Every Ending (COMPLETED)

Kabanata 9

I didn't dare to drink or just taste the thing that they're handing to me. Mahirap na at mababa pa naman ang alcohol tolerance ko.

"Ayaw mo?" I shook my head at Bea. "Kahit isang tikim lang?!" She pouted while handing the glass to me.

"Ang kulet, 'Wag mo na kasing pilitin," Ric took that glass and he's the one who drank it.

Inirapan lang siya ni Bea at hindi pinansin.

Like what I'm doing earlier, I'm still avoiding looking at Gen who's now sitting in front of me. But even if I didn't look or just glanced at him, I've felt that he's glancing at me now and then.

"Uy, Gen... kanina ka pa tahimik, ah!"

"Oo nga, sino bang iniisip mo?"

I stiffened, slightly uncomfortable.

"Ayos ka lang?" Ric sounding worried.

"Yes," I whispered and smiled fakely.

C'mon Amaia, You can do it! Ang tagal mo nang ginagawa 'yang pag-iwas. Ngayon kapa ba rurupok?

"Girlfriend siguro?" kantyaw ng isang barkada ni Saesar.

Gen chuckled, "No..." I bowed my head. "Wala akong girlfriend,"

"Talaga?!" A girl beside him exclaimed. Nagtagal ang tingin ko sa babae.

Well, he's also pretty. She's slim and I think mas matangkad ako sa kanya. The girl was wearing a spaghetti strap and a pair of maong shorts. Napanguso ako... I think it was Gen's type. Slim, fair, and of course pretty.

Biglang bumaligtad ang sikmura ko dahil sa naisip. Hindi naman kasi ako gano'n.

"Oo, eh," Gen chuckled. "Bakit? May irereto ka ba?" He asked playfully.

I narrowed my eyes. I didn't know that there was a playful side to him. Or... is it the effect of the alcohol? Napapansin ko kasi na medyo nakakarami na siya. I know right! I just can't help but notice it.

Or the real reason is he's just serious around me because we're not really close as he said,

Pinigilan kong mapatingin sa kanya.

The girl laughed in a flirty way. "Ako, Pwede?"

The people around the table laughed. Nakita ko pang nag-appear si Bea at 'yung babae.

I clenched my jaw. Wow lang, hah? Hindi man lang nahiya na sabihin niya 'yon sa maraming tao?

Nagtatawanan ang lahat samantalang ako ay hindi mapakali sa inuupuan habang malalim na nag-iisip.

Nahagip ng mata ko ang seryosong mata ni Gen na nakatingin sa

I'm really really doing my best but... damn! I can't help it!

I look at him and onced again our eyes met. What the hell is that? Binabantayan niya ba ang bawat galaw ko?

Damn him! Bigla akong nairita sa kanya.

Yes, I like him. But it doesn't mean that I'll not hate him as well. Na lahat ng gagawin niya ay kakahangaan ko.

His eyes are so serious while staring at me. Nagtagal ang tinginan namin then...

He smirked.

I gritted my teeth. This is crazy, bakit ko naman maiisip ang bagay na 'yon?

As if he also likes me or something...

O baka naman binabantayan niya ang galaw ko para malaman kung may gusto talaga ako sa kanya?

If that's the reason then I'll not give him clue. Mamamatay mo na ako bago niya malaman na may gusto ako sa kanya kung sakali man na hindi pa niya alam.
