JAXON 31
Konti na lang.
Makikilala niyo na si Macey.
Wala bang maghuhula riyan? Djk.
Halata naman na ata.
Pero hindi ka sure.
Malay mo.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.

ENJOY READING!

MACEY was still in shock as Jaxon pulled him until they reached his car. Gusto niyang awatin ito dahil sa laki ng hakbang nito at hinihingal siya pero mukhang walang pakialam sa paligid ang binata. He looks furious and she can't help but just to shut up, dahil na 'rin sa kabang nararamdaman niya.

Sinubukan niyang tumingin sa paligid pero hindi niya nakita si Russel. He might be waiting for her but she can't get her phone in her pocket to call him. Jaxon's holding her wrist while she's holding the item she bought from Naples.

She's just silent. Her heart beat was fast. Not because Jaxon fetch her, or he's holding her...even her wrist. But because of his last words. Wala siyang oras para kiligin. All she feels was fear.

No.

Wag muna.

Hindi pa ako handa.

Binitawan lang siya ng binata nang makarating sila sa kotse nito. Roon niya mas lalong naramdaman ang panginginig ng kamay niya. Jaxon opened the passenger's seat for her, and her heart melted in an instant. She's hoping. She really does.

"T-thank you..." but Jaxon just showed her his pissed expression.

Nang mailagay nito ang maleta niya sa backseat ay umikot ito at pumasok sa driver's seat. Nanatili ang siyang tahimik habang pinagmamasdan ang binata. He started the engine and drove out the airport, not saying any word, but his jaw keeps on clenching.

Hindi na siya nakatiis. "J-jax..." she called him, nervously.

It was like a button, Jaxon frowned more. Humigpit ang hawak nito sa manibela.

"S-sorry..." napayuko siya. She tried to stop her tears from falling but Jaxon won't say any words. His silence scares her. Hindi niya alam kung alam na nito kung sino siya and the fear of losing her battle for him scares her. The possibility that this would end makes her cry. Pakiramdam niya hindi niya kakayanin.

Hindi pa sila nag-uumpisa pero tapos na agad.

Parang ang gago naman 'nun.

Parang ang sakit.

"G-galit ka ba?" she tried to ask again and wiped her tears, but Jaxon just ignored her until they reached their unit. Kusa na siyang bumaba sa kotse nito matapos mai-park sa basement. Jaxon slammed the door, at nauna na itong naglakad papunta sa elevetor. Gusto niyang kuhanin ang maleta niya pero pinabayaan niya nalang at patakbong sinundan ang binata.

"Jaxon!" she called him. Mabuti nalang at naabutan niya ang elevator kung hindi ay napagsarhan na siya nito. Jaxon just looked at her. She stands beside him. He's still silent until the elevator opened on their floor. Nauna nanaman itong lumakad.

He looks like he has no plan talking to her.

"Jaxon!" hinabol niya ito.

But Jaxon just continued walking.

"J-jax...talk to me please." She bit her lips when she felt like crying again. "K-kausapin mo naman ako..."

Tinatakot mo ako e.

She badly wanted to ask him what's wrong. She badly wants to tell...ang dami niyang gustong gawin at sabihin but saying a single word that could lead in who she was would ruin everything she suppressed for years. And if it would be ruined, she'll lose everything...Arrow will lost it and Candace will lost it as well. Maraming damay pero kailangan niyang lumaban mag-isa.
