One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 48: I never said that I love you!

~~Here I am, alone and I don't understand exactly how it all began, the dreams just walked away. I'm holding on when all but the passion's gone. And FROM THE START, maybe I WAS TRYIN' TOO HARD, it's crazy 'coz it's BREAKIN' MY HEART. Oh, it's just too much,

taking

all the WHOLE WORLD ALL BY MYSELF~~~

And it's too late to go back as he has already seen me, so I have no choice but to continue my steps towards the kitchen. I mentally scolded myself for my wrong decision of going downstairs.

-'Haist! Why am I an expert when it comes to wrong timing?'-

"Can we talk?"

"Huh! Jesus!" I gasped in shock when suddenly he appeared in front of me. Thank goodness the glass didn't slip into my hand.

"I'm sorry, but can we talk, Samantha?"

I sighed and returned to my previous job of ignoring him.

I walked past him but he followed me until I reached the living room.

"Samantha, are you avoiding me?"

But I pretended to be deaf and continued walking... but this time he grabbed me by the elbow.

"Didn't you hear I was asking you?"

I simply removed his hand and was about to take a step, but he stood in front of me, completely blocking my way up the stairs.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"Tss!" Blowing an air, I smiled wryly at him. "Get out of my way."

"Samantha---"

"What do you want?"

"Just answer my question, for God's sake! And don't answer me with another question!"

I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
