"Oh, it's you, they add up
I'm in love with you"

"You really like this song ha?" I asked looking up at her pretty face. My head is resting in her lap, we're under the tree here in the field.

"And I'm in love with you
And all these little things"

She keeps humming the same song.

"It reminds me of you" nakangiting sambit niya habang pinalalandas ang kanyang daliri sa buhok ko.

"Thank you, Kay"

"For what?" kunot noong tanong ko.

"For everything, for being the best thing that happened to me"

Ngingiti na sana ako pero agad akong napasimangot, bumangon ako at bahagyang lumayo sa kanya nang may maalala.

"What's wrong?" tanong niya nang mapansin ang hindi maipintang mukha ko.

"Tss, you have a boyfriend, don't you?" gusto kong masuka nang banggitin ang katagang boyfriend.

"I have? Who?"

"Don't act innocent" I crossed my arms and glared at her. She heaved a sigh and caress my cheeks.

"I'm sorry but Vince and I don't have that kind of relationship"

"Then why you were always together?"

Umiwas siya ng tingin bago sumagot.

"I thought you will change your mind and come back to me if you saw us together" she murmured.

"You kissed him" malamig na turan ko. I clenched my fist when I remembered those scene.

"I didn't. Wala akong alam na gagawin nya 'yun, umalis ka agad kaya hindi mo nakita ang pagsampal ko sa kanya. After that incident hindi na sya nakalapit sakin. This might be horrible thing to say but I used him because I thought I can get you back that way" malumanay na paliwanag nya.

But still, it pisses me off!

I sighed. There's no point kung aawayin ko pa sya. May kasalanan din naman ako. But that jerk, he'll see hell.

"Don't let anyone kiss you ever again" banta ko. She nodded. I smirked inwardly. Buti naman at nagkakaintindihan kami.

"Good. What about Sancho?" I asked.

"What about him?" naguguluhang tanong niya.

"Did he ever kiss you?" nakataas na kilay na tanong ko.

"No, we're too young noong maging kami"

Buti naman. But the idea na naging sila still pisses me off.

"Ang bata mo maglandi, hindi ako natutuwa" I said rolling my eyes pero nagawa lang ako nitong tawanan.

"I don't like him gaya ng iniisip mo. Everyone pressured me and then it just happened"

Napatingin ako sa kanya. I can see it from her eyes, how she really felt. It must be hard for her. I know that feeling, even if we said na nasa kanya ang desisyon it's still not easy dahil palagi tayong conscious sa tingin ng ibang tao. This is why I hate pleasing people. Once you get chained ang hirap nang makawala. I'm glad na nabawas bawasan ang ugali nyang 'yan. I heaved a sigh.

"Only I can kiss you Siren, if anyone dared, they will have a taste of a real hell" makahulugang sambit ko.

Muli syang tumango ng paulit-ulit. Good, because I'm serious. I'm not possessive but what's mine is mine alone.
