Bridgette
Months had passed, and my feelings towards Ella had grown too. I can't put into words how much I adore her, kaya ipinapakita ko nalang ito through action. We both are nanliligaw pa rin sa isa't isa at wala pang nagbabalak na magput ng label into us.
It's also December and I'm beyond happy sa mga nangyare these past few months. We successfully won again the yearly performance na ni-held ulit sa cultural at this time, kasama na si Ella sa nag act. She's so cool noong time na 'yun!
It's also Christmas and I am on my way to their house para sunduin siya.
Kahapon ko pa gusto ibigay sa kanya ang regalo ko but my mamita didn't let me out kasi family time pa raw namin.Gusto ko mang takbuhin ang pagitan ko at ng pintuan nila, mas pinili ko nalang maglakad. I excitedly knocked on their door and tita was the one who opened it. Nakipag beso ako sa kanya at kay tito bago ko pinuntahan ang kwarto ni Ella, where she is tulog pa raw.
Tsk. Did she forget our date?
I slowly walk towards her bed where she's snoring. Ang cute. Her hair is all over her face, and may dried laway pa ito. I didn't waste time, I snapped some photos of her and ginawa ko itong wallpaper ng phone ko.
Humiga rin ako sa tabi niya at mahina itong tinawag. Ilang minuto pa bago siya nagising. She slowly blink, then shift her eyes from me and her window. Bago ko pa siya mabati ng good morning, mabilis niya na akong natulak at nahulog naman ako.
“Bridgette! Bakit ka ba nanggugulat?” tanong niya habang hawak-hawak ang dibdib niya.
Tumayo ako sa nahulugan ko as I dusted my pants. “I am waking you up from your deep sleep, sweetie. Tapos ihuhulog mo lang ako sa higaan mo? It hurts ah.”
Ngumiwi ito. “Hindi ko kasalanan na ginulat mo ako. Tsaka, ang aga-aga pa. Bakit ka andito?”
I stared at her in disbelief. So I was the only one excited for this day?
“Did you forget about our date?”
She blinked a few times before realizing something. “Hala! Ngayon pala 'yun? Akala ko bukas... Sorry! Sandali, maliligo lang ako.” She ran towards her closet as she chose what to wear.
When she's done, she immediately flop back into bed and kissed my cheek which made my frown turn into a full smile.
Oh my gosh. She just freaking kiss me.
“Sus, kiss lang pala ang katapat.”
Agad kong binalik ang expression ko kanina na nagpatawa naman sa kanya. Hmp, nilulusutan niya ata ang kasalanan niya ah.“Nope. I'm not happy na kinalimutan mo ang date natin.”
She shakes her head and smiled at me. “Sorry, Bridgette. Napuyat kasi ako kakagawa ng bahay natin sa minecraft na ipapakita ko sana sa'yo.” She threw me her phone and nasalo ko naman ito. “Check mo sa minecraft ko.”
She entered the bathroom at ni-open ko naman ang phone niya na walang pass code. Gosh, isn't she afraid na may makaopen nito? Her wallpaper is a plain white picture lang kaya I did what I think is best, nag picture ako at ginawa ko 'yun na wallpaper niya. I smiled at the thought of her seeing this. Sana kiligin siya. Binuksan ko na rin ang minecraft app and nag-iisa lang ang lugar na naka save rito. It was named, Eww, which made me frown again. Eww? Nandidiri siya?
