Unfamiliar Feeling Called, Love?

Chapter 35

KISHA's PoV

"I can't think of any good research title last night, sorry." Jhared said seriously while crossing his arms.

"Tsk. What's the use of internet, Jhared? Why didn't you make your self-brainstorming last night? Kasi ako gumawa ako, jeez, you're so unfair." I raised him one of my kilays while crossing my arms.

We're both nakasandal sa inuupuang chair, naka-face kami sa isa't isa with a table in between us. There was only the two us here inside a research section in our library.

"I'm sorry, I just had a mental block last night." monotonous naman niyang sagot, still on his posture.

"Oh gawd," natampal ko na ang noo ko, "Seriously? Mental block? What a shitty excuse."

"It's true, I really had."

"Eh ba't ka naman magkaka-mental block?!"

"Kasi-"

"Gawd, Jhared you're making me insane."

"And you're doing the same thing to me, alam mo ba yun?" he countered kaya natigilan ako at magkasalubong ang kilay na tinignan siya.

"What the hell Jhared?"

He leaned forward to me, "Yeah. My mind's flashing the images of you the whole night to the point I got mentally blocked..."

"Shut your bunganga."

"...which I can say is very unlikely of me..."

"Shut up, will you?"

"... You're making me insane, Zaxisha."

"I said shut up." tuloy nainis na naman ako sa kanya, my heart is beating faster than the usual nang wala sa oras. Punyeta talaga 'tong lalaking 'to.

Good thing tumahimik na siya ulit, but he's still staring at me. Ako naman, umiwas nalang ng tingin. I can even feel my cheeks are starting to feel as if they were burning, pati yung buo ko'ng katawan. I tried hard to maintain my composure.

Umirap ako sa ere sabay buga ng hangin, "Let's just talk about this later, sumasama pakiramdam ko sa'yo."

I stood up to leave him but the he called me, "Kisha, what about..."

I stopped, turned to him and crossed my arms again, nakatayo na pala siya, "Ano ha?"

"You want a unique research title, right?" he started, I only raised him a kilay.

He walked close to me until nakatayo na s'ya sa harap ko and started saying, "Research Title..."

"Delving into Love:..."

"What the heck Jhared?" I reacted nang narinig ko ang non-sense na lumabas sa mouth niya.

He just continued at hindi nagpapigil, "Studying the elusive heart of Zaxisha Lurrhaine Amatong..."

"Nasisiraan ka na ba ng head, ha? Ha?!"

My eyes widened upon hearing those, pero napalunok at shut up nalang ako when he leaned himself closer to me, "...in close relation to Sternberg's triangular theory of love..."

"... using psycho-emotional alternatives..." I continued to make steps backward while he's also stepping forward with our face in close distance, "...against her defensive patterns..."

"... and foundation on emotional mechanism." he stopped kasabay ng pagtama ng likod ko sa edge ng isang mesa, then he fully cornered me by putting both of his hands on the table I was pinning on. Naka-angat pa rin ako ng tingin sa kanya habang siya naman ay seryosong nakatitig sa akin. Our eyes were linked, and it's making me feel so much kaba.
