Confessions of a Third Wheel

Chapter 1

"Saki my love will you come with me this weekend?"

As much as I wanna cringed but I stopped myself. Anyone who is hearing this conversation between me and the person in front of me will think that I'm getting asked out.

Sorry na lang sila, but that is not the case. He do look manly and handsome as hell. I think there will be lots of girls who will fall for this man but meh you all girls got it wrong.

This man in front of me don't swing that way, baka nga maging karibal pa nila ito. I was about to roll my eyes but he looked sharply at me.

"What? I'm not even doing anything!"

"Not doing anything? I know how your brain works my love."

Sarap batukan talaga nito, sya na nga nanghihingi ng pabor. Alam na alam naman nya na ayaw ko ng may lakad pag weekends as much as possible maliban na lang kung scheduled. Like go to grocery, visit my parents home and when I really intended to go on a vacation.

"Saan mo na naman ba ako dadalhin?"

"May lakad kami ni alam mo na."

Pagminsan talaga di ko pa rin matake kaartehan nitong lalaking ito.

"Bruh malaki ka na di mo na ako kailangan."

"Yikes stop calling me bruh."

Kitang kita mo kung gaano naaalibadbaran sya sa term na yun. Payback bitch for taking my weekends.

"Gagawin mo na naman akong shield against kayna Tita at Tito? Akala ko ba okay na sa kanila? Di ba nga matagal ka nang nag out? Ano pa prinoproblema mo?"

Napakamot si Mat sa ulo, as much as his parents already know his sexuality they don't want him to change his name. It has been a year since he told his parents what he really is but I guess its still a shock to them especially kay Tito since Mat is their only son in their 5 children.

"Mom been used to you coming with me when I go out of town so ayun. She told to tell you to tag along and also your mom requested it."

"What? My mom?"

My mom really knows me. Marahil dahil its been a month since last akong dumalaw sa province namin and she knows I can be such a workaholic.

"So ano na my love? Sama ka na this weekend?"

Sa ayaw ko man at hindi I need to come with him if not makakatikim ako ng sermon kay mama.

"Ano pa nga ba?"

"Ayun sasama din naman pa ayaw ayaw ka pa. At saka oras na para magkalove life ka! Tama na ang pagiging third wheel! Gusto ko namang magdouble date."

"Hinay hinay ka lang bruh, bakit ba mas magaling ka pa sakin? At saka sino may kasalanan kung bakit ako third wheel? Isn't it your fault."

"Bahala ka maging old maid ka nyan. Kaya its time na so pack your best swimsuits and summer clothes we are going to the beach this weekend."

Napabutonghininga na lang ako. Hope I enjoy my weekend away from my precious bed.

Tho I have been third wheeling in Mat out of town escapades, it was a fun experience at times. Mat and I have been best of friends since way back in elementary. Would you believe that we used to fight a lot back then but we eventually become friends. And his comment about me being an old maid in the future? Well the thing is I never dated tho I have been to dates but because I was third wheeling.

I have seen a lot of kinds of dates. I'm truly happy to see my friends enjoy their date with their other half. As much as I don't like to admit it but its not only Mat's dates I have been, I have gone with my girl friends in college and till now.

While everyone was busy exploring what love is in college, I was busy studying because I promised my parents I won't date till I finish my studies. But it has been years since I graduated and my lovelife is still zero.

I'm not complaining I'm happy the way I am today, if he comes then he comes, if not then I guess that's my fate. I have always been one of the boys and I think some gets intimidated because I'm such a tall girl. Mat is 6'4'' and he is just taller than me by a couple of inches.

As I look at Mat leaving I suddenly realized my lunchbreak is about to be over and I need to go back to my post and dang I only have a few minutes left before the meeting. 

Dali-dali kong inayos ang gamit ko and pick up my bag, but as I was about to get out of the restaurant someone collided to me making me fall to the floor.

I'm already in a rush and this happens. 

"You okay miss?"

I look up and saw a hand, I take it and stand up carefully. Its not the time for me to explode I'm running late and I don't wanna argue with a person.

When I finally saw the person I wanna punch him. Of all people why its him?

"I'm fine. I need to go." I said and immediately left but I heard him say something.

"Misaki you're still the same girl I remember."

I clenched my fist. Why now? Now I'm glad Mat bugged me into going with him in the weekends.
