Be With Me Then (Then Series #5)

Chapter 38

Chapter 38 

Boyfriend

"I thought you're sleeping." I said at mabilis na umayos ng upo dahil sa hiya. Nasaan ba kasi si Almia? 

"I am, but I know your scent." he said at tumitig naman ako sa kanya and he just gave me a smile. 

"Where is Mia, by the way?" I ask and I saw him smirk and look at me. 

"Her boyfriend pick her up," he said at sinabing tinawagan niya lang daw talaga si Oliver para sumabay dahil nung nagpunta daw siya sa unit ko wala doon sa parking yung kotse ko at sakto naman daw na nagpunta doon si Oliver na wala palang alam sa lakad namin ni Mia. 

Buong byahe nakatingin lang ako sa bintana pero nagulat na lang ako ng may kumuha sa kamay ko at hinawakan yun and when I look at him nasa daan pa din yung daan niya and I was about to speak nang maunahan niya na ako. 

"You know what, it is sometimes scary when you are quiet. I don't know it's just scaring me." he said without looking at me at nasa daan pa din yung tingin. 

Tumitig lang ako sa kanya at napangiti na lang ako while looking at him. At first you will really ask yourself if you deserve a guy like him. He is too much for me. I am a mess while he is perfect. But destiny played with us or me rather, destiny make me fall to a guy like Renzo. 

Hindi man lang naisip ng tadhana na tatanungin ko yung sarili ko if I deserve a guy like Renzo hinayaan niya na agad ako na mahulog. Renzo is the missing piece on my puzzle he complete me and he fill the empty space in my heart and life. 

He is all I need now. At first it was my family and my friends but when Renzo came in my life, it all change. All I want is to be with him. 

I am not aware that while looking at him my tears are already falling. Before, it was because of pain but this time it's because of happiness. 

"Renzo." I call him all of a sudden and he look at me at nakita ko yung gulat sa mata niya ng makita niyang umiiyak ako. He quickly stop the car on this side of the road and face me and hold my face. 

"Why? Did I do something wrong or did I say something wrong?" he ask at mabilis naman akong umiling sa kanya at hinawakan yung kamay niya na nakahawak sa pisngi ko. 

"I'm thankful... Thank you for choosing to be with me and thank you for loving a mess like me. I am too damaged but you managed to love me." I said and hold his hand tightly. 

"No need to thank me... Because you deserve my love and I should be the one thanking you. You managed to love me despite of your pain. And thank you for that, baby." he said and wipe my tears. 

We just stare at each other before he kiss my forehead and smile at me bago sinumulan ulit yung sasakyan while holding my hands kaya hinigpitan ko na lang din yung paghawak sa kamay niya. 

"Irene, I actually want to ask you something." Renzo said nang makapasok siya ng unit ko. Nauna kasi akong pumasok dahil may nakita akong press malapit sa entrance ng parking and he is wearing a cup kaya hindi naman ata siya mapapansin. 

"What is it?" I ask. 

"Do you have plan on telling to my cousin and Raffy or to everyone about us?" he ask and that stopped me. 

That is what's bothering me when I let Renzo be with me. I already have enough reason of hiding my relationship with Renzo to everyone pero hindi ko naisip na kung dapat ba o tama ba na isama ko yung mga kaibigan ko doon lalo na at Raffy is my boyfriend's twin sister and Zaira is my boyfriend's cousin. 

Alam kong parang hindi naman tama na magtatago ako sa kanila pero once kasi na sabihin ko sa kanila about me and Renzo alam kong magtatanong sila. And I can't answer them anymore. I don't want to lie to them about how I met Renzo because that is the moment I can't forget enough na siiguro nung una akong nagpanggap na first meet lang namin noon.
