All Chapters of Chained to Dust: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I sighed as I stared at Alforo's house.  Its totally huge for someone and for him especially alone.  I sipped on my glass as I drifted my eyes to Demi. "Sleep over, Ria?"   My eyes narrowed at her. "Huh?" "I already texted, Tito!"  she exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at her.  "Shall we go home too?" She barks with laughter.&

I was really stunned.  I do not know where I will get the strength to stare at Alforo.  I darted my eyes at my friend waiting for me.  Demi gigled when she saw me.  "Will you take a dip?"  she immediately questioned me.  I did not want to look at her  She wink as I saw how she tore her eyes behind my back.  I was immediately disgusted by it.  Especially when she voices out Alforo's name.  "Alforo, where are you from? We've been looking for you before."  aniya.  I did not look back.  I let my foot sink into the water.  The dim lights on the pool somehow made me recall what happened.  I immediately sighed there.  "Inside, I just drank water."  his tone were thick that it sent chills down my spine.  I heard Demi laugh.  "You don't want to drink any

I clearly remembered what happened vividly.  I don't know why I feel more uncomfortble with Alforo now than before.  Bitterness crept within me as our eyes met.  I'm wearing a peignoir as I roam my eyes on the dining table.  My eyes immediately found Alforo.  Rondier and his friends were there too.  "Where's, Demi?"  Rondier questioned me.  I turned to him, then I swayed my glanced at Alforo's wearing just a boxer shorts and a shirt.  I sighed there and avoided.  "Still tipsy, down."  I uttered.  I occupied one chair far from Alforo.  I do not want to approach him.  His gaze followed me but I averted my gaze to him.  "Fuck this hang-over!"  I heard Demi laments.  I turned to, Demi.  She still wearing her peignoir.  He immediately joined me and looked at Alforo.

The next few days were a bit tough, though I can always call Klaud for help though he's been busy for an immersion. I did not deny that either because the next day, he came voluntarily. It was then a fine lunch break, I mingled with Alforo's group, while Demi was noisy next to me. I did not immediately realize that Klaud was coming to our table. He's in a white long-sleeve and black slacks that made me watch him in awe. I smiled at him as my eyes traced his tiny motion. "Sorry for my absence guys!" he said Alfred laughed as I glided my eyes up to Alforo who seemed to have lost his appetite as he watched Klaud's hand behind me. The traced of uneasiness with his stare obviously making it more foreign. Demi shook her head. She turned to Alforo, who was staring at Klaud and me. "Your immersion is over, Klaud?" Demi asked. Klaud looked at me.

Words are powerful that it blurred what you should literally feel. It concealed those thoughts that keep running to you. Alforo's watching me with hawk-like eyes, it's menacing but alluring at the same time. He turned to me intently, in the dark, I could see him still looking at me with those piercing eyes. I cleared my throat as I strayed the topic. 

The day ended smoothly. Alforo's gaze was on me as I bid my goodbye. Somehow, I find ease and comfort with him. I can't deny that. But what made struggling is a nightmare with him. And it seems it's not just a usual dream, and it's connected, but the image of it blur immediately. My eyes found Alforo. He's wearing his jersey with a number six on it. He caught me staring, and it's too bad he chuckled teasingly. He turned to me immediately. I'm with Demi whistling at Alforo.

I woke up early on Saturday. I have done my routine. I went down and turned to Mommy. She smiled, looking at me while I'm too preoccupied. "Where will you go, hija?" "At school, Mommy. Project."

His gaze remained on me. I saw the moment his eyes softened at what he heard. The serene of the wind caressing my back made me gasp, not because of the cold it brought but because of Alforo reaction. "Seems familiar?" he chuckled. I aver

I watch how Alforo glanced twice at me.  His eyes darted at my thigh before drifting back to my eyes.  I ignored that.  I eyed him for a moment and my jaw almost dropped at the uniformity of our clothes.  His lips pursed for a hidden smile when he saw my reaction.  "Are you leaving?"  Demi asked nonchalantly.  I nodded and guided my gaze to them for a moment.  Rondier hand were on Demi's back.  My eyebrows rose at what I saw.  Demi smirked as she rolled her eyes at me.  I chuckled there.  "Message me later, Ria."  "You probably won't stay there long, will you?"  he was alert.  I nod straightly as I averted my gaze to Alforo.  He stared softly at me as if waiting.  I expressed a simple smile to him.  Even though I knew I was no longer very comfortable with him.  And

I didn't mind Alforo staring at me.  I was silent when the trip started again.  I caught Alforo's little glance at me.  If it's not on the road it's staying at me.  I sighed there.  I'm not really comfortable with him this alone.  And to what I heard.  My eyebrows rose as he turned to the other way.  My eyes narrowed at him immediately.  He's fucking serious when I eyed him.  And intimidating.  "Why did you turn around?"  I uttered calmly.  He turned to me.  His demeanor didn't change at all.  He swiftly maneuvered the car to a different path.  My forehead furrowed even more at what I noticed.  This route was way far than the one.  "This route is more far, Alforo."   He looked at me.  He grimace at me like I'm too dumb for something.  I stared at him.
