Blood of the Last Heir

Secret 28: The Call

CHRISTEUR

"Christeur? That is your real name?" bulalas ni Dean nang pinagtapat ko na sa kaniya ang katotohanan. Her mismatched eyes tell me one thing.

Regret.

"This can't be happening, right?" she muttered as I see tears on the edge of her eyes. Sinubukan kong abutin ang kamay nuya na nasa lamesa pero binawi niya 'yon.

"You..." saad niya at lumunok. Pinipigilan niyang maiyak sa sitwasyon namin ngayon.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin nang mas maaga pa? All this time, I'm making out with a guy?! Do you know how I am disgusted with myself right now?" sunod-sunod niyang bulyaw. Hindi ko narin napigilang umiyak dahil sa nakikita ko sa kaniya. Inabot ko ulit ang kamay niya pero pilit niya itong inilalayo sa akin.

"Dean, hindi ko ginustong itago 'to sa'yo. Naisip ko lang kasi na baka pag nalaman mo ang totoo, you'll never love me in the first place." saad ko. Napakagat siya sa ibabang labi niya at napapikit nang mariin. Tumutulo narin ang luha niya. She didn't deny it. Ang sakit.

When she opened her eyes, that's where I lost it. The love I used to see on her mismatched eyes, it was replaced by anger.

"You're selfish."

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon nang maramdan kong may gumalaw sa tabi ko. Sinundan ko ng tingin ang brasong nakapulupot sa bewang ko at nakita ko si Dean na mahimbing na tutulog sa tabi ko. Napatulala ako sa angkin niyang light brown na buhok na tila kumikinang pagkanasisinagan ng araw. Mistisang balat at kulay rosas na labi. Inangat ko ang kamay ko at inabot ang mukha niya

It was all a dream.

But it felt so real.

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Ang sikip. Parang pinipiga. Just the thought of losing Dean makes me feel terrible. Hindi ko mapaliwanag 'yung sakit nung makita ko kung gaano siya nagsisi na minahal niya ako.

"You're selfish."

Parang gusto ko ulit maiyak. Am I really selfish? Dapat ba una palang hindi ko na tinuloy kung anong meron kami?

"Hmmm...baby." rinig kong saad niya habang unti-unting idinidilat ang mapupunghay niyang mga mata. Her mismatched eyes looked puzzled when she noticed my expression. I quickly diverted my gaze.

"Um..good morning?" She asked with so much uncertainty. Napapikit ako nang mariin at napasandal sa headboard ng kama. I pulled the quilt up until on my chest. I smiled, still not looking at her. I don't have the guts to look her on the eye.

I am lying to the person that I love.

"Baby? What's wrong?" She asked and gently nudged my shoulder. I heaved a sigh and tilted my head. I cannot say it to her. I don't even know if I can still tell her the truth if it will cost me everything we have.

I just can't.

Inilapit niya ang katawan niya sa akin hanggang magdikit ang mga ito. She started to plant kisses on my neck. Napapikit ako. Nakakakiliti.

"Baby..." I whimpered. I felt the way her lips curved into a smirk because of what I've said. I stopped myself from rolling my eyeballs 180 degrees.

"Guess you cannot stop yourself from being teased." She whispered on my ear. I clutched her arm hard and gritted my teeth. I'm getting turned on .

Hinawakan ko ang nga balikat niya at inilapat ang likod niya sa kama. I hovered above her. I smirked and slowly leaned down my face into hers.

"I want to erase that smirk from your lips." I whispered into her ear and then bit it. A moan escaped from her lips.
