Tempted (Convallaria Series #1)

Chapter 13

"Sana all, binabalikan." Rhea said.

"Sana all, bumalik first love." Rheniel said while chuckling.

"Sana all, may first love." Jaime said between her laughs.

Nakalimutan kong hindi pala minsan matino kausap mga kaibigan ko. I wanted to slap them really hard para naman bumalik sa katinuan ang mga 'to.

Bigla silang sumeryoso habang nakatingin sakin.

"And your decision is?" Rheniel asked.

"May feelings ka pa rin ba para sa kanya?" Jaime asked.

"Huwag na magjowa, sakit lang sa ulo." Rhea said.

"Wala akong gagawin kasi matagal na akong naka move on dun no. Siguro ang dapat ko lang gawin ay iwasan siya." I told them.

"Bakit mo iiwasan kung wala ka namang feelings sa kanya? Unless, you still have a feelings for him kaya mo siya iniiwasan." Rhea said.

"Wala na talaga. Ayoko lang na pinipilit niya ayusin yung samin pero ayoko na. Ilang taon na lumipas, mag move on na lang din siya. Hindi yung guguluhin niya pa ako."

"Malay mo mahal ka pa talaga niya." Jaime said.

"What's the use of loving someone, when that someone doesn't feel the same way. Sinasaktan niya lang sarili niya. Para lang siyang pumunta sa gyera mag-isa kahit alam niyang sa una pa lang matatalo siya."

"At least lumaban siya kahit alam niya na sa una pa lang talo na siya." Jaime said.

"Kasi siya mismo yung gumawa ng dahilan para matalo siya."

Why do I feel like Jaime is defending Kaiden. Or its just me who thinks she was defending him.

"Maybe you should consider his feeling for you, why don't you give him a chance? Maybe this time it's worth it." Jaime said while looking directly to my eyes.

"If I still have a feelings for him maybe I could consider his feelings for me, but I don't have any feelings for him." They went silent for a second. I told them that we have to start eating because I have a class in Architectural Communication I.

After we finished eating, we stayed there and talk for a while before we decided to go back to our classrooms. On my way upstairs I saw Rhys standing there with a phone in his hand and an earphones on his both ears. Nakasandal siya doon. He's busy looking at his phone that's why he didn't noticed I was there looking at him. Nasa third floor ang room niya habang sakin ay nasa second floor. First and second floor was for Architecture and third and fourth was for Engineering. I wonder what he's doing here at the second floor. I forgot that I have to talk to him and explain everything. I decided to walk towards him and stopped in front of him. Maybe he noticed my present. Tiningnan niya muna kung sino ang tumigil sa harapan niya. When he saw me, he immediately walk, leaving me there. I quickly moved to follow him. I hold his hand to stopped him.

"Rhys, can we talk?" He frowned when he looked at our hands. I immediately pulled my hand on him.

"What are we gonna talk about?" His cold eyes landed on mine.

"A-ahm... About what I had told you the last time we talked."

His eyes become colder and emotionless.

"Forget about it. It's been said and done. Infact, I don't want to waste my time talking about it with you. I don't give a damn." Then he turned around and walk away.

I watched his back as he walks away. I felt my heart aching in pain. Tears started to form in my eyes. I immediately wiped it off. Is this how he feels when he watched my back as I walked away from him after telling him those hurtful words? But there's one thing came up on my mind. Gusto ko lang naman siya pero bakit nasasaktan ako ng sobra sa sinabi niya? Is it more than that? Is it possible that I felt more than that?

I started to walk towards my classroom. I keep telling myself not to cry. I gathered all my strength to walk like nothing happened a while ago. I focused myself on the discussion. I don't want what happened a while ago affect my studies. But, damn! I can't hundred percent concentrate on the discussion.

Our class in Architectural Communication I: Mechanical Drawing went smooth during discussion but my mind is taking it hard to understand. This is how Rhys affected my whole system. I can't concentrate. I can't think clear. I can't focus. I think, I'm going insane if this will continue.

My second class for the afternoon was Architectural Communication II: Graphic Visualization and Represtation Techniques.

I felt like my head is going to explode any minute. After our class in Arch 2; course code for Architectural Communication II.

Hays, hirap pala mag architecture. Parang gusto ko na lang maging kindergarten ulit.

I texted the girls that I needed to go home. May klase pa sila ng 4:00 pm - 5:10 pm. I really wanted to go home. Parang mabibiyak ang ulo ko sa nangyayari ngayon.

I was heading to the parking lot of the school when someone suddenly grabbed my hand. I looked up to find out who it was.

"Ave..."

My eyes grew big when I realized who it is.

"Rhys..." I can't believe what I am seeing in front of me. I even blinked my eyes a couple of times to confirmed that it was really him, that my eyes and mind didn't play at me. His eyes were not cold nor emotionless. His eyes showing something I can't named.

"What is it, Rhys?"I asked him. Hoping that he might consider my explanation this time. I really hope he will listen to me and let me explain this time.

He opened his mouth and he was about to speak when someone shouted my name.

"Ave!"

Anak ng--

I looked to see who shouted my name then I saw Kaiden walking towards me.

"Ave, let me explain everything, please? Let's fix us. I know you still love me." He desperately said. My eyes widen from what he said. I looked at Rhys and I saw him looking at Kaiden then back to me. Palipat-lipat ang tingin niya samin. Then I saw his eyes changed emotion from anger to cold and emotionless. I felt he loses his gripped from my hand. Binitawan niya ang kamay ko at nagsimulang maglakad palayo. He ran his fingers through his hair as he walked away. I felt frustrated from what happened. Yun na 'yon eh! He was about to talk to me but then Kaiden interrupted us.

Kontrabida ka talaga Kai! Panira ka ng moment!

I screamed in frustration inside my head. I turned to face him with anger and frustration.

"Fvck ka ba ha?! Alam mo, bwisit ka! And FYI, hindi na kita mahal. Please, Kai, tigilan mo na ako!"

"I know that you don't love me anymore. But I'm here, still wanted you back. If wooing you again and again could make your feelings for me back, I'll do it eagerly. Even if it means that I have to block someone who tries to get you away from me, I will. I may be sound selfish but I'm selfish when it comes to you. I don't want someone to be near you. I wanted you to be mine. Only mine."
