A Love Worth Choosing

Vampire

Elisa stopped laughing when she realized that George is being serious. "I don't think I'm understanding that." Hindi niya maintindihan, soulmate? That thing exists? "You see, the reason why I attacked you was because I was thirsty, I was craving for your blood," he paused and looks at her eyes, "I'm a vampire, Elisa, and you are my soulmate." Elisa suddenly passed out making George panicked. He lifts her up and out her in the sofa.

George can't stop looking at her face, she is gorgeous. Small pointy nose and a plump lips. He just want to kiss it. Napatigil siya sa naisip at mabilis na lumayo sa sofa. You don't want to kiss her, George. She's a human, remember? Tumalikod siya at nagtungo sa lamesa malapit sa sofa at doon umupo habang pinagmamasadan pa rin ang natutulog na babae. He can't believe she just passed out.

After five minutes of being unconscious, Elisa woke up feeling groggy. Mabilis siyang bumangon nang maalala ang sinabi ng lalaki. Lumingon siya sa mesa nang mapansing may nakatitig sa kaniya. It was none other than George. "You okay?" he asks feeling a little concern. "I think so," umayos siya nang upo at napa-isip He's a vampire? No way, I'm talking to a vampire right now! Should I get a pic? her thoughts were interrupted when George spoke.

"You know that I can read your mind, right?" lumaki ang mata niya sa narinig. "Hey, don't do that! Privacy!"

George just smirk. "Now, listen, I don't why I am fated to you but, just so you know, I don't like a human soulmate," tumikhim siya at tumingin sa babae, "Don't get me wrong, you're pretty and all, but I want a vampire soulmate, and I know you also don't want to be stuck being a vampire's soulmate, right?" tinignan niya kung ano ang magiging reaksyon ng babae ngunit nadismaya nang makitang wala itong pakialam. So what if she doesn't care? Sa hindi malamang dahilan ay nakaramdam siya ng konting sakit dahil walang pakialam ang babae. Pero ikinasaya niya rin iyon, pwede siyang makahanap ng babaeng kauri niya na siyang makakasama niya habang buhay.

Elisa studied the emotion playing in the man's face infront of her, he seemed hurt. "Are you okay?" bakit ba ito malungkot? Broken hearted ba ito? "I'm not hurt, dummy," he sighs, "I have to go, see you around."

Bago pa makasagot si Elisa ay mabilis na nawala ang lalaki sa harap niya. "Hindi man lang ako nakapag-paalam." Elisa feels sad. Parang may tumutusok sa puso niya, nalulungkot siya na baka hindi niya na makita ang lalaki. Hindi niya naman ito kilala, bakit siya nagkakaganito? Gawa ba ito nang siya ang nakatadhana sa lalaki? Hay, 'nginang buhay 'to.

That night, Elisa slept with a heavy heart. George on the other hand was watching her in her sleep, he positioned himself on the balcony. He had to make sure she is safe. Nang masiguradong tulog na ang babae ay saka pa lamang siya umalis.
