A FIGHTER'S TOUCH (A RaStro Story)_COMPLETED

SAVAGE

We both stepped closer to each other as her hand traveled from my shoulder to my cheek. Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin namin sa mga mata at labi ng isa't isa. Our eyes closed when our foreheads gently touched. I knew our lips were no longer an inch apart as I could already feel her breath. Both of our heartbeats were racing as well.

"Ate Rhian!"

(AN: Lakas manghopia nito. Nakakainis. Hahahaha!)

Bigla kaming natauhan pareho nang marinig namin ang pagtawag at pagkatok ni Gale. Rhian and I immediately separated as we were trying to recover from our shock.

"Jason's here." My sister added from outside the room.

"Alright, G-Gale. Tell him I-I'll be out in a minute." Rhian struggled to speak straight.

She took some clothes from our closet and immediately ran to the bathroom. Probably to get changed.

WHAT IN THE WORLD JUST HAPPENED?! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO FREAKING KISS MY BESTFRIEND! WHAT WAS I THINKING?! AT BAKIT PAREHAS KAMING HINDI NAGPIGIL?! WHAT. THE. HECK?!

Not wanting to be alone with her in the same room for now, I quickly went outside. Nang makita ko si Jason sa may living area, agad namang napalitan ng inis ang kabang nararamdaman ko. Lalo na nang makita kong may dala-dala pa itong bulaklak.

"Jason." I  firmly called.

"Glaiza." He awkwardly greeted back.

I went closer to him with an intimidating stance and gaze.

"Look, Jason. To be honest... ayoko naman talagang payagan si Rhian sa lakad niyo. Pero alam kong hindi ko siya dapat dinidiktahan. But the thing is..." I paused for a second to take a deep breath.

"She's my bestfriend, and just so you know, sobrang protective ako pagdating sa kanya. Not that I don't think she can stand on her own feet, but there are lots of things that you don't know about her. Kaya nakikiusap ako sayo, Jason. Pakiingatan naman si Rhian habang magkasama kayo mamaya." I begged.

It felt like being a parent who is letting their child go out for the first time. I knew my bestfriend will only be gone for a few hours, pero hindi ko parin mapigilan ang kabahan sa pwedeng mangyari.

"Magdidinner lang kami, Glaiza. You don't have to worry about anything. I just want to get to know her." He calmly explained.

Dun palang, nakumpira ko nang may gusto siya kay Rhian. Ganun naman ang linyahan at galawan ng mga may balak pumorma diba? Ung 'get to know'? Mukhang pasimple, pero iisa lang lagi ang bagsak.

"You don't understand, Jason. I'll always worry about her. At ito ang gusto kong tandaan mo..." I stepped closer to him just so he would know how serious I was.

"Don't touch her." Mariin ko utos.

His eyebrows met and his expression turned confused.

"You're THAT protective?" He shockingly questioned.
