Spiking My Heart To Yours

Chapter 48

I didn't plan this but Chapter 48 is the longest chapter I've written so far (kahit do'n sa isang story ko). Maybe, 48 really plays a big role in this story, that's why.

[4.1k words for chapter 48]

We're nearly at the end. Happy reading, everyone!

Abby's POV

"Thank you, Laine..."

I pulled away from our hug and playfully smacked his bicep before glaring at him.

"Stop that. Alam mo namang baka–"

"Magalit 'yung girlfriend mo. Yeah, yeah. I know." naiiling at natatawang tapos nito sa sinasabi ko.

Girlfriend? Psh. In your dreams, Abby.

I chuckled while turning my head to look at our surroundings.

Naalarma ako nang makitang marami na palang mga estudyante ang kanina pa nanonood sa amin nitong ex ko dito sa parking lot.

Pero mas ikinagulat ko nang magtama ang aming mga mata ng nag-iisang babaeng itinitibok ng puso ko.

"Sela..."

We locked our eyes for a few seconds and after that, she's the one who ends the staring contest before looking anywhere but me while wiping out something on the side of her cheek.

I frowned at this.

Is she...?

"Sela? Oh... So that's her name."

Hindi ko na pinansin si Ken na patuloy pa ring nagsasalita sa tabi ko at sinundan ko na lamang ng tingin ang kaninang babaeng nakatingin sa akin na ngayon ay bahagyang tumalikod na at patakbong umalis ng parking lot.

Nang mawala na ito sa aking paningin ay napalunok na lamang ako at napakagat-labi.

Fvck. She saw us...

No, Abby. She just imagined you and your ex, hugging each other. Idiot, of course, she saw the both of you!

What a day...

Flashback

After laying on my bed for I don't know how long, I decided to reply to his text.

Okay, later at 7 pm.
Just text me the address.

sent!✔️

Yes, that's Ken. The ex. He's been bugging me to meet him these past few days and it's really getting annoying.

But I think it's time to settle things up. May problema na nga ako sa relasyon namin ng babaeng mahal ko tapos dadagdag pa sa picture 'tong ex ko.

Then I think, I should fix one of these two problems of mine so that I can focus myself on the other one after, if I can't fix both at the same time.

That explains why I had agreed to meet him just now. Baka tumigil na siya sa pangungulit.

Right now, andito lang ako sa kwarto. I had already taken a shower but my lazy ass won't just help me be a grown-up-ass woman who's mature enough to stop herself from doing self-pity.
