Andra Erlina Milburn’s Point of View
His soft gazes towards me remained the same. I went to where the sofa was and tried fixing our things aince we’re coming back tomorrow. Well, the things I had with me was completely mesmerizing. I didn’t put it ojt at all but still, I feel the responsibility to do it.
On the lther hand, Zacarias remained standing right in front of me. The softness he had was still there. Honestly, I feel a bit cold yet I managed to become calm and just stop on talking to him.
“Why are you so mad?” he whispered gently to my ears now that he’s now already on the sofa, beside me.
I sneered. “I’m not mad.”
“Why do you roll your eyes at me and gaze like I did something wrong to you?”
He has a point. In that one, I didn’t really know what to say. As I was putting all my things on my backpack, I heard how he took a subtle whiff until he held my hand and put me to sit above his lap.
I was about to get up when Zacarias wrapped his two hands around my waist, pinning me only to him like a subjective person.
“Tell me what’s the reason behind this?”
I didn’t speak. Telling him the reason why I get annoyed may seemed a bit immature. As what he knows, I didn’t know Bianca Li but she’s the current professor in our school who hates me and vice versa. I’m annoyed, that’s one of the reason why I was like that as well.
Seeing the two of them being with each other earlier and wven only had an inch space before I completely vanish hurts me. I’m not the kind of person who’s going to tell things so still, I remained silent as no words came out from my mouth.
“You must answer whenever I ask you questions, Andra. Don’t give me a silent treatment,” his boice became strict and a bit more frustrating and mixed signals. “C’mon… tell me what’s bothering you or in any chance, I annoyed you so we could talk about what’s happening towards you and me,” he groaned.
I didn’t know what to react until I moved on top of him and sneered. “There’s nothing special. Let’s just sleep!”
“Nothing is small when it involves you. What your business was is also my business.” He said.
Since I have no control to myself, I didn’t know whether to tell them or not. But in the end, I just found myself hetting annoyed even more the reason why I started to spit things I shouldn’t.
“Do you know who’s the owner of this resort? How much do you know her?” I asked simultaneously.
“She’s a friend. We met in college. I was with my other college friends earlier…”
“Is that Bianca Li, then?” I asked.
His eyebrow arched. His one hand started to massage my waist as his eyebrows furrowed. “How did you know?”
It took me several seconds before completely answering his question. I honestly doesn’t have to open this one but then, I was really annoyed and communicating with him could help me as well.
“Well, I saw you two in a villa two. Maybe two inch away from each other, drinking while having an eye contact? If that’s what you call towards that kind of interaction.”
I couldn’t hide the bitterness in my voice. For sure, he heard and saw it. Zacarias was just looking at me, he doesn’t said words but remained gawking as well.
“Nothing happened between us, Andra. She’s nice and always has been. Bianca is just a friend…”
“Really? But based on what I’ve seen earlier, it seems like she wanted to kiss you.”
He scoffed and kissed my cheek. “Why do you seem bothered? You had my attention 24/7. You’re the only one I’m talking to.”
“There’s no way for you to stop communicating with others. Bet you all like them,” I said using my soft voice.
“I know what I like and fortunately, Bianca was out of the choices.”
I don’t know whether to believe him or not but the only thing I can do now was to expand my silence and never talk back. As soon as my eyes went on the door, Zacarias suddenly put his face on my neck, sniffing it slowly.
He started to run his fingers on my hair as of he was coaxing me. I felt warm, the anger I had inside me suddenly subsided and was changed withy affection towards him. What I’m feeling today was the feeling I often feel whenever he does something that could warm me. Sometimes, I imagine myself being into a relationship with him yet thinking that everyone would talk back and doesn’t say something good towards our relationship suddenly got me.
Funny how I did it all by myself and thinking at the same time, I get hurt and happy as well. The relationship between us could still end in no time. As much as possible, I wanted to distance myself to him but how can I do that when I couldn’t even distant myself from him just by a small things he does?
I bit my lower lip while he was doing something clingy behind him. My heart started to neats fast and he was the only person who was doing that amongst all the boys I’m linked with.
Slowly, I turned my back on him and started to see his face coaxing me.
“I’m sorry…” he muttered. “Did I annoyed you today? I’m sorry if we didn’t had the xhance to have dinner together,” he explained.
“Don’t explain. I understand. Besides, you’re stressed too that going out your friends is one of your coping mechanism and-“
“My plan was to go there only for a little chitchat but they decided to drink and I couldn’t say no. I’m sorry…” I said.
I remained silent. “There are a lot of tomorrows, Zacarias. We can eat tomorrow all day if you want…”
Zacarias and I cuddled on top of the sofa. His hands were on my waist while mone was wrapped around his neck. I could feel that he was tired, the smell of alcohol reeks within and I could feel that he already wanted to sleep.
