CHAPTER TWO: ENOUGH TO MELT ME

" there are many, many things shining in this world. But among them, you're the only one that's precious to me "

- IMPERFECT LOVE (SEVENTEEN)

MONTHS LATER

Look, back then... I thought that my mom is the prettiest... most gorgeous human being there is in this world. My mother would have to be the first one and the next one would be Yael Heron Manuel. I mean look at him! His eyes! His nose! His cheeks! And... his smile! Nakatulong din yung buhok niya at pati rin yung katawan niya... shit!

This man is perfect. Maybe God does have his favorites and this man... is one of them. Nababaliw ako. No, hindi ako nababaliw. Baliw na talaga ako sa kanya, baliw na baliw ako kay Yael.

"Yael..." tawag ko sa kanya sa tabi ko habang busy siya sa homework niya.

Since the day I met him, I told Ryland to let me meet his brothers. Obviously, gusto 'kong makilala nang husto si Yael. At nang mas makilala ko siya, mas lalo lang akong nahulog sa kanya. Paborito niyang kulay yung berde, which is surprisingly also my favorite color! Mahilig din siyang kumain nang tater tots, and me too!

"Hm?"

And now we are hanging out together with his brothers except Ryland, Jaxon, and Brent are busy buying us drinks on the second floor.

"Gusto kita." natigil nanaman siya sa ginagawa niya at agad siyang napatingin sa'kin.

Halata sa mukha niya ang gulat sa sinambit ko. Ilang beses ko na bang nasabi sa kanya na gusto ko siya? Marami marami na rin. And no matter how many times I tell him, he's still surprised and I find it adorable. Yung mga mata niyang kumikinang sa hiya sa tuwing sinasabi ko kung gaano ko siya kagusto.

"Uhm... D-Diana... I don't..."

"I know." I smiled.

"Pero gusto pa rin kita, gusto ko lang malaman mo para hindi ako mawala sa isip mo." I chuckled to myself.

His eyes widened again and this time he tried to put back all of his attention to the homework in front of him. Hindi ko mapigilang matawa sa nakikita ko, I could feel it... I could see it, nahihiya siya sa mga pinagsasabi ko. Nakita ko rin ang pagmula ng mga pisngi niya, kahit saglit lang, alam ko na may naramdaman siya sa mga sinabi ko.

It's giving me hope that he'd like me back. That maybe may maramdaman din siya para sa'kin.

"Wala ka bang klase?"

"Hindi pa nag-ring yung bell, Yael."

"Ah... r-really..."

God, that voice. It's adorable.

"Diana, wala ka bang homework? O 'di ka man lang ba mag-aaral para sa quiz niyo? Sabi ni Ryland busy ka raw..."

"Hindi ngayon. I always have time for the man I adore~" I flirted again.

Hindi ko inaakalang darating ang panahon na magiging ganito akong tao pagdating sa lalaking gusto ko. Hindi ko rin inaakala na mahuhulog ako sa kanya sa isang tingin lang, siguro hindi tingin pero titig.

"Stop that, Diana. It's not... good..."

"Yeah but you're good, Yael. Kaya kita gusto, you're a really good guy. And I want to know more about you..."
