All I Want (UNDER HEAVY EDITING)

18

Napa kurap kurap ako. Hinihintay na bawiin niya ang sinasabi niya kasi baka nagbibiro lang siya pero hindi. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin na para bang naghihintay sa isasagot ko sa biglaang pag amin niya.

"Sabi ko ano... hindi sino." ngumuso ako.

"Was my confession too sudden?" humalakhak ito.

Tinignan ko si Vianna na kunot noong nakatingin sa direksyon namin. Hindi siya makaalis dahil hawak hawak siya ni Vera at Hera. They were caging her.

"Was that a confession?" nakataas ang isang kilay na tanong ko.

Lumabi ito. "Should I make it special next time? But my confession today is special because my feelings are true and genuine." nagulat ako sa sinabi niya!

Was this really true or am I just dreaming? Gusto kong kurutin ang sarili ko pero hindi ko magawa dahil nasa harap ko si Archer! Baka akalain niya na weirdo ako or something!

"Wow. I'm speechless. Really." humalakhak ito.

"Don't worry, I'm not telling you to like me or return my feelings. But if you want to work this out we can get to know each other slowly then maybe... maybe we can be in a relationship." kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi ko.

"You mean you'll court me?" tumango ito kaya humalakhak ako.

Hindi na napigilan ang saya na nararamdaman! He looked at me weirdly before smiling like he looked satisfied with my laugh.

"Akala ko ba hindi mo ako magugustuhan kailan man?" I wiggled my brows.

Teasing him but he didn't blush or something! Instead he smiled back at me. Equalling my happiness!

"I ate my words. I fell..." yumuko ito at nang nag-angat ulit ng tingin ay nagtama ang mata naming dalawa.

Namumungay ang mata niya habang nakatingin sa akin. Damn, never in my life did I expect for this thing to happen. Hindi ako umasa na magugustuhan niya ako!

"It's not fast Lair. I was attracted to you since before but attraction is normal. You know what made me like you?" umiling naman ako.

"I don't know... I'm not likable." humalakhak ako.

Ngumuso ito. "Wrong. You're very much likable Lair. First I liked you for being pretty and smart. Pero hindi ko iyon pinansin dahil nga sa mga chismis pero nung nakilala kita..." lumapit ito sa akin.

Tumingala ako para magtama ang mata namin. He smiled at me genuinely and it honestly made my heart melt.

"I fell for your personality. Not because you're pretty and smart. That's probably an add on. I like you because you're kind and goal oriented. You're too kind that sometimes I think it's wrong that I like you." nagulat ako sa biglang pag-amin niya.

"Y-you think I'm kind?"

"Hmm, you are kind. Bakit ka pa nakikisama sa akin kung hindi? I technically bullied you-"

"You didn't. Sure you did say something bad but that doesn't make you a bad person. That's just how you look at me before. Your point of view and I don't blame you for that." kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko.

"You can call me a hypocrite for saying this but you shouldn't let them bully you Lair. Hindi ka dapat masanay sa ganito na pagtrato. It feels wrong. No, it's wrong. You're getting used to this and I don't like it. I know it's partly my fault so I'm sorry. I really am." Ngumiti ako at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

Bumaba ang tingin niya roon. Mukhang nagulat at hindi inaasahan na gagawin ko iyon.

"Stop thinking about that. Okay na ako. At tungkol sa biglaang pag amin mo... Gusto ko kasing idahan dahan ito. Ayaw kong magdesisyon agad agad at baka magkamali ako o baka hindi pa ako handa."
