"There is nothing for us to talk about, let go of me." Zoey tried her best to get off from Michael"s hands but due to his anger and jealousy his strength went double and aggressive.Michael pushed her to the park bench and then combed his hair out of frustration. "Zoey why don"t you give me a second chance please. I know I became a jerk before from cheating behind your back but I"m now a change person. Zoey I love you so much. Loving you make me do crazy things.
Please believe me. I"m sorry for cheating on you, I"m sorry for disappointing you, I"m sorry for hurting you. I thought that because you live so much you will easily forgive me from all my wrong doings. But it"s your call for ending everything."
Michael"s last words made blood rushed into Zoey"s ear in anger. How come it became her fault for ending her sufferings? "Wait! Excuse me Cortez. It is you who made our relationship turned like that. Well never mind. If you think that way; so be it. Anyway you cannot be wrong, right?" Zoey sarcastically replied.
She tried to stand up and head her way back to her unit but Michael once again pushed her back to the bench. Didn"t he know that with his strength right now he could crush Zoey"s body?
A loud bang was heard after Zoey was forcefully pushed back. We have to add her back bruises to her injuries for tonight.
"Aww!" Zoey cried out loud from the pain she had when her small body hit the back rest of the bench.
"It"s your fault! If you didn"t try to escape and turn your back from me while were talking I wouldn"t push you that hard."
Zoey didn"t know that Michael is a blame shifter. How come (again) it became her fault? As of there is no point resisting from this urge to talk, Zoey shut her mouth and looked at him blankly.
"Zoey accept my apology. Please! I really mean it. I"m sorry for causing you pain from all my wrong doings, what I"m doing and what I might do. I really can"t get you out of my mind…"
All of a sudden Zoey realized, "What are doing here? How dis you know that I"m living here?" It was a stupid realization of Zoey that time. Out of all the things, it was the first thing she thought after he dragged her out from the convenient store.
If her brother will hear her, Zick might hurt her head real hard.
Michael was somehow confused with her and tried to reply. "I followed you…"
Nickel was left in her unit after the minor accident. He just then comprehend that he must he too obvious with his feelings.
Believe or not, but he has not yet involved in any girl-boy romantic relationship. From the day he first lay his eyes to Zoey, he already closed all his doors to other girls.
During his younger days, it was all his female schoolmates who were making the first move to get his attention. It were the girls whose giving him chocolates on valentines, surprises and many more rather than the other way around. He was even known as the Binatang Filipino. A pet name given to him by his friends as the male counterpart of Dalagang Filipino.
"G.o.d! Am I too bold for saying that she should marry me? Am I that too transparent? Am I wearing my heart on my sleeves?" Questions after questions were all popped up from his mind out of paranoid. He didn"t notice that Happy was already clinging into his leg.
When he saw the clingy dog, Nickel carried her and asked his inquiries again. Happy replied with a soft arf to confirm all his questions.
The two stayed in that cute position when he noticed that it was already long since Zoey left out. "Happy what happen to your mother?"
The dog looked at him with her puzzled eyes. "The convenient store is just down stairs why is she taking so long?"
With his uneasiness from Zoey"s whereabouts, he picked up his phone and tried to call her. His call went straight to her voicemail after a few rings. He tried it again but this time he heard a phone ringing in her room. "Dammit! She left her phone. Where are you?"
Call him over reacting but the store is just an elevator travel and maybe fifty to seventy steps out from the elevator door. It isn"t that far for her to take this long.
"Did she tried to walk away because of my boldness? But it is her house where will she possibly go other than here?"
He didn"t let himself answer his own question because he shortly when to his unit and took one thin coat to protect him from the outside. Although, he was wearing his casual home clothes. It isn"t his usual attire going out of the building and to avoid wasting him to change his clothes; he just picked one cardigan and went down.
