HER

HE PULLED ME INSIDE THE LIBRARY ROOM ACROSS THE HALL. I can see anger written all over his face.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can you get off your hands of me!" I said annoyed.  He did not listen and even pulled me closer to him.  His face is just an inch away from me.  He was staring at me with rage on his eyes.

"Is it really that easy for you to move on, huh, Alecx? After what happened between us, I am going crazy here while you are shoving yourself at another guy!"  He said irritated.

"Tristan, I can do whatever I want! We are not together! Why are you always acting like a jealous boyfriend? You are already engaged, for Pete's sake!  What do you care?" I shot back at him. His face suddenly mellowed down.

"Please Tristan, I am begging you, just leave me alone. You are going to be married soon.  Let us stay away from each other."  I said in a resigned tone.  I can see the frustration on his face.  He let out a deep sigh. 

"I cannot stay away from you. Lord knows I am trying but every time I see you with another guy, I go crazy.  All I know is you are supposed to be mine.  Only mine." 

             And with that, he started kissing me.  He tried to open my mouth with his tongue.  I can feel that he wants me badly. All my defenses are starting to crumble but I tried to keep my sanity back.  I tried to push him but he is too strong, his arms are wrapped around me.  I cannot let myself give in again.  I cannot make the same mistake twice.  I cannot be his other woman. 

            Without realizing, I felt my tears running down my face. He probably felt that I was crying. He suddenly stopped kissing me.  He stared at me and gently wiped my tears away. 

            "Alecx, please don't cry.  I am sorry.  I promise, I am going to make things right."  He said while caressing my face. 

            While he was doing that, I felt somebody was staring at us, like we were not alone in the room.  I looked at the door that was left ajar.  Tristan followed my gaze and we saw Sam standing in the doorway looking at both of us in disbelief.  I don't know how long she has been there.  I felt like a guilty child caught in the act of doing something wrong.  I felt remorse on myself. 

            I pushed Tristan away and tried to free myself from his embrace. I am not good with confrontations and did not utter a single word.  She can call me a coward and I will accept whatever harsh words she wants to say to me.  But she kept her silence.  All I know is I can no longer stay in this room.  I have to get out of here. 

             I was afraid that she would slap me as soon as I reached the door but all I saw was the hurt in her eyes when she looked at me as I passed her by.

I tried to find Raffy and asked him to bring me home. I lied and told him I was not feeling well. Carla probably sensed that something was wrong so all of us left after saying a quick goodbye to Mr. Archer.

As soon as we entered my flat, Carla immediately asked me what was wrong. I told her what happened and she was in shock, too.

"I felt like a frightened mouse running away after what happened. I didn't know what to do, what to say. I felt so ashamed, Carla." I said tearfully.

"Wow! That was nuts! That was like in the movies! Your boring love life suddenly got too exciting. I felt like watching a telenovela!" She exclaimed. I know she was trying to cheer me up. She is always my cheerleader and I am truly grateful for her.

"But seriously Alecx, if Tristan said he will try to make things right, why don't you wait for him first to do something. He probably has a plan. Don't leave yet." Carla said trying to talk sense to me.

"Bes, are you really on my side? What plan are you taking about? How could he make things right if he's also lost like me? After what happened a while ago, I feel spiraling down with all these rollercoaster of emotions. I can't cling on false hopes and assumptions. I need to stay away from him. I am leaving tomorrow." I said in resignation.

She just kept silent. She knows that whatever she says, nothing will change my mind. She then hugged me to show me that she supports whatever decision I make.

"Bes, just remember I am always here for you. Call me if you need anything. I will check on you while you are there so I know how you are doing." Carla said sweetly.

"Thanks Bes, but don't worry about me. I will be with my family. Mom and Paul will take care of me. Promise me, if you are going to email, text or call me, don't mention anything about Tristan. The only thing you are allowed to tell me is about work and when the groundbreaking starts. No news about him, is that clear?" I asked her nicely.

She nodded and did the cross my heart sign. I feel so lucky to have a true friend like her.
