This is how it started (Elementary Series #01)

Chapter 44

I don't know what happened, but I just saw myself inside the bar. Dancing and Sev is holding my waist as I dance like I own the whole place.

I am seriously drunk now.

It's funny because he is actually the reason why I want to get wasted today, and here he is holding my waist and trying to tame me from dancing wildly. Sabi kasing wag iinom ng madami at mahina ka sa inuman, Liya naman.

Why can't he just leave me alone?

Ever since I became their designer, he really won't let me be in peace. I am missing those times that I don't have to overthink anything about him and his actions.

I started to think that this is his plan. He planned to tell me that he still has feelings for me, that after years, he still loved me. That after we broke up, he just saw me again and then his anger vanished.

Gusto niya na umasa ako at sa dulo siya naman ang mang-iiwan. Siya naman ang gaganti kasi napaasa niya ako, na hanggang ngayon para sa kanya ay ako pa rin. Na napaasa niya ako hindi niya kayang magalit sa akin, sa kabila ng pakikipag-hiwalay ko sa kanya at paglayo.

Hanggang saan aabot ang ginagawa mo Sev? Hanggang sa makita mo na naman akong umiiyak ng dahil sayo?

He's just watching me intently and holding my waist firmly.

I rolled my eyes at him and move away a little, ang higpit kasi ng hawak niya sa akin, di ako makasayaw ng ayos. May nabangga ako sa likod kaya naman tumingin ako at humingin ng pasensya.

"Wanna dance with me?" tanong niya habang nakangisi at lumapit pa sa akin.

I smiled at him and slowly trying to remove Sev's hands from my waist.

"Sure, no problem" sagot ko sa lalaki at makakaalis na sana ako sa kamay ni Sev ng inikot niya ako paharap sa kanya at hinila palapit.

Our face is so close. I can smell the alcohol he drunk just a while ago.

"She's already mine, so fuck off" he coldly said to the man who asked me for a dance.

Umalis naman kaagad yung lalaki, buti maayos naman kausap, ayaw ko na makipag-away si Sev. He's popular, konting pangyayari lang sa kanya, malalaman na kaagad ng mga fans niya.

"I'm not yours" seryosong sabi ko naman sa kanya, kaya tumingin siya sa akin at bigla akong hinalikan. I just found myself kissing him back.

"You kissed me back, so you're mine"

"Pwede bang patahimikin mo muna ang buhay ko?" tanong ko kay Sev habang nasa kotse na niya kami. Pinilit niya akong sumakay dito, dahil obviously lasing ako.

"Aren't you at peace when you're with me?" tanong niya habang nakatingin ako sa mga buildings na nadadaanan namin papuntang condo ko.

"No" sabi ko at napailing naman siya, pero seryoso pa rin ang mukha.

"But I am at peace when I am with you" sabi niya na hindi ko na lang pinansin.

It's December already. So fast.

We went to Romblon when Emma visited us here, so I can visit Syl na rin. Then after that, we went to Boracay. We fit that for just a week. Good thing that we are safe during that trip, Atarah's guard were with us and I finally met Zac.

While Syl, this guy is really insane. Pinakilala ko sa kanya si Emma, pero di niya pinansin. Sabi niya loyal daw siya. Loyal saan? Sa semento? Nagtampo pa nga siya sakin, dahil wala daw talaga akong dalang pasalubong mula sa ibang bansa. Kahit daw sana sapatos lang.
