Get Back To You 109 Mike Confesses

Mike who ran away chased Giselle and caught up with her. Giselle's eyes swollen from the crying. She had felt humiliated.

"Giselle, please listen to me." Mike tried to stop her but, Giselle kept ignoring him and walked.

"Giselle, will you please listen to what I have to say?" Mike screamed.

"Go away, Mike," Giselle grunted.

Mike ignored her and kept following. Another word from Mike made Giselle halt.

"I SAID, LEAVE ME ALONE."

Giselle's voice echoed the evening road earning glances from the public. A few whispered from the sight. Two high school students, a male, and a female argued in the sidewalks.

Mike paused before realizing to see an end to this.

"Giselle stop, let me at least apologize to you," Mike begged.

"For What?"

"The fact that your actions were indecent."

"Yes, if so, you should apologize for that. However, don't expect me to forgive you." Giselle replied sternly.

The sudden halt startled Mike, and he's now only inches away from Giselle.

The tension between them rose. Giselle continued speaking.

"You told me that you wanted to become my friend. And, what do you do, you invade my personal s.p.a.ce and do stuff that isn't supposed to happen between friends. Fine, ignore that too."

"We just met yesterday. Things happened, and today we met for the second time. I don't even know anything about you or have I become a good friend to you but, you went ahead doing all that stuff that I hated purely."

"If what you did is normal between friends, then how come I didn't see you doing that to your other friends. Huh? Don't try to fool me, Mike! I might be shutting my mouth but, that doesn't give you the right to exploit me."

"But-" Mike tried to respond only to get cut off by Giselle.

Giselle's words broke out like a stream.

"What?"

"Don't tell me they encouraged you to do all of this," Giselle suspected.

Mike stayed quiet further confirming the involvement of others, specifically, Bridgette. He regretted following Giselle and began to feel remorse from the exploding situation that might tear the newly formed relations.h.i.+p in-between them.

"OH MY G.o.d"

"So, they were in this!"

"I'm a fool. Did Ivy asked you to behave like this?" Giselle asked.

Mike didn't respond at first but, Giselle's raging voice led him to answer her question.

"No" Mike replied.

"Then who?" Giselle demanded.

"It doesn't matter, Giselle. I just-"

"Who is it, Mike?" Giselle yelled.

Mike panted.

"I- It's Bridgette."

Mike who had listened patiently, felt the need to open out his side of the story. Out of nowhere, he found the guts to speak out from his heart. It's what the people call 'The adrenaline rush,' Mike felt it spreading all over his body. He believed that it was THE moment to express.

"I love you, Giselle."

Mike declared his feelings for Giselle out loud.

His confession might have antic.i.p.ated, but Giselle could still feel the impact of it. She collapsed on the spot.

"I know that I said I wanted to be friends with you but where in reality I have feelings for you, Giselle. There, I said it. Alright." Mike admitted.

It took a minute for Giselle to compose her figure. She can't let this drag anymore. Moreover, it isn't the confession that made Giselle enraged but the fact that there were people behind the scenes, moving cards and playing the game; that made Giselle mad.

"What did she tell you to do?" Giselle demanded overlooking the just-heard confession.

Mike's eyes twitched. His heart ached from her ignorance.

'She didn't say anything about my confession!' - Mike grieved.

Giselle exploded in ferocity.

"TELL ME, MIKE, WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU TO DO?"

The guy's entire body went weak as he responded to Giselle.

"She asked me to become your friend first. Maybe then you might show interest in me and find me attractive to date." Mike replied.

It is here that Mike realized how stupid it sounded. He felt ashamed of himself for being controlled by someone else when his true feelings were involved.

"So, you were acting to me!"

"Are you stupid?"

"Did you believe in her words and tried to play friends with me?"

"Did you think that I will fall in love with you by using your lies?"

Giselle a.s.saulted him with her questions.

Mike's face collapsed. He was getting crushed for his real emotions. His mind cursed at Bridgette for her invasion but, mainly he cursed at himself for making it complicated.

"You know what, forget it. Forget that this has happened and go back to your life. I don't want all this bulls.h.i.+t. I'm leaving." Giselle said and tried to walk out.

Giselle knew who she dealt with the past few weeks. Regardless of Mike's answer, it doesn't change the fact that she's right now being threatened by those girls brutally. Even if Mike replies, Giselle is not in a position to fight back. She felt paralyzed and decided to retire.

"Giselle, please wait-" Mike cried.

Giselle kept evading the guy.

"What do you expect from me, Mike?"

"Fall in love with you."

"Are you stupid?"

"I don't even know you in the first place."

Giselle answered calmly.

Mike paused, his heart slowly began to sap as the feeling of defeat pervaded in him. He tried hard not to lose his temper and handle the situation smoothly.

"It's okay, Giselle. I understand. You don't know me yet but, we can work it out."

Mike stuttered; calming down his uneven breathing.

"You can't just say to work it out," Giselle replied and began to walk away ignoring Mike.

"W- Wait, Giselle, you can't give me such a reply. Y- You- can't-" Mike stammered his way back to Giselle.

"Don't touch me, Mike" Giselle screamed when Mike tried to grab her hands.

Giselle felt uncomfortable with the skins.h.i.+p as well as the situation.

Mike feeling crushed by Giselle's response. His temper peeped which the guy tried to control desperately. But, no more. Mike's slaughtered feelings took another form in the name of madness. His eyes stared Giselle with hurt. The pain he a.s.sumed unbearable, he wanted Giselle to feel it too.

'She can't do this to me. I've loved her. I love my Giselle. She can't push me away. I won't I won't let her do this to me.' - Mike believed.

He gazed at the walking away image of Giselle. Mike chased after her.

He violently sought to grab her hands. Giselle's body spun and turned to face Mike. They were inches apart from each other. Mike harshly closed the distance while Giselle heaved from his actions. She got trapped in his big arms. Her heart stopped at the moment. She felt being abused physically in broad daylight.

Giselle tried hard to separate from his trap but failed.

Mike's mind raced over the situation, and he did something unexpectable.

He tried to kiss her.

Giselle struggled, tears start pouring down on her cheeks as she tried to scream only to be evaded by Mike's lips striving to abuse her. Giselle fought with all her might to dodge the guy. However, Mike relentlessly fought back.
