See You Never

06

— Beginning —

"Aray!"

We were hanging out at the topsilogan, chowing down and having a blast because Theo won the first game. Noah pulled Irene's hair, and now they are arguing. Theo's outside, trying to get Damon to join us. While we were waiting for the food, I couldn't stop thinking about Kian. Turns out the guy isn't as bad as I thought, that's why I felt so crappy when we went our separate ways. Kian, he's just kind of nonchalant, maybe? But he's got a good heart, I can tell. The way he is with his sister, the way he hugged me that one night. I felt so protected.

"Okay ka lang ba, sol?" Theo tapped my shoulder.

Tumango ako. Hindi na ako nagsalita dahil dumating na ang pagkain. Dumating na rin si damon, himala dahil wala siyang dala na libro ngayon.

"You are not with your girlfriend, that's new." Pag bibiro ko.

"Cool off." Maikling sagot niya at tumabi kay theo.

Hindi ko alam kung saan pinag lihi itong si damon, sobrang tahimik! May limit lang ata ang words nito. Kinuha ni noah ang drinks ni damon pero hindi ito umimik at umirap lang. Oh, 'di ba?! Walang pakialam! Sana ganyan kadali umakto kapag may mga problemang sumasalubong saakin. Chill lang!

"Baka naman malusaw na siya nyan?" Sambit ni noah at nagtawanan silang lahat. On the other side, damon, shaking his head.

I frowned.  Hindi ako makasabay sa topic nila, ano ba iyon? Nagtanong ako pero umiling lang si noah at tumawa pa lalo. Nang matapos kaming kumain, umuwi na rin agad kami dahil madilim na. The image of me and Kian hugging just won't leave my mind. I don't know, I'm so confused, why am I feeling this way? When Kian's around, I just feel...safe, even though I keep telling myself I can't stand him.

Days have gone by, but the feelings are still the same. It's been almost a month since I've seen him or felt his presence. I can't stop thinking about him, he was stuck in my head. Where the heck are you, fuckface?

Nag aya sina astrid na mag party, hindi na ako tumanggi pa, wala rin naman akong gagawin. Nagsuot lang ako ng denim skirt at white sando, nilugay ko na lang ang buhok ko dahil tinatamad na rin akong mag ayos. Nang makarating kami sa club, marami ang tao at maingay, rinig na rinig sa labas. Ano ba ang inexpect ko? Si astrid, xynthia, at irene lang ang kasama ko. May practice daw si theo. Sina noah at damon naman, busy daw.

Uminom lang ako ng tequila habang sila ay sumasayaw na, iniwan akong mag isa rito sa table namin. Pumunta muna ako para mag banyo.

"Sorry!" Sambit ko agad nang may mabangga.

The guy looked at me, head to toe. He grabbed my waist as I struggle to remove his hand.

"Get off, the fuck!" I hissed.

Hindi siya tumigil at pilit pang ipinagdidikit ang katawan namin. Nagulat na lang ako nang may sumuntok sakaniya at hinila ang kwelyo niya.

"Back off." Sambit ng lalaki.

Umalis ang nambastos saakin at lumingon naman ang lalaki para tignan kung ayos lang ako. My heart beats fast when i saw him, kian! I run towards him and hugged him so tight.

"Fuckface," Bulong ko.

"Whatever you call me," He said and let me go.

Sumama ako sakaniya hanggang makarating kami sa isang table, nakita ko agad ang mapang asar na mukha ni logan. Naupo si kian at naupo naman ako sa tabi niya. I never felt so happy!

"Wow, see you never, huh?" Logan grinned.

I frowned. "See you never?"

"Kian told me that you guys will never see each other again." He laughed with the other men. "Words will always be just words." His smile grew wider.
