"How are you? Are you sure na...kaya mo?"
I was talking with Aira through the phone. She's always hesitant to open up her problems in life, kaya minsan ay nag-aalala na ako.
[I'm okay...] I heard her fake laugh. [Focus on yourself, babe. I'm happy with your happiness...wag kayong maghihiwalay ni Jiro, ah!]
"I can always clear all my schedules for you, Aira." Sabi ko sa phone. "I'll book a flight to Canada, you want?"
[Silly you! Sige na, mag-aaral pa'ko. Thank you for checking me if I'm okay. I appreciate it so much...]
Aira was having a hard time to save her relationship with her boyfriend at Canada. Paminsan ay gusto 'kong sugurin ang lalaki. I'm always available to save her naman. Kaya ko siyang puntahan doon, anytime.
It was weekend and mommy kept inviting Jiro on our house which gives me so much joy. He became like part of our family.
"Do you...want to go inside my room?" Nginitian ko si Jiro.
"Ayoko. Hinihintay natin si Liam at tita." He said, not looking at me because he was busy playing something on his phone.
"Ayaw 'mong makita ang paintings ko?" I pouted.
Tinignan niya ang itsura ko at parang na kumbinsi ko siya agad. My pa-awa effect worked!
"Gusto, tara."
I opened my room and turned on the lights, para makita niya ng maayos ang mga painting na naka display sa kwarto ko. Some of them are my works from my art class way back years, and some were my recent works.
Kinuha ni Jiro ang painting ng dati 'kong kaklase sa art class. Gwen was her name, if I still remember. Mukhang 'yon ang isa sa nakapukaw ng interes ni Jiro.
"Amazing, right? My classmate just gave me that." I smiled.
"Crime in love line," He read the title engraved on the back of the canvas. "Nice..."
I just waited for him to finish admiring my paintings. I sat on my bed and opened my phone because my girls were noisy on our group chat.
Erin: hoy gusto nyo ba uminom ASAP
April: I'm with Jiro, I cant. ╮(＾▽＾)╭
Erin: Talaga? San kayo?
April: In my room.
Missy: GAGA!?!? BITCH KISS HIM NOW!
Kumunot ang noo ko sa reply ni Missy. I glared at Jiro before realizing na matagal na rin kami, yet we haven't shared our first kiss.
Jiro glanced at me with his innocent intention, while I'm having something gross in my mind. When I met his dark eyes, I suddenly had the desire of showering him kisses. He's so handsome so I'm having these thoughts! Kasalanan niya!
April: How do u kiss someone ba?
Aira: Let Erin seminar u. HAHA
Missy: Yazzz girllll Erin is expert on spicy things :)
Erin: Gago kayo kadiri!
Missy: what's gross with spicy things!? I'm referring to foods! Magaling ka magluto, right?
I closed my phone dahil wala namang maitutulong itong mga babaeng 'toh.
I breathe heavily before standing up and walking closer to Jiro, who was busy touching my stuffs.
I wasted no time, harshly pulling the hem of Jiro's shirt before I tiptoed to kiss his lips. They were soft and felt like a cloud on mine. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang ginagawa ko pero idinikit ko lang ang labi ko sa labi niya.
