Kissing Scars (Time Bound Series #1)

Simula

Memories

The loud shouts from the crowd make me want to cover my ears. I slightly squinted my eyes when the lights from the stage roam around the arena. My arms draped over to the barricade when someone suddenly pushed me.

"We love you, Time Bound!", that cheer roared over the entire MOA Arena.

" Encore! Encore!"

Iginala ko ang mata ko sa paligid, tons of female holding a banner with names written on it. Led lights banner that keeps on flickering. I smiled bitterly as I looked back on the stage. There I saw the five of them. Isa-isa ko silang pinasadahan ng tingin.

Dion, the bassist is grinning while strumming his instrument. Bryce, the drummer keeps on tapping his drums lightly. Dumako ang tingin ko kay Jayden, the pianist, his right hand was on his hips habang and kaliwang kamay ay nakahawak sa piano niya. Gray, on the other hand, was just standing there watching the crowd went wild while holding his mic stand.

Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko nang nahagip ng mata ko ang napakapamilyar na bulto ng katawan. Pakiramdam ko'y nawala ang maingay na sigawan ng mga tao habang nakamasid sa kanya. He's wearing a black leather jacket, underneath it was a white tee-shirt with a spacecraft printed on it, he's also wearing black trousers and black timberland boots. His hair is disheveled and he brushes his fingers on it.

Uminit ang sulok ng mata ko habang pinagmamasdan siya. He really is shining. I heave a heavy sigh bago tumalikod sa stage. I'm done. I'm so done watching him from afar. I'm so done being his fan.

Walang pagaalinlangan akong umalis sa lugar, ilang beses pa akong nasagi dahil sobrang labo na ng paningin ko sa luhang nagbabadyang pumatak.

Humigpit ang hawak ko sa manibela.

"I don't like you," mataman kong sabi sa kanya habang naniningkit ang mga mata. He frowns.

"Yes you do," he said huskily.

I scoff, kinuha ko ang mga gamit kong nakalagay sa working table ko. I rolled my blueprints and put them in on my drawing tube.

"Why won't you just admit it that you like me?"

I gulped when I felt his heat on my back. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa drawing tube.

"Come on, Yhanna be with me."

Pumikit ako ng mariin, kinagat ko ang ibabang bahagi ng labi ko.

"I.. I t-told you I don't like you." malamig kong turan bago siya hinarap. He towered over me. The way he looks down at me with dead eyes sends a shiver down to my spine. He licks the right side of his lip. Umigting ang panga niya and cock his head sideways, tila sinusuri ako.

"You little liar."

Suminghap ako nang marinig ko ang busina mula sa likod ng sasakyan ko. Nanginginig ang kamay kong binuhay ang makina ng sasakyan ko.

"Stop pestering me will you?" singhal ko sa kanya. Kanina pa siyang sumusunod sa akin. I'm done with our work. In fact, naapprubahan na 'yung design para sa bagong condominium na itatayo ng Buenafe Estates.

"My mom told me that no matter what happens I should follow my dreams."

Inirapan ko siya bago naupo sa isang swivel chair dito sa loob ng conference room. He chooses a seat that is adjacent to mine. Itinukod niya ang braso sa lamesa. He put his chin on his hand. Naningkit ang mata ko habang nakamasid sa kanya. He put a sly smile and cock his eyebrows up.

"Can I get one Java chip frappuccino and  a slice of new york cheesecake?" nakangiti kong turan sa babaeng nasa counter.

Ngumiti rin siya sa akin, "One java chip frappucino and new york cheesecake, is that all Ma'am?"
