I spied on her – followed her a ligtas distance away. She was visiting Charlie. Luck must have been on my side today. No Edward. Nessie was out with Bella and her new friend Jenny. I’m pretty sure Bella knows I’m lurking in the shadows of the forest. She stared long and hard in my direction and then sighed. Nessie glanced every now and then, too, a forlorn look on her face, but Jenny’s non-stop chatter claimed most of her attention.
My puso rebelled when they took their time indoors. X-ray vision did not come with being a wolf. I wish it did. I couldn’t go near the house and take a peek at the front windows. Nessie might sense my presence.
Finally, before I blow up with impatience, they went out the door.
I was impatient to see her beautiful face, to see her twinkling eyes, too see her perfect lips curved up in a soft smile…
She looks beautiful. She looks well…okay…
What?! Do you expect her to be zombie-like and everything? A voice in my head demanded.
An image of Bella during the first few months when Edward left her flashed before my eyes, her tsokolate brown eyes – very much like Nessie’s – lifeless.
Do you expect her to come tahanan like that, you selfish fool?
I winced. No, I do not wish for her to suffer. It’s just that….
she looks like she’s moved on...
"I'll be back visiting you again soon, Gramp." Nessie called out. "I'll visit you so much you'll get tired of me!" She laughed. My puso reacted. God, I missed her. I wanted to take her in my arms this very instant and paliguan her face with kisses.
I want her.
I need her.
I pag-ibig her.
Always have, Always will.
“Mom, I think I’ll go hunting.” Nessie said.
“Can I go with you?” Jenny’s huge hazel eyes were lit up with excitement.
“Of course not, silly!” Nessie sinabi giggling. “Besides, you have a petsa with Seth later. You have to endure Aunt Alice’s preparations.” She teased.
Jenny scowled a little before her face broke into a huge grin. It was obvious the promise of Alice’s “magic” is madami appealing to her.
“I really pag-ibig Alice.” She exclaimed.
Bella and Nessie burst out laughing.
“I’ll be back in an hour, Mom. So, please restrain Daddy from coming after me.”
Bella chuckled. “Alright, Sweetie. Save some lions for your Dad.”
I saw Jenny flinched.
Nessie blew her mom and friend a halik then walked casually towards the forest.
Should I ipakita myself to her already? I scratched my head. What do I tell her? How do I start?
Later then...
She seemed preoccupied with something. Her brows furrowed. She didn’t even notice me as she passed sa pamamagitan ng the thick shrubs that served as my hiding place.
She suddenly stopped in front of a sturdy tree, still Nawawala in her thoughts. What was she thinking about? She stared at the tree, musing, and a soft sad smile on her lips. She sighed and climbed up the puno in….Is she really wearing those stupid heels? I shook my head in disbelief. Girls!
She rested her head on the tree’s bark and closed her eyes.
She looked so beautiful, so sad…. my puso constricted. I want to comfort her, to tell her nothing has changed for me, that I was sorry my stupid idea brought her pain, to ask her if we could go back to the way it was between us before.
I took a deep unsteady breath and took a step pasulong and then…
“Admit it. You missed me, too.” A young blonde man drawled, leaning against the puno opposite Nessie’s.
Where did he come from? My puso beat seem to drown every sound in the forest.
Nessie’s eyes flew open. Amazement and delight lit her tsokolate brown eyes. My puso gave a violent jolt when she flung herself into his waiting arms.
“You came! You came!” She chanted like a child. She hugged him tightly. He hugged her back with much enthusiasm.
She looked up to him. "I thought you'd never come." She said, pouting.
"I thought so, too but I found myself wanting to be where you are. So...here I am."
Nessie's eyes grew soft - I once thought that very expression was only meant for me.
This is bad. It's like I'm watching a sappy tv series.
The guy caressed her cheek tenderly.
My eyes narrowed into slits. My whole body shaking with rage and jealousy. How dare he touch my girl?
I stood rooted on the spot. My eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when I saw him cupped her face and deliberately kissed her.
I swore I could have died that very instant when I saw the girl I pag-ibig madami than life itself halik him back.
I crumpled on the ground and howled in agony.
