Porque Te Demoras Novels & Stories

I said, thinking quickly of a reason. “Why?” He asked, still suspicious. “I wanted to know what time this ceremony is?” I said, wishing I could have thought up a better excuse. “You have something important to do or something?” He asked, his gaze still narrowed on me as if he was trying to burn a hole through me. “Nah I just tend to oversleep. Didn’t want to be late to your party and end up disrupting it. I tend to drag my feet in the mornings.” I said lightly, trying to cover my ass.

" He looked to the other side and didn’t speak a word while I was expecting his answer. For almost a minute, he stood unmovable and was busy in his thoughts. Why is he taking so much time to say an answer to one question? He surely was taking advantage of my situation and keeping me wait for more. Is it so hard for him to keep me beside him and live for few days with me? I begin to overthink again. When the hell is he going to respond instead of standing like a statue?

- She thought. "Argh! Why is he not replying? It's been two minutes!" The girl said annoyed on whoever her text mate is. She's annoyed but she still looks like an angel. "What's your order Ma'am?" I repeated. I still want to stare at her but the queue is getting longer.

It was not even a minute that passed by and I was waiting for him to give me a call again so that I can pick it up. I waited for some time more but I was getting impatient. I at once picked up the phone to call him back. "No wait what excuse will I give", I said to myself. Should I say, "I am sorry, I was busy", or " I was in shower", or directly start with "why did you call?".... OOH this is so difficult. I was about to throw the phone again when the phone rang. At once I got on my toes to pick it up. It was unknown number.

he breathed out. “How long have you felt this way?” “Since yesterday.” “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?! I could have helped! Or gotten you help! Why did you wait so long?!” “Because I didn’t want to worry you. I wanted to see you again and I didn’t want to bother anyone else.”

"If you can't state any meaningful reason why you're here, then leave and don’t come back here." He pretended not to hear me and extended the bouquet toward me. "Got these for you. I just got back. We had a bit of a complication on our way to Puwak. That’s the reason for my delay, I should’ve been here about two hours ago." "I didn't ask for that information," I interrupted. "I know you didn't. I'm simply explaining myself." He said softly, then apologized. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting."

Patient. Waiting.

“Then why the delay? If you’re so determined to move on, why not finalize this now?” “Because—” I started to explain, but he cut me off again. “Because what? You need time to think of a better strategy? Or maybe you’re waiting for your boyfriend to swoop in and help you handle these ‘pressing matters’ you keep mentioning?” His voice was laced with mockery.

"Why is he not arriving just yet? What is taking so long for him to meet up with you?" He took another deep sigh before answering my question again. "Well, I also ask myself the same question!"

"Why the hell didn't you reply, huh?" Although he couldn't see me, I blinked in confusion, "Uh? What I am supposed to reply on that?" My question was genuinely out of confusion, but it seemed like he thought I was being sarcastic when he scoffed and told me I could've thought of something just to continue the message. "I was waiting for a reply, baby. I wasn't able to talk to you for the whole day because these damn meetings and paperworks wouldn't let me have even a minute for myself."
