Every Bad Thing

Chapter Twenty

This isn't just a physical attraction.  It's very far and way different from the way that my past boys made me feel. Silas has the power to break me, and what's crazy is that I'd happily break for him. For Silas.This isn't just lust.This... is scary. This... This is the love that will ruin me inside and out.

Silas licked his lips. He caught me staring at his mouth after he did it. That made me lick my lips, too. Damn. I want to kiss him. No... I want him to do it. Pakiramdam ko ay sasabog ang puso ko kapag hindi ko siya nahalikan ngayon. But... my twin and his other friends are here. 

"Hey, love birds. Lumapit kayo rito." sabi ni Hadeon.

Napahinga ako nang malalim. Pasimpleng kinalma ko muna ang sarili ko bago ibinigay ang bahagi ng aking atensyon kay Hadeon.

I grinned, like there's no tension building inside me. Like I wasn't thinking of Silas kissing me breathless just a few moments ago. I mentally shooed the thoughts away as I nodded.

Bukas ang dalawang flat screen na magkaibang console. Silang apat lang ang naglaro. They first played Rocket League. Iyong may mga kotse na naglalaro ng soccer. Natatawa ako sa panunuod sa kanila. They kept on trash talking each other. Si Silas lang ata ang walang sinasabing masama o mura pero nakikitawa rin. 

I enjoyed just watching. I enjoyed watching Silas. It's my first time to see him play video games, kaya hindi ko rin maiwasan mamangha. I can't believe he knows how to play! Ang akala ko ay puro academics lang alam niya. Plus, he's good at it!

Sunod nilang nilaro ay Left 4 Dead. They first played as a team, but later on decided to play versus mode. maghiwalay sila ng team ay magkakampi si Hadeon at Silas. Si Takumi at Orion naman ang magka-team. Sila Orion ang special infected habang sila Silas naman ang humans. 

"Gago! Orion, hide!" sigaw ni Takumi rito. Tulad ko ay nanunuod na lang din siya. Napatay kasi siya ni Hadeon. Ngayon ay nag-iisa si Orion habang buhay pa si Silas at Hadeon.

"Gago ka rin! I know what to do." ismid ni Orion dito. Humalakhak si Hadeon. Pati ako ay natatawa. Sila na nga ang magkakampi, sila pa ang nag-aaway.

"Fucking Hadeon! Walang silipan." sigaw ni Orion nang mapansin ang ginagawa ng kambal ko.

"Boy, hindi ako naninilip. Ako ang sinisilipan." muling halakhak ni Hadeon. "Come out, come out, Saldivar. Don't be a pussy." 

"Ulol. Gago. Fuck you." tuloy-tuloy na sabi ni Orion. Tawang-tawa naman si Hadeon habang binabaril ang lumalapit na zombie sa kanya. 

"Gotcha!" Orion suddenly exclaimed. Napatingin ako sa screen niya at nakita ang pag-atake ng zombie character niya kay Hadeon. He managed to kill him. It was his turn to heartily laugh now. "What now, motherfucker?"

My twin grimaced. Wala na ang kaninang tuwang-tuwang itsura niya. His air depleted. Kanina ay ang yabang-yabang. "Chainsmoker, Gallego."

"Chainsmoker?" si Takumi ang nagtanong para kay Silas.

"Don't let me down." my twin chuckled.

Napanganga ako. Hinablot ko ang throw pillow sa aking likod at mabilis na ibinato kay Hadeon. "Ang korny mo!"

"Chlorine, wag kang magulo." Orion exclaimed, his eyes remained on the screen. Nginiwian ko ito kahit hindi niya ako tinitingnan.

Mas lumapit ako kay Silas para udyokan ito at bigyan ng mainit na moral support. "Silas, talunin mo yang gagong yan! Crush that cookie into dust!"

Hadeon and Takumi burst into laughter because of that. Sa huli ay natalo rin ni Silas si Orion. Bigong-bigo si Orion nang mangyari iyon. He was confident that he'd win, because he'd played it before and played it more than Silas did, pero wala. He's no match to Silas.
