hide my victorious smile.

Worried of me now, eh?

Nakakagat labi kong pinagmasdan ang kamay nyang hila-hila ang aking braso. Dahan-dahan kong pinagapang ang aking kamay sa mga kamay nya... I was about to intertwine our hands when he suddenly stopped walking and let go of my arm.

Napatingin siya sa mga kamay ko at nang-aakusa na ang kanyang mga mata nang magtagpo ang paningin namin.

"What? Ikaw ang humila sakin ah." depensa ko

He rolled his eyes and pressed his lips. I don't know if he's trying to suppress a smile... or it's really his impression.

"Don't be so defensive." masungit nyang sinabi and walked first

Sa tingin ko ay... sa clinic ang punta namin. Halos matawa naman ako. Seriously? Sa clinic? It's not like I was deeply or seriously wounded!

Tho it stings... still clinic would be too much!

"Wait, Aries..." pigil ko sa kanya, halos naghahalf-run dahil sa bilis ng kanyang paglalakad

When he heard me call him, he immediately stopped and looked at me with his brows shot up.

"I don't really need to go to the clinic.." nagpipigil ngiti kong sambit

Mas seryoso na ang tinging ibinibigay nya sa'kin ngayon.

"You know... you can just directly tell me that you're worried." mapaglaro kong saad habang nagwiwiggle ang aking kilay

Should I get to involve myself with more fights... so he should act like this often?

Omg, what am I thinking? Oh yeah right... it's for my tactic I guess? For the stupid dare, obviously.

Kumunot ang noo nya sa sinabi ko at walang emosyon akong tinignan. He sighed and looked away looking so serious as always.

"Okay. Heal yourself, then." malamig nyang sinabi at akmang aalis na nang hawakan ko yung braso nya

He really is pikon.

"What?" masungit na naman nyang tanong, napapalingon sa kamay kong nakahawak sa braso nya

Dahan-dahan ko namang binitawan ang braso nya.

"I have something to tell you." I said

I think... it's okay to ask him now since I believe I got him worried. It was a point for me I hope.

He lazily nodded like he's trying to look interested.

"Can I court you?" I confidently asked, without stuttering and without feeling nervous or whatsoever.

Funny how I told myself I won't ever ask that to a man..... but look at me now. But for a dare lang naman.

I felt Aries stiffened and he looked at me like I just asked him something impossible... or ridiculous?

After couple of seconds, he cocked his head and raised his brows... again.

"Are you that bored?"

What?!?

Instead of getting annoyed, mahina pa akong natawa sa tanong nya.

I expected him to ask something like that. It's so him kase. Very Aries-like.

"Yeah right."

Tila nainsulto ko ata siya sa mahina kong pagtawa kaya tumalikod ulit siya sakin.
