Runaway Bride//COMPLETED

Chapter 6

Fall

Sobrang lapit ni Aiden sa akin. I can feel my heart beating so loud. Nakalean siya sa akin habang kinukulong ako sa office chair ko.

Pulang-pula na ang pisngi ko at kinakagat ko ang labi ko upang hindi ngumiti. He looks very serious and... gorgeous.

"Lumayo ka nga," Sa wakas ay nagkaroon ako ng tapang upang magsalita. "Baka may makakita sa atin."

"Why? We're not doing something wrong, darling," He chuckled. Mas lalo siyang lumapit sa akin na feel ko ay isang kembot na lang, magtatama na ang mga ilong namin.

"Yeah but.... This position is making me uncomfortable... So, can you please move a little backward?" Sabi ko at itinulak siya ng konti.

Patuloy lamang siya sa pag ngisi at hindi ko alam kung bakit.

"Okay," Umatras siya bahagya habang tumatawa. "Easy, darling. I won't harm you."

I glared at him. "Can you stop laughing?"

"Suplada."

"Whatever."

Tumayo ako at kaagad na pumunta sa coffee table. I need to stay away from him. I really need to. I need to stop myself.

Tinignan ko ang box na nasa harap ko. Galing ito sa isang sikat na bakery. Ano ang nasa loob niyan?

"That's for you. Open it up," Sabi niya at umupo sa harapan ko.

Binuksan ko ang box at nakitang cookies ang nasa loob nito. I clapped my hand in excitement. It's my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

"Thank you, Aiden."

"Welcome. So, you're not mad anymore?" Tanong niya.

"I'm not mad at you," Saad ko at nginitian siya. Sa totoo lang, nagtatampo ako kay Aiden pero hindi naman ako nagagalit. He didn't do anything wrong. And besides, if he really has a girlfriend, I won't mind.

Tinaas niya ang kilay niya. "I should really buy all of that cookies in that bakery for you to always smile."

Yeah... Right... The cookies are really delicious. I should buy more of these. Sobrang sarap.

"Want some?"

"No thanks. That's all yours, darling," Tumayo siya at pumunta sa malaking picture frame ko na nasa tapat ng balcony. Tinignan niya ang mga pictures ko habang ako naman ay kumakain ng cookies.

Hindi ko makita ang reaksyon niya dahil nakatalikod siya sa akin. His hands are on the frames of my pictures.

I admit, Aiden is really the guy you would wish for. Handsome, smart, and caring, his wealth is only a bonus. I wish she would find a girl who would be his perfect fit, and that girl isn't me, not a chance. A warm guy is not good for a cold girl like me.

"You painted this?" Tanong niya at tinuro ang isang painting na nasa tabi ng picture frame ko.

"Yes."

I was a painter.... But I quitted painting a long time ago. Mahirap mag paint kung wala kang subject. Mahirap mag paint na walang nag momotivate sayo.

"This painting is nice... But it lacks something.... It lacks happiness," Aniya at hinarap ako. "You were a painter?"

I smiled while nodding slowly. "I used to be a painter... But I lost interest."
