Likeness Novels & Stories

Marami na iyon hanggang sa natambunan na ang mga rason ko kung bakit ko nga ba sya ginusto dahil isa lang naman ang importante at ang tinutumbok non: Gusto ko sya. Her smile looks too precious as a diamond, her kindness and beauty is hard to find that everytime I look at her, I feel like I am drowning in nothingness. She's too likeable to the point that I feel like going crazy by just thinking of her. She's too lovely that I feel like she's too far like those beautiful stars in the night. Her elegance had me thinking things like... how can some people hate her? Those bullies in school, how can they say rude things to her?

Tanong ko, naluluha. "I like you, I really do Janella. I like both of you, I like Hakuna Miran and I like you but in different ways," nanatili akong nakatitig sa blangko niyang tingin. "I like you because you're like Jami, soft and sensitive. It makes me want to protect you, but I like Hakuna Miran as a lady, not as my sister, not as a friend." Nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya ay naluha kaagad ako kaya tinakpan ko ang mukha.

Kapagkuwan ay nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin at hindi ko naman mapigilang huminga nang maluwag nang makitang maaliwalas na ang mukha niya at mukhang hindi na siya galit o seryoso. “If you’re thinking that I’m being nice to you just because you looked like my daughter in law, then you’re wrong. I might be not that nice to everyone but I respect those who genuinely cares for my loved ones… and I can see that you care for my son. I can sense that you’re a good person that’s why I’m being nice to you. I hope you won’t question my intentions… is that clear?”

Dax said, deepening his voice for effect, "but remember, there's a thin line between love and hatred. For sure that hate you are feeling will turn into love. And before you know it, you'll be trapped. And you won't be able to escape until you accept it." Pshh. Nonsense. The words still haunted me. What did Dax mean? I wasn't in love that was for sure. I've had many flings, but why would hating someone bother me so much? I was jarred out of my thoughts nang bumukas ang pinto at nakita ko si Like, greeting me, closing it behind him before he came to stand next to me. He's one of my closest cousins. "What's up? You seem to hang out here for most of the day," he smiled. It's clear he's happy.

Sino ba naman ako para pumantay o bumagay sa isang katulad niya, hindi ba? Pero...hindi ko maintindihan minsan ang aking sarili kung bakit hindi ko maiwasan ang ipagkumpara sila ni Liam. Mabait si Liam at talagang marespetong tao. Palagi niyang nirerespeto ang mga sinasabi at gusto ko. Hindi katulad ni Pearl, napaka bossy, masyadong galante, maloko at higit sa lahat, hindi marunong rumespeto sa kapwa nito tao.

Approachable at humble, iyon ang katangian na nakikita at nagugustuhan ng mga babae sa kanya. Ibang-iba ang ugali ng bunso sa dalawa niyang kakambal, dahil kung laging seryoso, cold at nakabusangot sina Lorcan at Lucian ay kabaligtaran naman iyon ni Lycus na palangiti at masayahin --- may pagka-chickboy nga lang. Marami ang nahuhumaling sa bunso sa triplets dahil talaga nga naman na nakakahumaling ang alindog ni Lycus. He can make girls swoon and drool over his charming smile, especially when they see his deep dimples.

tanong ko habang pinagmamasdan siyang nakapikit. Malaki talaga resemblance nila ni Britanny. Parehong matangos ang ilong, red luscious lips, pair skin. In short, gwapo. Sayang nga lang kasi masama talaga ugali unlike his sister na super friendly. Pwede na nga siyang awardan ng Miss Congeniality. It was a long silence hanggang sa nainip ako sa paghihintay na magsalita siya o tumingin man lang.

“What if he’s just faking everything to make you believe he’s into you?” “What are you trying to say, Bliss?” Biglang sumeryso ang mood ng kanyang ina at nakaramdam siya ng kaba. “What do you mean? Aiden is not like that. He may look heartless and ruthless—that is according to what they say—but he’s kind. He loves me.”

Dapat madala na siya na siya itong palaging napapahiya sa huli. Clemenze’s eyes impressively sparked like a diamond. Napaka–youthful ng ngiti nito. Mahahalata talaga na maganda ang kalooban nito. Her simple smile made her look years younger. And she couldn't help herself to speculate kung talaga bang mag–best friend lang si Clemenze at Wolf. O kung may amorosa bang namagitan sa dalawa noon? Clemenze is one hell of a perfect woman, an ideal woman of every normal man. Kung hindi man nagka–develop–an ang magkaibigan, isa iyong kababalaghan.

I bit my lower lip. Do I like him? Hindi ko alam! Pero bakit ko siya pinabayaang hawakan ako kahit saan? Was that lust that I felt? Pero hindi 'e. I liked the way his skin touches mine. I like his cuddles. I love his smile. I like it every time he's near me. Ibig ba sabihin niyan, gusto ko na din siya. Stop!
