Unbind the Strings

Thirty Four

"Why are your bags packed already?" I said while looking at him.

"Uuwi na ako, saling ketket lang naman ako." he laughed. I glared at him and he said, "Just kidding, I really enjoyed your friends' company and I would love to stay but my parents wants me to be there for their 20th anniversary. Sayang, I was planning to tag you along but they won't be able to meet you na." he said, teary-eyed. He's smiling through the pain, which made me cry more. 

"I hope and I pray that you'll find someone better na talagang deserve mo, Liam. I really wish you all the best, I swear. I'm sorry for-" tinakpan na niya ang bibig ko at nagsalita.

"Sabi ko ayoko nang makarinig ng sorry galing sa'yo. I want to apologize too for messing up with your feelings. Basta, lagi mong tatandaan na enough ka, and always love yourself. Thankful ako kasi kahit sa short time na nakasama kita, you made me realize a lot of things. Go back to him na, baka 'pag 'di ka pa umalis, hindi na talaga kita pakawalan. Sige ka." he said, I saw tears escaping from his eyes and I can't help but cry again. Pucha naman, uhugin na naman kami nito.

I hugged him one last time and whispered, "Thank you, Liam. Take care!" I said and looked back at him. I kissed his cheek and turned my back slowly, then I ran away. I was calling Jay but he's not responding. I sent him a lot of texts while I was in the elevator but he's not replying back. "Jay..please pick up the phone." I said to myself.

"Hello?"  He answered.

"Nasaan ka?" I asked him.

"Palabas na ng boundary sa Batangas, bakit?"  Fuck. Ang bilis naman mag drive nito.

"Bakit ka uuwi, ha? Nagmamadali ka ba? Itigil mo sasakyan mo, mag-antay ka dyan. Antayin mo ako."  I said and went back to the elevator to go to the parking lot. 

"What exactly do you want, Ms. Cathan Thalia Alvarez?"  He asked.

"Huwag kang uuwi, hindi pa tayo tapos mag-usap." 

"Bakit? Ano pa bang dapat nating pag-usapan? Bakit hindi mo nalang sabihin dito sa call?"  He asked, teasing me or whatever, I don't care.

"Nasaan ka na ba kasi?! Huwag ka nga aalis! Puro ka nalang alis alis!"  I shouted at him.

"Uuwi na ako, wala naman na tayong dapat pag-usapan, e. Hindi mo na ako mahal, you just walked away..."  He said.

"Hindi ko sinabing hindi kita mahal! Story maker ka? Author ka ba? Pwede ka na sa wattpad."  I said still trying to find Gab's car, nasaan ba pinark ni Alonzo 'yun? Makikihiram muna tayo ng sasakyan, at wala akong dala.

"So do you still love me, Cali? You want me to go back?"  He asked in a soft and seducing manner. What the heck, mukha ba akong nakikipag biruan?

"Ewan ko sa'yo, ang dami mong alam." I said.

"Okay, mukhang ayaw mo naman ako bumalik. I might just go home and never come-"

"Mahal parin kita tarantado ka. Lakas mong mang-good time. Hindi naman nawala 'yun, epal ka! Ano masaya ka na? Happy? Bumalik ka na rito piste ka!" I was shouting on my phone para marinig niya nice and clear.

"I love you more." Nagulat ako sa nagsalita at napalingon. I glared at him and pinag-hahampas ko talaga ang likod niya. I was teary-eyed when he grabbed me for a sweet, tight, and warm hug. 

I pushed him away but he grabbed my waist closer to him. He looked at me straight into the eyes, still holding me by my waist. His face started going near mine and I closed my mouth just in case, alam niyo na. He was looking at my face then he looked at my lips. He smirked at me and said,

 "Open your mouth, Cali." 

Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi buksan ang aking bibig. His lips was pressed against mine and is giving me a hard sweet kiss like he missed me so much. His tongue started exploring the corners of my lips and mouth, allowing him to kiss me more. I felt his tongue inside me and so I started kissing him back. He pulled me closer to him so we could feel each other's warmth and affection. He slowly pulled his mouth back and gave me a peck afterwards. 

"Yun na 'yon?" I asked him.

"Why do you sound disappointed?" he chuckled and grabbed my hand.

"Bitin." I said back.

"Not here, Cali. Did you miss me that much?" He asked while glancing at me.

"Nakakainis ka! Pabitin ka masyado! Momol lang talaga? Hello? Ilang taon tayo hindi nagkita tas momol lang? Kiss lang? Corny mo." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Since when did you became aggressive and wild, huh? 'Yan ba natututunan mo as school council president? Tsk." He said and pulled me so we could go back upstairs.

"Self-taught, bilib ka na naman sa'kin." I chuckled and he glared at me again. 

"So 'yan ang mga pinagkakaabalahan mo while I was away?" he asked.

"Hindi lang 'yun.  You'll know soon." I said and ran away. He called me but I didn't look back. Gantihan lang, I'll make you want me more.
