CHAPTER 7
PERSISTENT
Lana's POV
I used to hate your presence.
But now I've got kids constantly reminding me of you.
I stared at Kiel uneasily. Ano bang pinagsasasabi niya? Naka-droga ba siya?
"Sorry, I think you got the wrong person."
He smirked even more and tilted his head on the side to get a better view of me. "No, I'm pretty sure it was you. That miserable look in your face was registered in my brain. Nakalimutan ko lang dahil sa dami ng mga nangyari, pero nang makita kita ulit, naalala ko na ng malinaw ang lahat."
Teka, nangiinsulto ba siya? Ako, mukhang miserable? I mean, totoo naman talagang may pinagdadaanan ako sa buhay pero, kailangan niya pa bang i-point out 'yon?
"Ngayon lang tayo nagkita, kuya," I insisted. Style niya ba ito para makausap ako?
"Kuya?" He laughed like he couldn't believe I just called him that.
"You're one year older than me. Nabanggit ni Eloise sa akin kanina," I explained, trying to make a point.
"I had no idea I was such a fascinating subject to discuss."
My cheeks burned, and I quickly looked away from his eyes. "Tama naman ako, 'di ba? Kuya na kita..."
"Baby or love would be better."
Ugh. Tama nga si Eloise. Playboy nga ito. I can't believe he just said that. Ang cringe!
Tumawa na naman siya kaya nagkasalubong ang mga kilay ko. I wonder what was so funny...
Out of nowhere, he leaned down to meet my eyes. Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha niya kaya bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Humakbang ako patalikod at tiningnan ang mga tao. Most of the people leaving the gym are trying to steer clear of Kiel, probably because they're scared of him. However, a lot of them would pause to observe us.
"I'll make you remember me, don't worry. Madami pa namang beses na magkikita tayo, sisiguraduhin ko 'yon."
My throat went dry as I stared back at him. Magre-react pa lang sana ako nang may marinig akong sumigaw.
"Dog alert!" I glanced to my side and saw Rios running in our direction. Agad siyang tumabi kay Kiel at siniko ito. Tumaas ang kilay ni Kiel at ngumuso naman si Rios na parang may itinuturo. That's when I realized, Priscilla was heading towards us with Eloise and Emma beside her.
"Lana? I thought you left already?" Eloise asked, pulling Tyler with her. Nandoon na sila sa parking lot, pero bumalik sila dito sa may entrance ng gym upang lapitan ako. "Magisa ka yata. Where's your boyfriend?"
"U-Umalis na. May lakad pa sila."
"Iniwan ka lang niya dito basta basta?"
