"Usog ka du'n."

Malakas akong napatili nang hinila niya ang aking braso at pinaunan ako sa kanyang braso. He held my chin making me look at him.

"I like it when you're this close, !bulong nito.

Pinilit kong dumistansiya ngunit mas lalong lang niya akong hinila palapit. "There. That's where you truly belong, Venice.." He hugged me. "In my arms."

"Stop this, Jared. Huwag mo akong paglaruan."

Muli niyang hinawakan ang aking baba at pinakatitigan ang aking mukha. "I'm not playing, Ven. You're just too numb not to notice my feelings."

"Hindi ako manhid."

"You are," sabad nito.

"Hindi." I shook my head. "Kung mahal mo ako, sana matagal mo nang pinakita. Hindi tulad ng—"

"Pag sinabi kong mahal kita, mahal kita. Hindi ka naman siguro tanga para hindi mapansin ang mga kilos kong halata na," he whispered, I can hear pain through his voice.

"Napapansin ko lahat ng mga pinaggagawa mo sa akin, Jared. Pansin ko." A tear escape on my eye once again. "Those actions made me fall for you. Hard. Deep. And insane. Ngunit alam mo kung ano 'yung masakit? 'Yung alam kong ginagawa mo lahat ng iyon dahil sa awa."

Siya na naman ang umiling at pinahiran ang aking mga luha. "Hush. Look, Venice. I'm not doing it just because I feel pity towards you. Ginagawa ko ang lahat ng iyon dahil mahal kita. Mahirap bang intindi—"

"Mahirap." I cut him. "Mahirap lalo na't alam kong hindi ka pa tapos magmahal ng iba."

I struggle on his arms and move away from him. Tinalikuran ko ito at nagtalukbong ng kumot. We have separated pillows but we shared the same blanket.

After what happened a while ago, ang kanyang desisyon ang nanaig sa huli dahil siya ang boss. Inakyat ng mga guards ang mga maleta ko dito sa silid ni Jared. He said that he can take sofa but I refused, telling that I'll just sleep on that couch. Ngunit siya parin ang nasunod. Ngayon ay nakahiga kami dito sa kama tahimik na pinakikiramdaman ang isa't-isa.

"Venice?" Gumalaw ang kama at alam kong kakagawan niya ito. "Gising ka pa ba?"

Instead of answering him, I choose to zip my lip and closed my eyes. Pretending to be asleep. Narinig ko naman ang kanyang pagbuntong hininga. My body almost freeze as I feel a breathing fanning on my nape.

"I'm sorry, Baby." He kissed the side of my ear. "If you ever think that I just did it because of pity, then it's a no. I'm doing it because I love you. I just can't say it. Alam kong naguguluhan ka na sa mga galaw ko, but I also felt the same way. Naguguluhan na ako sa sarili ko. I wanted to take care of you. I wanted to punch Axel everytime he got to held your hand. But my mind keeps on saying that I'm already committed with Kelly. I'm sorry if I hurt you so bad. Naguguluhan rin ako sa nararamdaman ko. At first, I can't accept the fact that I fell for you since I promised to myself I won't love other girl aside from Kelly. That is why I choose to stay away from you. Mas lalo ring namuo ang desisyon kong pilitin ang saril kong kamuhian ka nang malaman kong anak ka pala ng taong pumatay sa Lolo ko." I felt his arms on my waist, pulling me closer to him. "But it won't get me anywhere. I'll just hurt myself if I stay away from you. Damn it, Baby. Call me crazy but I can't live without you anymore. You are the air the breathe."

Naramdaman ko ang pagdiin ng kanyang mukha sa aking leeg at bumulong. "You taught me how to smile, to laugh, to be happy, to forget those problems. You also taught me how to solve them. But sorry, you never taught me how to share. I don't do share, Ven. When it comes to you. I'll definitely kill Axel if he got himself near you again."
