Just One Night [ Isla Azul Series #2 ]

Kabanata 2

No choice

I watched as he sat in front of me. Nagpapasalamat ako sa table na namamagitan sa amin at nagsisilbing proteksyon ko.

I silently cursed, sana ay hindi nalang umalis si Mallary. It feels so suffocating, now that we're alone.

I know that the anger in his eyes mirrors mine as well. Sa kabila ng galit ay nakakaramdaman din ang takot.

I cannot describe the change I see in his eyes, or the change in the way he looks at me. 

Tumikhim ako at piniling bitiwan ang titig na 'yon dahil pakiramdam ko ay unti- unti akong nauubos.

Kinuha ko ang kontrata sa aking bag at inilapag iyon sa harapan niya.

This is not the time to be weak Jail, tapusin mo 'to bago ikaw ang matapos.

Nag angat ako muli ng tingin sa kanya. He intimidates me, ang tanging magagawa ko lang ay ang itago ang nararamdaman kong iyon.

"I'm in..." I managed to steady my voice.

His jaw tightened, dahilan para maghurumentado ang puso ko.

"I see you've done your research," aniya.

Halos malagutan ako ng hininga ng bigla siyang tumayo at lumapit sa akin. Mabilis akong napaatras pero agad niya akong nahawakan.

He's so close, his broad shoulders covers me completely. His other hand is at my back supporting me while the other one is holding my face.

Gusto kong tumakbo. The reality of my situation is right in front of me. Hindi ko ata talaga ito kaya.

I can't move, and his smell makes me so damn weak.

"It makes me so fucking mad that you still think you're in control here!" he fumed.

Napakurap ako nang ilang beses. He's so close and I can't think straight.

"Am I right Jail? You think I'll accept your conditions and your opinion about this?" Tanong niya na sinundan ng sarkastiko niyang tawa.

I thought for a moment I saw desire and pain in his eyes but it immediately transformed into anger.

I can't think and say anything. He's holding me, iyon lang ang nasa isip ko.

"Let me get this straight, I am in control here and you'll bend for me. You don't get a fucking choice!" He hissed.

Sobra sobra ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. I just want to run away, I can't do this. Wala pang ilang minuto ko siyang kasama ay naghuhurumentado na ang puso ko.

He makes me weak, he makes me feel. I've never felt this way for a long time since I left him. I can feel my heart slowly melting the ice that covers it.

"And you don't get to act like you know everything," He whispered.

Halos manginig ako. Agad niya akong binitawan at lumayo sa'kin. I didn't realize na hindi ako humihinga kanina kaya hinahabol ko ang aking hininga ngayon.

Tumalikod siya sa akin at ngayon ay nakaharap sa glass wall kung saan tanaw ang buong syudad.

Fuck, he knows! Alam niya ang pag punta ko kay Archer and even my conditions!

Kakausapin ko siya tungkol doon, I want to change some clauses in the contract. I can't live with him!

"We're talking about my rules. I don't care about your conditions," He confidently said.

I, I'm so lost...Hindi rin ako makapagsalita.

Should I give it all up?

He changed, I expected it but not like this. The Saint I know won't treat and speak to me like this.
