Dangerous Kisser [COMPLETED]

DANGEROUS KISSER: THREE

DANGEROUS KISSER: THREE

DAYS PASSED and soon turned to months, and then to years. Ang akala nilang isang taon lang na pagiging roommates ay umabot hanggang sa mag-graduate sila. They even became best friends.

Charles was comfortable calling his best friend, Gab, short for Gabrielle. Similar to Angelo who calls him, Nick, short for Dominique.

But that friendship was ruined by that single phrase.

"I love you, Nick."

Charles can see the sincerity and pure love in Angelo's eyes. But damn! That's their rule number one! No falling in love with each other.

"I... I can't... You're mistaken, Gab. That's breaking rule number one—we're not allowed to even like each other—"

"F*ck the rules! I don't give a hell about them, Nick. Ikaw lang naman ang nag-set ng rule na 'yun kahit hindi naman ako um-oo."

"No, Gab. Don't do this—"

"Don't do this? Mukha bang choice kong mahulog sayo? Ilang beses mo na bang ipinamukha sa aking ayaw mong magkagusto sa kaibigan? Ilang beses mo na bang sinampal sa akin ang katotohanang hindi mo 'ko kayang mahalin?" Angelo was close to crying but he did his best not to.

"And I'm sticking to that, Gab!" Charles couldn't help but raise his voice, but he soon realized the effect when he saw Angelo's reaction. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you—"

"Just give me a chance, Nick. Please. I'll show you it's worth breaking the rules—"

"I-I can't, Gab. Please. 'Wag ganito. Ang dami-daming tao sa mundo, please, not me."

Angelo kept shaking his head. "Mahal kita. Mahal na mahal kita... At first, I thought it was a plain attraction. I know I'm bisexual, but I also didn't expect it. You're my best friend so trust me, Nick. I just woke up feeling this—like you're the most important person in my life, and I like it, Nick. I like the fact that I fell in love with you." Angelo's feelings were mixed up. Pagmamahal, saya, takot at pangamba dahil nakikita niya ang pagtutol sa mga mata ni Charles. "Please, Nick, give me a chance. Fine! Don't think of me as your best friend, but as a guy who's deeply in love with you."

Angelo wanted to hope. He knew how caring and loving Charles was. He knew for a fact that Charles doesn't like him getting hurt, at all. Charles doesn't want him crying. And right now, he's hoping... Hoping that Charles would break his rule for him... for us.

But he was wrong... So f*cking wrong.

"I don't wanna lose a friend like you but you left me no choice, Gab. Let's cut our ties." With that, Charles left the room and left Angelo, down on his knee, heart getting shattered.

"And I thought he, at least, liked me back," Angelo whispered to himself. He continued to cry and tried to lessen the pain he was feeling right now. How it sucks falling in love for the first time and ends up getting rejected.
