[A TAGLISH YOUNG ADULT ROMANCE NOVEL]
'One can't unlove someone that the soul cannot forget.'
A living doll in a cage. That's how Maxene Angela Campbell describes her life. Under her mother's wing, she is restricted to explore the world around her...
Muntikan na akong madapa pero buti na lang at may sumalo sa akin, ngunit nang makita ko yung ice cream ko, gusto ko na lang umiyak, ni-request ko pa man din na gawing tatlong layers iyon, tapos may maliliit na marshmallow pero natapon lang siya sa damit nung lalaki!
No, yung ice cream ko!
"What the actual fuck." Mahinahon pero bakas ang pagkairita niya sa boses niya.
I gulped as I slowly look into his intimidating dark brown eyes that hides beneath his bangs and meets my eyes. His impassive reaction makes me feel uneasy, nagliliyab ito sa inis na kulang na lang ihawin niya ako at isama sa stall ng mga isaw, barbeque, adidas at kung ano pang iniihaw sa stall na iyon.
"Excuse me, are you going to say something?" Tanong ng lalaki na hindi ko matitigan sa mata napansin niya siguro na inagaw ng ihaw-ihaw ang attention ko.
Hindi siya mukhang galit, pero iba ang tono ng boses niya. How can one stranger makes me feel this jumpy?
I held the strap of my body bag and noticed how broad his shoulders are.
From his stance, I can't say that he's playing any sports. But then I couldn't help but look at that gold necklace hiding his collar bone. He puts his hands in his pocket and he stands tall in front of me, like he's some sort of alpha. The way he stares at me sends shivers to my spine.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." I say as I use my handkerchief para punasan ang bakas ng sana ay ice cream ko pero ngayon ay nasa gray v-neck long sleeves niya.
He grabs my wrist at parang nakaramdam ako ng kuryente galing sa malapad niyang kamay. Napatingin ako sa kanya, nakaka intimidate talaga ang presensya niya, sa paraan kung paano niya ako tingnan, pakiramdam ko, nanliliit ako.
"I'm very sorry, please don't hurt me." I pleaded and in a blink, he gradually let go of my hand.
"You look familiar." Nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya na parang inuusisa ako.
Shit! Low-profile nga hindi ba? What are you doing Max?
"I'm sorry, I have to find my friends." Sabi ko at tumungo ng bahagya sa kanya bilang pag-sorry ko sa kanya at para na rin hindi niya makita ang mukha ko.
"Hey Travis!" binati siya ng kaibigan niya. "Hinahanap ka ni Pierre, magsisimula na tayo. Maraming girls sa harap ng stage."
"Uh-huh." Matipid niyang sagot niya sa kaibigan at nagsimula nang maglakad palayo sa akin. "Be careful." Mahina niyang paalala sa akin at sumama na sa kaibigan niya.
