One Shot Stories

I was just silent the whole ride. Halos manakit na ang mga mata sa kakaikot dahil kanina pa ako naiirita. I don't even even know why. Bigla nalang akong nawalan ng gana.

Oh, right. Alam ko nga pala kung bakit ako naiinis. And for sure, alam din nitong katabi ko pero kung makaasta akala mo inosente. I sighed loudly at padabog kong sinandal ang likod ko sa upuan ng sasakyan ni Trevor.

I saw him took a glance at me but my face just remained blank while looking at the sideways.

Naramdaman kong parang dumadahan ang paggalaw ng kotse only find to out that we're in the middle of traffic. Great! Ngayon pa talaga.

Eksaherada akong bumuntong hininga ulit para lang maramdaman man lang nitong katabi ko na naiinis ako sa kanya. Hello, Trevor? Galit ako, baka naman maisipan mo akong suyuin man lang?

I looked at him only to get more irritated when I saw him just cooly sitting habang tinatapik ang manibela. May pasisipol-sipol pa nga! Baka galit ako?

"Hindi ko alam kung tanga ka o baka naman namanhid kalang talaga dahil sa kinain nating malamig na pizza kanina!" I said sarcastically. Don't tell me kasing kapal na ng mukha nya yung tinapay na kinain namin kanina.

I squeaked inwardly when I remember the reason of my grumpiness again. That stupid, cold pizza!

He looked at me softly and sighed.

"I asked you what you want for lunch pero sabi mo ako na ang bahala. Wala rin naman akong maisip that's why we had pizza." He then caressed my hands pero tinabig ko lang ang kamay nya.

I rolled my eyes at him for the nth time just to emphasize na naiinis pa rin ako.

"I let choose where we can eat but that doesn't mean that we can have just anything like that pizza! Alam mo namang gusto ko ng sushi diba?" Nagdadamdam na saad ko.

"Then you should've have said it. You told me to decide where we eat that's why I thought okay lang sa'yo kahit saan." I glared at him annoyingly because of his tender voice.

Heto ako't inis na inis sa kanya pero napakalmado lang nya! Wala lang ba sa kanya 'tong away namin?

"I let you decide because I am expecting you to choose my favorite. Alam mo na gusto ko ng sushi pero dun ka pa talaga sa pizza lumiko!" Nag-aalburuto kong lintaya.

We've been together for years, for sure alam nya na kung anong gusto ko!

He had a deep sigh and moved the car forward. Umuusad na pala kami.

"Okay, I'm sorry alright? It was not my intention to annoy you, akala ko lang talaga okay lang sayo kahit ano. I'm sorry." I pouted when he suddenly apologized to me. Feel ko pa naman sanang mainis ngayong araw pero bigla nalang syang nag-sorry.

He's been always like this. So understanding. Kapag nag-aaway kami, sya lagi yung unang nagso-sorry. Wala na tuloy akong maisip na nakakainis.

I looked down and scratch my fingers lightly habang nag-iisip ng pwede pang pag-awayan. Think, Gail! Hindi ka pwedeng umuwi na bati kayo.

I tried thinking of something he did that was super annoying pero wala na akong maisip. I sighed loudly for him to know that I'm still irritated with his decision.

Nagpupuyos na ako dito sa galit pero sya pa chill chill lang na nagmamaneho. Huh! Akala nya ah. Di ko sasagutin tawag nya mamayang gabi!

Para akong pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa ng marating namin parking ng condo ko. Hindi man lang ako nakaisip ng bagong pag-aawayan!

He went out of his car para sana pagbuksan ako ng pintuan pero inunahan ko na sya just to prove to him that I'm still annoyed! I heard him sigh but that was all. Ni wala man lang violent reactions.

He bit his lips and stared at me amusingly. I arched my brow at him. What the hell is funny?

He stepped closer but I stepped back. Inirapan ko sya at dali-daling tumalikod para pumasok sa elevator. I heard him calling me but I ignored him.

Hah! Akala nya ah. Hindi ko sya papansinin bukas. I laughed at my childish action.

I was walking at the hallway leading to my condo when I saw Alice. I smiled at her and she immediately blushed. She been really shy because of Trevor. She said that he's intimidating. I don't think so.

"Galing po kayo sa date ni kuya Trevor, ate?" She asked nicely and looked at my back. I nodded at her and she immediately squeaked. Natawa naman ako sa kanya.

"Ang swerte nyo po talaga kay kuya no? I saw you hang out one time and he was so sweet! Kailan kaya ako nagkakaganun ate no?" She said dreamily habang pinagtitiklop ang kamay. Parang tanga lang.

It's not beyond my knowledge that everyone envy the relationship I have with Trevor. He's such a gentleman and he's so sweet. Naisipan ko lang namang pagtripan sya ngayong araw. Wala lang, meron ako e.

It's been minutes when I got in my condo. I keep looking on my phoe pero wala talaga message yung damuho. I'm starting to get irritated for real! Dahil lang nainis ako sa kanya hindi na sya magtetext? Edi wag! Hindi ko rin sya itetext kung ganon!

I sighed sharply when I heard the doorbell of my unit rang. Sino naman tong istorbo na to? Nag-eemo ako eh!

Handa na akong bulyawan kung sino man ang tangang nang-istorbo sa pagse-senti ko nang makita ko ang nakangiting si Trevor sa pintuan habang may hawak na paper bag.

"Kelangan mo?" Walang buhay kong tanong. Lakas ng loob na hindi magtext tapos pupunta ngayon dito sa condo ko?

My brows furrowed when he handed the paper bag he's holding cutely. I just raised my brow at him.

"Here's your sushi, baby. So stop rolling your eyes on me." My eyes widened with his statement. I immediately grabbed the bag and my mouth watered in instant after seeing those delicious sushi!

I smiled at him cutely and reluctantly hugged him. He laughed at my sudden reaction and hugged me tighter.

"Tinotoyo ka na naman." He said jokingly. I looked at him and smiled softly.

It's not like I just realized it by now, but I am definitely lucky to have him. He always gets his way to handle my mood. It's not like I'm abusing him pero gusto ko talaga tuwing sinusuyo nya ako.

Other people say that we lasted together kasi wala naman daw na kaming hahanapin sa iba. It's like we're born to complete each other. But I think it's because we understand together. We can handle every version of each other that's why we last.

Getting into a relationship is not about being with someone who'll complete you. Hindi pwede yung dahil kinokompleto nyo ang isa't isa ay magtatagal na kayo. It's always about finding someone who can understand every bit of you, in every way he can. Because if you can understand each other, you'll have a deeper connection. And that connection will be the the strongest foundation of your relationship.
