Chapter 9: I Owe Him

=Vanessa's POV=

What the hell just happened?! I suddenly became his... his... slave?? I'm like his dog now.

Hindi ko ito inasahang mangyari sa akin. Akala ko naman na wala lang yung pagligtas niya sa akin noong isang araw pa.

My heart even skipped a beat at that time! But now...

|| FLASHBACK ||

Jessie and I were sitting on the school campus benches.

"Ahahah! Ano ka ba Jessie? You know I did not expect that it would happen." sabi ko kay Jessie habang tumatawa. Sinabi ko sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari the day before.

"Well~  He did catch you right? How did that feel?" tanong ni Jessie sa akin.

She really loves to listen to things like this. Kaya naman naging bestfriend ko siya eh. Pareho kaming kinikilig kapag ganito ang pinag-usapan. But still, magkaiba amg amimg pag-uunawa sa salitang 'love'.

"Ahhhhhh! Jessie naman eh! You know I already told you the whole story! Just imagine how my face looked like when Josh did it!!" sinagot ko siya habang nag-b-blush ako.

How his eyes looked so concerned. How he quickly ran to catch me... How his face looked when we both crashed to the ground - but I guess it looked blurry because I closed my eyes just after the crash.

"When I did what?" sabi ng boses na hindi masyadong malayo. Boses ng lalaki yun eh.

Parang kilala ko yung boses ah. Lumingon ako sa direksiyon na kung saan galing ang boses na yun.

Nanlaki ang aking mga mata. Nararamdaman ko ang pagbalik ni Miss Stutter.

"Uhhh... Uhm...!! Ano kasi. Ermm....  T-tungkol ito s-sa pagtulong m-mo s-sa akin last time. Th-the sh-shoes?" sabi ko ni Josh.

Waaahhh!!! Gaano katagal ba siya nandito? Nakakatakot naman siya, bigla lang siya nagpakita sa harap namin.

"Liar. Alam ko na iba ang pinag-uusapan niyo diyan." sabi ni Josh habang kunot na kunot ang kanyang noo.

Grabeh naman makapagbintang. Talagang nakakatakot na yung mukha niya!! Eyy why so serious?!

Hinawakan ko ang pulso ni Jessie. Halatang natatakot na ako eh. Kung anong maaaring gawin ni Josh sa akin. Tulong naman Jessie!

"Excuse me, but you're scaring my friend. Can you not do that, PO?" sabi ni Jessie kay Josh.

Wow Jes ha? Meron pang PO sa huli. Magaling talaga itong bestfriend ko. Go Jessie go!!! Hee hee.

"Stay out of this. It's this girl and my issue. Wala kang pakialam dito." malamig na sinabi ni Josh kay Jessie.

Kapal na mukha tong gagong to! Rawr!! Gusto ko siyang suntukin!

"Hoy! Don't you dare talk to my bestfriend like that! Do that again and your face will get blackeyes, scratches, and bruises or even worse, no face at all! Jerkface!!!" uh-oh I unleashed my anger again.

As expected, parang hindi naman siya naaapektuhan sa mga sinasabi ko. Poker face pa more!!

"That's it." sabi ni Josh tapos hinila niya ako nang bigla dahilan na binitawan ko si Jessie. Kunot na kunot pa rin ang noo niya.

Hinila niya ako nang palayo kay Jessie. Noooo!! Jessie! Help me! Wwehhhh... Wwwehhhhhhh....

Pero sa pagtingin ko kay Jessie ay parang hindi siya nag-aalala para sa akin. Instead, she smiled and winked at me. Then after that, she gave two thumbs-up.
