GYU15
It felt like a huge window just broke and dropped on my head.
He admitted that he's in love with me but it was not the right time for me to hear it. Ayokong tanggapin. Ayokong sabihin ang totoo.
Pero... mahal ko siya.
Alam ko iyon sa sarili ko. The feelings I had for Beau has always been love. It may have started as an innocent crush but it blossomed into love, eventually.
And with him, confessing to me all of a sudden? Damn, pakiramdam ko ibibigay ko na ang lahat para sa kanya.
"Mahal mo ako?"
He nodded.
"Bakit... bakit parang di ko ramdam?" I tried to make it as a joke by smiling again.
His forehead creased like he couldn't believe the words I just uttered. Parang bang hindi niya inaasahang iyan lang ang naging reaksyon ko.
"Ramdam mo na kaya. I always shower you with attention."
"Paano?! E, ang sama mo nga palagi!" pagmamaktol ko.
"That's how I do it..." A smile broke out on his face as he shook his head. "Actually, sayo lang ako ganoon. I always target you because you look cute when you're angry."
Ngumuso ako. "Hindi totoo! Masama ka rin sa iba!"
"But you're the one I call and go to, right?" he took another step forward.
I swallowed once again and scoffed. Paulit-ulit akong umiling at tinakpan ang tainga. He's unbelievable! Imposibleng mahal niya talaga ako?
"Wag mo nga akong paasahin! Hindi porket umamin akong mahal na kita..." I kept pouting and running away from him.
"Lucine, come here." he tried to catch me.
"Ayoko! Baka manlinlang ka na naman! Hindi ako marupok, okay? I will not succumb to any—"
He pulled my waist and grabbed the back of my head to kiss me. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang hilahin niya pa ako palapit sa kanya. His kiss was slow and sweet unlike before. This time he wanted to be gentle.
"Beau!" Tulak ko sa kanya ng matauhan ako.
"What?" he touched his lip like it's the first time, someone has ever touched it before.
"Girlfriend mo na ako?" Nagliwanag ang mata ko.
Umawang ang labi niya na parang di makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. Hindi ko nga dapat sasabihin iyon pero wala na! Sumuko na ako!
"Why? Sinasagot mo na ba ako?" he held my face gently and leaned a bit. "Boyfriend mo na ba ako, Fiorella Lucine Vallezes?"
Pinigilan ko ang ngiti. "Uh, pwede two days pa? Bitin naman kasi panliligaw mo!"
He rolled his eyes.
"It's almost a year since I started. Hindi pa ba sapat 'yon?" reklamo niya.
"Mahal mo ako, aba! Dapat matagal pa at saka dapat 'yung mukha talagang ako ang espesyal sa buhay mo!" panunukso ko pa.
He groaned. "But I won't get the right to kiss you, touch you and hug you like this. It feels so wrong doing it without the label. Kaya please, Fiorella Lucine. Gawin ko na akong boyfriend mo, para wala ng manliligaw pa..."
"Don't you know how that affects me? Gusto ko nalang sirain ang mukha nilang lahat at ipatapon sa ilog. You always opt to sit beside someone else rather than me..." his fists clenched.
