Chapter 25: Don't Talk To Me Again

Chapter 25: Don’t Talk To Me Again
My heart felt like it had been shattered into tiny bits of glass. All of them fell down on the floor like a big bucket, almost making my ears deaf and hurt by the crashing sound it made as I watched the two people in front of me, like a lovey-dovey couple.
Auton Smith, the man who claimed himself as my boyfriend is flirting with an unknown porcelain-skinned woman. My chest went up and down, unable to breathe comfortably as I felt the tears building up at the corners of my eyes. How could he stand there like he left no woman behind? How could touch another woman who is not me when he clearly promised he’d never hurt me?
I gasped. With my heavy, throbbing heart, I prodded towards him. “Auton Smith!” I called his name in a voice I didn’t know I had. My tone was a mixture of a girl who was trying hard to contain all her emotions inside, but with utter anger slowly sipping into my veins.
The woman’s hair fell on her sides when she glanced at me, and instead of looking back, Auton acted like he didn’t hear my calls and even had the audacity to hold the woman’s back and guide her away from where I am.
“Auton! Where are you going? Come back here!” I yelled, almost running just so I could reach him before I finally lost sight of him. “Auton Smith!”
“Baby, someone is calling you, don’t you want to go back and talk to her?” I heard the woman’s sweet voice say to him, making my insides boil even more. “She’s crazy, don’t mind her,” he answered.
Before he could turn away from me and enter what I could remember as the music room, I ran towards him and held onto his shoulders, pulling it back to make him turn towards me.
“What the hell is your problem?!” He yelled, making me stand a step back in shock as I glanced at the woman beside him closely.
Her bulging round eyes told me that she was trying to familiarize who I am, and it was also evident in her face that she was startled about my sudden bold move. “Who are you, Miss?” she asked in a shaky voice, but I didn’t give myself time to answer her and instead focused all my attention on the man I’ve been trying to search for for a whole week.
“I should be the one asking you that question! Where have you been? Why are you not answering my calls?!” I asked, my chest pounding loud and fast as I stared at his deep set of brown amethyst eyes. My eyes shifted towards the woman. “And who’s this? I didn’t know we had such a privilege to be with another person when the last thing I could remember is that I am your girlfriend!”
Never mind how humiliating the scene was. Never mind trying to stay silent and choosing my battles wisely. This man is making me lose my patience, and he wouldn’t even talk to me! He even tried to get away by dragging another woman!
A bow of anger pierced right in front of my heart, digging its head deeper that my eyes bled with tears.
Auton glanced at the lady who was still standing between us. With our distance, I heard him whisper to her to wait for him inside before he faced me again.
“What is your problem? Why are you making a scene here?” his voice thundered, his brows furrowed and jaw clenching tightly.
I gasped, lifting my finger as I stabbed his hard chest using it. “You are my problem! I am trying to search for you but you won’t show up! I am calling you many times but you won’t even answer! Why did you suddenly disappear like that?” I yelled, tears fell down my cheeks as I asked him with all my unanswered queries.
Just imagining all the days, all the nights I’ve been worrying for him, thinking that maybe something bad happened to him had been hard for me. It was a rough week, and with him not answering any of my messages even added up to the things that kept on playing inside my mind, only to see him here with another girl!
“And now I will see you with someone else, huh? How dare you, Auton! How dare you promise everything to me when you are here, busy flirting with another woman when you have a girlfriend waiting for you!”
“Stop bugging me, Tayla! Why do you care if I am with another woman? Huh? Does it bother you so much that you can see me just as happy with her, huh?” Auton yelled back, his eyes turning bloodshot as he moved towards me with his sharp eyes sending daggers at me.
“I am your girlfriend, Auton!” I replied, my voice mirroring anger and disappointment as it broke. But what pained me the most right now, is that I could see nothing but indifference in his eyes. It was purely blank, I couldn’t even see anger on it even though his jaw and his tight lips could describe it.
But his eyes...those eyes never lie. It was as if he was just trying to match the intensity of my voice but he was not really angry. It was cold, blank...unreadable. So cold that my body shivered when he stood closer to me.
“Well, not anymore, Tayla.” a smirk slowly grew on his lips. Those bloodshot eyes reddened more, and slowly...it turned out to be wicked. “If you will be like this if you will be scandalous and never think of how humiliating it was for me then let’s just pretend we don’t know each other,” his words were full of intensity.
It was like a knife stabbing nonstop in my chest. Never thinking twice, never thinking about how I would end up after hearing those words.
“I don’t know what you are saying, Auton. I-I…”
“I didn’t reach out to you because I planned it! I was trying to find the right time to call it quits because I feel bad for you but after humiliating me like this…” his eyes shifted to the people around us, who were then looking at me with judgment and pity in their eyes.
“Then I better say it to you right here. Don’t ever talk to me again, Del Mariano.”
“We are freaking done.”
